I, the villain, have a system for listening to advice

[Brother, when did you come? Yes, I have a mother too]

[Stop telling jokes about hell, let's be serious. Cause and effect magic requires balance. If you choose to accept the good luck brought by Jin Ruochu, you will buy into her account sooner or later... Although our Hyacinthus topic owner seems to have bought into her account many times.]

[She helped for free before, but now she has started to charge interest. In my opinion, Wen Shulan should repay her kindness with her own body.]

[No, he should marry into the Jin family, kick out his father-in-law and uncle, and go public directly through a backdoor listing]

[What is a wealthy family? Hyacinthus doesn’t care about it]

...I'm not that noble.

Mu Jin really wanted to clarify that she really liked money, the kind that no amount was enough. But forget about the drama of marrying into a wealthy family, she had already decided to devote herself to her career, and the close relationship with her comrades who were also beautiful girls was no better than the circle of money? Magic was the blue ocean of the future.

Thinking of this, she continued to ask, "Everyone has said that the next hot spot is to invest in the Internet, but it requires a lot of trial and error. Can Jin Ruochu ensure that it goes smoothly?"

[It seems to be true now that you put it that way, after all, there is the example of Changfeng Zaibatsu.]

[This thing cannot decide how to achieve it. For example, disaster and blessing can make your investment in industrial technology a sure thing, or it can cause your competitors to go bankrupt in a matter of minutes after tax investigation. No one can figure out the specific rules of the cause and effect system, especially in battle, it is even more weird and unstable. From the sun expanding to swallowing planets to falling down on a banana peel, the user can only pay the price of luck and follow the balance of disaster and blessing. Jin Ruochu may not know how it works, so be careful when using it.]

[Approximately equal to: Miracle to You + Train of Love]

[Also, I almost forgot. Jin Ruochu is the rare type that occupies both the main role and the supporting role at the same time. Gaining her favor will bring good luck. @Fengxinzi, do you feel that there is something different these days?]

"Indeed!"

Chapter 44: Open Favorability

Mu Jin suddenly realized that it was no wonder that she felt that everything went smoothly, such as opening a clinic and registering a company. It turned out that Jin Ruochu had contributed to this. He was a little lucky charm, and she must treat him well in the future.

Therefore, the system rewards the so-called "opening of favorability" to represent good luck.

Wait, there is no way to explain what "opening Nan Zhiyi's favorability" means? Could it be considered as a helper joining the sect? Probably, maybe the reward will be more substantial if powerful magical girls come to the sect and even form an organization to unify them.

This pattern coincides with Mu Jin's actions. Even without a system, she would try to gather manpower sooner or later. After all, there is strength in numbers.

What's important is that you can represent a force and implement its goals.

The girl answered "yes". After all, she had indeed tasted what it was like to be lucky, and her life began to go simple.

Unfortunately, this also means that Jin Ruchu is going to be unlucky. After all, luck will never disappear, it will only be transferred. Causal magic is most concerned with rules and laws.

[I actually experienced the blessing of good luck! This shows that Jin Ruochu’s favorability is quite high. In the past, only those who had gone through life and death with the protagonists had a little effect, and it was limited to drawing ten consecutive double gold cards.]

[I think so. Give me one.]

[What did I see? Can Crinum orchid and Hyacinthus really work in this timeline? Okay, I've knocked it, more of that.]

[As long as you update the topic of "Wenfeng Party", I will like and collect it every time]

[Hurry up grain production]

[You don't have to worry too much. For the person Jin Ruochu likes, there is an extra luck boost. It doesn't follow the law of conservation. Not all of it is bought by her. Unless you run a business like Jin Changfeng, the luck required is too large. Otherwise, if you just talk about business smoothly, it won't produce a causal balance. It can be called a win-win situation, and everyone is happy.]

Mu Jin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the news. After all, she didn't want Jin Ruchu to fall because of her good luck. Both parties should owe each other nothing.

[By the way, you should have experienced how troublesome it is to have blessings and disasters. In short, remember one thing: the more powerful the ability, the stricter the conditions. For example, damage transfer cannot be to those with strong magic power, it cannot be too far away, and it consumes a lot of your own magic power...]

