Chapter 613 Delegation and Rewards and Daily Training for Newcomers
Chapter 613 Delegation and Rewards and Daily Training for Newcomers
During the 15-day reconstruction of Chengdu, Xin Yuehu, in conjunction with the Hero Association, designed corresponding levels of difficulty for each commission.
For example, the lowest level 1 commission can be accepted by anyone. The content is usually simple tasks such as "transporting building materials within a specified time" and "surveying the perimeter". With the heroes' various superpowers and the magical girls' enhanced physiques, they can complete them quite easily.
Level 2 delegation, however, requires some technical expertise:
Tasks such as [cleaning up a large area of collapsed buildings], [sweeping away the shadow remnants of Garuda], and [stabilizing the transport of large machinery] are reserved only for heroes and magical girls with the appropriate abilities.
Different difficulty levels of quests will reward different numbers of prize vouchers. With these vouchers, you can choose your favorite gifts in the temporary shop opened by your familiar. Even if you can't accept high-difficulty quests, you can still farm low-difficulty quests to accumulate vouchers and exchange them for the gifts you want.
Of course, extremely difficult commissions sometimes come with rare prizes, such as the colorful commission displayed on the screen in Hyacinth's hand—which is naturally the highest level.
"What a joke! Is this request reasonable? Does this really have anything to do with the reconstruction?" Hyacinth grabbed the Divine Stone screen and ran to the familiar to protest loudly.
"Miss Hyacinth, I understand your confusion, but this is what Master Cat wanted, and I didn't expect anyone would actually pick it up."
"That's what the familiar said in a very serious tone."
Iris stood calmly to the side. She had received two Level 3 commissions: [Targeted Demolition of High-Rise Dangerous Buildings] and [Rescue Personal Items from Buildings in the Area], which were perfect for a firepower-type magical girl like her.
But Hyacinth… Hyacinth’s level 4 commission was really eye-catching. She was the only one in the entire round to receive this colorful and dazzling commission, and the content of the commission certainly lived up to its high level of difficulty:
Fighting with Hellcats.
"Wow, Hyacinth, you actually accepted this?" Wheat leaned over to take a look at the commission details and immediately gave a look of admiration.
"...Can I cancel this request?" Hyacinth asked the familiar tentatively, on the verge of tears.
The familiar shook its head.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hyacinth, level 3 and level 4 commissions cannot be cancelled. If you find them too difficult, you can invite others to complete them together, and the rewards will be split equally among them."
Upon hearing this, Hyacinth immediately turned to look at her companions.
Iris took a step back, and Wheat immediately followed suit. Lily, who had wanted to come over and watch the excitement, shrieked and darted back to Clover and the others. For a moment, Hyacinth was completely surrounded by people.
Nobody's a fool. Who would willingly take the face of Hellcat's punches, which are as big as sandbags?
"You guys... Oh well, whatever, I guess I'll just accept it. I hope the reward for this commission is worth the beating I got..."
Hyacinth said in a self-deprecating tone, shook her head and resigned herself to her bad luck, then flipped to the next page of the reward section to look at the reward details.
[Prize: 200 vouchers]
Hmm? This seems pretty good. A level 3 commission only gives 50 coupons. Once you collect 100 coupons, you can exchange them for a custom-made Starry Night figure. You can get two right away. The generous rewards are commensurate with the difficulty of a level 4 commission.
However, the following two lines...
[Bonus: Fox's Customized Mind World Exploration Monthly Pass, with Customizable Design]
"Hey, this looks pretty good. You can play in the mental world for a month!" After learning that Hyacinth had decided to do the commission herself, Bai Lili finally breathed a sigh of relief and came over to look at the commission reward with Iris Wheat.
"It does look alright... I just wonder if Xin Yuehu will change her mind or add some weird things to the mental world." Hyacinth muttered to herself.
But when she looked at the extra rewards in the second line, before the three people around her could finish reading, Hyacinth quickly turned off the screen and pretended nothing had happened.
"Hey? Why did you turn off the screen? I haven't even seen what the second reward is yet."
"No, no, no, it's nothing, it's just a prank prop from Xin Yuehu!" Hyacinth stammered slightly, then laughed it off.
Meanwhile, the other magical girls also received their requests and gathered together to discuss them enthusiastically.
When no one was around, Hyacinth, with trembling hands, reopened the Divine Stone screen and looked at the second line of rewards:
[Bonus Bonus: A Day Trip to Fox Tail Paradise]
……
With the help of Xinyuehu's activities, the reconstruction work in Chengdu is proceeding in full swing.
The heroes, who were originally on holiday at home, were pestered by their children for the limited-edition prizes from Xin Yuehu. Helpless, they came to the association to collect their commissions and work overtime. The engineering department, which was already short-staffed, suddenly had people from other departments helping them with their commissions, which greatly reduced the pressure.
