Just a magical girl who picks up trash

'How do you know what I'm thinking?'

"My innocent little girl, haven't you noticed that all your thoughts are written on the page?"

Yu Huan never hides her thoughts. In other words, she is not good at lying. When she is thinking to herself, her eyes seem to be able to speak and express her thoughts. Anyone with a little experience can easily see through her thoughts.

"..."

Regarding Xiao Hei's claim that he was simple but actually too naive, Yu Huan was silent for two seconds, then changed the subject and said:

"So how's your contact going?"

"It's healed already!"

He didn't pay attention to Yu Huan's change of subject. After all, he still had to pamper his sister and not provoke her. So, following Yu Huan's words, Xiao Hei nodded immediately:

"Even though that guy was just a low-ranking official, he was at least one of the top ten leaders in Tianta City. I just contacted him, and he readily gave me a guarantee!"

At this point, Xiao Hei couldn't help but reveal a faint smile on his face. It was obvious that the assurance he got from the other party after the "friendly negotiation" with the other party was very satisfactory!

"What guarantee?"

Seeing Xiao Hei's expression and smile that said "I'm so awesome", Yu Huan immediately asked curiously.

"After discussion, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons has now been included as one of the special events of the Freshman Festival. As long as you can complete this task, Tianta City will directly qualify your team for the finals and send you directly to the high-level competition venue in Tianta City without any points. To put it bluntly, we don't need to work hard to earn points here, we can go directly to the upper levels of Tianta City and wait for the finals to begin!"

After a pause, this was certainly not all the benefits. After all, Xiao Hei knew that Yu Huan was only participating in the Freshman Festival for fun, so this alone was not enough to make Xiao Hei so happy. What really made her happy was actually the other three rewards given by Tianta City besides these virtual surprises:

"In addition to this, Tianta City will also pay you three rewards as compensation!"

Xiao Hei stretched out three fingers and said:

"The first reward is a printed copy from the Skynet Library... I don't need to explain what the library is, right? It's the continent's most comprehensive database, and you can find virtually any information you need. While this copy isn't as comprehensive, it inherits most of the library's functions to some extent. At least it will provide you with great convenience in searching for information!"

He retracted one of his three fingers and continued:

"Then the second reward is a material one. Originally, they wanted you to go to the Sky Tower Treasure House and choose a piece of equipment as a reward. However, I remember you said that obtaining spirit coins requires materials rich in energy value to be converted (exchanged), right? So after discussion, this was changed to giving you a large amount of energy crystals and magic ore. As for the quantity... we'll discuss it in person after you resolve the incident!"

"And the third one... You should know that the core of Tianta City is not this huge steel city in front of you, but a giant floating tower, right?"

At this point, Xiao Hei didn't seem to tell Yu Huan directly what it was, but instead said so suddenly. Yu Huan nodded immediately. In fact, after coming to Tianta City, she had also made up for the knowledge in this area. Naturally, she had some understanding of the general situation of Tianta City. Of course, although she knew it, she didn't know as much as Xiao Hei.

"The lower level of Tianta City is the civilian area. As the name suggests, it's specifically for those with low-level abilities, ordinary people, or lesser-known scientists. To put it bluntly, it's like a retirement area. Above that is the true elite area. Getting there is practically impossible except for outsiders like us."

Xiao Hei stretched out his hand and pointed upwards, forming an upper and lower hierarchy with his hands:

"To put it simply, Tianta City is a tower, just like its name suggests. This is not just about the building itself, but also about the hierarchy itself, which is planned based on the tower: the top and the bottom are clearly defined, and the division of labor is clear!"

"And naturally, because of this arrangement, the higher the towers go, the more developed and powerful they are, especially the three towers at the top... Okay, we'll talk about that later. For now, let's just talk about the present. After all I've said, have you guessed what the third reward is?"

"...a tower?"

Yu Huan's tone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

"...Wake up, what are you dreaming about in broad daylight?"

Xiao Hei looked at Yu Huan with ruthless contempt. Seeing Yu Huan's face instantly filled with black lines, he finally stopped playing tricks on him and spoke directly:

"The reward that Tianta City is giving you is: a newly developed high-level ruin or... a city that has not yet been announced..."

