For example, the Youth League Secretary, Lin Qiunan.
She quickly stood up from her seat by the window in the first row on the left, exclaiming with delight, "Everyone, I've acquired an S-Rank Talent, Divine Hint! Divine Hint allows me to perceive item or player information hints and sense surrounding resources or danger information!"
Gu Pingsheng was taken aback.
Hints... perception? Isn't this the kind of talent only protagonists in survival novels get?
Two S-Ranks on one bus?
Such luck!
Lin Qiunan was a gentle and intellectual beauty, also the most attractive in the class.
She stood about 168 cm tall, with long, glossy black hair reaching her waist, delicate and beautiful features, and a seductive tear mole at the corner of her eye.
More importantly, her figure was incredibly alluring, with an E-cup bust above her slender waist and a perfectly rounded, perky bottom.
Not to mention, Lin Qiunan was currently wearing a black cheongsam...
And it wasn't just Lin Qiunan.
Other girls had also acquired impressive talents.
Before Gu Pingsheng could announce his own talent, the Study Commissioner, Li Ruoyao, called out, "Everyone, my talent is also S-Rank, Super Constitution. It's described as having an initial constitution ten times that of an ordinary person, and if there's a chance to enhance constitution attributes later, it will also be tenfold..."
"Constitution, what is that?"
"It seems to be on the Attribute Panel. Quickly, everyone, check the top left corner for a game panel. Click it, and you'll see your own Attribute Panel. Besides the Attribute Panel, there are two other functions."
Gu Pingsheng didn't have time to be happy for Li Ruoyao.
He quickly opened the game panel in the top left corner.
[Game Panel]
[Attribute Panel] [Chat Channel] [Trading Market] [Bus Panel] [Personal Inventory]
Unlike the other female classmates, Gu Pingsheng's game panel had two additional features: the Trading Market and the Bus Panel.
Gu Pingsheng curiously clicked on the Chat Channel first.
[Chat Channel] (Region 6, Blue Star has a total of 100,000 regions, each region has 100,000 people, with 2,000-3,000 buses.)
[Where is this place? Wasn't I just at work? Why have I and my colleagues ended up on a bus?]
[Are you stupid? Didn't that guy who called himself Heavenly Dao just say it's a survival game for everyone? Didn't you listen to the rules at all?]
[Indeed, this kind of thing isn't something anyone can do; it's a global apocalypse. Our entire platoon of 35 people ended up on a bus. Unfortunately, all our gear and firearms are gone. I guess they were taken by the game's Heavenly Dao.]
[Everyone, stay alive. With so many people looking out for each other, all familiar faces, it shouldn't be hard to survive.]
[That's easy to say, but sometimes you have to be wary of those around you.]
[Why did I choose civil engineering as my major? It's all rough guys, and the bus smells.]
[My major is finance, lots of girls, and the bus smells nice.]
Gu Pingsheng also noticed that because the bus was cramped and simple, many girls were huddled together, making the bus smell like a girls' dormitory.
However, during class, Gu Pingsheng was used to being surrounded by girls, so this scent was quite familiar.
Hmm, it was rather pleasant.
Then, he clicked on the Attribute Panel again.
Gu Pingsheng remembered that as a driver, he seemed to have a constitution boost too?
[Attribute Panel]
[Player: Gu Pingsheng (Bus Driver)
Region: Region 6.
Bus Number: 15200.
Talent: S-Rank Talent Daily Sign-In.
Health: 100% (Injuries, thirst, poisoning, and burning states will continuously decrease health. When health drops to 0%, death occurs.)
Constitution: 24 (The initial constitution of an average adult male is 10 points, representing physical strength, attack, and defense, etc.) (Already received a 100% boost, future constitution enhancements will also receive a boost.)
Agility: 13 (The initial agility of an average adult male is 10 points.)
Stamina: 11/11 (The initial stamina of an average adult male is 10 points.)
Mental Power: 100/100 (... initial mental power is 100) (Terrifying scares will deduct mental power. When mental power drops by 50 points, confusion ensues. Below 20 points leads to madness, and at 0, brain death occurs.)
Skills: None.
Title: None.
Status: Good.]
Looking at the Attribute Panel, it was quite complex, with health, constitution, agility, stamina, and mental power.
Due to regular exercise, Gu Pingsheng's constitution was pretty good, at 12 points, and after the boost, it became 24 points.
As for agility, it was likely higher than average due to frequent campus runs, making it a decent start.
Then, Gu Pingsheng addressed everyone, "My talent is S-Rank Daily Sign-In, allowing me to sign in daily for resource rewards. Does anyone else have a talent?"
Immediately, the Life Commissioner, Luo Xiaoxue, raised her hand and shouted, "My talent is A-Rank Healing Art. If anyone gets injured, I can heal them."
