Just a magical girl who picks up trash

The cherry pink protective shield visible to the naked eye kept trembling under the violent wind, but even such a seemingly fragile thin shield still blocked it all. Seeing this, Yu Huan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, I have plenty of magic power. Now I'll just wait quietly for this thing to dissipate on its own!"

The appearance of the wind gale was very sudden, but it would not last long. Therefore, relying on his strong magic power, Yu Huan did not even think of dodging. He just sat carelessly in the wind gale, allowing the violent wind gale to pass through his protective shield, but he still stood still with his eyes narrowed, as if he was really planning to wait for the wind gale to dissipate.

However, she originally thought so, but the next second the system's words undoubtedly interrupted her thoughts:

"Master, a large amount of energy reaction has been detected!"

"What? Energy reaction?"

His narrowed eyes opened instantly, and Yu Huan immediately asked:

"where?"

'In the center of the eye!'

The system's answer instantly made Yu Huan look towards the violent wind before him... No, to be more precise, he looked towards the direction where the violent wind was gathering. A thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes:

"Is there some treasure in the middle of this thing? It can't be so ridiculous, right?"

Every natural disaster is bound to contain treasures. Yet, for millions of years, no one dared approach. Then, during a crisis, the protagonist stumbled into it and discovered that the so-called natural disaster was actually caused by some kind of treasure. Therefore, not only did he not die, but he also gained a huge reward... I've read this kind of melodramatic experience many times in novels in my past life, and now I actually encountered it. This is really...

"Let's go and have a look!"

He encountered this thing inexplicably and was inexplicably targeted and involved in it. It was thanks to Yu Huan's superb strength that he was not torn into pieces. Yu Huan was already very unhappy about this. Now if he didn't get some interest back, Yu Huan said that he would write his name backwards... With this idea in mind, Yu Huan strode towards the center of the storm without saying a word.

It’s not that she hasn’t thought about flying, but flying in such a violent wind... that is obviously seeking death!

"Crackle~Crackle~Crackle~~"

"Hoohoo~~Zizizi~Bangbangbang~~"

Small footsteps stepped one by one on the ground that was swept away and only the hard earth was left. Under the infusion of magic power, almost every step of Yu Huan would leave a deep footprint on the ground. At the same time, the strong wind from outside the barrier in front of him also changed from fierce at the beginning to violent, and finally surrounded it endlessly, like a small vortex suddenly appearing in a whirlpool and surrounding it.

At this moment, as the wind was getting closer and closer to the center, Yu Huan could no longer see anything even half a meter away except the wind and sand. He could only move forward relying on the guidance of the system. At the same time, as he was getting closer and closer to the center, Yu Huan also noticed the rapid decrease of magic power in his body. That was the result of the protective shield extracting magic power on its own after enduring too many attacks. Although Yu Huan boasted of his huge magic power, it was obvious that he still showed some fatigue in the face of such a natural disaster.

"Master, your magic power is only 72% left. For safety reasons, you must stop in three minutes!"

The system's warning suddenly appeared in her ears, and Yu Huan nodded slightly to show that she understood. As she moved closer to the center of the strong wind, the consumption of magic power was also increasing rapidly. In this case, Yu Huan would naturally not joke with her own life. Once the consumption exceeded 50%, she would evacuate without saying a word, no matter how precious the item was. It was obvious that Yu Huan would not do such a thing as seeking death out of greed!

"Bang bang bang~~"

The violent gale was like a giant hammer, constantly hitting the pink shield. Under the continuous blows, the originally huge shield began to shrink bit by bit, until it was almost tightly attached to Yu Huan's body. The consumption of magic power continued to increase. Feeling the magic power in his body constantly evaporating in this situation, Yu Huan immediately had the idea of ​​retreating. However...

"Master, look!"

The system's voice instantly attracted all of Yu Huan's attention. Just as she looked up, she saw a faint green light flashing in the raging sandstorm that made it impossible to see anything.

Although the light was dim, Yu Huan smiled with relief the moment he saw the light.

The eye of the storm...is here!

