Chapter 508 The Otherworldly Girl Wants to Cultivate Qi, Make Big Money, and Go Home
"What? You want to cast spells without any magic power?"
Broly looked at the two people who came over and made this strange request with some surprise.
"Yes, Brother Broly, you also only have air, but you can still cast spells normally, right? I think you should have a way, so I suggested that Miss Seven Stars come to you."
Rudeus, on his 50th playthrough, nodded.
"Please, Mr. Broly, if you have a way to help me cast a spell, please do so."
Shizuka Nanaboshi bowed, bending her waist to a ninety-degree angle, and began to plead.
"I do have a solution, but..."
Broly hesitated for a moment, and Shizuka Nanahoshi thought he needed some other reward, so she quickly said, "Just tell me what you can do."
"In that case, why don't you do a warm-up exercise with me first?"
After Broly finished speaking, he began to do slow-moving boxing exercises in his backyard.
"is that so?"
Upon hearing this, Shizuka Nanahoshi was taken aback at first, and then quickly followed.
"Yes, yes, but the movements need to be slower, while maintaining a good breathing rhythm."
Broly nodded as he watched Shizuka Nanahoshi's actions.
From a beginner's perspective, the girl's movements were a little shaky, but they were still considered to be done correctly.
"Brother Broly, excuse me, what are you doing?"
Rudius, watching curiously from the side, asked the question.
"The magic I use is basically converted from my Qi. This is a set of Qi-training fist techniques that I developed myself. Those who can practice it prove that they have the talent for Qi training. In this way, if you want magic power, you only need to master the technique of converting Qi into magic power."
Broly explained.
"Ah, this is Qi cultivation, the kind of Qi from your world?"
"Um."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Rudius immediately began to gesture.
He also wanted the cool ability to fly quickly by crossing his arms and putting them across his chest.
After practicing for a while, Rudy simply lay down on the ground, somewhat bewildered: "What's going on? Why can't I do the same things as you guys? It doesn't look that difficult!"
"My Qi-training fist will make the Qi flow in the human body. There is magic in the human body in this world. It doesn't matter if there is little magic, but if there is a lot, like you, it may cause a conflict between Qi and the body."
Broly offered an explanation.
"So, I'm not capable of practicing Qi cultivation?"
"Um."
After receiving Broly's affirmative answer, Rudeus became somewhat disappointed, as he also harbored the desire to become a Dragon Ball human.
Even if I can't become as strong as a Saiyan, I'd be fine with the kind of strength that Yamcha had when he was defeated by the Saiyans in what became known as the "World's Most Famous Death Scene."
At the very least, the opponent's strength should exceed the level of a king-level warrior in this world.
"Brother Broly, how's Miss Seven Star's talent?"
Rudeus sat to the side, watching the two finish a set of boxing exercises, before asking the Saiyan boy a question.
"It's alright, about average."
Broly replied.
"Hey, can just anyone practice your Qi-training fist technique?"
"Most people can, as long as they are alive and breathing."
Rudyus: "..."
"So, I can use magic like this?"
After finishing a set of boxing exercises, Shizuka Nanahoshi, slightly out of breath, asked the question.
"No, you need to develop a sense of Qi. Otherwise, if you can't even perceive Qi, how can you transform it into magic power?"
"So, how long will this take?"
"It depends on the individual. For example, Alice developed a sense of Qi in three days, while someone like Orstide only needed to look at it once to learn it."
However, the opponent already possesses Dragon Saint Battle Qi, which is also a type of Qi.
As for your question, to be honest, I don't know.
Because this set of Qi-training boxing techniques was improved by me in this world.
To date, I have only mentored a small number of people, and you are the second least qualified among them.
"Who came in last place?"
Rudius asked out of curiosity, and Broly just looked at him without saying a word.
Rudius then realized what was happening, pointed to his nose, and asked uncertainly, "It was me?"
"Um."
Rudeus possesses immense magical power, so much so that it is incompatible with the ki system of the Dragon Ball world, a system that is versatile and all-encompassing.
"However, if you train properly for a while and develop a strong physique, you might not be able to project energy waves, but you should still be able to sense energy. Then, if you learn magic conversion, you can use basic magic."
Shizuka Nanahoshi: "..."
If she remembered correctly, the summoning magic she had heard about before, which summoned her to this other world, was at least at the Emperor level or God level.
"If I want to unleash Emperor-level or God-level magic, to what extent do I need to train?"
She couldn't help but ask.
