Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"I……"

Yu Huan subconsciously wanted to refute the question, but when she saw the stern faces of the two people in front of her, she inexplicably felt as if she had done something wrong and was speechless. She immediately lowered her head slightly, completely losing her previous domineering attitude, just like a little girl facing her parents after doing something wrong.

"I...I'm very good!"

After a small explanation, the two brothers glared at her again, and Yu Huan instantly shrank her head again. For a moment, none of the three spoke again. However, Yu Huan, who lowered her head and didn't know why she felt guilty, didn't notice that the two brothers who were originally glaring at her were looking at each other at some point. Although they didn't say anything, their eyes expressed the same meaning at the same time: become stronger!

They were supposed to protect Yuhuan, but they ended up being protected by Yuhuan instead, and this wasn't the first time... After witnessing Yuhuan's power, the two realized that the three Thousand Needle Beasts were probably not dealt with by Honggu. In other words, as they said before... Yuhuan was really their savior, and this time was the second time!

They were obviously two boys, but now they were saved twice by a little girl. The dignity of the two men who were raised by their sister felt severely damaged. There was a faint light flickering in their ugly eyes, as if they had made some decision at this moment.

"Let's go buy groceries!"

Of course, Yu Huan didn't know what decision the two brothers had made, so when Cai Xiaoxiao's voice sounded in his ears a while later, as gentle as before, Yu Huan hurriedly nodded. Then the three of them strode towards the vegetable market, still talking and laughing along the way, as if what had happened before had not happened!

……

They accompanied Yuhuan to buy food for the whole afternoon, and finally sent Yuhuan back to Honggu's house in the evening. Then they agreed to invite Yuhuan to their home the next day and left together.

"..."

The atmosphere was a little heavy along the way. The two brothers walked for a long time without speaking first. When the red house was no longer in sight, Cai Xiaoxiao, who was the leader, suddenly spoke:

"We were raised by our older sister... She's protected us since we were little, even now that we're trainee scavengers!"

This inexplicable remark made Cai Xiaohou suddenly clench his fists, his face extremely ugly. However, Cai Xiaoxiao continued as if he hadn't noticed:

"It's okay that I've always been protected by my sister. When I encountered the strange beast during the assessment, it was Xiao Huan who saved me. Today, too, we... couldn't help at all!"

In an extremely calm tone, completely different from the surging emotions in his eyes, Cai Xiaoxiao turned to look at his brother, who was forbearing, and said:

"So... you know what I want to say?"

"Become stronger!"

Cai Xiaohou answered without hesitation:

"I want to become stronger, strong enough to protect my sister, protect... my little sister Xiaohuan!"

Fate is a very wonderful thing. Although they had only known Xiao Huan for less than a few hours, both Cai Xiaohou and Cai Xiaoxiao had already regarded her as a real sister. In response to Cai Xiaohou's words, Cai Xiaoxiao nodded calmly and then said:

"These few days... let's go scavenging, work hard to make money, and then... go to the Scavenger Academy!"

Although they have passed the assessment and become scavengers, scavenging is undoubtedly a dangerous path for low-level scavengers like them. For this reason, they originally planned to become a low-level scavenger like Bai Shitou after receiving the genetic medicine and live safely in this small deserted village with Cai Xiaolin. However, what happened today undoubtedly aroused another idea in the hearts of the two brothers!

13. What’s the point of learning magic if you don’t have money?

The little oath made by the two brothers under the moonlight was buried in their hearts in the silence that followed. Then they returned home as if nothing had happened and reported to Cai Xiaolin that they had safely sent Yu Huan back to Honggu's home. As for the fight that happened during the day, in order not to worry Cai Xiaolin, the two brothers did not say much, and the night passed peacefully.

On the other side, after putting the vegetables and meat into the refrigerator, because Honggu had not come back yet, Yu Huan, who had nothing to do, simply returned to his temporary bedroom, took off his shoes, and practiced magic that he had never used before on the bed!

During her first magical modification, she modified two items in total: the Magical Device Heart of the Rising Sun and the Belt of Kamen Rider Kuuga!

