Revolution, Cyber ​​Magical Girl!

Lu Chaoge looked into the void before her.

After absorbing the 'civilization data', the illusory panel underwent a unique change.

Name: Lu Chaoge

[Mecha Identity: Magical Girl - Codename Iris]

[System Status: Severely damaged, system incomplete, performance below 20%, please repair as soon as possible]

[Consciousness Return: 40% (No collectable civilization data detected)]

Looking at the 40% figure, Lu Chaoge seemed to be deep in thought.

He had a strong feeling that if the previous observations hadn't been interrupted, could this number have gone up even further? Could it have even filled the entire number?

No, we can't think about those things now, lest we attract the attention of the security bureau.

Lu Chaoge turned his attention to the newly appeared content on it.

Damaged and incomplete, this probably refers to the flower of the heart.

The heart flower belonging to the magical girl iris is severely damaged, so even if Lu Chaoge transforms, she cannot use her full strength.

Otherwise, if Lu Chaoge had the strength he possessed before Iris Peanut, he wouldn't need to hide like this. He could have easily taken over the company and become the king of the land long ago.

With a wave of his hand, he revealed the heart-shaped gem that symbolized the life of a magical girl. Its surface was covered with dense cracks, and even though he had injected magical essence into it many times, it still did not improve.

Furthermore, even if he does nothing and doesn't transform, the flower of the heart still slowly emanates magic.

Repair it, repair it? Does the system really need to remind me? Lu Chaoge wanted to repair this thing more than anyone else.

According to Fu Fu, just relying on injecting magic essence to build up that would require an astronomical amount of money.

System, you're a district, a district within a district!

Lu Chaoge cursed inwardly for about five minutes before the virtual panel in front of him suddenly began to flicker.

Huh? The system got cursed to death by itself?

The virtual panel flickered for a moment, and then a line of text slowly appeared.

Based on the local computing power, the following three repair solutions were derived.

[1. In "My Magical Girl Can't Be This Cute," the protagonist engages in reproductive acts with a magical girl. As is well known, magic can be replenished through bodily fluids, and this act can greatly accelerate the accumulation of magic. Only 1240 reproductive acts are needed to push the Heart Flower to its peak state.]

[2. In "Rebirth: I Am a Cyber ​​Business Tycoon," the Heart Flower can be restored to its undamaged state by spending only 67982 Magic Essence.]

[3. "I Use Technology to Push Magic" 20 grams of KIO520 solution can repair the Heart Flower, restoring it to a leak-free state.]

Lu Chaoge stood silently in place, staring intently at the plans.

Although the first option seems to offer the greatest improvement, but...

As we all know, magic, bodily fluids, and mana replenishment.

1240 times!

What kind of magical girl are you, you bastard?! Even if I knelt down and became a magical girl like Star Wrath, I couldn't do that much!

A business tycoon? 6? You might as well sell me. Are you even worth that much?

So the last point, that K520 solution, seems to be something I can get my hands on? And it can repair the Heart Flower to be leak-free.

Lu Chaoge didn't ask for anything else, she just hoped that the Flower of the Heart would stop overflowing with magic power, because magic essence was really expensive.

but……

He stared at the three options and thought about them carefully.

No leaks, no damage, the pinnacle.

The 6 RMB cost is based on repairing the product from its current state. If I first use the K520 to repair it until there are no leaks, and then repair it until there is no damage, I don't think I would need 6 RMB.

Once repaired to its original state and free of damage, it will return to its peak condition, so it probably won't need to reproduce 1240 times... Wait, what am I thinking?

In short, the three options provided by the system, while seemingly allowing users to choose, are actually a complete repair process.

If I could restore the Heart Flower to its peak, even if I only had 80% of the Iris Flower's strength, it would be enough for me to dominate the region.

He first searched online, but found nothing.

This thing isn't sold on official websites; it's a high-end military product and cannot be purchased by individuals.

So he turned his attention to the black market and searched for K520 solution.

【K520 Adhesive: A powerful molecular compound for repairing fusion energy cores, primarily used for routine repairs of high-end armor and small cores in energy stations. One bottle contains 100g and costs 620 RMB. Price is non-negotiable.】

620@?

