That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Light Novel, Chapter 259

Chapter 259

Really, it seems like his half-assed sense of justice and responsibility is strong .

“Hmm, hmm, you would want to know, wouldn’t you? Actually, I haven’t got around to thinking about it . ”

While still using his weird expression, Laplace glanced at me for help .

You idiot! You didn’t think about it?!

Or rather, it’s troublesome if you come asking me for help in this situation… I guess I have no choice .

If I use too much of my abilities, they will find out . And stopping the time is out of the question as Laplace can’t move in the suspended world .

However, at this distance, it is possible to use ‘thought transmission’ for ultra-fast thought conversation .

If the processing speed is accelerated by 10,000 times, 1 second would be equal to 166 minutes .

While thinking of it as a bother, I used ‘thought acceleration’ on Laplace and his crew .

◇◇◇

The moment I used the skill .

“Good day, Rimuru-sama! How did you like my acting?”

“It has been a while, Rimuru-sama! Is it okay to leave the rest of this to us as well?”

They greeted me, as if they were waiting for it .

It’s also fine to leave it to them but I do have the time so I decided to listen to their plan .

“Oi, Laplace . You didn’t think any further than this, have you?”

“No, no, I did think a bit, for what it matters, you know? But it’s just that I haven’t thought of what punishment to give if they score below a certain point or even what point that would be since I don’t know the students . To think that red-hair would come specifically asking for the minimum number…”

It seems like Laplace was planning to act after seeing the results .

It is true that he can’t carelessly give them a number since he doesn’t know how much the students might be able score but……

“At times like that, it’s fine if you just go ‘that~is~a~s-e-c-r-e-t~!’, you idiot!”

“Ahh! There was that move . ”

With an ‘oops’ expression on his face, Laplace scratched his head .

He looks like he’s really aware and shrewd and what not but there are times like these where he’s just stupid .

“Well, there’s no point in saying that this late so let’s decide on the number . ”

I brought back the topic from derailment .

To review, let’s first confirm how this bracelet’s scoring method works .

Alert movement: 1-10 points

Negotiation actions: 1-10 points

Monster subjugation: Below E – 1 point

D – 2 to 5 points

C – 6 to 30 points

B – 31 to 100 points

A – 500 points

Above A – 10,000 points~

Rescue movement: 1-30 points

Obstruction movement: -1 to -100 points *Does not go below 0

Dangerous action: Points reset

Murder: Points fixed to zero

I think that’s about how it was set up more or less .

The ‘actions’ and ‘movement’ are areas where the individual is awarded points but in ‘subjugation’, the whole party shares the points .

However, I will make it so that they all have at least 1 point

It’s a safety measure ’cause otherwise it would be too severe .

Of course, I wouldn’t be giving them a point even if they form a party and defeat a monster below E rank .

It goes without saying but if one subjugates a monster by themselves, they will get all the points .

However, there’s danger in going down that road .

For example, although there are monsters above A rank in this monster, it would be impossible for them to hunt those down .

Against one A rank monster, there needs to be 5 B+ ranked adventurers for it to be equal .

This is the current lowest rank of a floor boss in the labyrinth but even top parties with 6 adventurers have a hard time dealing with it .

To defeat these monsters safely, at least double the amount of members is needed .

It would be great if the students who aren’t even B rank yet can hunt a C rank monster in a group .

If I were to be realistic, it would be hard for these students to even get a 100 points in a week……

“I see, so they would only go upto a 100 points even if they try really hard . ”

Laplace said with a thoughtful expression after listening to my explanation .

For the students, even if they hunted a D rank goblin, they would only get 1 point each . They won’t reach a 100 points even if they beat 14 goblins a day .

To begin with, this isn’t a monster land or anything so monsters won’t be coming out one after another like in the labyrinth .

With the Calamity type monster on the top, a pyramid shape was taking form .

We have already confirmed one ‘hazard monster’ in each 4 sides of the island .

Only these 5 are over rank A .

Besides that, it seems like there are a few several other unique monsters of A rank .

With these monsters in the lead, they were increasing their numbers and races .

But even then, there are like a few dozen B rank monsters and a few hundred C rank monsters .

And there are barely a few thousand D rank monsters .

If 100 students were to hunt 100 D rank monsters each, they would need 10,000 D rank monsters .

But such numbers of monsters do not exist in this island and so they have no choice but to go for dangerous C rank monsters .

Or rather, if they went to do that seriously then it would disrupt the ecosystem of the island and I doubt the king of this island would permit it .

So logically, that’s a no-go .

The fact that the number of monsters is less means that the danger is also less .

And that is why we chose this island-because we can confirm their safety . It would not be dangerous unless they challenged the semi-demon-lord by themselves .

As for me, I want them to learn how to cooperate with others here .

The ones who are arrogant, the ones who are insensitive and even the ones who don’t believe in themselves .

Really, it seems like his half-assed sense of justice and responsibility is strong .
