Get off work and become a magical girl

Chapter 169 Dawn Grass
When Xia Liang finished his patrol and returned to the secret base, the sky was almost dark.

A little tired, she put away her heart gem at the door, changed her indoor shoes, walked into the living room, and saw Lin Xiaolu lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone at a glance.

"Is the TV on or not?"

He went straight to the sofa and sat down next to Lin Xiaolu.Xia Liang glanced around the scene in the living room, and pointed to the TV not far away that was still playing animation: "Then I will replace it with something I like to watch?"

"En." Lin Xiaolu stared straight at the screen and replied without raising her head.

Her indifferent response made Xia Liang very surprised, because in the past, if she expressed her intention to steal the TV to Lin Xiaolu, Lin Xiaolu would definitely object strongly.

When two people watch TV together, they can always argue over what program to watch.Xia Liang likes to watch idol dramas, variety shows, and news, while Lin Xiaolu only likes to watch animations and popular science programs. In order to fight for the ownership of the TV, the two have a lot of competition.

But the rare is the rare, and the opportunity to get something for nothing is rare.Since Lin Xiaolu didn't mind, Xia Liang was naturally not too polite, picked up the remote control and changed the channel to a local TV station, just watched the evening news,

A few minutes passed like this. Although Xia Liang was watching the news, subconsciously she was still curious about what Lin Xiaolu was doing.She didn't intend to ask at first, but her curiosity became more and more vigorous, and finally she couldn't hold back anymore. She propped herself up and put her head next to Lin Xiaolu's mobile phone:

"What are you doing?"

Lin Xiaolu squinted at her, then turned her attention to the phone screen: "Game."

"Game? What game?"

When she said that, Xia Liang's interest was immediately aroused: "Are you suddenly enlightened? Why did you start playing games?"

"A game related to magical girls." Lin Xiaolu didn't look up.

"Is it fun?"

"do not know."

"I don't know if you're still so obsessed with playing?"

"……you are annoying."

Lin Xiaolu finally looked at Xia Liang, and tilted the screen in her hand: "Here, this is the game."

"Let me take a look, this interface, turn-based combat? And these characters... a card game?"

Xia Liang looked at Lin Xiaolu with eyes like looking at a stranger: "Why did you start playing with this kind of thing?"

"Just playing."

Lin Xiaolu turned the phone screen back again, and continued to click on it with her thumb: "Anyway, idle is idle, just play casually."

"Did you get anything good?"

"...Just for fun." Lin Xiaolu had a look of indifference on her face.

"Is that so?"

Although it sounded like Lin Xiaolu was answering an irrelevant question, Xia Liang had already understood what the other party meant from this sentence: that is, she didn't get any good things.

It's really not a happy thing if you can't draw good things in the card game, Xia Liang didn't say anything more, but she didn't leave either, but continued to squat beside Lin Xiaolu and watch.

The two played together and watched together. After going on like this for a while, Xia Liang finally realized what was pointing at the screen: "You, why have you been asking someone to borrow this character called Shucao? I don't think she is strong. .”

In the game "Magic Girl Sentai", when a new player encounters a level that cannot be passed, he can apply to borrow a "battle role" from other players to help him clear the level.

In the process of playing, Lin Xiaolu has to borrow a character code-named "Shucao" regardless of the difficulty of the current level, which makes Xia Liang quite puzzled.

"Where is it not strong? Hasn't this been passing the test smoothly?" Lin Xiaolu turned her head dissatisfied.

"But she's not a damage-dealing character at all, she's obviously a support... Do you like this character very much?"

"Not at all."

"Then why don't you ask other players to borrow different support characters?"

"How I want to play is my business, right?"

"Eh--"

He prolonged his voice to express his doubts, Xia Liang continued to watch from the sidelines, recalled it after a while, pointed to the magical girl named "Dawn Grass" on the screen and said: "This pink color, and this It's called the code name of 'Dawn Grass', could it be that this character..."

"you think too much."

I don't know if Xia Liang's words hit her heart, but Lin Xiaolu's expression became a little complicated: "It's just a mobile game."

"But, Shucao is another name for Sakura, right?" Xia Liang continued to ask.

"...I don't know about this kind of thing." Lin Xiaolu muffled.

She vetoed it very simply, Xia Liang couldn't say anything more.The silence between the two lasted for a while, until Lin Xiaolu finished the game level at hand.

Without saying a word, she entered the next level, searched on the interface of "Request for Help", found the character named Shucao, and clicked on it.

[Today's remaining assists: 0]

Such a prompt pops up in the game.

This made Lin Xiaolu's hand froze immediately.

She looked at the screen silently, and after a short while, she suddenly returned to the main menu interface of the game, and then clicked on the option of drawing cards without stopping any longer.

