With BH City in such a chaotic state, it's inevitable that Bingtang Tang will have to stay up all night.
For Ice-Colored Era Group, this also presents an opportunity to accelerate the upgrading of many industries in Beihai.
Of course, Bingtang hopes that Beihai will develop better and better. Although the losses seem large this time, they are actually just the reconstruction of some houses and are not crippling. Ice-Colored Group can easily cover the losses with a little effort.
Moreover, the Beihai Disaster Countermeasures Bureau can apply for subsidies from the General Administration.
The branch offices need government funding, but the headquarters' revenue is very substantial. The net profit from the Magical Girl Idol Project can not only provide ample welfare funds for the magical girls—even Miss Larkspur, who has graduated, can earn a monthly salary far exceeding that of ordinary people through this game.
After all, magical girls get a share of the gacha revenue. Popular magical girls can live a life of luxury without ever having to work, even after retirement, thanks to this game.
If they could also form an idol group and occasionally perform at concerts, they could earn a huge income and gain popularity, directly benefiting both the game and the idol group.
Even if you're not popular and don't know anything, you still have a safety net and won't live in poverty.
Therefore, unless they come from wealthy families, most magical girls hope to join the idol project.
You'll never have to worry about money for the rest of your life.
However, ordinary magical girls generally don't have much popularity, and since they also need to study and grow, they will at least need to reach Full Blossom peak and undergo a period of promotion before being considered for idol projects.
This is also the reason for the game ranking activities and local idol group activities of various Disaster Countermeasures Bureau.
The city government will also actively help promote local magical girls. After all, on the one hand, this can promote the city's safety and stability, boost tourism and immigration, and on the other hand, the more magical girls who enter the idol project, the more weight the city carries with the headquarters.
What if the local Magical Girl Idol Project pulls an SSR and becomes a huge hit?
Just like those magical girl idol groups that have already become incredibly famous—such as " Rainbow-Colored Magic Idol Club " and " South China High School Gaming Club " in East China South China, " Magical Girl Fruit Cheer Squad " in West China, " Alice Who Dreams of Magic " in West China, and " Shining Cinderella " in North China.
There are also older, legendary series like " 7777 Magic Idol Girls " and " Love Magic λ's's ".
It's equivalent to one or even a bunch of world-class celebrities. If there are Calamity Beast or enemies that they can't handle, the headquarters will give them priority in helping to deal with them.
Because this project had low costs and exceptionally high returns, the Witch Association actually launched a similar witch idol project.
The result was that online reviews were all positive, saying that all the witches were beautiful.
It's obvious no one's spending money on this game.
Currently, the server has been successfully closed.
The Magica that Bingtang had planned also came to a regrettable end with the members pulling each other's hair.
While it wouldn't be considered a huge hit, it has actually gained some fame in Jiangming City. After all, Jiangming City is full of idols and celebrities, and Magica has accumulated a few fans there.
However, due to various inexplicable events, the members started arguing, which culminated in a major argument during the concert.
First, there was a verbal exchange, with people arguing about why "Hakimi" was played instead of "Shinmanba." Then, they even incited the fans below to join in the insults. At the time, there were more than 2,000 people at the concert—some were just there for the fun of it, and there weren't many dedicated fans.
However, as the two band members started trash-talking and encouraging each other, the rest of the band joined in the trash-talking battle.
When asked afterwards why they fought, everyone said they didn't know. They thought it was a special segment of the concert, and that it was really well done, very rock and roll.
From singers to fans, they all fight together, and because of the magical girl, there's no worry about injuries or fatalities.
"It's like Marilyn Manson has turned into a magical girl!"
The two band members' verbal sparring escalated to hair-pulling, and finally they transformed into magical girls and clashed.
Fighting from the ground to the sky.
However, it must be said that the two magical girls are quite professional – the teachers that Bingtang found for them are all professional, and the training is very strict.
The concert also comes with hefty compensation fees; if it fails, these inner disciples will have to work for the Azure Cloud Sect for free for the rest of their lives.
So even while they were fighting, the two of them were still playing their music very seriously in the sky.
They even managed to finish the concert while fighting.
