Late at night, on the Villain Fox Fox's rooftop.
“How did you like tonight’s lullaby~?”
“Well then, I wish everyone sweet dreams. Ben Hu is also going home to rest.”
After thanking the flood of SCs and donations, Su Tianqing turned off the camera, casually put it back into her magic space, and stretched.
Mmm-hmm—
Today’s live stream went smoothly. Although it was just chatting, the audience’s enthusiasm was still very high.
“Just from donations… it seems I received a five-figure sum.”
Looking at the income statistics in the backend, Su Tianqing felt even more passionate about this job.
Tomorrow, she would withdraw the money and deposit it into the bank. If she saved a bit more, she felt she could even buy a detached house in the suburbs specifically for her daily villain live streams.
With a teleportation spell, Golden Fox instantly returned to her bedroom.
The dustpan-turned-cleaning familiar lay obediently in the corner, and the laundry familiar had already finished all the clothes; the house was neat and clean.
After dispelling her transformation, changing into a nightgown, and a simple wash-up, Su Tianqing slipped into bed, ready to sleep.
Tomorrow was another early morning! She had to go to bed early!
But before sleeping, she decided to briefly review today.
Thinking this, Su Tianqing pulled out a thick book from her magic space, which floated open before her.
“Observer Knowledge Compendium.”
“I didn't expect that Ben Hu, as a villain, would actually have a day of studying Observer knowledge.”
Su Tianqing murmured to herself.
The content of the book was not very deep but quite disorganized. Even with reading magic, she could only finish about a third of it in a day.
However, she had to fully master this Observer knowledge. This was a complete prelude to what was to come!
“—Familiar Summon.”
Softly chanting the familiar summoning incantation, a small hand reached out from under the covers and lightly tapped the air. A golden light flashed, and a golden, fluffy little fox immediately appeared in the air.
A genuine Golden Fox.
This was the Observer familiar she could currently summon. Its appearance couldn't be changed; it could only manifest as this little Golden Fox.
It looked quite different from the Bai Diao (White Sable) Spirit next to Hyacinth. At least it didn't have wings behind its back, just floating in mid-air like this, and its limbs could even perform human-like movements.
“—Ah ah ah, crackle, crackle, testing, testing.”
After controlling the familiar to say a few simple words, Su Tianqing immediately abandoned the idea of finely controlling it herself.
It required too much concentration. Occasionally controlling the familiar to say something or do something was fine, but if she had to control it all the time, her fox brain would probably overload first.
It would be better to use the Xin Yue Magic Wand's customization ability to set it up in detail. A semi-autonomous, semi-micro-managed form would be quite good.
Thinking this, Su Tianqing pulled out her secret codex again and bought the large pack of 100 guardian stars from the hidden shop.
Although she didn't know what it meant yet, since she already had an Observer familiar, she might as well equip it with this gear.
Anyway, 500 divine code stone wasn't expensive.
After doing all this, Golden Fox turned over, waved the familiar away, and threw all the books into her magic space, immediately preparing for a deep fox sleep.
Looking at the empty pillow beside her and recalling yesterday, Su Tianqing suddenly felt very happy.
—Next time there's a chance, she'll invite Xiaoyu to her house to play again.
Or rather, in the future too…
Dreaming of the future, Golden Fox gradually fell into a deep sleep.
…
The next day at noon.
The early morning Fox Fox was gloriously revived!
After a morning of napping next to Xiaoyu during class and lunch, Su Tianqing returned home, feeling satisfied.
Today, Ben Hu was also in a state of full cat energy!
And ever since Xiaoyu stayed over last time, she seemed much more cheerful today, smiling more than before.
As expected, staying over is the best way to shorten the distance between people, Su Tianqing thought.
Now then, it was time for villain activities.
Satisfied, Golden Fox opened her secret codex to check her daily tasks and immediately saw this mission.
“Mission: This is also a Hero.”
“Transform into a hero form once and defeat any Monster once, 0/1.”
“Reward: 1000 divine code stone, Hero Association employment.”
Hero form?
Speaking of which, she hadn't used the hero form she bought in the hidden shop last time. She would use it after finishing her Observer knowledge studies.
After all, Hero Association employment was quite appealing; she always felt there would be a lot of fun to discover.
But before that, she needed to focus on the most important task!
“Mission: The Potential of the Xin Yue Magic Wand.”
“Complete 14 days of daily quests, 12/14.”
Only two days left until this two-week check-in task was complete!
And its reward was quite tempting— “New Form of the Xin Yue Magic Wand”!
That's right, Ben Hu could also have a new form.
Although she didn't know the strength of this form, it should be able to meet the demands of daily tasks, so she wouldn't be left without tasks when all the heroes got new forms.
So today’s daily task was—
“Daily Task 1: Second Day of Vacation.”
“If I tell you to take two days off, I will absolutely not let you take a day and a half. Honestly read and study.”
“Reward: 500 divine code stone.”
Long live vacation.
Su Tianqing clasped her hands, sincerely thanking today's slacking-off task.
With today's rest, she could probably advance her reading progress of the Observer Knowledge Compendium by about another third, and she would feel more confident when sending her familiar out alone.
After claiming the divine code stone from the vacation and seeing her weekly check-in progress advance to 13, Su Tianqing wished she could fast-forward to tomorrow immediately.
But even a powerful secret codex couldn't fast-forward time to that extent, so she might as well wait patiently.
…Just wait patiently?
“No way!” Villain Fox Fox showed a mischievous smile.
Facing the new form of the Magic Girl, the primary task was, of course, to gather intelligence. How could she sit idly by?
What's more, she now had an even more convenient intelligence-gathering tool—the Observer familiar!
“Familiar Summon!”
The little Golden Fox appeared beside her, floating obediently, awaiting its master's command.
With the Xin Yue Magic Wand in hand, Su Tianqing controlled the familiar to float into her arms and curl up. The tip of the magic wand gently touched its body.
Customizing familiars and Monsters—this was a brand new ability of the Xin Yue Magic Wand in its new stage.
While setting up the familiar, she might as well think about her next plan.
First, the secret codex said that her Observer familiar already had a complete background. As long as she controlled it well, it would absolutely not arouse suspicion from other Observers.
So the next step was simple: instill the Observer knowledge she had recently learned from her reading into this fox Observer, then give her a detailed set of autonomous plans, and then gain the trust of Hyacinth's trio!
Magic power injection complete.
The little fox floated back into the air, leisurely circling twice.
“Go, familiar.”
Su Tianqing gave the command, watching the little Golden Fox disappear before her eyes.
She had already prepared a complete script.
Now… she would wait for the performance.
