What is a Magic Girl's new form?
Nan Jiayu fell into thought upon hearing this question.
"Hmm... you mean, like my Shrike Form and Cat Fist Form?"
"Not that, it's just... how to put it..."
The little Fox Fox grabbed her tail and ears, gesticulating in the air with both hands.
"It's that completely new stance that suddenly erupts when facing a desperate situation! The super cool and super powerful kind!"
"Oh, you're talking about that."
Hellcat suddenly understood.
Then she nodded.
"I saw it when I was in Shanghai. The Magic Girl, Bai Lili, displayed a stance similar to what you described, Fox Fox, when facing an attack from a giant Octopus Monster."
"The Observers called it Star Shadow. I remember quite a few people recorded videos back then, and Bai Lili herself officially announced it afterward. Do you want me to look through old videos for you?"
"No need to trouble you, Cat Girl. It's getting late, so you should go back and rest early. I'll look through them myself when I get back~"
Su Tianqing nodded cheerfully, lightly approaching the Cat Girl.
A touch and then she retreated.
"Because I didn't consume any magic power today, I'll stop here."
"Goodbye, Cat Girl, see you tomorrow~"
Watching the little Fox Fox activate her teleportation magic and disappear, Nan Jiayu stood blankly on the Villain's rooftop, staring dazedly in the direction she vanished.
The scent of gardenias still lingered at her nose.

【secret codex hidden page unlocked】
After returning home to wash up and brush her teeth, the Golden Fox, dressed in pajamas, sat on the head of her bed, spreading the secret codex on her lap and carefully flipping through it.
As this line of text appeared in the task reward column, Su Tianqing immediately flipped back a few pages to look at the newly added hidden shopping page.
It's here! The hidden reward!
The rewards for critical events are indeed powerful. Last time it was a store selection, this time it directly opened a hidden page. The secret codex is truly generous.
But it must also be said that critical events really consumed a lot of her brain cells, and at the same time, they were quite terrifying in some aspects.
For example, last time she was ridden by the raging Rabbit, who was out of magic power. If Nan Xiaofeng hadn't transformed to protect her, she would have long since...
"In short, I must prepare a series of backup plans for such events."
Villain Fox Fox thought, casting her gaze on the hidden page.
Her current divine code stone balance: 7500 points.
Although she couldn't afford the heaven-defying items at the back of the store page, the items on this hidden page were not that expensive, and she could afford them:
【guardian star 10 pieces, 100 divine code stone】
"...?"
Fox Fox raised an eyebrow, her tail curving into a large question mark behind her.
What is this? guardian star?
100 divine code stone?? Ten pieces???
Without any hesitation, Su Tianqing immediately spent 100 divine code stone to buy them.
Looking at the ten guardian stars floating in front of her, the Golden Fox's pupils dilated in shock.
She had thought this thing was a rather precious treasure, but it turned out to be a very cheap consumable??
Then it seems this hidden store page really has something to it.
Just as she was about to continue looking down, Su Tianqing noticed a small line of text at the top of the store page:
【Items on this page refresh every 3 days】
Hmm... so they're limited-edition items that refresh. No wonder guardian stars would appear.
Putting a stack of guardian stars back into her magic space, the little Fox Fox's gaze moved downwards.
A line of golden text caught her eye.
【Disguise Form, 2000 divine code stone】
Su Tianqing fell into thought.
Disguise Form? What is that?
And it's a super-duper cool golden color.
The item description below made Su Tianqing fall into even deeper thought.
【Gain a new transformation form, able to transform into an orthodox Magic Girl, can switch between the two forms at any time】
【Note: Your perfect familiar can also transform into an orthodox Magic Girl】
What a terrifying effect. She must have rolled an SSR.
The Golden Fox was dumbfounded, but her rationality still made her quickly buy this very cheap item.
After reading the item description twice, she roughly understood its meaning--
In short, it allowed Ben Hu to gain the ability to disguise herself as a righteous character!
Although she currently didn't see any use for it, seeing the setting that her familiar could also transform and the low price of 2000 divine code stone, the cost-effectiveness was directly maximized.
