Chapter 231 To That Distant Seaside
【Task Chain 6: Mastering the Art of Spotting Differences】
Obtain a sufficient amount of Ancient Tomestones from daily quests, 200/3000.
[Reward: Unlock the Ancient Divine Stone exclusive shop]
The following morning, Su Tianqing checked the secret manual as usual.
Sure enough, the tome refreshed the quest chain and triggered a follow-up.
The previous task was to help the villainous ally obtain the Star Shadow. I have successfully made Xiaoyu the Star Shadow Hellcat, and naturally, I have moved on to the next stage.
But unexpectedly, this stage turned out to be a simple and brutal inventory task, and the first one was an absurdly large number of 3000.
You only get 100 Ancient Divine Stones after a whole day of quests! You'd better put some good stuff in your exclusive shop, otherwise how can you justify this long-distance marathon quest?
In short, let's check today's tasks first.
What? You're asking whether I'm in Guangzhou or Chengdu right now?
Su Tianqing glanced at the scenery rushing past the window and couldn't help but sigh.
It's 10 a.m. now.
I and Xiaoyu are sitting on a train bound for the port city.
The original plan to return to Chengdu today has been delayed by three days due to some unforeseen circumstances. As for what exactly those unforeseen circumstances are—
While having her familiar peruse the secret manual, Su Tianqing glanced at the news broadcast on her phone.
"Early this morning, a strange man attacked Guangzhou International Airport, damaging multiple flights and causing severe damage to the airport runway. It is expected that many flights will be canceled within the next three days. Please pay attention to your flight schedule. The airport will provide free rebooking for passengers."
Upon seeing this news, Golden Fox immediately checked her flight information, and sure enough, she saw the word "delayed" clearly on the flight app.
Su Tianqing felt extremely angry.
Flight delays mean that my and Xiaoyu's itinerary will have to change, so we'll have to rebook the hotel for a few more days and make some new plans for these three days.
"Speaking of which, Tianqing, don't you know teleportation magic? Why don't we just teleport back?"
Nan Jiayu sipped her drink and spoke to the resentful fox beside her.
"That won't do! Flying is part of the travel experience!"
Su Tianqing answered affirmatively.
"Besides, I paid for the plane tickets, how can I just let it go like this?"
"Hmm...that works too."
Nan Jiayu nodded with a wry smile.
Anyway, I just accompany Tianqing around to play, and she decides the specific itinerary.
But thinking about it, it was indeed a bit of a disappointment. After all, we were planning to go back to Chengdu, and then suddenly we heard that our flight had been smashed by some weirdo. Anyone would feel a bit shocked and upset in that situation.
"Speaking of which, Tianqing, when do you plan to start that event you mentioned yesterday?"
Thinking of this, Nan Jiayu brought up the matter.
【The Real and Fake Magical Girls】, a brand new activity plan proposed by Ameyoko, the Fox Spirit, last night.
From a planning perspective, Ame's scheme was actually quite simple: use the power of the transformation talisman to disguise herself as one of the righteous magical girls, infiltrate their group to create chaos, and enjoy the sight of the magical girls distrusting each other.
But mere suspicion doesn't seem very fun, and "infiltrating in" is quite difficult in itself.
As they chatted, the two looked at each other and wagged their tails, lost in thought.
"Little Fish, you're right," Su Tianqing murmured.
"But we only have a plan; we can add a lot of interesting things to it."
"And how to blend in is also something worth discussing," Nan Jiayu said thoughtfully.
It was a little chilly on the train.
Su Tianqing moved closer to the catgirl beside her, deliberately placing her tail within reach of the catgirl's hand, and tilted her head to look at Nan Jiayu, whose body suddenly stiffened.
Then, as if deliberately sticking to the catgirl next to it, the fox almost lay on the catgirl's shoulder.
"Little fish, you feel so warm."
"The golden fox said in a low voice."
"Huh...Is that so?"
Nan Jiayu was a little nervous, but she immediately and subconsciously began to stroke the furry golden tail.
The long-lost fox tail has an exquisitely smooth and silky feel. Just stroking the fur allows your fingers to glide over the unparalleled and wonderful touch. No matter how long you touch it, you will not feel any unease.
It can even make people completely immersed in it, forgetting everything around them and focusing solely on savoring this wonderful tail.
"...Little fish, have you ever seen the ocean?"
Suddenly, the fox keychain hanging on the catgirl spoke softly.
The fish paused for a moment while stroking its tail, and the tail immediately slapped in dissatisfaction, urging the fish to keep stroking it.
"Yes, I've seen it. I used to go to the sea often when I was studying in Shanghai," the catgirl answered honestly.
My trip to the port city with Tianqing was a completely impromptu decision.
After all, with the flight delayed and the airport unrecoverable, it's better to go somewhere else and have some fun than to stay in Guangzhou any longer.
The port city became their destination – it's easily accessible by high-speed rail and is a world-renowned metropolis.
But for Su Tianqing, who has always lived in Chengdu, an inland city, the view of the "sea" is definitely more attractive than the reinforced concrete of the metropolis.
Actually, I don't really like the ocean.
"Huh? Why?"
The golden fox immediately tilted its head and whispered a question to the catgirl beside it.
"I've heard that the ocean and beaches are quite attractive. Little Fish, is it because you've seen too many of them that you don't like them?"
"Not really, I just feel... lonely when I look at the sea."
The catgirl recalled her experiences in Shanghai.
"When I was studying in Shanghai, my classmates ostracized orcs, thinking they were all oddballs and heretics. I had almost no friends."
"During my holidays, I mostly stay at home reading and doing homework, and only occasionally go to the beach to relax."
"But when I see that vast and boundless sea... I feel a strange sense of loneliness."
"It's as if nothing else in the world exists, leaving only the vast blue sea, like the boundless starry sky above..."
At this point, Nan Jiayu's ears drooped, as if she were lost in some unpleasant memories.
But I was soon drawn to a warm, soft hand.
The golden fox quietly reached out and grasped the catgirl's hand beside him, holding it firmly in his palm.
"So that's how it is."
"From now on, I'll always accompany you, Little Fish, to see the sea, so you won't feel lonely!~"
The golden fox smiled happily.
Nan Jiayu felt her heart almost skip a beat. She opened her mouth slightly, unsure of what to say, but still silently clenched the warm little fox hand in hers.
The train sped towards the sea.
The girls held each other's hands tightly, dreaming of their bright future.
And... a brand new plan for "The Real and Fake Magical Girls".