Because of her own preference and her inexplicably strong physical qualities, Yuhuan has been fighting with Kuga's armor for a week. However, this does not mean that she does not care about the Heart of the Rising Sun. In fact, if you exclude the embarrassing costume of transforming into a magical girl, Yuhuan herself is still very interested in magic!

Like Starlight Explosion or something like that...

"Heart of the Rising Sun, mode switch!"

Yu Huan held the red ball in his hand. As the command was given, a female electronic voice came out from it:

"Normal mode (Device mode), start!"

The next second after the command was issued, a cherry-pink light enveloped the red bead. When the light faded, a pink and white magic wand with a golden semicircle on top appeared in Yu Huan's hand. Holding the magic wand, which was about half a meter long, Yu Huan opened the system and asked with a hint of anticipation:

"System, can I use magic?"

To this, the system gave an answer almost immediately:

"Master, the gift of this body of yours is set to be omnipotent, so theoretically you can use both magic and supernatural powers!"

It was a surprising answer, but Yu Huan's face showed no excitement at all, and he even said with a blank expression:

"But what is the reality?"

"Even so, your body currently doesn't have any magical power, so you can't use magic for the time being!"

"I knew it would be like this, system, you really are tricking me!"

Although he was prepared in his heart, Yu Huan couldn't help but grumble a little, and then asked:

"Then how can I use magic?"

The system’s answer to this is also very simple:

'Meditation practice!'

"How do I practice meditation?"

"Ding~~"

The system did not directly answer Yu Huan's question. Instead, with a slight sound, the originally light blue system split into two, forming two system interfaces:

'Basic Magic Training Manual, Value: 33,800 Spirit Coins!'

Non-European Ten-Strike Reward List: Elementary Magic Training Manual (Obtainability: 12.5%!)

There are two very simple methods. The first is to buy; the second is to draw!

"..."

Looking at the large rotating disc on the screen in front of him, and then glancing at the Basic Magic Training Manual in the mall, which had a spirit coin value of 100,000, Yu Huan finally looked at his total spirit coin amount: 33,800. Yu Huan looked at the system with a gloomy look in his eyes, his tone full of accusation:

"Why is a basic training manual so expensive? System, are you sure you're not maliciously inflating the price?"

After working himself to death to hunt exotic beasts in the ruins for a week, his total savings were only over 30,000 yuan. This was because Yu Huan had never used the repair and modification tools much other than for food, and he had never used the magic modification tool once. However, with such a large amount of savings, he now found that he could not even afford the most basic training manual in the mall. This feeling was really uncomfortable!

However, she was upset, but the system clearly did not show favoritism:

"Master, this system is called the Scavenger System. The items in the mall are basically auxiliary. The real function is to help you scavenge better!"

In other words, it is reasonable for the mall to be expensive, because it is not prepared for its owner. After all, what is the most important thing about scavenging?

The answer is: Be self-reliant!

"..."

Angrily taking back the Heart of the Rising Sun, which was temporarily unusable, and then fiercely closing the shop door, Yu Huan immediately lay on the pillow and didn't want to talk. However, at this time, the system took the initiative to come up and said:

"Master, you can also participate in the lottery!"

Only four thousand spirit coins per time, that’s a bargain!

To this Yu Huan only replied with two words: "Haha!"

If she had initially been full of anticipation for the lottery, then after a week, she was now completely hopeless... The non-Ou lottery, to her, was clearly all non-Ou, with no Ou at all. And the proof of this was the pile of junk props still in the system space!

Having a powerful magic device but unable to use it, Yu Huan temporarily gave up the dangerous idea of ​​transforming into a magical girl when no one was around. After just putting away the Heart of the Rising Sun, she heard Hong Gu's voice coming from downstairs.

"Come here~"

He jumped off the bed and went downstairs. Honggu, who had already taken off all his clothes and was wearing an apron, started to prepare dinner. To be honest, it was really eye-catching to see a burly uncle wearing a cute apron. However, Yuhuan didn't care. He greeted Honggu and sat down at the dining table obediently to prepare for dinner.

