At night, on top of the office building.
"I really am a genius Fox Fox!"
Golden Fox muttered to herself, playing with a string puppet in her hand, a smug smile on her face.
"You're pretty amazing, you can even summon something like this." Hellcat sat beside her, eating a bag of potato chips, and spoke to Su Tianqing.
Su Tianqing happily pulled the puppet, controlling it to strike a victory pose.
"Hmph hmph~ This is a great weapon I specially prepared for Hyacinth! How is it, the effect isn't bad, right~?"
"It's really good, but I also didn't expect her to fall for it so easily."
Cat Girl shrugged, offering a chip to Su Tianqing.
The little Fox opened her mouth and bit it.
"Ah wuu! Crunch crunch crunch... Why is it lime flavored?"
"I prefer this flavor. Crunch crunch."
The two looked at the string puppet again.
It looked ordinary, but it was indeed one of the "Monsters" that Xin Yue Magic Wand could summon:
"【Dream Puppet】" Su Tianqing said its name.
"It can create the most realistic illusionary dreams, allowing one to dream of the 'beautiful dream' deepest in their heart, and even reflect it into reality."
"Pretty impressive." Nan Jiayu praised.
If it were Iris, Su Tianqing felt this puppet probably wouldn't be of much use—
Its illusion release required preparation time, and Iris, who excelled in firepower, could interrupt it with a single shot before the illusion took effect.
But for Hyacinth, that close-combat brute, it was different, which was why Su Tianqing said it was a Monster specifically effective against Hyacinth.
However, this puppet also had a fatal flaw: Fox Fox herself didn't know what the dream was actually like.
This greatly reduced its fun factor.
"I think this thing should have an additional new ability," Su Tianqing said.
"What ability?"
"At least let us see the content of that dream, otherwise, wouldn't it be no different from the immobilization magic that freezes Iris?"
Nan Jiayu's cat tail wagged left and right twice, without saying a word.
After playing with the Dream Puppet for a while longer, Su Tianqing casually tossed it into her magic space and said:
"All in all! Our villainous activity today was a great success!"
"Cat Cat, how do you feel? Do you find such activities very interesting?"
"You suddenly asked this question..." Nan Jiayu gave a few wry smiles.
Then she nodded gently.
"It is indeed interesting, but my magic power consumption can't handle playing like this every day."
"I won't call you out to play every day, though." Su Tianqing scratched behind her ear, chuckling.
After agreeing to continue their villainous activities in two days, Cat Girl flew away, and the loli Golden Fox waved her tail to bid her farewell.
Once that deep blue shadow disappeared from sight, Golden Fox took a deep breath and lay directly on the ground, stretching her body.
Today was very fulfilling, Su Tianqing thought.
She had successfully completed the secret codex's mission and had her first villainous activity with Hellcat; it was truly a day worth commemorating.
Most importantly, her relationship with Cat Cat had taken a step closer! She even fed her potato chips just now!
Fox Fox was excited.
As long as she continued these activities a few more times, she would surely be able to easily tame this little blue cat!
As for Hyacinth?
Although she was a little curious about what kind of illusionary beautiful dream Hyacinth had, it probably had little to do with her.
Well, it couldn't be said to be completely unrelated, maybe she would beat herself up in the dream.
It's better not to pay attention to these details.
"So!"
Su Tianqing lightly clapped her hands, sat up, and pulled out the thick secret codex from her magic space.
Let's end this fulfilling day with a grand shopping party!
The secret codex opened!
【Mission: Seamless Cooperation, Completed】
【Daily Mission, Completed】
divine code stone confirmed!
"1900 points!"
Looking at the divine code stone balance after the mission rewards were settled, Golden Fox was in a great mood.
With this, she could strengthen the Xin Yue Magic Wand; she wondered what kind of things that so-called familiar summoning could conjure up.
1500 divine code stone paid, and the magic wand in her hand flashed with a faint light.
Its appearance hadn't changed at all, but she could feel a significant increase in the magic power on the wand.
Waving it around a few times, Su Tianqing felt that she might be able to have a hearty close-quarters battle with Hyacinth right now.
But this familiar summoning...
The description said "any shape of creature or object," but no matter how Su Tianqing thought about it, she couldn't figure out what kind of fun this thing could create.
"Let's just experiment first."
"Let me see... conceive the desired familiar's appearance and characteristics in my mind..."
"Using a large amount of magic power can summon it out of thin air; using a small amount of magic power can temporarily give an object the familiar's properties and abilities..."
It seems quite interesting.
Depending on the amount of magic power used, it could either summon something out of thin air or enchant an object nearby, offering high flexibility.
She just didn't know what it could actually summon.
The magic wand pointed at the railing beside her, and magic power was injected.
The appearance is like this... the characteristics are like this...
"Familiar Summoning!"
After shouting the somewhat embarrassing lines, the railing suddenly writhed in a twisted manner.
An unidentified creature resembling a python appeared beside her, docilely prostrating itself.
So ugly.
The little Fox showed strong disdain, casually withdrew her magic power, and the python immediately changed back into a railing, as if it had never appeared.
Damn it! I bought something super useless!
Is it because Ben Hu's imagination isn't enough? Impossible!
Golden Fox quickly flipped through the secret codex, but couldn't find a refund page at all.
Instead, her attention was drawn to the next upgrade for the Xin Yue Magic Wand:
【Xin Yue Magic Wand Enhancement · Stage Two: 4000 divine code stone】
【Greatly enhances the magic power and various attributes of the Xin Yue Magic Wand, gaining new skills】
【Unlock Skill: Mindscape World, your exclusive private space, largely under your control】
Such an expensive price!
But such an exorbitant price corresponds to this seemingly incredibly powerful skill, which seems reasonable.
"I should be able to create scenarios like 'a room you can't leave until you XX'," the mischievous Fox Fox muttered with a wicked grin.
However, if she changed her way of thinking like this, then this familiar summoning skill...
Golden Fox perked up her ears, looking left and right, extended her magic wand, and lightly tapped the ground beside her.
"Shape formation, characteristic formation, magic power injection."
"Familiar Summoning!"
A golden magical light flashed.
A pair of sky-blue ribbon-laced combat boots appeared beside her.
The style was ornate and cute, somewhat similar to the ones she was wearing, but the color scheme was Hyacinth's classic sky-blue.
The Fox's tail wrapped around the shoes and brought them closer, and Su Tianqing looked intently inside.
—Dense, wriggling slime filled the inner walls of the shoes.
Upon seeing their master, the slimes immediately quieted down and receded, making them look like a perfectly ordinary pair of cute shoes.
"Hehehe... Hehehehe..."
Golden Fox couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.
She wondered what kind of expression Miss Hyacinth... would show when she put on these shoes.