[As expected of the protagonist, the Magic of Blessing and Misfortune is in the top tier in terms of survivability in the early stages.]

[For example, other people's damage immunity mechanism gives 2 or 3 lives, but she can transfer damage with 0 lives]

【I am super, original】

...After some communication, the mechanisms of the early stages of disaster and blessing are clear in mind. No matter whether it is an enemy or a friend, the weakness is first grasped, which also gives the girl a sense of urgency:

The Sands of Time show no signs of evolving.

She had never been lazy, and had several sparring matches since the battle with the vanguard beast... but that didn't count, and she had no sense of accomplishment in bullying Nan Zhiyi and Jin Ruochu. She had always strived to be the first, determined to establish her position as the strongest among magical girls with the first-mover advantage, but now she was stuck in the triple awakening for so many days, and still didn't know where the next stage of the Sand of Time should go?

The development results that netizens have explained in advance are of little reference value because there is no process and you still have to rely on yourself for the details.

Hibiscus Editor asked a new question: "You said that the great catastrophe will happen in six months and will be more serious than before. Are there any major events before that?"

In order to practice her magic, she had to take the initiative to find things to do.

[It’s very difficult. The author is now in the “prequel timeline” and there are no major events. We don’t know where to start.]

[Wait a minute. Judging from the original anime, it is indeed in the prequel stage, but what if we include games, novels, outer comics and even stage plays? Our "Light and Magic" series is a cross-media and multi-field project.]

[The above reminds me that at least the spin-off games "Relic: Treasure Hunters" and "Quest: Pre-Era" do have an earlier timeline]

[Based on the standard of "clearly interpreted scenes", not counting "textual description of the past", it can be known that the earliest one was the night before the college entrance examination of Feng Xin Zi, which was mentioned in her personal confession in the final battle. The second earliest one was the kidnapping of Wen Shu Lan... Yes, that was the one with the Storm Gang. It's connected.]

[This post was born in memory of Saint Hibiscus]

[The Light and Magic series is so long and confusing that I can’t remember it anymore. You are the real opticians.]

[This is an exaggeration. In fact, no one has ever compiled a yearbook of major events that collects all media planning. As a result, when the questioner asked me, I couldn’t do it.]

【Brainstorm】

[I have the impression that there should be other events in the past six months, and they are related to relics. They are actually related to magical girls, fairies, and even disaster beasts... I can't help but spoil it again. The rule of the topic is that you can't talk too far ahead. We have to find the events corresponding to the time point accurately.]

[Spoilers are allowed, but not too far ahead, or it will cause trouble if the Fairy Knights pay attention]

[Be careful, there are relics of divination and prophecy in the Gaia star world, and fairies can also observe fate. If you change too many key events and attract the attention of all parties, it will be disadvantageous to Hyacinth.]

Mu Jin didn’t quite understand it, but the other party did tend to consider himself, otherwise the system would not filter it as valid information.

As a time magic user, she doesn't care about the future. The sands of time exist for change, so it doesn't matter whether there are spoilers or not.

From the few words, we can know that although "Magical Girl of Light" is known as a hot-blooded anime for children, there are many shady things. It is not worth it to blow up the late-stage BOSS in advance. Therefore, she asked the system to block too advanced content as much as possible. The important thing is to grasp the present. The catastrophe is not far away. The top priority is to practice time magic, first improve the most cost-effective power and then make up for the shortcomings. Time is not waiting for me, so keep up the good work.

[I checked and found that there were indeed several events during this period, but they were not easy to trigger and we had to worry about the poison of knowledge.]

[It will be safer if we sort it out for a while]

[Wait a minute, OP]

Mu Jin temporarily closed the system page. Anyway, she knew all the magic mechanisms of blessing and disaster that she should know. The rest was a matter of chance. After she sorted out her mood, she did the magic girl activity exercise as usual to calm down her sense of urgency. Although the sand of time had no reaction, the basic attributes were improved.

Click. After turning off the lights, the room was dark, with only a few scattered lights from another building outside the window. It was late at night and everything was silent.

She stretched, lay on the bed and wrapped herself in the quilt like a spring roll.

