Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 537 - 529 "Wish You a Happy Broken Leg

The Magic Beast Tide is erupting once again in various locations, and the place where Su Ang and Xi Pingzhe are situated is the most severe—Qing City.

Due to its geographical environment, Qing City has a relatively smaller population compared to other cities. Normally, only stationed troops reside to guard it, and even if a low-level Magic Beast Tide occurs, it can be intercepted by the army within Qing City and gradually eliminated.

However, this time the eruption of the A-level Magic Beast Tide is too frequent, and these beasts seem to be coveting the plains and cities in the central region intensely. They show no intention of settling in Qing City; instead, they rapidly advance towards the surrounding cities. Once they enter populous cities, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Therefore, the Seven Great Families have dispatched numerous Awakened Warriors to Qing City to clear out the magic beasts.

On the silver hovercar, the Flying Little Wolf is lying beside the car window, with its little wolf hoof pressed against the glass, its naive wolf eyes watching the scenery outside in a daze.

Suddenly, it starts trembling and swiftly burrows into Qian Qi’s arms, seemingly frightened by something, and begins to howl "Awoo Awoo".

At the same time, the hovercar also starts shaking violently.

Qian Qi slams on the brakes and looks outside the window.

In her line of sight, a phantom suddenly appears on the side of the sky, like the sky being torn apart. After a moment of distortion, it suddenly opens up a massive gap.

One by one, towering magic beasts of varying forms step out proudly from within, exuding a strong bloodthirsty aura. Their crimson beast eyes, with a mere glance, are enough to make one shiver in fear and have endless nightmares.

However, in the next second, these beasts step into empty air, falling down like dumplings into hot water, screaming "Awoo Awoo" as they plummet towards the ground.

Qian Qi: ...

This development doesn’t seem to be within her expectations.

She asks the system, "Is this the legendary Space Crack? Could your local magic beasts really be so unlucky to encounter such a thing?"

The system chuckles, [Yes, there is this kind of unlucky probability.]

Qian Qi glances around and finds that most of these beasts are B-level, with a few A-level ones. Even if they fall down, they won’t die from the impact, and the space crack shows no sign of shrinking; instead, the opening is getting larger and larger. If left unchecked, it might indeed increase the workload for the Awakened Warriors.

Recalling the tiredness between Su Ang’s brows, the accelerator under her foot is eager to try, "System, can I enter the instance in reverse through the space crack?"

[Why not try and find out?]

Qian Qi immediately steps on the gas pedal.

The hovercar charges through the group of magic beasts, and with Qian Qi’s efforts, the space crack is finally within reach. Qian Qi steps on the gas pedal once more—

The hovercar, like a soccer ball kicked against a wall, is directly bounced back and flies out.

Qian Qi: ?

"Can’t go in?"

[No, you can’t.]

"Then why didn’t you say so earlier? You let me try!"

[Even if I told you, you might not have believed me anyway (;¬＿¬).]

Qian Qi: ... That’s true.

After all, the damn trust between us had long evaporated.

"Then where is this instance..."

[The time flow of this instance is very fast. By the time you go in and finish off the BOSS, the world might have perished already.]the system kindly reminds her.

The system’s words immediately interrupt Qian Qi’s thoughts on conquering the instance. She gazes deeply at the advanced magic beasts continually falling from the space crack, her fingertip rhythmically tapping on the driving control screen, her brows slightly furrowing.

What should be done then? Just watch these magic beasts rampage through Qing City, bringing immense workload and even life-threatening danger to the busy warriors?

She was still hoping for Su Ang to finish work early and accompany her on her first date in life.

Her gaze sweeps over the mess on the ground, and Qian Qi feels a subtle annoyance creeping in. Just as she decides to leave the hovercar and kill these magic beasts, her peripheral vision suddenly catches sight of a beast.

"Hmm?"

Her eyebrow arches as she rises to look at that beast.

[What’s wrong?]the system follows her gaze.

"That magic beast has Er Ya’s evolution materials on it!" Qian Qi smiles radiantly, just as the system thinks Qian Qi intends to kill the beast to extract the evolution materials, Qian Qi says with a wide grin, "Speaking of Er Ya, I remember Moyu, our little ink crow is famously a Crow’s Beak!"

Qian Qi snaps her fingers, summoning the Little Ink Crow from the Beast Taming Space.

"Hey there!" the little ink crow chirps sarcastically as soon as it flies out, "The Contractor finally remembers they have a Contracted Beast? Having a Contracted Beast but never using it, anyone would think you’re some kind of waste who can’t contract magical beasts~"

Qian Qi coughs lightly, "Isn’t this the time to use you?"

She points outside the window, "It’s up to you! Go curse them, make sure they break their legs upon falling!"

The little ink crow turns its head, observing the fierce and intimidating advanced magic beasts continuously stepping out of the space crack: ...

Its host is really something... Either not using the contracted beast at all, or intending to work it to death over time.

However, after crazy training inside the secret realm, it’s no longer the Moyu it once was. After repeatedly exhausting and replenishing its spiritual power, its Spiritual Power Level has significantly improved. Direct curses for A-level magic beasts to die might be a bit difficult, but cursing them to have diarrhea or break their legs from a fall is entirely at its fingertips—

So the palm-sized little Moyu, flapping its vividly patterned ink-black wings, clasps its wings solemnly in front of itself, silently chanting curses towards the advanced magic beasts outside the window as they descend, "Wish you fall and break a leg~ Wish you fall and break a leg~ Wish you fall and ~ break ~ a ~ leg~"

The melody of the song is inspired by "Happy Birthday".

"Roar—"

Just as the song ends, a miserable cry from a magic beast echoes from the ground. Qian Qi cranes her neck to see an A-level magic beast limping with its supposedly ’broken’ leg, while a few advanced magic beasts are eyeing it viciously, seemingly contemplating whether to kill it and devour its meat and bones.

"It really broke?" Qian Qi is somewhat surprised, given that even though the space crack is far from the ground, it shouldn’t be enough to break the leg of a regal A-level magic beast upon falling.

"Half-broken, not completely," Moyu hops onto her shoulder and explains, "My cursing ability leans more towards what you humans call psychological suggestion. By using spiritual power to send psychological hints, it makes the magic beasts believe they are falling from a great height and will definitely break a leg upon landing. This not only allows the spiritual power to effectively target their legs, causing real physical harm but also due to the psychological effect, it convinces them that their leg is indeed broken, thereby drastically decreasing their combat capability."

"Moreover, the way curses are used and work varies under different circumstances."

Moyu suddenly gives an evil smile, "Contractor, let me show you a new trick I recently learned!"

With that, Moyu jumps onto the driving control screen, fluttering its wings like a shaman for quite a while. Only after catching its breath does it proudly turn around and say, "Look! Outside!"

Qian Qi looks out and is immediately shocked to find that even though Moyu hasn’t uttered any curse words, the magic beasts falling out of the space crack outside are all, without exception, screaming miserably and rising painfully on crippled legs!

"How did you do that?!"

Qian Qi exclaims in astonishment.
