Magical girls also have intensity anxiety

Wu An thought the matter would come to an end, but unexpectedly, he was repeatedly surrounded by magical girls afterward.

Although the people who were blocking her way were all incompetent and easily defeated.

However, unexpected obstacles arose, which caused her some unease.

that's the truth.

[Magic value: 10086]

She had already entered her blooming period, but the problem was that, perhaps because she had been killing too frequently, the appearance of disaster beasts in Changming City had not been as frequent as before, and the ones that were being generated were all D-level disaster beasts.

Both quality and quantity declined.

Others may not feel this deeply, but Wu'an can see the daily changes in his magic power and feels it very clearly.

She remembered that after the night the monsters attacked the city, there were only a few D-level monsters for several days.

Now, it seems that this situation has recurred.

The minimum magic power required during the flowering period is 5000 points, while the minimum magic power required for the fourth tier is 15000 points.

With only half a month left, the daily magic conversion value is only a little over one hundred.

"At this rate, we won't make it in time..."

As Wu An was thinking this, the alarm from the crystal core came back. She sensed it and discovered it was a B-level calamity beast...

A feeling of excitement welled up inside me.

This was a target she had been avoiding, not only because of the large gap in strength.

The more important reason is that defeating a B-level disaster beast means having the strength of a fourth-tier being.

Once the Bureau of Control is on your side, magical girls of this caliber will inevitably lose their freedom to some extent.

Wu An glanced at the countdown above his head:

【372:17:27】

"That's enough."

Even if a problem does arise, it's good to try communicating and see if we can extend the timeframe.

These past few days, whenever she encountered a magical girl from the common folk blocking her way, she would first try to be polite before resorting to force, although each time she inevitably ended up turning peace into conflict.

However, the Bureau of General Affairs is staffed by government officials, and they won't take direct action unless there are fundamental issues involved. So, it's worth discussing.

Wu An activated the spatial magic within the crystal core, and with a flash of silver light, he appeared on a piece of land that had been blocked from the sunlight.

She looked up and saw the calamity beast hovering in the air, its body nearly a hundred meters long, like a giant whale.

Its aura wasn't particularly strong, but it was still only a B-rank.

I wanted to work with the regional manager to deal with the enemy, but the other party didn't seem to have reacted yet, and there was no movement after more than ten seconds.

"Aren't you coming yet..." She decided to go solo after only a few moments.

Wu An releases her magic to attract the monsters—high-level monsters have some intelligence, but not much. As soon as they sense the magical girl's magic, they will approach without thinking.

"Waaaah~ Waaah—"

The monstrous beast roared and swam to an open area.

Wu An took a deep breath and unleashed his full magical power, something he hadn't done in a long time.

......

They won, but the park below was severely damaged and will probably need to be rebuilt.

Wu An himself was also seriously injured and was almost about to lose his transformation state.

[Guardian: Having single-handedly defeated a B-rank calamity beast, you've become a magical girl capable of standing on your own! Join the Bureau now to enjoy a pioneering gift pack, choose your favorite prime location, and develop your own power!]

[Efficiency Bonus +10%]

Wu An doesn't want to enjoy the benefits of being in charge for the time being; he's begging for food online and still getting scolded.

[Accumulated Filthy Magic Power: 138 points (Rank B)]

The B-rank disaster beast had surprisingly little corrupted magic.

[Conversion]

[Tip: Conversion efficiency is optimal when the efficiency bonus reaches 400%.]

400% is not yet achievable. Wu An's current total efficiency bonus has already exceeded 300%. Part of this is due to the bonus brought by Li Huanhuan's advancement, and another part is due to the bonus provided by the [Guardian] skill from the large-scale hunting of disaster beasts.

However, there is still a significant distance to go before reaching 400%.

[Should/Should we continue the conversion?]

【Yes】

"Gurgle—"

A surge of heat rushed from his nasal cavity. Although he had already lost a lot of blood, the sudden nosebleed made Wu An's already weakened spirits even weaker.

It seems that forcing a conversion when efficiency is insufficient comes at a cost.

[Conversion Complete]

[Magic +184]

[Redundant Filth Magic Power +92]

The conversion rate is high, but a new problem has arisen. Wu'an opens the panel and checks the [Body] interface:

【Magic Power: 10270 (-92)】

[Note: You cannot "devour" redundant and corrupted magic power; your available magic power will be reduced by 50%; "Natural Cultivation" progress will stop until all redundant and corrupted magic power is converted.]

Current conversion rate: 4 hours / 4.62 points (efficiency bonus 362%)

Feeling a sharp sense of powerlessness within his body, Wu An frowned, and a soft grinding sound arose from his teeth.

The negative impact of inefficiency is too significant; how can we improve it...?

Doing community volunteer work, riding fans across the street, or organizing fan meet-and-greets—would that improve the efficiency of "behavioral norms"? We don't have the time.

Should you develop [companions] to quickly improve efficiency? It's just a matter of time, and it's somewhat like grasping at straws in desperation. Making friends carelessly could lead to your identity being exposed prematurely.

"Tsk... what should I do?"

Just as Wu An was agonizing over her troubles, a figure in green landed beside her.

"Miss Wu'an, we meet again."

Jin Feng stepped back on one foot, lifted her skirt, and bowed to her.

It was as if they were meeting some distinguished guest.

"What is it?" Wu An replied listlessly, feeling extremely unwell.

"We hope you can join the General Staff Bureau." As expected of a soldier trained by Kim Yoo-seok, he was polite even to those weaker than himself.

"I won't join."

"Then could you please stop your indiscriminate hunting of the calamity beasts?"

Wu An felt he had misheard, but still asked:

"reason."

