Volume One: The Training Progress Was This Fast?!

Even though shouting that out was a little embarrassing, Meng Yue was in such a hurry to get into the cafeteria and eat that she could not care less! Just standing outside the cafeteria and smelling the food inside was enough to make her drool. She did not want to waste even a second on this bear!

You want to know my identity? Then I'll tell you that I belong to your leader. Let's see how you can stop me now?

"Leader's... exclusive Slave Soldier??"

Upon hearing that, the Black Bear Monster froze for a moment... then revealed an incredulous expression!

Bai Yu had told it... that he intended to retrain the captured Magical Girls for his own use. The Black Bear Monster did not doubt Bai Yu's words, but it had never expected his training progress to be this fast!

How many days had it even been? That Magical Girl, once so lofty and responsible for killing countless monsters, was now calling herself the leader's Slave Soldier! And she had shouted it so loudly, looking proud of it too. It seemed she had been trained to the point of completely forgetting her original identity!

As expected of the leader! He had so easily accomplished what none of us could!

The Black Bear Monster was filled with silent admiration for Bai Yu, but then it remembered... Bai Yu had said he would turn Meng Yue into the strongest monster executive. That meant this former Magical Girl would definitely become its colleague in the future, and a very powerful one at that!

I need to build a good relationship with her while I can!

"Um... is this your first time in the cafeteria?"

The Black Bear Monster pulled a black card out of thin air and said with a smile, "I'll treat you to this meal!"

"Treat me? Can't I just go in and eat?"

Meng Yue looked confused upon hearing that. Weren't employee cafeterias supposed to provide free meals for employees? Why did someone need to treat her?

"If you don't have points, you can only eat the ordinary meals provided for free."

The Black Bear Monster explained, "And some special dishes can only be ordered with the corresponding organization points, or by those at executive rank or above."

"Oh?"

Meng Yue was interested now! She followed the Black Bear Monster to a dining table and asked curiously as they walked, "What could possibly be that special?"

"For example... Seven-Star Tyrannosaur Steak."

"Seven-Star Tyrannosaur... Steak?"

Those five words made Meng Yue freeze on the spot. Words Xinghua had once said to her surfaced in her mind.

It had been a bright and breezy afternoon when a dinosaur-like Magical Beast appeared in the city! Meng Yue had arrived before it could start wreaking havoc, and without another word, she struck it with Purification Magic, making the massive dinosaur vanish into thin air!

"What a pity..."

Meng Yue frowned when she heard that. She looked at Xinghua behind her and asked, "Wasn't it good that I eliminated the Magical Beast? What's there to regret?"

"You don't know."

Xinghua, who usually did not speak much, had suddenly become rather talkative. "Don't be fooled by how ferocious the Seven-Star Tyrannosaur looks. Its meat is incredibly delicious! Not only is it a rare delicacy, but eating a lot of it can improve skin problems and make your skin fairer and softer!"

"Magical Beast meat... can be eaten?"

It was the first time Meng Yue had heard something like that. Frowning, she asked, "How do you know?"

"I read it in a book, though this is the first time I've ever seen one of those Magical Beasts. Sigh..."

With a soft sigh, Xinghua said, "I was hoping to get a few pieces of meat to try, but Sister Meng Yue acted far too quickly..."

"I acted too quickly? Xinghua, are you even thinking straight? A Magical Beast that huge could knock down several buildings with a casual movement. If we didn't deal with it immediately, it would have caused a huge disaster!"

Meng Yue looked speechless. "And didn't Papi tell us that the flesh and blood of Magical Beasts are poisonous?"

"It seems the toxins in Magical Beast meat can be removed with the right method, but I've never tried it either..."

Xinghua shrugged helplessly. "Forget it, I was just saying. Besides, Seven-Star Tyrannosaurs are vicious, and when pushed too far, they self-destruct. Even if you killed one, it would probably be hard to leave an intact corpse behind, right?"

Returning from her memories, Meng Yue watched the Black Bear Monster swipe its black card across the table. A floating light screen immediately appeared before it. After tapping the screen a few times, the screen vanished.

Had it placed an order? Did it really order a Seven-Star Tyrannosaur Steak? Just like ordering food at an ordinary restaurant... it had ordered the very thing Xinghua had desperately wanted but never gotten to eat??

"Wait a little while. Special dishes are made fresh."

Then, the Black Bear Monster handed the black card to Meng Yue. "If there's anything else you want, you can order it the same way I just did. Aside from limited dishes, you can order whatever you want. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first!"

With that, the Black Bear Monster tossed down the card and left the cafeteria. Meng Yue was left alone at the broad, empty dining table... She instinctively picked up the black card it had left behind and swiped it over the table. Just like before, a light screen popped up before her.

"No way... there's way too much food here!"

