Poor magical girls, work for me!

"45 gold coins! Third time."

"Congratulations, it's yours now. Debt: 45 gold coins."

Ryosuke Miyagi handed the [Anlao Bell] to Hoshina Momose. He thought that the most likely person to obtain this low-level artifact was Yukio Matsushima.

To my surprise, Momose Sena, who was the most indebted, asked for 45 gold coins.

This is on page four of "The Witcher's Hunting Manual". The client listed is: ① Momose Sena, followed by a special note.

Note: You are in debt for 45 gold coins (which can be used for battles with full pay).

At this moment, Momose Hoshina, holding the [Anlao Bell] in both hands, was pounding her heart, and her whole body was trembling from the bidding just now.

The impulse to overspend hasn't completely dissipated yet!

A tingling sensation throughout my body, the oppression of enormous debt...

I'm 45 gold coins in debt...

I obtained a magical artifact.

She took a deep breath and looked up at Ryosuke Miyagi.

"Ryosuke-kun! I...I'll pay you back! I'll take any mission!"

While having a lot of debt is not a burden, it is clear that the debt of 45 gold coins has made Ryosuke Miyagi her biggest debt collector.

A massive debt of 45 gold coins easily plunges a magical girl who has just received a windfall back into the ranks of even deeper debtors. She will never refuse what you say, she will definitely carry out your requests, and she will be 100% obedient to your ideas.

[Bonus: 50 ways to test the limits! (The more the other person owes you, the higher the upper limit of the "cost" they can accept.)]

Matsushima Yukio sighed and carefully put away the gold coin that belonged to her.

After all, witnessing a divine artifact being sold for 45 gold coins was quite a shock to her, and she even had a vague feeling that... Ryosuke's starting price was a bit too "generous".

If it weren't so expensive, she would have tried calling out 50 pieces...

Conflicting thoughts raced through Matsushima Yukio's mind. She felt she was going crazy. Let alone 50 coins, even if it were 30 or 20, when would she ever be able to pay back these coins?

……

At this moment, a prompt appeared in Ryosuke Miyagi's mind as he held "The Witcher's Hunting Manual".

It's rare to see a show without any vulgar jokes, but instead...

Standing before the abandoned shrine, the embers of a vanquished monster lie beneath your feet. The allure of power and wealth is intoxicating. But have you forgotten to check your Witcher's Handbook's loot? After all, slaying a mid-level monster yields more than just coins; the special psionic options contain methods to help Nanatsuji Kirine dispel the curse.

How to dispel the curse?

The voice in my head is finally starting to work!

Ryosuke Miyagi turned the fourth page of "The Witcher's Hunting Manual" in his hand again.

Turning to the second page, besides the line "Yueci Temple · Wild God - Resentful Ox God: Serving the Ugly Clown (Reward: 10 Gold Coins)", a new change indeed appeared below:

Enhancement Points: 11 points of psionic energy.

With 11 points of psionic energy, you've just reached the threshold to unlock the [Special] option.

Having amassed enough power, I've finally touched upon the deeper mysteries of the manual. "Special"—this isn't just a simple combat or survival skill; it's about the foundation of your path, about your "fighting style" in this open world. Will you become a lone sword, or... a whip-wielder commanding the masses?

Without hesitation, Ryosuke Miyagi placed his finger firmly on the word "special".

The psionic number jumped from 11 to only 1.

All the characters on the second page burned away, revealing a special selection.

[A Special Path – A Choice]

Psionic Energy Cost: 10 (Paid)

Please select your direction from the following road bases:

Option 1:

The Foundation of the Road: The First Step – The Leader

core:

"You are the flag, you are the direction. Through rigorous training and self-improvement, you will enhance your leadership and command qualities, significantly increasing your ability to build, unite, and lead a team in battle, thus creating a great Witcher squad."

effect:

"Passively improve the team members' collaborative efficiency and morale under your direct command."

"Unlocks mercenary squad-level tactical skill slots (requires additional psionic power)."

"Some of your personal strengths (such as brief bursts of power, unwavering will, etc.) can be shared with loyal teammates to a limited extent."

"Potential advancements: Teamwork, Combat Focus, Hero? Guardian? A true Witcher!"

Note: "We stand shoulder to shoulder, united in our hatred. Your presence will be their battle cry, this is a true fighting demon hunter squad!!"

Ryosuke Miyagi was stunned for a moment. The various enhancement effects and the special ability to activate 10 points of spiritual energy were indeed extraordinary!

He then looked at the second option.

Option two!

The Foundation of the Road: The First Step – The Big Boss

Core principle: "Capital as the skeleton, contracts as the skin. Deeply specialize your 'employment' system, tangibly translating your team members' growth into your profits. Hunting? No, no, no! Profit comes first, and exceptional capital is the leader!"

effect:

"Employee Boost: The full pay effect of the employee is increased by 300% (of course, you can play some tricks on the employees, but that's not what a good boss should do)."

"Special Training System: Allows users to consume resources (money, psionic energy, materials, artifacts, etc.) to provide one-on-one special training and improvement for their employees, and provides a 'Special Training Path' to accelerate their growth."

"Feedback Path: A small but continuous percentage (depending on the contract terms and affinity) of the power growth, skill acquisition, or special breakthroughs gained by the mercenaries during their employment will be fed back to you (psychic energy, attributes, and even knowledge fragments)."

"Possible promotion scenarios: Everyone for me, wealth-driven, unscrupulous businessman? Generous tycoon? Money is everything!"

Note: "Why fight directly? Invest in the strong, let them fight for you, and share in the fruits of their growth—that's the ultimate form of capital."

[Hint: Don't ask why the Witcher's Handbook doesn't contain any information about Witcher skills. The original title of the handbook was torn off by a disgusting Witcher, and now, covered in parchment, it has to be called the Witcher's Hunting Handbook.]

hiss……

Ryosuke Miyagi looked at the special option that cost 10 points of spiritual energy to unlock.

The first tier is like the initial career path; there's a growth tree afterward, with the second, third, and so on...

Leader, big boss...

Actually, when you see the core of the leader options...

Asceticism, training...

These four words have already declared that this cornerstone will never be selected.

They've all been reborn? Who's still suffering?

The term "Big Boss" sounds common, but the salary increases, special training programs, and the "giving back" aspect define its nature.

Let magical girls work for you, and enjoy the fruits of your labor!

The magical girl undergoes rigorous training to enhance her abilities and enjoy the process.

This truly proves the saying true.

"Keep working hard, and I'll get you a new wife this year."

What's the point of choosing?

Ryosuke Miyagi directly clicked on option two: "The Foundation of the Road - The First Step - The Big Boss".
