He wasn't interested in Kamen Rider Hanae's transformation system, but he was much more interested in this.

Who wouldn't want to pull a card from their waistband, stick it into some random gadget, and make it make a cool "Vanarubedo" sound?

Kuroe Minoru looked at the skill description for [Final Descent].

As mentioned earlier, he had never watched Dragon Knight; he had only seen some clips of it.

[Final Vent: Active Skill.]

[After use, the host can lock onto a single target and forcibly pull it into the attack range of their ultimate skill. In this state, the power of the host's next ultimate skill will be increased by 300%.] (Not activated)

Kuroe Minoru gasped.

The power is tripled!

If he had had this before bombing the Zerg nest today, he could have wiped them all out with a single shot.

But what does "not activated" mean?

"System, what does 'not activated' mean?"

Hei Jiang asked in detail.

[Ding, host, if you buy a cup of soy milk at a convenience store, but the clerk doesn't give you a straw, how do you drink it?]

"W-What do you mean?"

Hei Jiangshi was stumped by the examples the system provided.

What do you mean by "how to drink soy milk without a straw"? Just open the lid and drink it directly, right?

No, soy milk is a hot drink, so it's not served with a straw. How are you going to drink it?

"???"

"What nonsense are you talking about? What does this have to do with soy milk?"

"If they don't provide a straw, I'll just drink it directly?"

【…】

What I mean is... how can you unleash the final descent if you don't have a contracted beast?

Kuroe Minoru rolled his eyes.

"So this is what you wanted to talk about after all this time? You could have just said it earlier and it would have been over sooner. Why all the fuss about soy milk?"

[Ding! You don't know what's good for you.]

The system seemed to realize that its analogy was a bit too abstract, so it made a forced attempt to save face before logging off at lightning speed and never speaking again.

"Tch, getting all smug now."

Kuroe Minoru pursed his lips and put the skill book of [Final Descent] and the card box of Flower Dream into the system space.

Since we don't have any contracted beasts to use right now, let's just leave it to gather dust for now.

Anyway, his current combat strength is more than enough to deal with ordinary monsters.

Then, Kuroe Minoru turned his attention to the most tangible reward he had won in this lottery—free attribute points.

A whopping 20 points of free attribute!

"System, open your personal panel."

[Host: Kuroe Minoru]

【Body: 28】

[Willpower: 14]

Luck: 12

Available attribute points: 20

Looking at his own panel, Kuroe Minoru stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

When he first came to this world, he allocated all his attribute points to physical attributes.

But at that time his mind was still intact, so now it seems that the ratio of willpower to physical strength should not be too much of a problem.

"System, add 2 points to physical strength and 1 point to willpower."

[Ding! Attribute points allocated. Current physical attributes: 30, willpower: 15.]

Feeling a gentle power surge within him once more, and with his mind remaining clear, Kuroe nodded in satisfaction.

Excellent, a perfect 1:2 golden ratio. My brain shows no signs of overheating, and the sharp point on the top of my head has completely subsided.

"17 free attribute points remaining..."

Kuroe Minoru's gaze slowly moved down, finally settling on the last attribute on the panel.

Luck: 12

"Lucky……"

This is an attribute he has never selected before.

Kuroe Minoru stared intently at the two words, when a sudden flash of inspiration struck him.

Yup!

Isn't everything in a lottery based on luck?

In my past life, when I played those gacha games, many people lost everything and became slaves to the game companies in pursuit of a limited-edition character with a drop rate of less than one percent.

And those so-called "lucky ones" can achieve miracles with just a single pull!

"If I increase my luck stat, won't it make me more effective at the system's lottery draw...?"

"System! Add 7 points of free attribute to Luck!"

[Ding! Attribute points allocated.]

Current luck: 19.

"Now that my luck stat has increased, I'm sure I'll get something this time!"

Kuroe rubbed his hands together, a spark of hope rekindling in his eyes.

He still has 25,000 Justice Points in his account, giving him plenty of confidence.

"System! Perform a premium lottery draw!"

[Ding! 1000 Justice Points deducted, Advanced Lottery Initiated...]

"The odds of winning are much higher, and the prizes are much better too..."

[Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the item: [A fountain pen that never runs out of ink] x1!]

……

That night, Kuroe Minoru struggled with his own impulses all night long.

The next morning.

Hei Jiangshi walked somewhat haggardly on the way to Zongwu University.

He couldn't sleep at all last night, his mind filled with thoughts of whether or not to put all 10 points of his remaining free attribute into luck.

Then I went all in on those 24000 Justice Points.

Fortunately, he controlled the impulse.

All I can say is that gambling is harmful...

Kuroe Minoru sighed softly.

Just as he was about to reach the gate of Zongwu University, he suddenly noticed some commotion ahead.

A group of boys gathered at the school gate, slowing down their pace and glancing back every now and then, their faces flushed with a suspicious blush.

Hei Jiangshi took a closer look.

Under the cherry blossom tree at the school gate stood a stunningly beautiful girl dressed as a blonde bombshell.

The girl wore a shortened school uniform skirt, and her fair and slender legs were particularly eye-catching.

She was slightly bent over, pouting, staring intently at the face of every boy who passed by the school gate.

Are they looking for someone?

"Kitagawa-san?"

Kuroe Minoru stepped closer and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

That's right, the one standing under the cherry blossom tree at the school gate as a "gatekeeper" is none other than Kitagawa Kaimu, whom he rescued from the fat PE teacher a few days ago.

Upon hearing someone call her name, Kitagawa Kaimu immediately turned her head.

When she saw Kuroe Minoru's handsome, flawless face, Hai Meng was clearly stunned for a moment, and a blush quickly rose on her fair cheeks.

"Um... may I ask who you are?"

Hai Meng blinked, looking at the incredibly handsome man in front of her with some confusion.

She swore that if there were such a handsome boy in school, she would definitely have some impression of him!

"..."

Heijiang was speechless.

But thinking about it, it's normal. After all, when he saved Hai Meng that day, his gene optimization fluid had only just started to take effect, and his appearance was at most "delicate".

"It's me, Minoru Kuroe."

Kuroe sighed and pointed helplessly to himself.

"Why?!"

Hai Meng's eyes widened suddenly, and she jumped back a small step like a startled cat. Then, in disbelief, she leaned closer, almost pressing her face against Kuroe Minoru's nose.

"Hey, Hei Jiang?! You must be kidding!"

Hai Meng's beautiful big eyes were filled with shock as her gaze swept back and forth across Kuroe Minoru's face.

"The outline does look somewhat similar... but... but you definitely didn't look like this that day!"

"Could it be...?"

Hai Meng seemed to suddenly remember something, her face contorted as if she were about to cry, and she said in a voice full of sympathy:

"Could it be that you were captured and modified by a monster organization?!"

"I haven't seen you for a while, it must be because you've been struggling to escape!"

Hai Meng's voice became increasingly choked with emotion as she spoke.

After she finished speaking, Haimeng hugged Kuroe Minoru tightly, buried her face in his chest, and burst into tears.

"Kuroe sacrificed herself to save everyone, it's so pitiful... Waaaaah..."

At this moment, passersby who were unaware of the situation walked by and, seeing Haimeng crying so sadly, all assumed that Kuroe had cheated on the girl.

They all glared angrily at Kuroe Minoru.