"Did you have a fight today?"

Not talking while eating, not talking while sleeping... That's obviously not the style of a scavenger. So when Yu Huan heard Hong Gu's question while still eating, he nodded immediately and uttered incoherent words from his mouth full of meat:

"Jingtian Youren... Big sister, I'll... Bata is gone!"

"Really? You're not hurt?"

Yu Huan shook his head decisively. How could this guy, who posed almost no threat and couldn't even withstand a punch from him before he transformed, possibly hurt him?

"Really, that's good!"

Nodding slightly, Honggu stopped asking and turned to tell Yuhuan something else:

"I've already given that half of the Thousand Needle Gun to the Scavengers' Alliance. The valuation will take a week. Exactly one week from now, the Scavengers' Academy exam will begin. I've registered you. Then you can take the exam and learn how to become a scavenger!"

Although being a scavenger is not something that can be achieved just by being strong, strength is undoubtedly the most indispensable thing for a scavenger. In view of Yu Huan's strength, Hong Gu has never worried about whether she can pass the exam. Yu Huan nodded excitedly at this. She is very much looking forward to going to school!

"In that case, since I don't have any missions recently, I'll just teach you some basic knowledge about scavengers this week!"

Although he had known Yu Huan for a short time, Yu Huan's face was too deceptive. A face that looked harmless and innocent gave people a feeling that they couldn't just leave it alone. Moreover, Yu Huan was his savior after all, so Hong Gu had already put himself in the position of a true "uncle" and was working hard to arrange the future for his little niece.

"Yeah, yeah, I'll study hard!"

Yu Huan naturally had no objection to Honggu's arrangement. He nodded immediately, and then suddenly asked as if he suddenly remembered something:

"Can I find someone to study with?"

She didn't forget that when they were chatting this afternoon, Cai Xiaoxiao said that he and Cai Xiaohou were both first-year students at the Scavenger Academy, that is, trainee scavengers, and now they were facing the problem of having no money to study. Since Honggu wanted to teach her, it would be a good idea for Yu Xiangxiang to just call him over to study together!

"Hmm? Looking for someone? Who?"

Although Honggu was sure that someone had caused trouble for Yuhuan until today, she was obviously unaware of Yuhuan's experience in the afternoon. When she heard her words, she immediately asked curiously. Yuhuan did not hide anything and directly told Honggu about what happened in the afternoon. After she finished speaking, she saw a slight smile on Honggu's face:

"Well, Monkey and Xiao Xiao, these two brothers are really good. They are talented and good people. It's really a pity to interrupt their studies. If you want, tell them tomorrow and they will go to class with you in the morning from now on!"

"Yeah, thank you, uncle!"

After thanking him joyfully and saying everything that needed to be said, Yu Huan returned to his room after dinner and fell into a sweet dream hugging his little pillow!

……

The next day, when Yu Huan told Cai Xiaoxiao and the other two about this matter, the two brothers were immediately ecstatic. For them, being able to receive instruction from Uncle Honggu was simply a godsend. After thanking Yu Huan profusely, they hurriedly prepared their own teaching materials, fearing that they would miss something or waste time. Compared to their anxious looks, Yu Huan was a lot more relaxed. After all, Uncle Honggu said that he would prepare everything for her, so she didn't have to worry at all!

"Sister Xiaolin isn't going?"

While the two brothers were still packing up, Yu Huan came to Cai Xiaolin and asked. Although Cai Xiaolin obviously didn't intend to go, Yu Huan saw the envy that flashed across her eyes. It was obvious that Cai Xiaolin didn't want to go, but had other reasons. After Yu Huan asked, Cai Xiaolin did not hide anything and immediately said:

"Xiao Huan, study hard. I'm too weak to go!"

There is no distinction between male and female scavengers. Cai Xiaolin once applied for the Scavenger Academy together with Cai Xiaoxiao and Cai Xiaohou. However, they were eliminated after only the first test. That first test is also Cai Xiaolin’s biggest weakness now: she is too weak!