“…ownership!”

58. Sure enough, the system is the most powerful

(Let me make it clear first, from now on I’m going to do something big, don’t enter if you don’t like it!)

As mentioned before, due to the Mirror Destruction Sun, the entire continent was almost destroyed one day. The remaining humans built new cities on the ruins, and humans entered a new era. The world also changed from its original prosperity to the dilapidated state it is today.

Countless dangers lurk in the ruins that cover nearly 80% of the entire continent, fully restricting the development and progress of mankind. However, they also bring countless opportunities and treasures to the remaining humans.

The ruins, whether they were left by our ancestors or were from the civilization before the Mirror Destruction Day, or were technological and magical relics from even earlier times that did not belong to this world, suddenly appeared in the ruined cities after the great cleansing of the world on the Mirror Destruction Day. These ruins also became the foundation for humans to build their own civilization in the ruins where natural disasters were rampant and strange beasts were infested!

Relics are generally divided into five types!

Ruined cities: most of the places on the entire continent are called ruins, but in fact they are the remains of cities that have been abandoned long ago. These places are also the places most frequently visited by scavengers. Although there are natural disasters and strange beasts, they are undoubtedly the least dangerous places!

Underground research institutes... or underground magic courts. Generally speaking, places like this contain relics of high-end technology or magic alchemy, but at the same time, they are guarded by guard robots or alchemical puppets to ensure their safety. Generally, the dangers in such research institutes are very high, and even high-level scavengers dare not set foot in them at will, unless they are scavengers who have removed the genetic restrictions, that is, they are at the level of psychic magicians. Only then can they dare to explore.

Ancient ruins, also known as high-level ruins: This type of ruins should be regarded as real ancient ruins. There are very few records on them at present. The only thing we know is that they did exist. Generally speaking, when such ruins come out, they obviously cannot be spied on by scavengers or magicians with special abilities. They require large organizations such as Tianta City and the Demon Realm Mage Tower to organize manpower to dare to explore them.

The reward given by Tianta City this time is such a relic. Of course, the treasures in it must have been emptied, and what was given to Yu Huan was just an empty shell... However, don’t think that an empty shell is useless. After all, it is a relic civilization left over from ancient times. Even if it is just an empty shell, it is a perfect foundation for a city. As long as it has it and there are enough manpower, it is only a matter of time for a city to rise from the ground!

In view of this, when Yu Huan heard about the reward from Tianta City, she was undoubtedly stunned. The sudden surprise made Yu Huan a little overwhelmed for a moment. However, at this moment, an even more explosive news suddenly came to her mind again, and it exploded in Yu Huan's mind like a thunderclap:

"Ding~~Special mission reward change notification!"

Mission: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!

任务奖励：灵币×1000000；人工智能卫星（城市规模）×1；人工智能机器人（修马基雅）制造图纸×1；城市规模建设图×1，骑士腰带（？）×1！

This voice no longer came from Xiao Hei. It was undoubtedly from the system in Yu Huan's mind that had been silent for some time. It was not a new task, but just the task that Yu Huan had accepted before. However, the originally vague task reward had undergone a drastic change. How to describe this change... Looking at Yu Huan's expression at this time, it can be seen that there is no problem in stuffing two eggs in!

"..."

The surprise came too suddenly, and it was such an explosive double surprise. If the reward from Tianta City was equivalent to giving Yu Huan a territory of her own, then the reward from the system was undoubtedly to directly upgrade her territory, and it was directly upgraded from the steam age to the future technological age.

What the hell is a satellite? What's artificial intelligence? Plus a city-scale blueprint... Okay, while this thing is certainly a bit inferior to the above two, the fact that they can be put together clearly shows that this thing is definitely not a simple thing!

It can be said that with these three things, Yu Huan is equivalent to owning a city, a high-tech city that belongs entirely to him!

With satellites and artificial intelligence already here, how can this not be considered high-tech?!

"Little Black..."

Silence, a long silence, which lasted for nearly ten minutes. Yu Huan finally spoke to Xiao Hei in a trance-like tone. However, after hearing Yu Huan's voice, Xiao Hei spoke without thinking:

"It doesn't hurt to hit someone in the game, so don't let me hit you and see how it goes. I'm telling you clearly that you're not dreaming right now. Everything I just said is true!"

