The correct way to open the magical girl

"My benefactor, you are here. Grandma Xingbai said she was setting up a server. What is a server?" Wang Li asked curiously.

"Well...it's really hard to explain to you. Just think of it as a logistics distribution warehouse for now. People can come here to get whatever they need, and they can also put anything they need to store here." Li Xuan said, supporting his chin.

"So that's how it is... Grandma Xingbai is so amazing!" Wang Li nodded, not quite understanding.

"Don't call me grandma! Do I look that old?" Xingbai couldn't help but retort.

"Just call me that. You are obviously hundreds of years old. Not to mention grandma, even my grandma's grandma's grandma is not older than you, right?" Wang Li said playfully.

"God has mercy on me. I'm finally not the oldest one here anymore..." Lilika muttered softly.

"...I'm only seventeen years old, so the time before reincarnation doesn't count!" Xingbai retorted while weaving a web.

"Yes, yes, yes: Zi Ma came first, then Tian, ​​and Xing Bai was before Zi Ma. She is only seventeen years old, and one year of chaos counts as one year." Wang Li continued to tease.

"You really are familiar with me, even though you were so polite before... It turns out that making friends is not a good thing. It's better to stay at home and spend your life playing games." Xingbai complained.

"Okay, stop persecuting Miss Xingbai...bah, Miss Xingbai - Miss Xingbai, I want to ask about the progress of the network project? Is there any hope of fully connecting the False Evil Land to the Internet? If you have any difficulties, please tell me." Li Xuan asked.

"It is indeed a bit difficult. With my network-weaving speed, it only takes a little longer to lay the network cables. The energy and cooling issues are also easy to solve. But the problem is that the server's computing power is not enough. No matter how powerful I am, I can't rub chips and hard drives by hand. Relying on those old electronic devices in the False Evil Land can never meet the needs of setting up a server. So what you see now is actually just an empty frame." Xingbai said with some regret.

"That's okay. You just set up the shelf first, and I'll purchase the equipment after it's sold out. But I don't know anything about the equipment needed to set up a server, so I have to rely on you to make a shopping list." Li Xuan replied.

"No problem. Although this is my first time setting up such a large-scale server, I will learn about it as soon as possible." Xingbai seemed to be very interested in things related to network technology, and he was very enthusiastic when weaving the network.

"That's good. I'll need to ask Miss Lilika for funding..."

"I'll provide the funds. I still have assets worth tens of billions of New Yen in my account. Although the value will shrink if I liquidate them in a hurry, it will not be a problem to buy the equipment needed for a server." Xingbai said proudly.

"Eh? Hundreds of billions of New Yen? If converted into the currency of the Golden Country, that would be at least several billion. You're staying in the Evil Land of Falsehood and can't leave, so where do you get so much money?" Li Xuan asked in surprise.

"I'm the legendary tech geek. Besides playing games, my biggest hobby every day is to open an account with a fake identity to invest. Stocks, futures, foreign exchange, virtual currency, precious metals... I'll play with anything that I find interesting. Although I lost a lot of money in the beginning, I slowly started to make money after I mastered the rules." Xingbai said proudly.

"But where did you make your first pot of gold?" Li Xuan asked puzzledly.

"Of course I'm an outsourced programmer online. Except for PHP, which I'm not very good at, I have studied common assembly languages ​​in depth. Although my talent is not top-notch, I have plenty of time to waste." Xingbai answered proudly.

"You're worthy of being called Lao Deng. Other programmers are unemployed at the age of 30, but you've been studying for 30 years and are just getting started." Li Xuan praised.

"Master, can you take me with you when you go shopping? I'm curious about the outside world. When can we go out?" Wang Li leaned on Li Xuan and said.

"It's almost done. I've already made Li Sijie sleep with me. After we hatch the egg, we'll leave the Evil Land of Falsehood. We'll bring Perosha with us and enjoy the scenery outside together." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"I'm so looking forward to it! The endless blue sky and the horizon that seems to never end, it makes me excited just thinking about it!" Wang Li said excitedly, clenching her pink fists.

"Don't worry, all this will become a reality in a few days." Li Xuan said, stroking the furry fox ears.

"By the way, Master, I have also been thinking about your weapon recently. However, I am still in the stage of collecting materials. I have read my father's notes. When the keepsake was made, black crystal extracts were used. For this, a large amount of top-grade black crystal is needed to smelt it. It may take a long time." Wang Li suddenly said.

"Oh? I almost forgot about this. As for the materials, I will ask Tang Xi to help you later. Although she has not been in contact with black crystal for a long time, she is a professional scientific researcher after all. Her understanding of the properties of black crystal may have surpassed anyone in the Lost Land." Li Xuan said.

"Is she so powerful?" Wang Li said in surprise.

