The villain daughter did all kinds of things

"Don't worry, she won't do it this time."

When mentioning a certain second young lady, Ark's tone was somewhat helpless:

"A few days ago, her older sister came to our academy for a short stay to learn about magic and even gave your class a lesson. You should remember that, right?"

"Ah."

Jenny nodded.

"Just remember that."

Yak shrugged:

"During that time, Luvia, accompanied by her sister, had already explored the Trial Maze many times and taken all the opportunities she could, completely disregarding whether those opportunities were useful to her... So she has lost interest in the Trial Maze and definitely won't participate."

"……what?"

Janet opened her mouth wide, and after a long while, she said helplessly:

"All those opportunities have been snatched up by Luvirua, what are we going to do?"

“Out with the old, in with the new… Those opportunities were opportunities for you, but for my cousin, they were just toys. She quickly sent over more things to decorate the trial maze as rewards, and my grandfathers didn’t say anything.”

Yak smiled slightly as he said this:

"Speaking of which... my cousin is very generous. Since she redistributed the rewards to the Trial Maze, no other students have gone in to try it... so if you're lucky, you might actually find something good inside."

Chapter 305 Mischievous little imp, are you really that curious about me?

While Janet was busy preparing for the maze trials for her father's election, Beth was also working hard to play the role of a cute idol hero so that her father could win the election. Every day, she helped others and maintained order in her designated territory.

Aside from providing Beth with initial training and creating a set of equipment for her, Emery, as agreed, did not interfere much in Beth's daily life and handed Beth over to Rei to take care of.

Of course, since Beth's equipment is always connected to Suzuran, Emerald knows everything about Beth's situation. [Mercury the Thousand Faces] will upload all of Beth's daily life logs and battle logs.

Through her observation of Beth, Emerald quickly understood how Rei maintained Beth's heroic daily life... In fact, it was similar to Emerald's method: throwing money around.

As an idol hero, Beth is mainly responsible for the territory of Jinlai District in Sphingart. Jinlai District is a relatively small district in the entire Sphingart, but it has more than 20 permanent residents, and its area is less than one-third of Locke City.

If someone really needs help and someone is causing trouble, that would be great. Let Beth help the person in need, or knock out the troublemaker and throw them in the trash.

However, as the capital of the Allen Federation, Sphinx is generally quite safe. If you cause trouble here, you might run into a big shot who's in a bad mood and get killed easily. Small-time thugs are extremely rare.

At the same time, Sphinx is full of mages. Don't be fooled by the fact that those white-collar workers in suits or pencil skirts all look so refined and gentle, and when they pretend to be delicate, they can't even open a bottle cap. In reality, many of them are amazing people who can park a car with one hand.

Even if someone possesses magic, such as an awakened mage or an apprentice mage, they rarely need help in daily life. They can fall from a building, dust themselves off, and get back up; if they're hit by a magic-powered vehicle, only the vehicle is damaged—they can easily carry tons of cargo. Under normal circumstances, they really don't need any assistance.

As a contracted idol-type hero, Beth is obligated to help others. Otherwise, if she just flies around the streets all day doing nothing, wouldn't she become a street urchin? So even if it means deliberately creating difficulties, it's essential to ensure that Beth can find joy in helping others.

Lian's Drunken Red Mansion can be described as earning tens of thousands of gold coins a day. She is very rich and hired a large group of people to cooperate with Beth in her acting.

Whenever Beth has free time, these people will deliberately go out into the streets and create difficulties for themselves, then cry out in tears, "Help me, Miss Mercury."

Or he could disguise himself as a delinquent and randomly pick a girl on the street to harass her or a hapless guy to steal from, so that Beth could legitimately beat them up and then receive thanks from the victims.

The method was cliché, but it worked very well. Coupled with the relentless promotion of Beth by various newspapers and other media outlets under Myson Entertainment, Beth's hero persona was established smoothly.

Lian only spent some money on Beth without doing anything herself, which disappointed Amelie. She had wanted to take this opportunity to learn more about Lian's secrets.

So Amelie began a new plan: she intended to deliberately give Beth a trial, to make her face an invincible enemy.

