Witch Special

Lin Zhenxi's work schedule was quite leisurely—in ten years, she'd only accepted six commissions, averaging less than once a year. While some tasks took considerable time to complete, once the work was done, the company's generous rest periods were enough to make her feel like she was growing mushrooms.

There were probably over a hundred special agents in the company. Lin Zhenxi had never paid close attention to the exact number, as it fluctuated constantly. Qualified newcomers were recruited, just as she had been ten years prior. And then, of course, some perished for various reasons, entombed in other worlds, becoming victims of this era of time travel, their bodies left to wander and wander.

The turnover rate for Special Operators is high, not only because the company is constantly recruiting promising newcomers, but also because world travel is an extremely risky undertaking. Before traveling, the target world's conditions are completely unknown. The company can only help determine the target world's atmosphere and gravity, and ensure that the Special Operator doesn't end up in space or get stuck in the Earth's crust during the transfer. As for what the Special Operator will encounter, it all depends on the Special Operator's own adaptability. Humanity has never been the most powerful individual in this world. It is through their wisdom and collective strength that they have become the dominant force on Earth. However, when a Special Operator travels alone into an unknown world, without the strongest support of the collective, they might not even be able to defeat a single carnivorous beast in that world. Those who carelessly feed the beasts or demonic creatures of that world are undoubtedly among those who are dismissed.

The company provided weapons to its dispatched special agents to enhance their combat effectiveness, ensuring they would at least be more than helpless when facing the dangers of another world. However, those naturally suited to combat were rare. Without the necessary combat awareness, even powerful automatic weapons would be unable to defeat a native wielding outdated cold weapons, or even a sharpened spear, in an unfamiliar environment.

Lin Zhenxi must be thankful that her first commission was in a relatively peaceful world. Even when there was conflict, the fighting was relatively civilized. This gave her ample time to familiarize herself with her weaponry and master basic combat skills, greatly increasing her survivability and instantly turning the tide. But even though she was now an elite correspondent within the company, and considered "Senior Lin" by the newer correspondents, she still dared not relax her standards. No one knew what kind of other world the next commission would take her to, so she could only enrich her knowledge as much as possible, enriching her "arsenal" to face any dire situation.

It's this tireless spirit that keeps Lin Zhenxi from slacking off even when she has no commissions or anything else to do. Unlike other special correspondents, who, upon completing their missions and returning to Earth, take a long vacation, indulge themselves in fun and excess, or even become destabilizing elements in society, causing trouble for others.

In reality, the latter is the norm for special agents, as the risks are even higher than those of mercenaries. Once on a mission, there's a real possibility they'll never return. If you don't enjoy yourself now, you might never have another chance later. Of course, those who harbor this mindset will ultimately end up stranded in another world, never to return.

Lin Zhenxi's office is more like a small library or study room than a workspace. Due to the limitations of her power system, Lin Zhenxi cannot obtain knowledge from Earth that would enhance her strength. Instead, she uses her trips to other worlds to gather as much "magic" as possible, recording this knowledge using rubbing magic. Upon returning to Earth, she transcribes these magical images into books, creating her own "magic book." Initially, her office was quite bare, and the number of magic books she transcribed was meager. But over ten years of consistent practice, her office gradually filled with books, some thin and some thick, books she may have mastered or perhaps just memorized through rubbing magic but still struggled to understand. These books gradually filled shelf after shelf, making her office more and more like a small library.

The biggest difference between magic and science is that scientific knowledge is merely a record of text or images. Once written down, it sits there quietly, accessible to anyone, regardless of understanding. Magic, on the other hand, is different. Magical knowledge itself possesses power. This mysterious power protects magic from being freely disseminated like science, and ensures that magic will not be lost due to the passage of time or the passing of those who know it. Simply put, the study of science requires a teacher to guide one, while magic does not, as the magical knowledge itself can serve as a teacher. This is why Lin Zhenxi was able to continue studying magical knowledge even after bringing it back from the other world. As long as she could read and understand it, she would eventually master this knowledge.

