Is it only magical girls?

As soon as she pushed open the door of Momomo, Yuanxing loudly announced her victory, and then she noticed a black hand-cranked lottery machine on the bar.

Is there anyone in this world who would remain unmoved upon seeing a lottery machine?

No!

Yuanxing ran quickly towards the lottery machine: "Can I try my luck with this?"

"Sure, it was originally prepared for you guys."

Upon hearing this, Yuanxing immediately put it into practice, starting to spin the lottery machine rapidly, and soon a golden bead flew out of it.

The golden bead undoubtedly represented winning the prize, which excited Yuanxing: "Oh! A golden bead, it looks like something good!"

Hong Shi laughed and said, "There are ten thousand round beads here, in three colors: gold, rainbow, and red. There are nine thousand nine hundred, ninety-nine, and one bead respectively. Of course, the gold bead is the worst one you'll get."

Without saying a word, Yuanxing continued to spin.

The friends were more curious about the lottery machine than the lottery itself, and they started asking each other what exactly it was.

"Nothing special. You guys defeated a colossal monster, right? Although that colossal monster was a bit strange. It was more like eight large monsters stitched together than a colossal monster. But I'm not stingy, so I'll treat it as a colossal monster and give the Magical Girl Squad to which Momomo belongs a colossal monster-level reward."

Yuanxing's lottery draw yielded a result: another glittering golden bead, its dazzling appearance a perfect example of something beautiful on the outside but rotten inside. Undeterred, she immediately began drawing her third bead without hesitation.

Hong Shidao said, "What kind of reward should we give to the magical girls who have defeated the colossal monster? I get a headache just thinking about this. I have no idea what to reward you with, so I simply sealed everything that could be a reward inside a ball and turned it into a lottery machine. You'll like it, right? Nobody dislikes a lottery machine, right? My idea is absolutely perfect!"

Yes!

The magical girls couldn't deny Crimson World's words; lotteries were simply amazing!

Yuanxing was the best example; after drawing out the third gold bead, she showed no intention of stopping and continued drawing.

Hong Shi continued, "Each of you has five chances to draw a prize. The gold bead is a reward that I think is just right for your level, the rainbow bead is the highest level reward I think I can give you, and the crimson one is just for fun, anyway, you're unlikely to—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yuanxing's fourth draw was completed, and the room was instantly filled with crimson light.

Silence fell over the room for a moment.

Yuanxing laughed heartily for several seconds, then asked teasingly, "Impossible what? Sister Hongshi, please continue?"

"There's a dog!"

"I, Whale, can feel your joy in the sun!"

Miyou and Qingyin rushed towards Yuanxing and launched a brutal tickling attack on him. Yuanxing initially tried to fight back, but in the end, he was no match for their combined strength and succumbed to reality, constantly begging for mercy.

Hong Shi stared blankly at Chi Zhu, lost in thought: "There really is someone who can draw that? Can people really be that stupid?"

Farstar was completely unafraid of things getting out of hand, and even when surrounded, it continued to provoke others with a frenzied bark: "Woof woof woof."

Hong Shi tossed the Crimson Pearl back into the lottery machine: "I won't give her a fifth chance. Next person, please draw."

Yuanxing absorbed all the team's luck, leaving the remaining four members with only small gold beads. Yuanxing's team had a total of 23 small gold beads and one red bead.

Yuanxing suddenly felt something was wrong. There were six of them when they arrived, and there were also six when they entered the Demon Realm, but now there were only five. Taoying had disappeared.

If someone is missing, one naturally has to ask carefully: "Where is Tao Ying?"

"Oh, you want her to fill Qianchan's place?"

Yuanxing shook his head vigorously.

"Magic Café is a private place; only members of your club can come here. If you want other independent magical girls to come, your club leader needs to grant them access. Would you like to invite one?"

"Uh-huh!"

Tao Ying quickly appeared in the cafe and immediately walked towards Qing Yin. She grabbed Qing Yin with her left hand and led her towards Mi You, who followed, somewhat bewildered. Then, Tao Ying put her right arm around Mi You and pulled the three of them together, saying, "Hey, you two are really nice! We've got our eye on your spot. Which of you ladies will be kind enough to give it to us?"

Ok?

Qingyin had many questions. She didn't ask Yeliu or Lingling, but ran straight to her and took her to find Miyou. This behavior was incomprehensible!

Miyou asked, "Why me?"

