Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Smiling words came from behind, but with a hint of reluctance and a faint cry. At that moment, Yu Huan seemed to feel that they had returned to their previous life. One day, his sister smiled and greeted him before going to school. At that time, she was sitting on the hospital bed and responded to him with a smile: Come back soon.

However, no one expected that that wave of hand was equivalent to a farewell in the previous life for the two of them, and they met again many years later!

His mood seemed to become melancholy in an instant because of this sudden feeling. He immediately felt a little guilty, wondering if his departure had caused his sister to panic about the past. Just as Yu Huan was about to turn around and comfort his sister before leaving, he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong.

"Wait, I'm just going out to do something. Not to mention that I'll be back soon, my main body is right here and can't leave. Switching consciousness is something I can do anytime, anywhere, so what's with your tone of voice that sounds like we're parting forever?!"

Merciless complaints almost instantly emanated from Yu Huan's mouth, and it seemed that these words immediately made Yu behind her stiffen all over...

"Tsk!"

Did you just tsk? Definitely tsk, didn't you?

The disappointed voice, as if a conspiracy had been exposed, made Yu Huan turn around and look at Yu behind him. However, what he saw was the cute and innocent little sister with a smile on her face:

"Sister, have a safe trip!"

He said this with a smile, then… decisively turned around, hugged his original body, and walked towards the bedroom. It was obvious that he didn't intend to give her a chance to accuse him… Wait, if you want to run, then run. Why are you hugging my original body? Put me down, hey, what are you doing to me?!

……

The small episode did not turn into a farewell drama like a separation of life and death. Even with the complaints in his heart reaching an extreme level, Yu Huan, who had completed his transformation with the Heart of the Rising Sun in his hand, disappeared from the spot in a flash of light. When he appeared again, he was already standing above a huge and dilapidated metal castle.

"This is the ruins where I'm staying?"

Looking at the huge lonely ruins standing in the desert below, Yu Huan immediately inquired about it and before he could say anything more, the next second, a dark light curtain suddenly unfolded in front of him, and the image of an expressionless girl with long black hair like a doll appeared in it instantly. It was none other than the virtual body of one of the current managers of Tianyu City: Satellite Zeya!

"Hello, City Lord!"

A polite greeting came from one of them, which immediately caught Yu Huan's attention and he nodded at the other party:

"Hey~~Zeya, you detected it right after it came out, you're pretty fast~~"

Because the Goddess Ruins were protected by the power of the Goddess, even Zeya's power could not penetrate it, and naturally could not locate Yu Huan. Now that Yu Huan had left the ruins, Zeya naturally located Yu Huan's position immediately. Listening to Yu Huan's praise, Zeya's calm face did not seem to show any joy. Facing Yu Huan, she also bowed respectfully in the light curtain before continuing:

"City Lord, you are going back to Tianyu City?"

"Yeah, I was just about to go back!"

"Do you need me to activate satellite positioning transmission for you?"

"Huh? Do you still have that ability? That would be great, it saves me from having to look for it myself!"

Although he was the mayor of Tianyu City, he had no idea of ​​the exact location of Tianyu City. This was obviously quite embarrassing for Yu Huan. After hearing what Ze Ya said, he nodded vigorously without thinking. Ze Ya also nodded and said:

"Then please stand still and don't move around. I'll activate satellite positioning for you in about ten seconds!"

"Okay~~"

The conversation ended, and the light curtain just closed. The next second, Yu Huan clearly felt an unknown wave above her head, covering her whole body. At the same time, a pulling force belonging to the space also emerged around her little by little. Yu Huan did not resist, but let the other party pull her and slowly rose to a higher sky.

"Hey~~"

Without any warning, she turned into a streak of light and disappeared in the next second, as if she had never existed. Only the lonely ruins of the ancient castle and the rolling sand that had remained unchanged for thousands of years were left behind.

Tianyu City·Outer City!

For Yu Huan, teleportation was just a blink of an eye, but perhaps because teleportation was prohibited in the inner city, when Yu Huan opened his eyes, he found that he was exactly in the direction of the entrance of Tianyu City.

