Seeing her so excited and overjoyed, as if she were about to be reborn, Mingxi couldn't help but pour cold water on her enthusiasm, "Let me make it clear beforehand, the failure rate of the Spirit Painting is much higher than the success rate, so..."

Don't harbor the shameful hope that you can succeed on your first try.

Based on her simple and crude understanding of herself.

After success, failure is almost inevitable.

Moreover, this kind of failure cannot be actively avoided.

Therefore, Mingxi only gave a hint, but did not say it explicitly.

cough.

Who doesn't fail?

Experience needs to be accumulated, and experience does not allow her to be selective.

So she gave the choice to Verina.

This isn't being cunning; it's being clever.

With the miracle of Ghost Mansion before her, Verina simply couldn't control herself. Even if Mingxi had made it clear, her answer would have been the same.

"Please don't pity my fragility! Boss! Come at me head-on!"

Mingxi: "..."

She wouldn't even consider it; she had no interest in having a passionate encounter with another woman.

She cleared her throat. "Go lie down."

Mingxi then looked at Guisu and said, "You can leave now."

By the way, after you get back, you can try taking the medications I gave you before, and you can also retest your brain development level. If the recovery goes well, your brain development level should start to increase from today.

Ghost Constellation wiped his nose, his eyes glistening with tears. His excitement and joy were beyond words; his entire body was radiant.

Even Mingxi is starting to believe in Ultraman Tiga.

He nodded eagerly, "Okay! I'll try it when I get back!"

As he spoke, he turned to leave, but before he could even step out of the door, he stopped.

"...Wait, can't I just watch?"

His joys and sorrows, all his ugly moments, were witnessed by that damned woman Verina, and he had to witness them in return.

Moreover, he also wanted to witness the entire process of Mingxi drawing spirits with his own eyes.

Mingxi and Verina exchanged glances. The former shrugged. She wasn't sexist, but Verina was, after all, a girl. Showing her back to others was fine, but what if she screamed, cried, and went mad during the spirit fusion later...?

A girl's charming and elegant image still needs to be maintained.

The latter rolled his eyes, but still said, "Stay if you want!"

She knew that Mingxi was protecting her.

But let's reciprocate.

She's a strong, independent woman, and she's generous.

Not afraid of leaving a dark history!

Moreover, she is a true woman of unyielding spirit, with an exceptional ability to endure pain. She has suffered all kinds of hardships and will certainly not lose her basic humanity like Gui Su.

The two observers had no objections, and Mingxi, being an 'outsider,' naturally had even less objection.

Take out the new Guidao Zhenye (a type of liquid), and begin working.

The rule word she chose for Verina was 【Help】.

It means to help, assist, support, or be an assistant.

If successful, it should be able to meet Verina's various requirements, not ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) only fulfilling her needs to improve her brain development and physical fitness level, but also assisting her in alchemy and medicine making.

Practice makes perfect.

Furthermore, the difficulty of drawing spirits for 【Assist】 is on a completely different level from that of 【Recovery】.

So the first half went very smoothly and successfully.

Then the program moved into its second half.

Now it was Verina's turn to go crazy. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Her madness was also very rhythmic.

Howling and screaming like ghosts.

To throw a tantrum.

Tears streamed down his face.

...

Mingxi and Guisu witnessed firsthand what a large-scale human regression to ancestral ways looks like.

Mingxi felt that Verina must be regretting letting Gui Su stay here to watch her revert to her ancestral ways.

It's such a tragic world.

Even more tragically, after enduring more than two hours of torture, she fainted, and with her unconsciousness, the fusion of the rules and texts completely failed.

Just as Mingxi had predicted.

This method increases the success rate of spirit drawing and reduces the physical requirements of the recipient (the object being drawn), but increases the recipient's endurance requirements.

However, once her physical functions and psychological endurance exceed the threshold, the fusion process will be forced to stop, leading to overall failure.

"How pathetic! Pfft—"

Ghost couldn't help but burst out laughing; his joyful mood had reached its peak.

There's a saying that goes something like this: other people's happiness won't make you happy, but other people's pain will.

So this must be double the happiness.

Verina, who had fainted: "..."

Damn it, that was a miscalculation.

Verina's story successfully provided Mingxi with valuable experience, and also caused Verina herself to become withdrawn for over a month.

