Chapter 235: Chapter 209: Immense Value

After waiting in line for 30 minutes, the people ahead of them finally spent all their money, and it was Du Qianqian and 102’s turn.

The chair was right in front of them, they watched it intently, wondering who would sit in it. They also saw the reactions of the previous people—their faces covered with fine sweat, cheeks turning red, eyes rolling back, many of them falling directly off the chair, almost like they had become someone else. It wasn’t until this moment, looking at the chair and the helmet connected to it, that they began to have stage fright.

"I’ll pay you, you go ahead and sit," 102 swiped her cash card and invited Du Qianqian to take the seat, "After all, you always say you’re an adult, so you do it."

"Might as well try it," Du Qianqian said, nervously seating herself in the chair.

There were a few tough guys in the tin shack. Since Du Qianqian had already transformed into a strong man, they didn’t think there was anything special about her, but 102 looked like a pretty little rich woman, prompting some covetous glances.

Du Qianqian tried to put on the helmet, but as soon as she picked it up, something felt wrong. The strong man she had transformed into was taller than her original form, but the helmet had to be worn on the original body, meaning it could easily penetrate her disguise.

The magic illusion extended her figure, and to her, it felt like a smaller body was wrapped in a larger magical illusion. Usually, this wouldn’t reveal any flaws, but now that she needed to put on the helmet snuggly, forcing it on would pierce through the false exterior and go straight to the neck, exposing her instantly.

"You go!" Du Qianqian quickly took off the helmet and urged 102 to sit down.

"I’m scared!" 102 was nervous.

"Hurry up!" the tough guys inside urged them.

"I can’t sit." Du Qianqian planned to take 102 and flee.

looked at the chair, reluctant to leave. They had finally made it here, they couldn’t just walk away without having had any fun—it seemed too much of a loss.

But at that moment, 102 had a brilliant idea.

If it was Farosa, she would definitely adore such a magical chair!

She whispered to Du Qianqian, "How about we buy this and present it to Farosa?"

"Would she... would Lady Farosa like it?" Du Qianqian felt that Farosa was great and mysterious, possessing extraordinary power and wisdom, as well as an incomparable will, unlikely to fancy such a superficial thing.

"Guaranteed to like," 102 patted her chest, "Lady Farosa loves this kind of thing the most."

"What about the master?" Du Qianqian was puzzled.

"He’s not around," 102 replied mischievously.

After negotiating the price with a gun, 102 spent 100,000 in funds to buy the euphoric chair. People wanted to mock her, to see how she’d carry the chair away, but they saw 102 effortlessly pick up the chair, weighing a hundred pounds, hoist it onto her shoulder, and walk away, leaving a trail of astonished gazes.

Being too conspicuous wouldn’t do. 102, carrying the chair, ran to the edge of the Underground City, close to the natural rock walls, squatted down, and called her sister for backup.

"What’s all this about?" 101 leaped over, landing gracefully from the air. Seeing 102, a strong man, and a chair that provided euphoric services, she swatted toward the unfamiliar strong man.

"It’s me!" Du Qianqian quickly canceled her transformation, ducking with her head in her hands to avoid being hit by 101, "We’ve found the perfect gift for Lady Farosa!"

"The chair..." 101 had also heard about the euphoric service.

Just by sitting down, putting on the helmet, and pressing the button on the armrest, one could instantly receive a sensation hundreds of times more intense than normal, a trendy form of entertainment. Farosa would definitely not want to miss out on such a thing.

She thought it over repeatedly and confirmed the possibility.

—By presenting the chair to Farosa, there was a good chance she would be promoted directly to a Witch, granting them supreme power.

"Let’s go." 101 put one hand on 102’s shoulder and grabbed Du Qianqian’s neck with the other, while 102 held the chair in her arms. 101 took them all back to the industrial park with a leap.

Bang!

The chair landed, drawing the attention of others.

"Isn’t this the euphoric service?" Mizuiro Yoshioka came over to inspect, "Hasn’t it been exterminated?"

"There are still some tin shacks offering it," Du Qianqian explained.

"Look, all we have to do is give it to Lady Farosa, and she’ll be thrilled," 102 thought she was so clever.

"You, you try it!" Shallow Dream encouraged 102. She had heard that the chair was very powerful and since 102 was physically robust, she might be able to endure it longer.

"Bring it on." 102 was now emboldened and wanted to show off in front of Shallow Dream. She sat down in the chair, put on the helmet, and the electrodes attached to her head automatically. She felt a tingling sensation as the circuits prepared to release special pulses into her central nervous system.

She pressed the button on the armrest of the chair.

—Her mind went blank.

screamed as her magic power was uncontrollably released, and she jumped from the chair, also ripping the helmet wires. She bounced on the ground, rolling over twice before she overcame the euphoria.