"This is Tianyu City?!"

Instead of going in immediately, Yu Huan raised his head and looked at the huge city gate in front of him with eyes full of anticipation and joy. He couldn't help but exclaimed.

The huge city gate is designed in the style of an ancient gate, but unlike the ancient cities, the outer wall of Tianyu City is made of high-dimensional metal materials with ultra-high density. Even the huge metal door is actually made of ultra-high performance metal from Sang's world, which is even enough to withstand the full force of a master like Zishu.

Of course, it was not just because of the effect. What really excited Yu Huan was actually the huge city wall and the city gate in front of her at this moment. Because they were made of metal, they emitted a silvery glow and were as majestic and majestic as the city gate behind a certain schoolmate!

Looking down, one could see that right in front of the huge open city gate, there was an endless stream of mercenaries coming in and out. They all looked very busy, making the entire city gate look very lively.

24. Stroll

Yu Huan did not ask Zeya to send someone to pick her up immediately. Although Zeya seemed to have such an idea, perhaps because of what Tianling said, no one actually came to her until she entered Tianyu City. This also allowed Yu Huan to quietly watch this city that belonged to her like an ordinary person who had just entered the city.

The main buildings of Tianyu City are divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city. The inner city is undoubtedly the core of Tianyu City. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the real Tianyu City. As for the outer city... rather than being a part of Tianyu City, it is better to say that it is the "outer area" of Tianyu City.

The distribution of forces and entry and exit here are free. Although Tianyu City will establish its own mercenary guild here to issue tasks and trade various materials, it will not prohibit other shops and vendors opened around Tianyu City.

In addition, although there are patrolmen composed of Xumagia in the outer city who are responsible for patrolling and maintaining public order, in fact, that is all they do. Generally speaking, they will not intervene in the power struggles in the outer city of Tianyu City.

The outer city is like a platform for Tianyu City to negotiate with the outside world. Although Zeya will concentrate some major defense facilities here, most of them are in the "protective wall" between the outer city and the inner city. Basically, after discussions with Yu Yuan and others, the outer city was made into a semi-open environment to facilitate communication between Tianyu City and the outside world while maintaining its own mystery and confidentiality.

Similarly, it was under such circumstances that compared to the inner city's futuristic technological feel that was like a mechanical city, what Yu Huan saw when he arrived at the outer city was like a... bustling city!

The doors of the shops were wide open, and one could clearly see the scavengers coming and going... or mercenaries buying what they needed. Not only that, even on both sides of the huge road that was originally more than ten meters wide, there were now many mercenaries or scavengers squatting or sitting there, buying and selling some supplies collected from the ruins.

Of course, Yu Huan was not surprised by this situation because she had already known about it from Tian Ling and others. What really made her feel different was the current atmosphere in the outer city!

Because of the invasion of Silver, countless scavenger camps and even the Science and Technology City and the magic domain's external magic tower were swallowed up and attacked. Those who escaped from them were naturally in a very miserable state. In the end, they arrived at Tianyu City under the cover of the dispatched Xiu Magia.

Some of these people are familiar with Tianyu City and are even registered mercenaries, while others came here purely to escape. They heard that Tianyu City has the power to fight against the silver, so they seek refuge. Some of them also have money to seek cooperation.

Yes, cooperation... Although the destruction of the city and the camp is undoubtedly a huge loss for some people, especially the psychics and scavengers who have not had time to escape, it is undoubtedly a huge loss. However, for some major forces, because they possess space equipment, the necessary foundation has been preserved.

It is precisely because of these foundations that many forces are able to preserve their lives in this disaster-ridden ruin even if their cities are destroyed.

But this is obviously not enough. For those who once held high positions, just lingering on is obviously not the life they want. Therefore, in this case, they need to unite and find someone who can help them rebuild their power!

The alliance is certainly a very good choice, but because the current alliance is so powerful, these small forces understand very well that once they join the alliance, the interests they will have left will basically be just leftovers, and they will not get the big share at all. Therefore, after some thought, some people's eyes naturally fell on Tianyu City.

