I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 202 : 183. Abnormal State

With a light laughter, the crowd's gaze inadvertently gathered on Mushroom, and whispers began to rise.

"Turns out she is the daughter of that failure Liszt, tsk tsk, she even has the nerve to attend the selection for the Holy Daughter, disgusting!"

"Hey, is there gossip?"

"Didn't you hear? More than three months ago, a huge flaw appeared in Infinite Realm of Zone 51, causing Junlin City almost to be invaded by the Divine Evil Association. This flaw was caused by Prince Liszt's embezzlement."

"At that time, if it weren't for the Peach Organization, at least half of Junlin City's eight million citizens would have died."

"Oh right, I saw this on the news. I must say, your Zone 51 really is disaster-prone. Just a few years ago, a Venerable died, and this year it almost got invaded by the Divine Evil Association; unlike our seven zones, which haven't had any issues for decades..."

"That's why, now you understand, right? The daughter of such a failure, I really can't understand how she's still alive."

"Ah, that's not fair, misfortune should not affect the family."

"Hehe~ the premise of misfortune not affecting the family is that benefits don't reach the family either. Look at the branded clothes she's wearing; do you think this good-for-nothing has the ability to earn enough money to buy these luxuries?"

Hearing this, Mushroom actually wanted to retort; after she ran away from home, she had not used a single cent from Liszt, and the fortune her mother left was enough for her to squander for a lifetime, not to mention the money she earned in the game was sufficient to maintain her daily expenses...

But the moment she remembered using Liszt's money when she was a child, and now living in the manor Liszt left behind after his death... she momentarily didn't know how to counter.

Mushroom gritted her teeth and awkwardly got up, scarcely lifting her head, under the Church Court's Holy Light, the dense crowd stood, their cold eyes filled with disgust and scorn, looking down at her.

The crowd's murmuring buzzed in Mushroom's ears; she couldn't bear the gaze that felt like it could kill, her heart clenched, and her throat turned sour as she subconsciously stepped back, hiding herself in the shadows of the wall corner.

Someone in the crowd suddenly threw a wad of paper, hitting Mushroom right between the eyebrows.

However, seeing Mushroom just standing in the corner with a flushed face and no response, not even a rebuttal, the crowd found it boring,

originally thinking the princess would get angry; they did not expect her to be such a coward, and they shook their heads in disdain.

"Hilarious, such a loser, I'm not even going to bother denouncing her."

"Let's leave, everyone. Don't gather around here; it would be bad if someone misunderstood that we were bullying the princess."

A tall woman with heavy makeup chuckled and waved her hand to disperse the crowd.

She was the one who had tripped Mushroom initially, wanting to mock her, but never expected the situation to escalate, so she had to quickly disperse the crowd.

After all, although she disliked Prince Liszt, she knew stirring up trouble in the Church Court wasn't a wise choice.

As she spoke, people chuckled and gradually dispersed, quickly forgetting about Mushroom.

The heavily made-up woman gave one disdainful glance at the girl in the corner, shook her head, and turned away: "Let's go as well."

Her close friends followed, bantering, "Sister Miki, I must say, this so-called princess is hilarious, such trash daring to compete for the Holy Daughter."

"Really overestimating herself, let's go, no need to bother with her anymore..."

They walked farther and farther away.

Mushroom slowly slid down along the wall corner, her head down, silent. Even though the encircling crowd had long dispersed, for some reason, her heart clenched tighter—a drip fell.

People bustled past her, her figure sinking into the shadow in the corner, like a mushroom growing in a dark, damp corner, ignored and uncared for even after the storm.

Mushroom had always known she was just an ordinary girl; without the princess title, she really had no merits. Nobody in the real world would like someone like her—timid, cowardly, teary, short, and even burdened with a troublesome chest...

Maybe the only fortunate thing in her life was four years ago when she witnessed a beautiful boy being cornered by a female Spirit Master. She chose to call the police and bravely shouted to let that boy go...

Because of that, she met Xia Feng and thus had her first and only good friend.

Regrettably, as Xia Feng gradually became prominent, a notable figure in the academy and even the entire Zone 51, she knew that sooner or later, she would be alone again...

So she was not content, not content with her mediocrity, not content to be looked down upon, not content to only live out false dreams in a virtual world.

"I couldn't resign myself to parting ways with Xia Feng..."

Thus, she tried her best to catch up with Xia Feng's pace, but unfortunately, reality told her that it was just another unrealistic fantasy.

Perhaps, garbage should remain in the trash can.

The trash can was her destiny after all...

"Bang—"

Accompanied by Mushroom's thoughts, the entire world seemed like a fragile dream and suddenly shattered.

A mysterious message flooded into Mushroom's mind.

"[Spiritual Energy Unlocked—]"

"?!" Mushroom suddenly came to her senses. Had she been in the Spiritual Artifact space just now?

It was Xia Feng using his powers to help her awaken her Spiritual Artifact.

So, recalling yesterday's experience could awaken the Spiritual Artifact? Mushroom felt shocked and puzzled.

Regardless, now was not the time to think about these, she, the future magical girl, even more, the future Mushroom Goddess, had finally awakened her Spiritual Artifact!

She eagerly received the information transmitted to her mind.

"[Spiritual Artifact: Trash Mushroom]"

"[Introduction: Garbage should stay in the trash can. Mushrooms should grow in the shadows.]"

"[Level: N]"

"[Mushroom Transformation: You can transform into any variety of mushrooms, in which state your presence is minimized, and no one will notice you]"

"[Abnormal State: Awakened in an optimized Spiritual Artifact space, possesses {upgradeable} abnormal attribute]"

Mushroom: "..."

Tired, let it end... Mushroom slowly opened her eyes and found herself back in reality. She, feeling lifeless, glanced at Xia Feng and noticed that he was looking at her expectantly.

"How is it, what Spiritual Artifact did you awaken?"

Xia Feng was actually quite surprised as well. Mushroom had awakened too quickly, even faster than he had, and what puzzled Xia Feng even more was that Mushroom didn't seem to defeat any spiritual incarnation, yet she had inexplicably awakened. It was very strange.

Facing Xia Feng's hopeful gaze, Mushroom pursed her lips, her eyes dimmed as she lowered her head, and somewhat ashamedly produced a green mushroom, handing it to Xia Feng to sense.

Indeed, overturning fate and such would never happen to me... Mushroom's heart turned to ashes, she had already prepared herself for Xia Feng's disappointed look.

But to her surprise, Xia Feng didn't look disappointed at all after sensing it, instead he tapped her on the head, "Silly, didn't you see the upgradeable abnormal state?"

In Xia Feng's view, this upgradeable attribute was much rarer than C or B level Spiritual Artifacts.

Moreover, he could help Mushroom with a super optimization.

He currently had three 'Optimization Positions'; he had used one on Cha Naixue and still had two left.

Although Mushroom's Spiritual Artifact was only Level N, it had great potential for future development, especially with his super optimization, which could perhaps produce unexpected powerful effects.

"Come, don't resist. I'll help optimize your Spiritual Artifact."

"Optimize?" Mushroom paused, surprised, "You can help others with optimization?"

Xia Feng placed his hand on Mushroom's belly, somewhat expectantly. The optimization result for Cha Naixue had been very good,

He wondered what new abilities Mushroom would gain after being optimized.
