A Peaceful Dinner / The Spirit of Craftsmanship!

Upon hearing this, Lantian Zhu's eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment.

Cong Yu saw it, but didn't expose it. Instead, she reached out and patted Lantian Zhu's head. "The Wind City free, only the Wind City Squad, so when the magical girls in Fusha Village are on vacation, we go to fill in for them... that's how we run into Xiao Cui."

"If Xiao Cui didn't have some strength, she would have been killed long ago by her terrible parents and the anti-magical girl environment of Fusha Village."

"..." So that's really true. It's perfectly logical that the Wind City Squad has gathered so many people and turned out like this.

So here's the question.

"Cong Yu, how are you feeling right now?"

Lantian Zhu's voice finally revealed a hint of worry... just like everyone who knew their friend was the host of the Extinction Formula.

Doctor are like that too, and so are most other people.

Upon learning of this, the first thing I would do is ask about their feelings and state of mind, fearing that the host of the Extinction Formula might be distraught.

Cong Yu rolled her eyes at this.

"After all these years, I'm not so desperate as to want to destroy the world just because I've encountered some trouble... You should think about whether Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui are stable now."

This is indeed very worrying.

However, Lantian Zhu suddenly thought of a crucial issue. She hesitated for a moment, looked at Cong Yu, and abruptly said, "I want one too."

Cong Yu: "???"

"Cong Yu, you should get me one too, Extinction Formula... otherwise I always feel like I'm being excluded by you guys."

As she said this, Little Lan stretched out a hand towards Cong Yu, making a gesture as if to say, "Give me some, give me some."

Cong Yu: "..."

As expected of you, Little Lan.

Cong Yu twitched her lips, about to say something... when she noticed the movement coming from the "Gate" in the "storm".

Turning her head, Cong Yu met Xiao Cui's gaze from the tree.

At that moment, Xiao Cui blinked her emerald eyes and stared at Cong Yu, and then... the entire tree instantly collapsed.

Xiao Cui, who was in mid-air, fell towards Cong Yu.

"Hmm... I'll take it!"

Seeing Cong Yu hug her tightly without hesitation, Xiao Cui took a deep breath. "Brother Cong Yu, Sister Blue Sky, I'm back."

Lantian Zhu: "Oh!"

Cong Yu: "Welcome back."

Chapter 594 A Peaceful Dinner

"Whispering to myself, I sensed all of this..."

"Then... I felt it was about time to leave Fairyland, otherwise Brother Cong Yu and the others would worry, so I kept swimming upstream."

"Keep swimming towards the brightest light."

"Then everything went white before my eyes, and then I was out... However, I still can't open the door to the Fairyland on my own."

"I guess the Little Sprite will still need to pull me in."

"..." As she said this, Xiao Cui ate her food with gurgling sounds... Yaochuan Guang was still heating up some of the dishes that had already gone cold.

Xiao Cui was attacked on her way home from school and then trapped in a tree for three hours. It's already very late now.

Before Yaochuan Guang received Cong Yu's message and went out to deal with the strange man who blocked the Wind City Radio Station, he had already prepared dinner.

It's only natural that it's lost its appeal now.

"I see."

Cong Yu nodded, picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, and looked at Yaochuan Guang, who was putting the reheated miso soup back on the table, and said, "Well then, let me tell you what I know about Xiao Cui's technique."

"..." Cong Yu took a deep breath and said, "Xiao Cui, you just said you saw one of the 'fairytale' worlds of the Little Sprite."

"What you call 'fairytaleization' is actually a form of World Destruction, and your guess that 'it will immediately go out of control after you die' is also correct. This is a common characteristic, or rather, a feature, of this type of technique."

Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui tilted their heads in unison, while Hong casually remarked, "That's the 'Extinction Formula'."

Upon hearing this term, Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui immediately became respectful.

How do you say "tactical fadeaway"? It's called "tactical fadeaway".

However, Cong Yu is very familiar with Little Guang and Xiao Cui's behavior patterns... This attitude means "I don't understand, but I feel very impressed."

That's probably what they call "impressive yet incomprehensible."

Therefore, Cong Yu could only briefly explain, "As the name suggests, it's a technique that, if out of control, will World Destruction."

The two of them should be aware of this, as the name suggests.

At least you knew that before Cong Yu explained the exit like that... right?

Yaochuan Guang: "Huh? World Destruction?!"

"..." No, why do you look so surprised? Extinction Formula, what would it destroy if not the World Destruction? Hmm... well, it could indeed be understood as a spell to exterminate humanity.

However, the concepts are actually the same.

How should I put it? This is the weakness of human language.

It cannot distinguish between the "objective world," "subjective world," "emotional world," "macro world," and "micro world."

"To be more precise, it's a spell that cannot be dispelled after the death of its user, and it's aggressive and offensive to everything."

Cong Yu explained it more clearly, using a term that Yaochuan Guang found less difficult to accept. He gave an example. "The magical beasts of Mongolia are products of Extinction Formula."

Upon hearing this, Yaochuan Guang was even more surprised. "Huh? But those magical beasts were very weak; they were easily wiped out."

That's true, which is why the world hasn't been destroyed.

"Hmm, I understand."

Xiao Cui nodded, understanding something even before Yaochuan Guang: "There's no way to eliminate them once and for all, so they'll continue to restrain humanity, and sooner or later they'll drag humanity down... The Little Sprite are probably the same."