First of all, although Tianyu City was rumored to have the means to resist silver and they had witnessed it with their own eyes, it was ultimately just a small city that had just been established. Even if it had such technology, it probably did not have the resources needed for large-scale production, etc. This was undoubtedly a necessary bargaining chip for cooperation for those who had resources.

Secondly, Tianyu City was established too recently and lacks the corresponding foundation. It is said that those who built the city were just girls in their twenties or thirties. This undoubtedly made many people look down on Tianyu City. They felt that since the other party lacked foundation, they needed people like them with foundation to join in for mutual benefit!

With such different ideas in mind, some small forces around Tianyu City, or forces with different ideas and not wanting to join the alliance, came here one after another, and then after getting to know Tianyu City, they "settled" in the outer city.

Tianyu City naturally had no intention of cooperating with these people with their own motives. However, since the other party was willing to take root and do business in the outer city and "hold up the facade" for Tianyu City, Tianling and others would naturally not refuse. Therefore, although the outer city is still the territory of Tianyu City on the surface, it has long become a gathering place for various forces. But in fact, among these forces... there is really no one that is truly recognized by Tianyu City as a cooperative force!

Well, except for the Mercenary Guild!

Walking on the prosperous and crowded streets, one can see not only mercenaries, scavengers and vendors setting up stalls along the way, but also some old, weak and sick people from the scavenger camps or cities swallowed by silver. Most of them have lost their support and do not even have a place to live, so they can only crowd into this outer city.

Tianyu City has a simulated four-season system that can easily adjust the temperature difference of the four seasons in this ruined desert. Therefore, although these refugees in the outer city cannot get any life security, at least they will never die of illness, freezing to death, or heatstroke. As for the so-called food and drink issues... the mercenary union also has some small tasks issued to ordinary people, and these are enough to keep them warm and clothed!

As for those "beggars" who have no ambition and always want to get something for nothing... who cares?

With her exquisite face and pure white dress that made her look like a spotless angel, the moment Yu Huan stepped into the outer city of Tianyu City, she undoubtedly showed her appearance that was out of tune with the surroundings, and naturally attracted a lot of people's attention at the first moment.

However, because of the Heart of the Rising Sun in her hand and the outfit that was obviously the same "magic technology creation" as the magicians in the Demon Realm today, no one came to cause trouble along the way. At most, many people were secretly observing this little girl who came to Tianyu City alone.

Yu Huan didn't care too much about this. She just took a curious walk around the prosperity and noise of the outer city and obviously had no interest in it. After determining the direction, she decisively walked towards one direction of the street, which was the direction of the Mercenary Guild.

To be honest, the huge silver-white metal building is very conspicuous in the surrounding "ordinary environment" that is like a market. It feels like a crane standing out among chickens, and the lively scene inside the entrance where people come and go can be clearly seen through the automatic sensor door.

It's like two different worlds, separated only by a transparent glass that opens with a touch. However, you can still see that the market outside is also full of noise, as if it is a chaotic place without any rules. However, when you look through the door into the Mercenary Guild, it's as if you have instantly entered a high-end place full of elegance from a place without order.

Well, of course, saying that mercenaries are elegant is basically a joke, so this description is just a feeling of difference. In fact, when Yu Huan stepped into the sensor door and entered the mercenary union, his only impression was that it was a lot quieter here than outside, and the mercenaries here were also more qualified!

At least here, no mercenaries would argue directly with the administrator over the amount of traded materials, and no one would try to act like a spoiled brat or anything like that. After all, the Soldiers' Guild was the only industry in Tianyu City, and there were basically no people who dared to cause trouble here!

Well, basically no, and this is limited to those who are looking for trouble with Tianyu City or the Xumagia who serve Tianyu City. However, Yuhuan, as a newcomer... is obviously not in this list!

"Hey~ What a cute little sister! Are you role-playing with this outfit? Do you want us brothers to take you along?!"

A smiling voice suddenly sounded from beside Yu Huan when he was silently looking at the environment in front of him which looked like an enlarged hotel lobby. When he turned around, he saw several ruffian figures gathering towards Yu Huan.