Under Xia Liang's watchful eyes, she used all the rewards for clearing the game level just now to draw cards, just like this again and again, and various characters were continuously drawn from the card pool.

However, until all the rewards were exhausted, among the drawn characters, it seemed that there was no "Dawn Grass" that Lin Xiaolu had been paying attention to.

Lin Xiaolu was silent again, she held the phone slightly with her fingers, as if she was enduring something.Finally, she sat up abruptly and threw the phone aside:
"It's boring, stop playing! Watch TV!"

She snatched the remote control from Xia Liang's hand, and before Xia Liang could react, she pressed the remote control with a "snap" and switched back to the animation channel.

"What, I haven't finished reading the news yet, switch back quickly!" Xia Liang protested.

"You're not watching anyway." Lin Xiaolu said confidently.

"Obviously you didn't read it first!"

"Now I'm going to watch it!"

"You don't play games anymore?" Xia Liang raised her eyebrows.

"Stop playing!" Lin Xiaolu said firmly.

"Isn't there still a desired role that hasn't been obtained?"

"It's just virtual data, if you don't have it, you don't have it!" Lin Xiaolu stared at the TV, slightly raising her chin.

"However, I clearly saw that the interface of this card pool read [12 draws left to summon designated magical girls]."

Xia Liang picked up Lin Xiaolu's cell phone from the sofa cushion beside her, and pointed to a line of small words on the screen: "Look."

Lin Xiaolu's originally firm expression suddenly wavered a little. She really wanted to put on an appearance of concentrating on the TV, but the constant glances to the side completely betrayed her.After realizing this, she finally gave up her disguise, stretched out her hand wordlessly, and took the phone Xia Liang was holding with some resignation.

She looked up the screen and found that there was indeed a line of words that Xia Liang said on the screen.She clicked on the list behind that line of words again, and soon found the "Dawn Grass" she had been thinking of, and the light in her eyes suddenly flashed again.

"There are still 12 draws, and there are still 12 draws..."

She began to think hard: "However, how can I make up the 12 draws?"

She basically got all the clearance rewards for the previous game levels, but the difficulty of the subsequent levels is getting higher and higher, and she must not be able to get involved without the help of "assistant roles".

As for a card-drawing game, if you want to obtain card-drawing resources outside of the rewards section, there seems to be only one way.

"Isn't it enough to recharge the money?" Xia Liang tilted her head.

"No, I know you can charge money, but spending money on this kind of thing seems..."

Lin Xiaolu struggled a bit and said, "Isn't this just like playing with things and losing one's mind?"

"Indeed, I often see news reports about the dangers of indulging in games."

Xia Liang nodded again: "So? Why don't you stop playing?"

"this and that……"

Lin Xiaolu stared at the card drawing interface in the game and hesitated for a long time, unable to make up her mind. Her rationality told herself that she shouldn't spend money on it, but her sensibility kept urging her to click on it.

There was a fierce ideological struggle in her mind, her eyes staring at the screen became more and more empty, a thin layer of cold sweat leaked from her forehead, her mouth was pursed, and vortices gradually appeared in her dark eyes.

So, 3 minutes later.

Lin Xiaolu chooses the payment option on the store interface.

After careful calculation, she found that as long as she chose the option of 68 yuan, she could meet her 12-draw requirement. Therefore, for the first time in her life, Lin Xiaolu chose to pay in the game.

She first repeatedly confirmed the option button on the phone screen, read the payment instructions, and ensured that she can indeed meet the "first discount" regulations by recharging now, then finally nodded, stretched out her hand, and pressed her finger on the on the fingerprint key.

Then, she suddenly heard a scream from the TV.

Subconsciously looked up to see what happened in the animation, but found that it was just the protagonist in the TV smashing an object.Disappointed, Lin Xiaolu lowered her head again and saw the words "Payment Completed" pop up on the screen.

It was the first time in her life to spend money in a game. This kind of behavior made Lin Xiaolu feel a little guilty, but besides the guilt, there was also a bit of undue excitement.With this complicated mood, she returned to the card drawing interface, wanting to make up for the remaining 12 draws to exchange for the character she wanted.But when he tapped the card draw button, he suddenly found that the number of draw cards seemed to be a bit wrong.

If she remembers correctly, the resources she bought with money should be around 15 pumps, but why, now she has 150 pumps?
Looking at the numbers displayed on the screen of the mobile phone, Lin Xiaolu was a little dazed for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

Xia Liang at the side noticed Lin Xiaolu's expression that seemed to be a little bit wrong, so she leaned over again, and when she saw the numbers on the screen clearly, she couldn't help but cover her mouth: "How much did you charge?"