From time to time, magical girls carrying large bundles of steel bars in one hand can be seen flying through the sky above Chengdu. Some of them with incorrect flying postures will be stopped by the traffic spirits in the sky to correct their posture and prevent the steel bars from falling to the ground and causing accidents.
"Of all the things that can be entrusted, safety is the most important. If you don't follow the proper procedures, you'll end up in tears."
"If an accident results in a complaint, the commission voucher will be deducted at our discretion. Please take all necessary safety precautions to avoid unnecessary accidents."
The familiars carried megaphones and shouted promotional slogans in the high-altitude airway, helping the airway to operate smoothly.
A low, booming sound came from somewhere in the distance—Wheat Ears and Iris Flowers steadily blasted down the load-bearing structure of the large, dilapidated building with a low-output magic cannon, using magic to protect the collapsed area and contain all the dust and rubble within it.
The hyacinth floated listlessly in the air, accompanied by two figures.
Magical girl Marigold, and a new magical girl—a winged girl codenamed [Sakuya].
"Hmm... this patrol assignment is much easier than I expected," Hyacinth yawned and muttered to herself.
"Is that so? I feel it's quite difficult to maintain flight magic while also observing the surrounding situation..." Marigold was slightly taken aback and quickly replied.
"Hmm... I think it might be that you're too focused on maintaining a steady output of magic power for flight. You could try using muscle memory to ensure stable flight."
The winged girl in a jet-black dress spoke up, and Hyacinth couldn't help but turn her head to look in her direction:
With a wingspan of three meters and thick, sturdy feathers, it can fly silently and swiftly in the air with almost no magic output, and can even keep up with a hyacinth flying at its normal speed.
As expected of a hawk-owl-winged person, Sasha seems to have mastered flight magic the fastest since becoming a magical girl, Hyacinth thought.
"Using muscle memory to stabilize flight... Ugh..."
Whispering the flying techniques she had learned from her juniors, Marigold tentatively shifted her attention away from magic output and tried to change her flying habits little by little.
...Then, with a sudden surge of unstable magic, she shot out, and the girl's scream quickly faded into the distance.
"Looks like I still need to practice more." Hyacinth said with a smile, looking at the hastily dressed and disheveled marigold.
Then she turned to the winged girl beside her and asked her:
"How does it feel to become a magical girl?"
"Hmm...it's quite interesting. Although I'm still not very familiar with other magic, flight magic is very interesting. I can fly higher and faster than usual!"
Shuoye turned his head ninety degrees to look at the hyacinth and chuckled as he spoke.
Immediately afterwards, she flapped her wings and flipped in mid-air, performing a somersault maneuver to the other side of the hyacinth. Her flight posture and speed remained unchanged, and her movements were simple and elegant.
"And I can fly like this! I never even dared to dream of doing this before."
"You fly so well! I feel like in a while your flying skills will surpass all of ours." Hyacinth didn't hold back her praise, and Asahi gave his junior, Asahi, a thumbs up.
The level 4 commissions issued by Hellcat were to be carried out at night. Hyacinth had nothing to do during the day, so she simply took on some other simple commissions, as if to familiarize the newcomers with magic and warm them up.
There's no need to say much about Shuo Ye, who's a complete newbie. Besides, her stargazers are Bai Ling and Yue Tianxin, who are her direct juniors in terms of seniority. As a senior, she has to guide her juniors to get acquainted with the life of a magical girl.
Marigold's advanced studies still had some time left, so she applied to Snow City to participate in the Rongcheng reconstruction project, which allowed her to consolidate the magical knowledge and combat skills she had learned in the recent battle of the Mind World.
Once she returns, she'll surely be able to become a capable and outstanding magical girl with all that knowledge and skills. Hyacinth had great confidence in her.
But the other bunny magical girl who came from Snow City for further studies seemed a bit strange—
Magical Girl Yuuka, a rabbit-like beastman with pink fur like Cheshire Rabbit, has a very close relationship with him, making people wonder if they know each other in their daily lives and perhaps have some unknown intimate relationship.
She disappeared after starting her studies... Although her presence was indeed not very strong, and she had learned invisibility magic from Cheshire Rabbit, making it even more impossible for anyone to know where she was when she was invisible, the fact that she could never be seen...
"They've probably gone to find Cheshire Rabbit and the others," Hyacinth could only helplessly state the conclusion Nightingale had drawn.
"Waaaaah, I'm going to fall! Senior, save me—"
Marigold's flying magic muscle memory was still training, so Hyacinth quickly interrupted her thoughts, accelerated, and grabbed her, preventing her from crashing headfirst into the high-rise construction site below.
It seems the road ahead is long and arduous. So says the hyacinth.
