The tour guide called a business car with the Five-Colored Narcissus Company logo to pick up Nalu and drive away from the dock area. A row of white factory greenhouses came into view in front of them.
"The world-famous special medicine for infectious diseases is produced here." The tour guide introduced: "The main production area covers an area equivalent to three football fields, and there are underground structures. So far, no leaks have occurred. Of course, it is outdated to view it as a pharmaceutical company. At present, the branch company is developing mobile communications, the Internet, smart phones and other projects. It is estimated that the press conference is not far away, and the cutting-edge products have been closely watched by the military procurement."
“It’s really remarkable.”
Even though she knew that the founder possessed magical powers, she still praised him because the most difficult part lies in organization, coordination and leadership charisma.
Naru always felt that the aura that belonged only to magical girls was becoming more and more dense.
There must be many of their kind in the pharmaceutical factory area, but this aura also makes his own magic more and more evident.
Finally, the group stepped into the office building at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory park, which is also the tallest building in the coastal area. It is majestic and magnificent. When she entered the lobby, the receptionist greeted her without her having to introduce herself. Nalu walked to a clean white room.
There are three girls in front of the long table. According to their work badges, they are:
The HR consultant is Xia Er. The IT engineering team leader is Xiang Yunwei. The broadcasting department HR team leader is Kelly. All three are very young but have a calm and reliable temperament.
Almost as soon as they pushed the door open, they all exchanged glances at lightning speed, confirming without a doubt that they were all magical girls.
But the process cannot be changed.
After saying "Hello everyone", Naru sat down on a chair opposite the long table with a nervous heart. To be honest, it was the first time she saw a magical girl of her kind, and the magical pressure of that girl named Kaili was faintly locked in her, and her strength should be greater than hers.
After she gave a brief and polite introduction to her background, she fell silent and waited for the three interviewers to ask questions.
The first person to break the silence was Xiang Yunwei, the head of the information engineering team. She flipped through the documents and said, "Your resume shows your experience in various places. It looks quite impressive."
“It’s just a helpless rush.”
"To be honest, your social records are very incomplete or even non-existent. Perhaps it has something to do with the expansion of the Pacific occupation zone three years ago? But this also means that we cannot fully understand the applicant. I sympathize with your country's experience, and of course the loss of data is an objective fact."
"I know, so feel free to ask me. My biggest secret is no longer a secret here anyway."
Nalu didn't realize that her speech was becoming easier and easier, and her magic power was also slightly loosened.
Xiang Yunwei no longer paid attention to the information but took out a bulky laptop and started typing on the keyboard, while signaling Xia Er beside him to continue the process.
HR consultant? Weird job title.
While the other person was looking at her, Naru was also observing. This girl was wearing a brown windbreaker and a gentleman's hat, which made her look like a detective... No, this should be some kind of special dress, between the second awakening and the third awakening.
"May I ask how you got here?" Charles asked sharply.
"Through the aerobics ads, I investigated the companies that placed the ads, as well as three outsourcing companies, four agency commissions, and more than a dozen different legal representatives, and finally I got to the Five-Color Narcissus Company. By the way, actually I had commissioned a private detective before this, but it was interrupted due to various accidents. When it was my turn to investigate, everything went smoothly. It felt like their bad luck had become my good luck..."
Nalu frowned slightly in the middle of her speech. Why did she suddenly open her mouth and speak out everything she thought and felt? She could not help but speak out from her mind to her mouth without any concealment.
"You are very smart."
After Ciel praised him, he said frankly, "We will arrange a position designed specifically for you. Even if you don't want to be a regular employee, it's fine. It's only natural to help you for the sake of our compatriots. We are not like mercenaries or the military. You can choose not to do anything."
"Being raised? Thank you for your kindness, but I like adventure."
"You have misunderstood. This is a welfare benefit, a bonus we have won through struggle. Every compatriot is entitled to it. You can think of it as a way to win over others."
"I like you guys more and more. How can you be so willing to give me up?"