"102!" 101 rushed over to help 102 to her feet, with 102 gasping for air.

"How does it feel? What’s it like?" Shallow Dream pressed.

"It’s like..." 102 struggled to describe, her happiness almost bringing her to tears, "Like... the feeling of happiness."

"Happiness?" Shallow Dream didn’t understand.

"The kind of happiness when dreams come true," 102, full of hope for life, sat on the ground, gesturing to Shallow Dream, "The happiness of a full belly, of defeating enemies in games, of receiving wages and bonuses... But it’s different, no need to strive anymore... It’s all concentrated in a single button press, and after pressing it, you have everything all at once... So happy..."

Lila had just returned from scanning the seabed and, seeing them gathered playing, strolled over.

"Even though you’ve experienced so many happy things, there’s still a kind of joy you haven’t experienced," Lila said after hearing 102’s words.

"Which kind?" 102 didn’t understand.

"Lila!" 101 guessed it and quickly took 102 away.

"I still want to play with that chair!" 102 reached out towards the Ultimate Service, "I want to be happy every day!"

carried 102 to another corner of the industrial park before setting her down, and gave her nose a little scratch.

"Aren’t you happy with me around?" 101 said.

"What’s the kind of happiness that I haven’t experienced, the one Lila mentioned?" 102 was curious.

"The things you do with someone you like," 101 thought for a moment, "Do you have someone you like?"

gently hugged 101.

At the spot, the other witches were still pondering.

"What did Lord Lila mean?" Shallow Dream was also a child and didn’t quite understand.

"Something that can instantly replenish our magic power," Du Qianqian also thought of something and had a meaningful expression.

"Isn’t that great!" Shallow Dream’s eyes lit up.

"Not at all," Du Qianqian scared Shallow Dream, "You would get pierced."

After a while, Xu Yang arrived at the industrial park, learned the whole story, and threw the chair into the industrial shredder to destroy it, then sent the crushed material to the waste incineration plant to obliterate it forever.

It wasn’t that he was worried Lady Farosa would really be captivated, she had grown a lot after all and wouldn’t be as superficial as before, Xu Yang was worried the Little Witches would have their minds damaged by such a thing, its harm more terrifying than any drug, only serving to hollow out a person’s will.

"I’ve surveyed the surrounding environment and drafted a business investment proposal," Lila handed the scouting report of this sea outing to Xu Yang, "This way, we can also effectively persuade Kanako."

"That’s timely news," Xu Yang went to check if Lady Farosa had woken up.

Lady Farosa had recovered her full energy from a long slumber, and upon waking up, she had been studying ancient intelligence, never leaving her room, feeling that she had entered a strange state where she could use divine power to maintain her existence, never feeling hungry after awakening.

"Is it time to communicate with Kanako?" Lady Farosa checked the report drafted by Lila, "There are so many resources around us on the seabed."

"In this region," Lila pointed out on the draft, "Starting from the south side of Aizu City, entering the sea at 4.3 nautical miles, at a depth of 174 meters, there is a sea basin. I sensed a considerable amount of oil reserves, buried deep, difficult to extract, but with an extremely considerable capacity, with an estimated total of around 60 to 100 billion barrels."

"Oh," Farosa, from an era when oil was not yet exploited, wasn’t very sensitive to this black gold.

"Enough to sway Kanako," Xu Yang agreed. This could be counted as the most surprising discovery.

"My grand plan is also ready to take center stage," Farosa ran to change her clothes.

Xu Yang nodded secretly.

This was equivalent to lending a heavy-weight chip to Kanako, it was up to her how to utilize it.

They reconnected with Kanako, who by this time had finished her tasks at hand and was on her way to visit Lady Honma Noriko at the Xisheng Shrine.

"Kanako, hello." Lady Farosa, dressed in corporate attire, stood with her hands clasped behind her back, looking up at Kojima Kanako on the screen.

"Lady Farosa, long time no see! I’m so happy!" Kanako was very excited.

"I believe you have the capability to inherit Lady Honma Noriko’s assets after her passing, during the turbulent struggle for inheritance within Xisheng,"

"I’ll do my best!" Kojima Kanako smiled.

"However, there’s an easier way that can allow you to inherit Lady Honma Noriko’s assets."

"Hmm... What do you mean..." Kojima Kanako was taken aback.

"Lady Honma Noriko is worrying about her lifespan. It’s news everyone on the street knows," Farosa said, "But I can extend her life by 100 years, giving her another century of life."

"With your magic power?" Kanako was curious, "It must be hard, going back and forth like that."

"No," Farosa shook her head, "I can transform your mother into a witch!"
