Why are the magical girls in your area male?

A cold, emotionless voice came from her lips:

"It's still a while before dawn, sleep a little longer. Kaoru will bring you your school uniform, and I'll take you to school later."

After saying that, she left the bedroom, gently closing the door behind her.

"..."

The room fell silent.

Yuan Qing remained frozen in place, still holding out his hand, his face filled with bewilderment, wondering, "Who am I? Where am I? What did I do?"

He looked down at his empty hands, then at the windowsill where Shiori Shiomi had been standing.

Suddenly, he realized something very important.

Wait a minute......

When I opened my eyes, the young president was already sitting on the windowsill.

I've taken over her bedroom, and she doesn't seem to have gone anywhere.

Could she have... stayed here all night?

Well......

It seems quite possible.

But why did she do that?

Is it out of concern for the "members" from the "president"?

Or perhaps she has ulterior motives she doesn't want me to see?

What an incomprehensible guy...

"drop."

Just as Yuan Qing was thinking this, his phone, which was on the bedside table, suddenly beeped with a message notification.

That's my own phone.

He walked over, picked up his phone, and wondered who would send him a message in the middle of the night.

Upon unlocking the screen, I was surprised to find that the sender was Shiori Shiomi.

The message was brief, consisting of only one sentence:

"I agree."

Uh.

Did she agree?

What did I agree to? It couldn't be my own clumsy "proposal" just now, could it?

Yuan Qing believed he knew this little devil student council president fairly well.

Like just now, she can easily make dirty jokes when you tease her, but it's impossible for her to agree to something as important as a lifelong commitment to marriage as if she were agreeing to "have bread for breakfast this morning."

Therefore, the only possible interpretation of this statement is...

Invitation?

When I was at the observatory, I invited her to go stargazing together.

Oh yes, yes!

This is it, this is the mouth and teeth!

She agreed! I never expected her to agree!

I initially thought the invitation was a bit like sexual harassment, but I never expected it would actually work out!

Yuan Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately replied, "Received."

That little girl on the observatory, looking for the fake starry sky with a sense of loneliness, must have finally begun to yearn for real starlight, right?

Yuan Qing was secretly delighted and couldn't help but glance at the sentence on his phone screen again.

"I agree."

Concise and powerful.

Just like her.

He could almost picture her face still expressionless when she sent the message, but perhaps there was a subtle, almost imperceptible flicker in her eyes.

He smiled and shook his head, then put his phone back on the bedside table.

Meanwhile, outside the bedroom door.

The corridor was dimly lit.

Shiori Shiomi did not leave immediately.

She leaned against the wall, her petite body slightly curled up in the shadows where the light didn't reach.

The phone screen in my left hand was still lit up, displaying the message "I agree" that I had just sent, and Yuan Qing's reply "Received".

She raised her right hand, gazing at the almost non-existent mark on her ring finger.

Then, her always tightly pursed lips curved upwards very slightly.

The curvature is very small.

It's so small it looks like only two pixels.

Yuan Qing lay in bed, finding himself wide awake.

This night seemed far too long.

Whether it's the battle in the Tower of Illusion or the various interactions with Shiori Shiomi.

He walked to the window, pulled back the curtains a little, and looked out into the still thick darkness.

The darkness before dawn is always the deepest.

But dawn will break soon.

Since I can't sleep, I might as well check out the results of last night's battle.

After arguing with the president for so long, I even forgot to accept the reward.

Yuan Qing opened the system page, and a series of "unread messages" immediately popped up one after another like advertising pop-ups:

[You have defeated: Goblin King!]

[Experience gained: 20 million]

[Gain bonus experience for killing enemies above your level: 20]

[Gold Coins Earned: 20000]

[Gained Souls: 3000]

[Obtain "Thunder Lord's Ring (Artifact)"]

[Level increased to 30!]

