Chapter 44 The stranger the ability, the more the fox loves it.
At night, on the rooftop of an office building.
"I really am a genius fox!"
The golden fox muttered to itself, toying with a marionette in its hand, a smirk on its face.
"You're pretty amazing, you can even summon something like this." Hellcat sat next to Su Tianqing, eating a bag of potato chips, and made a conversation with her.
Su Tianqing happily picked up the puppet and guided it to pose in a victory pose.
"Heh heh~ This is my ultimate weapon, specially prepared for hyacinths! How about it, not bad, right~?"
"It's really quite good, but I didn't expect her to fall for it so easily."
The catgirl shrugged and handed Su Tianqing a potato chip.
The little fox opened its mouth and bit down.
"Ouch! Crunch crunch crunch... Why is it lime flavored?"
"I prefer this flavor. Crunch crunch."
The two turned their gaze back to the puppet.
It looks ordinary, but it is indeed one of the "weirdos" that the Heartmoon Wand can summon:
"【Dream Puppet】" Su Tianqing said its name.
"It can create the most realistic illusions and dreams, allowing you to dream the deepest 'beautiful dreams' in your heart, and even reflect them in reality."
"Pretty impressive," Nan Jiayu praised.
If it were an iris, Su Tianqing felt that this puppet probably wouldn't be of much use.
Its illusion requires preparation time to cast, and the Iris, known for its firepower, can interrupt it with a single shot before the illusion takes effect.
Hyacinth, being a close-combat brute, is not necessarily so, which is why Su Tianqing called it a weirdo who specializes in attacking hyacinths.
However, this puppet has a fatal flaw: the fox itself doesn't know what the dream is like.
This greatly diminishes its entertainment value.
"I think this thing should be given a new ability," Su Tianqing said.
"What ability?"
"At least let us see the contents of that dream, otherwise it's no different from a spell that freezes irises in place."
Nan Jiayu's cat tail swayed back and forth twice, without making a sound.
After playing with the Dream Puppet for a while, Su Tianqing casually tossed it into the magic space and said:
"In conclusion! Our villainous activities today were a resounding success!"
"How are you feeling, kitty? Did you find this activity fun?"
"You suddenly asked this question..." Nan Jiayu chuckled bitterly.
Then he nodded gently.
"It is indeed quite interesting, but my magic power cannot withstand playing like this every day."
"I won't ask you to come out every day anymore," Su Tianqing said, scratching her ear and chuckling.
After agreeing to continue their villainous activities in two days, the catgirl took off and left, while the loli golden fox wagged its tail and said goodbye.
Once the deep blue shadow disappeared from sight, the golden fox took a deep breath and lay down on the ground to stretch its body.
"Today was very fulfilling," Su Tianqing thought to herself.
The mission of the secret manual was successfully completed, and I also completed my first villainous activity with Hellcat. It was truly a memorable day.
Most importantly, my relationship with the cat has gotten even closer! She just fed me potato chips!
The fox was excited.
If you continue this activity a few more times, you'll definitely be able to easily tame this little blue cat!
As for hyacinths?
Although I was a little curious about what kind of magical dream Hyacinth had, I was sure it had little to do with me.
It's not entirely unrelated, though; she might be beating herself up in her dreams.
Let's not worry about these details.
"So!"
Su Tianqing clapped her hands lightly, sat up, and took out a heavy secret book from her magic space.
Let's end this fulfilling day with a grand shopping party!
The secret manual has been opened!
[Task: Seamless Cooperation, Completed]
[Daily task completed]
Divine Stone Confirmed!
"1900 PM!"
Looking at the remaining Divine Stones after the task rewards were settled, the golden-haired fox was in a great mood.
This way, I can strengthen the Heartmoon Wand. I wonder what kind of things that so-called familiar summoning will produce.
The payment was made in the form of 1500 Divine Stones, and a faint light flashed from the magic wand beside him.
The wand's appearance remained unchanged, but one could sense a significant increase in its magical power.
Holding it in her hand and waving it around a few times, Su Tianqing felt that she might be able to have a thrilling close-quarters battle with the hyacinth.
However, this familiar summoning...
The description says "any kind of creature or object", but no matter how Su Tianqing thinks about it, she can't figure out what kind of fun this thing can bring.
"Let's try it out first."
"Let me see... the appearance and characteristics of the familiar I want to summon that I've envisioned in my mind..."
"Using a large amount of magic power allows one to summon something out of thin air; using a small amount of magic power allows an object to temporarily possess the characteristics and abilities of a familiar..."
It looks quite interesting.
Depending on the amount of magic used, it can summon things out of thin air or enchant nearby objects, offering a high degree of flexibility.
I just don't know what kind of thing it can actually summon.
The wand pointed at the railing beside him, and magic flowed into it.
This is what it looks like... these are its features...
"Familiar Summoning!"
After uttering the somewhat embarrassing lines, the railing suddenly began to writhe in a twisted manner.
An unidentified creature resembling a python appeared beside me, lying docilely.
So ugly.
The little fox gave it a look of utter disdain, then casually withdrew its magic. The python instantly transformed back into a railing, as if it had never been there at all.
Oh no! I bought something absolutely useless!
Is it because my imagination is lacking? Impossible!
Can I get a refund? Please, Secret Codex, give me a word!
The golden fox hurriedly flipped through the secret manual, but couldn't find the refund page at all.
My attention was drawn to the next enhancement of the Heartmoon Wand:
[Heartmoon Wand Enhancement - Stage Two: 4000 Divine Stones]
[Greatly enhance the magic power and attributes of the Heartmoon Wand to gain new skills]
[Unlock Skill: The World of Mental Imagery, your own private space, which you can control to a certain extent]
That's an expensive price!
But such an exorbitant price seems reasonable for a skill that looks incredibly overpowered.
"It should be possible to create a scene like the one where you can't leave the cabin unless you do XX."
The wicked fox chuckled and muttered to himself.
However, if we change our approach, then this familiar summoning skill...
The golden fox pricked up its ears, looked around, and then stretched out its wand, gently tapping the ground beside it.
"Shape composition, feature composition, magic infusion."
"Familiar Summoning!"
A golden, magical light flashed.
A pair of sky-blue ribbon-strap Doc Martens appeared beside me.
The design is gorgeous and cute, somewhat similar to the ones I'm wearing, but the color scheme is the classic sky blue of hyacinths.
The fox's tail curled the shoes in front of her, and Su Tianqing stared intently inside.
—The inner walls of these shoes are covered with wriggling, fine slime.
Upon seeing their master, the slimes immediately quieted down and shrunk back, looking just like a pair of ordinary, cute shoes.
"Hehe...hehehe..."
The golden fox couldn't suppress its smile.
I wonder what kind of expression Miss Hyacinth will have when she puts on these shoes.