The result was that the concert became an instant hit, with online viewership exceeding expectations and becoming a phenomenon.
After all, the two magical girls were fighting and singing at the same time, and amidst the colorful magic cannons, the fans below were wrestling and dancing like they were having a blast. Even if you weren't there in person, you could feel the top-notch atmosphere just by watching.
The unprecedented audiovisual experience naturally caused a huge uproar.
After all, the magical girls in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau have always gotten along well; even if their relationship is bad, they'll only exchange a few words at most.
It's rare to see such a fiery transformation and direct attack, especially from members of the same band.
Not to mention that both of them are highly skilled, and they didn't lower their standards when they were fighting. It's not like their concert would be so bad that it was unlistenable. There were unavoidable heavy breathing and occasional high-spirited roars.
The combined effect of the lighting and the excited fans below actually enhanced the concert's impact.
Furthermore, the show "Magica" disbanded completely after this episode, making it their swan song.
The sudden surge in online fans for Magica has driven them into a frenzy.
At one point, a group of people stormed the entertainment department of the Ice-Colored Era Group, believing that it was all the fault of capital that prevented the two from performing together again.
But in reality, the two sides completely broke up as soon as it ended. Bingtang's personal attempts to mediate the relationship were useless, and in the end, they could only separate completely.
After that, one of them went on to do variety shows, recounting the details of the battles and performances on stage back then.
One of them went into self-media and did it very successfully.
Then, encouraged by their fans, the two connected via live stream and reconciled with a smile.
Everyone says that there may never be another best friend like Magica.
In fact, the two almost got into another fight when the cameras were off.
The two started arguing again in the same work group for inner disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Susan once demanded that the two be removed from the internal work group, as it was affecting everyone's work reporting.
As the group admin, Bingtang could only mute the two people and create a separate group for them to argue in.
They're clearly sisters, but they act like natural enemies. Bingtang can't help but sigh that my own Shuangye is the real sister.
It was only later that I found out that the two of them felt it would be too embarrassing to reconcile openly, so they deliberately argued in the inner circle group to tell everyone that they hadn't actually reconciled, but were just forced to do so by work.
Bingtang is already considering kicking them all out of the inner circle.
Having learned from this experience, Bingtang became too lazy to form a band again, even though they were very popular online.
But it came and went quickly, and with the two of them breaking up, the buzz couldn't be converted into revenue, so it was meaningless.
The entertainment division of the Ice-Colored Era Group even launched a girl band that imitated these two, using their high-pressure atmosphere and strained relationship as its selling points.
In reality, it was a complete disaster; the acting was mostly too over-the-top.
The two characters in the Magica, who had a bad relationship, actually had a good one during the performance, which is different from the later performances where the characters had a very bad relationship.
In short, the project has completely fallen through, much like the sect leader had predicted...
Bingtang, who had been working through the night, slept for a short while in the Illusory Moon Cave Abode.
When Jiang Si returned, she got up, washed up, and continued to handle the remaining work arrangements.
Jiang Si even summoned all her disciples.
This included Bai Mei, who returned last night, Qingluan, who was preparing for the inner sect exam.
Xingxuan, under Bingtang's arrangement, went to the city to look for a house.
These two families don't live here, and they can't stay in the Illusory Moon Cave Abode, so they have to find a house outside.
Once all the disciples were seated, Qingluan looked at the boy in front of her with a somewhat blank expression.
"Gentlemen."
Once the other party spoke, Qingluan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Shion is really a man!
Where did my cross-dressing beauty sect leader go...?
She bit her lip, trying hard to control her expression and not let herself appear abnormal.
Take a deep breath, Qingluan, you are a mature... slightly magical girl, think about what Iris said before she fainted:
" Shion! My nemesis! You've finally arrived!"
Your magical girl nemesis is a boy, Iris...
"Now, surrounded by external enemies and fraught with danger, with extraterrestrial demons eyeing us covetously, there is no longer the Infinity Foundation Establishment Advancement Method to continue accumulating strength for further advancement. As disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, especially you true disciples, you are the role models and leaders of the righteous path. You must advance as soon as possible and demonstrate the strength and courage to protect all living beings!"