"It should be 68 yuan... right?"

Lin Xiaolu was a little unsure, and turned back to the store interface in the game. Looking at the previous recharge options, she found that the "first discount" sign for the 68 yuan option was still bright.On the contrary, the 648 yuan option no longer has the "first discount" sign, and the abrupt and empty button seems to indicate something.

Looking at her mobile phone screen, Lin Xiaolu once again fell into a long silence.

She seems to have pressed the wrong button.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Xia Liang couldn't help asking: "Did your father give you pocket money?"

"No...how should I put it..."

Lin Xiaolu gradually recovered from her dazed state, and said, "If I remember correctly, it seems that Delphinium gave it to me a few days ago."

"What?"

"Let me buy teaching aids... She said she didn't have time to buy it, so she gave me the name of the book and asked me to buy it myself, and she would pay for it."

Lin Xiaolu's voice became smaller and smaller: "I haven't had time to buy these days."

"Buy teaching aids?"

Xia Liang was a little puzzled: "Why haven't I heard of this?"

"You were joking, right? But Delphinium should have transferred this part of the money to you."

Lin Xiaolu was a little strange: "Didn't you find that there was an extra sum of money in your personal account?"

"The extra money in my personal account..."

Xia Liang Xia Liang nodded her lower lip with a thoughtful expression on her face.After a while, as if he suddenly remembered something, he clapped his hands together suddenly: "Ah, I said why I feel that I have spent too much money recently, but the balance is not less at all!"

"You spent it too?"

"perhaps?"

Xia Liang smiled dryly: "I just had my hair done a few days ago. Thinking about it this way, I should have spent the money given by the junior, right?"

The more she talked, the more uncertain she felt. In the end, she and Lin Xiaolu remained silent.

In the living room, there was only the sound of animation on the TV.

However, the room leak happened to be raining all night, just when the two of them didn't know what to do for a moment, the sound of closing the door came from the entrance not far away.The two quickly ran to the back of the living room wall, peeked out their heads to look at the entrance, and saw Delphinium leading Bai Jingxuan coming in from the door.

Delphinium walked in front, Bai Jingxuan followed, the two of them talked all the way to the living room, Delphinium looked into it, and saw Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang were both sitting upright on the sofa, as if they were seriously watching TV .

There seemed to be no problem with this scene, but Delphinium always felt that there was something wrong: Usually, the two of them were lying or leaning, completely tired and lazy, why did they suddenly become so cute today?
"I am back."

Without thinking about it, she waved to the girls in the living room: "How is the patrol today?"

"Nothing!"

As the delphinium spoke, the ponytail on the back of Lin Xiaolu's head twitched, and she stammered: "Everything is normal, there are no beasts, and there are no dangerous incidents!"

"In this way, it's good that there is no problem. And the voice doesn't have to be so loud."

Delphinium nodded expressionlessly, and turned her gaze to Xia Liang: "Where is Xiao Jin, what's the matter?"

"Ah, no, no." Xia Liang also looked away with some guilt for no reason, "I want to report to you, the last time a beast appeared in Xizhao District was last week, and it has been very peaceful this week."

"Why use honorifics?"

The strange performance of the two made Delphinium more confused, but he couldn't think of anything that could happen, so he didn't ask further: "Okay, thank you, I'll go to the kitchen to prepare dinner first, you guys continue to rest."

The two girls in the living room could only answer "yes" dully.Bai Jingxuan shouted "I'll help" and ran to the kitchen with the delphinium.

After the delphinium left, the two people in the living room looked at each other, and seemed to have something to say, but neither of them spoke first.When Lin Xiaolu contemplated for a long time and finally decided to say something, Delphinium suddenly came out of the kitchen again.

—— "Oh, by the way, tonight is a tutoring day, you should remember?"

While putting on the sleeves on her hands, she urged: "I should have asked you to prepare the teaching aids last time. If you have time, you can preview them first."

"The final exam of the second grade is coming soon, and your recent grades are actually not very stable, so I drew a range for you before, and you should look at it according to these ranges."

"It's okay if you don't want to preview, but I may ask a little more questions to make sure you can master... eh? What's wrong? Why do you look so bad? Are you too tired? And why are you standing up suddenly? Why do you rely on this close?"

— "Sorry, Delphinium!"

"Sorry! Junior!"

Delphinium didn't think much at first, but before she finished speaking, she saw Lin Xiaolu and Xia Liang suddenly stand up from the sofa and trot towards her.Then they lowered their heads in unison, and said the above words in unison.

Seeing her daughter who admitted her mistake in front of her, Delphinium couldn't react for a while.She blinked, and after a while, she spoke in a daze:
"……what?"
