Nan Zhiyi learned quite quickly, already reaching the level of using Levitation Technique to make objects flying toward her weightless, as well as healing general injuries and stemming fatal wounds.
She and Hibiscus shared the same philosophy—prioritize survival skills in the skill tree. Stay alive to maintain output.
One hour later.
When Hibiscus once again threw an eraser simulating bullet fire, it passed through the Levitation Technique and hit Nan Zhiyi square in the forehead. After a dull thud, the girl fell straight down. Hibiscus rushed forward in alarm only to find the girl sound asleep.
Continuously activating magic then experimenting with techniques—only a newly awakened magical girl's excess energy let her endure this long before finally giving out.
As host, she naturally had to fulfill hospitality duties caring for her guest. Seeing this, Hibiscus lifted the girl—fragrant breeze, delicate and boneless, light build. Relatively modest figure, probably due to lifelong frailty and poor nutrition, but becoming a magical girl basically meant goodbye to aging, sickness and death. Great potential ahead. Hibiscus placed the girl on her own bed and tucked her in.
Nan Zhiyi remained completely unaware throughout, obviously sleeping deeply, occasionally showing silly smiles proving sweet dreams.
After leaving the room, Hibiscus stretched and felt slightly tired herself.
Teaching people really wasn't easy.
After repeated demonstrations, her own magic power was mostly depleted, with aches returning. Unfortunately the guest room was used for storage and the master bedroom only had one wide single bed. She'd have to sleep on the sofa tonight. No, no need to sleep—she felt quite energetic now.
Magic consumption aside, her physical strength was abundant. This miraculous phenomenon proved her Origin had strengthened somewhat—undoubtedly benefiting from power resonance between magical girls.
Hibiscus glanced at her attribute panel—indeed minimal growth. She really should consider finding more of her kind to gather together for mutual benefit.
She admitted being stirred to ambition by Nan Zhiyi's indignation, but hadn't she had it before?
Beep!
The system alert interrupted the girl's thoughts as an Origin Advancement Stone Fragment appeared in hand, plus affection activation. You activate what you activate—why no data? Just one sentence and done? The system seemed to say "affection can't be quantified with data," so what do you display? Simply wasting a reward opportunity.
Hibiscus felt that chatting with netizens had made her good at complaining too.
Could she activate Jin Ruochu's affection in the future?
If she could build good relations with the protagonist, naturally fortunate person, strongest causal user and reverse the future life-and-death plot early, she should worry less. Regardless of her specific thoughts, she'd already started gathering talent. The urgent priority was learning more about Nan Zhiyi's magic development—naturally requiring help from omnipotent netizens:
"Continuing from before, Nan Zhiyi whom I rescued came to thank me and accidentally triggered Small Universe domain. How should this magic be enhanced going forward?"
As soon as Hibiscus posted this, comments refreshed rapidly, making her highly suspect certain people were intensely following the topic thread.
【Worthy of you, seducing another one】
【What "continuing from before"—you've been cultivating feelings for eighteen years. Do you understand childhood friend value?】
【Magical girl Dandelion, grand entrance】
Besides the usual spectators and troublemakers, Hibiscus witnessed considerable magic-related information that indeed matched Small Universe, plus various so-called power expansion enhancements absolutely worthy of strongest magic status.
Nan Zhiyi was naturally intelligent with strong magical girl adaptability. Now with a healthy body plus guidance from various sideline coaches, she should improve faster than in the original work.
【Got video? Quick, want to see how OP performs this time】
【Won't lie, just here waiting for special effects. But don't rush too much—who can be so productive updating high-quality videos every few days】
【Long heard of your hardcore technical style, came seeking fame】
Hibiscus was glad she'd habitually activated the system photography function, treating it as full-angle vision during combat over time. Another benefit was convenient post-battle review, like providing compensation for netizens.
She skillfully edited the footage, deleting complex dialogue and keeping only Small Universe magic.
Admittedly, from the camera's third-person perspective, Nan Zhiyi's power was maxed out with extreme visual impact, especially using will to control celestial bodies as weapons. The vast starry background didn't lose color due to full domain closure and miniature stars—instead adding dreamlike beauty.
【Perfect special effects again】
【Technology aside, as film industry worker I more admire OP's understanding of these fantastical concepts. Even with original work foundation, it's not easy】
【This completely counts as your work now—sublimated】
Hibiscus felt awkward and replied: "I only do editing work—insignificant."
This clarification made things worse as everyone was shocked that team operations were just for one topic thread. Though expected, such labor of love was truly moving. Now she'd made things worse, the girl thought. But resource investment at least convinced everyone each question was serious—the great magical girl Hyacinth was indeed playing her character's life simulator.
【Quiet down everyone. OP truly needs domain magic materials. In that case, I'll post the setting collection. Attached.jpg】
【New worldline magic might show different effects from the original work. Using it rashly as combat intelligence might backfire】
【Don't worry, time's greatest advantage is error tolerance】
【But be careful with domain closure usage. Reminding a certain increasingly scummy Hyacinth—according to Nan Zhiyi's original words "This move is so you can never leave my side," what are your thoughts?】
【Even the Time Priest couldn't escape instant projection domain covering the whole world then immediate closure into a cage—nearly got locked up for intense bonding】
【Wheelchair girl: In this vast universe, only you and I are enough】
【Now that you mention it, I remember this scene once exploded with fan creations, practically washing the topic circles】
【Hyacinth was too rigid. If it were me, should've listened to Dandelion's advice and not dueled with Manjusaka who had first-tier mechanisms and full preparation】
Nan Zhiyi said such things?
Hibiscus glanced at the soundly sleeping girl in the room—peaceful expression, steady temperament. Though she'd shown some fanaticism earlier discussing how Hibiscus eliminated Disaster Beasts without recognition, she was generally the quiet type.
Her gaze softened as she sighed. The original storyline's disability and family destruction made Nan Zhiyi increasingly dark—understandable, since a person's behavior couldn't be separated from their backstory.
But this time tragedy was avoided. The academic girl still had enviable talent plus a complete family. Change had already begun.
【@Hyacinth, since you're so interested in magic, why not start a long-term main simulation line? Fighting Disaster Beasts requires gathering powerful forces—quality over quantity, magic most effective. Why not collect all strongest magic users of each type... find a relic called Prophecy Book to divine their locations】
【Don't get too crazy above. Prophecy Book has cognitive viruses—can't spoil too much for Hyacinth or it'll trigger knowledge poison】
