Chapter 192 New Card Pool This is the bond between me and Aqiang! ...

Perfect Ending's customer service always responds very quickly.

[Player inquiry detected. Retrieving data...]

[Test results: The Stand ability "Infinite Refill" has been inherited.]

Ability Description: This Stand is essentially a "fate-interference" ability, manifesting itself as unlimited rewinding of time (commonly known as save reload/SL) and temporary manipulation of Luck. Throughout the storyline of "Egypt Tour Group," players have used this ability multiple times to rewrite predetermined fates and achieve a successful Happy Ending.

[Note: Each use of the "Change Fate" function consumes the player's base Luck. Due to excessive Luck depletion in previous games, the player's current Luck value is D (actual value is negative). The system has automatically switched "Infinite Refill" to a passive, permanent mode—this means that the save function remains, but the additional Luck consumption for active fate changes is no longer required.]

Chaomu: “…………?”

Her memory gradually revived as the system explained, and her memories came back:... No wonder the stand ability in her impression seemed to have little presence and was useless... It turned out that her stand at the time was SL Dafa!

However, back then, SL had virtually no restrictions, allowing players to save and load saves at any time. It also came with a built-in lucky roll, and the world line results seemed to be based on luck. So why did her luck score always end up being D in Trash Can King? Was it because her luck had already been depleted?

And now…

"And now you're putting this thing's functionality in a monthly subscription and selling it to me for 30 yuan a month... Isn't your company outrageous!" She typed furiously, berating the customer service representative. "Since saving and loading saves anytime, anywhere is something I already have, give me my monthly subscription back, you idiot!"

Customer service responded promptly: "After inheriting your data, your relevant abilities have automatically taken effect. You will no longer need to recharge your monthly membership card to enjoy these privileges. To compensate for your previous losses, the system has refunded your 30 yuan recharge as a voucher. Please check your inventory or the store. The previously limited-time pet slot has also been permanently unlocked."

This reward...is pretty good.

Little Raccoon pinched her chin, feeling she'd made a profit. While the 30 yuan couldn't be directly refunded to her original account, she'd already claimed the initial deposit bonus, so a cash voucher would be fine... If all the monthly membership benefits she'd been eyeing were free, she wouldn't have to renew next month.

"What about the cheating card pool?" She picked up the photo frame again, her eyes scanning the NPCs. "You guys aren't going to do a limited-time card pool with five cards released at once for the collaboration, are you? Adding Ichi's skills, that's even six pools..."

Even if Jotaro's Stand ability is visibly strong, even if it's a human rights card, even if it has a sentimental bonus... as long as the bastard planner dares to create some kind of krypton card pool to cheat, she, Chao Mu, would jump from here and die outside, and would never spend a penny on this kind of limited-time card pool with no guarantee!

Customer service is diligent: [Please rest assured, this game does not have a time-limited card pool. The unlocking method and card draw probability of the relevant NPC trash cans are the same as all previous card pools, and the card draw period is permanent.]

That's about right.

Chaomu was finally satisfied.

At the same time, outside the study door.

The Doberman, who symbolically picked up a piece of frozen steak from the kitchen to show that he had explored the area, and the Samoyed, who was holding a flower, were pushing each other in the corridor, heading towards the study door.

"Little Chaomu has been in the study for a long time..." Yan'er poked his head in, "What is she doing?"

"Who knows?" The Doberman said vaguely, "Maybe he's looking for something weird again."

Two large dogs squeezed into the study and saw the little raccoon holding a photo frame in a daze, with its round golden eyes staring at the person in the photo and its tail hanging down, motionless.

Matsuda was a little uncomfortable for a moment because the noisy kid suddenly became so quiet.

He casually put the frozen steak on the ground, clung to the edge of the table, and looked up: "What are you looking at again, woof...woof?"

When he saw the person in the frame, the Doberman's eyes widened a little. Isn't that the kid? Judging by her age, she should still be in high school. And those guys next to her who seem to be close to her...especially the black-haired one? Why is he putting his hand on her head...

Yan Er Wang also saw the photo, and the flowers in his mouth dropped to the ground with a clatter. Rather than the black-haired high school boy who looked more like he was competing with Chao Mu, the first thing he noticed was the pink-haired boy standing nearby, smiling at her.

