Task Chain 6: The Integrated Master of Trouble-Making
Obtain enough ancient divine code stones from daily tasks, 200 / 3000
Reward: Exclusive store for ancient divine code stones opened
The next morning, Su Tianqing checked the secret codex as usual.
Sure enough, the secret codex had updated with the continuation of the task chain.
The previous task was to have a villainous companion obtain Star Shadow, and she had successfully made Jia Yu into a Star Shadow Hellcat, naturally progressing to the next stage.
But she didn't expect this stage to be a simple and crude inventory task, and right off the bat, it was an absurdly large number like 3000.
Doing tasks for one day only gives 100 ancient divine code stones! secret codex, you'd better put some good stuff in the exclusive store, otherwise, how can you justify such a long marathon task?
In any case, let's check today's tasks first.
What? You ask if Fox Fox is currently in Sui City or Rong City?
Su Tianqing glanced at the scenery flashing by outside the window and couldn't help but sigh.
It was ten o'clock in the morning.
She and Jia Yu were on a train heading to Hong Kong City.
The original plan to return to Rong City today was delayed by three days due to some unexpected circumstances. As for what exactly this unexpected circumstance was—
While having her familiar browse the secret codex, Su Tianqing looked at the news broadcast on her phone.
“Early this morning, a Monster attacked Sui City International Airport. Multiple flights were damaged, and the airport runway suffered severe damage. It is estimated that multiple flights will be canceled within three days. Passengers are advised to pay attention to their flight status. The airport will provide free rebooking for travelers.”
When Golden Fox saw this news, she immediately checked her flight information. Sure enough, she saw the clear words “Delayed” on the ticket app.
Su Tianqing felt very angry.
Flight delays meant that her and Jia Yu's itinerary would change, forcing them to rebook the hotel for a few more days and arrange a new plan for these three days.
“Speaking of which, Tianqing, don’t you know teleportation magic? Couldn’t we just teleport back?”
Nan Jiayu, drinking a beverage, said to the resentful Fox Fox beside her.
“That won’t do! Taking a plane is also part of the travel experience!”
Su Tianqing replied firmly,
“Besides, I paid for and booked the ticket. How can I just let it go?”
“Hmm… that works, I guess.”
Nan Jiayu nodded with a wry smile.
Anyway, she was just accompanying Tianqing to travel around, so the specific itinerary was up to her.
But it was indeed a bit of a letdown. After all, they had originally planned to return to Rong City, and then suddenly came the news that their flight was smashed by a Monster. Anyone would feel a bit surprised and depressed, right?
“Speaking of which, Tianqing, when do you plan to start that activity you mentioned yesterday?”
Thinking of this, Nan Jiayu brought up the matter as well.
“True and False Magic Girls,” was the new activity plan that Tianqing, as Xin Yuehu, proposed last night.
From the plan, Tianqing’s scheme was actually very simple: use the power of a transformation charm to disguise herself as one of the righteous Magic Girls, infiltrate their team to create chaos, and enjoy the sight of the Magic Girls suspecting each other.
But just suspicion didn't seem as fun, and the act of “infiltrating them” itself was quite difficult to achieve.
As they chatted, the two exchanged glances, simultaneously wagging their tails and falling into thought.
“Jia Yu, you have a point.” Su Tianqing murmured.
“But we only have a plan; we can still add a lot of interesting things to it.”
“And how to infiltrate them is also something worth discussing,” Nan Jiayu said, thinking.
There was a slight chill on the train.
Su Tianqing leaned closer to the Cat Girl beside her, deliberately placing her tail within reach of the Cat Girl's hand, and tilted her head to look at Nan Jiayu, who had suddenly stiffened.
Then, as if intentionally sticking to the Cat Girl beside her, the entire Fox was almost draped over the Cat Girl’s shoulder.
“Jia Yu, you’re so warm.”
Golden Fox said softly.
“Oh… is, is that so?”
Nan Jiayu was a little nervous, but she immediately instinctively began to stroke the golden fluffy tail.
The long-lost fox tail had an excellent, silky smooth feel. Just stroking it made her fingers glide over that unparalleled, wonderful sensation. No matter how long she touched it, she wouldn't feel any unease.
It would even make one completely immersed in it, forgetting everything around them, and wholeheartedly savoring this wonderful tail.
“…Jia Yu, have you ever seen the sea?”
Suddenly, the Fox Fox hanging on the Cat Girl spoke softly.
Nan Jiayu's motion of stroking the tail paused for a moment. The tail immediately showed its displeasure with a slapping motion, urging her hand not to stop and to keep stroking.
“Yes, I have. I used to go to the sea often when I was studying in Shanghai,” the Cat Girl answered honestly.
Her and Tianqing's trip to Hong Kong City was completely spontaneous.
After all, the flight was delayed, and it was unknown when the airport would be repaired. Instead of staying in Sui City, it was better to go to other places and play along the way.
And Hong Kong City became their destination this time—convenient transportation, reachable quickly by high-speed rail, and also a world-renowned metropolis.
But for Su Tianqing, who had always lived in inland Rong City, the “sea” landscape would definitely be more attractive than the steel and concrete of a big city.
“Actually, I don’t really like the sea.”
“Hmm? Why?”
Golden Fox immediately tilted her head and asked the Cat Girl beside her softly,
“I heard that the sea and beach are quite attractive. Jia Yu, is it because you’ve seen too much of it that you don’t like it?”
“Not really. I just feel… that when I look at the sea, I feel very lonely.”
The Cat Girl recalled her experiences in Shanghai.
“When I was studying in Shanghai, the students at school all ostracized beast-people, thinking they were abnormal and heretical. I barely had any friends.”
“And during the holidays, I almost always stayed at home reading or doing homework, only occasionally going to the beach to relax.”
“But when I saw that vast, boundless sea… I would have a strange sense of loneliness.”
“It was as if nothing else existed in the world, only that vast, azure sea, just like the boundless Star Realm above the firmament…”
Speaking of this, Nan Jiayu’s ears drooped, as if she was falling into some unpleasant memories.
But her attention was quickly drawn by a warm, soft hand.
Golden Fox quietly reached out and held the Cat Girl’s hand, gripping it firmly in her palm.
“So that’s how it is.”
“Then from now on, I will always accompany you, Jia Yu, to see the sea, so you won’t feel lonely!~”
Golden Fox smiled happily.
Nan Jiayu felt her heart almost skip a beat, and she slightly opened her mouth, not knowing what to say, but still silently tightened her grip on the warm, small hand of the Fox Fox in hers.
The train sped towards the sea,
The Magic Girls held each other's hands tightly, envisioning that beautiful future.
And… the new plan for “True and False Magic Girls.”