The person who came here is not kind...

25. Lead the Way

The Mercenary Guild has its own rules, and the most important one is that fighting is not allowed within the Mercenary Guild!

Every registered mercenary will receive a solemn reminder of this rule from the mercenary union administrator, and many mercenaries who carry out missions here will obviously abide by it honestly.

But you have to know that there are certain species that will never be lacking in this world, and that is: the troublemakers who think they are different from others!

The same is true for the Mercenary Guild. It is composed of various people from different scavenger camps, technology cities and wizard towers from all over the world who gather in this small city to serve as mercenaries. Although it is due to various reasons, it is obvious that this is not enough for them to let go of a certain pride and reserve in their hearts, or... style?

At first glance, Yu Huan's outfit did look like a role-playing character in the Science and Technology City, and in fact, she was indeed role-playing. So when someone suddenly said that, to be honest, she felt a little bit of agreement. But it was obvious that how could someone who could be a mercenary really be such a 'superficial' person?

When seeing Yu Huan dressed up for the first time, perhaps if he were in some science and technology city, he would be mistaken for a role-playing character at first glance, especially with Yu Huan's beautiful face and young age, he would not give people any feeling of being a "strong man".

But this is Tianyu City. To put it bluntly, it is a city that is neither scientific nor magical, but a hodgepodge of cities. Therefore, it is not strange at all to encounter a magician here!

The creation called "magic technology" is a combination of ancient technology discovered in the ruins and the power of magic. This is definitely the most popular product in the magic world in recent years. At the same time, the profession of magician, which is different from the former magician, is gradually emerging in the industry and has become the focus of many people.

And Yu Huan's attire, appearing in such a place, naturally made people think she was just that kind of character at first glance. It was for this reason that she attracted a lot of attention after entering the city. Now, after entering the mercenary guild, people immediately came to her and issued a "recruitment"!

Of course, regarding this method of recruitment, Yu Huan actually just wanted to say... You are really lucky that you were not beaten to death!

Looking at the man standing in front of her at this moment, who looked like a second-generation rich kid with an arrogant smile on his face, his eyes were almost looking down at her, and at the same time, there was a certain unpleasant light flashing under his eyes. Although the words he opened seemed to want her to join, in fact, from the behavior of the seven or eight equally ruffian young men surrounding Yu Huan at this time, it can be seen... that the other party is planning to force her?

It's quite strange... In fact, since she came to this world, because she was relatively "young", Yu Huan seemed to have never been "picked on" because of her appearance. Therefore, when she suddenly faced this scene at this moment, to be honest, as a girl who was "blocked" for the first time, she was still quite confused.

However, immediately after being stunned, a strong sense of excitement arose in my heart.

Yes, it’s excitement, because…

'Finally here! The protagonist's unique way of showing off!'

Isn't that how it's always written in novels? The protagonist arrives somewhere and is immediately valued for her beauty. Then some wealthy, second-generation rich kid comes along and provokes them, threatening to do something to them. After the protagonist retorts and gives them a lesson, they flee with some pretentious line like "I'm XXX, wait for me, I won't let you go."

Then the second-generation rich man goes home to complain, and the family is furious and sends various masters to chase and intercept the protagonist. The protagonist faces them calmly and shows his identity in a pretentious manner or directly knocks them all down.

Well...both of them seem pretty cool, so which way of showing off should I choose?

In an instant, her imagination went through the roof. Although in reality, only a few seconds had passed, a systematic story had clearly formed in Yu Huan's mind. She then fell into a brief period of contemplation regarding the last two ways of showing off, and then, while she was waiting for her choice...

"Warning: Verbal harassment of women is prohibited in the Mercenary Guild. Please respect yourself!"

A calm voice suddenly sounded behind the man in front of Yu Huan. The girl's voice, which seemed to have no ups and downs, had a hint of electronic music that inexplicably gave people a feeling as if they were being electrocuted. It brought Yu Huan back to reality in an instant, and the man who had originally let his younger brothers surround Yu Huan showed an obviously unhappy look on his face.

"Tsk~~ It's coming so fast!"