"We would be lucky if even one out of ten people is willing to devote themselves to the cause. The key lies in non-coercion, enthusiasm and high welfare. One of our leaders once said: The cause of expanding territory can be achieved by spending money to hire mercenaries to risk their lives, but defending the country must rely on soldiers with morality, morale and knowledge, that is, good families. Our cause is higher than defending the country and has higher requirements."
Nalu heard the hidden meaning, which was nothing more than the choice of joining the Five-Colored Narcissus or joining the Salvation Church, a crossroads in life.
Whatever.
The former means that he can support you for your whole life. Anyway, he is rich and has no shortage of money. Such mundane things are easily available to the magical girl. She just "withdrawn" 100 tons of gold easily, so this condition is very convincing.
The latter means a militarized organization, which at least will not indulge you in being free and undisciplined. If you use your brain, you will know that the cult that protects civilization and fights against disaster beasts does not want your ragtag army.
Nalu flipped her hand and took out a shining gold coin. "It just so happens that I am not short of money. I want fame, so that the world will not forget my hometown. If the magical girl water lily can become famous, then someone should remember that I was born on an island in the occupied area."
Kelly suddenly said, "Don't bother. We will take back the occupied areas one day."
“I hope I’ll be one of them then.”
Just when the atmosphere was harmonious, Charles suddenly mentioned: "According to our investigation, your financial situation is very special. You are very generous and often donate gold. However, the reliability of this 'gold' only lasts for a few days or weeks before it becomes just a surface work and does not conform to the corresponding physical constants. What's going on?"
How is that possible? I was obviously very careful. I used hypnosis and the greedy effect of magic when I spent money. I shouldn't have been exposed.
Nalu pondered for a moment before she realized, "What investigation? It's inference!"
"Skills Department, Master Detective. Abilities include but are not limited to cold reading, psychological profiling, deduction, etc., so I was sent here to test the reliability of the newcomers."
"You don't care about the personal spending habits of your members. Are you testing their combat IQ?"
"That's right again." After hearing this, Ciel clapped his hands and then said, "Since you volunteered to join the cult, the members of the organization must disclose the basic effects of magic to each other. You have the right to hide or incompletely disclose them, but you must provide a reliable reference. After all, you don't want your teammates to hide all kinds of things and then become food together when fighting against the disaster beast, right?"
"It's like announcing the color of your underwear."
"So the whole sect doesn't wear skirts and only underwear..."
Kelly knocked on Ciel's head, and then warned with a serious face: "Magical Girl Water Lily, you are suppressing your magic too much, which may be dangerous. I suggest you demonstrate it directly. Don't worry, I can take it."
"Why go around in so many circles? Why don't you just directly state the selling point. Don't hide it. Try to release it as much as possible. There will definitely be a lot of people joining." Upon hearing this, Nalu smiled and sat up.
Area closure -
Almost at the same time, the office building was shrouded in an illusion.
The interview room was a circular shell, with a smooth and golden surface, and the texture seemed to be engraved on an ancient mural. The interior space seemed even more vast, with layers of stone buildings filled with golden statues, walls, and altars. The air seemed to be filled with the distant and mysterious sound of bells.
"Domain magic, Golden City." The user took the initiative to introduce, "Be careful, you will become a money-grubber and then assimilate into gold..."
Before he finished speaking, Charles was already swimming in the sea of gold coins, cheering, with a layer of gold powder covering his skin.
Xiang Yunwei calmly made a judgment: "Situational domain, with abnormal status skills, has pre-judgment conditions. It seems that the true self domain like Senior Dandelion's, which has almost no conditions, is very rare and the most difficult to deal with."
"Don't underestimate the situational realm. It is very suitable for sneak attacks as long as the conditions allow."
Kelly's confident words made the two look puzzled, especially Nalu, who didn't believe that her magic, which had always been successful, would fail. Even some disaster beasts suffered from it.
"When did you get the illusion that I didn't expand my domain?"
Chapter 143 Breakthrough Growth Period (6K)
How can it be!
Following Kelly's question, Xiang Yunwei and Nalu became even more confused. Logically speaking, they could indeed activate field magic in advance to trap the opponent inside, which was a unique fighting method of this type against other types. However, activating field closure of the same type at the same time would definitely cause a collision, comparable to the explosion of high explosives.