Mu Jin has lived alone for a long time. When she goes to sleep, she always likes to close the door and protect herself tightly with a quilt. Even though she has become a magical girl who can kill a cow with one punch, her nature is hard to change.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, I felt a push on my back, as if something was supporting the bed, and even a sense of life.

"What the hell?" Mu Jin was a little overwhelmed. She thought to herself, I finally finished two days' work and was planning to catch up on some sleep, but something unexpected happened. No matter if you are Sadako or Kayako, if you dare to disturb someone's sweet dream, I will beat you into a fool.

The skilled and courageous girl looked under the bed with an angry look on her face.

Chapter 45 Investigation (Update)

A branch that was as crystal clear as jade but bright red in color stretched out, with such force that it slightly supported the bed.

Almost forgot about this stuff!

Mu Jin immediately remembered the remains of a blood vessel disaster beast and the exorcism incense placed under the bed. Now, taking a closer look, the exorcism incense was dim, as if it had been seriously drained of vitality, and the originally thick blood vessels were gone. It should have shrunk and grown again into the "blood tree" in front of it.

How careless was I to put this thing under the bed and use it as a pillow?

A strong breath of life emanated from the vicinity of the blood tree. Seeing this, Hibiscus tried to cut her finger and suppress her regeneration ability, but she did not expect that it would heal automatically after touching the blood-red mist.

Inconvenient to carry blood recovery potion?

Netizens said that the power of powerful disaster beasts is basically inseparable from three attributes: destruction, creation, and spirit. But weak individuals, such as the vanguard disaster beast, can't even see the basic attributes, they are too weak. In other words, the wreckage that made Mu Jin feel the strong breath of creation came from a very powerful disaster beast. So the Baoyu Gang got lucky? It's really possible, after all, they kidnapped Jin Ruochu at that time.

The incident is still fermenting after so long, fortunately it is not bad news. The blood tree should have some magical uses, such as serving as a permanent treatment point, which is better than a hospital.

Nothing happens without a smoke. This change is probably due to the combined effect of the exorcism incense and the magical girl.

Mu Jin guessed that the remains of the powerful disaster beast still had some power. The exorcism incense purified its violent and uncontrollable side, and as a magical girl, she tended to nourish the magic power for a long time to guide the birth of a new form, and the props that absorbed flesh and blood became a treasure that radiated healing power.

She tried to pay attention to the magic and it did react.

The truth is revealed. Its mechanism is to store life energy so that it can emit healing power on a large scale one day. Whoever injects it will benefit. It is enough to serve as a field treatment point.

Life is full of surprises, and perhaps at this moment the blood tree can be called a "relic". This name refers to the general term for "objects with controllable strange powers" discovered by human archaeology. It is generally believed to have come from the pre-Gaixia civilization and still affects modern society.

For example, the world's most famous relic, the "Floating Ring", can make objects weightless, and the unobstructed route between the Earth and the Moon depends entirely on it.

But no one stipulates that newly created strange objects are not considered relics, and the blood tree is absolutely priceless.

If you think about it carefully, the "blank identity card" that was used not long ago and the "exorcism incense" that is now lying quietly in your hand and slowly recovering its purifying power are both relics.

The products produced by the system must be of high quality.

Mu Jin carefully wrapped the blood tree with cloth and compressed its size a little, and put it under her bed. Since it can absorb life energy and store it, it's just right. She can break off one and carry it with her at ordinary times.

With this thought in mind, the girl continued to fall into a deep sleep, vowing to make up for the few days of fatigue.

the other side.

After the attack, the Changfeng Chaebol experimental building was blocked overnight, the surrounding area was brightly lit and densely cordoned. A day later, countless armed personnel still arrived to impose martial law.

Jin Changfeng drove slowly to the scene, looking calm and composed, which made Jin Yulu, who had been on guard all day, look angry. He complained, "You have left a mess for us. They said that giving you the things to study is a sign of trust, and if you mess up, you will have to pay the price."

The man in a suit burped rather inelegantly, then patted his belly which was covered with solid abdominal muscles with a look of satisfaction.

"Yes, I drank several glasses of wine as punishment, and the leaders said it would not happen again. As for the issue of public compensation, the taxpayers will have to suffer."