The way the other person looked at Xiao Chaomu... that look...

...He himself had often looked at her like this before, so he could see it at a glance.

The background of the photo is full of exotic architecture, clearly not in Japan. The girl's face is so vivid, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, with puffed cheeks, glaring at the tall boy who is messing with her hair. Although her expression is indignant, her eyes are still smiling.

That was a time that neither Hagiwara Kenji nor Matsuda Jinpei had ever set foot in.

Although her high school life seems to have been rough, with her being bullied quite a bit, Chaomu clearly harbors many secrets beyond her resume, and she also has numerous ties with her peers...

The other three foreigners in strange costumes in the photo were ignored by them all.

...What kind of memories were those? She was staring blankly at the photo frame for so long, her expression so gentle and joyful...

Chaomu, who was happy about getting a pet slot for free and thinking about buying some gift packs in the mall: Hehehe.

She was still immersed in happiness when she felt something wet and warm nudging her body. She lowered her head, a little confused, and saw the fluffy Samoyed nudging her with its muzzle, its eyes wet with tears. "Woof?"

There was a flower next to his paw, probably a trophy he'd found on the balcony. The Doberman next to him silently brought a packaged frozen steak over, looking up at her expressionlessly. "So this is your... friend's house, woof? Did you say hello to him before coming in, woof?"

I was worried that she was rummaging around in a stranger's house, but it turned out to be someone she knew... Tsk, my worries were in vain.

Kenji Wang and Matsuda Wang disagreed.

The system's prompt wasn't very detailed, and Chaomu didn't fully grasp it for a moment. All he knew was that they both looked unhappy, but he wasn't quite sure why. "No, I didn't know he was the one living next door to me until I came in... We haven't seen each other for a long time."

Not to mention the house next door, even the house she lives in now was bought by Jotaro - but should it belong to her now? She didn't know if Jotaro knew she was moving in... She guessed he probably didn't know yet, because the plot hadn't reached that point yet, and there were probably restrictions before.

"...But it's really nice." She stared at the photo for a moment longer, a smile slipping across her face without even realizing it. "Even though I still feel like there's some kind of scam...but it's really nice to see the sequel and see each other again."

...Has Xiao Chaomu ever shown such a gentle expression before? Although her face was still covered with raccoon fur and her expression was actually hard to tell, Hagiwara Kenji felt that her tone had never been so gentle, even with a hint of melancholy, clearly filled with memories.

What had she experienced with the man in the photo? Was it worse than when she was with him?

His ears drooped sourly, and his tail drooped. The Doberman next to him snorted coldly and muttered, "I worried about you for nothing."

Kenji Wang and Matsuda Wang disagreed.

The system notification sounded again, and this time, Chaomu finally sensed something unusual. She blinked, looked down at the dejected white marshmallow on her left, then at the black car seat on her right, which exuded a sense of discontent. Then, belatedly, she realized—were they... jealous?

That's her fault. It seems like she shouldn't be praising the NPCs from the previous game in front of the sequel characters...even though she didn't seem to say anything. Would she get jealous just looking at photos and reminiscing? Why didn't I realize Kohagi and Komatsu were so petty before?

Despite her thoughts, she put the photo frame down, jumped off the table, and brought the two little dogs to her side, one on each side, and kept them close. "Although Ah Qiang and Ah Hua are also very nice people, Xiao Hao and Xiao Song are definitely more important to me now! Memories are just memories because they are in the past. Now it's you who are by my side!"

This is absolutely true.

After all, those people in the photo haven't given her an SSR yet, and these two large dogs in front of her have just given her all their SSR and SR skills... Sorry, black-haired and pink-haired, if you want to blame someone, just blame the previous game for not having this mechanism that guarantees a card will be dropped when the favorability is maxed out.

But this doesn't affect it. How can players be so utilitarian and only care about SSR and strength? We are all her wings! She is the Thousand Winged Archangel Raccoon (?)

The Samoyed and Doberman with their heads hugged: "…………"

They glanced at each other secretly and saw the same distrust in each other's eyes: I always feel that Xiao Chaomu/this guy was a bit too skilled when he said that just now... Is she very good at telling this kind of nonsense?