As agreed, when Beth encounters an insurmountable enemy, Rei will be responsible for dealing with it secretly, which may allow Rei to expose more of her secrets.

However, this kind of thing requires some preparation. At the very least, the formidable enemy arranged for Beth cannot be seen to be related to Emerald, and a suitable opportunity must be chosen.

However, just as Emery was making her preparations in full swing, Beth encountered a real unexpected event in her daily hero life, which led to Rei's intervention... probably.

When Emery reviewed the battle log afterwards, she found no evidence that Rei had actually made a move, but she believed that Rei must have acted secretly.

Given Beth's current combat strength, she should have been unable to solve the problem at that time, yet she managed to stop the incident without any real danger, which is quite suspicious.

That was an incident of a magical pet going berserk.

Just like many wealthy people on Earth in Amelie's previous life liked to keep lions and sharks, many rich and powerful mages in the Allen Federation also liked to keep a powerful monster at home as a way of showing off.

A powerful mage kept a monster in his home in the Jinlai District. It was a mutated earth-attribute magical turtle that he fed with a lot of materials.

That day, the powerful mage had exhausted himself after encountering two very hot and daring bunny girls at a bar the night before. He was still a bit dazed when he woke up in the morning and was somewhat negligent when checking the sealing barrier of the captive magic turtle.

So, shortly after the mage left home for work, the magical turtle escaped from the sealing barrier and ran onto the streets of Jinlai District.

This wouldn't have been a big deal; all we had to do was immediately notify the mage and have him come back and lock his pet up again.

Although this demonic turtle is a demon, it was raised by humans from a young age, and under normal circumstances, it is quite docile and will not harm or destroy things indiscriminately.

If a human suddenly sees a monster the size of a car on the street, they will be afraid, and in doing so, they are more likely to attack.

A female office worker, who was about to leave for work, had just stepped out of her apartment and was about to take a sip of the hot milk in her paper cup when she suddenly saw a turtle the size of a magic car staring at her.

She screamed on the spot, dropping the paper cup in her hand in fright, spilling hot milk all over herself, from her white shirt all the way down to her flesh-colored pantyhose.

Then, in a fit of rage, the female office worker pulled out a magic wand about the length of a dagger from her bag. It was a magical artifact she used for self-defense, and she fired three lightning bolts at the magic turtle.

However, the lightning bolts failed to repel the demon turtle; instead, they enraged it from its docile state.

The enraged turtle began rampaging through the streets, much like a novice female driver who couldn't distinguish between the accelerator and brake and had lost her way. In just a few breaths, it created a mess, but thankfully no one was injured.

Since most of the passersby on their way to work were mages, including the female office worker who was initially frightened, they managed to escape in time, and the damage was mainly to their property.

Then, Miss Mercury, who had noticed the commotion, arrived and saw that a monster was causing destruction. After saying a few lines, she began to attack the demon turtle with the aim of killing it.

The magic turtle lacks attack power and speed, cannot fly, and lacks anti-air capabilities, making it completely helpless against the flying shells.

However, the turtle's defense was also incredibly strong. No matter what form Beth transformed her Thousand-Faced Mercury into to attack, she could not break through the turtle's shell.

This is an absolute numerical difference that cannot be made up for by skill. If the skill multiplier cannot break through the defense, then no matter what kind of skill it is, it is just flashy and useless.

But even if she can't break through their defenses, she has to keep attacking, because Beth is playing the role of a hero now. She can't just abandon the turtles that are destroying the streets, can she? Otherwise, the persona she's worked so hard to build will collapse.

However, even Suzuran, who controlled Beth in battle, was unaware at first that this magical turtle was a mutated magical turtle that had been fed and raised, and it also had a special ability.

That is to accumulate the energy of the attack and then unleash it all at once, enough to cause a small earthquake affecting an area of ​​several kilometers.

In a place like Sphinx, a small earthquake might not kill a few people, but it could certainly collapse some buildings and leave a mess everywhere.

This is the area Beth is responsible for protecting. If the earthquake really happens, Beth's reputation will definitely be affected, and she will at least be given a title like incompetent or weak.

