Chapter 307 Resources
"This is... the Heart Leaf?"
Delphinium could naturally distinguish the appearance of the Heart Gem at different stages of blooming. She had seen Bai Jingxuan's Heart Gem a few days ago, and it was still a Heart Bud at that time. In other words, it had only bloomed again in the past two days.
"It just became like this today."
Bai Jingxuan nodded, which undoubtedly confirmed Cuiqiao's idea: "Although I felt that it was about to bloom a few days ago, I still wanted to wait until I actually did it before telling the teacher."
Her explanation made Xia Liang beside her nod in understanding:
"I see. No wonder you didn't want to go shopping with us this morning when we asked you to. It turned out you were doing a last-minute sprint without telling us."
After figuring out the key point, she smiled with a bit of pity, and rubbed Bai Jingxuan's face with her hands: "You could have told us directly, and it would have been safer for us to take care of you when Kaihua arrived. Why were you so impulsive?"
She was indeed a little surprised by this, but not to the extent of being shocked. Because in fact, Bai Jingxuan became a bud level five months ago. And she herself went from bud level to leaf level even faster than this.
Unfortunately, she was a bit too self-centered in this matter. Little did she know that it would take years for a normal magical girl to accumulate and grow from the beginning of the magical outfit to the leaf level. Those who could rise from the bud level to the leaf level within a year were considered rare geniuses, not to mention that she and Bai Jingxuan had reached the leaf level in five months. If they told others about it, I'm afraid few people would believe it.
Of course, this is certainly due to their outstanding personal talents, but also because they come from the Hanaru Magical Girls, and in the later period, they even receive saturated personal guidance from multiple Hanaru Magical Girls.
When Lin Xiaolu first became a magical girl, Cuiqiao taught the younger generations the techniques for magical girls to increase their total magic power: two methods: "spiritual thinking" and "strength forging". One method can improve the total magic power and soul size in a balanced way, but at a slower speed; the other method can quickly increase the total magic power, but has no improvement on the soul at all.
This way of distinction is relatively objective and accurate. It is completely sufficient for the two younger generations who were only at the species level at that time and still needed a lot of basic skills and common sense to learn.
Most magical girls take half a year or even a year to grow from seed level to bud level, becoming the standard combat power of a magical girl. After that, it takes three to four years to slowly reach leaf level under the protection of the predecessors. If you still have a talent for actual combat at this stage, you can try to defeat more remnant beasts to accumulate capital for yourself to sprint to the bud level. But if you don't have talent and don't like fighting that much, you often learn some basic techniques, and then as a solid leaf-level combat power, contribute five years of security to your city. After a full ten-year term, you can wait to enjoy the rest of your life without worries about food and clothing.
Among these, one resource that will be mentioned repeatedly is the "echo" from the remaining beasts.
The magical girl will give the echo to the sower, who will pass it on to the country, and then the merit will be evaluated and rewards will be obtained. Among these rewards, the most important things are the "Crystal of Love" and the "Honey of the Heart".
The so-called love crystal, as the name suggests, is indeed inextricably linked to the "source of love". The appearance of this item is often an irregular pink crystal, which is the best supplement for the magic girl's magic source. By using the power of the love crystal for her own use, the magic girl can quickly increase her total magic power and even feed back to the soul. However, the power brought by this increase will often be empty for a period of time, and the magic girl needs to practice diligently and adapt to this increase before she can continue to use it.
As for "Honey of Heart", it is another kind of material produced entirely by the garden. It has a significant role in promoting the soul improvement of the magical girl. Although it cannot directly increase the size of the soul, it can make the magical girl's soul improvement effect more effective. The advantage of this material over the crystal of love is that it can be used continuously to maintain this high-speed growth state.
When Delphinium first became a magical girl, her peers would call this process of exchanging echoes for resources to increase strength "hunting" or "taking drugs." But now, without her knowing, the new generation of magical girls have begun to jokingly call this behavior "charging money."
If you want to charge money or take drugs to charge from bud level to leaf level, you need 3 pupa level echoes, and when this requirement changes to leaf level to bud level, you will need 20 pupa level, or 2 half-molt level echoes. This exaggerated exchange ratio determines that it is almost impossible for most magical girls to become stronger by charging money. Unless this magical girl is really good in actual combat ability, she can participate in the encirclement and suppression of the pupa at the bud level, and then fight the pupa alone at the leaf level, otherwise she will not be able to get enough corresponding achievements.
However, there is no doubt that the Fangting City team has unique advantages in this regard.
Delphinium's heart gem has already blossomed to the Flower stage, and whether it can continue to blossom after the Flower stage has been proven "no" in the thousands of years of history of the Magic Kingdom. She can also feel that her abilities have almost reached the limit of what she can control, and there is no way forward.
So, since the Full Moon Festival last year, she had connected with the golden green cat's eye and even the emerald, and made Moko, an unworthy illegal immigrant, a legal sower. After that, she used all the repercussions she had accumulated to feed her younger generations.
With such rapid feeding, close observation by Hanakaru, and training plans that minimize side effects, it is only natural that several juniors improve faster than their peers. Of course, reaching Leaf level in just five months is still an exaggerated result.
As for Aso Yuanxiang, she also contributed a lot to the Baian City team, so the magical girls of Baian City can have quite impressive strength at a relatively young age. Such training is destined to allow those children to grow into practical fighters in the future and become a helper of the country. Those children and Aso Yuanxiang herself know this very well and tacitly.
Whenever she thought of this topic, Delphinium could not help but recall Anya, because even after becoming a karuta, Anya never gave up the idea of continuing to improve her strength. With Lin Yun's support, and even as a result of his curiosity about the end of the magical girl's ability, the couple agreed to Anya's plan to continue to explore the path of magical girls. Lin Yun was responsible for the expenses of the entire family of three. A small part of the remnants Anya obtained from defeating the remnants of the beasts would be exchanged for savings to prepare for emergencies, and the rest would all become love crystals and heart honey.
Anya's own powerful strength, as well as her willingness to constantly go on missions to defeat the remaining beasts and improve herself, has gradually made her the strongest Hana card in the world's mouth. However, even so, her heart gem has never shown any signs of blooming again.
Until his death.
Therefore, since her comeback, Cuiqiao has basically given up the idea of spending money on herself and just focused on investing all her resources in her younger generations.
