Chapter 56
: Not a Fault in Warfare
Jin Feng slumped to the ground, and with a flash of light, the transformation was deactivated.
Although she was panting heavily, she still wiggled her hips closer to Yin Xi and grabbed his hand:
"Thank you so much for just now!"
"Yes, you're welcome."
Jin Feng was very enthusiastic; even though he was exhausted, he kept talking:
"Do you want to join the Bureau of Control... You're only Tier 3 but you're already—"
Jin Feng was halfway through her sentence when she saw Wu An return, and the heat in her eyes intensified.
She was from the southern district of Guancheng, so she naturally knew Wu'an's appearance and behavior.
I used to invite people over every day, only to be rejected. It was frustrating to be so eager to please someone who wouldn't listen.
But at this moment, he couldn't suppress his feelings of affection no matter what—he even felt that his previous invitation was a bit annoying.
But even if it's annoying, such a talented person has no reason not to join the government's development.
Although these two are like a black and white duo in terms of color scheme, their skill level is truly top-notch, much better than when I was at level three.
"Miss Wu'an, and this one..." Jin Feng glanced at Yin Xi ingratiatingly.
"Yinxi".
"Ah, Miss Yinxi, it's that...would you like to join the General Affairs Bureau? It's—"
"Not interested."
Before she could finish speaking, Wu An reflexively rejected her.
In Wu An's memory, Jin Feng always seemed to start her conversations with "Do you want to join the Bureau of Statistics?" She wondered if the Bureau of Statistics had any assessments for its squad leaders.
On weekdays, in addition to dealing with the disaster beasts, I also have to act as an HR person, inviting everyone I meet, regardless of whether they will eventually join the Bureau of Statistics. I just want to get people to come over for an interview to make up the headcount first.
"Um, please don't rush to refuse, it's just... it's just..." She stammered, and after saying "it's just" for a long time, she couldn't get it out.
After waiting several seconds, she finally managed to organize her thoughts:
"You guys are amazing! You could easily get Lord Jin Yu to recommend you for further training at the Jiangbei headquarters. After you graduate, you might even be able to stay at headquarters. The benefits at headquarters are... well..."
She couldn't think of any benefits offered by the headquarters for the time being; there weren't many magical girls who could go to the headquarters for further studies.
Anyway, she's not involved.
However, Jin Feng knew that each magical girl who completed the training was at least the head of a city.
Although some officials have to beg online because there is no one in the local administration, they also have to beg and plead to recruit magical girls offline.
It's a bit shabby, but even though they're both at the fourth tier, the person in charge of a small city has a higher status than the person in charge of a district, being half a tier higher, and is often stronger.
Seeing that the two were leaving no room for negotiation, Jin Feng quickly said:
"Even if you're not from the General Affairs Bureau, as long as your standards are high enough, you're qualified to pursue further studies. Your standards are beyond question!"
"Will I be bullied by the magical girls from the Bureau of Statistics as a country bumpkin?" Wu An asked, turning around.
"How could that be?! You can rest assured!" Jin Feng quickly denied.
"Never mind then."
"???"
I've played too much PVE in Wu'an, so I'd like to try PVP too.
However, if civilians attack the magical girls of the Bureau of Control, they will be detained.
Directly targeting magical girls in the community is risky, as there are many small groups of them. It could easily stir up trouble, and if you take down one, a whole bunch of them might jump out, making it a bit troublesome to deal with.
Official magical girls are generally not allowed to fight each other.
"I'm not going, are you going?" Wu An looked at Yin Xi, after all, the opportunity was rare, and Yin Xi was not like him, with physiological concerns.
"Don't ask such stupid questions." Yin Xi pulled her hand away from Jin Feng's grasp, ran to Wu An's side, took her hand, and smiled at Jin Feng:
"We're going to the west side of the city first."
"Hmm..."
Jin Feng originally wanted them to think it over, but they just flew away.
