Magic Mirror! Magic Mirror! Tell Me...

While Stray Cat was wolfing down her food, Du Bei, who had nothing to do for the moment, did not stay idle either. He simply took out the Magic Mirror he had obtained yesterday and started fiddling with it.

"How was this thing supposed to work again?"

If he remembered correctly, this Magic Mirror's functions seemed similar to a certain phone system, except it was voice-controlled.

If he remembered right, it should be...

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, first tell me, who is the most handsome man in the world?" Following the method in his memory, Du Bei placed the mirror on one side of the table and asked in an odd tone.

To an outsider, it was inexplicably hilarious.

Stray Cat, who had been nibbling at her food nearby, curiously turned her gaze in his direction upon hearing the commotion.

Unfortunately, unless both parties intended to converse, even if they were less than a meter apart, neither could pry into the other's privacy.

No matter how close they got, it would be pointless.

[--@--]

[--⊙ω⊙--]

["Hello, my master. Your boot-up duration this time has broken a new world record. Welcome to using this mirror."]

Oh-ho, that familiar flavor.

"Based on my analysis of Master's question, the most handsome existence in the world is—the reader!"

"Just as expected!" Du Bei was not surprised by that answer in the slightest. In fact, he had anticipated it long ago.

It immediately asked a second question.

"Then, who is the second most handsome person in the world?"

["Why, that would naturally be you, my beloved master."]

The Magic Mirror gave the answer without the slightest hesitation. There was even a hint of flattery in its tone, like a little girl currying favor.

The sincerity of that attitude was simply astonishing!

But why was this Magic Mirror different from the one used by the witch in One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes? Could it be that they were not running the same version?

"Is your version different or something?"

"I remember the Magic Mirror in my impression looked like a white face mask. Why are you an emoticon?"

[--୧(๑•̀⌄•́๑)૭--]

["Dear, each version only has one user~"]

["The Magic Mirror senior in your memory should still be serving the witch~"]

["But dear~ the functions are all the same~ and I'm also a—cute! lit! tle! girl!"]

[--(⑉°з°)-♡--]

After learning the details, Du Bei more or less understood how to use this Magic Mirror.

Simply put, this Magic Mirror was a pseudo-omniscient existence. As long as something was not too outrageous, she could provide some kind of answer.

That even included tracking, doxxing, finding things, and so on... As long as you could provide a few clues or traces, she could follow them all the way to the end!

If he had to name a drawback—

Then the only drawback was that this mirror's expression module was a little ridiculous.

"Magic Mirror, can your main body become smaller?"

As he spoke, he gestured at the mirror. "You're a little inconvenient to carry around like this. It feels like you'll crack if I'm not careful and bump into something."

[--(༎̊́ᾢ༎̊̀)--]

["Sorry, Master, but this is what my main body looks like. I can't change it."]

["But you needn't worry about me being damaged. Our existences are bound together. Theoretically, as long as Master does not die, I am immortal and indestructible."]

"Really?"

Du Bei was genuinely stunned this time. Did the Magic Mirror have this ability in the original work?

One Hundred Thousand Bad Jokes? Then it was fine.

They were all a bunch of unreasonable existences. Having such an ability was completely normal.

"Magic Mirror, can you inspect the appearance of the girl in front of me? Help me remove that filter."

[--⊙ω⊙--]

["I am deeply sorry, Master, but I cannot fulfill this request. Due to the influence of unknown energy, the target cannot be investigated."]

["However, if you have some understanding of the target and can provide a general designation and basic information, I can determine whether she is the target person based on her behavioral habits."]

The Magic Mirror kept chattering away, endlessly displaying her formidable abilities and usefulness.

"Since you're so capable, can you get me some lewd pictures?"

["No problem! Collecting information on beauties across the continent—please wait—"]

Just then.

"Um, Uncle?"

Du Bei, who had been waiting for a surprise from the Magic Mirror, turned his head in confusion upon hearing that voice.

What entered his sight was no longer a blurry figure.

Instead, it was a black-haired girl with a curvaceous figure, dressed in tight leather! At that moment, she was looking at him with a grateful expression.

"Um, Uncle, thank you for helping me today. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have known what to do."

"You..."

Du Bei, who had been waiting for the Magic Mirror to give him X-ray vision, was momentarily stunned as he stared at the girl before him.

"You turned off the Cognitive Filter for me?"

Staring at the blurry figure before her, Zhu Zhuqing, who had little experience with the world, was filled with nervousness. She was terribly afraid that this action would scare away the kind man in front of her.

After all, he was the only person who had extended a helping hand to her during all this time she had been hunted.

That warmth truly made one a little obsessed.

That was also one of the reasons Zhu Zhuqing had so decisively turned off the Cognitive Filter "for him."

"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person?"

"I'm not. How bad could someone be if he was willing to help an unfamiliar girl?"

The girl's tone was exceptionally firm. As she spoke, a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she stared at Du Bei with unwavering eyes.

"Fine, fine. Guess you got lucky this time."

"You ran into a kind uncle like me. Otherwise, a pretty girl like you would sooner or later be abducted and sold off by someone else..."

Though he said that, Du Bei still turned off Zhu Zhuqing's Cognitive Filter.

The instant Du Bei revealed his true appearance—

Zhu Zhuqing, who sat across from him, blinked in surprise as she stared at the man before her.

It was as though she had not expected someone so much older than herself, at this age...

"You really are an uncle?"

Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's question, Du Bei merely shrugged indifferently. It was not the first or second time he had been called uncle, so he had become immune to it.

"By the way, Uncle, my name is Zhu Zhuqing. I still don't know your name."

Faced with Zhu Zhuqing's question—

Du Bei answered frankly, "My name is Du Bei, but don't go spreading it around in the group!"

"There's also that busybody Bibi Dong in the group. If she learns both our names, we'll end up on Spirit Hall's wanted list tomorrow."

It did not matter much if it was his own name. After all, he had a Five-Minute Level-99 Douluo Experience Card. If that Pope Bibi Dong really pushed him too far—

He would just enter Bibi Dong's secret room and give her some American-style "snooze, you lose," letting her experience the S2 conditions of Secret Room Douluo all over again.

Knocking Bibi Dong unconscious would only take a few seconds anyway.

As for the remaining time, he could happily transfer several hundred million into her account slowly, even without the Experience Card.