37. It feels so good to get unexpected money!

“Huff, huff, huff, huff, huff, huff~”

A huge gust of wind that tore through space raged in a corner of Storm City. Wherever it passed, whether it was the ruins of buildings or all the objects buried by the wind and sand, they were all swept up into the sky and torn into pieces. In the end, they turned into objects that were even more broken than the wreckage and fell on the flat sand.

Feng Gang has no consciousness, so it can only form unconsciously, and then it undoubtedly floats in the entire Storm City, leaving a long trail of yellow sand wherever it passes. If you zoom in, it looks like a ruined city that was originally in good condition has a long line directly wiped out from it. It looks extremely abrupt. Originally, there should have been nothing on this line. After all, where Feng Gang passes, not to mention living people, even objects may not exist. However, just a few minutes after Feng Gang continued to move forward, a voice suddenly rang out here.

"Southeast direction, wind force level three, energy index 72%, the probability of producing Feng Gang Spirit Crystal is 79%!"

Along with a sound like a synthesized voice, four figures wrapped in silver-white steel appeared silently on the trail left by the wind vortex. After stretching out their hands to measure a little on the ground, a terrifying red light flashed in the eyes of one of the figures' armor, and then he gave a report!

"Catch up and get the Wind Crystal before them!"

A man's voice suddenly came from the communicator on one of the armored men's wrists, and then the four armored men nodded at the same time as if they had received some order:

"Order accepted!"

A faint blue light instantly spurted out from the joints of the four people, and then drove the four people to instantly transform into light and reappear in the distance where the traces were...which was exactly the direction where the wind vortex was moving.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Storm City...

"To the northwest, the wind element is most concentrated there. The wind vortex must be in that direction!"

His entire body was wrapped in a black robe, even his face was tightly wrapped in it. A slightly hoarse voice came from the mouth of one of the three black-robed men in front of him. After pinching a handful of sand under his mask and licking it gently, the next second the three of them ran towards the direction pointed by the leader without saying a word, driven by a burst of green light.

"Speed ​​up! We must not let those guys get the Wind Crystal. For the sake of the Demon Spirit Society!"

"Yes! For the Demonic Society!"

Words that seemed like faith came out of the mouths of the other two figures at the same time, and then the three figures suddenly accelerated their speed and rushed into the rolling sandstorm in the next second. Their target: the wind vortex!

At the same time, at this moment, Yu Huan, who was unaware of all this, finally managed to walk into the center of the wind vortex before his magic power was about to run out. Although he had only seen it in novels in his previous life and therefore did not know it, the wind vortex here made Yu Huan understand a truth: it turns out that there is no wind in the center of a tornado!

That's right, there was no wind. After finally reaching the center of the wind vortex with great effort, the phenomenon that Yu Huan had imagined that every treasure would be guarded by some terrifying thing did not appear. Instead, there was calm and quiet, so quiet that it made people feel like they were back home. Apart from the wind surrounding like a wall, there was no other sight. There was only a flat ground of fine sand without any impurities, surrounded by a thick layer of wind like sand, and in the center of this open space, two pieces of... stones were quietly suspended in the air?

"This thing... is Feng Gang's important good thing?"

It truly was stone, translucent throughout, emitting a faint green glow… Yet, despite this, there was no denying that it was a single piece… no, it should be said that it was a stone broken into several pieces. These fragments of stone now hovered quietly in mid-air. As they moved, Yu Huan could clearly see the entire storm wall slowly shifting as well. Clearly, the wind vortex was moving along with these pieces of stone. Furthermore, Yu Huan even suspected that the formation of the entire wind vortex might be related to these stones, and the evidence was…

"High-energy mineral reaction detected, analysis in progress..."

The system's voice gave Yu Huan a hint. It was natural that Yu Huan would not give up the good things that were about to be obtained. Therefore, when asked by the system, Yu Huan nodded immediately. To be on the safe side, she also reached out and touched the smallest piece of rubble among the dozen or so pieces, trying to take it down. In order to prevent any accidents, this time Yu Huan not only released a thick layer of magic protection, but also summoned the Kuga armor and transformed it into the Pegasus form just in case.

