Probability Shifts, Beast of Kingship! / Fate Game Quest System

It's really just a choice between "accepting with dignity" and "being accepted with dignity"... It's a very frustrating situation.

After all, the King of Wind City and Takemikazuchi found Qili and asked her to talk about this matter, which was already a very friendly attitude.

To be honest, Qili's status within the association is now at its zenith. She enjoys high prestige among both leaders and lower-level members.

After all, he has a close relationship with the Monster King.

She and her apprentice had previously gone to Kyoto to accumulate merits, and after returning after some time, they should be promoted.

However, this also drew some criticism.

The general idea was something like, "Could Qili be a traitor?", but such speculation came and went quickly.

In terms of the overall environment and public opinion, the prevailing sentiment is one of submission.

While everyone was pondering whether to speak and how to speak, Qili's explanation continued...

"I've tallied up the benefits the Monster King promised and what we need to give in return... First up is the King of Wind City."

"The King of Wind City wants us to publicly acknowledge internationally that Japan has been 'ruled' by the Monster King. But beyond that, he won't have any influence or interference with our system... He needs a nominal occupation."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned... While it wasn't impossible, it would be extremely troublesome to implement.

The cabinet ministers would find it difficult to agree to these things.

International condemnation doesn't really matter; after all, things are already like this. Too many problems don't bother us, and too much debt doesn't bother us.

It's mainly troublesome.

However, they quickly found solace in the Qili additions.

Qili began simply, outlining the benefits briefly. "Therefore, the Monster Group belonging to the Monster Emperor will no longer be active in Japan... because it's been occupied, there's no need for them to continue operating."

What?!!!!

Amidst the shock, a magical girl who had been listening in immediately slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Is that even possible?!"

"So, now that it's been occupied, there won't be any Monster Group causing trouble anymore? We only have to deal with wild monsters?!"

"Damn it, it should have been taken long ago!"

"..." Amidst the commotion, Qili began to explain the benefits and needs that Takemikazuchi could offer.

"Takemikazuchi needs is a good, filling meal that can be eaten anytime, and a place to sleep that can be provided at any time."

"Furthermore, it said it didn't want to manage affairs or work, not even the job of a king."

Everyone was actually quite happy to hear Qili say this, because it was actually a good thing that the Monster King wasn't involved.

And then comes the benefit...

The last page of the PowerPoint presentation featured a bunch of Takemikazuchi's emojis, including one of him "kicking her chin with his hind leg to tickle her," one of him "sparkling with starry eyes," and one of him "getting all frizzy from Takemikazuchi electricity"... Hmm, pretty cute.

"For this, it's willing to give us its emojis for free."

"..." Who needs that?!

Chapter 401 Changes in Predictions, The King of Beasts!

"Hello--"

Wearing a mask, Cong Yu said this, and with Takemikazuchi on her shoulder, she politely extended her hand to the head of the Magical Girl Association.

The other person appeared to be the vice president of the association.

After the Grand Master was occupied in North Capital and the headquarters was moved to Central City, he went into seclusion and has not shown his face for a very long time.

Therefore, the vice president is the highest-ranking official.

"Hello, hello, it's truly... I've heard so much about you."

The vice president, who spoke with such humility... had a shrewd look on his face and some of his own thoughts.

Okay, now you're familiar with it.

Cong Yu doesn't know why, but all the magical girls she's been exposed to lately have been cute and adorable.

It's truly moving to finally encounter a magical girl who's a relatively normal "adult" level.

"You flatter me. I'm probably not that famous yet."

Cong Yu's response immediately brought a smile to the vice president's face, "That's how it appears to those who don't know the truth."

"But within our association, your great achievements are widely known... Everyone knows and understands how much you have done for humanity, and everyone greatly admires you."

Cong Yu herself didn't quite believe this.

However, this didn't stop Cong Yu from going along with the other person's words and showering them with compliments. "Perhaps a little, but I still admire your association more."

In comparison... I have immense respect for your contributions to humanity, your achievements, and your reputation.

"Oh, not at all. I just did my best. There's still a lot I need to learn and improve."

"You're too modest."

"No, no, no..."

"No, no, no..."

"..."

"Yawn--"

Takemikazuchi couldn't help but yawn, and whispered in Cong Yu's ear, "Cong Yu, how long are you going to talk here? Hurry up and take me to occupy the Spirit Vein, then we'll beg for food together."

You're saying "mooching food and drinks" sounds more polite than "begging for food," don't make us sound like Hobos are just like stray dogs, okay?

Sigh, never mind, there really is no need for this level of small talk.

With this thought in mind, Cong Yu looked at a magical girl in the welcoming party and nodded to her. "Lead the way... I'm entrusting the matter of unlocking the Shackle of the Spirit Vein to you."

Actually, it would be fine to let Red unlock the door, but since the magical girl the group bribed is here today, there's no need for Red to do it herself.

"Yes, please come this way."

With that, the magical girl nodded to everyone in the association behind her, and then immediately led the way.