"Such a talented child, I need to have a serious talk with Master Jin Yu."
Jin Feng watched the two figures, one in black and one in silver, disappear into the distance, pondering how to say something nice, but the rumbling thunder in the sky drew her attention away.
The clouds began to swirl completely, forming a vortex-like eye, and a thunderous roar of purplish-black light erupted, as if a typhoon were approaching.
"Is there more?"
Jin Feng's expression darkened slightly. Some powerful A-level calamity beasts can split themselves and summon smaller calamity beasts.
Her magic hadn't fully recovered, and she was still injured; she definitely wouldn't be able to withstand another wave of attacks.
Boom!!
A sudden clap of thunder, bypassing the lightning rod high in the sky, struck the black and white light and shadow flying towards the west of the city with perfect accuracy.
"ah??"
Jin Feng's mouth gaped open as he stared in disbelief at the direction the lightning had struck—it was clearly the location where Wu An and Yin Xi were!
How could it have hit them directly? The Eye of the Vortex was clearly in the city center, but they were flying west!
And to avoid standing out, they flew at low altitudes...
To get struck by lightning like that, you can only say it's bad luck...
Jin Feng wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but after he struck Wu An, the calamity beasts in the sky seemed to pause for a moment. Then they went berserk.
boom!!
A flash of lightning illuminated the sky, followed by a thunderous roar that fell like raindrops. Lightning rods throughout the city were melted, and in the next instant, purplish-black lightning pressed down on the ground.
At the center of the vortex's eye, a monster resembling a legendary dragon poked its head out from the clouds. It slightly opened its mouth, and its low, yet clear, hiss echoed throughout the city.
"A-level disaster beast...and an exceptionally strong one at that..." Jin Feng couldn't help but think.
She tried to stand up, but the undisguised filthy magic from the ceiling pressed down on her, making it impossible for her to straighten up.
Many of the flying magical girls were directly crushed into the ground.
The gap is huge... I have absolutely no idea how to counter this power...
"Is Changming City going to be destroyed...?"
There was no time to feel sorrow for Wu An and Yin Xi; despair had already crept onto Jin Feng's face.
The monstrous beast's mountain-like head opened wide, its purple breath, crackling with electricity, poised to strike. As the breath landed, the entire Changming City would begin to collapse from its central area.
The next instant, a thunderous breath pierced the night sky and struck the Command and Control Bureau building.
When the smoke cleared, the building was completely undamaged.
A golden curtain of light appeared in the sky, dispelling the darkness and preventing the lightning from falling even a fraction of its magnitude.
The lightning struck the screen for several minutes, and the viewers' hearts pounded with each strike.
If the light barrier shows even the slightest sign of dissipating, no one in the entire city will survive.
"Master Jin Yu..."
Faced with enemies of this caliber, Jin Feng felt that he was no different from an ordinary person.
If it weren't for the many magical girl juniors around her, she would have been so scared that she would have cried.
As far as I can remember, Jin Yu has hardly ever laid a hand on anyone, so much so that Jin Feng immediately forgot that her boss was actually a fifth-level being.
Click, click—
The light barrier gradually developed gaps, and bolts of lightning occasionally seeped in, evaporating the lake water and igniting the forest...
The deficit is widening, and it looks like we're about to collapse.
"Ah... Ouch!"
People closed their eyes in despair, unable to comprehend why death had come so suddenly.
At that moment, a golden light shot out from the direction of the command center, like a shooting star, dazzlingly bright yet difficult to catch with the naked eye.
Golden light pierced through layers of lightning and shot unimpeded into the mouth of the dragon-shaped monster as it prepared to exhale.
The next moment, solar flames erupted from the dragon's head, blowing its entire skull apart.
The world seemed to fall silent for a moment.
The thunder ceased, and the silent golden sun shone brightly in the sky, as if it had fallen over the city.
Many people knelt helplessly on the ground, weeping as they faced the intense golden light.
