Girl, There's Something Wrong With You - Chapter 49

Changxing Island is indeed full of strange creatures. However, compared to the puppets, these creatures are much more intelligent in combat.

When they see humans, they don’t swarm and attack immediately. Instead, they close in to test, flank, ambush, and even backstab. Therefore, you can’t mow them down en masse like the puppets.

However, the girls are still handling them with ease. Any strange creature that enters the attack range is immediately hung upside down by Cheng Jinyang’s Weaving Net algorithm, allowing Chu Qingqing to kill it with a spear. At this rate, they can kill about 60 per minute.

At this efficiency, their leveling speed over six hours would be around 1,000 Ma, similar to the efficiency of mowing down puppets.

“I feel like there’s something wrong with our strategy,” Cheng Jinyang pondered.

“It’s not a feeling; there is a problem!” Miss Qingqing said angrily. “Look at them! After I killed a few, they don’t dare to come over anymore! They’re not as cute as the puppets!”

She manipulated the metal, suddenly extending it rapidly to stab into the distance. The strange creatures hiding behind the buildings immediately scattered like frightened birds.

“If Ye Ru didn’t lie to us, then the density of these strange creatures on this island should provide a higher bloodline concentration compared to the puppets in Songjiang,” Xing Yuanzhi mused. “The problem lies in our combat method.”

“Exactly,” Yang Wangshu typed. “No matter how many creatures are lured over, Sister Qingqing can kill them in an instant. So, the answer is obvious: the speed at which a certain scumbag is luring them is too slow!”

Cheng Jinyang crossed his arms and nodded: “Indeed, unlike the puppets, waiting for these creatures to enter the attack range is too slow. I propose using a certain foul-mouthed little girl as bait to lure the creatures in groups, to speed up the process.”

“Or we could try splitting up?” Li Qingwan suggested.

“Splitting up won’t work either,” Cui Jinqi interjected. “If we’re too far apart, the blood energy from killing the monsters here won’t be absorbed over there. What’s the point?”

“It seems this is the only way,” Wang Wanrou, who had been deep in thought, suddenly said.

“What way?” Cheng Jinyang asked.

“Come here,” Wang Wanrou beckoned. “I’ll give you the key to the Iron Giant.”

Cheng Jinyang: ?

He walked over to her and saw her give a gentle smile, softly saying: “Jinyang, make sure to live on.”

Of course, I will! I’m not a severely depressed patient like before. I will definitely strive to live on!

Thinking this, Cheng Jinyang felt his heart suddenly swell, pounding violently as if it were about to burst from his chest.

A sense of imminent death gripped his heart tightly, and a desperate urge for survival surged in his mind, contorting his expression into a snarl.

“This is…” Before the girls could react, they saw a large amount of metal surge toward them, enveloping everyone and rapidly lifting them into the air.

The Iron Giant reappeared!

This time, it was only about 15 meters tall since it didn’t need to fight a warship.

Wait, where’s my Xiao Li?

Pilot Cheng Jinyang quickly noticed that the power output seemed a bit low. Where did my Lili battery go?

“Don’t get distracted!” Wang Wanrou’s stern voice echoed in his mind. “Focus on what we need to do now!”

What to do… of course, kill monsters and level up. Cheng Jinyang immediately refocused, pushing aside the sad question of why Su Lili wasn’t there.

Inside this Iron Giant, there were seven consciousnesses, including his own, with a combined bloodline concentration of about sixth grade.

Cheng Jinyang manipulated the gravity to quickly ascend into the air. Yang Wangshu used electromagnetic waves to detect and lock onto the coordinates of the strange creatures below.

Countless needles formed around the Iron Giant, each about half a meter long, thin and sharp. Guided by the electromagnetic lock and driven by gravity, they rained down rapidly.

The creatures on the ground barely had time to react before their heads were pierced by the needles and nailed to the ground.

This wave of “needle rain” killed over a thousand strange creatures. Cheng Jinyang quickly maneuvered the Iron Giant to hover at low altitude, absorbing all the blood energy released from the corpses.

“Keep going, keep going!” The girls urged excitedly. They finally realized that a single wave of needle rain, taking just about ten seconds, provided them with nearly 50 Ma of blood energy!

……………

The next morning.

Cheng Jinyang slowly awoke, and as he got up, he noticed that the girls around him had all opened their eyes.

“Hurry, hurry!” Miss Qingqing leapt up from the bed like a carp flipping out of water and rushed to Xing Yuanzhi’s bedside. “Yuanzhi! The bloodline detector!”

Xing Yuanzhi yawned sleepily, her hair cascading down like a waterfall and falling inside the collar of her pajamas. She scratched her head, opened the drawer of the bedside table, and took out the bloodline detector.

Miss Qingqing eagerly took it, pressed it against her neck, and checked it.

“Over ten thousand Ma!” she announced solemnly.

The girls looked at each other, and Cui Jinqi tentatively raised her hands and started clapping.

So everyone else followed suit and clapped along.

Clap, clap, clap.

Clap, clap, clap.

A few maids carrying laundry baskets walked by outside, chatting and laughing, when they suddenly heard the strange “pa, pa, pa” sounds coming from the clan leader’s bedroom.

“What’s that noise?” One of the new maids wanted to go check it out, but the more experienced maid hurriedly pulled her back and sternly said:

“Mind your own business about the clan leader’s affairs! What if you disturb an important moment, can you bear the consequences?”

An important moment… The new maid blushed and quickly lowered her head, retreating hurriedly.

Inside the room, everyone was abuzz with excitement and chatter.

Based on the bloodline value, they estimated that they had killed about 200,000 monsters on Changxing Island the previous night.

Initially, they maintained a super-efficient rate of killing 1,000 monsters in one wave, but as they continued, the monsters on the island finally sensed something was wrong and started hiding, which greatly reduced their efficiency.

Even so, the rate of over ten thousand Ma in one night was already ten times faster than killing wondering puppets. Cui Xiaoniang, Xiao Wangshu, and Teacher Li simultaneously reached the seventh grade in one go, and they would be at the sixth grade in a week’s time.

With a bit more effort, they could reach the fifth grade in three months. The aristocratic status of the Shendu Cheng family would be secured, and the clan leader of the Hejian Xing family could abdicate and make way for the younger generation. Xiao Wangshu and Qingqing could return to their families, likely scaring their parents half to death—reaching the fifth grade before turning twenty, what kind of concept was that?

Please inform the clan leaders’ designated successors from the Hongnong Yang and Yangdi Chu families, then they could start preparing for the transition!

While they were all filled with joy, Wang Wanrou remained expressionless. Cui Xiaoniang leaned over to Li Qingwan and smiled:

“Qingwan, what do you think your family will say when they find out you’ve reached the seventh grade?”

“My dad… will probably go crazy.” Li Qingwan replied with a smile.
