Witch Special

"The world here doesn't make people feel comfortable, meow, Maki." Yanyan's voice came from the pendant hanging on Lin Maki's chest.

Upon arriving in a new world, Yanyan wouldn't reveal herself until she had fully grasped its perspective. Even without being able to fly or talk, the mere sight of a pure black cat running around on the street was already considered unusual. Until she understood the intricacies of this world, Yanyan would remain hidden within her pendant, observing the outside world through the gemstone embedded within.

Although it is not possible to change the perspective as freely as when revealing, the line of sight has a very wide field of view after being refracted by the gem. Coupled with the magnification of the gem lens, Yanyan can act as an excellent wingman even in the pendant and discover some details in the field of vision that Lin Zhenxi has overlooked.

It’s just that Yanyan, the cat, doesn’t like staying in there.

Lin Zhenxi could see the city's brilliance and decay, and Yanyan certainly couldn't help but see it. In their stark contrast to the city, the man and the cat had surprisingly similar feelings.

"Don't you like it here either? Yanyan." Lin Zhenxi touched the pendant on her chest.

"Hurry up and finish it and go back, meow."

"Well... I'd like to, but it's probably not that easy." Lin Zhenxi smiled bitterly. Princess Bai's emergency commission was a big trap.

Standing still was pointless. Lin Zhenxi fished out a wide-brimmed sunhat from the independent space module and put it on her head. Only then did she feel the sunlight above her head was not so strong. Next, she planned to find the Hero Association in this city and decided to explore there first.

After all, heroes and monsters are cultural hallmarks of this world. Lin Zhenxi couldn't come into contact with monsters, and certainly didn't want to, but a hero whose duty was to protect humanity shouldn't be in any danger, right? She'd go check it out first, and maybe find a way to break free in this world.

Moreover, there is a more real reason for going to the Hero Association——

Lin Zhenxi wanted to see how to make money.

Language and writing could be quickly mastered by searching one's memory, and cultural common sense could be understood through reading, but money... Lin Zhenxi couldn't bring herself to rob the natives. It wasn't that she didn't want to, but she couldn't. Such behavior crossed the moral line, and once started, there was no turning back. It would only lead to a downward spiral into depravity, eventually becoming like her colleagues who treated their lives as worthless.

If Lin Zhenxi wanted to integrate into this world, she first needed to resolve the issue of her identity. The independent space module contained a large amount of food and even a fully furnished magic tent, but that only solved Lin Zhenxi's survival problem—the most basic need to "stay alive." This was far from her goal of using the natives of this world to help her find the time traveler.

This gap can only be filled with resources.

Identity is a resource, ability is a resource, connections are a resource, and wealth is the simplest, clearest and easiest resource to obtain.

This world's cultural characteristics are eccentrics and heroes. If you can make money in this area, it's like climbing up the ladder of the world's most powerful group. From then on, whatever Lin Zhenxi wants to do will be much easier.

However, the most urgent task now is actually to understand the language and text. Although this is not difficult, it still needs to be done.

Compared to a bookstore, finding a homeless person to read his memory directly was clearly a more convenient option. Lin Zhenxi believed that in a city like this, with its glitz and glamour, its underbelly was rotten, there must be a lot of homeless people. They might not appear directly on the bright streets, but under bridges, at the end of alleys, in less-seen places, there must be room for these city rats to thrive.

However, in many cases, the absurd reality will make all the plans prepared in advance come to nothing.

Just as Lin Zhenxi was contemplating how to thrive in this alien world, whose culture, though similar to Earth's, was also distinctly different, her vision suddenly darkened. Lin Zhenxi looked up and saw an enormous foot suddenly descending from above her head.

What the hell is this!?

Lin Zhenxi didn't have time to react at all. The huge foot came down and crushed all the buildings under his feet like stepping on biscuits. Then he continued to sink several meters into the ground, forming a spectacular, deep pit in the shape of the sole of the foot.

Fortunately, the big foot was not stepping towards Lin Zhenxi directly, but was a street away from her. This was undoubtedly the greatest luck, because it allowed Lin Zhenxi to witness the appearance of the deep pit after the big foot left.

After Bigfoot left and the dust settled, a huge pit spanning the entire block, covering an area as large as a park and with a very flat bottom, suddenly appeared in the center of this bustling modern city.