As for why not use Titan Form? It's simple. While Titan Form's defense is undoubtedly strong, it's still a bit weaker than the magic shield, making it somewhat unnecessary. However, Pegasus Form is different. As a warrior of Si Changfeng, Pegasus Form gives Yu Huan a very powerful sixth sense. In this case, if anything unexpected happens, she can react at the fastest speed, which is undoubtedly the most important thing!

Everything was ready. Yu Huan gently pinched off the smallest green stone. However, surprisingly, the imagined accident did not happen. Instead, the stone that was emitting a light green light just now seemed to lose its luster almost the moment it touched Yu Huan... No, it should be said that all the luster was instantly absorbed by Yu Huan and disappeared into her body in an instant. Then the stone in her hand also disappeared from her hand in an instant after losing its light, protecting ordinary gravel.

"Meow meow meow? What's going on?"

Staring blankly at the scene in front of her, Yu Huan took two steps back innocently. Then her first reaction was to check her body hurriedly. After making sure that she was fine, she did not notice that her originally emerald green armor had been covered with golden marks, like runes or carvings.

After confirming that there were no abnormalities, he immediately asked the system:

"System, do you have any clues?"

There had been no response since the analysis began. If the system screen hadn't been there, Yu Huan would have thought it had crashed. The system quickly responded to Yu Huan's question:

"Master, an unusually strong energy fluctuation has been detected within the ore before you. It's somewhat similar to magic, yet somewhat different. Some special reactions remain within it, and the composition is quite complex. The system cannot currently analyze it, and it will take some time..."

"None of this matters!"

However, before the system could finish her words, Yu Huan decisively interrupted her:

"I just want to know...can these things be sold?"

It doesn't matter what it is, and it doesn't matter whether it's precious or not... No, it does matter a little, because it's about how much spirit coins she can earn. It doesn't matter whether it's dangerous or not, it's the same no matter what you sell to the system.

'...'

Because its master's idea was so reasonable, the system was speechless for a moment, and after reacting, it quickly said:

"According to energy analysis, the price of each stone ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 spirit coins. Master, would you like to exchange them all?"

"so much?!"

'Yes, Master!'

At this moment, not only Yu Huan was excited, but the system was the same. After all, the system relied on spirit coins for both operation and upgrade. Now that there was suddenly such a huge sum of money, it was obvious that reaching level three was possible!

"Then what are you waiting for? Exchange them all... Wait, I'll keep a few just in case!"

Although he really wanted to exchange them all, Yu Huan, who was just deep in his palm, was suddenly stunned. Some ideas suddenly came to his mind. He immediately said this decisively, and randomly pointed his finger at the largest piece and the two smaller pieces and said:

"System, put these three pieces into the system space, and exchange all the others!"

"Good Master!"

As he spoke, all the gravel in front of Yu Huan disappeared instantly. Except for three pieces that were moved to the system backpack, Yu Huan exchanged the rest for the system without hesitation. Then...

Absorbed 8 Wind Crystals (energy levels vary), totaling 631,300 Spirit Coins!

"Due to absorbing a large amount of spirit coins, the system has entered the upgrade process. Estimated upgrade time: 240 hours!"

'Warning, during the system's life cycle, except for the basic magic modification function and exploration function, all other functions will be temporarily closed. Please pay attention!'

"Master, I'm sorry..."

The system upgrade came a bit suddenly. Before Yu Huan could react from the large amount of spirit coins, the system had already spoken all the words in a series. This made Yu Huan slightly stunned and immediately said:

"It's okay, just focus on upgrading. It's only ten days, nothing to worry about!"

System upgrade is a good thing, although it is obviously a bit hasty at this juncture, but it obviously has little impact on Yu Huan.

"Yes, Master, good night!"

After leaving these hurried words, the system, which seemed to be asleep, yawned loudly and then fell into a deep sleep. At the same time, the light blue system screen in front of it also closed little by little, and was replaced by a red light screen that slowly unfolded.

