Chapter 102 Treating the Symptoms
What is the new form of magical girls?
Upon hearing this question, Nan Jiayu fell into thought.
"Hmm...you mean, like my Shrike form and Cat Punch form?"
"It's not that, it's just... how should I put it..."
The little fox grabbed its tail and ears, and gestured with its hands in the air.
"It's that kind of completely new attitude that suddenly erupts when facing a desperate situation! Super cool and super powerful!"
"So that's what you meant."
Hellcat suddenly realized.
Then he nodded.
"I met her in Shanghai. She was a magical girl named Bai Lili. When she was attacked by a giant octopus monster, she displayed a similar posture to the one you described, Fox Fox."
"The stargazers called it 'Shadow of the Stars.' I remember quite a few people recorded videos of it. Bai Lili also officially confirmed it afterward. Shall I go and find some old videos for you?"
"Then there's no need to trouble you, Kitty. It's getting late, you should go home and rest. I'll look through it myself when I get back."
Su Tianqing nodded happily and lightly moved closer to the catgirl.
Retreat immediately upon contact.
"Since I didn't use any magic power today, I'll stop here."
Goodbye, kitty! See you tomorrow!
Watching the little fox disappear after casting a teleportation spell, Nan Jiayu stood blankly on the villain's rooftop, staring in the direction she had vanished.
The fragrance of gardenias still lingers in the air.
……
[Hidden Page Unlocked in the Secret Shop]
Back home, after washing up and brushing her teeth, the golden-haired fox, dressed in her pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed and carefully flipped through the secret manual, which she had spread out on her lap.
As soon as the words appeared in the task rewards section, Su Tianqing immediately flipped through a few pages to look at the newly added hidden shopping page.
It's here! A hidden reward!
The rewards for the critical events are indeed generous. Last time it was a selection from the shop, and this time it directly opens up a hidden page. The secret manual is really generous.
However, it must be said that life-threatening events really did drain my brain cells, and in some ways they were quite terrifying.
For example, last time when the berserk rabbit with depleted magic attacked me, if Nan Xiaofeng hadn't transformed to protect me, I probably would have already...
"In short, we must prepare a series of contingency plans for such events."
The villainous fox thought to herself, turning her gaze to the hidden page.
My current Divine Stone balance: 7500 points.
While I can't afford the overpowered items at the back of the shop page, the items in the hidden pages aren't that expensive, and I can still afford them:
[10 Guardian Stars, 100 Divine Stones]
"...?"
Fox raised an eyebrow, and its tail curved behind it into a big question mark.
What is that? The Guardian Star?
100 Divine Stones? Ten?
Without any hesitation, Su Tianqing immediately spent 100 Divine Stones to buy it.
The golden-haired fox's pupils dilated in shock as it looked at the ten guardian stars floating in front of it.
I thought this was a very precious treasure, but it turns out to be a very cheap consumable?
It seems this hidden store page is actually quite something.
Just as Su Tianqing was about to continue reading, she noticed a line of small print at the top of the store page:
The products on this page are refreshed every 3 days.
Hmm... So it's a limited-edition item that refreshes. No wonder it keeps showing up things like Guardian Stars.
After retrieving a dozen Guardian Stars from the magic space, the little fox looked down.
A line of golden text caught her eye.
[Disguised Form, 2000 Divine Stones]
Su Tianqing fell into thought.
Disguise? What is that?
And it's a super cool gold color.
The item description below made Su Tianqing fall into even deeper thought.
[Gain a new transformation form, enabling you to transform into a traditional magical girl, and switch between the two forms at any time]
[Note: Your perfect familiar can also transform into a legitimate magical girl.]
What a terrifying effect! Did I just get an SSR character?
The golden fox was dumbfounded, but reason still made her quickly buy the very cheap prop.
After reading the item description twice, I think I roughly understand what it means.
In short, it gave this fox the ability to disguise itself as a righteous person!
Although its usefulness is not yet apparent, the fact that familiars can also transform and the low price of 2000 Divine Stones make it extremely cost-effective.
I'll buy it and stock up on it anyway, since it's an SSR item.
With her Divine Stone balance reaching 5400 points, Su Tianqing pondered over which item to choose next.
I can't buy too many. I still need to save the Divine Stones to strengthen the Heartmoon Wand. The 10000-point stage strengthening has been overtaken many times already!
However, the later items are far less powerful than the disguised form:
[Wholesale pack of Monster Capsules, 1000 Divine Stones]
[Contains 100 "weirdos capsules," great value for money]
That makes no sense. The Monster Capsule is just a daily consumable for me now, and sometimes it can even be recycled, so it's not cost-effective at all.
Alright, that's enough shopping for today. Now it's time to start the research on the villainous fox.
Closing the secret manual and tossing it into the magical space, the golden-haired fox huddled under the covers and pulled out her phone.
Then open the Shanghai Heroes Association's video account and enter the keyword "[Magical Girl Bai Lili]".
According to Hellcat, this magical girl once displayed a so-called "new form".
It would be even better if the video recorded the scene of her changing into a new form; perhaps I could get some valuable clues from it.
They even replicated it on the three hyacinths!
Soon, Su Tianqing found the video that Hellcat had mentioned.
The content is blurry, definitely not comparable to my invincible camera, but for the Hero Association's filming level, it's already quite high-definition and close-up.
The scene shows a giant octopus monster, over 100 meters tall, wreaking havoc on the beach in Shanghai.
"Oh, this is it!"
The villainous fox's eyes gleamed.
I've seen it in the summoning spell list of the Heartmoon Wand; it's a powerful monster that requires a lot of magic power to construct.
The wild octopus monster in the video is roughly equivalent to the level after twelve enhancements. Even without my micro-management, it can easily beat the magical girls.
What? You're saying my micro-management skills are actually worse?
...It's hard to refute.
The video footage shakes violently as the octopus monster wreaks havoc.
Soon, four magical girls appeared at the edge of the frame and rushed towards the giant octopus.
Intense battle scenes.
The magical girls tried their best to stop the giant octopus, unleashing all sorts of astral magic, but they could only barely hold back the tiny monsters around the octopus and could not cause any damage to its main body.
Even Bai Lili herself was knocked into the building by the octopus's tentacles and became motionless.
Without their captain's command, the magical girls were thrown into chaos and were quickly defeated one by one by the octopus monster.
As it approached the city, amidst the overwhelming sense of despair, a clear flash of light appeared from the ruins of the buildings—
The video paused on the magical girl bathed in astral light.
The magical girl's pristine white gown remained unchanged, but now adorned with numerous decorations, resembling a flowing galaxy.
"The Shadow of Stars".
Su Tianqing murmured the name of this form.
In this state, Bai Lili's combat power suddenly surged, and she single-handedly suppressed the giant octopus that the entire team had been helpless against before. Amid cheers from the crowd, she used a magic cannon to finish off the octopus monster.
After the video ended, the comments and bullet screen were flooded with Bai Lili's custom-made emojis, creating a very lively scene.
"interesting……"
Not in the mood to watch the fan gathering, Su Tianqing muttered to herself as she dragged the progress bar to the scene of Bai Lili awakening the Shadow of Stars.
Faced with an invincible monster, teammates fell one after another, compounded by the monster's immense threat...
If these things led to Bai Lili's new form awakening, could this method be applied to Hyacinth?
With that thought in mind, Su Tianqing opened her magic space and took out a monster capsule.
【Valley of the Monsters: Astral Jellyfish】
[Number of enhancement attempts: 20]
[Number of Special Abilities: 4]
This is the monster capsule I currently have with the highest enhancement stack.
Since that's the case, let's use this to give those three a big surprise!