“It’s obvious that you two are just playing around, unlike those two who are serious. There’s still a chance you’ll give us your spots.” Tao Ying pulled the three heads closer together. “We’re serious too, so please be kind and give us your spots. We’ll definitely repay you! When I saw her crying yesterday, I swore that I would do everything I could to protect her and never let her shed tears other than those of happiness.”

Receive information, understand intelligence, and recognize the current situation.

Miyou said, "I need to think about this. Giving you my spot wouldn't be out of the question, but I might be serious."

"I'm sorry."

Tao Ying looked at the only member, Qing Yin. Qing Yin was the only one she didn't recognize, and she was the only one she could rely on.

Faced with Tao Ying's gaze, Qing Yin could only scream, "Xiao Xing!!! It's one thing if you're in the team, but don't go around attracting attention outside the team!!!"

"Eh? What's wrong? What's wrong? (The rest of the text appears to be nonsensical and unrelated to the initial question.)"

Yuanxing skipped over and squeezed into the three heads: "You three are so sneaky, what are you whispering about? Can I join you?"

Chapter 26. Twenty-six. Escaping is shameful, but it's useful.

Yuanxing came closer, but that didn't change Taoying's outspoken nature at all. She replied directly, "I'll see if I can get someone who isn't serious to give up their seat for me, because I'm very serious."

"Saying that they're not serious is going too far. Aoba and Miyu are just doing magical girl work in a normal way."

Although they were in a position of being protected by Yuanxing, Qingye and Miyu were not grateful and turned their backs to Yuanxing, instead showing more sympathy for Taoying.

Momo Sakura speaks very directly: "I'm not talking about magical girls. Magical girls eventually reach the age of 22. What I want to talk about is something much longer than magical girls, something that involves one's entire life."

No way?! No way?! That's incredible?!

Tao Ying released her arms from Qing Ye and Mi You, and reached out to grab Yuan Xing's hand: "I saw you crying yesterday. Although I've only met you once, I know what a lively and strong girl you are. Seeing your heartbroken face broke my heart too, and I felt an urge to protect you no matter what. Yuan Xing, will you become my sister? Will you be loyal to me for life, through thick and thin, never to be separated? I swear I will never betray you, never hide anything from you, and never let you shed tears other than those of happiness."

Is it really that powerful!

Is this what a biker gang is like?!

You just go straight in and attack when you're fighting monsters, and now you're just going to attack when you're trying to build rapport with someone? Aren't you being a bit too aggressive? Don't you know anything about restraint?!

But I can swear!

Qingyin's eyes nearly popped out of her head. She thought Xingying was great too! She'd always been a Xingying shipper!

Ye Liu and Ling Ling hadn't been paying much attention to this area; they were busy discussing the magic chips they'd just acquired with Hong Shi. But not paying much attention didn't mean they weren't paying attention. The image of Tao Ying suddenly grabbing Yuan Xing's hands was still explosively imprinted in their eyes—something they simply couldn't accept!

"You scared the distant star!"

Ye Liu rushed over quickly, trying to pry Tao Ying's hand open, but Tao Ying wouldn't budge an inch. The two engaged in a tug-of-war, with Yuan Xing's hand acting as the medium, neither willing to give up first.

In order to stop both sides and allow her to have the prize all to herself, Ling Ling Hu said, "Yuan Xing's hand looks like it's about to break."

Her soft whispers startled the two, who had been holding on tightly just moments before, and they both let go almost simultaneously. Then Lingling stepped forward, spreading her arms wide to completely block Yuanxing with her petite body: "Yuanxing said he doesn't want to."

No, no, I didn't.

First, I wasn't scared; second, my hand wasn't broken; and third, I didn't say I didn't want to.

But it seems like choosing either one would become a hassle, and in that case...

Yuanxing frantically pressed the escape button in her mind, then turned and rushed towards Hongshi: "I almost forgot! We were just talking about what kind of reward Chizhu was going to give me!"

"Huh? Didn't I tell you it was a spell called [Multi-cast]?"

"Then let's go to the dojo to practice, Sister Hongshi!"

Yuanxing wasn't asking any questions. She simply grabbed Hongshi's hand and dragged her towards the dojo. It was as if she was pulling and dragging her away, regardless of Hongshi's intentions, to get her out of the coffee shop, this place of trouble.

"Huh? So tough?"

Hong Shi reluctantly followed her, teasing her on the way to the dojo: "What kind of move is that?"