The owner of the big foot continued to move forward. Lin Zhenxi tried very hard to look up, but could only barely see a calf like a pillar of heaven connected to an even thicker thigh above. The part above it had already penetrated the clouds and could not be directly seen.

This height must be over a thousand meters. What a joke! How can a person grow so tall?

Newly arrived, Lin Zhenxi was still struggling to come to terms with the absurd reality of this world. Meanwhile, the ordinary citizens around her, already plagued by monsters, began fleeing the streets, screaming in fear and familiarity. In a matter of moments, the once bustling street became utterly deserted. The surrounding buildings seemed to contain numerous underground shelters, specifically designed to handle monster incursions like this one.

Looking at the two towering thighs continuing to move forward and destroying the surrounding city buildings, Lin Zhenxi swallowed his saliva and made the difficult decision to follow.

According to the company's monster classification, this monster, which clearly possessed the ability to destroy a city, should be classified as a demon-level monster. Although Lin Zhenxi racked her brains and could not think of any way to deal with this terrifying enemy, it seemed that this huge monster did not seem to have the heart to bully humans who were smaller than ants to it.

This world is full of monsters. Wolf- and Tiger-level monsters are merely minor characters. While Demon-level monsters aren't everywhere, they're definitely not uncommon. Only Dragon-level monsters, capable of wreaking havoc on an entire region, are truly formidable opponents for the heroes. Therefore, these Demon-level monsters will inevitably be annihilated by the heroes in the end.

Lin Zhenxi wanted to see what level of heroes this world possessed. She'd previously planned to visit the Hero Association, hoping to test its credentials. Now that she had the giant monster as a ready-made yardstick, she no longer needed to venture far.

But trying to keep up with the giant monster was no easy task. Each stride it took covered several hundred meters, and its speed was probably over 100 kilometers per hour, with breaking 200 kilometers per hour not out of the question. At that speed, it was impossible to catch up with it even by car, let alone on foot.

After all, cars have to drive on the road, but the giant doesn't need to consider this issue at all.

Fortunately, Lin Zhenxi has a mount that is better than the cars on the ground.

As a genuine witch, it’s not too much to have a flying broom, right?

With this thought, Lin Zhenxi reached into the independent space module and took out the broom handle and broom tip of his flying broom. He connected them together and tightened them, then fastened the lock to compact the gap. Just like that, a streamlined and exquisite flying broom appeared in this world for the first time through Lin Zhenxi's hands.

Lin Zhenxi released her grip on the flying broom, and it floated into the air, hovering at a height perfect for riding. At the same time, Lin Zhenxi felt a new magical pathway opening within her source of magic power, and some of it flowed along this pathway toward the flying broom before her.

While witches and flying brooms are a perfect match, in reality, before obtaining the independent space module, Lin Zhenxi had no way to carry this convenient means of transportation. When traveling through worlds, special agents can only carry the weapons bound to their souls and the clothes they wear. So, after obtaining the space cube, which allows them to carry more things to other worlds, in addition to various survival supplies, Lin Zhenxi's first thought was to add a new vehicle: a flying broom, a specialty of the other world she had traveled to. With the flying broom, her mobility will be greatly improved, making everything easier.

However, the first thing to face when trying to fit a flying broom into the independent space module is the length limitation. The independent space module has limited space. Even if it is tilted, it can only fit a thin rod of 1.73 meters. The length of a high-quality flying broom is just longer than this. In order to fit the flying broom, Lin Zhenxi had to make some improvements to the flying broom, so that it can be disassembled into the broom rod and broom tip, which was successfully installed in the independent space.

Incidentally, this technique for splitting a flying broomstick into two parts was actually a patented invention in that other world. Since he couldn't take it with him anyway, Lin Zhenxi gave the patent to a friend he met in that other world. That person had an unparalleled passion for dodgeball, a game played by wizards on flying broomsticks, and he thought he would be able to make good use of this new technique for splitting flying broomsticks.

Now, having assembled this flying broom, as exquisite as a work of art and as valuable as a supercar, Lin Zhenxi straddled it, gripping the thin ash wood shaft with both hands. With a light tap of her shoe, the broom effortlessly lifted off the ground. She lowered herself to the ground, channeling her magic power into the broom. Like an arrow shot from a bow, it shot diagonally through the sky at a terrifying 150 miles per hour in 10 seconds.

"Wuhu, take off!"

In this world where heroes and monsters dance together, the voice of the witch is heard for the first time.