This simple sentence once again made Yu Huan's eyes widen. After she reacted, she immediately opened her light screen and stared at the task on it. Then, after confirming that it was true, Yu Huan couldn't help but reveal a silly smile at the corner of her mouth... It lasted forever!

"Hmm, what is this? A terminal panel?"

Perhaps because of the contract she signed with Yu Huan, the isolation procedure originally set by the system light screen obviously no longer restricted her. At this time, the light screen was undoubtedly exposed nakedly in front of Xiao Hei. When Xiao Hei looked at the light screen in front of Yu Huan, she initially thought it was an intelligent panel from the other party's terminal, but then she remembered... This is a game, how can only the panel be used?

So what is Xiaohuan using now? Is it the game interface?

With this curious thought in mind, Xiao Hei immediately leaned over to look at the pale blue screen in front of Yu Huan. Then, when she saw the mission and its reward written in golden font...

"...Xiao Huan, let me confirm first, what is this?"

After a long silence, Xiao Hei suddenly asked this question. Since the contract had already been signed, Yu Huan naturally had no need to hide it:

"The system, um... it's the system!"

There is no need for any extra explanation. For a half-homebody like Xiao Hei, this explanation alone is enough. After all, although this is a different world, there is no doubt that human imagination is not limited by the world, so in this world... there are also novels!

"The system is... so what's on here... isn't it what I think?"

Even with Xiao Hei's great concentration, he couldn't help but stutter at this moment. If that was really the case, then this joke... would be a big deal!

"Well, that's probably what you think!"

In response to Xiao Hei's expression that said, "If you dare to nod, I'll have a heart attack in the next second," Yu Huan ruthlessly gave the final blow and nodded:

"This is a system task. Once you complete it... you can claim your reward!"

What reward?

Satellites, artificial intelligence and... city planning maps!

"..."

Xiao Hei didn't answer because she had fainted!

Well, happiness came too suddenly. Xiao Hei, who had never come into contact with the system, said that he needed to faint first and have a heart-to-heart talk with Jingjing in his dream!

Don’t ask her who Jingjing is!

59. Second Encounter

Putting aside the generous rewards given by the system, the rewards from Tianta City alone undoubtedly made Yu Huan extremely focused on this death game. From the initial interest to the discomfort caused by the murder of familiar people, he gradually became serious. Now, Yu Huan can be said to be fully committed and vowed to find the mastermind behind the scenes. If possible, it would be best to directly destroy this black game area that even Skynet cannot detect!

With this idea in mind, Yu Huan immediately took decisive action and started shopping with Xiao Hei!

Well, that's right, they just quit the game and went shopping, and the reason was very simple:

"Anyway, no matter how hard we try, there are only so many clues. Aside from the fact that this death game seems to be related to the Mirror Organization, everything else is still unknown. And since the mastermind has already taken action against us, it means we may have been targeted by them!"

Lifting the ice cream in his hand and taking a lick, Yu Huan said casually in a relaxed tone, enjoying the comfortable feeling of eating ice cream on the playground chair:

"So instead of being monitored in there and possibly attacked by surprise, we might as well just wait quietly for the seventh day in reality. After all, when the so-called doomsday comes, even if we don't look for it, it will probably find us anyway!"

After explaining his legitimate reason for being lazy, Xiao Hei, who was also eating ice cream, nodded decisively, then suddenly asked:

"What if it doesn't take us seriously at all, and doesn't show up after that?"

This is indeed a problem. After all, the other party has planned it so many times. Moreover, although no one knows why they need to collect seven sacrifices, it is obvious that the other party has their own uses or conspiracies. Maybe in order to successfully implement their own plans, they may not pay attention to Yu Huan at all. After all, although Yu Huan went to the three sacrifices and absorbed the soul fragments remaining there, fundamentally speaking, this obviously cannot cause much impact on the other party!

"Will not!"

Yu Huan's answer to Xiao Hei's question was equally decisive, as if she had already made up her mind. Seeing this, Xiao Hei immediately looked at her curiously.