"Eh, if you want to convert magic power into something capable of unleashing Emperor-level or God-level magic, then you'll need a bit more magic power..."
Broly thought for a moment, then pointed to the big dog-girl sword king who was walking back with Alice along the country road and said, "Pretty much, you just need to crush her with pure physical strength."
Shizuka Nanahoshi looked in the direction Broly was pointing and saw Kyrie Il, dressed in revealing clothes, but whose exposed body was full of solid muscles. The big dog girl was carrying a thick wooden stick on her shoulder, and behind the stick hung a bunch of large fish with their gills pierced, each at least 1 meter long and weighing no less than 10 kilograms. She subconsciously swallowed.
"What's wrong, Broly?"
Alice arrived and saw Broly pointing at Gilead's situation, so she couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, it's just that this Miss Seven Stars is trying to surpass Gilead in terms of physical strength."
Broly replied.
"what……"
When Shizuka Nanahoshi saw that Alice and the big dog-girl Sword King were both looking over, she quickly waved her hands.
"I didn't say that."
"But didn't you want to unleash Emperor-level or even God-level magic?"
"Yes, but..."
Shizuka Nanahoshi was a little shaken. She was still self-aware enough to know that she had no chance of defeating a giant dog-woman sword king who could run a horse with her arm through training.
"Eh, do you want to learn ki, gain the ability to convert magic power, then study summoning magic and go back to your own world?"
After hearing Shizuka Nanahoshi's purpose for practicing Qi, Alice looked at her son and said, "Broly, why don't you help her out?"
"Um?!"
Shizuka Nanahoshi looked over quickly. Did this mean he was willing to help her get home?
"Alright, since you've brought it up, Alice."
Broly nodded, neither refusing nor rejecting the offer.
However, unlike what Shizuka Nanahoshi had in mind—directly helping her return home—Broly simply used his own ki to guide the ki within her body, combining it with ki-training techniques to sense the ki.
In less than half a month, Shizuka Nanahoshi felt something.
In the context of this world's battle qi system, it's roughly equivalent to the battle qi level possessed by some novice melee professionals.
However, this was enough to make Shizuka Nanahoshi, who was just an ordinary high school girl in her previous life, feel very surprised.
Because it means she has the ability to survive well in this world, and even make money.
In order to unleash high-level magic, in addition to converting air into magic power, one can also draw a magic circle and use magic crystals or magic stones as a power source.
In other words, if she had enough money to acquire enough magic crystals and magic stones, she could also use her low-level Qi-converted magic power to research summoning magic circles.
Of course, Shizuka Nanahoshi had already inquired and learned that being an adventurer in this world was not easy, and becoming a merchant was also difficult if one did not have connections or strength. Therefore, after she developed her aura, she asked Broly to teach her some combat skills to prepare for the future.
Broly did not refuse, but since Shizuka Nanahoshi was a martial arts beginner, there was no need for him to instruct her. Broly simply handed over the otherworldly girl who wanted to learn combat skills to his family's little Aisha.
"Sister Qixing, you're so clumsy. That's not how you swing a sword."
In 418, Aisha was already five years old. But don't underestimate this little girl just because she's only five. Her swordsmanship is quite good. At least in terms of talent, she's not much less talented than Alice. She's at the level of an intermediate swordsman, which is more than enough to guide Shizuka Nanahoshi, who has a novice physique and zero martial arts background.
In the 50th cycle, in the second half of the year 418 of the Kokuryu calendar, Shizuka Nanahoshi was experiencing both pain and joy. The pain came from being completely overwhelmed by Aisha, while the joy came from feeling her strength growing. By the middle of 419, her strength had reached the level of intermediate physique (ki) and intermediate swordsmanship.
"Thank you all for taking me in and caring for me over the past year. I will remember this kindness for the rest of my life, but please forgive me for saying goodbye now."
Hmm, this is something I researched using knowledge from my previous world; it should be able to make money in this world.
Although it is not enough to repay your kindness, it is a token of my appreciation. Please accept it, Mr. Broly and Miss Roche."
After Shizuka Nanahoshi told him about her plans to venture out into another world and make money through business using her knowledge from her previous life, she handed him a notebook.
It contains records of the otherworldly version of sparkling water she researched in this world, as well as techniques for making perfumes and other products.
Shizuka Nanahoshi wrote down most of her ideas on how to make money in this notebook, leaving only a small portion to give herself the confidence to go out and make big money.