Bai Mei was the first to applaud, "This disciple will certainly live up to the Sect Master's expectations!"
Yumo and Blue Flower immediately clapped solemnly, Four Leaves Six Leaves, though a beat slower, quickly followed suit.
Only Qingluan was stunned for a long time, until Six Leaves tugged at her hand, "Clap! This is the sect leader speaking!"
Then, somewhat amused and exasperated, they began to applaud.
Why is your Azure Cloud Sect also indulging in these kinds of formalistic things...?
"Since the mystery of Full Bloom was revealed, the crudeness of our realm division has become apparent. However, it's not too late to remedy this. A new realm is urgently needed to fill the gap between Full Bloom and Full Blossom, making advancement smoother and allowing disciples to more clearly understand their position on the Great Dao!"
"I have entrusted your senior sister with the full responsibility for the division of cultivation realms. She has a profound understanding in this area, so feel free to ask her any questions."
Bai Mei smiled slightly, "Master, you flatter me. It's just some minor work."
Of course, Jiang Si also planned to discuss this in more detail with her later, but it wasn't the focus of the discussion right now.
"I know that in the past, in order to better emulate the ancient ways and achieve the Great Dao Perfection, you liked to suppress your levels by following the ways of your ancestors. However, blindly following the ancient ways is not suitable for all situations. Now the situation is special. I have completed the first half of the path I have already walked. It is time for you to take a new path of advancement. Now I am passing on the method to you, hoping that you can advance as soon as possible."
As she said this, Jiang Si gestured to Bingtang with her eyes.
Having spent many years together, Bingtang naturally understood what the sect leader meant, so she immediately put down her work—although she was quite anxious, it was ultimately not as urgent as the sect leader's matter.
"Long ago, I discovered the optimal magic power ratio for fusion, but I couldn't find a better way to use it. I only asked you to practice diligently, as simply improving your magic power control precision was excellent and could assist you in battle. But now, I've discovered that the best use of this optimal magic power ratio is actually for advancement, allowing superiors to guide inferiors."
As she spoke, Jiang Si said, " Blue Flower."
"Here!" Blue Flower immediately stood up.
In such a solemn occasion, even Blue Flower dared not be frivolous.
"Let's try a magical fusion with Bingtang."
"Yes."
In the true lineage today, Blue Flower is still New Sprout.
At that time, the sect leader was missing, and many disciples were promoted, but Blue Flower just kept making Magic Puppet to find the sect leader.
Although his magic power has increased significantly, he still hasn't advanced in rank.
Now, the Bingtang is guiding the Blue Flower to undergo a magical fusion, and the Blue Flower clearly feels the change in the nature of its own magic.
And Lord Bingtang Tang's methods of using magic, his habits of controlling magic, and many of his insights into the use of magic were all transmitted here along with the fusion of magic.
Before long, Blue Flower felt that her own magic power seemed to have undergone a qualitative change!
She also felt as if she had touched the threshold of Full Blossom!
Although Qingluan couldn't understand it, she was greatly shocked.
Although she had guessed before joining that the Azure Cloud Sect was definitely different.
But I never imagined it could be this crazy.
Will arbitrarily changing the nature of magic really cause any problems?
It wasn't uncommon for people in the Disaster Countermeasures Bureau to have done this before, but magical fusion is far too dangerous for magical girls. If not handled carefully, both sides could suffer severe damage.
It can even affect the magical energy supply to the seeds!
However, as she watched with her own eyes as the Bingtang guided the Blue Flower's magic to fuse with it little by little, resulting in a change in its properties and even enhancing the Blue Flower's magical power, she was deeply shaken...
"Previously, you were suppressing your cultivation level, so it was naturally very difficult to fuse magic power during the New Sprout stage. However, once you enter the Full Blossom, your control over magic power and your magical power will be qualitatively improved, making magic power fusion much easier. On the other hand, Full Blossom guides the New Sprout's magic power fusion, which can enhance the New Sprout's strength and accelerate the advancement speed."
Jiang Si then said in a deep voice, "This is the new method that our Great Azure Cloud Sect is now advocating— the Ascension and Uplifting Advancement Method, where advancement first leads to advancement later!"
