After leaving the white warehouse, Blazing Flame immediately flew toward A City Third University, planning to return and find Pandora to deal with the Purification Shard in her hands.
But when she got back to her dorm, Blazing Flame searched around and still couldn’t find that fluffy magical fairy.
Though slightly puzzled, Blazing Flame didn’t think much of it, assuming Pandora had gone out to play.
With that thought, Blazing Flame returned to her seat, took off the black bag hanging at her waist, and shifted her attention to the official welfare given to her.
“Brother Ren, what’s this?”
Xu Wenxing, who had just finished a game, leaned over curiously, watching Blazing Flame untie the string on the bag.
“No idea. The Monster Response Department gave it to me. I guess it’s some kind of honor certificate,” Blazing Flame replied casually.
“Official gift? Could it be you met Meteor?!” Hearing the keyword, Xu Wenxing’s imagination instantly ran wild, conjuring all sorts of possible scenes.
“I was indeed at the scene when I saw Meteor, but shouldn’t the focus be on the gift from the officials? Why are you so obsessed with that super beautiful girl?” Blazing Flame asked.
“Cough cough, what can I do? Meteor’s just that good-looking,” Xu Wenxing cleared his throat and admitted, “So, what’s her personality like? Not a violent big sister, is she? If she’s got a bad temper, I’ll have to painfully give up on trying to get close to her.”
“Don’t make me laugh. She doesn’t even know you exist, how do you expect to have a chance?” Blazing Flame rolled her eyes with a smile. “Meteor’s personality is pretty good, though her way of speaking is a little strange.”
“Strange way of speaking… could she have a speech habit?!” Xu Wenxing hurriedly pressed.
“Nope, not telling you. Go ask her yourself.” Shrugging at his sharp intuition, Blazing Flame refused to reveal the truth.
Such precious info could make money if posted on the forum; she wasn’t about to give it away for free.
“Please! Brother Ren, tell me!” Xu Wenxing pleaded. Seeing Blazing Flame unmoved, he gritted his teeth and made a bold offer, “I’ll treat you to two days of chicken hot pot! You pick whatever you want!”
“Deal! You can have Meteor’s way of speaking!”
Watching Xu Wenxing fall into her trap, Blazing Flame was delighted. She grabbed a pen beside her and scribbled a few bold characters on a blank sheet, then handed it to Xu Wenxing.
Xu Wenxing eagerly took the paper, focusing intently as he read the words aloud.
“Meteor refers to herself as ‘Miss’… oh! Such a cute way of speaking! It’s decided! I’m definitely getting into the Monster Response Department to be Meteor’s support staff.”
“Hope you follow through. Don’t just say that today and then spend tomorrow back in the dorm playing games, only glancing at your notes during the exam, before passing out from the questions,” Blazing Flame said as she pulled out everything from the black bag.
There wasn’t much—just a mobile phone, a bank card, and a……
……Note?
Blazing Flame picked up the note curiously and found it covered with neatly written words.
The handwriting was elegant and refined, obviously from someone who had practiced penmanship.
“Blazing Flame, congratulations on becoming A City’s third magical girl to date.”
“The bank card and phone are gifts from the Monster Response Department. Feel free to use them boldly.”
“The bank card’s password is 000013. They will deposit twenty thousand yuan monthly to cover your daily expenses. You should currently have sixty thousand yuan in this card as startup capital.”
“The phone was personally bought by Director Xu; it’s the latest model. Don’t worry, there’s no tracking device inside—Director Xu isn’t that foolish.”
“I’m guessing you have the ability to sense Shadow Beasts, so next time you go to kill one, please inform us through the special chat software on the phone so we can rush to the scene and assist.”
“You were supposed to have a free house as well, but they didn’t know which area you wanted, so they didn’t assign one. Once you report to the Monster Response Department, you can negotiate that with them yourself.”
“Looking forward to our next meeting, and to the day when all Shadow Beasts are purified.”
“————Sapphire.”
Reading the note, Blazing Flame nodded slightly and picked up the bank card to examine it.
It was a purple-gold card, the number elegantly stylish—more impressive than any weird license plate she’d ever seen.
She checked the balance on her phone’s app and confirmed there were indeed sixty thousand yuan.
“Brother Ren, they only gave you a bank card and a phone? What about the Combat Medal? Without a medal, what kind of deal is that?” Xu Wenxing egged her on from the side.
Blazing Flame ignored him, only picking up her phone and waving it in front of him without saying a word.
The next moment, Xu Wenxing looked at the numbers on the phone as if hypnotized, eyes glazed over, body swaying as if about to collapse.
Even after Blazing Flame took the phone back, Xu Wenxing continued staring unblinkingly at it on the table, as if his soul had been drawn out.
“Can you have some dignity? What’s so great about some worthless numbers?” Seeing Xu Wenxing’s dazed look, Blazing Flame couldn’t help but scold him with a laugh.
“Bro-Brother Ren! I’ve never seen so much money in my life! Just let me look one more time! One glance, I promise I won’t look again!”
After being scolded, Xu Wenxing became excited and stretched out his hand to Blazing Flame, begging as if pleading for some contraband, his expression sincere like he’d seen something forbidden.
Blazing Flame twitched the corner of her mouth, looking at the spineless guy before her, not knowing what to say.
Xu Wenxing, seeing Blazing Flame ignoring him, lowered his head silently, stroking his chin as he began thinking about something dangerous.
After a few seconds, Xu Wenxing suddenly looked up, sizing Blazing Flame up and down, eyes darkening slightly as he spoke with pain.
“Brother Ren, if you like me, I could reluctantly—”
“Get lost!”
Without even listening, Blazing Flame immediately rejected Xu Wenxing’s request.
This guy was already looking at her like that—didn’t she know what he was thinking?
“Brother Ren, can’t you be a little kinder? We’re roommates, after all. How can you be so heartless?”
“I’m not interested in you. If you want to find a rich woman, go put up notices on power poles off-campus and wait for one to come to you. Don’t disgust me here,” Blazing Flame replied.
“Ah, that’s so sad. Didn’t expect Brother Ren to be so cold and heartless, refusing to help a roommate who has no money to eat,” Xu Wenxing wiped away nonexistent tears from the corner of his eye, barely suppressing a smile.
“Shut up, do you think the guy who treated me to morning tea at the start of school would be broke? Not a chance!”
Blazing Flame gently elbowed Xu Wenxing.
