Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

Lu Chaoge becoming a magical girl was a complete accident.

The appearance of the other magical girls is said to be due to awakening.

Then Lu Chaoge will inherit the position.

A man transforms into a magical girl? Hey, how strange!

For this reason, Lu Chaoge, despite being a magical girl, is completely unable to generate magic on her own and needs external sources to replenish it.

With a wave of his right hand, a heart-shaped pink gem appeared in his hand.

The gemstone is covered with cracks, and its luster is dim, with only about a quarter of the area lit up.

This is the heart flower unique to magical girls, symbolizing their life, and its luster represents magic.

When the flower of the heart shatters, or when magic fades, it signifies the end of life.

"Fu Fu, how much magic essence do I have left?" Lu Chaoge turned to look at Cyber ​​QB, who simply shook his head.

Magic element, a derivative of magic.

This is the result of research conducted by various companies on magical girls; it's a medical product.

However, magic essence is now used as a high-grade inhibitor, widely used to suppress discomfort and phantom pain associated with implanted prosthetics.

Lu Chaoge hates that magical girls are used as experimental subjects by the company and feels injustice for their tragic fate.

But now he needs this research product, obtained through bloodshed, to prolong his life!

He placed an order for ten Magic Essence items, and then Lu Chaoge glanced at his balance.

Balance: 10@

A bowl of beef noodles costs 1@, a can of the cheapest magic potion costs 2@, and the unpaid rent costs 8@...

After paying the rent, the remaining balance is 2.

After the delivery drone brought the magic essence, Lu Chaoge finished his drink. He then picked up the magic essence inhibitor and injected it into his body one injection at a time.

After the eight magical essences were used up, the luster of the Heart Flower also reached three-quarters.

Lu Chaoge didn't dare to inject all the magic essence into it. This flower of the heart was already too broken, and if it were filled with magic, it might shatter.

However, as long as magic still exists, this broken flower of the heart can eventually be slowly repaired, although the amount of magic energy required may be an enormous number.

Perhaps sensing Lu Chaoge's somewhat downcast mood, Fufu floated onto his shoulder and offered words of comfort.

"Master, please don't be discouraged. What you just saw will not happen in District 43."

Why?

"Because District 43 is different from other cities, it has the world's only Magical Girl Protection Association. We can choose to join them, and perhaps we can find a way to repair the Heart Flower faster."

District 43 is just the name of a city.

This world has hundreds of cities of all sizes, and District 43 is a special place for magical girls.

The Magical Girl Protection Association is located in Ward 43. Any magical girl who registers with the association can obtain legal status in Ward 43, at least preventing them from being captured and researched by corporations.

However, upon hearing Cyberqb's words, a strange look appeared in Lu Chaoge's eyes.

"The Magical Girl Protection Association... Do you even know what kind of thing needs to be called that?"

Lu Chaoge sat up and uttered two words succinctly.

"animal."

Magical girls are rare creatures in this world.

Floating Floating flapped its wings, but didn't say anything.

"And can the so-called Magical Girl Protection Association really protect magical girls? If so, why don't other magical girls around the world join?"

Although this was also the reason why Lu Chaoge came to District 43, it was only because magic essence was easier to buy here. He would not place his hopes on a protection association.

The most critical point.

He is male, a male magical girl.

This is a groundbreaking discovery!

Lu Chaoge dared to guarantee that as soon as she went to the Magical Girl Association, she would attract countless eyes and be quickly captured and dissected. That was the pressure from countless companies, and the Magical Girl Association would definitely not be able to survive.

Fu Fu didn't refute Lu Chaoge's words, but instead rummaged through his pockets. When she saw the pack of cigarettes, she spoke with considerable disdain.

"Master, why are you smoking? You're a magical girl, how can you smoke like that? It's bad for your health!"

Lu Chaoge was taken aback, but before he could speak, Fu Fu flew to the side, pulled out an electronic cigarette from under the table, and began to puff away under Lu Chaoge's wide-eyed gaze.

"Aren't you a familiar? When did you learn this?" Lu Chaoge was surprised.

"Relax, Master. I've lived this long, what haven't I seen! It's you who's making a fuss, Master. You're not like someone from this era at all." The veteran cybernetic user exhaled a smoke ring and said.

