Just a magical girl who picks up trash

"So, system, if the mission fails... forget it, just show me the mission process."

No matter how much he asked here, it was obviously not as convenient as seeing it directly. As Zhao Yingcao finished speaking, the pale golden light curtain in front of him changed slightly, and at the same time, tasks from the system appeared on it bit by bit:

Main task: turn over a new leaf.

Mission details: Find the holder of the 'Demon Spirit System', purify their mind and make them turn from evil to good and walk on the right path; the default personal evil value is 100%, and it will be reduced according to the degree of the other party's transformation. When the evil value returns to zero, the mission is completed.

Mission reward: Protagonist's halo +1, points XXXX (depending on the situation).

Mission failed: (Anti) Heroine's Halo +1, system unbinding.

There was nothing fancy to say, just such a simple sentence summarized the system's tasks. At the same time, after seeing the above message, Zhao Yingcao was immediately attracted by Chen Zhizhong.

How should I put it... Turning over a new leaf... I'm so upset that I don't even know where to start complaining, but the point is that this world is so big, where can I find the owner of that so-called Demon Spirit System for you?

And what if the other person accidentally dies? What if the other person is someone you can't accept physically? What if the other person is your enemy?

There were so many things that Zhao Yingcao wanted to complain about that he even felt that the system was playing tricks on him. However, after studying and analyzing the tasks quickly, Zhao Yingcao quickly guessed a few things.

"That thief didn't seem to have returned empty-handed. The Fairy Spirit System and the Demon Spirit System sound connected. Perhaps they are one and the same. This is why the system issued this mission."

Thinking in this way, we can analyze it by following this line of thought:

"According to this theory, the other party must be the thief who sneaked into the room looking for the jade pendant. But because he didn't know there were actually two jade pendants, he only took the Demonic Spirit System, leaving the Fairy Spirit System for me... In other words, the owner of the other system should be in this Hope Base."

With this guess in her mind, the search direction was narrowed down countless times. At the same time, while she was thinking, the system's voice sounded again:

"Remind the host. When the host approaches and makes contact with the holder of the Demon Spirit System, the system will give a prompt."

"..."

Well, you can tell by just touching it, right? But what good is that?!

Honestly, this tip wasn't very useful to Zhao Yingcao. After all, the entire base, including the floating population, numbered over ten thousand. Was he supposed to shake hands with each one individually?!

"This is really..."

My head hurts~~

164. Doubt

Zhao Yingcao felt she couldn't help but complain about the weird task given by the system, and she also had a headache. In fact, giving up the system task was not a big deal. If she just ignored it as if she didn't see it, then she only had to wait until the task failed, that is, the system unbound her. In fact, there was no big loss for her.

However, there is indeed no loss, but the temptation is there.

After seeing the mall in the system once, it was impossible for Zhao Yingcao not to be tempted. Apart from so many good things, at least she would not be lacking in security and food. If she wanted, she could even think about other things.

To conclude, although Zhao Yingcao was complaining about the system's tasks and felt troubled, he could only carry out the system's tasks honestly afterwards... The first thing he did was to shake hands with everyone in his family without them knowing why, so that he could at least get to know them first and avoid any confusion later.

Just as Zhao Yingcao began to search for her 'mission target', a small space in the void clearly saw the task that appeared in Zhao Yingcao's system through the light curtain. At this moment, Yu looked at his sister who was calmly drinking juice in front of him with an indescribable expression.

After a long while, he considered his words and said:

"Sister, you..."

"what happened?"

Before she could finish, Yu Huan put down the juice and interrupted:

"If you can influence Qian Xin's system, can't I also slightly change Zhao Yingcao's system?"

This sentence was met with a wry smile from Yu, who shook his head and quickly said:

"Sister, if you want to change, I certainly don't have any objections. I'm actually just curious... what exactly do you want to do, sister?"

That evil value for turning over a new leaf was obviously plagiarized from his own favorability mission, and this was obviously what Yu was focusing on.

After finishing the juice in front of him in one gulp and shaking the cup, he saw that the juice inside was automatically refilled. Yu Huan said with a little satisfaction:

"Nothing, just wanted to give it a try."

"What to try?"

"Will Qian Xin succeed in revenge on her own first, or will Zhao Yingcao change the other party first and successfully 'convert' him?"

It was a very simple reason, but Yu remained silent for a long time, his eyes becoming increasingly strange as he continued to ask:

"And...what's the purpose?"

"Hmm... Investigate the differences between good and evil in human nature, and whether human emotions can overcome inferiority. This will be useful for your future as a goddess, when you need to understand the people's sentiments."

"Please speak human language. And why is it a rhetorical question? Did you make this up on the spur of the moment?!"

Finally, he couldn't help but complain, and facing Yu's complaints, Yu Huan finally expressed his true thoughts:

"Well, I just want to see who will take down the other first."

If Qian Xin succeeded, then Zhao Yingcao's fate would be self-evident. However, if Zhao Yingcao succeeded first, then things... would obviously be very interesting.