In the past month or so, under the incredible and unpredictable actions of the excited Ghostly Constellation, Mingxi has successively taken down five more space pirate groups.

Not to mention the resources they gained, all the members of the Shijin ship were incredibly wealthy, and when they saw Mingxi, they wished they could call her "Dad" every day.

After all, you probably can't find another job like this anywhere else in the world—one that pays well and has little work.

They felt that their lives had been worthwhile.

They would be willing to die right now.

Mingxi also captured many of the hidden members of the Arrival faction.

The speculative data regarding the headquarters of the Advent Organization has become more abundant. She felt that after taking a few more effective targets, she could have Guang Guang's big data calculations and the experience of Gui Su and others summarized.

She will be able to find the headquarters of this mysterious descendant organization!

Of course, she was also well aware that things might not be so simple from now on.

Because news of her massacre of various space pirate groups must have already spread throughout the entire alliance.

So the real battle is only just beginning.

...

The 'Iron Coffin' weapon black market, in a certain star cluster region.

Old K, the weapons dealer with the robotic arm, stared at the intelligence information that had just popped up, his hand, which was maintaining the energy gun, paused for a full ten seconds.

You mean the Bloodsail Legion... is gone?

"That's right."

Across from them, the mechanical child, an information broker, spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"Is it really true?"

"Authentic." The cold child's voice continued, "It's definitely gone. It happened more than a month ago. It's said that the entire Giantwood Royal Court was destroyed, dismantled into parts. Even Commander Baal couldn't find his body."

Old K's brows furrowed deeply: "Do you know who did it?"

He and the Bloodsail Legion were mortal enemies, so he would regularly purchase intelligence about them.

I never expected the Bloodsail Legion to be gone so suddenly.

"Know!"

The mechanical child's voice inexplicably changed pitch, rising several keys.

You would never guess who that person is!

Upon hearing this, Old K's curiosity grew even stronger. Who was this person who made this well-informed intelligence broker act like a chicken whose tail had been stepped on?

"Who is it? It can't be the chairman of the Alliance Beast Taming Center, can it?"

"Hehe, in some ways, she's way more impressive than the chairman!"

"Stop dawdling, just tell me which of the Bloodsail Gang's old rivals did it? Linlu or Jiuzhou? Hurry up! I paid to stay here and not listen to you keep me in suspense!"

The Bloodsail Legion was a long-established force that had been entrenched in the natural fortress of the Misty Forest for over two hundred years. How could it just disappear like that?

"It's Mingxi." The information broker stopped keeping them in suspense.

"???"

"ah?"

"What are you saying?"

"Are you kidding me?!"

Old K wondered if he was dreaming.

The child chuckled coldly: "Don't slander my professional ethics. When have I ever given false information?"

so......

"Is it really Mingxi?!?"

"It's true! It's her!"

"No, I've never heard of the Great Demon King having a grudge against the Bloodsail Legion. How could this big shot wipe out the Bloodsail Legion without warning? Is she that bored?"

"Have you forgotten about that wanted bounty not long ago? Quite a few forces that had nothing to lose accepted the mission. This should be the fuse that Boss Ming exploded."

Mingxi not only wiped out the Bloodsail Gang, but she also conveniently destroyed the Void Cult, the Trident Mercenary Group, the Northern Cloud Corridor, and several other forces!

Old K slowly sat back down in his greasy chair: "...No wonder our black market arms business has been so bad lately, it turns out we got caught in the crossfire of a fit of rage!"

"The world is going to be in chaos. The black market isn't doing any legitimate business. They commit murder, arson, rape, and plunder quite a bit."

And more importantly, I'm giving you this information for free, considering we've been trading together for years and can barely be considered friends.

Mingxi is likely targeting individuals and forces connected to the Descent Organization.

you......

In short, I suggest you just pack your bags and run.

Old K: "..."

"...No way?"

"Hehe, that's all I have to say. Good luck to you."

After I finished speaking, the connection on the other end was cut off.

Old K lit a cigar, his eyes gleaming through the smoke.

Many people within their black market do indeed have connections with the Advent Organization.

According to his understanding, they also specialize in selling goods imported from the Advent Organization.

If Mingxi is indeed eliminating the related forces that have descended upon us...

"It seems..." he suddenly muttered to himself, "it's time to retire from this life!"

...

Kaman Empire Headquarters.

