Chapter 366 The Fox Has Its Eyes on the New Dog
[Task Completed]
【Task 5: Complete a daily quest with Alice, 1/1】
Noon, nap time.
The catgirl was still fast asleep in bed, while Su Tianqing woke up early from her afternoon nap and opened the secret manual to sort out the task rewards settled yesterday.
A simple 500 Divine Stones.
"Standing on the rooftop watching Alice fight Hyacinth and getting a Divine Stone? The Secret Codex is really generous," Su Tianqing thought to herself.
The reserves of ancient divine stones have returned to a respectable 1000, and ordinary divine stones have also been replenished to four figures. Although not abundant, at least we have enough to cope with possible unexpected events.
But in the end, has this fox ever really encountered any unexpected situation that required the use of secret manuals to handle?
It counted once when Jormungandr was around, and once when Leviathan was around; the two rounds of astral behemoths had exhausted half a year's savings.
But upon closer reflection, it's like exchanging my savings for Inari's magic book and several other items like the fox mask, so I didn't really lose out.
"Anyway, let's look at some other tasks!"
【Task Update】
[Task 6: Continue to improve Alice's strength and attempt to defeat the Iris Flower, 0/1]
It seems that the Secret Codex also feels that Alice's current strength is completely insufficient, so let's just treat it as a long-term goal for now.
The reward from the other task was even more exciting—
[Quest Chain 7: The Truth About the Ripper, Completed]
A new type of weirdo!
Su Tianqing almost immediately created a blank, gutted monster and examined its stats.
Hmm... its attributes are surprisingly average. Apart from its unique ability [Blade Skin], it is inferior to my Black Wolf Monster in every other aspect.
It seems that the ripped monster that's been bothering Aurora is an irreplaceable, one-of-a-kind specimen. I slightly regret not locking it up and dissecting it for research back then.
In addition, new tasks are naturally indispensable:
【Task Update】
[Dandelion Mission: Magical Girl Recruitment in Progress]
[Searching for suitable magical girl candidates, recruiting new righteous magical girls, 0/1]
[Reward: 500 Divine Tome Stones, 100 Ancient Divine Tome Stones]
A long-awaited dandelion quest, the small flower at the bottom distinguishes this quest from other quest chains.
So this is where my focus will be from now on.
This increases the number of righteous magical girls, laying a solid foundation for more fun in the future!
……
But what about this candidate?
When Xiaoyu woke up from her afternoon nap, and the cat and fox sat at the desk to begin today's tutoring session, Su Tianqing couldn't help but think about this question.
The last time I actively expanded my magical girl roster, I chose Lin Muyao, who later successfully became the magical girl [Nightingale], and she and Hyacinth have been active together ever since.
According to the ranking of the compatibility of the secret manuals, the person with the highest compatibility in Chengdu is undoubtedly Nan Xiaofeng, with a rate of 99%, truly deserving of the title of the kingly faction.
Next is Karin's 97% and Lin Muyao's 94%. These three are born magical girls, as personally certified by the Secret Codex.
Even for avid fans like Rabbit, only slightly over 80% are interested.
As for the list Bai Ling provided...
Su Tianqing compared the results briefly and found that the highest suitability was only 25%, which was less than half of the passing grade of 60%, making people wonder how she developed into a hyacinth.
...Something seems a bit off.
Since Bai Ling developed into a top-tier, ace-level talent like Nan Xiaofeng right after landing, and was also able to keenly perceive the talents of Lin Muyao and Hua Ling, why couldn't she find a suitable person later on?
Could it be that she's deliberately putting on an act for herself?
Looks like I'll have to get Yue Tianxin to step up her charm on Bai Ling. I'll just have to switch to automatic mode and ask her out for a day sometime, so she doesn't get suspicious. Su Tianqing thought to herself.
...Secret manual, you know what I mean, right?
[Store Update]
[Stargazer's Yearbook, 1000 Divine Stones]
[For stargazers whose contact information has been obtained, their detailed information can be viewed.]
