: A Corner of the Sky

[That expression is so wicked...]

[Are you possessed?]

[Her smile is quite charming!]

Mu Ming was perfectly sober and wasn't smirking; he was simply overcome with emotion.

Just a moment ago, a large number of pop-up windows lit up in his eyes.

He couldn't see them all, but he could see that the list of people whose real names were displayed had grown significantly.

The original list only included three people: [Mom], [Super, Super, Super Loyal Partner], and [Random Person].

Now, however, the number is too numerous to count at a glance.

[Azure Star: Unfamiliar Senior (Efficiency Increased by 4%)]

[Mingmiao: Student (Efficiency increased by 3%)]

[Kyoka: Students (efficiency improved by 3%)]

【Raging Storm: Student (Efficiency increased by 3%)】

Jinxiang: A bystander watching the spectacle (no promotion)

The list was filled with nothing but "students".

Mu Ming originally thought that since they had never met in person, providing 1% to each person would be quite good, and Li Huanhuan was no different when they first met.

Unexpectedly, the system's judgment criteria were still too lenient.

Each student they had never met before accounted for 3%.

This fully utilizes the 200% efficiency provided by the "Real Name Display" module.

After this incident, Mu Ming no longer needed to worry about "revealing his true name" in front of others.

The harvest was so plentiful that he even considered planting the seeds on the spot.

Click—

The phone fell to the floor with a clear sound, interrupting Mu Ming's thoughts.

He turned his gaze and saw Li Huanhuan lip-syncing for him:

"Are you alright?"

That's wonderful! So wonderful it's making my head spin!

However, since we've managed to gather everyone together, the proper procedures still need to be followed.

On the screen, Mu Ming was nodding with a silly grin, seemingly to no one in particular.

The number of people asking "?" in the live stream room is increasing, and the number of viewers is also gradually rising.

He seemed to be immersed in something happy, his eyes darting around, and he did nothing but laugh.

Some magical girls requested to connect via voice chat, wanting to greet Muming.

He rejected me.

"Cough cough—"

Mu Ming quickly regained his composure, cleared his throat twice, and spoke in a broadcasting tone with an accent:

"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to watch the live stream. I have received all your questions in the discussion thread and I will answer them one by one."

"After the Q&A session, if you have any other questions, you can connect with me directly for consultation."

"Well then, let's begin~"

Mu Ming put two fingers to his lips, chuckled, and winked at the screen.

Is that all there is to it?

Is this a pre-recorded video?

"It's not a pre-recorded video, Miss 'Watch auvmajiuca 50 times (18/50)'," Mu Ming clarified.

[I envy the main character's shamelessness.]

"Let's look at the first question..."

[Eye-catching comment (50R): Main package, stop reading the script. If you do 30 somersaults with one hand, I'll give you 50 RMB.]

The user "Donglin City General Affairs Bureau Official" has been banned from posting for 3 days by the administrator.

[Eye-catching comment (100R): How come there are still people with privileges posting here??]

The user "Kneeling before Hongdu Ye orz" has been banned from posting for 15 days by the administrator.

The comments were flooded in, and in just three minutes, more than ten people were banned. The live stream had turned into a battle between viewers and administrators.

Li Huanhuan looked at the message board in surprise, never expecting it to turn out like this.

Is this still a situation where live streaming is possible?

She couldn't help but glance at Mu Ming, only to find him swinging his legs, head tilted back, leaning heavily in the boss's chair, reading aloud from a small diary filled with questions:

"Regarding the final step of the [Natural Cultivation], why is it to cover the heart with magic instead of the feet? The host's explanation is that if you don't want to wrap the heart but want to wrap the feet, it's fine to wrap the baby's cerebellum with magic instead."

He looked so carefree. It was as if the battle in the live stream had nothing to do with him at all.

Li Huanhuan gave him a few winks, but Mu Ming became completely absorbed in reading his script, only occasionally glancing at the comments on the screen.

[Isn't the streamer going to do anything about this?]

She was so anxious that she wanted to leave a prominent message, but because Mu Ming was logged into her account, she was currently a tourist and couldn't make any purchases.

We could only watch as the situation escalated.

The chaotic battle in the live stream temporarily ended after an unknown administrator banned 27 users.

At this moment, the number of people has actually reached 200.

The "Eye-Catching Comments" section has also been temporarily banned by the administrators, leaving only one comment:

Please watch the live stream carefully.

"He's just slacking off himself... why should the audience take it seriously..."

Li Huanhuan was puzzled; she couldn't understand the point of Mu Ming doing live streaming at all.

The phrase "Actually, I'm a magical girl" felt like a spell; after saying it, it was as if all the pent-up anger had been released.

The previous tension had completely vanished, replaced by a silly, happy expression.

"There's only one question left, everyone hang in there a little longer, the break for the second half is coming up soon."

Mu Ming said something to the screen, which attracted a lot of comments.

[Can the main host turn on group microphones later?]

[Could the main streamer kick that administrator out of the live stream?]

[Anyone from Changming City? Can you identify the main character? I just guessed her identity, but it got blocked.]

[Miss Hakimi the puppy, I recommend a great papaya drink to you. It's good for your health! Here's where you can buy it online...]