Transcribing magic books, analyzing the magic knowledge that is difficult to understand, and trying to master the magic recorded in the books, this is Lin Zhenxi's daily routine at work and after get off work.

Analyzing magic is actually quite addictive. With time and effort, text that was once understandable when separated but completely incomprehensible when connected together gradually becomes smooth and fluent, and I also master new powers in the process. This tangible improvement brings a sense of satisfaction that is far more satisfying than falling in love or having a good meal.

Because of this, while other special agents indulged in physical and spiritual pleasures, living day by day, Lin Zhenxi always hid in her room, constantly adding bricks and tiles to her magic library. The gap between her and ordinary special agents widened due to her different attitude towards life.

Well, to put it simply, Lin Zhenxi traded all her personal time for knowledge. She had no particular hobbies, no romantic relationships, and even no social activities. Aside from trying to persuade her parents to give up on her useless white card and try to pull off a miracle while they still had a chance, and stop expecting her to leave behind a child, she barely socialized with anyone.

Because traveling to another world requires extremely stable space-time coordinate coefficients, the physical data of all special envoys are locked by the company the moment they sign an employment contract with the company. This can be regarded as a hidden benefit. The company did not specify it when signing the contract, and Lin Zhenxi only discovered it in recent years. After all, no matter how young she is, she should be 27 years old now. When all her classmates have married, had children, raised families, accepted the beatings of society, and begun to become vicissitudes or mature, she is the only one who has maintained the appearance of a 17-year-old high school student and has not changed. No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong.

Only those who have worked as a special correspondent for the company for more than five years can perceive the phenomenon of their time being frozen. Unfortunately, such people are actually very rare in the company. All of them have learned the importance of caution and silence through their constant journeys through other worlds. In any case, Lin Zhenxi herself would definitely not say such a thing to anyone. The company is too complicated. Now that she is an employee, she should just remember her position and do her job well. A tool does not need to be talkative.

Today was another day of leisure. Lin Zhenxi walked into her office and the first thing she did was to pull her pendant from her collar. The black pocket book automatically detached from the silver thread and floated flat in mid-air. Then, a black cat leaped out of the book and slung the magic book onto its back.

"Yanyan, bring me the composite star point diagram that I didn't finish drawing yesterday, and then you can do whatever you want." Lin Zhenxi pulled out a chair and sat in front of his desk. He picked up the glasses on the table and put them on, then said to Black Cat.

The black cat saluted Lin Zhenxi, then dived into the bookcase against the wall next to it. Soon, it pulled out a roll of parchment and handed it to Lin Zhenxi.

Lin Zhenxi spread out the parchment, revealing a complex magic circle diagram featuring a hexagram nested within a pentagram within a double circle. It was obvious that this was an unfinished magic circle, as while the overall structure was complete, some of the corners where the small runes should have been were still blank.

This was the foundation for Lin Zhenxi's own attempt at a grand magic, synthesizing the magical knowledge she had gleaned from several otherworldly realms. In her previous journeys, Lin Zhenxi had witnessed numerous stunning and impactful grand magic, even experiencing the "Circle Truth," a supernatural magic that reverses cause and effect, alters the past, and influences the future. These unforgettable experiences shaped Lin Zhenxi's unique understanding of magic and sparked her desire to create her own grand magic.

In any case, she has been exposed to magic for ten years. It is time for her to graduate from a magician and be promoted to a great magician with powerful ability to influence reality.

A man only needs to keep his virginity for 30 years to automatically be promoted to a great magician. Unfortunately, Lin Zhenxi is a girl and cannot follow the path of a leftover man. If she wants to complete the promotion, she must have her own great magic.

The unfinished magic circle diagram in front of him carries Lin Zhenxi's hope of becoming a great magician.

The title of Fairy Tale Witch is too soft, how can it be as shocking as the Nuclear Explosion Witch...