Scavengers not only have to face the harsh environment in the ruins, but also have to have the physique to escape from the clutches of strange beasts and natural disasters. Therefore, physical fitness is undoubtedly the most important thing. Otherwise, the scavengers will not evaluate the level of scavengers by their physical strength. Cai Xiaolin was destined to be a scavenger from the beginning because of her born weak body. When she heard Yu Huan's invitation at this time, although she was very moved, due to her physical condition, she immediately chose to refuse wisely in order not to cause trouble for Yu Huan.

People should be content with what they have. It is a great favor that Yuhuan can bring her two younger brothers to study together. Cai Xiaolin will naturally not ask for more. Not only that, after rejecting Yuhuan, Cai Xiaolin also specifically reminded the two brothers to study hard and not disturb Yuhuan. If Lord Honggu has any dissatisfaction, the two of them must give up studying immediately. No matter what, they must not let them affect the relationship between Yuhuan and Honggu!

The two brothers naturally agreed to this, and then, led by Yu Huan, the three of them walked towards Honggu's house together.

"Are you here? Sit down first!"

After returning home, Yu Huan walked in quite casually, but the two brothers followed her slowly with a sense of restraint. After seeing Hong Gu, the two of them almost subconsciously tensed their bodies, with a solemn look on their faces like new recruits being inspected. After hearing Hong Gu's words, Yu Huan sat down on a chair beside her without saying a word, but the two of them stood straight and dared not move. It was not until a long time later when they saw that Hong Gu had no other instructions that they sat down stiffly!

After all, Honggu is the village's number one scavenger, a big shot that even the village chief has to show respect to. Yu Huan is fine in front of him, but the two brothers who grew up in the village obviously have a great deal of psychological awe in him.

Hong Gu obviously didn't take their awe seriously. When he saw the three of them sitting down, he took out a pre-prepared booklet and placed it in front of Yu Huan. However, he didn't start teaching Yu Huan directly. Instead, he looked at Cai Xiaoxiao and the others and said,

"Xiao Xiao and Xiao Hou, you are now also official scavengers who have graduated from the first grade, right?"

"Yes, Lord Hongya!"

After hearing Hong Gu's words, Cai Xiaoxiao immediately responded:

"We expect the acquired genetic medicine to be available the day after tomorrow. Then we can apply for scavenging missions!"

Hearing this, Honggu nodded slightly:

"I saw your results during your previous assessments. They were all above the excellent level. Do you plan to continue studying?"

Honggu was naturally well aware of the two's predicament, but despite this, he still asked this question. Cai Cai Xiaoxiao paused for a moment, then looked at Yu Huan, who was curiously flipping through the manual. Then he raised his head and nodded firmly with Cai Xiaohou behind him.

"Yes, Master Honggu, we plan to take on a scavenger mission before enrollment starts, and use the money we earn to continue our studies!"

They had originally given up, but just last night, the two brothers had obviously changed their minds!

"very good!"

Seeing the determined look in the eyes of the two young men, Hong Gu's mighty face also showed a faint smile:

"In that case, study hard in the next few days. Feel free to ask me any questions you have!"

These two are good seedlings, and most importantly, they have good personalities. It wouldn't be a big deal for Hong Gu to give some guidance to Yu Huan while guiding him. Anyway, he has nothing to do recently, so:

"Then this way, it will be easier for people of the same age to communicate. During this time, you will teach Xiao Huan the basic knowledge of scavengers in the morning and teach her self-study. If you have any questions, you can always ask me. In the afternoon, I will teach you some physical skills and fighting techniques. In a week's time for Xiao Huan's assessment... you will be her teammates!"

Hearing this, before the two of them finished speaking, Yu Huan on the side suddenly raised his head curiously:

"Fighting skills? Can I learn them?"

Hearing this, the two brothers didn't say anything, but Honggu twitched his mouth and decisively refused!

"no!"

Yu Huan immediately pouted in dissatisfaction!