She might as well buy it and hoard it for now, after all, it's an SSR item.
Her divine code stone balance came to 5400 points, and Su Tianqing calculated as she looked at the next item.
She couldn't buy too much; divine code stone still needed to be saved for strengthening the Xin Yue Magic Wand. The 10,000-point stage enhancement price had been repeatedly surpassed many times!
But the items after that were far less powerful than the Disguise Form:
【Monster Capsule Wholesale Pack, 1000 divine code stone】
【Contains 100 Monster Capsules, good quality and low price】
This wasn't very interesting. Monster Capsules were completely a daily consumable for her now, and sometimes she could even recycle them, so there was no cost-effectiveness to speak of.
Forget it, today's shopping time ends here. Next, it's time for Villain Fox Fox's research work.
Closing the secret codex and tossing it into her magic space, the Golden Fox snuggled into her quilt and pulled out her phone.
Then she opened the Shanghai Hero Association's video account and entered the keywords 【Magic Girl Bai Lili】.
According to Hellcat, this Magic Girl had once displayed a so-called "new form."
If the video recorded the scene when she transformed into her new form, that would be even better. She might be able to get some valuable clues from it.
Even replicate it on Hyacinth and the other two!
Soon, Su Tianqing found the video Hellcat had mentioned.
The content was blurry, definitely not comparable to Ben Hu's invincible camera, but considering the Hero Association's filming level, it was already quite high-definition and close-up.
The scene was at the Shanghai seaside. A giant Octopus Monster, over a hundred meters tall, was wreaking havoc on the beach.
"Oh, oh, it's this!"
Villain Fox Fox's eyes lit up.
She had seen it in the Xin Yue Magic Wand's summoning magic list. It was a powerful Monster that required a large amount of magic power to construct.
The wild Octopus Monster in the video was probably equivalent to the level of her twelve-times reinforced version. Even without Ben Hu's micro-management, it could easily beat up the Magic Girls.
What? You're saying Ben Hu's micro-management is completely a negative improvement?
...Hard to refute.
The video screen shook violently amidst the Octopus Monster's rampant destruction.
Soon, the figures of four Magic Girls appeared at the edge of the frame, rushing towards the giant octopus.
Intense battle scenes.
The Magic Girls used all their might to try and stop the giant octopus. Various Star Realm Magic spells emerged endlessly, but they could only barely block the small Monsters around the octopus and failed to cause any damage to its main body.
Even Bai Lili herself was smashed into a building by an octopus tentacle and went silent.
The Magic Girls, having lost their captain's command, immediately fell into disarray and were quickly defeated one by one by the Octopus Monster.
Watching it approach the city, under the powerful oppressive feeling of despair, a clear flash appeared in the ruins of the building--
The video paused on the Magic Girl bathed in Star Realm light.
The Magic Girl's pure white ceremonial dress was as usual, but it had many more decorations, as if draped in a flowing river of stars.
"Star Shadow."
Su Tianqing murmured the name of this form.
In this state, Bai Lili's combat power suddenly soared. She alone suppressed the giant octopus that an entire team had been helpless against before, and in the cheers of the people, she ended the Octopus Monster with a magic cannon.
The video ended, and the bullet comments and comment section were all filled with Bai Lili's custom emoticons, the scene was very lively.
"Interesting..."
With no mood to watch the fan gathering, Su Tianqing dragged the progress bar to the scene where Bai Lili awakened Star Shadow, muttering to herself.
Facing an unmatched Monster, with teammates falling one after another, plus the huge threat of the Monster,
If these things contributed to Bai Lili's new form awakening, then could this method be used on Hyacinth?
Thinking this, Su Tianqing couldn't help but open her magic space and pulled out a Monster Capsule from inside.
【Monster Capsule: Star Realm Jellyfish】
【Reinforcement Count: 20】
【Special Ability Types: 4】
This was the Monster Capsule she had on hand with the highest reinforcement stack.
Since that's the case, she'd use this to give those three a big surprise!
