Dimensional Judgment Descends

[Ding! Group Owner Ling Yuan has sent you a special red envelope.]

"?"

Speak of the devil, Laxus, who had just said that, received the red envelope.

"Has Ling Yuan finally opened up?" he muttered, opening the red envelope.

"RUMBLE!"

Accompanied by a flash of blue lightning, a one-handed sword wrapped entirely in blue lightning struck the ground.

Ling Yuan: "Do you like it? This is called Thunderclap. Hongyan, I also sent you Fire Joy."

Hongyan: "Thank you, Group Owner."

Hongyan gently stroked the silver longsword at his fingertips. By channeling Rukh, he could use the power of flames with very little consumption.

Most importantly, the metal material and forging techniques were far beyond what the forging technology of his era could achieve.

Apart from the strange name, everything else was excellent.

Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I like your grandpa!"

Ling Yuan: "???"

Fairy Tail World

Laxus collapsed on the ground, staring in horror at the Thunderclap before him.

So close...

Just a little bit closer, and his brother would have been gone!

Seeing that the group members were all satisfied with their gifts, Ling Yuan couldn't help but smile.

After blocking out the cursing Laxus, Ling Yuan took a screenshot.

He nodded in satisfaction, another day of harmonious coexistence with the group members.

"System, how is Yurou doing?" Ling Yuan asked, exiting the chat group and holding Ophis.

"Replying to Master, Miss Han Yurou has successfully infiltrated the enemy's high command."

"That impressive?" Ling Yuan was surprised.

He thought her personality would require some time to adapt, but he didn't expect her to be so efficient.

"Ding! Yes, moreover, Miss Han Yurou has become the Group Owner of the Transmigrator Group Chat."

The System's words caused Ling Yuan's brain to briefly short-circuit.

Chapter 47: Buying Water Meters?

"Group Owner? This is more than just infiltrating from the inside, isn't it?" Ling Yuan was deeply shocked after hearing the System's report.

For a moment, he was speechless.

Was the Group Owner of that Transmigrator Group Chat just that useless?

"Ding! Master, Miss Han Yurou is outstanding in every aspect. She will surely become a capable assistant to Master in the future."

"Why a capable assistant?"

"Behind every successful man is a woman who has transformed from a girl. — System"

Ling Yuan: "???"

Something's not right with you!

"Just make sure she doesn't get hurt."

Waving his hand, Ling Yuan didn't want to delve into these matters with the System.

Nor did he expect Han Yurou to be of much help to him.

Giving her the System was merely to provide her with some self-preservation capabilities.

Although Xia Ranran seemed foolish, she possessed substantial power.

Next, Ling Yuan continued his life of coding.

The deadline for submitting his work was fast approaching, and on that day, a new "Little Broken Site" would be reborn.

The sun was shining brightly today.

"Tap, tap, tap, tap..."

Xia Ranran hummed a tune while sipping her iced fruit tea, walking briskly on her way home.

Her mother had always said that one should bring gifts when visiting.

She hadn't seen Ling Yuan in so long; he must miss her dearly.

To further enhance her impression in Brother Ling Yuan's heart.

She decided to make a box of chocolates for Ling Yuan herself.

Even though it was summer, didn't they have a refrigerator?

On a familiar street...

A man in a blue work uniform, wearing a mask, walked over and blocked her path.

"Excuse me?"

Blocked, Xia Ranran could only stop and look at him in confusion.

The man didn't speak. Instead, he reached into his bag, rummaged around for a moment, and then pulled out a water meter head, holding it out to Xia Ranran.

"Hello, I'm selling water meter heads."

"???"

Xia Ranran stared at him, completely bewildered, forgetting about her fruit tea.

The more she looked, the more familiar he seemed, and the situation felt eerily similar.

After about a few seconds, Xia Ranran looked at the masked man suspiciously. "Um, have we met somewhere before?"

The man acted as if he hadn't heard her and continued, "This one is quite good."

"?"

This made Xia Ranran even more suspicious, and she said with some caution, "Uncle, my family doesn't need any water meter heads. Besides, shouldn't this be the job of the water company? Even if it needs replacing, they'd come to fix it when it's broken, right?"

To this, the figure opposite her remained silent, just holding the water meter head in front of Xia Ranran.

'Could he be deaf?' Xia Ranran thought, looking at the man who was silently watching her.

She then started using her hands to gesture.

"Uncle, I have things to do and need to get home. Could you please let me pass?"

"Buy one."

However, the man opposite her seemed not to notice Xia Ranran's gestures and repeated.

"..."

After a long while, she finally sighed.

It was no use. In the middle of summer, with the sun beating down so fiercely.

Xia Ranran didn't want to waste any more time with him.

"Fine, how much is it?"

Taking the water meter head from his hand, Xia Ranran asked.

"It's free."

With that, the man walked around Xia Ranran and left directly.

Xia Ranran: "???"

She looked at the man's retreating back, then at the water meter head in her hand.

She was completely baffled.

Is this guy... crazy?

Shaking her head, she continued humming a tune and walked towards home.

Meanwhile...

Behind a wall, the man gently removed his mask.

Revealing the same face that had previously tied Xia Ranran up and taken her to the Monitoring Bureau.

Watching her retreating figure, the man took out a remote control from his pocket and murmured softly, "As long as I unseal the monster beneath this city, I can avenge my great Smi-da nation!"

Then, looking at Xia Ranran's retreating back, a sinister glint flashed in his eyes. "Don't blame me, blame you for being born in the wrong country!"

With that, the man vanished from his spot.

Now was not the best time. It would be when everyone relaxed their guard at night.

Back here...

Xia Ranran casually put the meter head into her bag. As she passed Ling Yuan's house, her steps couldn't help but pause.

She looked up at the closed window on the second floor, feeling both anticipation and worry in her heart.

*'I wonder what Ling Yuan-ge is doing now? I wonder if he's fallen for any other girls while I was gone...' *

In reality, however...

"Ah~ that was refreshing."

Inside the room, Ling Yuan lay on the bed, hugging Ophis tightly and inhaling deeply, looking intoxicated.

Even the air conditioning couldn't calm his restless heart.

Ophis: (─__─)

He turned his head and looked at the notebook beside him, a smile appearing on Ling Yuan's face. "It's almost done."

"Ring ring!"

Suddenly, the phone rang.

"Bella, could you grab that for me?"

Closing his eyes, Ling Yuan, who was lying on the bed holding Ophis, called out into the void.

Instantly, Bella, who had been basking in the sun by the window, lifted her noble dragon head, braced herself on her four limbs, and slowly stood up.

She looked at the ringing phone beside her, flapped her small wings, and flew over.

After handing the phone to Ling Yuan, he gently petted her. "Thanks."

"Meow~"

Bella purred comfortably.

"Yurou?"

Here, Ling Yuan paused after seeing the name on the caller ID.

And so, Ling Yuan found himself talking on the phone while holding one girl and with another girl beside him.

"Ling Yuan, is there anything you want?"

As soon as the call connected, Han Yurou's slightly expectant voice came through.

"I want to become light," Ling Yuan blurted out subconsciously.

"Huh?" Han Yurou was taken aback.

"Cough, never mind."

"Lately, people have sent me quite a few things, including many skill manuals. I'll bring them over to you tonight."