But I have to say that what she said makes sense, at least for Kenji Hagiwara.

So what if they met when they were young? Wouldn't they eventually separate when things were unstable? He had already met Xiao Chaomu when he was at his best, and now he was by her side, the one who knew her best... He really shouldn't care too much about her past... Besides, it was just a group photo, it didn't mean anything.

Thinking of this, the big white dog licked the little raccoon's cheek docilely and smiled sweetly: "Good wang, wang believes that little Chaomu likes wang the most."

The Doberman next to her was a little disgusted, but couldn't help but take advantage of the fact that he was now a dog and also moved closer to nudge her: "...tsk...I barely believe you."

This should be considered a coaxing, right? The player's rollover crisis is over.

Chaomu was very satisfied with the result. She stretched out her paw, patted the two furry dog ​​heads, one on each side, and announced in a loud voice, "Then let's continue the exploration—next to the most important area. Let's go!"

Wang Matsuda and Wang Kenji actually didn't want to explore the bedroom of a strange man.

But they were clearly no match for the raccoon in terms of strength or persuasiveness, so they could only cautiously follow her into the master bedroom: "...Woof..."

The bedroom door didn't lock.

Unlike the intellectual atmosphere of the study which was filled with books, the furnishings in the master bedroom were extremely simple. Chaomu always had the strange illusion that he probably didn't sleep at home often - after all, when she sometimes passed by and glanced at him, it seemed that Jotaro Kujo, who was studying for a master's degree, was always writing papers, writing papers, and writing papers.

This was a big part of the reason why she didn't recognize him as the black-haired, busty cool guy from before... After all, in her impression, the high school boy Jotaro seemed to be a delinquent, but who knew that in the sequel he turned out to be a top student and became so intellectual... Are there any other things in common besides his chest muscles?

But these things are not important to her now. The little raccoon looked left and right, and his eyes accurately locked on the "treasure" in the corner. It was a dark gray metal trash can with a lid, which seemed to be integrated with the style of the whole room.

She rushed over impatiently and opened the lid with one hand: "Let me see what good things Jotaro prepared..."

[You have unlocked the special scene item: Jotaro's trash can]

[The trash can in Jotaro's house: It's filled with an invincible aura. It feels like if you touch it, you'll be beaten to ten levels by Ora.]

Even the fearless Asami felt a phantom pain when she saw the introduction. While she'd seen characters with exceptional physical prowess or physical strength (like Shiro, for example) in "The Trash Can King," the impact in "Egypt Tour Group" was incredibly well-executed, and Jotaro's beatings were downright brutal...

...But it shouldn't be that necessary. Jotaro even gave her a house, so how could he not let her touch the trash can?

She glanced down at the card pool contents and couldn't help but sigh, "I knew the idiot planner was going to do something weird... Why did he even separate Star Platinum and Smash Varudo?"

In the card pool, the only SSR skill book is "The World", and Star Platinum is waiting to be drawn as an SSR substitute. In addition, there are some skills such as "How to Eat a Free Meal Without Being Caught" and "One Hundred Questions on Ocean Knowledge".

Forget it. With her luck, even if her favorability is very high, the probability of drawing an SSR card in one go is not high... Chaomu knew with his toes that he would probably draw an SR skill book or experience card first.

Let's see if there are any tasks similar to Hagiwara-kun's this time that can be completed. It's a bit too unrealistic to expect to get the time stop directly by drawing a card... and if there are free draws every day, she can check in diligently, maybe she can get it one day?

She rubbed her paws together and solemnly dipped the tip of her claw into the trash can: Player's turn! Draw a card!

A golden light—no, a platinum-colored light even brighter than gold, seemingly capable of tearing through space—shot up from the trash can! The entire screen was engulfed in this light, accompanied by a deep and powerful "hum" that seemed to freeze time.

[Congratulations! Hit the target! You have obtained the SSR skill - The world!]

[Skill Description: Smash Varudo! After activation, it can pause time for 5 seconds, and the cooldown period is 24 hours.]

Chaomu: “…………”

Chaomu: “!!!!!!!”

The author has something to say: Kogure before rummaging through the trash can: Now I still love Kohagi and Komatsu the most.

Kogure after rummaging through the trash can: Now is now, just now was just now.
