Chapter 35
: Amateur Scientists
After updating the crystal core, Mu Ming returned home and began preparing the tutorial for [Automatic Cultivation].
Although he hasn't fully mastered it yet, the first stage, which allows him to cultivate anytime, anywhere, has been confirmed to be feasible.
And this has been proven on more than one magical girl.
It has already entered the stage of large-scale promotion.
The clicking of keyboards began, and time started to flow.
During the day, while doing strategy planning, if a monster appears within the detection range, I transform into a police officer and go on patrol, while also avoiding the magical girls who are lying in wait.
At night in bed, I would do sit-ups every now and then, catch my breath, and then go back to sleep.
One day, Mu Ming finished the first half of the strategy guide. He turned off his computer, let out a long sigh, washed up, went to bed, and opened his eyes again to find it was dawn.
Mu Ming was stunned for a moment, feeling the Seed of the Heart trembling within his body with the pumping of his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
"It's done!"
He opened the panel, and the original three ways to become stronger were now reduced to only two, with the two methods other than [Devour] being merged.
[Natural Cultivation: 1.6 points of magic power / 4 hours]
With this light and airy feeling in his heart, Mu Ming opened the Magical Girl Forum and logged into Li Huanhuan's account.
After a final check of the content, I chose a title:
"A way to normalize the magic return"
The layout was arranged, and it was sent out.
The post content has been reviewed, one thing is settled, and Mu Ming is getting ready to go out for a nice meal.
buzz-
A series of rapid ringing interrupted Mu Ming's pleasant mood.
"Strange..." He looked at the phone on the table.
It was just a normal phone call, but why did it give me the feeling that something terrible was about to happen, and my heart started racing?
Mu Ming frowned as he looked at the caller ID, which read "Jin Yu".
He didn't understand why the other person was contacting him.
He never misses saying good morning, good afternoon, or good night, and he knows how to say good morning and good night to his mother so well.
They even did psychological tests.
Sometimes she would bring up a topic, and I would try to keep up the conversation for a bit.
Unable to figure out the reason for his call, Mu Ming answered the phone.
"Feed?"
"Muming...can I confirm something with you?"
Even though Jin Yu wasn't in front of him, Mu Ming could see the expression on Jin Yu's face—whether it was a forced smile or suppressed anger—in his eyes.
"Speaking."
"Why haven't you been to class a single day in almost a week since school started?"
School has started?
Is the holiday over yet?
Mu Ming glanced at the calendar, and it seemed to be true.
But with the countdown fast approaching, the importance of going to school is, if not paramount, then negligible.
Having received aid and care from the Jin Yu Family Welfare Home, I naturally have the responsibility to complete my studies.
Jin Yu's current questioning is not unreasonable.
However, there is a crucial point that prevents him from going to school.
That should be enough to get by.
"I don't know which school it is."
Mu Ming only knew that he had entered high school, but he couldn't remember which school it was.
During that time, he devoted himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of "creating magical girls".
There might be an acceptance letter at home, but back then we lived a precarious life and didn't keep it safe. It's hard to find now.
It's not impossible that they might even perish in a waste incineration plant.
"Are you serious?"
For some reason, even though a reason was given, Jin Yu's tone suddenly became unfriendly.
"Absolutely no lie!" Mu Ming replied firmly.
"So what have you been doing lately?"
"Let's fight for the cause of 'making magical girls even greater'!"
Mu Ming doesn't remember what happened after that.
How did Jin Yu come about? How was he brought to school? How were the relevant matters explained to the homeroom teacher? How was he dressed in a school uniform that resembled a sailor uniform?
When he regained consciousness, Mu Ming was already sitting on the playground, watching groups of his peers gathered together singing "Magical Girl Shines the Brightest!"
So school has already started. No wonder Li Huanhuan hasn't been making a fuss these past few days.
As he was reviewing the current situation, a pretty young woman with a slightly tanned complexion and a "Committee Member" armband on her shoulder walked over gracefully, bent down, and spoke to Mu Ming:
"Hey, everyone's singing, wanna join in?"
The girl probably came with the thought that she didn't want him to feel isolated.
Mu Ming nodded and got up from the ground.
Although he didn't want to participate in these activities or go to school, he couldn't do anything else right now.
His school, Changming No. 17 Middle School, is located on the edge of the city's central district. Even if the crystal core in the southern district issues an alarm, he won't have time to go back.
For some reason, patrols in the southern district of Changming City are much more frequent than in other districts. Sometimes, even if the alarm is triggered and you fly over at full speed, you might find nothing—the monster has been dealt with by other magical girls.
"Since we're here, let's make the best of it."
Silently reciting the saint's teachings, Mu Ming returned to the group, facing many curious gazes, and joined everyone in singing the chorus song they'd heard countless times since childhood: "Magical Girl, We Love You!"
......
Ding ding dong~~
The melodious school bell rang, signaling the end of get out of class.
"Muming, where do you live? Is it on my way home?"
"Sorry, I have other things to do, so it might not be on my way."
Mu Ming politely declined the invitations from others and left the classroom at a speed that astonished those around him.
After scanning the area outside the school and confirming that Jin Yu wasn't around, he found a place to transform and flew home as fast as he could.
I couldn't wait to turn on my computer and go to the forum.

"Tsk...wasn't it fermented long enough?"
Seeing that his monumental work had only received so few clicks after half a day, Mu Ming switched to a guest account.
He searched the forum and easily found his post.
He thought he'd been banished from the forum, but it turns out it's just that hardly anyone reads it—isn't that even worse?!
He looked at the only five replies.
[Huahua: Did you post this in the wrong place?]
[If I block the bridge again, I'll fly to your doorstep: Did you ever really play a magical girl to write something like this??]
【I will definitely bloom in full glory! : Did the poster write this while sleepwalking? It's not only putting people to sleep, but I also tried practicing it myself, and it hurt like hell! It's purely harmful.】
[Wutong City Bureau of Statistics Official Statement: We suggest that this self-taught scholar review the Bureau's basic theories; magical girls don't become stronger this way.]
By the way, if you have a lot of free time, I recommend you go and support Qishan City, where there are still monsters causing trouble.
Considering you're probably only a first-tier magical girl, you wouldn't be of much use there. We could hire someone to beat you up so you can experience the process of a magical girl becoming stronger, instead of getting killed as soon as you arrive at Qishan Station.
If you wish, you can provide us with your personal information. Wutong City is not far from Changming City, and we are happy to serve the folk magical girls.
"overtake..."
That stinky woman always picks on sensitive topics.
In an instant, Mu Ming felt the urge to delete the post.
I feel it would be better to take the bus back slowly with my classmates; we might even run into a monster on the way.
Did I rush back here so excitedly just to see this?
[Xiao Hei: Well written, your theory has great practical value.]
Mu Ming never imagined that he would get a sniffle because of a single sentence.
However, upon seeing the other party's ID, he hesitated for a moment and looked at the forum's homepage.
The forum was then called "Xiao Hei Forum". However, the Xiao Hei who replied to him was only level 1 and had not been created for long. He was probably just a "discerning passerby".
Just as Mu Ming was feeling down, his phone screen lit up, and Li Huanhuan sent him a message:
I saw your post, but the response wasn't very good.
It's not just not good; Mu Ming now only hopes that her awakened talent as a magical girl is to "slap the other side through the screen!"