Why do I have to spend money?!
Oh well, it's just a small amount of money. I'll spend it if I want. I have plenty of Divine Stones in my account.
A sound seemed to come from the void: "Ding-dong, 1000 Divine Stones have been received."
Seeing the number of Divine Stones dwindling, Su Tianqing felt a little heartache.
But when the familiar opened the Stargazer's Yearbook, which was worth 1000 Divine Stones, Su Tianqing suddenly felt that the money was perhaps too good to be true.
Bai Ling, ** years old
[A graduate of the 1024th class of the Astral Calendar, currently serving as a stargazer in Chengdu]
In addition to basic data such as height and weight, it even includes ambiguous information such as "likes to eat grilled chicken cutlets".
Doesn't this give them a firm grip on Bai Ling?
After entrusting the stargazing date plan to Yue Tianxin Huhu (who was using an automatic transmission), Su Tianqing glanced at Nan Jiayu, who was diligently reading, and continued to ponder the matter of recruiting magical girls.
Since the goal is to expand the number of righteous people, it is natural to start with those with high suitability.
Excluding Nan Xiaofeng, Hua Ling, and Lin Muyao, the next ones are...
[Suitability 92%]
Su Tianqing noticed the excellent suitability score at first glance.
He's a good match, and his age is suitable. Although he's younger than Nan Xiaofeng, the age difference is only one year, so we should be able to get along well.
With a candidate in mind, Su Tianqing opened the detailed information page.
After upgrading the opening ability of the secret manual, even the information of the suitable candidate appeared on the intelligence page, which was very beneficial to the progress of his plan.
However, when Su Tianqing looked at the name and address at the back, the entire fox was stunned:
[Rongcheng Third College of Arts and Sciences, First Year]
【Wang Xiaowang】
[Race: Dog-type Orc]
Dogs? That's quite rare.
And since she happens to be in the same school as Nan Xiaofeng, wouldn't that allow her to directly replicate Hua Ling's experience?
Thinking of this, the golden fox felt instantly cheerful.
Secret manual! Let me see where this upright dog lives! This fox is going to make a house visit!
[Address: College of Arts and Sciences dormitory, currently staying overnight during the holidays]
Ok?
Staying in the dorm during the Lunar New Year holiday? Secret Codex, is your positioning flawed?
The familiar closed the secret manual, patted the cover hard, and reopened it, but the text remained unchanged.
...This is bad.
The address was correct, which meant that the person he was planning to develop a relationship with was indeed Wang Xiaowang...
"Little fish."
"Um?"
The catgirl, who was engrossed in reading, suddenly felt a furry tail touching her back. She immediately wrapped her cat tail around the unruly fox tail and turned to look at the foxgirl who had come close to her.
"What's wrong?"
Do you know about Rongcheng Third College of Arts and Sciences?
"Of course I know, isn't that the school Xiao Feng attends?" Nan Jiayu said, twitching her cat ears in confusion.
"Hmm... Xiaoyu, why don't you ask Xiaofeng if her school has any summer camps or group stays during the holidays?"
Su Tianqing broadened the topic considerably to avoid arousing suspicion.
Nan Xiaofeng quickly sent a reply.
"The school organizes summer camps every year, and they approve long-term overnight stays during the summer, but for the winter break... I remember that overnight stays are only scheduled until the day before New Year's Eve."
"I see! Can I bring my family to the summer camp?"
"Of course not! If Sister Tianqing wants to join in, Sister Jiayu can take everyone to Shanghai!"
After the conversation ended and a few jokes were exchanged, Cat and Fox returned to their tutoring routine.
But Su Tianqing couldn't forget the address written in the secret manual.
A canine beastman who spent the entire New Year holiday at school—it seems her family situation does indeed fit the criteria for a magical girl.
Then it's time for this fox to step in!
Moonlit Fox! Strike!