Meng Yue's eyes widened as she looked at the dazzling variety of dishes on the screen! Never mind Magical Beast meat she had never seen before... there were so many things she normally could only see online, and she could order all of them! In unlimited quantities! Was this really something she got to enjoy??

"Let me see..."

Searching through the screen, Meng Yue finally saw what she wanted! She remembered that once, when she had been little... someone had waved a small net bag in front of her and mocked her for never being able to eat crab!

But who exactly that person was... and why they had mocked her like that... Meng Yue could no longer remember at all! Bai Yu's magic attack had erased a great deal of her memories. Aside from her memories after becoming a Magical Girl, which remained very clear... everything else had become blurry and indistinct.

Yet even after realizing this, Meng Yue had no intention of recovering those memories! Her instincts told her that what she had lost... probably was not anything pleasant!

After realizing that the memories she had lost were not good ones, Meng Yue had long given up on digging deeper into her past! But since she did not know which of the many dishes to order first, she might as well choose king crab and give that person from back then a good, hard comeback!

"Whoosh!"

Just after Meng Yue finished ordering, a small magic circle appeared on the tabletop before her. The next second, an enormous crab bigger than her face appeared on a large plate!

Volume One: I Want to Become a Monster Executive!

Such a huge crab... it looked exactly like the ones food bloggers ate in their reviews. It looked so delicious!!

Crab knives and crab scissors had even been thoughtfully placed beside the large plate. Meng Yue licked her lips and was about to follow the methods she had seen in food videos, but fortunately, she had not completely lost her rationality. Just as she was about to start, she suddenly remembered the persona she was supposed to maintain...

Oh right! At Bai Yu's place, I wasn't even very skilled at using chopsticks or spoons. If I skillfully used other utensils now, people would definitely get suspicious!

Of course... that was no problem for Meng Yue! She simply summoned cat claws with a thought and used brute force to pry apart the hard crab shell, exposing the oily crab roe inside!

"Mmm~~~"

Seeing the roe and meat inside, Meng Yue did not hesitate and immediately grabbed the enormous crab for a bite! The sensation of all that crab roe flowing into her mouth made her shoulders tremble. A feeling as if every cell in her body were dancing made her squint, and she even wore a dazed expression without realizing it!

"This is really good~~~"

Only after licking the crab roe clean from the shell did Meng Yue murmur softly. Then she grabbed a crab claw. Even though it was covered in hard spikes and its shell was extremely tough, Meng Yue did not care with her cat claws. She snapped it open with force, revealing strips of tender white meat inside.

But just as she was about to keep eating, another magic circle lit up on the table. Meng Yue watched another plate get teleported over. It had to be the Seven-Star Tyrannosaur Steak the Black Bear Monster had ordered for her earlier.

A thick steak lay on the plate, covered in black pepper sauce, with sides like a fried egg and mashed potatoes beside it. It looked no different from an ordinary steak.

What mattered was the taste!

Meng Yue dragged the plate closer. Looking at the steak, she still did not use the prepared knife and fork. Instead, she used her cat claws to cut off a piece, grabbed it with her hand, and tossed it into her little mouth---

This... this was!

The moment it entered her mouth, an indescribable deliciousness spread across her tongue! If the king crab had only briefly left her dazed, then now her mind had gone completely blank! A light, floating feeling filled her body and made her dizzy. By the time she regained her senses... the steak had somehow already vanished into her mouth.

I don't even know when I swallowed it...

That was Meng Yue's first assessment of the dish. She carefully cut off another piece and placed it in her little mouth. The steak seemed to melt inside, making her entire body tremble!

It feels like my taste buds are about to break... No wonder Xinghua had been so obsessed with this. If I had known it was this delicious--I would have found a way to capture a Seven-Star Tyrannosaur alive too!

Meng Yue would not know how to process it, of course, but considering she could perform toxin Purification within her own body, she could still try it even if it was poisonous, as long as the flavor was not affected!

While thinking, Meng Yue somehow finished the entire plate of tyrannosaur steak without even realizing it! Staring at the empty plate, she was in a slight daze. Then she instinctively brought up the ordering screen and searched for Seven-Star Tyrannosaur Steak...

[We apologize. Due to the difficulty of preparing high-grade ingredients, high-ranking executives are limited to one order per week, and points cannot be used to purchase it.]

She remembered there were only seven high-ranking executives in the Monster Organization. Even someone of that status could only order it once a week?

Meng Yue looked at the king crab beside her, which she had only partially eaten. Compared with Seven-Star Tyrannosaur meat, the king crab no longer seemed all that amazing. But then she thought about how she would not even be able to eat king crab, amazing or not, without the black card...

Ordinary monster soldiers could only order ordinary dishes, and even those ordinary meals were limited! Otherwise, if Meng Yue could have unlimited fried fish fillets, dried small fish, smoked meat, preserved egg congee, and so on every day... having those foods would be fine, but with her current status, there was no way for her to feast as freely as she dreamed of!