"Uh, Miss Seven Stars, if you just want to make money, you don't actually have to go out."
Luo Qixi's expression was somewhat subtle as she spoke.
"I have already received so much kindness from your family, and I have no way to repay any more kindness."
Shizuka Nanahoshi didn't want to owe anyone too much, even though she already owed a lot.
"No, what I mean is, the Alice family is the largest noble family in the Fituia territory. If you just want to make money to buy magic crystals and magic stones, you can provide them with money-making ideas. After you make money, the Boreas family will share a portion of the profits with you. You don't need to go out and make your way in the world at all."
Luo Qixi said.
"Yes, Miss Seven Stars, even if you want to go out and do business on your own, you will most likely have to deal with some nobles and then cooperate and share the profits. Rather than cooperating with nobles you don't know, why not cooperate with the Boreas family behind Miss Alice, or Princess Ariel who often visits our house to see Miss Sylphie?"
The maid, Lilia, also said something.
Shizuka Nanahoshi: "..."
Suddenly I realized that I had connections all around me that could make me a lot of money.
So, why did she painstakingly train her physique to the intermediate level and her swordsmanship to the intermediate level, and gradually devise a grand plan to make money?
The girl from another world wanted to slap herself twice. Why didn't she learn more about the family that took her in?
Fortunately, it's not too late to find out now. In the 50th cycle, in the year 419 of the Konoha Ryūki, Shizuka Nanahoshi from another world reached a business cooperation agreement with the Boreas family.
In June of the same year, Shizuka Nanahoshi earned a share of eight Asura gold coins due to the booming business of her Happy Water. She exchanged these coins for magic crystals and magic stones of equal value through the Boreas family, and began her research on summoning magic circles.
Of course, the reason she was able to make such rapid progress was thanks to the fact that she had learned some knowledge about magic circles from Loki before.
Next to Broly's house, in the magic tower built by Perkius in this cycle, there are even more magic books than in the library of Lanoa Magic University.
. . . .
On March 2, 420 of the Konoha calendar, Shizuka Nanahoshi's research on the summoning magic circle hit a bottleneck. After she came out of a magic research room that Loki had assigned to her, she heard a noisy noise outside.
"Hey, why not? I'm already fifteen years old!"
Alice was making a fuss about something.
"In another week, we'll be going back to the beginning of this cycle. Instead of going now, why not wait until the next cycle? That way, you'll really enjoy it, right? You don't want to risk ending up with nothing to show for it, do you?"
Broly's words made Shizuka Nanahoshi, who was about to walk away, stop in her tracks.
"Excuse me……"
"Um?"
"What does it mean to go back in time to this cycle?"
Shizuka Nanahoshi came up behind Broly and asked the question.
Alice seemed to be convinced by Broly's words, but Shizuka Nanahoshi was different.
Upon learning that this world's timeline would rewind to the past at set points, and that she would completely lose all memories of her current life in the next cycle, the girl from another world who had transmigrated was quite distraught.
She had only hit a bottleneck in her research on summoning magic circles, so why was it suddenly going to be scrapped and started over? Or rather, it wasn't even scrapped and started over, but rather that it might never even begin.
"No, in previous cycles you didn't practice Qi cultivation or study summoning magic. It seems your fate in the Six Worlds wasn't fixed. You only started studying summoning magic in reverse this cycle."
As for your previous playthroughs, let's not talk about the first few playthroughs, because you were in a state of grief about leaving your own world.
Things improved in the following cycles, and this current cycle is the best. In less than three months, you've emerged from the shadow of leaving your original world.
Broly said this, and casually praised Shizuka Nanahoshi, but Shizuka Nanahoshi was not happy at all.
She suddenly realized that her quick recovery was probably due to the very friendly attitude of the family towards her.
As for why they were so friendly, she had previously thought it was because the people in this family were naturally loving, but now it seemed that it was simply because the Broly family all knew her as an old acquaintance, so they could take such good care of her and help her quickly get out of her emotional slump.
"Mr. Broly, may I ask you a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"Since time can rewind in this world, how did you and your family retain memories of previous timelines after the time rewind? Is there some special method for preserving memories?"
"This is related to the Crystal Palace I own..."
Broly explained the situation at Crystal Palace.
"As long as she's my wife, her memories will be protected by the Crystal Palace. However, she'll need to agree to be my wife again in the next playthrough to regain her memories."
Unexpectedly, this was the answer, and Shizuka Nanahoshi was at a loss for words.