Using CyberQB e-cigarettes is perfectly reasonable.

It's quite reasonable for a magical girl to smoke a traditional cigarette.

In the end, Fu Fu spoke up and analyzed the situation for Lu Chaoge.

"Alright, my dear master, joining the association is just the best conclusion I reached based on my data analysis. But in any case, please try to repair the Heart Flower. After all, the girl codenamed Iris is the strongest magical girl, and this will greatly help your life."

"How strong?" Lu Chaoge raised an eyebrow.

"Very strong."

"Could someone catch a nuclear bomb in their face?"

Lu Chaoge meant it as a joke, after all, if the iris was really that strong, then how could it have...

But CyberQB, who was usually carefree, spoke with unusual seriousness.

"able."

What the hell!

To catch a nuclear bomb in one's face—this is a clash between magic and technology!

Hearing this, Lu Chaoge sat up abruptly. "So, according to you, as long as the Heart Flower is repaired, wouldn't we be able to take down the company?"

"My dear master, the company's strength lies not in its weapons, but in the erosion of capital..." Fu Fu suddenly stopped speaking, then paused and looked at Lu Chaoge.

"Master, what you need to think about now is not how to destroy the company, but how to make more money to buy magic essence."

When it came to making money, Lu Chaoge lay back down. "Easier said than done. Tell me how I'm going to make it. I'm working as a mercenary and risking my life to earn it."

Fu Fu stared at Lu Chaoge, its mechanical eyes flashing with flowing red light, as if it were analyzing something.

It then drew a conclusion.

"My dear master, you can try companionship services; magical girls have a very high premium."

Lu Chaoge was silent for two seconds before reacting, "Are you even human? Why are you saying such nice things? Is your magical girl your virgin?!"

"I need to correct Master's misunderstanding. Fufu is not human, but merely a magical girl's companion beast. Furthermore, I suggest Master refrain from using such vulgar language. This is more of a companion service, and many magical girls have done this for survival during Fufu's long life."

"Damn it!" Lu Chaoge exclaimed in shock. "Are your standards for selecting magical girls really this low? Shouldn't magical girls be about saving the world, filled with love and miracles?"

Fufu's eyes flashed with a scarlet light as it mechanically replied, "Times are changing, and so are the selection criteria. The world no longer needs magical girls to save it, and magical girls are no longer objects of love and miracles."

"Master, if I may be frank, after spending this time together, I've noticed that your moral standards and social perceptions sometimes don't align with the standards of this era. They lean more towards the traditional, ascetic type of magical girl. You need to lower your standards a bit!"

"And you have a great prejudice against magical girls."

Lu Chaoge chuckled. "Prejudice? I'm a magical girl myself now, what prejudice could I possibly have against magical girls?"

The voice of the floating machinery rang out.

"Master, your understanding of magical girls is based on unrealistically idealistic expectations. You imagine magical girls to be far too wonderful, which is abnormal. We suggest you watch more magical girl movies to change your perception."

A movie? What movie? A magical girl movie?

But Lu Chaoge's expression immediately changed, because Fu Fu was looking for resources and asked him whether he liked three-dimensional or two-dimensional, and whether he liked yuri or cowgirl.

"Get lost, you inherently evil cyber qb! I'm a die-hard pure love party member! And I, Lu Chaoge, would rather starve to death outside or jump off this cliff than sell myself."

"Fufu doesn't understand what you're saying. According to data analysis, engaging in this business, both in terms of status and income, is better than what you're currently doing as a mercenary. Fufu doesn't understand this and is confused about it."

As Fu Fu spoke, she even generated a virtual diagram for Lu Chaoge, on which risks, benefits, and social status were analyzed and represented by data.

But Lu Chaoge didn't want to look at it at all; to him, this was not a viewpoint that data could change.

"You don't understand, that's right, because I'm human. And no matter what kind of magical girls you've been with before, don't compare me to them! I'll find a way to make money myself, okay, that's all." After Lu Chaoge finished speaking, he climbed into bed. He didn't want to argue with the other person anymore.

Fu Fu floated alone in the air above the room for a long time.

