Regarding the fact that my best friend is a magical girl

Since they are all magical girls from Changkong City, it's reasonable for Terra to group them together.

Teacher Bai Ze squinted and smiled, "Wow? Is the experience of the mind network this realistic?"

"It's all fake, even reality is fake, you all know that already, right?"

Moreover, they had all been told the truth about the new world and understood the significance of the existence of the mind network, so they did not reject its use.

"Oh!"

Suddenly remembering something, Yang Yan asked, "No matter what we say here, Mi Xue won't hear us, right?"

"Of course, the interaction here takes place inside the Earth's crystal and has nothing to do with the Great Will."

"Since that's the case, I have something to say!"

"Ok?"

"Since this world is an illusion, there's absolutely no issue with capacity, right?"

"Um……"

That's true. The new world's capacity is definitely sufficient. The continued implementation of the light-dark balance theory is ultimately about accumulating experience for the new world.

Even that girl, in her heart, still wants to move forward, right?

It's just that I'm afraid of failure that I've been hesitant to move forward.

"It's definitely enough!"

Yang Yan said indignantly, "Ever since I found out this world is fake, I've been thinking about it! In the old world, Jira and I worked odd jobs everywhere and didn't have much money. Now that we're in this fake new world, we're still working non-stop! There are so many resources that everyone could live a good life, but I'm still working..."

Miluno was still singing on stage, while the working class in the audience were making tearful accusations.

"It would be better to go back to the old world! At least the money earned there was real money, not cryptocurrency!"

Chapter 454 Watching My Own Performance

(Cerunno)

Although the words are rough, the principle is sound; what Yangyan said actually makes a lot of sense.

The virtual new world is ultimately illusory and leaves no real trace. The twelve simulations that have already passed have also left no indication of their existence, not even in my memory.

on the contrary……

"No matter how terrible the new world is, it's still a step forward."

As I muttered this, Yang Yan hooked his arm around mine and chimed in, "Yeah! It doesn't matter if we still have to work!"

"So, what should we do?"

Ms. Bai Ze also said, "Even if we know the truth, there's nothing we can do. Many former magical girls are anxious because of this... Unlike in the past, gods are not tangible beings, so we can't defeat them simply by force, right?"

In this virtual world, it is impossible to defeat Michelle.

It might not even be possible to do in reality.

I replied, "This concert is a battle, and I need the people's faith."

"What should we do in a world where our strength has declined?"

"Waiting for the right opportunity."

The closer Miluno's size is to Michelle's, the greater our chances of winning.

However, Michelle's plan is also closer to completion, and we may not be able to stop it in time.

So I'm waiting for that fleeting, perfect moment.

But before that, we need to find a way to contact Miluno. Although she can send us text messages, we still can't contact her on our own initiative. She's like someone who throws notes out of a prison window, but we can't throw notes in.

Sigh, I finally got out of Michelle's cage, but now Miluno has been locked up again.

That girl really loves to break us up.

"Serno, your solo performance has begun."

Yang Yan gently touched my forehead.

I looked up and watched my data clone slowly walk onto the stage under the spotlight...

An unfamiliar, dynamic, and rhythmic melody began to play, unlike any song from the rehearsals. Earth Crystal had taken over the control panel, and we could now decide which songs to play.

However, I am no longer in those minutes.

It was a "brain cell" within the consciousness of the Earth Crystal Cluster. Without telling anyone else, it suddenly started singing English rap while watching itself on stage.

Yang Yan, standing beside him, immediately asked in surprise, "Eh? You can rap too!?"

“...Um, um.”

I don't know how to explain it; my English is obviously not that good either.

Thinking about it carefully, the collective consciousness of Earth Crystal gathers so many consciousnesses from ancient and modern times, both East and West, that it wouldn't be unacceptable if there were even native English-speaking rappers among them.

The moment the song started playing, it immediately attracted attention online. This novel singing style, unlike anything before, not only surprised people, but even I was completely bewildered...