After eliminating all impossibilities, there is only one option left: domain projection wraps domain closure.
At the same time, the dome of the Golden City began to peel off pieces, and outside it was reflected a fish-eye view of a classroom, or more like the interview room just now.
Seeing this, Nalu hid her face and smiled: "That's amazing. I thought I was very vigilant, but your cult is really professional."
As a user of domain magic, she knew the outcome was decided. If she could master projection, she could return to the bombardment, but she didn't. Then the opponent could directly break the edge of the domain from the outside. The reason she didn't do this was to avoid backlash damage and give the newcomer a chance to release magic. Nalu appreciated this kindness and simply meditated on the spot to adjust the flow of magic.
Xiang Yunwei murmured, "This is the operation level of the seedling stage. You have achieved at least half of the two elements of life sublimation."
"I will repay my companions with even greater strength."
Kelly has always hated the fact that she was a weak little girl who was forced to help the mercenary company under pressure. Although everyone has forgiven her for the past, she will not let it go. This unwillingness has turned into motivation to keep moving forward.
The magical girl Iris has to stand on her own, and has found a new path after being baptized by the catastrophe war.
The inspiration for the surprise attack to suppress magic for newcomers and avoid the risk of rampage comes from Senior Dandelion. For example, the idea of "how to gain an advantage in a domain battle against a being that is almost or even stronger than you" is to imprison the person first and then defeat him. The specific operation is to use the maximum degree of domain projection to cover a very large area and attack them by surprise.
What would it be like if the microcosmic realm expanded to its extreme? It was unimaginable, but from Dandelion's words and actions, it seemed that he could not restrain the imaginary enemy, the catastrophe beast?
While Kelly was thinking, Naru on the opposite side had adjusted her surprise attack to slow down her magic, and Charles also came back to his senses from his money-obsessed state.
"Well done."
"I'm sorry, it's hard for me to suppress it by myself."
"But I still don't quite understand why you can use fake gold coins. Can you explain it to me if it's convenient for you?"
A handful of gold coins appeared in Nalu's hand and she flipped them casually between her fingers. "I told you that life forms attracted to gold will gradually transform into gold, which is equivalent to petrification and hibernation. Similarly, applying magic to some stones can also temporarily show the properties of gold."
"That's right. There should be restrictions. Otherwise, you can destroy the gold standard economy by yourself. The turmoil would be no less than a successful invasion by a catastrophe beast."
"And I only lasted a short time. I just reached the triple awakening."
Before he finished speaking, Nalu took the initiative to withdraw from the Golden City area, otherwise it would be damaged by itself and would cause a certain amount of damage, which would not feel good.
Kelly suggested: "The domain's scale, strength, and effect are all good, but you should have seen the battle videos of Senior Dandelion and the others, right? Domain magic can deform, control the inside, and squeeze the outside... You still need to practice in this area. Of course, it's not your fault, after all, you lack systematic training."
"So I can join?"
"Of course, the cult welcomes every member who is committed to protecting civilization and safeguarding the interests of the group to participate."
The two girls shook hands tightly and let down their guard.
"I'm still dizzy." Seeing the interview room restored, Ciel scratched his head. "But it feels good, like traveling to a wonderland. Miss Naru, your magic is very interesting."
"...Most people would say I'm mentally ill or a liar. This is the first time I've heard such comments from you."
Xiang Yunwei took out his phone and looked at it while supporting Xia Er. He said, "There's news from headquarters that the group dinner is about to start. We can't miss it. Let's transmit it."
Nalu was confused when she heard what he meant, but she still followed the two seniors and drove to a private island off the coast of Ningfeng Port: Firework Island. The bright five-color Narcissus company logo proved that this place belonged to the company, but it was more secluded than expected. Even though the helipad, garage, manor, port and other facilities were all available, it was lifeless, with a luxurious atmosphere like a rich man buying a big toy and then putting it aside.
She went straight to the basement beneath an old military base, where a totem was clearly engraved.