Bai Mei immediately clapped, and this time, without needing anyone to remind her, Qingluan also clapped in complete agreement.
This practical approach is much faster than the theoretical approach in universities, although it is also riskier, but obviously...
The sect leader only told everyone about the successful outcome after taking the risks himself.
Qingluan finally understood why he was the sect leader.
Now you know why Miss Bai Mei respectfully addresses him as the Dao Lord.
To pave a path untrodden by anyone, worthy of the title of Dao Lord!
"Of course, when two Full Blossom magical beings fuse their magic, once completed, the nature of the magic flowing into that being will change. This will not only increase the destructive power of their magic but also enhance its attribute changes, giving a magical girl who is not originally good at combat another area of expertise—in other words, an additional innate magical ability!"
"More importantly, once the nature of the magic is transformed, it's as if the magical girl's avatar has been infused with the Qi of Heaven and Earth, replenishing the Qi deficiency in her [body, Qi, and mind]. This allows the magic to achieve a subtle elevation in its level, something even the Full Bloom magical girls I've seen haven't been able to do."
"At the very least, your magic won't be easily corrupted. Neither grayish-white Remnants nor Filthy Magic Power can contaminate it. In this way, you'll have the means to compete with the extraterrestrial demons!"
These are insights gained from fighting and teaching Keke all along the way.
"Now that you know the flaws of the Full Bloom, you don't need to follow such a path," Jiang Si said proudly. "We'll follow our own path of magical transformation and the Purple Mansion Primordial Spirit. We don't need to compete with others for the Dao Fruit of Golden Nature; we can still rival the Full Bloom! Starting from Azure Cloud, the path of magical girls will be the flawless supreme Heavenly Dao!"
"Good!"
Qingluan shouted louder than anyone else this time, and was even moved to tears.
Several disciples who had originally intended to offer their support were stunned into silence by Qingluan's heartfelt shouts.
Even Jiang Si was stunned by the other party's excited appearance.
He had given this kind of impassioned sermon many times. Although the disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect would agree with it, over time, they rarely showed any excitement.
Even Bai Mei only nodded respectfully.
It had been a long time since I had experienced such an excited, respectful, and adoring look from Qingluan.
Jiang Si was extremely satisfied for a moment.
It's a good Seedling.
I will definitely give her the title of her true successor in the future.
For Qingluan, Full Bloom's death always weighed heavily on her mind.
Whether it's Iris or that senior who will never wake up again, they are both a heavy burden on Qingluan's heart.
Most importantly, if things continue like this, sooner or later other magical girls will also embark on this path.
The more responsible and loving the magical girls are, the more likely they are to encounter Full Bloom.
This is practically a dead end for magical girls.
Jiang Si's words about the flawless path, which would free magical girls from the death consequences of Full Bloom, resonated deeply with Qingluan, filling her with immense excitement.
Jiang Si coughed, then immediately straightened her back even more and said proudly:
"The mission of the Azure Cloud Sect is for all disciples and inner disciples to Full Blossom! I urge you all to give your all, and in the name of Azure Cloud, to dominate for all ages!"
"Yes!"
Several of the true disciples, unwilling to admit defeat, unleashed shouts no less powerful than Qingluan's.
Their devotion to their sect leader was no less than that of a newcomer!
After finishing explaining the important points, Jiang Si added a few more words, intending to discuss with Bai Mei the new standards for magical girls.
He felt that seven was enough; any more would be cumbersome.
However, as soon as it ended, Bingtang Tang pulled him over.
"Sect Master, Golden Tea from the General Bureau intends to discuss some cooperation matters with us."
Jiang Si sneered, "Didn't we just talk about this last time? What's the point of talking about it every day? Let's not talk about it!"
"It's about sending Azure Cloud Sect disciples to participate in the Mental Image Domain Awakening Trial."
Jiang Si, who had been sneering, suddenly became serious.
"Talks are essential!"
I was so sleepy that I tripped and fell down the stairs, spraining my ankle. I'll have to take a break from updating for the next couple of days. Sorry.