"Oh? Could it be that you have a plan or discovered something?"

Yu Huan nodded slightly, and Xiao Hei's eyes lit up instantly:

"what have you found?!"

“It will definitely come!”

Hearing this resolute answer, Xiao Hei instantly became more certain that Yu Huan must have some basis for his statement. Then he heard Yu Huan continue:

"After all, that's what it says in the novel!"

"Oh, oh, oh, it's all in the novel... Wait, what did you just say?"

He nodded as if he understood something, but halfway through he suddenly realized what Yu Huan had said. Xiao Hei immediately turned his head to look at her, only to see that the little girl's face and eyes showed her sincerity and confidence as she said:

"Look, isn't that how it's written in novels? Usually, the protagonists accidentally touch the edge of the villain's conspiracy due to some accident, and then at the final moment when the conspiracy is about to be completed, the villain chooses not to do the real work, but instead thinks, 'For my plan to succeed, XXX must die.' In short, he will put aside his plans and fight his opponent to the death!"

Such a matter-of-fact statement and the irrefutable answer left Xiao Hei speechless in an instant... What the hell!

"That's nothing!"

For a moment, Xiao Hei, who couldn't even care about the ice cream in his hand, stretched out his hands and rubbed his tender cheeks in frustration. A look of despair instantly appeared on his face. In the end, he couldn't help but speak to the sick girl in front of him.

"Let's not discuss whether you're the protagonist or not. Just tell me what you based your conclusion on. Don't tell me you came up with it from a novel, or I'll turn against you!"

"Uh...that's not it!"

In response to Xiao Hei's aggressive question, Yu Huan thought for a moment and honestly shook his head, which made Xiao Hei slightly relieved. It seemed that he had just been joking because of his middle school syndrome. How could someone as reliable as Xiao Huan be like this...

"I came to this conclusion based on my intuition and imagination!"

"..."

Okay, it's decided! Let's break up!

……

Of course, it is impossible to break up with Yu Huan. Even if Yu Huan is unreliable, it is obvious that Xiao Hei will not break up with her. Therefore, after figuring out Yu Huan's idea of ​​"I am playing the detective game completely based on intuition", Xiao Hei immediately made a decisive decision... to buy an ice cream!

Do you need to calm down? No, the reason you went to buy ice cream was because Xiao Hei suddenly remembered that he was originally asked by Xiao Huan to help. To put it bluntly, he is just a supporting role, and his only job is to follow his little loli and run errands. As for other things... what does it have to do with me?

In the instant state of Buddha, Xiao Hei quickly calmed down. Without mentioning the game, he finished the new ice cream and pulled Yu Huan directly in the opposite direction of the interstellar roller coaster. He remembered that he had done it once on the last date and it felt pretty good. Obviously, Xiao Hei wanted to experience it again and shouted to calm himself down.

"Eh? It's you again, cute little sisters!"

Sometimes fate is so unpredictable, it just comes out of nowhere!

Just as Xiao Hei was pulling Yu Huan, who was also interested, to the interstellar roller coaster to prepare to queue up, a sudden voice suddenly came from somewhere in the queue in front of them. When Yu Huan and Xiao Hei looked up, they saw a familiar face waving at them.

Well, they can’t really be considered acquaintances. At most, they are strangers who have met once, and that one encounter was also here. That’s right, the one who greeted Xiao Hei and Yu Huan was none other than Yu Huan’s anchor who was here when they last dated: Xiao Xiao!

"It really is you! I just told my fans that maybe I could run into those two adorable little sisters this time, and I didn't expect you to show up. Is this the legendary fate?!"

After seeing Yuhuan and Xiaohei, the girl named Xiaoxiao immediately switched lines with the tourists who were queuing behind her without saying a word. It was obvious that many people were willing to queue up in one less line, so she quickly came in front of the two people with a sunny smile on her face.

"Oh, it's you!"

Seeing Xiaoxiao, Xiao Hei remembered who she was and immediately greeted her in a tone that was neither cold nor enthusiastic, purely out of politeness. On the contrary, Yu Huan blinked thoughtfully the moment the other party appeared, and just stared at the other party without saying a word.

"Black... line?"
