Fang Zi's Layered Schemes / The Record of Fate's Origins

"Hey big brother, big brother, I'm here too! My name is Zhen Zi, and I'm also a Magical Girls. You can call me Xiao Zi too!"

Looking at the two hands in front of him, Ling Feng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He couldn't just shake one hand, otherwise he would offend the other. After thinking for a moment, he still shook hands with one of them.

Although this behavior is somewhat impolite, it's not a big deal.

This scene is so bizarre that it's hard to imagine.

"Hello, my name is Ling Feng, just an ordinary high school student... uh... nothing special."

"Wow, that guy is so handsome! Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Qingqing, I haven't even asked yet, how come you asked first?"

"Oh, so what? What's mine is yours, isn't it? We can just share it!"

Listening to this conversation, Ling Feng was truly bewildered. Just what was he?

Fortunately, Fang Zi had been observing the situation, and when she saw that things were not going well, she quickly pulled Ling Feng out of the encirclement of the two girls.

"Oh! Sister Fang, can we play for a while? We also want to play with Brother Ling Feng!"

"Yes, my bed is quite big, it can easily fit four people. Sister Fang, would you like to join us?"

"??"

Seeing Ling Feng's bewildered expression, Fang Zi didn't know what to say to the two of them, so she could only lead her people and run away quickly.

"We actually have important business to attend to, so you guys should hurry up and report your missions. Don't waste too much time here. That's all!"

After saying that, Fang Zi didn't wait for the two to react. He directly took Ling Feng with him and they disappeared instantly.

Upon seeing this, both women couldn't help but sigh. After all, it was their first time meeting the "legendary" president's younger brother, only to find that he actually had important business to attend to!

Does that mean we can't play together anymore?

As a result, the two Magical Girls, who had just returned happily after completing their mission, suddenly looked listless and hurriedly went back to hand in their mission.

At this moment, Ling Feng had already been brought directly into the Hall by Fang Zi.

This place lacks the ornate carvings, glittering splendor, and solemn atmosphere of the Forbidden City.

The interior of the Hall is very spacious. The interior pillars of these halls are supported by many huge gray pillars, each of which is engraved with some retro magic circle patterns. They are simple and unadorned, yet extremely magnificent.

In the center of the Hall was a huge light screen, thirty feet long. Ling Feng felt a little confused when he saw some of the words floating on it.

This place seems somewhat similar to the quest hall in martial arts and cultivation comics, with numerous quests listed, and it's clearly marked that there's a maximum of four quests per day!

Ling Feng looked at it carefully again, listing jobs such as finding lost cats and dogs, mediating fights, handling lawsuits, stalking and investigating cases, assisting in solving crimes, uncovering mistresses, farming, repairing water pipes and electrical circuits, delivering packages, delivering letters, gifts, and takeout, providing companionship for playing games and eating, accompanying others to play games and surf the internet, fortune telling, magic training courses, idol autograph sessions, song and dance concerts, anime convention performances, and private babysitting...

After casually glancing at some of them, Ling Feng was completely astonished. How could they have so many things?! Are they really that all-powerful?!

Is this some kind of job market?

Unlike the cold and desolate atmosphere outside, the atmosphere inside the hall was warm and comfortable, and there were quite a few people there.

A quick glance revealed about thirty young and beautiful girls, half of whom were dressed in radiant and eye-catching clothes, and they all looked like college or high school students around twenty years old.

It's like they're cosplaying Magical Girls at a comic convention—no, they *are Magical Girls! And every now and then, a few of them fly in or leave!

The scene was absolutely shocking; an ordinary person who witnessed it might faint from fright.

However, a large portion of them dressed simply, yet possessed a fresh, elegant, and fashionable style.

This is the Magic Association?!

Ling Feng felt like his brain had gone rusty. He clearly knew Fang Zi profile, but now he'd been fooled by her again.

Furthermore, Fang Zi's behavior in the study earlier was clearly too hasty, as if she knew from the beginning that she was an Astral Mark Girl!