"Okay, sister, you are so bad!"

You were clearly saying "this isn't good" at the beginning, but right after I finished my little trick, you came right after me. This is really...

"Each each other!"

Regarding the exposure of his bad taste, Yu Huan obviously did not hide it. There was no need to hide it in front of his sister. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Yu Yi and squinted his eyes and said:

"Before you tell me I'm too mean, please take back that expectant smile on your face. Thank you."

In one sentence, the two sisters looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

Sure enough, they are sisters.

Such bad taste!

Completely unaware that both he and Zhao Yingcao had been clearly arranged, Qian Xin had undoubtedly begun to prepare for his plan these days. After racking his brains for several days, finally, one evening in the streets and alleys, the plan... began!

The first and simplest thing is to investigate the place that Zhao Yingcao must pass through when leaving the mission hall every day, and then start the "scene" before the other party arrives, and finally judge whether the other party will "take action".

After all, if Zhao Yingcao is hard-hearted and doesn't take action even after seeing all this, then it will obviously be a troublesome thing for Qian Xin. Of course, today is only the first day of the plan, so there is no need to be too anxious, there will be plenty of time to spare.

"Listen carefully, you guys should act like this is the real deal. Unless the other party really ignores you, don't reveal any flaws. Otherwise... don't blame me for being rude."

Although she was considered a doted "queen" in her previous life, to put it bluntly, she was just a "little princess". She was the darling of the team and a mascot.

After this life, Qian Xin, having learned his lesson, actively used his advantages as a 'traveler'. He became stronger through repeated training, and at the same time, he transformed from the original mascot into the real leader of the team.

At this moment, her words were met with the immediate nods of approval from the people around her who were dressed in rags but did not look dirty.

Although I don’t know what the captain is going to do, the best thing to do is to obey him.

With this thought in mind, the drama began. The first sound coming from the alley was a panic-stricken scream from a young girl.

"Ah~~you...you...you stop messing around, let...let me go!"

Qian Xin's expression of three parts of shame and seven parts of fear was so vivid at that moment that Zhao Yingcao, who had just walked into the alley and was about to turn a corner, was stunned for a moment, and then he frowned with some dissatisfaction.

It was this kind of drama again. It was not that she had seen it too many times, but in today's situation, the moral bottom line was being pushed lower and lower by the madness of the end of the world. Women without strength began to gradually become "objects" no matter where they were. Therefore, Zhao Yingcao had actually seen such things before.

After blinking his eyes, he seemed to think about whether he should meddle in other people's business, but in the end he couldn't help but sigh.

Sure enough, she was a little soft-hearted. It would have been fine if she hadn't met me again, but after meeting me, it was obvious that she couldn't bear to see this happen. After hesitating for a moment, dark blue lightning began to wrap around her fingertips, and then she walked directly towards the corner.

"?!"

However, the next second, just as her footsteps were about to pass the corner, she suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Wait, a mutant?"

She frowned slightly. Although she was not a psychic, perhaps because she was also a psychic, she could more or less distinguish them.

At this moment, she could sense the presence of at least four psychics in the alley, three of whom were committing violence, and the last one... was the kidnapped girl.

But that's not right. The reason why people with special abilities are called special abilities is that, in addition to their special abilities, their bodies will also be somewhat enhanced. Although they cannot be said to have directly become strongmen, they can at least escape or struggle.

If things really don't work, the shouting doesn't have to stop there... It can't be heard from far away in the alley. If you shout louder, the police might come over. Wouldn't it be safer then?

Such thoughts inevitably arose in her mind. Her long-term vigilance made her unconsciously begin to remain silent. After all, she had undergone military training in the wild. Although it was only a few months, she had mastered a lot. Later, she had been polished by the end of the world. Now it is obvious that she is not a novice.

"Is this a trick? Is it targeting me or..."

After thinking it over again and again, Zhao Yingcao couldn't think of anything and decided to stand up immediately... If it was aimed at him, if he failed this time, who knows what would happen next time. Instead of doing that, it would be better to observe and find out who the other party is and what they want to do.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Yingcao immediately walked through the alley decisively, and the first thing he saw was a young girl being surrounded by three thugs who were forcing her.

Then, when he saw the girl's sleeve that had obviously been torn off halfway, he couldn't help but curl his lips and muttered in his heart:

"I was gone for a minute before I came here, and he didn't even take off his clothes. It's obvious he's trying to trick people."

It's not like she's a professional actor. Zhao Yingcao, who has been influenced by TV dramas for many years, immediately made such a judgment in her heart. However, thinking of her previous thoughts, she immediately looked at the person in front of her honestly, spread her palms slightly, and said without bothering to play dumb.

"Be smart and get out of here, or I'll be rude to you!"

The light words coupled with his own cold temperament instantly made the three thugs in front of him subconsciously take a step back. After looking at each other, they turned around and ran without saying a word.