After a long while, a mechanical voice rang out in the small room.

"Master, not all magical girls are strong. Some of them are even weaker than ordinary people. In the current world, many normal people cannot find jobs. The survival of magical girls who are oppressed will only be more difficult. They can only live underground and do the most basic jobs to survive."

Lu Chaoge lay on the bed with her back to Fufu, without saying a word.

His expression was unusually silent; his identity as a magical girl was one factor, but his nervous system had also been modified by the company's programming.

At that moment, his heart was pounding wildly, and Lu Chaoge even wondered if he might die on the spot.

"Master, even you haven't found a job."

No, why am I involved?

Lu Chaoge couldn't sleep anymore this time and couldn't help but get up to reply, "Who said I don't have a job? I'm a mercenary! I earned 30 today!"

"Master, being a mercenary is really no different from being unemployed. You may earn 30 today, but you may only earn the same 30 next month."

"...Stop talking, stop talking."

"Master, I'm not asking you to work in the service industry. I just want to correct your viewpoint. Magical girls are people too, and they need to survive!"

"I also want to correct you, you cyber idiot. I'm not prejudiced; I'm just uncomfortable!"

Seeing Lu Chaoge's somewhat annoyed expression, Fu Fu's mechanical head spun around 360 degrees, still puzzled.

"Why? Master, you're clearly this poor."

"Damn it, this has nothing to do with whether I'm poor or not, it's about whether you think this is right! Why, with technology so advanced, does this world still require people to sell themselves to survive! Why do people have to eat that nutritional paste every day! I'm not just talking about magical girls."

"Isn't that right?"

"Is that right?"

"Isn't that right?"

"Is this fucking right?"

The man and the beast stared at each other for a long time.

Both of them understood that, in the end, it was still a problem caused by a lack of money.

Then, Lu Chaoge suddenly thought of something and made a suggestion.

"How about... we start a live stream?"

--------

District 43, Ruian Technology.

Unlike the chaotic and dirty underground city, the environment above ground is very clean and tidy, a true futuristic city symbolizing civilization and technology.

In a prestigious conference room in a high-rise building, a voice as raging as thunder rang out.

"Damn it! How dare you put the chip inside the magic cube! How dare you!"

The man in the main seat was furious. He leaned forward, and under the light, his shadow became oppressive and enormous.

His gaze swept over everyone present with a gloomy expression.

The company's stock price plummeted, tax evasion allegations were already driving him mad, and now he's even lost a valuable brain-computer interface chip containing top-level data.

After he had been cursing for half an hour, someone finally spoke up, albeit tremblingly.

"Boss, we have backups of the chip data, and that backup is from Unit-01. It failed over 200 times and the company no longer uses it. We have the more advanced 3rd generation Owl..."

"Say that again! Don't think I won't scold you just because your mother is my mistress!"

Seeing the other person lower their head in a disheveled state, the man's expression softened somewhat, but it remained gloomy.

Are chips important?

It's important, and it's not important.

It's not important because although the first-generation chip was powerful, it was abandoned long ago because it could never be successfully developed. So it was given to Silverlimb Technology so that they could use the data inside to develop new gadgets.

The company now has three generations of Xiao, with a higher success rate and a more complete system.

The key point is that the data inside is invaluable; it's the ultimate weapon their company is developing, and he's certain it's one of the most cutting-edge combat weapons for the next ten, or even decades.

Those few insignificant mercenaries have no chance of breaking through a company-level defense system.

There is clearly someone else behind this situation.

His anger stemmed from the fact that if this data fell into the hands of the company's enemies, all their efforts would be in vain.

But right now...

He just wanted to give those idiots a good scolding; it felt so good to curse them out!

"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?" the BOSS asked.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. Who dared to speak up? You have no intention of solving the problem; you're just here to insult people.

After another ten minutes of yelling, the boss finally got tired and shook his hands.

"Go find that chip, investigate it. Do I have to teach you? This data must not be leaked!"

"Boss, that chip is lost in the dungeon, it's extremely difficult to find, and there's probably no one who can install it..." a woman cautiously advised.

"Fuck your mother! Don't think I won't curse you just because your husband is my mother's mistress!"