Mu Ming simply read from the prepared script:

"Dear poster, I'm a senior majoring in magic theory at Jiangdong University. My research topic has been rejected by my advisor again. As you know, writing papers in our major is not easy, and AI doesn't work well either. So, could you postpone your patent application to the Bureau of Statistics and let me copy your post?"

"I'm sorry, young man, the Bureau of Statistics and I discussed this earlier than you did, so you probably can't directly copy the post. However, you can practice 'Natural Cultivation,' record your practice process, and then send it to the Bureau of Statistics as an experimental sample. If it is adopted, it might help you complete your graduation thesis."

However, the lead contractor only has a high school education and doesn't know much about university; this is just a suggestion.

"That's all! All questions have been answered. Let's take a half-hour break first. You can discuss freely in the live stream room, and then we'll move on to the live chat segment."

Mu Ming drank the water on the table in one gulp, took the earphones off his head, and walked straight away from the camera.

"Your live stream log is almost more popular than your strategy guide post," Li Huanhuan said to Mu Ming, somewhat speechless.

On the Xiaohei Forum's trending topics list, the first item was "Hakimi the puppy live stream," and the second item was "Hakimi the puppy live stream repost."

"That's normal. The magical girl fandom is small, so even a small number of people can generate a lot of buzz."

Mu Ming didn't care much about this.

During his break, he began to convert the corrupted magic he had previously acquired.

[Accumulated Corrupted Magic Power: 820 points (D-rank Disaster Beast) / 388 points (C-rank Disaster Beast)]

[Conversion Complete]

[Magic Power +91]

[Magic Power +309]

The magic conversion rate of C-rank disaster beasts is much higher than that of D-rank disaster beasts.

But that makes sense, since C-rank disaster beasts are significantly rarer than D-rank disaster beasts, and their strength is incomparable.

It's a bit of a shame that the magical power of the D-rank disaster beasts has decreased, with the ratio dropping from three to one to about ten to one.

Even improvements in efficiency failed to reverse this downward trend.

I'm afraid that once he reaches the fourth rank, or during his flowering period, he won't be able to increase his own magic power by converting D-rank corrupted magic.

That makes sense. If that were the case, Mu Ming could travel between several cities every day and kill D-level monsters every day to reach the maximum level.

But that's not a problem. As long as they reach a higher rank, Li Huanhuan will definitely be able to teleport across cities, and Mu Ming will also be able to deploy crystal cores across cities.

The future looks bright.

As if reflecting his mood, Mu Ming's vision was covered by pure white light.

wow——

He froze, looking stiffly at Li Huanhuan, only to find her staring out the window in equal astonishment.

The white light was so intense that it swallowed up the light from the warm lights inside the room.

Rumble!!!

If the Goddess of Lightning was on patrol before, now it is the God of Thunder who has arrived.

Click, click—

Amidst the deafening roar, hidden cracks appeared on the glass.

Swish swish swish—

Noises and commotion came from the road below, and car alarms rang out everywhere.

It's rush hour now, and the brief blindness caused earlier has led to several car accidents.

"What just happened?" Li Huanhuan asked worriedly. The sudden strange phenomenon left her completely bewildered.

Mu Ming didn't reply, he just looked at the gloomy sky.

Magic gathered in his eyes, and faint red lightning snakes could be seen coiling in the gloomy clouds.

I have never seen red lightning before.

Mu Ming glanced at the countdown almost instinctively.

【1198:27:16】

Time continued to tick normally and did not suddenly return to zero.

Before he could even catch his breath, a blinding red and white light swept across his vision, and in an instant, he could see nothing at all.

The action of closing one's eyes even outpaced the thought process.

Mu Ming half-covered his face, barely opening his eyes a crack.

In the deep blue night sky, amidst the rumbling thunder, a wisp of green leaf drifted by, leaving only a gap that stretched from one end of the sky to the other.

The sky... has cracked open?

The area outside the crack was shrouded in thick haze, like a black storm in the desert; no matter how hard one tried to peer out, one could not see what was happening outside.

Yet... even in such low visibility, something shone brighter than the city neon lights, brighter than the moon, gleaming in the haze.

Those are... stars, scarlet stars.

The previous thunder seemed to have cast its gaze upon it, causing the sky to be torn open...?

Mu Ming's thoughts suddenly stopped.

In an instant, the torn sky suddenly closed, as if it had been forcibly squeezed into the middle.

The sky returned to normal.

The next moment, golden magic erupted from the direction of the Bureau of Control, instantly covering the entire city.

[Mental attack detected; mental energy countermeasure initiated]

Opponent's strength: As insignificant as an ant.

[Successful Counterattack]

A golden, warm current surged toward the Seed of the Heart like a tidal wave, and Mu Ming suppressed the Seed of the Heart's rebound.

Then, I clearly realized that the memory of what had just happened was fading from my mind.

"Do you remember what just happened?"

"Li Huanhuan, who was standing next to Mu Mingchao, asked."

"About the live stream?" she asked, sounding confused.

But the look of astonishment still lingered on her face, completely out of place with her demeanor.

Mu Ming shook his head, glancing at the General Affairs Bureau, a shadow falling over his heart: "How can even the memories of magical girls be so easily erased..."