They had just set their sights on a certain 'prey' and were taking action when they heard a warning. This obviously made the second-generation rich man very unhappy, but he did not dare to openly confront the voice behind him. Instead, he looked at Yu Huan with an inexplicable meaningful look, then turned around and left, and his little brother also left at the same time.

Wait, wait...just leaving? Just leaving now?!

Where's the arrogant second-generation rich kid you promised? Where's the harsh words you promised? Is it really okay for you to just follow the rules? Do you deserve the reputation of those second-generation rich kids who defied the world?!

Looking at the man who didn't even say a harsh word and didn't even say anything to tease her, Yu Huan was speechless at the moment when he looked at the other party's "cowardly" performance. He seemed to be speechless for a long time before he looked at the young lady who "saved" him.

Well, when I say "young lady", I should actually call her "girl". After all, judging from her picture, she seems to be only about sixteen or seventeen years old. Of course, this does not mean that Tianyu City employs child labor or something, absolutely not. It's just that the sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing in front of Yu Huan at this moment is not a human being!

Xiu Magiya, and it is a reception-type Xiu Magiya!

She was wearing a receptionist uniform that was a blend of pink and light blue, with her long light golden hair casually tied into a single ponytail at the back of her head. She looked capable yet a little playful, and the unchanging smile on her face gave people a very lively feeling.

After helping Yu Huan send away the mercenaries who wanted to cause trouble, this girl walked up to her under Yu Huan's scrutiny. Before Yu Huan could react, she bowed at a 90-degree angle to her.

"Nice to meet you, onee-sama!"

There seemed to be a hint of barely perceptible excitement in the polite tone, and the other party's sudden address seemed to make Yu Huan stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

"Zeya..."

Well, although she did not ask Zeya to send someone to pick her up immediately after entering the city in order to check the relationship with Tianyu City, and Tianling seemed to understand her thoughts and stopped Zeya's behavior, but you must know that all the Xumagia in Tianyu City are actually under the management of Zeya and connected to the network. Therefore, the information about Yuhuan's arrival was naturally transmitted to the minds of all Xumagia at the first time.

Although Zeya did not issue any relevant instructions, Yuhuan is the "creator", "mother", "master" and "sister" of all the Xumagia after all. Therefore, it is obvious that the Xumagia in the outer city are more or less looking forward to Yuhuan's arrival.

All these expectations undoubtedly turned into excitement after Yu Huan walked into the only industry belonging to Xumagia in the outer city... The moment they discovered Yu Huan's arrival, the entire mercenary union seemed to come alive and entered a high-profile work mode... Of course, Yu Huan didn't know this, but the other mercenaries could undoubtedly see it.

Hmm? How did you tell that?

This is not simple, it is because the reason why the Xumajia standing in front of Yu Huan at this moment can make the other party leave without even saying a harsh word and just give a warning is of course not only because she is Xumajia, but also because this Xumajia is one of the current general leaders of the entire mercenary union!

If you dare to ignore the other party's warning, then unless you don't want to be a mercenary in Tianyu City, who would dare to offend you?!

Of course, Yu Huan still didn't know all of the above, so when he saw that the other party recognized him at the first sight, Yu Huan scratched his head and said nothing more. He waved his hand casually and said:

"Yeah, nice to meet you. Hello... um, thank you for what I said just now!"

Anyway, the other party helped him out, although it also made him lose the opportunity to show off, but in fact it was not a big deal for Yu Huan. There would always be opportunities anyway, and it wouldn't take too long... I'll talk about this later. In short, since the Xumagia girl in front of him took the initiative to come to him, Yu Huan naturally wouldn't do anything like "going out incognito" and keep his identity secret.

"You're welcome. This is my duty!"

It must be said that the intelligence of a "manager" is quite complete. At least when talking to the other party, Yu Huan did not feel the slightest trace of "mechanical" in the other party's tone. Apart from being a little too respectful, Yu Huan thought about it and faced the girl in front of her with an expression of "if you have anything to say, please feel free to tell me." She also said without any politeness:

"Take me for a walk!"

"Yes!"