Lu Chaoge was taken aback for a moment, but then he remembered that he only needed 20g, so after calculation, he concluded that he needed 124g.

Even so, this is still not something Lu Chaoge can afford.

If there are normal purchasing channels, the normal price of 20g of the mixture should not exceed 50 yuan.

Because individuals do not have the authority to purchase this high-tech material, its price on the black market is often higher than through official channels.

Lu Chaoge thought for a while and decided to save money first.

Whether through official channels or the black market, I currently only have 8.5 @.

Lu Chaoge refreshed the mercenary section of the black market again and again, but apart from the high-hanging 3000@magical girl bounty, he couldn't find a single mission he could accept.

[Mission: Eliminate the guard dog of the owner of house number 23 in the Anding District and put Coke and Mentos down his drain. Mission reward: 0.56]

[Task: My brother's funeral is tomorrow. Two people need to dress up as Fu Rui. My brother had a thing for this kind of thing. Task amount: 0.3]

[Mission: Arrange a fight with those idiots from the Big O gang tomorrow. Send someone to back you up. Mission reward: 0.9]

Looking at these tasks that were less than 1@, Lu Chaoge was about to go crazy.

The key issue is that he couldn't even get one.

Just as Lu Chaoge was about to give up, Metis sent him a message, having run out of ideas.

[Metis: Old Deng, are you grinding missions or something?]

[Lu: Who the hell is Old Deng? And are you spying on me?]

[Metis: I'm just being cautious to prevent anyone from hacking into us. Anyway, I have a lot of online channels. I can help you land a big order. Are you up for the job?]

As long as there's money, there's no task Lu Chaoge wouldn't take on.

He originally thought Metis would find him a quest with a reward of around 10, or at most 20 or 30 – which was already a very high reward in the dungeon.

But he never expected this order to be worth 100!

Are you kidding me? 100@.

[Lu: Dungeons have quests of this level?]

[Metis: Dungeon quests are all trash, only 10 points per life. This quest is above ground, and the lives of company dogs are precious.]

Area 43 above ground?

Lu Chaoge then clearly saw the details of the mission.

[Mission Objective: Infiltrate and assassinate. Count to room 2301 in the hotel. Target: Female]

The mission details were compiled using coded language. Lu Chaoge only understood them after Metis cracked them. The description was very brief; it was simply about killing someone.

The mission takes place in an underground city.

The assassination target was shrouded in mystery; even their name was not revealed.

[Metis: I'll handle the security check for you. You just go ahead and kill. But I have one request: I need to buy a set of RAM sticks!]

Lu Chaoge automatically ignored the other party's request to buy memory sticks.

He only has eyes for 100@.

Once you earn these 100@, you can repair the Flower of the Heart.

I won't have to pay extra magic essence every month, which will save me a lot of money.

It's like an ordinary person paying off their mortgage and seeing a significant improvement in their quality of life.

To prepare for this 100@, Lu Chaoge immediately began making preparations.

He found an abandoned warehouse, and after transforming, can after can of magic essence turned into magic bullets in his hands.

One bullet requires two cans of magic essence, and one shot deals 4 damage.

Including the remaining magic essence and 8@, Lu Chaoge produced a total of three bullets.

That's enough!

Looking at the broken and faded flower of the heart, Lu Chaoge sighed.

He couldn't help but ask, "Fufu, haven't there been any magical girls like me before? How were they repaired?"

Fu Fu shook her head and replied, "Of course there are, Master, but there used to be disaster beasts in this world. Magical girls could gain energy by killing disaster beasts, so overall it was profitable."

"Furthermore, defeating the calamity beasts is very beneficial to magical girls, allowing them to become stronger. Master, have you ever played games? It's like fighting monsters and leveling up!"

"Back then, magical girls were highly respected; they were heroes who saved the world..."

Fu Fu seemed to have opened a floodgate of words, babbling on and on about the past, that golden age it longed for.

But Lu Chaoge knew that things were no longer the same.

A kind of being corresponding to magical girls—a calamity beast.

However, in this day and age, the calamity beasts have long since disappeared.

It didn't gradually disappear; rather, one day it suddenly vanished from the face of history.

But that's normal.

After all, even magical girls have become mere commodities for capital, and even monsters are no match for powerful weapons.