Very good, very decisive. It looked as if he was really frightened by the other party's superpowers. However, such a decisive action was obviously even more unqualified in Zhao Yingcao's eyes.

"So these three are gone, which means... this woman is the backup? Is she planning a surprise attack on me, or is she planning something else?"

Since he had doubts from the beginning, there was naturally no such thing as coincidence. Therefore, facing the grateful expression of the girl in front of him, Zhao Yingcao remained calm and did not say much.

Come on, let’s play with each other~~~

165. Favorability

Qian Xin successfully joined Zhao Yingcao's team of superpowers, and the success was even better than she had expected.

My original plan was to use this heroic rescue incident to get to know Zhao Yingcao, and then gradually gain her trust through various calculations.

Even considering the other party's vigilance, she was prepared for the failure of this "plan". After all, she had plenty of backup plans.

However, who would have thought that everything would go so smoothly.

After being rescued by the hero, she was 'helped' up by the other party. Then she seemed to see the girl in front of her seemed to be dazed for a moment, but because the time was too short, Qian Xin did not notice it.

After that, the other party was obviously absent-minded in his thanks and so on. Instead, he began to look at him with a scrutinizing and even slightly wary look.

It's normal. After all, Qian Xin has already had a deep impression of Zhao Yingcao's image as an iron-blooded heroine in the later period. Therefore, these behaviors of the other party are obviously normal in her view. If the other party really asked her about her well-being right from the start, then she would be really horrified.

Then, during this period of observation, Qian Xin felt that this "plan" had both succeeded and failed.

Success is when you meet the other party and the other party really takes action for you. Failure is when the other party's vigilance towards you is as strong as you guessed.

"Thank you!"

There is no need to say much to say thank you, and there is no need to deliberately show anything. The more you do, the easier it is to reveal your flaws in front of smart people. Knowing this, Qian Xin immediately prepared to implement his second plan: let the other party know that he is a person with superpowers.

Obviously, she didn't know that Zhao Yingcao could sense things through her mental power. Therefore, in Qian Xin's opinion, Zhao Yingcao probably didn't know that she was a superpower. Of course, this was not for her to show her strength, but to let the other party see the importance of her "superpower".

Water is the source of life. A water-based psychic is undoubtedly indispensable to any team, especially for a team of female psychics. In such a dirty and chaotic world, how enjoyable would it be to be able to take a bath once in a while?!

In fact, this point obviously did not surprise Qian Xin. When she used her own water system to carefully clean the "wound" caused by the struggle, the other party's eyes shifted from the original scrutiny of herself to her supernatural powers.

"Are you a water-type mutant?"

The voice is very nice, ethereal yet with a hint of heroism and coldness. At first listen, it sounds like a queen high above, or a fairy aloof from the world. However, if you listen carefully, it gives people a sense of security at a perfect distance, neither too close nor too untidy.

When she first heard the other party's voice, even Qian Xin was slightly stunned. At this time, the other party was not the domineering female protagonist in the future who was so high and mighty that even the male protagonist could not show his edge in front of her. She was just the captain of a small team. Therefore, although her momentum had been developed to a certain extent, there was still a bit of "humanity" in her every move.

It was a color that Qian Xin, her opponent in her previous life, had never seen before. It suddenly appeared on her enemy, which made her slightly stunned.

Of course, after being stunned for a moment, she quickly realized the other party's question and nodded hurriedly:

"Yes... yes, I'm a first-level psychic, water... water-type!"

A first-level water-washing ability user is actually in an awkward position. After all, it is a newly awakened ability, and its strength itself is not high. As a water-based ability user, it is mostly auxiliary, and there are undoubtedly very few people who have combat power.

However, even though such water-based mutants are weak, they are also completely indispensable to every team. After all, when traveling outside in this world full of viruses, the importance of clean water is self-evident.

To sum up, the status of water-based mutants is actually very embarrassing.

Putting aside the fact that they are strong or have their own team, men can at least train their bodies to have some self-protection abilities. However, if a girl is alone and has such abilities, the biggest possibility before she grows up is that she will be spotted by a team and then... forced into the team.

It was obvious from the way Qian Xin acted that she knew this, so she had a wary and pitiful expression when answering Zhao Yingcao at this moment. It was a feeling of not wanting to say anything but not wanting to hide it from her savior, and hoping that the other person was a good person.

Zhao Yingcao didn't react much to Qian Xin's explosive performance. Instead, after thinking about it, he suddenly spoke as if he had made up his mind:

"The water-type esper in our team...passed away a while ago, and now the team is short of a support person. If you don't mind...do you have a team?"

It seemed like he only remembered this matter after talking about it. However, there was no doubt that Zhao Yingcao's sudden and straightforward recruitment had already made Qian Xin stunned. After coming to his senses, his first reaction was to shake his head.

"No...no, I...I just woke up."

As he said this, Qian Xin immediately saw Zhao Yingcao nodded in satisfaction:
