Chapter 149
“So, you didn’t catch these traffickers?” Liv asked
“No,” Nice said . Little Nice originally wanted to brag about it, but when she remembered that the magical jellyfish asked her to keep the power of being a magical girl a secret, she changed her mind . “Originally, I was going to be caught by these bad guys . At that time, a big-sister-type girl with green clothes and green hair fell from the sky, and knocked them down with a fist! She was really, really awesome!”
Liv looked at the few traffickers and found that they were actually beaten by fists . The marks were still on their faces .
“So, did the sister with green clothes and green hair say who she was?”
Little Nice immediately shook her head . “The sister said nothing except ‘this was what I had to do,’ and flew away . ”
Liv ignored the strange words, lost in thought .
Falling from the sky? Flying away? Was she a powerful mage? But why did the mage hit people with fists? Wasn’t it simpler to freeze the traffickers? Or… was she a powerful and kind creature—a heavenly creature?
Liv thought for a long time, and thought that this conjecture was more reliable, so she took it down . She asked the subordinates to interrogate the traffickers, then asked a clever trainee soldier escort Little Nice back home .
“I won’t go back!” Little Nice shook her head . “I can take care of myself!”
“You were almost caught by the traffickers!”
“The green sister will protect me!”
“Nonsense!” Liv said, holding her sister up . She explained the situation to her companions, and took her sister home .
“Take care of our house!” she said . “If you are bored, read the books and learn something . Or you could go to the yard to practice with the sword; I made a wooden sword for you, so practicing is good . Do not touch the bow and arrow, you are too young to learn that…”
She asked Nice to do many things .
Little Nice listened, angry, and quarrelled with her sister, but in vain .
Liv wanted one thing: don’t go outside!
When she left, she locked the door .
In the past, when the door was locked, Little Nice could only read books at home . But now the situation was different . Seeing her sister was walking away, she immediately twisted the bracelet lightly .
Change!
“You won’t let me out, but I’m going out!” She rested her hand on her hips and angrily pointed at Liv a few times, just to vent her grievances . After she finished, she stamped her feet and flew directly from the yard over Gars City . In order to ensure safety, the magical girl’s war-dress was usually invisible, and almost no one in Gars City could see this invisible body .

Nice happily made circles in the sky, looking for someone who needed help . She remembered in her dream that the magical jellyfish told her a magical girl should help others .
In the port area, in the embassy and business center of the Sea of Storm that had just been built last winter, the ambassador who was reading a book put down the book with some doubt, and came to the window .
“A little green girl flying in the sky? Where did she come from?”
Some people also saw her, including Ray . At that moment he looked puzzled at the sky, not understanding what was going on .
However, these masters did not like to meddle in these affairs . There was no air traffic control in Gars City, and there wasn’t a no-fly zone . As long as it was not a cause for trouble, she would not be interfered with .
A few days later, Ray read a report submitted by the guards and looked surprised .
“A beautiful girl with green hair and green clothes is helping people in Gars City . ”
“Where does she come from? Is she a ranger?” he thought, remembering the girl flying around, then shook his head . “That doesn’t fit . She’s not like a ranger, but instead like a layman who benefits from magic . ”
With his rich fighting background, he found that Little Nice did not have fighting experience, at a glance . But he also saw that Little Nice was growing rapidly . Perhaps it would not take long before she could truly grow into an independent expert .
Anyway, since she did good things, then there is no problem, Ray thought .
After he finished, he put away this document and put it in the folder labelled ‘Needs Follow-up Attention” . As a governor, he was very busy, and had no time to waste on a matter that had no bad influence .
However, all the ghosts and monsters of the Gars city had troubles .
Little Nice did not know anything about wisdom like ‘there is no fish in water that is extremely clear,’ or ‘the most important thing is to learn to compromise . ’ She only knew that a magical girl should do good things, and her father and mother and sister always taught her to be a good person . Be a good person, and do good things .
So, in just half a month, there were at least thirty thieves, seven or eight robbers, and several gangs of fraudsters who encountered this beautiful young girl with green clothes and green hair . They were all knocked down by her punch, and then tied up and sent to the guards . Thanks to her, the security of Gars City was greatly improved, and there was a sense that there was no need to lock doors at night .

Underground, in the wide sewers, several figures were whispering and discussing countermeasures in anger .
“It can’t go on like this!” said a round-headed figure . “That Green Girl is too annoying, and we must kill her!”