[Unlock New Mission: Clear the 5th Floor of the Tower of Delusion]

[Quest Rewards: 5000 Gold, 5000 Experience, Abyss Party Invitation*1]

After browsing through this pile of messages, Yuan Qing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This Goblin King was a level 35 red-name boss. With the bonus for killing a boss above its level, he gained a whopping 40 experience points, which allowed him to level up 9 times and reach level 30.

Clearly, he has become stronger.

Upon reaching level 30, his attributes experienced a significant and substantial increase compared to before.

Based on the original calculation that each level up increases attribute points by 5, even with the addition of freely distributable attribute points, the maximum attribute points that can be gained by leveling up 9 times is only 90.

But my base attributes have increased by almost five times compared to before!

This means that his current attributes are even stronger than when he was fully buffed and challenged the Goblin King!

Based on the level data provided by the system, Yuan Qing speculates that level 29 to 30 is a major turning point.

If we refer to the ranking system for awakened beings like magical girls, it's equivalent to moving from rank C to rank B.

No wonder there's such a huge difference in combat abilities between magical girls of different levels.

For example, the cardinal is grade A, while the water kite is grade B.

Although they are only one level apart, the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

These insights help explain why Red Sparrow was able to instantly kill a Rock Dragon that was only about 10 levels lower than her.

It feels just like those cultivators in fantasy novels, where each realm is a chasm.

That's why we have realms like Senior, Fellow Daoist, and Ant...

Alright, now I can go back and make fun of my little sister for only getting a C grade.

Hey.

The Goblin King gave him 2 gold coins, and with the 1000 from the system quest, Yuan Qing's savings instantly increased to 21000.

It's time to splurge a little more.

He opened the store, flipped through a few pages, and decided to prioritize filling the gaps in his equipment.

He now has weapons, jewelry, and armor, but his lower body clothing and shoes are still missing.

Among level 30 equipment, the rare ones are too expensive, while the excellent ones are beneath him, leaving him in a dilemma.

Should I prioritize buying one high-quality rare item, or two slightly lower-quality fine items?

After a moment's thought, Yuan Qing decided to settle for second best and picked two rare items from the level 25 equipment.

Unlike personal attributes, there is no obvious gap in the difference between equipment.

Therefore, even if the levels differ by 5, as long as the quality is the same, the resulting attribute bonuses will not differ too much.

However, there will be some differences in the special effects unique to the equipment.

It's obvious that the higher the level of the equipment, the better its special effects.

However, the gap wasn't so large as to be unacceptable. The special effects provided by equipment that was only a few levels higher were merely icing on the cake.

Yuan Qing chose two individual pieces from the "Heavenly Veil Beast" set.

The Sky Veil lower body provides 20 points of Strength and Spirit, while the boots provide 20 points of Reaction and Insight, as well as 5% movement speed.

Wearing the full Sky Veil set will grant players an additional 30 points to all their attributes.

If you only have two pieces, the set bonus will only provide 10 points.

After putting on her bottoms and shoes, Yuan Qing turned her attention to jewelry.

The Goblin King dropped a level 30 artifact for himself: "Thunder Lord's Ring".

While its base stats aren't much higher than the Bone Ring, its passive effect is incredibly enviable:

Item Name: Thunderlord's Ring

【Level: 30】

[Quality: Artifact]

[Attributes: Spirit +30, MP +300]

[Thunderlord's Decree: When equipped, upon entering combat, strike the highest-level target in the vicinity with lightning every 5 seconds, dealing 300 + (Spirit * 5 + Level * 10) magic damage]

Lightning strikes have a paralyzing effect; the lower the enemy's level/resistance, the stronger the effect, and vice versa.

[Important Magic: Thunder Lord's Domain]

[Thunder Lord's Domain: Consumes 300 + (level * 10) MP to deploy a lightning domain. Within 10 seconds, a large-scale lightning attack will randomly descend on the area. Cooldown: 300 seconds]

After reading through the long and detailed description, Yuan Qing felt like he was almost reading through Boqi's work.

Wow, these stats, this passive skill, these abilities!
