I’m sorry, Menzi Dad. I spoke too loudly earlier.
But it’s not his fault, either.
How long has it been since he reincarnated? A pure cattle player in prison, with an Undying Totem as a newbie reward—who could resist that?
Good news: my life is like a galgame.
Bad news: my galgame has an Undying Totem.
Heh, Mianzi, I’ll forgive you this time, but don’t pull this kind of stunt again next time, okay?
[？]
Fang Wei ignored the rare emotional expression from the human-machine system.
Right now, he was impatient to test out the reward in his hand.
The equipment called [Dream Nail] reminded him of a certain big-nostriled knight.
Judging from the description, its ability was mind reading, and it even had levels.
So, this item can level up like a magical girl or a monster?
Then what’s with the Holy Communion reward? What kind of weird thing is that?
Fang Wei took it out from the [Hypnosis App] and found three cookie-shaped biscuits.
The moment he held them, he understood what made these three cookies special.
Holy Communion No.1: Increases adrenaline.
Whoa, a stimulant!
Holy Communion No.2: Calms emotions.
Holy Communion No.3: Happiness value up! Up!
Emma, does this thing also have another name called ice……
To avoid the Hat Uncle checking his household registry, Fang Wei quickly put the three cookies away again.
Of course, Mianzi’s rewards couldn’t be compared with the illegal stuff in reality.
In the end, these rewards were all products of magic.
Magic usage is weird and varied, and its effects are all kinds of strange.
Otherwise, why would Lord Black Owl make money by healing and hypnotizing magical girls? Just go sell… Wouldn’t the Undying Totem be better?
Feeling a bit guilty for no reason, Fang Wei finally set his gaze on the 500,000 yuan.
Before he was reborn, that is, ten years ago, he worked as a low-level employee in the [Kaxiu] organization for three years, from fifteen to eighteen, and only saved up a bit over 20,000.
And that was while delivering food and doing odd jobs on the side.
Looking at the six-digit number that could be deposited so easily, he suddenly had the urge to rush back and give Qi Qiangcao a big “mua” hug.
Magical girl, I adore you!
In his excitement, he didn’t forget to send a message to the big boss.
[Lao Chen, our family is rich now.]
Si Chen replied instantly.
[Damn, I knew you’d be a big shot! How much is the reward this time?]
[Five thousand yuan. I’ll take a small loss and give you three thousand.]
[……]
After a moment of silence, Si Chen sent a meme of Thunder Girl squeezing a pink magic claw, with the caption: “Baby, your death is here, meow.”
Although Lao Chen didn’t say it directly, as a good brother, Lord Black Owl still understood.
You brat, you took all the benefits from the [Hypnosis App] and skimmed off the top, didn’t you!
So what? It’s not like you were the one dating Thunder Girl.
Jokes aside, as a good brother, he still transferred 100,000 yuan to Si Chen.
After all, he’d need Si Chen’s help in the future for many things, and with 500,000 for a fallen value under 60%, if the treatment continued, he’d have to add several more zeros.
He couldn’t even imagine how much he’d make once he could identify someone as a magical girl and complete hypnosis.
This system is a human-machine, but it’s considerate, too.
To prevent currency depreciation, it could convert the amount into other currencies or even straight-up gold.
Hmm, 500,000.
One step closer to helping that child.
Having come into a small fortune, Fang Wei felt especially comfortable.
Coincidentally, Xia Yuanhua also sent him a message.
The big sister, with nothing better to do, wanted to check in on him.
He was also happy to share a bit of his life.
Daily chatting, playing dumb, acting pitiful, and asking for praise helped Xia Yuanhua find her own sense of existence.
So, there are a lot of people in this world who like to be cared for.
Often, it’s because they’re lacking that sense of existence inside.
Sometimes, making such people around you happier by acting a little silly isn’t a bad thing.
[Little Fang Wei, have you had dinner yet?]
Reminded by Xia Yuanhua, Fang Wei realized it was already late.
He’d been so caught up in the rewards that he’d unconsciously walked to the entrance of an alley, where the ground felt sticky—probably because of a water leak.
[Not yet. On my way back. Been a bit busy today, so I thought I’d just have some instant noodles.]
[That won’t do! Little Fang Wei is still growing! Big sister won’t allow you to eat such unhealthy stuff!]
She sent a stern little bear sticker.
[Big sister still has to work tonight, so send me your address, and I’ll order delivery for you!]
You could feel Xia Yuanhua’s enthusiasm from the exclamation marks.
After that last secret meeting, she’d become even more mature, gentle, and reliable in front of Fang Wei.
[Wouldn’t that trouble you too much, big sister?]
Little green tea Fang Wei played hard to get, but eventually sent an address near his home.
A screenshot of Xia Yuanhua’s food delivery followed right after.