“Well, what can we do?” asked a figure that looked like a mouse .
“We can set a trap,” said a figure in a black robe . “She looks a little silly . Maybe we can catch her in a trap!”
“Okay! If I grab her, I’ll eat her, cut her head off and hang it in the house as a souvenir!” said a muffled voice .
“Let me have intercourse with her before you eat her,” A thin figure said with an obscene smile .
Then others also laughed in an obscene way .
The matter was decided .
These people—or creatures (after all, there were several non-human beings among them)—were the big bosses of the underworld forces of Gars City . They had been hiding so deep, that even Ray could not catch them .
All along, they had targeted each other, and the statuses of alliance, hostility, cooperation and betrayal had been constantly changing . But this time, they united to eradicate the unreasonable, uncompromising green woman who was up against them .
After careful discussion, they prepared a plan; a fairly complete, detailed, and feasible one .
However, it turned out that it was not a good plan .
“What? There was an outbreak of war in Ximen District?” Ray asked . After a busy morning, he jumped and hurriedly ate something . He had been preparing to take a short break . “How much is the loss? And casualties?”
The guards who reported the news seemed to be a bit off, and embarrassed . “A lot of money has been lost, but the casualties… according to our preliminary statistics, they are all members of various illegal organizations . ”
Ray was relieved, sat down again, and asked, “Is it infighting? These guys are getting more and more naughty!”
“According to the witnesses, it is not infighting among the various organizations,” the guard said with some amusement . “According to them, they laid ambush against someone . They wanted to destroy or grab the ‘Green Girl . ’ But the ability of the Green Girl far exceeded their imaginations . After a fierce war, they suffered heavy losses . The chiefs are all dead, and the Green Girl has escaped .
Ray couldn’t but laugh . “They deserve it! These guys see no law! Pass my orders, that the defence forces should gather and clean up, and see if I can take advantage of this opportunity to catch the guys that I have been wanting to catch!”
The guard gave Ray a salute and hurriedly left . Ray sat there thinking for a while, went to the front of the documents cabinet, took out a folder marked ‘Important Documents,’ and found several documents in it .
That was the report and analysis of Green Girl all along .
“Strange girl… where exactly are you from?” Looking at the documents, he fell into meditation .
“What the hell is your origin?” Bena, ambassador of the Sea of Storm to Gars, looked puzzled at the little girl who was sleeping in bed, and she was surprised .
Just now, she noticed that a war broke out over Ximen district and was planning to go and see what was going on . However, she noticed that there was a green light flying here . She found that she was the famous Green Girl that was legendary during this period of time .
The girl’s armor was damaged in several places, and it was contaminated with a lot of blood . She found several bleeding wounds . So she flew up and stopped the girl, and brought her to the ground .
Perhaps because she was out of danger, the Green Girl fell into a coma after coming down . With a green light, she became the mixed-blooded girl with obvious moon elf characteristics, looking about ten years old . Bena took her back to the embassy in doubt and treated her .
Because she was still unconscious, there was no way to ask her anything . But soon, her subordinates returned to report what went on in the Ximen District .
When Little Nice woke up, she saw a smiling mermaid looking at her, with her blue eyes filled with curiosity .
“You’re finally awake,” she said . “You’ve been so reckless this time!”
Little Nice hurried to sit straight and reached, subconsciously touching the bracelet on her left wrist .
“Don’t be nervous . I’m not your enemy,” Bena said with a laugh . “You haven’t been completely cured . You can recover here for some time . We are absolutely safe here . ”
“But…I’ll need go home again,” Little Nice said quickly . “If I don’t go home, my mother and sister will worry!”
Bena blinked and became more and more curious .
“Then I’ll send you back,” she said .
Little Nice was not willing to run the risk of being identified and being escorted by her, but because of the injuries, she was now unable to stand, let alone walk .
She eventually returned to her home in a carriage with a fish badge, with Bena’s escort . When she arrived home, she saw her mother and sister who were extremely anxious . That night, the famous hero of the Gar City, Green Girl, was scolded to tears by her mother . She was like a poor, hungry puppy .

