Is it better to fight for a future with integrity and honesty, or to compromise and accept protection from others?
"Everyone, please be quiet. I have something to say."
A masked man suddenly stood up, and the rest of the people immediately fell silent, indicating that this person held a very high position.
"Gentlemen, what is the purpose of the Amnesty? Isn't it to ensure the continuation of humanity? The reason you're all arguing here is simply because you can't let go of the power you hold. But don't forget, power doesn't arise from nothing; it comes from the lower classes. If humanity is destroyed, we will have no reason to exist. You all know the situation with the Divine Tree. To maintain the world's operation, its energy is nearly exhausted. Even if we can withstand the disaster a month from now, how many more times can we withstand it?"
“We desperately need the protection of a new god. In the face of survival, nothing else matters. The new god has given us an opportunity, and if we don’t seize it, the consequences will be unimaginable. So my proposal is: unconditionally agree to all the new god’s demands. As long as the other party can ensure the continuation of human civilization, I would be willing to be her dog and lick her toes.”
The other executives nearby looked indifferent: "Get a uremia patient to wake him up! Do you think you'd get such a good thing? Do you think we don't know you're a lolicon?"
"Cough cough cough! I would never admit to something like that... I have a protective heart towards underage girls and would never harm them."
However, the words of this high-ranking official also served as a wake-up call for them.
Power and dignity are nothing compared to survival.
Only those who survive have the right to speak of dignity.
"Since that's the case, it's decided then. It's unanimously approved. Our Amnesty will be disbanded at this time, and we will devote ourselves entirely to serving the new god. By the way, what should we do about the Tree God? After all, the operation of this world still depends on the Tree God."
"Then we'll see what the new god's attitude is. The new god's deadline for us is before sunset. We have two hours left. We need to pass this message on to the new god immediately."
……
At this moment, Yamabuki Hanajin was having a meal at the shop with three girls.
These three girls are not only heroes, but also wealthy women.
In particular, Nogi Sonoko, who is the daughter of a large family, has very close ties with the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Amnesty Bureau.
Just then, all three girls received messages on their phones at the same time. Thinking it was a battle order, they immediately checked their phones, only to find that they had received a message of amnesty and disbandment.
"What's going on? Why did the amnesty suddenly disband? What will happen to this world?" Nogi Sonoko asked in horror.
Although they now know the truth about the world, the Amnesty must ultimately bear the responsibility for the world's operation, so it was disbanded silently. If the outside world knew about it, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.
"Did you say something to them?" Nogi Sonoko stared at Yamabuki Hanajin.
Yamabuki Hanajin took a sip of milk tea, a sly smile spreading across her youthful face.
Girl, how could you imagine me to be so despicable?
A moment later, all of the senior and middle-level personnel of the amnesty arrived at the restaurant. The other people in the restaurant were dumbfounded, and they did not understand why so many senior personnel had been involved.
After these high-ranking officials arrived in front of Yamabuki Hanajin, a large number of them knelt down in a flash!
“From today onwards, you are our god. The amnesty has been dissolved. We will offer our bodies and souls to you, hoping that you will have pity on us and lead this world toward tomorrow.”
"It's not a big problem." Yamabuki Hanajin didn't expect that these people would actually disband and grant amnesty, and that they were still useless.
“I won’t be in this world all the time. I’ll only come back occasionally to take a look. So, is it alright to find someone to be my messenger and manage you in my place?” Yamabuki Hanajin asked.
"No problem at all."
Yamabuki Hanajin circled around again, finally fixing her gaze on Nogi Sonoko: "It's you, girl. I feel we're destined for each other. From now on, you will be the messenger of the evil god. Offer me your loyalty and chastity!"
Nogi Sonoko delivered a chop to her head.
The high-ranking officials of the amnesty were terrified; this was a grave disrespect to the gods.
"How could a twelve-year-old girl like me possibly manage so many people?" Nogi Sonoko couldn't help but shout.
Suddenly I feel immense pressure.
"Just play with confidence, even if the world collapses, it doesn't matter to me. By the way, this is the configuration I wrote for the Hero System. Take a look, and we'll modify it according to this standard from now on, okay?" Yamabuki Hanajin sent over a planning document.
Someone immediately took it with both hands.
The plan document describes a version that follows "full bloom" and "scattered flowers".
The "scattering petals" mechanic has been removed. The girls enter battle with their arms full of petals. Each time they are fatally attacked, a petal will be removed. Before that, they can activate "full bloom," but once activated, the energy bar will be depleted, and they will no longer be able to provide any defense.
This is a relatively compromise solution.
It weakened the upper limit but raised the lower limit.
"No problem at all, we can start making changes now."
“Very well, you can leave now. I will take care of the rest of the things.” Yamabuki Hanajin reached out and grabbed a strand of Nogi Sonoko’s hair.
"Ouch!" Nogi Sonoko chopped Yamabuki Hanajin with a chop to the neck again.
"This is all I can do for you. It's more reassuring to have your own destiny in your own hands. These people won't dare to cause trouble anytime soon. As for when I'll be back? Heh, only heaven knows." Yamabuki Hanajin seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Nogi Sonoko rubbed her forehead: "I knew you were unreliable."
"Alright, that's enough for today. It's getting dark, and I need to find a place to sleep! We... will meet again someday!"
Chapter 461: The Working Immortal Bazett Makes a Grand Entrance
Magical Girl Illya world.
In a very remote corner of Fuyuki City, there is a row of extremely old apartment buildings. These apartments are almost as old as the city itself, and they look dilapidated due to years of neglect.
At the same time, it has also brought about a variety of housing problems.
For example, drainage issues, heating issues, fire prevention issues...
