Miss Witch, even if we're poor, we can't sell ourselves!

Miya placed her phone face down next to her pillow and took several deep breaths.

The peach branches outside the window were gently tapped against the glass by the wind, and she took the opportunity to shift her attention to the outside.

The sky after the snow was a grayish-blue, and sunlight filtered through the clouds, casting dappled patterns of light on the windowsill.

She buried her head in the pillow and rolled around for a bit, then picked up her phone again, deciding to scroll through something else to clear her head.

After watching several videos of cute girls dancing, MikuFans finally stopped recommending fan-made mashups of loli mothers to her homepage.

She casually refreshed the page, and a video with the official certification logo of Qianjing Group jumped to the top of the homepage.

The cover is a high-tech promotional poster with a dark blue virtual space background. A silver-white head-mounted device floats in the center, and the surface of the device has fine magical patterns that are glowing. The title reads:

[The official launch of ShiHai Interconnect technology and the upcoming release of the brand-new virtual reality world "Starfall" are now open for pre-registration.]

Qianjing Group.

Miya's gaze lingered on the name for a moment.

She recalled the family banquet on the top floor of Yunxi Pavilion; it turned out that Luyue had been busy with this recently.

When you open the video, the opening scene is a visually stunning CG sequence. The camera swoops down from the depths of a vast nebula and finally lands above a city floating in the void.

The city's architecture blends ancient style with magic; witches fly by on broomsticks among the carved railings and pavilions, and countless glowing lanternfish flow down from the night sky.

This scene reminded Miya of a scene from a manga called "Himeko-sama: Princess Kaguya" from her previous life.

Her eyes grew brighter the more she looked.

Isn't this just the VR open-world game from my previous life? No, no, it's many orders of magnitude better than those VR devices from my previous life that were still limited to visual and auditory experiences. This directly sends consciousness into the game.

She had always dreamed of playing this kind of fully immersive virtual reality game, but she never expected that it would actually be developed in this world, and that it would use the unique consciousness sea technology of the witch world.

Without hesitation, she clicked on the reservation link below the video and was redirected to Qianjing Group's official reservation page to successfully make a reservation.

Satisfied, Miya returned to the homepage, ready to watch a few more cute little witch dance videos to completely wash away the embarrassment from the loli mother video. Of course, Miya wouldn't admit that she actually liked watching these kinds of videos. She had only scrolled down a few times when another push notification popped up.

A police warrant has garnered over 200,000 likes.

Miya's first reaction was that it was strange. When did MikuFans' homepage recommendation algorithm start pushing social news to the top?

Upon closer inspection, she saw that the wanted poster had already garnered over three million views and tens of thousands of comments.

Upon opening the video, the screen first displays an official announcement stating that a core member of a transcontinental criminal organization is suspected of involvement in multiple major cases.

Then a portrait of the suspect popped up on the screen.

The little witch in the portrait has a red side ponytail, dark gray eyes with a faint bluish-black tinge under her eyes, and a slightly downturned mouth, making her look listless.

The bounty amount below the portrait is marked in bold red: fifty million Loren.

He robbed the young master?! Fifty million?!

Miya had never seen such a large sum of money in her life.

She earns 5,000 Loren a month working at Nightingale's Nest. Without commission, she would have to work for millions of years to earn 50 million Loren.

The comment section below has exploded.

[Fifty million have come; is this a wanted poster for humans or a legendary dragon?]

The last time I saw this amount was when a legendary wand was auctioned.

Can anyone explain what this person did to deserve a 50 million dollar charge?

Miya zoomed in on the portrait to full screen and then carefully examined every detail.

They look very similar, extremely similar.

The image that immediately flashed into her mind was the moment when Qiu Luo opened her eyes and looked at her on the sofa, with tear stains still visible at the corners of her eyes and a fragile look on her face, soaked in alcohol and memories.

But how could that be?

A wanted criminal with a 50 million Loren bounty on his head went to a bar in the middle of the night, ordered a glass of vodka, drank it alone until his eyes were red, fell asleep on the table, and finally snuggled in her arms like a stray cat soaked in the rain.

This doesn't seem like something a wanted criminal would do.

She stared at the portrait for a while, repeatedly telling herself that there were many people who looked alike, and besides, in the witch world, a red side ponytail wasn't a particularly rare hairstyle. Then she continued to scroll through the video and found that the police had attached a few brief messages.

The suspect was last seen in the central area of ​​Bella Vita. The public is advised to be on the lookout and contact the local police station if they spot any similar targets.

Mi Ye turned off the video, placed her phone next to her pillow, closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and decided to stop thinking about it.

They dawdled like that for several hours.

As evening approached, the sky outside the window darkened again, and fine snowflakes began to fall once more. The snow on the peach branches grew thicker and thicker, and the wooden plaques hanging on them swayed gently in the wind.

Mi Ye ordered takeout around four o'clock. She sat at her desk and finished eating. Just as she finished tidying up the empty lunchbox, her phone vibrated several times. It was a notification sent to the freshmen group. Someone had posted a list of freshmen grouped by student ID number on the bulletin board.

[Attention all new students: Tonight at 7 PM, all new students will undergo an entrance physical examination at the First Gymnasium. Please proceed to the designated area according to your student ID number.]

The physical examination includes a routine physical check and a verification of magical attributes. Please be sure to bring your student ID. You can have it done on an empty stomach or half an hour after a meal. See the attachment for the group list and corresponding time slots.

The attached image is a list arranged by student ID number. Her student ID number is in the lower middle of the list, she is in group C, the corresponding time is from 8:00 PM to 8:30 PM, and the location is the first gymnasium next to the second canteen.

She had seen Xiaoye and Qianse's student ID numbers when she helped them move their luggage before. She checked the list to confirm that Qianse and Xiaoye were both in Group B, and the time was from 7:30 to 8:00, which was half an hour different from her Group C.

Asase peeked out from behind the bed curtains, her deep gray eyes looking in Miya's direction.

"Are you also in Group B? Shall we go together?"

"I'm in Group C, and it doesn't start until 8 o'clock."

Miya showed her her phone screen, and Asase squinted at it.

"Then we'll go first. The first gymnasium is right next to the second cafeteria. It's easy to find, about a ten-minute walk."

Then she climbed down the bed ladder, deftly put on her school uniform jacket, and hung the katana at her waist.

Bringing weapons to campus is permitted, as long as you have registered.

Xiao Ye also got out of bed, and the two quickly got ready and went out, saying goodbye to Mi Ye.