Although she was being somewhat proactive, she didn't seem unusual because she was already part of the welcoming team.

Well, that's what they say...

However, for Cong Yu, whether or not the other party's identity was exposed was no longer a crucial matter.

The Magical Girl Association is now a friendly force.

"..." Stepping into the association's underground area, passing through several locks, undergoing some verification, and navigating the intricate maze.

The location of the Spirit Vein Nodule lies in a basement that no normal person can find and no instrument can detect.

And without a doubt...

This was their destination.

"The Monster Group operating in Central City has withdrawn. We haven't encountered any freak attacks recently, and we're still getting used to it."

Cong Yu smiled at the magical girl who had spoken to her like this, "Wild monsters will eventually awaken."

Moreover, if Chi You's statement is correct, the awakened monsters will become stronger and stronger as Miss Chi You intercepts magic power.

However, it's definitely better to have no Monster Group causing trouble everywhere than to have wild monsters and monster groups sandwiched between two groups of monsters.

"Hmm, the Magical Girl Office will probably undergo a reshuffle after this, since there will be fewer commissioned jobs..."

This magical girl seemed to be in charge of liaising with the agency. She looked somewhat troubled. "With less revenue being drawn, things are getting harder to handle internally within our association... The withdrawal of the Monster Group isn't entirely a good thing."

She said this first, then smiled at Cong Yu, "However, as a resident of Central City, not as a magical girl... I love peace, long live peace!"

"..." Amidst this loud conversation, the magical girl responsible for unlocking the "lock" on the Spirit Vein also finished her work.

Looking at them, he gestured for Cong Yu and Takemikazuchi to go up.

"Yawn... Alright! From now on, I am the King of Central City!"

After thinking for a moment, Takemikazuchi realized how awful the name sounded, "No, forget it, I'll just stick with Takemikazuchi."

As Takemikazuchi spoke, it peered towards the Spirit Vein of the Central City.

What was reflected before him was the breath of "Spirit Vein" like a river... no, like a pulse.

Moving from one direction to another.

I don't know whether to describe it as "flowing" or "drifting," it's something like ethereal white smoke and silk.

It is primordial magic.

Its form shifts, an aura somewhere between "mist" and "silk," a river that meanders and twists from time to time.

This is why Spirit Vein can have multiple names such as "Dragon Vein" and "Demon Spring".

Just looking at it, you can almost feel its grandeur.

And without a doubt, the person who holds the Spirit Vein of the capital is the one who deserves to be called "King".

The reason why a king is a king is that he holds such an unquestionable greatness and sublimity, and is the master of a Spirit Vein.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Takemikazuchi used his blue-purple magic to gradually cover the knots on the ground.

The blue and purple magic began to slowly spread across the original colorless yet colored white... transforming the white silk into the color belonging to Takemikazuchi.

In short -- the white silk was dyed.

The scene at this moment, combined with the beautiful magical light shooting into the sky, creates a sense of grandeur and epic scale.

If this moment were painted in oil, it might become a famous scene that has been passed down through the ages...

At this moment, Takemikazuchi also completed a crucial step required of a king—becoming king.

Without a doubt, Takemikazuchi.

A fallen leaf carried a message: beyond the mist, in the Japan Central City Central City, Takemikazuchi had become its king, and the newly crowned king spoke thus—

When are we eating?

[Event: The beast that shouldn't be king has become king]

The Fate Probability have changed.

(66.163%)→(64.825%)

Chapter 402 Fate Game Quest System

The Fate Probability have dropped, and by a full percentage point... almost two percentage points.

What happened?!

"A beast that shouldn't be king has become king...?"

After pondering for a moment, Miss Lin suddenly made a judgment. "Could it be that some major change has occurred among the magical beasts of Mongolia?"

When it comes to beasts, the only ones she can think of are the magical beasts of Mongolia.

The change in the Fate Probability is clearly not good news for Miss Lin... it proves that she is one step further away from a smooth retirement.

But that's all.

It doesn't really matter if they go down, because the organizational benefits for Miss Lin and other Followers of Moerae are distributed according to their efforts to "go up".

For every 1 percentage point increase in the Fate Probability, they are permitted to do something that would decrease the Fate Probability by 0.1 percentage points.

Although it's a small amount, it's still an extra benefit, calculated separately from the regular 13th-month salary and the quarterly gifts of laundry detergent, toilet paper, etc.

Moreover, it is extremely versatile; believers can use this "permission" for their own benefit, for example, to...

Buy lottery tickets.

Or it could be saving a friend who is about to die, or restoring seriously ill parents to health—things that defy one's original Fate.

So if they drop in rank, they can just start farming again, which won't affect the believers getting rewards... The rewards aren't one-time rewards.

That's incredibly generous, like playing a game.

However, according to the divine instructions...

If the accuracy rate drops to 50% or below, something terrible and catastrophic will happen. Although Miss Lin doesn't know the specifics, it's best not to ignore changes in the accuracy rate.

Miss Lin sighed; she really wanted to take a vacation.