Therefore, they couldn't come out during the earthquake. At that time, the situation was urgent, and apart from Rei, who was responsible for taking care of Beth and had been secretly watching her, the other powerful people probably didn't have time to make a move.

So Lian apparently made a move.

The reason it is described as "suspected" is that there is no trace of Rei's actions in the battle log, Rei herself did not appear at the scene, and there were no strange spells or energy fluctuations.

But the tortoise's seemingly indestructible defense suddenly became as fragile as cardboard, easily pierced by the mercury spear that was originally only capable of scratching, hitting its heart and killing it.

It wasn't until the turtle died that Beth's combat support module detected the nearly full energy inside the turtle and calculated the consequences of the energy burst.

It was quite thrilling, but thankfully, it ended without any real danger.

Emerald watched the few seconds of the projected video of Beth killing the demon turtle repeatedly, but she still couldn't figure out the method Rei used, or even confirm whether Rei had secretly intervened.

"She is indeed very mysterious and powerful."

After turning off the projector, Emery closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and leaned her body completely against the skirt of the Sulina chair.

When Ark recounted his feelings when facing Rei, Emerald thought it was because Ark was too weak or Rei had some special ability that made Ark feel that Rei was absolutely invincible.

However, as her strength continued to improve, Emerald found Rei increasingly mysterious. Despite having mastered techniques like the concept of magic, which were only possessed by top-tier experts, she couldn't even make a definitive judgment about whether Rei had actually made a move.

Could it be that she really is...?

A very bold guess popped into her head again, leaving Amelie feeling quite helpless.

If that's really the case, then many of Emerald's plans will have to be revised, and she herself will become the butt of the joke.

...Let's try one more time, this time with a bit more intensity.

After some thought, Emerald decided to stick to the plan and arrange a powerful enemy for Beth to test Rei's strength.

The timing is right.

Two days later, a women's clothing brand in Sphingart was going to launch its new products on a luxury cruise ship outside the port of Sphingart. The cruise ship would not go too far out to sea, but would be anchored within 2000 meters of the port.

Since it was a new product launch for a women's clothing brand, and a high-end luxury brand at that, the invited guests were mostly ladies and young women, and there were no real powerhouses among them, except for Lian.

The circle of third-stage powerhouses in the Allen Federation is only so big, with very few young women, and almost all of them know Emerald. Emerald had already informed them in advance not to go to the press conference that day to join the fun.

Miss Holy Mercury also landed her first commercial deal. A women's clothing brand invited her to endorse a white lace dress from their new product line. The style was a perfect fit, so Blue Star Films agreed.

This was a task assigned by the company, and Beth had no right to refuse.

The time, place, and event of the danger were arranged so easily that Amelie began to plot against that formidable enemy.

She and those around her certainly cannot take action themselves; it would be best to let the monsters do it.

Amelie didn't know if Rean had seen through her identity as a necromancer, but to be on the safe side, she didn't plan to send out her own undead creatures, nor were the old lich's undead creatures suitable.

So after some thought, Emerald contacted her mermaid commander friend and asked Machira to hunt down a few ancient dragon-level monsters in the deep sea and send them to her.

When Machira entered the Emerald Villa very discreetly, she startled Shasha, who was taking a nap in Emerald's fish tank. Shasha thought Machira had come to kill her again.

However, Machira showed no hostility towards Shasha. Her mind had been thoroughly corrected by Julia's seven punches, and she now genuinely considered the entire Emerald family as good friends, treating Shasha with great friendliness, which left Shasha with a complicated expression.

Amelie, with a rather wicked sense of humor, had Shasha entertain Machira on her behalf, showing her around Locke City. Meanwhile, she herself took the ancient dragon-level monster corpses that Machira had brought and went to old man Landon's place.

Old Man Langdon was quite interested in piecing together the corpses of various powerful monsters to create an even stronger monster.

Langdon was primarily responsible for designing from a biotechnological perspective, while Emery was responsible for using flesh and bone modification techniques to bring Langdon's designs to life.

With the two working together, a strangely shaped and terrifying mutated ocean monster was born in just half a night.

