34: Magical Girl?!

After learning about two of the three items, Xiang Yan began to focus his attention on the remaining piece of intelligence.

The first thing he read was the detailed description of Nelson's current status. By browsing this document, he gained a rough understanding of Nelson's situation.

Although Nelson had suffered a lot because of him before, he was now enjoying the rewards of his hard work, having ascended to heaven in a single step. Even if this giant leap caused a groin strain, Xiang Yan believed that in the Face of his astonishing wisdom, it was merely a minor affliction that would surely be overcome.

According to the description in the document, Nelson had become a Land God presiding over twenty billion square kilometers of surrounding territory.

Most importantly, this guy wasn't a loser like the Earth God in *Journey to the West*, but a Land God who truly held great authority over his domain, daring to declare, "My territory, I rule."

Of course, even though Nelson held great power and could decide most matters, he still had superiors above him. Fortunately, there weren't many—only 1.5, to be precise.

As for the '1', there was no need to elaborate; those who knew, knew.

The remaining '0.5' was the World Proxy.

Here, Nelson also mentioned that according to the principle of "A higher rank crushes people, but if I'm unhappy with your rank, I ignore you," the only superior Nelson truly needed to obey was the world will.

As for the Proxy, if Nelson gave him Face, he was a superior; if Nelson didn't give him Face, sorry, but the Proxy's reach wasn't long enough to extend here.

He specifically emphasized one point: there were others like him who could disregard the Proxy. As for how many, there wasn't enough time to investigate thoroughly.

Seeing this situation, Xiang Yan felt that being a Proxy was rather frustrating.

After all, using a company as an example, this situation was like a Grunt at the very bottom, struggling desperately, scheming, fighting, enduring Eighty-One Tribulations, and finally achieving Karma Perfection to become the company's second-in-command.

Only then does he discover that every single third-in-command in the damned company is a relative of the company Chairman. No one can manage them. If he dared to lay a hand on any of these third-in-commands, the Chairman would definitely deal with him, the second-in-command, first, rather than his own relatives.

As for why two mutually hostile world wills, who previously had nothing to do with each other, became so close after coexisting in one place?

Nonsense! When interests are completely intertwined, who else would they help but their own brother (or sibling)?

After Xiang Yan finished reading about Nelson's situation, he began browsing the basic information about this world.

According to the data, the name of this world was the "Ma Hou Shao Jiu World."

???

Upon seeing this name, Xiang Yan paused.

That's not right.

Why does this name give me such a strong sense of déjà vu? It feels like I've heard it somewhere before.

Xiang Yan shook his head, choosing not to dwell on the question that arose in his heart, and continued reading.

The power system and faction division of this world were quite interesting, being a standard binary opposition between Good and Evil.

What was stranger still was that the Transcendents on the side of Good were all female, while the Evil side was predominantly male.

The appellations for Transcendents on both sides were also vastly different: male Transcendents were usually called Monsters; while female Transcendents were respectfully referred to as "Ma Hou Shao Jiu." This name... the feeling that he had definitely heard it somewhere but just couldn't recall, grew in his heart.

After thinking for a while and failing to remember, Xiang Yan could only patiently continue reading.

In this binary opposing system, the faction of Good remained a single entity from beginning to end. Even if ideological differences arose, they would seek common ground while reserving differences to the greatest extent, and generally adhere to the overall plan.

Even if the differences became irreconcilable, these members of the Good faction would not attempt to establish a second Good force, thus avoiding internal competition within the side of Good.

Instead, they would run over to the Evil faction and increase the difficulty of their internal competition.

And this unified force was named Sacred Hall Heaven.

As for the Evil faction, it was riddled with independent forces, with new powers constantly emerging, coupled with occasional defectors from the Good side, making the already chaotic situation even more disordered.

Ideological differences were constant, and the way they handled them was entirely: 'My belief is correct, yours are all wrong, so you should all go confess to Satan.'

The introduction to the world's situation ended here. Below were two videos that Nelson had specifically collected for him regarding the Transcendents of both sides before falling into slumber.

Click, Play!

On the side of the male Transcendents, well, they truly deserved the name Monsters. The appearance of most male Transcendents after using their transcendent power was indeed too avant-garde for human aesthetics.

