Chapter 10 00010
10 Chapter - Blast Lao Deng’S Gold Coins!
Just then, Mercury Loli suddenly noticed a gaze.
She looked up and saw a somewhat familiar uncle hovering in the air.
“Oh! You are... you are... um, who are you again?”
Mercury Loli racked her brain.
He looked a bit familiar, but she couldn’t recall.
Lou Wei recognized the girl and didn't immediately acknowledge her. Instead, he looked around but didn't find a second person.
“What happened here just now?”
After her thoughts were interrupted, Mercury decided not to think about it anymore.
She replied with righteous indignation: “Just now, I executed justice and successfully rescued innocent people from the hands of villains.”
“Hehe~ No need to praise me, this is the duty of Magical Girl Mercury.”
Lou Wei's heart sank at the thought that the news of Sequence 001 might have already attracted lawbreakers.
Even someone as powerful as him wasn't truly omniscient and omnipotent.
The Espers in the world were bizarre and varied, and occasionally he would encounter troublesome individuals.
Lou Wei glanced at the problematic child below.
“Don’t wander around aimlessly late at night.”
Mercury Loli puffed out her cheeks.
“How can this be called wandering aimlessly? This is clearly a Magical Girl secretly protecting her city.”
Mercury didn't want her actions to be seen as a child's mischief.
Rescuing innocent people was a real achievement!
Unfortunately, Lou Wei didn't want to hear her excuses, so he turned and left.
Mercury Loli was so angry her teeth ached.
“Everyone is looking down on me. Just you wait, I will definitely make the name of Magical Girl Mercury known throughout the world!”
...Ye Yao woke up from her bed, hugging her blanket and muttering.
“Sequence Espers also have an organization in the dark, and they’re targeting me. How troublesome.”
Originally, she just wanted to rely on the country, slack off, and muddle through life.
Who could stand being dragged into something like this?
“Hmm, it seems I can’t slack off with a clear conscience here either.”
Ye Yao suddenly remembered that there was a prophet in the Countermeasure Bureau who said she would destroy the world.
“How could I destroy the world? I don’t have any grand ambitions. What good would destroying the world do? The world hasn’t even provoked me.”
From this, it could be seen that the prophet was completely unreliable.
The Countermeasure Bureau should get rid of that person.
“No, I can’t be at ease. I need to control my power by completing the family system. If the world is destroyed, where will I go to slack off?”
But the problem was that the family system was too inefficient.
It didn't look like the systems from certain web novel sites.
Go study a hundred times and then come back, you useless thing!
“Useless system, you’re so stingy even with attribute points. At this rate, how long will it take me to become invincible?”
Ye Yao grumbled.
To get attribute points, she could only acquire them from family members.
The problem was, where would she get so many family members?
Should she just casually call people 'mom' like Junior Brother Wa?
That would indeed be very efficient.
Ye Yao temporarily put that question aside and recalled what had just happened.
The scene of the blue-haired girl descending from the sky was still vivid in her mind.
“That Magical Girl... was she serious?”
It wasn't that Ye Yao hadn't watched anime about Magical Girls.
She had somewhat appreciated works like Cardcaptor Sakura, Pretty Cure, Madoka Magica, and Sugar Sugar Rune.
But those were all fictional things!
There couldn't possibly be Magical Girls in reality.
“A loli Esper role-playing? That’s quite cute, very two-dimensional, I like it.”
“I just wonder if I’ll be able to see her again.”
“She should be someone from the Countermeasure Bureau, right? Then there’s still a chance to meet.”
“Next time we meet, I’ll see if I can tease her. She seems like a lot of fun.”
Ye Yao yawned slightly.
She had returned from her stroll.
Her hair was almost dry.
Time to sleep!
The next day.
Ye Yao walked out of her room with messy hair.
She immediately saw a mysterious man reading a newspaper on the living room sofa.
No, wait.
It seemed to be an old man.
The elusive fellow had actually appeared.
Could it be that what she did yesterday really made him more vigilant?
Gulp, being stared at by a stat monster was a bit overwhelming.
She felt intimidated.
Then Ye Yao had a change of heart.
Intimidated by what!
She was now the little empress, getting whatever she wanted.
Even the strongest Esper of modern times had to obediently pretend to be an ordinary person in front of her.
It was time to get some money from the old man.
Ye Yao’s eyes became resolute.
So she walked over.
Lou Wei noticed Ye Yao's movement, put down his newspaper, and looked at her.
“What is it?”
“Hmm, I want a computer.”
“Alright, I’ll find a friend to prepare it for you.”
Ye Yao blinked, not expecting the process of getting money to be so smooth. She couldn't help but want to probe a few more times.
“The graphics card must be an RTX 5090.”
“Are there any other requirements?”
“The monitor must be a 34-inch ultrawide!”
“Is that all?”
“And more! The case must be a fish tank style, all-white, with maxed-out specs!”
“I’ll have someone prepare it this afternoon.”
Lou Wei’s calm reply sounded so pleasant to Ye Yao’s ears!
Foster father!
No, on the surface, he really was an old father.
She couldn't call him 'old man' anymore.
Ye Yao was excited.
These were specs she couldn't afford in her previous life, and now she could get them all at once. {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} It was incredibly satisfying.
What else was missing for a happy life of slacking off?
“Um... I also want some pocket money.”
For Ye Yao, sufficient pocket money was the final piece of the puzzle.
Buying games, online shopping, and gacha games all required pocket money to support them.
Without freely disposable money, life was a failure!
“How much do you want?” Lou Wei asked.
Ye Yao subconsciously retorted, “How much can you give?”
This question actually made Lou Wei fall into contemplation.
“I’ll set up a card for you, and a sum of money will be transferred into it every month. If it’s not enough, just ask me for more.”
“Thank you!”
Ye Yao made up her mind.
Even if other Sequence Espers really tried to abduct her.
She would absolutely not leave the National Extraordinary Disaster Countermeasures Bureau, this authoritative organization!
After Ye Yao went to wash up, Lou Wei walked to the balcony and made a call, repeating Ye Yao's requests.
“Hiss—holy cow, is that loli really going to stay in her room all day and not go out? If I had those specs, I could stay in my room until I died.”
“Stop talking nonsense, get it ready this afternoon.”
“Alright, alright, this damn kid. Normally, girls this age wouldn’t want these things. I even suspect she has the same interests as me.”
“Heh~ Maybe we can create an opportunity online to add each other as friends. It might be interesting.”
“Don’t do anything foolish.”
Before the person on the other end could ramble on, Lou Wei hung up the phone.
Ye Yao had already finished washing up and came out.
Breakfast was left on the table.
Xiao Jing, however, was nowhere to be seen.
The family system had no tasks, and the computer wouldn't arrive until the afternoon.
What should she do during this time?
Ye Yao pondered, then had a sudden inspiration.
“I’m going out!”
It was time to test the Countermeasure Bureau’s limits.
Interpersonal relationships and activity range could all be tested.
When Ye Yao told Lou Wei about this plan, she surprisingly didn’t meet with any opposition.
“Stay safe, call if anything happens.”
It sounded like he wasn't even planning to follow her.
That was interesting.