M9 Wagyu. She thoughtfully cropped out the price to avoid making him overthink.
Mom……
Without another word, he quickened his pace.
What if Xia Yuanhua Mama’s wagyu got cold?
After chatting with Xia Yuanhua Mama for a bit more, acting like a clueless sweetie, Fang Wei, the big sister’s silly son, trotted home.
But the road here was really rough.
Even before winter, the air conditioner boxes at the alley’s entrance were rumbling, and the puddles made Fang Wei slow down to avoid slipping.
But right now, he was floating with happiness.
He turned off his phone, and even the sound of the air conditioner seemed especially pleasant.
Look at that tree, look at that utility pole, look at that moonlight……
—Wait, where’s the moonlight in this alley coming from?
Realizing something was wrong, Fang Wei immediately stopped.
He lifted his foot.
The “puddle” under his sole was sticky.
Not blood—if it was blood, he’d have noticed earlier.
It was a black, odorless liquid, close to blood.
The light in the distance wasn’t moonlight—it was a blade!
In an instant.
A crescent-shaped blade of light slashed through the darkness, sunk into the shadows, and then the darkness itself was torn apart, spraying black blood.
[Yingzhi Monster]
[Monster Level: Lv3]
[Fallen Value: 100%]
[Familiar: Peeking Shadow of Happiness]
[Familiar Level: Lv1]
[Fallen Value: 100%]
These entries were also recorded in the organization’s archives.
But according to the records, the former Yingzhi Monster had been destroyed by Xia Yuanhua five years ago at Lv4.
The one here must be a familiar that survived and evolved.
So you guys don’t just eat rice; you really can turn into monsters.
Only now did Fang Wei notice a mini black familiar, shaped like a sugar bean, screeching at him from a corner.
He thought it was something he could kick aside on the street, but his attention was drawn to a faint red entry flickering in the darkness.
That entry was swallowed by the Yingzhi Monster, but as the sound of tearing fabric echoed, a blade sliced through the darkness, and a pale blue figure appeared.
[Fallen Value: 73%]
Above her head, a blood-red entry glowed. She let out a fierce shout, leaping into the air with her blade.
Her short, sky-blue hair fell to her shoulders like scattered stardust, with a diamond-like shimmer at the ends.
A golden ear cuff sparkled on her right ear.
Beneath a pure white cloak, she wore a deep blue, night-like leather jacket with golden trim and a black tube top underneath, exposing her slender, snow-white waist.
Her lower half was clad in a deep blue skirt with golden chains and white lace at the hem, matched with high white stockings that revealed the tops of her thighs and deep blue Martin boots.
The style was simple and energetic, the Tang Dao under her white cloak slashing cleanly through the darkness.
Her body was small and quick, each swing sharp and decisive.
A magical girl with a style completely different from Qi Qiangcao.
Everyone knew there were only three magical girls in Nantong City.
Aside from the “newcomer” Qi Qiangcao and the slacker Xia Yuanhua, only one remained.
—The most powerful magical girl, who forced the battle-specialized Xia Yuanhua into early retirement within a year of becoming a magical girl, single-handedly destroyed the entire [Kaxiu] organization, and has guarded Nantong City alone for three years, so strong that even Si Chen couldn’t investigate her true identity!
The blade’s light flashed past Fang Wei’s pupils. Amidst the Yingzhi Monster’s agonized howls, a girl even smaller than Qi Qiangcao stood atop the shadow, her whole body stained with filthy blood.
Due to cognitive blocking magic, Fang Wei couldn’t see her face clearly, but he was sure.
She was grinning fiercely.
She raised her Tang Dao, and unlike Qi Qiangcao, didn’t finish the monster with a scattering of sakura petals, but slammed it down with brute force!
Once! Twice! Again!
Black blood splattered and completely enveloped her. She seemed to be venting endless rage, cruelly slaughtering the dying Yingzhi Monster.
The monster’s sorrowful cries echoed in his ears. Fang Wei quietly shuffled back a few steps, not daring to provoke this madwoman.
But he quickly remembered the [Dream Nail] he had just acquired, and after confirming with the system that using it wouldn’t leak magic, he activated it silently.
[Kill you kill you kill you kill you kill you kill you kill you kill you kill you……]
[Senior Xia, or Xiao Cao, both gave up on being magical girls… Senior Xia for life, Xiao Cao for so-called true love… Kill you kill you kill you kill you!!!]
[I’m the real magical girl, none of you are!!!]
The girl’s thoughts exploded with resentment, enough to shatter Fang Wei’s eardrums.
The worst part was that she even mentioned him in her heart……
He clenched the Undying Totem, coming quietly and leaving quietly, without a trace.
And at the edge of his vision, the magical girl stood tall upon the earth!