"Ms. Tang Xi is the type who is good at everything, but her scientific and rigorous experimental thinking alone is already far ahead of the monsters in the Lost Land." Li Xuan answered seriously.

Considering Tang Xi's bright personality, Li Xuan rarely praised her in person. However, he still gave her a very high evaluation of her professional level in his heart. As she said, she really wasn't cut out for fighting. Such talents could only be put to the rear to play their greatest role. After all, the witches on the front line only needed to devote themselves to the battlefield, follow orders, and fight hard, but the personnel in the rear had a lot to consider.

"Then master, the issue of materials will be left to Miss Tang Xi. As for the shape of the weapon, what kind do you want?" Wang Li asked.

"I haven't thought about that... The sword is cool, and the spear is good too, but the attack range is not as good as my own tentacles and fel cannons. I am confident in the power, but when it comes to close combat, I usually just use liberation." Li Xuan spread his hands.

Chapter 426 Weapon Choice

"Hmm... This is a question that needs to be considered. The fighting style you usually prefer is mainly long-range... Let me think, the long-range weapons I can make include bows, crossbows, slingshots, throwing knives, javelins, blowguns, slingshots, and javelin throwers..." Wang Li asked.

"Don't even think about things that need to be recycled, as they can't withstand consumption. But you can try bows and crossbows. I can use compressed evil energy to make crossbow bolts or arrows for firing." Li Xuan nodded.

"There's one more thing I need to pay attention to: a bow requires a lot of practice to master. Has the master ever used a bow?"

"I haven't played it. The last time I touched a bow was in a game." Li Xuan shook his head.

"Then I would recommend the crossbow. Archers have a lot to practice, but with a crossbow, you only need to aim. It's easy to operate and has strong penetrating power. However, it's slightly inferior to the bow in terms of shooting speed, and it's not easy to throw. But these two advantages shouldn't be a big problem for you." Wang Li said.

"If I use a powerful crossbow to fire the crossbow arrows that I have compressed to the extreme...it will indeed be very powerful..." Li Xuan nodded. He used to use inert evil energy compressed to the extreme as armor and melee weapons, but if it could be fired, the power would definitely be much stronger than the compressed evil energy cannon.

Furthermore, if the power is concentrated at one point, it is foreseeable that the destructive effect on the barrier will be quite remarkable, which can be used to deal with the defensive barriers commonly used by magical girls.

However, if the power is too great, there seems to be something wrong.

"The power of the crossbow can be guaranteed, but the problem is that in many scenarios I need to capture the opponent alive. This thing is too powerful. If it kills someone in one shot, how can I capture him alive?" Li Xuan asked.

"I haven't thought of this... but it doesn't seem to be a big problem: if the master can control the shaping of evil energy, then he can also make crossbow arrows with blunt or even flat heads, just like firing a stone, which is less likely to kill the opponent." Wang Li suggested.

"Let me interject: I've purchased non-lethal weapons for shopping mall security before, and I've visited the manufacturer several times. They have a rope gun that shoots out a length of rope with hooks on both ends. The kinetic energy during the launch is just enough to tie up the opponent at a certain distance," said Lilika.

"When you mention this, I suddenly remembered the Y-gun in Gantz. It can shoot out ropes to capture the opponent, and even the hook will automatically hook onto the ground." Li Xuan added.

"You two, I'm a primitive man from the cold weapon era. I may not be able to make a very complicated mechanism." Seeing that his benefactor had such wild ideas, Wang Li quickly reminded him.

"It doesn't matter, we still have Tang Xi." Li Xuan smiled, opened the portal and pulled Tang Xi, who was slacking off, over.

"You discuss the making of the crossbow with Miss Wang Li. This is a weapon for me, so please be careful with it." Li Xuan said, patting her shoulder.

"Of course I will, just leave it to me! I'm not interested in fighting, but I am very interested in making weapons for others to fight!" Tang Xi said excitedly.

"If you need any resources or manpower, you can come to me at any time, and I will satisfy you to the greatest extent possible - Lilika, in terms of weapons production, any materials Tang Xi needs will be allocated to her." Li Xuan said.

"Yes, Master." Lilika lowered her head slightly.

"Master, don't worry! I will make the blueprint soon~" Tang Xi got Li Xuan's permission, and her toes curled up with excitement.

"In addition, I also need to measure the owner's ultimate strength to determine the strength of the material," said Wang Li.

"No problem, then let's go to the first platform together - Grandma Xingbai, you can come too, just take a break." Li Xuan said with a smile.

After saying that, Li Xuan brought the four girls to the first platform - actually, he originally wanted to go to the arena, but it had been used as an incubation site by Li Sijie, so he had to settle for the next best thing.

"If we want to test, we need a suitable target. Let me think about asking Miss Xingbai to help. Her spider silk is very tough and more suitable for testing strength." Wang Li said.