"What the hell -"

Jin Yulu wanted to punch him, but she was not stupid. Jin Changfeng, who was good at dealing with people, maintained close contact with various forces. For some reason, he could always get in touch with big shots and had connections far beyond his economic strength. What was a mere city hall? He spent the first 12 hours yesterday holding a banquet to appease his subordinates, and the next 12 hours running around the state capital. The rest was nothing. Such a dimensionality reduction attack left Jin Yulu with nowhere to attack.

Before she could express her opinion, her immediate superior, Director of the Countermeasures Bureau Li Congzhou, started chatting with Jin Changfeng arm in arm, and it was obvious that the incident in the laboratory building that had caused a big fuss was over.

Forget it, as long as there are no casualties she doesn't care.

"Captain, don't be fooled by that guy's complacency. In fact, the matter is not entirely under the control of the Changfeng Financial Group. The International Mercenary Alliance has already intervened to investigate the corpse of the disaster beast."

"This is not good news."

As a practitioner, Jin Yulu knows best that there is chaos in the field of human warfare against disaster beasts. Because the armed forces of various countries are mainly used to guard against each other, there are a lot of troublesome problems such as pensions, war weariness, military expenditures, etc. when directly fighting against disaster beasts. Over time, the enthusiasm has declined.

On the other hand, many relics are actually held by private individuals, especially some key lethal types, who spontaneously form transnational interest groups.

The casualties caused by the attacks of the beasts are just superficial changes. The more important significance is that it has hit the organization, strictness and credibility of the state as the main body. As a result, no one is willing to take the blame for the leader who ordered a large number of soldiers to die. The government urgently needs to reduce costs and increase efficiency. Mercenaries, which are known for their low cost and low public pressure, have gradually come onto the stage of history. They are supported by several powerful companies and even form alliances. They naturally become a super-sovereign power because they control violence.

Jin Yu-lu believes that the government's decentralization of power to companies will undermine human organization in the long run and cause endless harm.

Da da!

There was the sound of high heels pacing, and for some reason everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked at the person coming:

Eight people in blue nun uniforms walked together, with the same gait, body shape, temperament and even the casual waving of hands. Without exception, they all wore thick black veils to cover their faces, making it doubtful whether they could see the road. When the eight people walked to the laboratory building together, there was a strange atmosphere.

"Welcome, Your Excellency Pesha."

The chairman of the chaebol and the director of the Countermeasures Bureau expressed their welcome one after another. At the same time, the special attack forces also saluted solemnly. After all, this man was a true hero who had defeated the vanguard disaster beasts and cleared out large-scale infected bodies several times.

Not only is she an investigator, soldier and researcher, she is also the head of the East Continent's defense and the president of the Winter Mercenary Group. She can be considered an old friend of Jin Changfeng.

Even without mentioning their battle records, those who have integrated powerful relics can be said to have sacrificed themselves, and this iron will is enough to be admired.

Just as there are cults that worship disaster beasts, there are naturally also cults that worship these hunters. That group of fanatical believers claim that those who have completely integrated the relics have dedicated their bodies and minds, lived towards death, and can no longer be human beings but protect civilization. They can be said to be holy relics walking in the world. Over time, the title has become a symbol.

"It's an emergency and I only brought eight people with me. Is that enough?"

The nuns spoke together in unison.

"enough."

"You're afraid that I'll steal your achievements, right? Don't worry, everyone is using the technology anyway, I'm happy to help you advance the iteration."

"Actually, I want to investigate the humanoid life form that killed the Vanguard Disaster Beast."

Chapter 46 Early Warning of New Disasters

Jin Changfeng explained the current investigation results in detail. In short, it was confirmed that a "person" killed the vanguard disaster beast.

The important thing is that it is not like the holy remains that have certain pollution. For example, ordinary people will become mentally depressed and physically weak if they look at it for too long. It is a degraded version of the pressure of the disaster beast. The murderer used a pure power that had never been seen before to kill the target efficiently.

"I've heard some speculations circulating in the mercenary community." Pesha's covered face seemed to convey a sharp gaze. "If they are hiding, just hide. Don't provoke them."

"How dare I? I just think I have found a new direction for fusion technology, so I ask you to research it."

“I don’t guarantee the outcome.”

"But we must not let go of any power that can kill the disaster beast."