Kelly took the initiative to explain: "The space relic, the telescope, can help us travel freely between different cities. However, no matter how much we explain, it is not as good as experiencing it in person. Be prepared-"
Although it was just a reminder, the teleportation array had already been activated. Then Naru felt like she was thrown into a washing machine, tossing around and feeling dizzy.
hum!
After a piercing roar, the group arrived at the palm-fringed beach.
Even the Magical Girl Water Lily was shaken by the experience of teleporting for the first time. She barely looked around and saw a grand party with fragrance everywhere.
A closer look reveals that it is much more lively than imagined: the famous hyacinth is surrounded by a hysteresis force field and is playing the game of "Eagle Catches Chicken" with its companions. Once it is caught, its body becomes frozen and a lot of photos are taken. It is clearly a chasing game being played out on the beach.
It is indeed quite novel that the most powerful magic recognized by the public, which makes countless people tremble with fear and lose sleep, is used to play "statue".
On the other side, a giant golden dragon in the sky was carrying those who had not yet reached the third level of awakening to experience flying through the clouds, causing a burst of cheers.
Nalu was stunned by the scene of love affairs. She thought it was a serious meeting but it turned out to be like an amusement park.
This is a novel game that belongs only to magical girls. Indeed, for the cult whose average age is no more than 20 years old, fighting and playing is more suitable, which makes them look a little vicissitudes of life.
Ciel was the first to run over and yell, "Protea-senpai, I'm not in the car yet."
Xiang Yunwei and Kelly, who stayed behind, introduced the newcomers. As expected of the first batch of generally recruited members of the cult, they gave off a reliable feeling of adults.
hum!
The teleportation array next to them flashed with light, and it was all the members of the Clover. Elsa, who was in the lead, waved and greeted the group that had just arrived: "Hello, everyone. It seems that we are very predestined, as we were both the last group to arrive."
Her cheerful smile startled Naru. As both were magical girls, she actually thought the other was beautiful from the bottom of her heart.
"Welcome, thank you for coming all the way here."
A girl in a white and green dress came to greet them. It was Dandelion, the strongest magic user of the Domain System and the second-in-command of the Salvation Cult. Soon, everyone was chatting happily under her control.
Naru was completely relieved. Yes, Hermit Island could definitely be called her new home.
……
Sands of time, relative flow rate!
Hibiscus once again captured several slow-moving magical girls in the chasing game with her slow force field. They all started to freeze in their movements and even had frightened expressions. Their companions took photos immediately, and this cycle became a scene at the party, and everyone had a great time.
Although the girls are smiling, they are actually the most tired. Fortunately, they have done high-intensity exercise for a week, otherwise they might not have been able to hold on.
However, after a while even the magical girl got tired of the statue game and had to take a break. One can imagine the endurance of the Sands of Time when operating at low power.
Hibiscus actually only maintained a flow rate of 2 times within a 2.5-meter radius around the body, trying to see the effect over a long period of time, treating it as part of the game. Unexpectedly, the organizer still had enough energy to spare while the players were exhausted.
beep!
The system has given a prompt:
[Completion suggestion: Perform "Time Magic Training One Thousand Times" in a row. Reward has been issued: Small Gift Equipment Advanced Stone × 1]
[Completion suggestion: Hold a "Salvation Church Welcome Party" Rewards have been issued: New stage knowledge of Sand of Time]
It was much faster than expected. Without realizing it, Mu Jin had used up the time magic at high intensity for a thousand times. No, perhaps the change in flow rate was actually a kind of efficiency improvement. As for summoning the members of the cult, it was actually part of the schedule. In fact, most of the tasks in the system were automatically completed in response to the current events. In this way, she obtained two key items.
The silver-haired girl sat on the ground and checked carefully. The small gift equipment advancement stone materialized and she put it on, which was enough to consolidate the new breakthrough result of the glove part of the gift equipment she had just completed.
Capturing the magic power can make the magic change in unimaginable ways or even become completely different.
It’s not enough to just pile up numbers and strengths, it also requires operation.
For example, the upgraded ceremonial equipment allows Mu Jin to transform the time slash into zigzag lines and curves instead of the previous straight attack. Although the power seems to be similar, the threat level is greatly increased, and it is more difficult for the target to dodge or defend.
