Chapter 27: The Underlying Logic is That Incompetence is a Fool
Memories of the past resurfaced.
"So... in the material world, the awakening of magical girls basically relies on the Seeder!"
Mo Ran Ying stood to the side, explaining the rules of the magical girl world to Cheng Qi.
However, Cheng Qi looked thoughtful at this moment.
"Will magical girls like you, who rebel against the nation... also be chosen by the Seeder and given the Seed of the Heart?"
"Hmph, how could the sower have known what would happen later!"
Mo Ran Ying crossed her arms, looking disdainful. "Besides, these Seeders are only responsible for observing whether you have the aptitude to become a magical girl. But they don't care at all what kind of person the chosen girl is."
"Isn't it incredibly irresponsible of the sower to distribute power so casually?"
"They are indeed very irresponsible. But the situation isn't that bad, because it's said that... the Seed of the Heart also chooses its own recipients."
"Choosing people?"
"Yeah, it's probably because there's a special 'mind-based selection' mechanism inside the Seed of the Heart. Anyway, it's definitely not going to accept just anyone. But as for the specific selection method... I'm not too sure."
Mo Ran Ying tilted her head slightly and casually guessed, "Is it to check if there's a desire to become a magical girl? Or maybe it's to confirm whether she's a pure girl at the soul level? That way, it can also prevent the planter from randomly giving out heart seeds."
……
We're back to the present.
Su Chenjin swallowed hard, her gaze fixed on the Seed of the Heart.
What was I thinking just now? Why did I refuse to become a magical girl?
Becoming a magical girl not only grants extra power but also allows her to become the Grand Eunuch's partner. Fighting alongside her in the future will forge a deeper bond, which will greatly aid in brainwashing the Grand Eunuch later.
Yes, you must accept all of this with equanimity and make use of its power!
The only thing to worry about is... if the Seed of the Heart really does select whether someone is female at the soul level... then my body, which has been physically modified, will most likely not pass the test.
However, Zhang Menglin's earlier words echoed in Su Chenjin's ears—
"Commander, I'll say it again: if this body of yours can't transform into a magical girl, I'll commit suicide!"
That mad scientist, though he spends all his time in the lab rambling on and on, seems to have never faltered when it comes to technology. Since she's willing to risk her life for him…
...Uh...it should be fine, right?
Su Chenjin silently cheered herself up, then gritted her teeth and made up her mind.
She reached out her right hand and took the Seed of Heart from the pink rabbit's hand.
"Yes! That's it!"
Seeing the girl accept the gem, the pink rabbit Mengke immediately became so excited that she flew up and down in mid-air:
"Hold it! Press it against your chest! Then clear your mind and feel it with your heart! Once the connection is successfully established, you can awaken as a magical girl!"
Su Chenjin took a deep breath.
Following Mengke's instructions, she tightly gripped the gem in her hand and pressed it against her chest, awaiting the Heart Seed's approval.
As for Liu Xiali and Xie Lan standing to the side, their eyes were filled with anticipation and excitement as they stared intently at the blue-haired maid in front of them, waiting for her magnificent transformation.
A minute passed.
Although Su Chenjin showed no reaction yet, the group was not discouraged.
After all, establishing a connection with the Heart Seed is not easy. Many magical girls did not complete their awakening immediately upon touching the Heart Seed. It is normal for it to take some time.
Two minutes passed.
Hmm... it has indeed taken a little too long.
Liu Xiali and Xie Lan exchanged a glance, both seeing affirmation in each other's eyes.
The awakening ritual for magical girls is always individualized. A longer connection time is definitely not a problem!
Five minutes passed.
…………?
The others present looked at the blue-haired girl in front of them with some embarrassment.
Su Chenjin, who had her eyes tightly closed, seemed to sense the awkward atmosphere. She cautiously opened her eyes and found that everyone was looking at her with strange eyes.
Su Chenjin lowered her hand and slowly opened her palm.
The seed in my palm did not react at all.
"..."
Su Chenjin looked down at the Seed of Heart in her hand, then looked up at Meng Ke floating in the air. Their eyes met.
Meng Ke stared wide-eyed at Su Chenjin in shock.
"This... how is this possible? You can clearly see me... which means your magical potential is perfectly fine... but why can't you establish a connection with the Seed of the Heart?"
Meanwhile, Su Chenjin's mind was already on the verge of collapse.
Zhang Menglin!! Didn't you say there would be absolutely no problem?!
If you can't even handle a broken rock, you might as well just kill yourself right now and apologize!
She had already cursed Zhang Menglin in her heart several times, but now, Su Chenjin felt cold sweat dripping down her forehead.
This is a serious matter.
Not gaining the Heart Seed's approval... this will definitely arouse their suspicion!
As expected, Liu Xiali and Xie Lan couldn't help but huddle together and start discussing it in hushed tones.
"That's so strange... Miss Su can clearly see Meng Ke, so why is she being ignored by the Seed of the Heart?"
"Could it be... that Miss Su has some special reason behind it?"
Hearing the two whispering, Su Chenjin swallowed.
Ruined……
At that very moment, Mengke covered her head with her two little hands and suddenly let out a loud scream—
"Could it be...! Could it be like this?!"
Oh no... Have these sowers already realized I wasn't originally a woman?!
If my identity is exposed, Zhang Menglin definitely won't commit suicide, but I'll definitely get a beating on the spot!
Standing on the edge of the danger of having their identities exposed, an unprecedented sense of crisis instantly enveloped them.
Su Chenjin subconsciously took a half step back. She glanced at the situation out of the corner of her eye, her heart filled with despair.
Both of them are magical girls... I didn't even have a chance to escape.
If I were using my original male body, at such close range, I might be able to launch a surprise attack before they transformed and succeed...
But right now, my body is that of a weak girl! I'm even shorter than both of them, so what's the point of fighting?
Has the "lurking and urging for updates" plan already come to an end so soon?
Su Chenjin's mind raced, trying to find a way to turn the tide in this seemingly hopeless situation.
Or... kneel down and make up a tragic story about being cursed by dark magic?
"Could it be...?"
Just as Su Chenjin was bracing herself for the storm, Meng Ke suddenly raised her head and, with a pained and remorseful tone, delivered her conclusion—
"Could it be... that this 'Seed of the Heart' is broken?!"
…………What?