"Run away?" Yuanxing said matter-of-factly, "Running away is shameful but useful, and I'll use any useful trick. Why did the atmosphere turn out like that just now? We just defeated a super-large monster and just extracted the Crimson Pearl. Two such happy things happened at the same time, and the club members immediately started fighting amongst themselves."

"This is nothing, we're far from internal strife. And don't use that 'running away' trick again, or you'll be devastated when you get back and find your companions all dead in a bloodbath."

Yuanxing grimaced and shook her head vigorously, clearing away all the terrifying images that were surfacing in her mind: "That was terrifying! What kind of magical girl horror story is this!" She pushed Hongshi hard: "Seriously, I didn't know what to do, and you made up a story to scare me, Hongshi."

"It's not a story, but a fact."

"Stop talking, stop talking, I surrender, okay?"

Farstar abruptly ended the topic, and to ensure the conversation wouldn't escalate further, asked, "The [Multiple Casting] spell originated from the Crimson Pearl. What are its uses? Could you please teach me, Master Crimson World?"

"Literally, it means you can release the spell you want to cast multiple times in one go, up to nine times in a row. I personally quite like the combination of [Multiple Cast], [Scatter], [Rapid Fire], [Split], and [Will-o'-the-Wisp]. [Scatter] can turn [Will-o'-the-Wisp] from 1 strand to 5 strands, [Rapid Fire] can release [Will-o'-the-Wisp] twice, and [Split] can split the triggered [Will-o'-the-Wisp] into 5 strands. Combined with [Multiple Cast], you can imagine how many will-o'-the-wisp you can release."

"Why are you setting off so many will-o'-the-wisps? To bomb the city?"

"forget."

Just before entering the dojo, Yuanxing suddenly stopped and grabbed Hongshi's hand, asking, "Sister Hongshi, when we were fighting monsters, we found that the scorpion tail of that super-large monster was exactly the same as the scorpion tail of the large monsters we had fought before. Theoretically, is it possible for two monsters to be exactly the same?"

"No, because people's evil intentions are different. Even if they all want to attack someone or destroy something to vent their evil intentions, the objects and methods are different, so the evil intentions will also be different, and the monsters will naturally be different."

Yuanxing's eyes gradually brightened: "There must be a reason why those monsters have the same body parts, right? I bet that Senior Qianchan's disappearance is related to this incident! She must have gone to investigate the connections behind this matter!"

"Where's the evidence?"

"No!" Yuanxing said arrogantly, hands on her hips, though she had no evidence. "Don't you think a young girl's intuition is the most powerful? I think my intuition is much more reliable than any evidence!"

"You can just say this to me, or you can tell your friends in your club. Don't tell anyone outside, or you might get beaten up."

Yuanxing smiled brightly: "Ordinary people can't beat me." Then she changed the subject: "I want to investigate this matter. I want to know why my senior left the club. Can Sister Hongshi help me?"

"For example?"

"For example, tell me where to start my investigation. Although I want to investigate, I have no clue where to begin."

Chapter 27: The Twenty-Seven Magic Cannons moved as slowly as tortoises, their trajectories chaotic and disorderly.

This is indeed a rather difficult problem.

Farstar asked why super-large monsters and large monsters have the same scorpion tail? The answer is simple: it's all because of the bad things done by Paradise.

She also asked Qianchan what she had gone to investigate before leaving the club, and the answer was simple: she must have gone to investigate the amusement park.

Another question is where she should begin her investigation, and the answer is still simple: investigate the amusement park and you'll know.

All the bad things in this world are done by Paradise. Although it can't be 100% accurate, it's about 99% accurate. The 1% deduction is because Crimson World is very meticulous.

But this can't be told to Yuanxing. If it is, she'll definitely infiltrate the Paradise to investigate, and her actions will be similar to Qianchan's: either she'll join the Paradise herself to investigate, or she'll lead her team there. The bad ending is disbanding the club again, the good ending is leading the club to the Paradise. Either way, Hongshi will be the biggest loser. Can I tell her this?

"There's no need to rush. With your current level of expertise, rashly conducting an investigation will only put you in danger."

"Moreover, Qianchan has already started her investigation. Once she has some leads, she will definitely need someone to help her from the inside out. So what you need most is to make yourself more capable, rather than wasting time on investigation."

Yuanxing thought it made a lot of sense, and focused his attention back on cultivation. He grabbed Hongshi's hand and ran towards the dojo: "Okay, then let's go to the dojo quickly, Teacher Hongshi!"