As the Godking Wills
The Empire and the Church span almost the entirety of the known world, absent some pockets of lawlessness and the realms of the deceiver. They are governed as a despotic theocracy, ruled in name by the solitary and omnipotent God, Al'Shazan.In practice, Al'Shazan is bored, flighty, cruel and has little interest in ruling the Empire. Instead the Empire is run by the High Priest, Minister of the Treasury, and the Knight Commander of the inquisition. Their job is to make sense of the contradictory nonsense spewed forth by their living God while simultaneously ruling the greatest nation that the world has ever known. The entire time, they have to maintian the facade that Al'Shazan is a benevolent and loving God in order to maintain morale in the general populace. --------- The actual genre for this is more along the lines of a Fantasy Political Comedy/Drama/Thriller. It will not be 'crunchy' (minimal action, minimal descriptions of powers/abilities) but instead be focusing on world building and political maneuvering. As a warning, it is fairly dark.

Dungeon Core Chat Room.
This is a slower-paced "experiment and dungeon building" web novel that tries to use the idea of peer-to-peer communication with Dungeon Cores instead of Dungeon to slave monster communication to break up the detailed dungeon building. Rank 1 description: (minimum met for system initialization...detailed description as follows) Each race was given a system by the gods to make up for their shortcomings and balance their place in this world. Humans: Abysmally bad at understanding and using magic unable to use more than the lowest of magic were given the "Skill System" magic in the form of premade skills with use, study, and mastery tied to experience. Elves: Intuitively understand magic and have long lives leading to vast knowledge and skill in their chosen fields. However, as a species, they have nearly zero sex drive and less than low fertility, so they were gifted the "World Tree System" with experience gained through the care of natural areas – gifting the chance of children to increase their numbers without dirty copulation. All “natural” or “wild” monsters are given an "Evolution system" designed around killing and consuming as many creatures as possible, slowly increasing strength and, at thresholds, allowing mutations to alter them multiple times. Dungeon cores are different. Unlike humans, they can see, manipulate and live off mana. Unlike Elves, they naturally crystallize after extended periods of time in high mana level areas. However, they cannot easily move or communicate and typically go insane without companionship. As a species other than the odd eccentric they are unimaginative. Brute forcing solutions without the drive to truly innovate. Thus they have been gifted with the "Dungeon Connection System" a magical version of the internet accessible by their peers that allows them to barter and sell: bait, traps, monsters, and knowledge, as well as entertain each other with “adventure streams” using exciting recorded battles and humorous reels of arrogant chumps biting off more than they can chew to often fatal effects. This is the casual story of a dungeon unluckily spawned far from potential adventurers forced to innovate beyond its peers to find its place in this world. Rank 2 Description: Justification. I've been on a dungeon core kick for months and while I love the genre – it's sparse with entries. Often the forced conflict gets repetitive and frantic solving of threats "power levels" the protagonist to god levels to progress the plot – taking away the nice steady progression fantasy I'm looking for. (Progression in this story is linked to how strong of monsters/traps/whatever he can create not his "level"...this is demonstrated by some of his newer monsters beating his older monsters not with discrete "this monster has 10 attack this one has 40") Additionally, the focus on 3rd parties with their drama takes away from the reason I’m reading dungeon core novels in the first place – I'm looking for magical crafting, experimentation and kingdom building – not defence from higher and higher levelled enemies looking to steal/destroy/control the MC. This novel is kind of just me writing the story I wish I could read. I like thinking about the experimentation that can be done in fantasy settings using 'mana' as an excuse to make up rules and try to keep them internally consistent. IE once I define how a rule works, I'm going to commit to keeping it – no breaking hard truths I've given when it's convenient, even if it backs me into a corner. Hopefully, that should make the story interesting to read even if it's SOL and less action-oriented. There will be problems to solve and a clear progression in strength (of created monsters and knowledge) however due to not wanting to force conflict for the sake of conflict the general theme will be closer to slice of life with few action sequences and no overarching goal so please keep that in mind when picking this up as the genre is not for everyone. Finally, I have a clear goal of what I want from this story (not an endless romp but a series of arcs and then a conclusion that's a couple of dozen medium-sized chapters long) I want to commit to finishing it or at least bringing it to a point of rest. I hate all the engaging stories that stop with a “hiatus” indefinitely so in the event I lose motivation I'll work to end this even if the ending becomes rushed/unsatisfying just to give a sense of closure. I’m planning on including several polls in terms of direction and taking feedback heavily into account if I get enough readers (but may choose to ignore it if it deviates too far from the direction I want to take this as in feedback like: “The MC needs a cartoonishly evil arch-enemy that wants to enslave him and force the mc to pump out magic items” or “the MC needs to make a body and learn teleportation then live with humans” will get shot down without consideration.)