Moreover, as soon as you open the door and walk in, you can smell a damp, rotten floor, which makes you feel very uncomfortable.
The building manager is an elderly woman in her eighties. Her daily routine consists of sitting in a rocking chair and watching the cars and people come and go.
"boom!"
The apartment door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and the old woman turned her head slightly, smiling as she looked at the woman who appeared in front of her.
This is a capable woman in her early twenties with short hair. She is wearing a construction worker's vest and carrying a suitcase. Judging from her physique and the muscles in her arms, you can tell that she exercises regularly.
The woman's name is Bazette.
I recently arrived in Fuyuki City to carry out a mission.
That is to collect the scattered magic cards.
But unexpectedly, something went wrong during the work process.
Not only did they not receive the cards, they also blew up someone's villa.
Enraged, the higher-ups simply abandoned her in Dongmu City and left her to fend for herself.
Bazett now has two things he must do.
First: Make sure to collect all the remaining cards. Only then will your mission be complete, and you can return to the Clock Tower with peace of mind.
Second: Work to pay off the debt.
The price of a luxury villa...
It's not something you can afford with the money you earn from working.
But Bazett, a woman of steel, single-handedly supported her family.
He works as a construction worker carrying cement, delivering newspapers, food delivery, and milk delivery. He also works in the kitchen and as a cleaner…
In just half a month, Bazett did almost every job available on the market.
but……
Can working people really get rich through their hard work?
After deducting insurance, food expenses, accommodation expenses, and losses caused to the boss while working.
In a full two weeks, Bazett's actual earnings were... zero!
You read that right, it's zero.
Meanwhile, Bazette was evicted by his landlord because he couldn't afford the rent.
Therefore, she had no choice but to choose this old apartment, hoping that the rent here would be cheaper.
Bazett stood imposingly in front of the old woman.
"I want to rent an apartment. How much does it cost per month?" Bazett had already done his research beforehand.
Because this apartment building is old and in disrepair, the price will definitely not be too high.
The old woman slightly opened her eyes, her gaze revealing the cunning of a shrewd merchant.
"Fifty thousand yen."
"Crack!" Bazett nearly crushed the handle of his suitcase.
"How many?"
"Fifty thousand yen," the old woman repeated.
"Why does this haunted apartment cost 50,000 yen? If you ask me, 10,000 yen would be enough." In these fourteen days, Bazett learned a new skill called bargaining.
She once bargained a work uniform down from 2,000 yen to 50 yen in a shopping mall, thus engaging in a real-life competition with the mall owner.
Come and have a go. How could an ordinary person possibly beat me?
Then she was arrested by the police, obediently went to the station, and had to pay a large sum of medical expenses, making her already meager life even worse.
The old woman suddenly stood up, a stark contrast to her previous sickly appearance.
"Young lady, you must have misunderstood something! This is a very high-end apartment, cool in winter and warm in summer, with plenty of natural light all year round, allowing you to feel the most comfortable connection with nature. Not only that, but there's also an alarm clock that wakes you up for work every day. How could you possibly rent an apartment like this for 10,000 yuan? Young lady, 50,000 yuan." The old woman said with a sinister smile.
Bazett remained silent for a long time.
Cool in winter and warm in summer: The room is extremely poorly insulated.
Light shines from all four sides: a light touch on the wall with your finger could create a large hole.
A touch of nature: Is grass growing on the floor?
There's a punctual alarm clock every day: the subway station is right next door, and the train departs promptly at 6 a.m., which means the room has extremely poor soundproofing!
"Damn it! If only it could be cheaper... if only it could be cheaper..." Bazett now only had 20,000 yuan left.
With no other choice, she could only turn around and leave.
"I'm sorry to bother you, old woman. Go find a new place." Just as Bazett was about to turn around, the old woman jabbed the floor with her cane.
"Honestly, why are young people so impatient these days? Don't you know that the happiest thing for women when they're shopping isn't what they buy, but the fun of bargaining? Haven't you ever been shopping before? Fifty thousand yuan is just my target price, so give me a price." The old woman said seriously.
Bazett blinked: "I wouldn't dare, I'm afraid you'll fight me."
"Tch, what haven't I seen, old lady? Give me a price, and we'll talk about whether it's a deal or not after you've given me your offer." The old lady stared at Bazett.
I still have 20,000 yuan in my hands, but if I use it all to rent a place and live, it will become a problem.
If I only offer 10,000 yuan... will this old woman start a fight with me?
But since things had already come to this point, Bazett had no choice but to grit his teeth and extend one finger.
"One thousand dollars." Bazett was already prepared for a fight between the two sides.
"Deal!" The old woman pulled out the contract with lightning speed, grabbed Bazett's hand and pressed her fingerprint on it, then carried Bazett's luggage upstairs to the room and pushed him inside.
“Thank you for your patronage!”
Bazett looked around at the dilapidated room in front of him, feeling bewildered.
I reached out and gently poked the wooden window, and the entire window fell straight down from the second floor.
And this floor, which smells moldy, actually has mushrooms growing on it!
Are you sure you're not kidding me?
I quoted myself 1,000 yuan...it seems like I lost out!
The old woman was swinging her keys outside. "You're still too young. How many years has this apartment building been uninhabited? Every thousand is a thousand."
Bazett breathed a long sigh of relief; at least he had a place to settle down.
Tomorrow's work schedule is packed.
I go to the construction site to carry cement at five in the morning, work at a fast food restaurant at noon, sell ice cream at a convenience store in the afternoon, and deliver food in the evening...
Is this the legendary working immortal?
Bazett lay on the bed board, which made a creaking sound that made his teeth ache.
