Chapter 38
: My confidant is going to be heartbroken.
"Teacher, I'm not feeling well, so I'm going home early."
"It's alright, it's alright. Take good care of yourself."
Li Huanhuan had always been an excellent student and teacher, and she never imagined that one day she would lie and skip class.
Surprisingly, I didn't feel guilty at all.
After all, she skipped class to do what she wanted to do.
Looking away, Mu Ming was sitting cross-legged on the floor, filling in her notebook bit by bit.
Li Huanhuan prepared several versions of the copy, so she wasn't worried that he might be dissatisfied with any part of it, as they could complement each other.
From cute styles and pyramid scheme styles to fraud styles, she prepared a copy of every popular copywriting style.
How about this?
Li Huanhuan was staring blankly at his face when Mu Ming suddenly turned his head and pushed the laptop in front of her.
The title reads: "Sisters, I recommend a super effective way to get stronger; it guarantees a 10% increase in magic power after mastering it."
"It doesn't feel that flamboyant." In fact, it's a bit mediocre.
Li Huanhuan had also read the copy. Although Mu Ming had copied it, it didn't have that eye-opening or eye-bending feel.
Mu Ming changed a few words.
"How about this?"
He changed the last sentence to "First-order reverse attack fully opened and major repair".
"This is a pyramid scheme..." Li Huanhuan said, resting her chin on her hand, slightly speechless.
Why not say that ordinary people could train to use monsters as jump ropes?
"If it's too exaggerated, it becomes a lie, although I'd really like to use that kind of thing." Mu Ming shrugged.
Is it true that the guaranteed minimum increase is 10%?
"Theoretically speaking, that's how it is."
Magical girls don't have a system, so they can't perform efficiency boosts.
That translates to an increase of 6 points of magic power per day, or about 2,000 points of magic power per year.
Assuming each magical girl can spend ten years to reach her full potential, then at least one-tenth of her magical power comes from training.
Li Huanhuan then asked, "But you've mastered the [Natural Cultivation] technique, what if a normal magical girl can't?"
After all, Mu Ming is a male magical girl. Even if there is no difference on the surface, who can guarantee that there is?
How often do you wake up in the middle of the night these days?
"It's going down."
Li Huanhuan also practiced [Natural Cultivation] for a while. Although she didn't understand the principles at all, she could keep the Seed of Heart and the Heartbeat at a normal frequency by practicing according to Mu Ming's method.
But in the end, she hasn't mastered it yet, and there are no other magical girls to verify it; only Mu Ming is an isolated case.
Given the current situation, promoting this method is actually quite irresponsible—of course, this only applies to its promotional materials.
It is true that cultivation is beneficial.
"Why are you in such a hurry to publish your findings? This isn't academia; no one's going to steal your results."
Li Huanhuan remembered that Mu Ming hadn't deleted a single post, and recently there was even another person criticizing him.
"We have no choice but to act quickly."
Mu Ming simply sighed and offered no further explanation.
"What if others can't master it in the end?"
That only means my life is over—Mu Ming has no other way to quickly improve efficiency for the time being.
"If they can't practice, they can't practice. At worst, they'll get scolded. I didn't charge them any money; I just wasted their online time. Besides, following this 'cultivation' isn't entirely without its benefits."
Mu Ming didn't care too much about this. This era has no shortage of ways to waste time, and it doesn't matter where you waste it.
Moreover, he taught real skills. The benefits of cultivation go beyond just increasing magic power; most importantly, cultivation can improve the quality of magic power.
Putting aside other things, the same magical power used to fire a light cannon resulted in a shorter range and a more diffused beam before [cultivation], but after [cultivation], it not only shot farther but also more accurately.
If you train well, you might even be able to defeat C-level monsters at the second tier, something Li Huanhuan has experienced firsthand.
As for whether they can defeat B-rank enemies during the flowering period, that's unclear, since they are both second-tier.
"Then it's up to you."
Li Huanhuan lay down on the sofa, resting her chin on her arms, gently swinging her legs, and staring at the screen.
Although she was using her account, she wasn't afraid of being hacked.
The Xiaohei Forum is nominally a third-party forum, but she has never seen any unofficial magical girl societies that can rival the Bureau of Control.
Therefore, the forum must have an official background.
To register for the forum and meet someone, you'll have to face off against a high-ranking magical girl from the Bureau of Control.
Of course, if things don't turn out well in the end, Mu Ming will inevitably be scolded by the girls.
I kind of want to see him get cyberbullied.
Unfortunately, he'll probably just pretend to disagree while grumbling to himself.
I wonder if he'll break down and cry? Li Huanhuan doesn't mind comforting him.
After confirming the content again, Mu Ming posted once more.
This time, instead of releasing everything at once like last time, I only released the most basic part—deep breathing during [cultivation].
And a few sentences were added at the end of the post:
The process takes approximately one month.
[For those of you who want to learn, feel free to check in below this post! If you have any questions, leave a comment below and we'll do our best to answer them.]
To be honest, he doesn't seem like a lecturer; he's more like a customer service representative.
However, seeing Mu Ming typing "baby" and "sister" on the screen with a cold face still made her a little unable to hold back.
"Speaking of which, you haven't told me yet why you want to teach?" Li Huanhuan asked.
She could have thought of reasons, such as "wanting to become famous", "simply being different", "wanting to make up for the lack of Jiahao in Magical Girl", "having a urge to give instructions", etc.
However, it is difficult to find a suitable label for Mu Ming.
Because he's the kind of secretive person who, even if he keeps saying he'll stop pretending once he's able to take down the entire administration by himself.
But I feel that even if that day really comes, he won't make a big fuss about his existence.
So I really don't understand his reason for doing this.
It can't just be about doing good deeds, can it?
"Become stronger." Mu Ming replied without turning his head.
"Is it true that teaching and learning go hand in hand?"
"No." He shook his head. "This thing only has a limited depth. Once you've mastered it, you've mastered it. There's no such thing as advancing."
"How will the lessons make you stronger?"
"It will allow me to cultivate faster."
What's the basis for this?
"Because that's what I believe." Mu Ming couldn't expose the system after all.
"Hey~ You're already a high school freshman, but you seem more like a middle schooler than a high school student..."
She smiled faintly and couldn't help but pat Mu Ming's head from behind. He was busy refreshing the page, like a student waiting for his results, and surprisingly didn't slap Li Huanhuan's hand away as usual.
She found it quite strange that Mu Ming was actually a little younger than her.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. When he transformed, his smile was so domineering that only a boy with severe chuunibyou could smile like that.
If you're older, that would be incredibly embarrassing.
Unfortunately, she was so engrossed in watching that she only found the wild laughter incredibly intoxicating.
"Here it is! The first reply."
Mu Ming's body trembled, and he pushed Li Huanhuan's hand away.
[Xiao Hei: I don't quite understand why you changed to this vulgar style. Your previous content was already very good.]
"That's enough, Miss Niche..."
Mu Ming muttered dejectedly, "No matter how professional or logical your writing is, it's useless if no one reads it."
His path needs more magical girls to support it.
He simply closed the webpage, which made Li Huanhuan giggle.