Lip-syncing is really effective.

Regardless, rhyming and rhythmic rap can indeed stir people's emotions, and the online voting has once again tilted in my favor.

"Amazing! But also a little scary, it's like he's become a completely different person."

As another song ended, Yang Yan's unintentional remark came true once again.

Can I win the title of leader of the Galaxy group by relying on this versatile style of lip-syncing?

However, when Miluno stood on the stage again, I almost found the answer.

"Tsk, so I guess I've been used by them?"

The original live stream couldn't showcase the lighting effects and stage setup, so we created this new "Thinking Network Live Streaming Room".

Having solved our viewing experience problem, Milno directly used the power of Sirius to put on a spectacular light and shadow magic show for the audience, complete with singing...

If the previous humming was an auditory feast, this can only be described as an audiovisual feast.

It's a treat for the audience, but for me it's just a hassle. This time, just rapping isn't enough to win me...

"Sister Terra, we need to increase the dosage!"

Now is not the time to leisurely watch the concert. In order to deal with Michelle and Serino's reactions, I returned to the ocean of consciousness of the Earth Crystal.

But how do we do it?

She put one hand on my shoulder and the other hand on my face, lifting my chin.

"We can't influence reality, so we can't put on a light show like that. At most, we can use the mind network to create some fake special effects, but only those who are watching using the mind network can see them..."

Even self-deceptive mental effects can't compare to Milno and Sirius.

"How is the coverage of the mind network? Of those who watched the concert, how many have connected to our network?"

"Sixty percent is still not high compared to the total population, but the number of viewers watching the concert through the mind network has reached as high as 80%..."

"Wait, you mean half the world's population is watching this concert?"

"No, 60% are just people who have opened the mind network interface. The number of people watching the concert is not that many. Not everyone cares about... uh, idols?"

Indeed, while it was a world-shaking event for us, for most people it was just a concert with a bit of hype.

In other words, there are still many people who don't know who Miluno and I are...

Can the voting results for this concert truly represent everyone's wishes?

As I thought, Terra added, "In fact, what we're after isn't a victory in the captaincy election, but rather gaining people's faith so that the radiance of positive emotions flows here."

Because of the previous sealing, the positive emotions of the new world are monopolized by Miluno. As long as we can consume most of the positive emotions and make the size of the Earth Crystal surpass the Great Will before Miluno's size exceeds hers, then both she and Miluno will lose their powers as the main system. Michelle's plan will then fail, and the plan to reverse time will be out of the question.

Therefore, I need to make myself more popular.

"Previous promotions were targeted at audiences currently watching the concert. Is there a way to involve audiences who are not watching the concert this time?"

Terra's thoughts flowed in the blink of an eye.

"You can't reveal the truth? You can't let everyone hate you, right?"

"Of course, I hope to become everyone's idol!"

Although I'm a little shy, the original meaning of an idol is an object of faith!

So there's nothing wrong with me saying that!

"If you don't mind doing something bad, I have a way."

"Ok?"

"Can we do what that little girl did?"

"You mean..."

Miss Terra grabbed my head and shook it, making a clanging sound inside.

"To cleanse the minds of ignorant mortals."

Chapter 455 Online Marketing

(Cerunno)

"No, I object."

I immediately rejected Miss Terra's plan.

"Moral fastidiousness won't get you anywhere, especially when your opponent is unethical..."

"No, my role as the unified will is to organize the Earth Crystal to do this. Didn't you say that I only need to be responsible for the emotional part?"

Interfering with people's will is absolutely not something a god should do.

"Only free will can give birth to emotions as nourishment, right? Can the faith of a puppet on a string still be called faith?"

Miss Terra continued to try to persuade her: "Serno, these mistakes can be corrected as long as we win. Let's win first, okay? It only requires a slight manipulation of people's thoughts, getting them to accept the thought network, and making them more inclined to side with you..."

Miluno on stage probably thought the same thing, right?