Could it be that her astrology really reveals something?

Ling Feng was a little confused and a little scared, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that Fang Zi's demeanor at the time didn't seem like she knew his identity; she seemed more suspicious!

She wanted to confirm her suspicions?!

After understanding Fang Zi's intentions, Ling Feng immediately gasped.

Does magic really exist that allows one to predict the future?

Holy crap?!

Is this what they call outrageous?!

"Xiaofeng, do you know what kind of person your sister is?"

Fang Zi led Ling Feng onto the magic elevator to the second floor. There was a magic array inside the Hall that prevented the use of spatial magic, so Spatial Teleportation was not possible.

"Isn't it just Magical Girls?"

If that's all there is to it, Ling Feng knew about it a long time ago, and he remembered that Ling Xiaoyu seemed to be quite impressive.

"Hmm, so you knew that before. Didn't Xiaoyu know you were Astral Mark Girl? So, have you two ever fought? Did you lose badly?"

Fang Zi's lips curled up slightly as she turned back with a smile, her curiosity growing stronger.

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng remained silent; he didn't even bother to listen to the girl.

Can't you say something nicer?

Chapter Fourteen: Fang Zi's Thousand Layers of Schemes

Ling Xiaoyu is one of the founders of the Linzhou Magic Association, and also the founder of the Supreme Destruction Magic, the Sacred Mark Origin-Release Forbidden Spell.

A few years ago, among his peers, Fang Zi would often go out with Ling Xiaoyu and a few others after school every night to fight on the summit of Linzhuo, constantly improving their magical attributes.

However, due to their rapid increase in strength, the damage they caused became increasingly uncontrollable, and they were even targeted by satellites at night!

It was after this incident that they stopped. At the time, it was only thanks to Ling Xiaoyu's spatial sealing that the situation was salvaged, and in the end, nothing was discovered.

At that time, the Ninth Bureau sent people to investigate the situation. It was an unusual phenomenon from the sky! It could easily be mistaken for aliens, causing public panic! That would be a really big problem for him!

There are plenty of keyboard warriors online, who can exaggerate natural phenomena into paranormal events or the end of the world!

Ling Xiaoyu possesses astonishing talent, reaching the Hall-tier within just a few months of becoming Magical Girls. Under the guidance of Ling Xiaoyu's insights, Fang Zi and the other Magical Girls quickly advanced to the High Tier and Middle Tier.

The first spatial Hall-Tier Magic came from Ling Xiaoyu's <Otherworldly Dream Space>. When it was first made available, the size of the space exceeded the entire area of Linzhuo!

Fang Zi and her group were terrified, as such a skill was beyond their comprehension.

However, precisely because of this, they now have a place where they can practice magic!

By cultivating alone in the dream world, the group complemented each other's weaknesses, resulting in faster and greater progress.

Later, they jointly founded the Magic Society, which was made fully public and established numerous branches.

To this day, the Magic Association has perfected a complete system, with more than four figures among its members, and it can be said to be at an unprecedented peak.

Of course, there were also many more things to deal with. According to Ling Xiaoyu, as long as it was within a reasonable range, anyone could entrust a task to the Magic Association.

If no Magical Girls is willing to take the job, then we'll increase the stakes!

Don't think that Magical Girls would really care about such a small amount of money; they are more about fulfilling their duties.

Regarding the issue of credibility, the completion rate after being picked up is over 99%, although individual factors cannot be ruled out.

Of course, completing each task will accumulate points in the Magic Association, which can be exchanged for bonuses, magic scrolls, and all sorts of items.

Some of them were even left behind by previous players; you can't even exchange them for points!

Besides their daily tasks, they also have to fight against the Astral Mark Girl. If they lose, they have to hand over their points, and if they win, they can keep them for themselves! These Magical Girls from the Combat Club are specially led by them, so newcomers don't need to worry at all!