A group of Imperial soldiers in military uniforms sat around a holographic star map.

On the star map, the seven red "X" marks are particularly glaring.

"In one month, six forces, with zero casualties on our side." The white-haired marshal in the main seat tapped the table. "This level of cleanup efficiency has surpassed that of our empire's three main fleets."

"The key is the method!"

Someone pulled up a blurry clip from the battle footage.

In the scene, Mingxi floats alone in the starry sky, with nine pet beasts behind her spread out like an army.

"She didn't use any power; with just a starship, herself, and nine pet beasts, she ventured into various parts of the star field. This level of personal combat power has completely shattered the power balance among beast tamers. She truly deserves the title of the Alliance's number one."

"You're only finding out about this now? She single-handedly destroyed Zetalem, which already proves she's the strongest in the Alliance!"

"So what exactly is she trying to do?"

"Her actions will inevitably provoke a backlash from the major dark forces. Should we recall the Shijin?"

"Isn't this inappropriate? We promised the Longhua Kingdom that the Shijin Ship could not return until it had escorted Lord Mingxi back to Blue Star."

"But she's been operating with the Shijin all along. Anyone with eyes can easily tell that the Shijin is a starship of our Kaman Empire. What if those sharks who get angry think that we're behind it?"

"Moreover... many of those forces actually have business dealings with certain nobles in our empire. With Mingxi's cleanup, many people's sources of income have been cut off."

"Bang!"

The woman sitting to the right of the head of the table was a gaunt old lady who suddenly slammed her hand on the table. Her eyes were sharper than a she-wolf's.

"I don't care what Lady Mingxi is trying to do, or whether this matter will affect those so-called nobles. I only know that her actions are a good thing for the entire interstellar space. With fewer of those evil interstellar trash, the world will be much cleaner!"

In short, I do not agree with calling for a return to the present!

I'm making this clear today! Anyone who dares to call upon Shi Jin behind my back is going against me, Tina Millai! Going against the Millai family!

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Feeling the oppressive pressure, some people's hearts were trembling.

"Well... His Majesty is surely aware of this matter as well. I wonder what His Majesty's attitude is?"

"His Majesty said..." The marshal in the main seat paused, "Unless the Shijin takes the initiative to return, we will not recall it."

Furthermore, our Kaman Empire doesn't need to rely on space pirates to maintain its interests!

...

An unmarked asteroid in a certain interstellar region.

Seventeen holographic projections formed a circle.

Each projection undergoes multiple encryption processes, even distorting the sound, yet the oppressive atmosphere almost overflows through the signal.

"That's the seventh one."

A hoarse voice broke the silence, "If this continues, there will be no place for us in the league."

Another sharp voice asked, "Does she intend to wipe us all out in one fell swoop?"

We absolutely cannot let her succeed!

The third voice was irritable, yet suppressing its irritation: "Let's all hide, okay? She can't keep doing this forever, can she?"

"She really does!"

The fourth projection, from which a figure who had remained silent until now, suddenly spoke. This person's projection made no attempt to disguise themselves, revealing their true appearance directly.

One of the controllers of Shadow Market, codenamed 'White-Faced Scholar'.

Everyone looked at him.

“Based on the intelligence we’ve gathered over this period,” the pale-faced scholar said calmly, “she’s probably provoking some organization and going against the bounty.”

So as long as the bounty isn't removed, she'll keep targeting us!

He paused, then continued, "Or, she took down the organization that issued the bounty!"

To put it bluntly, we're just cannon fodder in her power struggle with that organization!

A deathly silence.

They knew exactly which organization Bai Mian was referring to as "that organization," and if what he said was true, then things were going to get complicated.

There have already been seven precedents.

If that great demon is allowed to continue, they will all be doomed.

As for the demise of 'that organization', that's pure fantasy.

That's simply impossible.

They've existed for so long, longer than even their ancestors' ancestors.

How could Mingxi possibly solve it all by herself?

"So," Bai Mian looked around at everyone, "we only have two choices. First, we sit and wait for her to come, and then get crushed like the Bloodsail Legion."

second......"

He paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Strike first, before she arrives."

The hot-tempered man quickly asked, "How do we decide who strikes first?"

The pale-faced man's voice was deep and resonant: "Concentrate all the forces we can mobilize and set up an inescapable trap!"