Even though there are many of them, the individual abilities of the Little Sprite are not as good as those of monsters. They are only at the level of a super strong monster that can clear out a large area with a single AOE attack.

However, if it's an "unclosable Gate" that keeps Little Sprite pouring out, then it becomes much more dangerous.

These Extinction Formula, each with their lasting impact, drag humanity down a little bit, so in the end, the End is only a matter of time.

"Just like you said, but not every Extinction Formula is so slow and steady... I also have Extinction Formula, and mine is a little different."

Cong Yu spoke, she ladled herself a bowl of miso soup, then looked up and met the staring eyes of the three little ones.

Hong, who already knew about this, nonchalantly munched on a large chicken leg.

To be honest, Hong isn't that interested in the safety of this world... She'll just use the Extinction Formula when Cong Yu does it.

Anyway, Cong Yu saved her life and gave her a completely new life. Even if she had to repay him, she would do it without batting an eye.

"Oh, I didn't tell you this before..."

Upon hearing Cong Yu's words, Yaochuan Guang grew anxious. "You might have said that, but it's unlikely you'd said it... What exactly do you mean?"

Lantian Zhu, as if struck by a thought, rubbed the goosebumps on his arms and said calmly, "That Giant Serpent of yours, it wouldn't happen to be Extinction Formula, would it?"

"..."

No, that's not true.

Cong Yu spoke up in defense of the "Jormungandr Train," saying, "My Extinction Formula... I haven't used it much... I can't control it."

Xiao Cui: "???"

Control? What kind of control?

Seeing Xiao Cui's puzzled expression, Cong Yu knew what she was thinking, "Extinction Formula are generally not very obedient..."

"Your Extinction Formula is so obedient, probably because the main body of your spell is a tree, Little Sprite is just a byproduct."

As Cong Yu spoke, Xiao Cui nodded thoughtfully, and Cong Yu sighed softly, "My Extinction Formula is easy to activate, but it takes some effort to deactivate... If something goes wrong, it will truly be utterly annihilated."

For Cong Yu, there are still things in this world that are quite precious, and they cannot be destroyed like this.

"I found out who the culprit was this time. It's a strange guy from the 17th Group who collaborated with some United States to kidnap Xiao Cui."

Upon hearing this, Yaochuan Guang and Xiao Cui immediately became tense.

"Another United States? Aren't they afraid of dying?"

"It's United States again!"

"..."

"Well, because they've become so used to using money to buy themselves a second chance after making a mistake... They may know this time is different, but they're already unable to change their behavior patterns."

Cong Yu, offering this sharp critique of the unknown enemy, shook his head. "There will probably be more later, so try not to worry..."

"Also, Xiao Cui, why don't you find Little Shadow to hide in and protect you, just like Nagashima Koki... Do you want one?"

Xiao Cui, who hadn't previously felt the need to hire a bodyguard, finally nodded in agreement with Cong Yu's suggestion.

This time, she almost got kidnapped and used to threaten Cong Yu and Xiao Xi... Xiao Cui really couldn't accept that.

Hong, on the other hand, was eating like crazy.

After all, Hong knew herself, and knew that Cong Yu's words were not directed at her... She was a security guard for the 22nd Group. If she couldn't even protect herself, then she really shouldn't be doing this job.

Yaochuan Guang hesitated.

After all, the thought of having a pair of eyes watching over him from the shadows...

Sleeping, cooking, eating, showering... it all feels weird.

Lantian Zhu felt the same way. She pursed her lips, her voice still calm. "Do you think Little Guang and I are really afraid of being attacked?"

That makes sense.

Xiao Cui was in great pain after being attacked because Xiao Cui was a mage and was not good at close combat.

Their physical recovery speed was not as incredible as that of Lantian Zhu and Yaochuan Guang.

If Lantian Zhu is attacked, they'll just capture one and blow it up, capture one and blow it up, capture one and blow it up...

As for Yaochuan Guang, needless to say.

Yaochuan Guang was attacked, and he was immediately jolted awake—"That startled me! I unleashed Black Hollow Seven Bites! Shadow Clone Cross Bite!"

Then what?

Attacker: Ha, you're in Heaven now.

Chapter 595 The Spirit of Craftsmanship!

Go to school!

For Cong Yu, today was another rare school day... Ah, saying that makes it sound like he's the kind of student who doesn't like going to school.

Huh? Isn't that right?

No, no, no, of course not...

Cong Yu didn't dislike studying; it's just that too many worldly matters kept her from doing so. It wasn't truancy; she had legitimately asked for leave.

The homeroom teacher asked the principal for leave.

(Principal: Yay!)

"..."

"Yawn... Cong Yu- chan?"

Yaochuan Guang turned around and whispered to Cong Yu during class, "Teacher Hong's lectures are so boring..."

Just as Yaochuan Guang said, Hong was on the podium, reading aloud the section on "relationships between the sexes" from the health and physical education textbook in a serious and methodical manner.

Logically speaking, such courses are among the few that would pique everyone's interest, and everyone should be happily chatting and making a fuss.

But the classrooms now are...

[Lifeless]

Almost no one paid attention to what Hong Xiawu Hong was saying; everyone was either fiddling with their phones, chatting, or sleeping.

Cong Yu was the former, fiddling with her phone.