Upon arriving at the dojo, Farstar immediately attached the newly acquired [Multiple Release] spell to her wand, then began installing the other spells she wished to use. Her wand was brand new, a gift from Crimson World. On the outside, it appeared ordinary—just a simple wooden stick—but its inner workings were extraordinary. It came with an unremovable [Tracking] chip slot, and in addition, it had six other freely installable chip slots, making it a wand with a total of seven chip slots—the highest level among all wands.

"This wand can be considered a reward for the color tier, so don't tell anyone, okay?"

"Rich woman! Hungry! Food!"

Faced with Yuanxing's foolish act, Hongshi pondered how to kick her butt. A flying kick, a spinning kick, a backflip kick—all were good options. However, Yuanxing had just finished saying she was foolish and then ran off to practice, so before she could even think of a kick, the opportunity was gone.

Simply shooting at targets is meaningless, so Yuanxing chose the virtual monster provided by MomoMo. Except for the malevolent barrier, the virtual monster is almost identical to a real monster. Yuanxing chose a large monster that resembles a turtle. This type of monster excels in defense and moves slowly, making it perfect for magical girls to practice on.

The first magic Yuanxing practiced was the magic she obtained from three gold beads in a lottery machine. The first magic chip she practiced was called "Revolution." After adding this magic chip, Yuanxing continuously released magic bullets at monsters, imagining the magic bullets attacking large monsters from all directions.

But that scene didn't appear; instead, only a magic bullet orbiting a distant star appeared, which means...

She went from a ranged fighter to a melee fighter! How can such useless magic exist in this world?!

Yuanxing gave Hongshi a resentful look. Hongshi didn't react at first, but burst into laughter after a few seconds.

"Why add such useless magic!"

Kurogane suppressed a laugh: "It's very useful for melee attacks."

Yuanxing carefully put away the [Revolution] magic chip and considered its whereabouts: "I'll give it to Yeliu later. Surrounding Yeliu with magic shields, elemental orbs, and magic bullets will be more effective in protecting her. After all, she recently switched to a melee position, and I'm worried that she might get hurt."

The magic chip obtained from the second golden bead was quite powerful, a chip called "Rapid Fire." Just as its name suggests, it allows the wand to cast spells much faster, making it an essential super magic chip for a ranged magical girl like Farstar. Unfortunately, "Rapid Fire" is very useful, and Farstar has many. She uses three regularly, three for replacement, three for her collection, and three for missionary work, resulting in an increase in unused chips.

The third chip caught Yuanxing's eye; this magic chip was the [Will-o'-the-Wisp] he had mentioned not long ago. Yuanxing tested it briefly. This magic released a single will-o'-the-wisp each time it was cast. The will-o'-the-wisp was incredibly powerful, but extremely slow. It seemed very effective against monsters with excellent defense but slow movements.

After using the three newly acquired chips, the next step is to fully integrate the [Multi-Spellcasting] magic into my own combat style.

Farstar has two main combat styles. The first is a magic cannon-type attack, where he gathers and binds magical power, then fires it all out in a straight line. The second is a magic missile attack, where countless magic missiles freely attack monsters. The former is suitable for fighting large monsters, while the latter is better suited for dealing with numerous small monsters.

[Multiple Cast] has little effect on magic cannon-type spells, because the power of magic cannon-type spells depends on the amount of magic power injected, but magic missile-type spells are completely different.

[Scatter] increases the number of fired magic missiles to 5. Combined with [Tracking], it slightly affects the direction of the magic missiles, causing the 5 scattered missiles to converge in one place. [Rapid Fire] increases the number of magic missiles to 10. [Rapid Fire] halves the firing time, and the lower magic consumption allows for [Quadruple Release]. The last slot can be used to add elements like [Fire], [Freeze], and [Lightning], as well as special effects like [Giant], [Rapid Speed], and [Explosion].

Farstar chose [Explosion]. When she uses magic missiles, she can now fire 80 missiles per second that explode upon impact. While practicing against a large monster, she subdued it to the point of immobility. She could even slide onto the large monster and unleash a barrage of 80 explosive missiles, blasting it into the air and brutally reducing it to dust, showering the sky with magical energy.

"How was it? I did a great job, didn't I!"

“Not bad,” Hong Shi nodded, “As a student, I can give you a passing grade.”