Jin Feng knelt on the grass, leaned close to Wu An's ear, her flowing hair tickling Wu An's nose, and her moist voice escaped from her pink lips:

Please don't be angry.

After issuing a statement as a warning, Jin Feng revealed the truth:

"The frequency of calamity beasts appearing in our Changming City is among the highest of all cities, and the probability of high-level calamity beasts appearing is much lower than that of cities of the same level."

Its main function in Jiangdong is to supply magical girls to other regions.

Furthermore, if one were to become a magical girl at the scene of an attack by a C-rank or higher disaster beast, they would likely not survive the attack.

"..."

"Generally speaking, it's rare for magical girls to hunt down disaster beasts on a large scale, causing the disaster beasts to be eliminated before they can cause damage, unless it's a high-ranking magical girl who takes action."

Before Wu'an appeared, Jin Feng didn't know that magical girls could be this powerful.

Not only does she maintain unimaginable enthusiasm, but most importantly, she can not only teleport throughout the city, but also always appear when the calamity beasts appear.

The Bureau of Statistics now suspects that this is related to Wu An's innate ability, but everyone is only speculating about what Wu An's innate ability actually is.

Some say it flies incredibly fast, others say it's very strong in combat, and still others say it's good-looking... there are all sorts of speculations.

Logically speaking, the Bureau of Statistics should have intervened to stop Wu An when he first started enforcing the law throughout the city.

However, the higher-ups remained silent. It was only because the damage caused by Wu An dealing with the disaster beasts this time was quite significant that they found an excuse to let her recruit Wu An.

If Wu An does not join the Bureau of Control, he should also make a request to the Bureau of Control—to temporarily stop dealing with the disaster beasts at such a high intensity.

"I have a question."

"Speaking."

"What if I don't follow the Bureau's advice?"

"Well... it should be Lord Jin Yu who stops you."

Come to think of it, after interacting with other magical girls a lot lately, Wu'an has come to understand that people prefer to get things done with their fists rather than reasoning with them.

"If you really want to hunt down the monsters, you can consider finding places where they frequently invade on the official website or forums, and try to avoid medium to large cities like Changming City," Jin Feng reminded him.

Medium to large cities are the main source of magical girls.

"The tickets are too expensive, I can't afford them," Wu An said hesitantly.

Wu An doesn't quite understand the transportation methods in this world, but it's fine if he only moves around in one city.

But if you want to leave the city, you not only need approval, but the ticket price is also ridiculously expensive.

To put it another way, a middle-class family would have to scrimp and save for at least two or three years to save enough for a round-trip ticket if they wanted to travel to another city.

This is something Wu An simply cannot afford; even a loan wouldn't be enough.

Because he was a high school freshman and an orphan, he was deemed unable to repay the loan.

Unfortunately, the guardian is Jin Yu, and even loan sharks wouldn't dare lend Wu An money, for fear of causing problems.

With online loans, you can only get the lowest amount of money. It's okay to borrow money to treat someone to a meal, but it's far from enough to buy a train ticket.

Logically speaking, Qishan City, the closest city to Wu An, is only about 100 kilometers away. At Wu An's current speed, flying there would be a piece of cake.

The problem is that she can't fly out of the city. Once she flies to the edge of the city, she gets stuck in a maze. As long as she wants to fly, the road in front of her will keep extending, unless she turns around.

Because Jin Yu hadn't erased Wu An's memories of the night the monsters invaded, she still remembered the scene and knew that the city was surrounded by a barrier. It was indeed unlikely that she could break through it with her own abilities.

The key issue is that she doesn't know what the area outside the city is like, or if it's dangerous. Perhaps that's why the train ticket is actually so expensive...

"You don't have money? That's easy. Join the Bureau of Statistics, and Miss Jin will give you a referral. You can go anywhere in Jiangdong, Jiangxi, or Jiangbei. It won't cost you anything."

Jin Feng narrowed his eyes and smiled ingratiatingly.

"I'll think about it some more."

Wu An shook his head, no longer bothering with Jin Feng, and flew straight home.

"Even a hero can be brought down by a penny!" she couldn't help but lament, realizing that the first obstacle she faced in reaching the fourth level was simply that she had no money!

What should I do?

Robbing a bank? I feel like I'd be pinned to the ground right after the robbery.

Becoming a henchman for rich people? That's so un-magical girl-like, doing it would damage my mental state... and no one would dare hire a magical girl as a henchman anyway.

After thinking it over and over, I really couldn't find a solution other than "borrowing money".

I know plenty of rich women, but I'm still a poor wretch...

Is that right? No, that's not right!

Is there any way? It seems there really isn't... except for joining the Bureau of Statistics.

Should I borrow money from Li Huanhuan? It feels so awkward. If I did that, wouldn't I go from being the "leader" to the "boss"...?

It's like collecting protection money. And Li Huanhuan will definitely take advantage of the situation, seize the opportunity, and kick someone when they're down!

Seeking Jin Yu's affection? Well... although he's been in contact with Jin Yu quite frequently lately, and it's always Jin Yu who comes uninvited, Wu An can tell that she actually harbors resentment towards him.

Because I don't go to school.

As an adopted son, not only did he defy his guardian's wishes and refuse to go to school, but he also suddenly asked for such a large sum of money. No matter how you look at it, he should only be severely reprimanded.

Rights and obligations are reciprocal. If one has not fulfilled the corresponding obligations, one is naturally not entitled to receive financial support from Jinyu Fund.

Furthermore, considering the nature of the language, money is a relatively minor issue, and the approval required to leave the city cannot be obtained.

Wu An sighed and deactivated his transformation.

"I really want an ATM."