"If I become a monster executive, not only can I eat unlimited ordinary dishes every day, but I can also order several king crabs a day... and even eat delicious Magical Beast meat!"

In her daze, a strange thought arose in Meng Yue's heart... she wanted to become a high-ranking monster executive!

Since she had already infiltrated the Monster Organization, she might as well aim for becoming an executive! The higher her status in the organization, the easier it would be to act. And for food... no, for finding the Dark-Energy Converter, it would help too!

Clenching her little hand into a fist, Meng Yue secretly thought, I have to become a high-ranking monster executive! Better yet, the Monster Leader's only confidant! It would be best if I could make him obey my every word. Then he definitely wouldn't guard against me, and I could stab him in the back at a critical moment!

I really am a genius! The plan has changed. Starting today, I'm becoming a monster executive! Then I'll destroy the Monster Organization from within!!

But while Meng Yue was fantasizing, a huge screen suddenly descended from above the cafeteria! Then she heard a familiar voice...

"This despicable Monster Organization has actually extended its claws toward children! A total of thirty children and five adults have been imprisoned in a dungeon! Their lives and deaths remain unknown!"

Wasn't that Xiao Yun's voice? Why would the Monster Organization's cafeteria be playing a Magical Girl news program?

Meng Yue raised her eyes and saw the beautiful reporter she knew, loudly broadcasting, "Magical Girls Xinghua and Crimson Blade have already arrived, but we still have not seen Magical Girl Meng Yue! It is hard not to wonder where she has gone! Such a serious incident has occurred, yet she is still nowhere to be seen!"

Mm... sorry...

Meng Yue apologized in her heart while grabbing a strip of crab meat and stuffing it into her mouth. Yet she herself did not realize that her guilt was much weaker than it had been last time...

"Get them!"

"Beat those two Magical Girls to death!"

"What a shame I'm not on duty today. Otherwise, I could earn plenty of points from those Magical Girls!"

Hm?

Hearing the shouts from the other monster soldiers in the cafeteria, Meng Yue's ears twitched lightly. You could... earn points from Magical Girls?

"Ah!!!"

At the same time, inside a dungeon, Bai Yu looked expressionlessly at the middle-aged man before him, whose facial features and body had been twisted into a horrifying mess. "After crippling the children you kidnapped and throwing them onto the streets to beg, how were you so good at it? How did you come up with such an excellent way to make money?"

"Ah... ah..."

The man on the ground opened his mouth, wanting to say something. But since his tongue had already been cut out, he could only make meaningless sounds.

Volume One: She Used Phasing...

"I'm asking you a question. What's with staying silent?"

Looking at the man on the ground babbling incomprehensibly, Bai Yu sneered. "Are you looking down on me?"

Crack!

The next second, the man's pinky finger suddenly bent backward, as if an invisible hand had seized it and forcefully snapped it. His pupils shrank, and he once again let out a miserable scream!

"What wonderful negative energy!"

Bai Yu could sense intense pain, humiliation, hatred, regret, and other emotions emanating from the man... but not a trace of remorse.

Stretching out his right hand, Bai Yu absorbed the negative energy, so dense it had practically solidified, into the black mark on the back of his hand. Then he smiled at the man. "How ironic~~~ The negative energy you produced restored the children you crippled to normal! You've done one good deed before dying, at least. Aren't you happy?"

"Ah... ah..."

"What? You said you want to join your four underlings? Isn't that a bad idea?"

As if he had really heard the man say something, Bai Yu feigned surprise. "I'm a kind person. I was planning to spare your life... but since you said that yourself, I can only fulfill your wish!"

With that, Bai Yu pointed a finger at the back of the man's head, ready to execute him... but at that moment, a panicked voice rang out!

"Leader, something terrible has happened!"

The Boar Monster rushed in, panic written across its face. "Brother Ma... he... Xinghua cut off one of his hands!"

"What?"

Bai Yu frowned and asked, "Didn't he manage to hold off Xinghua and Crimson Blade by himself a few days ago? How did he lose a hand today?"

"That Xinghua... she suddenly... suddenly became impossible to hit!"

The Boar Monster was sweating profusely in its panic, constantly trying to find the right words to describe Xinghua's ability! After thinking for a while, it finally shouted, "She became like a phantom! None of our attacks can hit her, but her attacks can hit us!"

"She used Phasing?"

Bai Yu immediately understood what the Boar Monster meant. He asked curiously, "Why have I never seen her use that ability before?"

"Anyway, Leader, Brother Ma can't hold on any longer! Xinghua alone is already extremely troublesome, and Crimson Blade is constantly attacking from the side with her sword! He told me to notify you to retreat quickly..."

"I understand. Tell him to hold on for another five minutes."

However, Bai Yu merely said calmly, "I have something important to deal with here. Tell him to hold on for five minutes even if it kills him. I'll revive him anyway."