"Master, the system has ordered me to take over during the upgrade!"

Although the system usually doesn't deal with Tianling, at this time it is obvious that it can still distinguish the importance of things. Therefore, when she just got upgraded, it decisively found Tianling to take charge of its own duties. Tianling naturally would not refuse, so it immediately replaced the system and appeared in front of her.

"Oh, okay, okay, then let's..."

"Buzz buzz~~"

Yu Huan was about to say something, but the vibration from the surroundings startled her the next second, and she quickly looked around vigilantly.

“What…what happened?!”

In response to this, Tian Ling quickly gave an answer after a flash of light:

"Master, the surrounding wind energy is rapidly disappearing..."

Tian Ling's words made Yu Huan slightly stunned:

"Uh, you mean..."

Tian Ling nodded, and suddenly said hesitantly:

"The wind is disappearing, Master. Also..."

"what happened?"

'Energy reaction detected, location... just around you, outside the wind barrier!'

38. Magician and Mechanical Spirit!

"Is there anyone outside the Feng Gang? A scavenger?"

Someone was actually caught in the wind, looking quite unlucky... Just as this thought came to Yu Huan's mind, Tian Ling beside him gently shook his head:

"No, Master. Our investigation shows that there are two groups of people outside right now. They don't show any signs of distress, but are observing the wind vortex. One group of four has energy reactions, while the other three have... magic reactions!"

"Energy reaction? Magical reaction... A magician? Wait, you said observing the wind vortex..."

Suddenly startled, Yu Huan glanced at where he was, then at the only three crystals left in his system backpack:

"They're not coming here for this, are they?"

'...'

The answer was obvious. As the wind gradually disappeared, the thick wall of wind and sand in front of him was also disintegrating bit by bit. With the keen intuition of the Pegasus form, even without Tianling's reminder, Yu Huan had already sensed the energy reaction from outside the storm. There were two groups of people, who seemed to be facing each other. As the wind and sand gradually disappeared, the sights of the two groups were also focused here at the same time. It seemed that they were coming for a certain wind crystal!

"So... is this a rhythm of killing people and stealing treasures?"

It’s just that I’m not the one who’s killing people and stealing treasures, I’m the one who’s about to be killed and robbed... That’s weird!

"Let me relax, I'm ready for battle!"

Feeling the heavy atmosphere outside the storm, if the other party really came for the Wind Crystal, then it was obvious that an outsider like him who suddenly appeared in the center of the wind would not be easily let off by the other party. In this situation, fighting was basically inevitable, so Yu Huan felt that he still needed to prepare early... What, you ask what the basis is?

Isn’t that how it’s written in novels?

What about killing people and stealing treasures, killing people and stealing treasures, and killing people and stealing treasures!

"Master, don't worry. After testing, their energy level is not high. The threat level is within the level two range!"

At this time, with the gradual disappearance of Feng Gang, Tian Ling's reconnaissance was further improved. Therefore, after judging the opponent's energy level, he decisively reported to Yu Huan, and this report also made Yu Huan slightly relieved... The second-level threat level, according to the system's popular explanation, means that at most it will cause injury to oneself, which is not fatal, so he can still be slightly relieved!

……

Yu Huan, who had already discovered two groups of people here, was ready for battle. On the other side, the two groups of people who were exploring the wind vortex at the same time also discovered each other. Therefore, almost in an instant, they all looked at each other vigilantly. They were ready to fight, but no one acted rashly. Instead, they just stood in the wind and sand and started talking nonsense.

"Oh, isn't this the iron lump from the Heavenly Palace? Why is it here in the ruins? Could it have rusted and been abandoned by its owner?"

Four figures were suspended in the air, propelled by the blue light behind them. Because of the strong wind, the insulating cloaks on their bodies had been torn into pieces, revealing four steel figures. They were human figures, but they were not humans, but... robots!

"Buzz buzz buzz~~ Magical reaction detected, hostile force confirmed, entering alert mode!"

"Kakakaka~~~"