Although she raised her hand, it wasn't even as high as Gu Pingsheng's head...
Gu Pingsheng and the other female classmates' eyes lit up.
This was indeed a good talent.
So far, there were already three S-Rank talents and one A-Rank talent.
Then, after a quick tally,
Two more girls had talents: the Arts and Sports Commissioner, Zhang Keke, acquired a B-Rank Talent, Gigantification, allowing her to become a giant about 3 meters tall.
The Science and Innovation Commissioner, Chen Tong'er, acquired a B-Rank Talent, Puppet Creation, enabling her to create and control puppets for activities.
However, Chen Tonger's puppet creation required materials, and she could only create one puppet at most, with the puppet's constitution matching her own.
In total, three S-Ranks, one A-Rank, and two B-Ranks.
With a one in a thousand chance of acquiring a talent, even in a class of 42, getting one talent was already quite lucky.
Now, six people suddenly had talents, and three of them were S-Rank. This luck was unparalleled!
After the tally, interestingly, all the girls with talents were class cadres. It was unclear if this was a coincidence or something else.
Or perhaps, those in higher positions within organizations, like department heads or deputy heads in companies, or platoon leaders or company commanders in the military, were more likely to acquire talents?
Li Ruoyao shouted, "Let's do our best, everyone. Although many of us have talents, it's still a harsh survival world, and we can't let our guard down, understood?"
"Don't worry, Study Commissioner, we're not stupid."
Zhang Keke stood up and patted Li Ruoyao on the shoulder, her carefree demeanor showing friendliness.
But to be honest.
Zhang Keke was a bit envious of Li Ruoyao's talent.
Why did she, as the Arts and Sports Commissioner, end up with a talent lower than Li Ruoyao's?
If only she could have acquired the S-Rank Talent Super Constitution too.
It wasn't just Zhang Keke who envied Li Ruoyao.
Other girls were more or less envious of those with talents, especially those they disliked.
Whispers spread below.
After all, in a class mostly made up of girls, small cliques were somewhat prevalent.
"Time to set off, everyone."
Gu Pingsheng didn't want to linger any longer, sitting in the driver's seat, he glanced at the pedals below, seeing two, indicating it was an automatic.
Automatic was easier to drive than manual.
Before starting the engine, Gu Pingsheng pressed the brake with his right foot to prevent the bus from rolling.
After starting the engine, the bus began to shake, and because it was so worn out, Gu Pingsheng feared it might stall right then.
But fortunately, when he pressed the accelerator with his right foot, the bus suddenly started, heading forward.
Outside the windows on both sides was a vast expanse of yellow sand, and ahead was a straight road...
Perhaps because the speed wasn't fast, the pushback sensation from behind wasn't strong.
[Bus 15200 has started. Monsters will begin pursuing the bus in 24 hours.]
Hearing this, Gu Pingsheng quickly calculated...
The bus was now starting, and if it ran for 14 hours a day, that would be 280 kilometers.
The monsters, on the other hand, would run 240 kilometers.
In a day, they could widen the gap by 40 kilometers.
Initially, they could steadily distance themselves from the monsters, but of course, they couldn't stop for too long.
And who knew if sitting for so long would affect his prostate.
"The bus is starting, everyone, please sit tight."
Gu Pingsheng reminded them.
Li Ruoyao obediently returned to the front passenger seat.
And so, the bus wobbled along for about two hours.
The scenery outside the windows remained a sea of yellow sand, and besides that... there was nothing.
To be honest, after just two hours of driving, Gu Pingsheng was already feeling a bit fatigued, especially with the straight road and no other buses in sight, making him a bit sleepy.
At that moment, a prompt sounded in his ear.
[Driver Gu Pingsheng, your next stop is named Peace Convenience Store.]
"Peace Convenience Store?"
Gu Pingsheng didn't think it was just a regular convenience store.
This was supposedly a survival world, and there might be danger.
He quickly pressed the brake and shifted to neutral.
"Pingsheng, what's wrong?"
Li Ruoyao looked at Gu Pingsheng with some concern.
"The first bus stop is called Peace Convenience Store. I need to ask Lin Qiunan for information."
"Yes, Qiunan said she could use Divine Hint to get information about the stop."
Gu Pingsheng quickly turned to Lin Qiunan to inquire about the upcoming stop's information.
Lin Qiunan gave Gu Pingsheng an OK gesture, quickly closed her eyes, and processed the information.
The other girls looked at Lin Qiunan with anticipation.
Soon, Lin Qiunan opened her eyes, a hint of fear in them.
"What's wrong, Qiunan?"
Li Ruoyao asked with concern.