"Call me grandma when you don't need me, and call me miss when you don't need help?" Xingbai said with his arms crossed.

"Don't be angry~ We are all monster girls favored by the benefactor, so don't be so formal~" Wang Li said with a smile.

"Okay, then I allow you to call me Grandma Xingbai, but in return, I will also give you an ugly nickname! Let me think - I'll call you a vixen! Vixen! Vixen! The little vixen who seduces her master!" Xingbai kept repeating the nickname, as if she wanted to irritate Wang Li and let her experience what she felt.

"Well, you can call me like this from now on~ We can interact with each other and it won't be too awkward. Hehe, vixen, it sounds very much like the style of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio~~" Wang Li shrugged his furry fox ears and seemed to like the nickname quite a bit.

"Ah, why aren't you angry... I really miscalculated..." Xingbai said dejectedly.

"Okay, if you are shameless, you are invincible. A otaku who has lived for hundreds of years should stop arguing with modern people." Li Xuan said with a smile.

Seeing that Li Xuan had also spoken, Xingbai stopped arguing and made the strong spider silk according to Wang Li's requirements.

This time the spider silk was about the same thickness as Li Xuan's finger. If you only looked at a single strand, it was even tougher than the rope that Perosha used to pull down Kamisaki's "Amaterasu Omiya".

"First, it's the pulling force. Please try to pull this spider silk with both hands. You can use evil energy to assist, but you cannot use evil energy to attack directly." Wang Li said, handing the spider silk to Li Xuan.

"I'm not very good at strength." Li Xuan took the spider silk, gathered the evil energy in his arms and pulled it hard. Before he finished speaking, the spider silk was broken.

"What? It's so strong?!" Wang Li was shocked. She specifically instructed Xing Bai to make the spider silk tougher, but she didn't expect that it would be broken by Li Xuan in one go.

"You didn't cut corners, did you?" Tang Xi asked.

"Absolutely not! As long as this spider silk is not subjected to horizontal shear force, it should be difficult to break. My benefactor is really very strong." Xingbai said in surprise.

Li Xuan thought this was probably the result of absorbing over a hundred demon souls. He couldn't even tell how much fel energy he now possessed, but judging by the increase in strength alone, he was probably already capable of competing with Perosha.

"Grandma Xingbai, please attach a strengthening barrier to the spider silk and try again." Tang Xi suggested.

"It seems this is the only way." Xingbai worked hard to produce tougher spider silk, and at the same time attached a barrier of reinforcing materials on it, making the spider silk several times stronger than before.

Li Xuan took the new spider silk and pulled it with all his strength. The spider silk became two circles thinner. Fortunately, the defensive barrier was still effective and it did not break.

Chapter 427 Incubation

"Okay, next is grip strength..."

After a round of strength tests, Wang Li was already sweating profusely. "Your strength is already quite close to Sister Peroxia's. This may have exceeded the limits of existing materials. The reason Sister Peroxia doesn't use the sword that symbolizes her status is because even my father's masterpiece can't withstand her unreasonable strength."

"In that case, can we use a barrier to strengthen it like we did just now?" Tang Xi asked.

"Of course it's possible, but it seems that you, my benefactor, are not very good at barrier magic, right?" Wang Li said.

"I have an idea. I can engrave the inscriptions and patterns of the barrier on the weapon in advance. This way, the benefactor only needs to inject evil energy to activate the barrier." Xingbai suggested.

Three people were discussing enthusiastically. One of them was a scientific researcher, one was a blacksmith who inherited his family's craft, and one was a technology geek who had been staying at home for hundreds of years. Li Xuan, a cafe owner, really had no chance to get a word in, so he had to hug Lilika and watch the show, and only answered when he was occasionally asked.

The production of the weapon was more laborious than Li Xuan had imagined. The preparation steps alone took several days. During this time, Tang Xi and Wang Li studied the method of refining black crystal and tried to improve Wang Li's ancestral refining technology.

Li Xuan and the others were bored, so they played with the witches in the illusory evil land by flipping cards in various ways. They also tried to visit the captives Kamisaki and Kuang Lian several times, but the willpower of the two was unexpectedly strong, especially Kamisaki, who was the emperor, who was full of foul language and scolded Li Xuan.

However, Li Xuan was not polite to her. The more harshly Kamisaki scolded her, the more harshly he bullied her, until Kamisaki didn't even have the strength to speak.

On the fifth day, Li Xuan felt that the barrier of the arena began to loosen, and a strange evil energy came from it, so he hurried over.

As he expected, a crack appeared in the barrier and Li Sijie slowly walked out from it.

"You came really early. I was just about to call you." Li Sijie said with a smile.

"Is the hatching complete?" Li Xuan asked.