Fang Zi led Ling Feng to her office, which was filled with magic books. They sat on the sofa, made tea, chatted, and Fang Zi told Ling Xiaoyu some of her legendary deeds.

Ling Feng sat to the side, his head buzzing, completely bewildered.

Wow, my older sister is so amazing! How come I didn't know??

Seeing Ling Feng's bewildered expression, Fang Zi sighed silently, reached out her hand, and suddenly, a magic book radiating white light flew out from a bookshelf ten meters high.

The next second, the book hurtled towards Fang Zi at breakneck speed, accompanied by a whooshing sound, before she caught it tightly in her hand.

That's quite a feat—retrieving objects from a distance!

While Ling Feng was inwardly surprised, he remained outwardly calm and unmoved.

She almost managed to pull off that stunt!

"What is it?"

"Tell me your sister's story collection." Fang Zi's face was beaming with joy, and the admiration in her eyes was impossible to hide.

When Ling Feng saw the book, which was even thicker than his own "The Perfect Lady Training Manual," his jaw almost dropped.

"Keep it. You can look at it now if you want, but go and get to know your sister better. Knowing her personality, I doubt she'd want you involved," Fang Zi explained.

Ling Feng nodded and accepted the book, his heart filled with uncontrollable shock. "Sparrow food."

However, he still noticed some clues in Fang Zi's words and actions.

"Let's get to the point. I guess this isn't the real reason Sister Fang brought me here."

"Huh? You're quite clever!"

"So what?"

Seeing Fang Zi's beaming smile, Ling Feng was speechless.

The thought of his current predicament made Ling Feng panic. He felt like a sheep that had entered a wolf's den, with no way out!

"Xiaofeng, join the Magic Association. Regardless of whether it's because of your sister or not, don't you like all the pretty girls here? And what about your Sister Yue in the Old City District?"

"They'd be thrilled if they knew. With your looks and connections, making millions a month would be a piece of cake. What do you say? Just stick with me, and I'll take care of everything."

"I refuse." Ling Feng was speechless.

"Why? Are you sure you don't want such a good opportunity?"

"Fang Zi, please don't say any more. Putting aside the fact that I'm Astral Mark Girl and might get ganged up on here, even if I were Magical Girls, I wouldn't join. Right now, I'm just a high school student. I don't have that many ambitions. I still have many dreams to fulfill, and I don't want to talk about these things." Ling Feng shook his head and decisively refused.

These conditions did sound quite tempting, but Ling Feng's mind wasn't on them. His main concern was that he didn't want to be bound by external factors.

"As expected?" Fang Zi reached up and touched his chin, showing no surprise whatsoever.

Actually, she had predicted this outcome through the magic crystal even before the two arrived, but she was still a little unwilling to give up, so she simply went through the process again.

"Oh well, whatever, I'll always wait for you." Fang Zi sighed softly, as if relieved, and smiled gently at Ling Feng.

Her smile was radiant and captivating, and her large, bright eyes were exceptionally clear and lively, carrying a gentle warmth that touched Ling Feng once again!

"Can I come visit you again sometime?"

Ling Feng tried his best to control his emotions and remained calm. Fortunately, he was a man who had seen many storms and was not about to be completely overwhelmed by Fang Zi.

They're all such adorable little devils!

"You're being too formal. You're practically my younger brother, after all. I'll come visit you sometime."

"Uh..."

"Dislike?"

"How could that be? Sister Fang Zi is elegant, beautiful, generous, and charming. I'm overjoyed. How could I not like her?" Ling Feng said ironically.

"Are you being glib? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking~"

"I was wrong."

You're right.

"??"

Fang Zi led Ling Feng on a tour of most of the Magic Association, which took quite a while. Since it was spring break and there weren't many people around, they didn't notice them much and had a good time.

Ling Feng didn't mind; he treated it as a stroll through the scenic area.

Tranquil and comfortable!

Chapter Fifteen: The Record of Fate Origin-Release

Strolling leisurely...

After this trip, Ling Feng finally understood Fang Zi had said.