It has the body of a megalodon, the spear-like snout of a swordfish, crab claws that can easily crush small boats like fries, a sea serpent tail that can whip houses away when swung, and sucker tentacles like an octopus that can tie up magical girls and make them groan.

In short, he's a Frankenstein's monster that makes people lose their sanity just by looking at him, making him a perfect big boss for a cute girl idol hero to face.

Emerald has already created the monster she named Hychimera, but it cannot be put into use immediately.

The current Hychimera is a product of Emerald's necromancy, and it can only move because of Emerald's magic. If Rei is truly as powerful as Emerald suspects, she could definitely determine through magic that the Hychimera was created by Emerald, thus negating the purpose of the test.

So after creating Hychimera, Emerald withdrew all her power from its body, turning Hychimera back into a corpse.

Marcy often accompanied Emerald to the Drunken Red Chamber as her personal maid, and her true nature was probably already known to Lian, so the Flame of Life could not be used to give the Hychimera life force.

Fortunately, old man Langdon is still around; his research and development talent remains as reliable as ever.

Emery only gave a rough description of the zombie virus from the Resident Evil series on her previous life's planet Earth, and old man Langdon understood immediately.

Relying on the big data and powerful computing capabilities of the Lily of the Valley, the old man Langdon only needed one night and half a day to create something with similar effects.

Langdon couldn't create the zombie virus, but he did create a worm that could parasitize the brain of a living being and take control of the body.

Finally, a synthetically produced imitation magic crystal is placed inside the Hychimera's body as a source of magic power, allowing the Hychimera to move like a living mutated monster.

If there are any shortcomings, it's that the development of those insects was too rushed, and old man Langdon didn't have any means to control them. The Hychimeras controlled by the insects would only attack everything around them indiscriminately.

Fortunately, with Emerald's current strength, Hychimera couldn't cause any trouble and was easily sealed away, waiting for the right time to be released.

Coincidentally, the day before the women's clothing brand's launch event, Janet from the Lohid Magic Academy launched a counterattack, using the labyrinth trial as an opportunity.

The effect is quite obvious. What parent wouldn't want their child to be more outstanding?

Many powerful figures who originally did not want to participate in this election ultimately could not resist their children's requests and agreed to use their resources to support Justin in exchange for their children being able to enter the trial maze of the Lohid Magic Academy ahead of time.

This caused Justin's approval rating to surge by several points almost overnight, putting him on par with Guevara and making him the strongest contender for the next president.

The fact that Janet was able to manage the Trial Labyrinth as Ark's assistant undoubtedly means that Ark values ​​Janet highly. Even if Justin ultimately loses the election, simply investing in Janet wouldn't be a loss.

Thinking this way, many Justin supporters who had hesitated because of the high-profile debut of Holy Mercury became more determined to continue betting.

As a result, the question of who will become the next president has become unpredictable again, making many onlookers find it very interesting, and some even say that this is the most entertaining election in the United States in recent decades.

Even the number of tourists coming out of the international portal in Locke City has increased, and many wealthy and idle people from the Eastern countries have also come to watch the fun.

The vast majority of them were, of course, nobles from the Kingdom of Shangying, but Emerald still managed to spot several nobles from the Tianyun Empire who were disguised as Shangying people. They were basically using Fujiwara Momiji's connections to sneak out for fun.

Amelie didn't disturb them, but secretly preserved the evidence.

When the whole world unites to conquer the Dao Ancestor in the future, this evidence will come in handy—closing the country to foreign trade is a rule set by the Dao Ancestor. You've already secretly gone abroad to play, yet you still support the Dao Ancestor? Come join the coalition!

Meanwhile, the women's clothing brand's new product launch was also held as scheduled. They launched more than 20 new products, including outerwear, linings, skirts, underwear and socks, as well as gorgeous dresses for social occasions and decisive outfits for dates.

Every new product is showcased by models, and Beth was one of them. At the launch event, she flew around in the white lace dress she was endorsing, interacting with the invited guests and having people take photos with her.

The sounds of singing, dancing, and laughter filled the luxurious cruise ship at night. The new product launch was a great success, and it was sure to be an exciting, sleepless night.

If there were no Hychimera.