"That's right, the eggshell is about to break, but before that, please provide Xiao Qianji with some energy-rich nutrients. The consumption this time is greater than expected, and Xiao Qianji was almost exhausted to death." Li Sijie said with a smile.

"Oh, I've been busy lately and forgot to bring you some supplements..." Li Xuan said, slapping his forehead.

"It doesn't matter, we can make some on the spot." Li Sijie smiled and pulled Li Xuan in, and the barrier closed immediately.

The temperature inside the barrier is much higher than outside, and the humidity in the air is obviously better, and it also exudes the body fragrance of a beautiful girl.

Li Xuan looked at the egg that had been hatched and saw that the eggshell had become almost translucent. It looked like a huge gem with some faint cracks on it, but they were not obvious.

Ishigaki Chihime was wrapped around the egg. She was in an awakened state at this moment, always biting her tail, but she looked extremely weak. Not to mention the energy reaction, even the breath of life was barely visible.

Li Sijie stepped forward and loosened her mouth, and the liberation disappeared immediately. Ishigaki Chihiro, who had turned back into human form, lay limply on the ground, motionless as if dead.

"What on earth did you do to make her so weak?" Li Xuan asked curiously.

"It's nothing. I just used some tricks to force the liberation that could only last for a few minutes to last for five days." Li Sijie said with a smile.

"I'm really curious, what method did you use? From the moment I stepped into this barrier, I felt something strange, as if some common sense was distorted or tampered with." Li Xuan asked.

"It's just a trivial matter. Compared to this, we have to give Xiao Qianji some supplements as soon as possible, otherwise she will die." Li Sijie said, pulling down Li Xuan's pants with her teeth, opening her mouth and squeezing out some highly concentrated milky white blood of corruption, and then feeding it to Ishigaki Qianji mouth to mouth.

After drinking Li Xuan's essence, Ishigaki Chihime slowly opened her eyes, but she still looked dying and seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

"Is she okay? Should she be sent for treatment?" Li Xuan asked worriedly.

"She won't die. Xiao Qianji is the descendant of an ancient snake and has very strong vitality." Li Sijie said nonchalantly.

"Save me...Don't...Don't let me die..." Ishigaki Chihiro held Li Sijie's ankle, looked up at her with a pitiful look and said.

At this moment, the eggshell made a crisp cracking sound and the cracks on it became obvious.

"Don't worry, you won't die. I will provide you with enough energy to recover." Li Xuan picked up Ishigaki Chihiro and contacted Lilika through the consciousness channel, asking her to collect the corrupted blood produced recently into the bathtub, and then opened the portal.

"Before that, I would like to ask you to take out the needle near Qianji's heart. This is my promise to her." Li Xuan said.

"Since it is Mr. Li's request, I naturally have no objection." Li Sijie said, gently kissing Ishigaki Chihiro's chest. When she released her lips, there was a thin needle in her mouth.

"Thank you... for not letting me get close to this woman again. Apart from that, you can let me do anything you want." Ishigaki Chihiro said to Li Xuan with gratitude.

"Go, rest and recuperate for a while. I have arranged someone to take care of you." Li Xuan gently comforted Qianji, then teleported her to the bathtub and soaked her in the corrupted blood with extremely high energy density.

"She seems very grateful to you. This is not bad. I will be the bad guy and you can take all the benefits." Li Sijie said with a smile.

"I didn't intentionally let you be a bad guy." Li Xuan spread his hands.

"Of course, I do all this voluntarily. It's a very happy thing for me to see you grow step by step." Li Sijie said happily.

"By the way, you changed the subject just now, didn't you? Because I asked you about your abilities, so you avoided the topic." Li Xuan asked.

"No way. Speaking of which, the air in this barrier is not very good. Do you want me to burn some incense?" Li Sijie asked.

"Look, you've gone off topic again. You deliberately only use the most basic seals and barriers in front of me. Are you trying to hide your true abilities?" Li Xuan asked in a joking tone.

"You're right, I did keep my true abilities a secret from you. But I didn't use seals and barriers to hide my abilities. It's just because I'm practicing these basic magics." Li Sijie said frankly.

"You are really a woman who likes to keep a sense of mystery. You have obviously done it, but you still refuse to show me everything." Li Xuan said with a smile.

"One day, one day I will give myself to you completely, so please be patient~" Li Sijie said, gently kissing Li Xuan's lips.

Chapter 428 Breaking Out of the Shell

The eggshell made another crisp sound, this time crackling all the way to the bottom. Seeing this, Li Xuan took Li Sijie's hand and looked at the eggshell quietly.

The two-meter-tall dome shattered with a series of resounding cracks, sending jewel-like fragments tumbling down. When the cracks widened enough, something white protruded from within.

Li Xuan clearly saw that it was a hand, a slender and long human hand, as white and delicate as ivory, and judging from the size, it seemed to be the size of a normal human.