Alright, skip that. Watching the video alone wouldn't reveal much anyway. Let's look at the female side.

The scene shifted: a group of beautiful young girls appeared, chanting embarrassing Incantations. Holy Light enveloped their bodies, completing their transformation. Dressed in magnificent battle suits, most wielded Short Wands, while a few held other items. They spoke extremely eye-catching lines, struck poses bursting with shamefulness, and beat their opponents until they ran away pissing themselves... Silence, endless silence.

Ma Hou Shao Jiu?

Mahou Shoujo?

Ma Hou Shao Jiu <======> Mahou Shoujo

F*ck!

I knew why the sense of déjà vu was so strong! I knew why this thing sounded so familiar! I knew I had heard it somewhere before!

Isn't this fucking Magical Girl?!

Wasn't this the homophonic pun created by a group of Silly Netizens in his previous life?

Thinking about it, I feel so stupid! I didn't even realize something so simple.

After a moment of mental exhaustion.

Suddenly!

Xiang Yan realized something!

He turned back and watched both videos again.

Ugly, varied Monsters; all-female Magical Girls, whose overall score for appearance, figure, and image was 100 points, with most scoring above 80.

Xiang Yan took a deep breath.

Not enough!

Take another deep breath.

No!

I need one more.

Done!

"I want lewdness!" (Voice cracking)

His opened mind, like a runaway wild horse, galloped uncontrollably through Xiang Yan's brain.

Over a dozen anime plots, such as *Magical Girl Isuka*, *Magical Girl Noble Rose THE ANIMATION 2*, *Mahou Shoujo wa Kiss Shite Henshin*, and *Magical Girl Elena*, flooded his mind.

As well as various novel contents about Magical Girls from a certain novel website starting with 'banzhu', which completely dominated his brain.

Fortunately, being a Cult Leader for so many years wasn't for nothing. Soon, Xiang Yan relied on his astonishing willpower to forcibly restrain himself and continue reading the data.

However, his disobedient eyes kept glancing toward the looping Magical Girl video, which left Xiang Yan feeling helpless.

He could only comfort his 'Brother Eyes', promising that once he understood the basic situation of this world, he would go find a Magical Girl.

And let Brother Eyes watch the Magical Girls' Defeat CGs until he was satisfied.

Fortunately, there wasn't much data left. The general content stated that although this area was still barren land, under the guidance of the world will, people would slowly come to carry out Major Infrastructure projects, transforming it into a city suitable for survival.

The ID Card Nelson prepared for Xiang Yan was intended for use after this place became prosperous and populous, creating a reasonable explanation for Xiang Yan's appearance.

After Xiang Yan finished reading all the data, he immediately went to a certain location on the edge of Nelson's jurisdiction to wait for the arrival of humans.

If asked why he was sure that humans would definitely arrive at any random spot he chose, he could only say it was the choice of the world will (Nelson had given prior notice).

Three years passed in the blink of an eye for Xiang Yan.

During these three years, adhering to the principle of "no action, no mistakes," Xiang Yan buried himself in the dirt and acted as a corpse for three years.

Finally, one day, Xiang Yan sensed the arrival of a small group of about 20 people. Judging by their appearance, they seemed to be a group of Outdoor Enthusiasts.

Under Xiang Yan's observation, they encountered a pit in the road—something they could easily have walked around by taking just two or three extra steps.

Yet, these guys insisted on jumping over it. After most of them had successfully jumped, one genius among the few remaining behind performed a classic 'left foot trips right foot' maneuver and rolled straight into the pit.

Others tried to rescue him, and another genius emerged. He lost his footing beside the pit, was about to fall, reached out to grab someone nearby, and then dragged the entire group into the pit with him.

Then, these guys discovered a Gold Mine inside the pit, and the gears of destiny began to turn on this land.

The news spread rapidly like a virus. Large numbers of Prospectors, Merchants, Scientists, Developers, and people of various other professions swarmed in, like locusts crossing the border, eager to dig three feet deep.

In the following months, unlucky yet lucky individuals kept appearing. Through a series of unreasonable yet highly reasonable accidents, various rare resources were continuously discovered.

The resource boom triggered a frenzy of wealth. People chasing money continuously flocked to this place, ensuring that prosperity descended upon the land irresistibly.
