The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

In a certain sense, good luck and bad luck are concepts defined by humans; they aren't that absolute.

One's good luck is the misfortune of one's adversary, and vice versa.

Items that can make their possessor lucky are extremely rare and naturally much sought after, and their rank is generally no lower than Tier Four. The market premium is almost excessively high, so in the absence of a talent upgrade, sacrificing them is hardly worthwhile.

Whether a short burst like a flood or a long trickle like a gentle stream is better, only time will tell.

But ominous items are different.

While equally rare and often effective over the long term, their uses are very limited. Generally, only a very few Spirit Beasts with cursing abilities and talents can utilize them. The management cost is also high, making them unsavory for sellers but not worth discarding, so they're relatively much cheaper.

Using them to enhance one's luck and provide assistance on the path ahead is incredibly worthwhile.

This talent is like a divine skill for turning waste into treasure.

The technology is so advanced that it can conduct experiments and modifications on initial Purple Legendary Level Potential Spirit Beasts. The importance of the Divine Heart Association's base cannot be overstated. Even if the resident True Man has left, there's a high probability of a Five-Star Spirit Master being stationed there, making the risk immense.

Even if I have two trump cards given by a True Man, they can at most ensure safety and not necessarily achieve my goal.

But what if I could greatly enhance my luck based on this?

In a past life, in a round of a game, Lin Guang once relied on the [Holy Secret Text·Front] to complete a highly difficult, seemingly impossible quest chain.

At that time, the character in the game was just a Three-Star Spirit Master, but by sacrificing a precious treasure, he greatly boosted his luck, resulting in a series of random events all yielding maximum outcomes while adversaries met with misfortunes and abnormal status effects, inexplicably allowing him to complete the task.

Of course, before absolute power and grid positions, luck sometimes seems insignificant, for example, a whole squad of Five-Star Spirit Masters completely ignoring the descent of a Secret Realm, still positioned within the research institute.

It's obvious without much thought that with just this small amount of offerings and his current energy level, the effect of the [Holy Secret Text·Front] cannot be so powerful as to bring about unexpected mishaps to make multiple Five-Star Spirit Masters weak enough for Lin Guang's team to defeat.

However, such a possibility is quite small.

Sacrificing four Tier Four ominous items is quite a substantial investment, at least ensuring a reduction in the probability of unexpected events and greatly increasing the chances of success on this venture.

Now with the descent of a Tier Seven Secret Realm, containing opportunities that could even tempt a True Man, it is inevitable that the defenses of the Divine Heart Association would be relatively vacant compared to usual. Undoubtedly, this is the best chance Lin Guang has had for a long while.

Lin Guang placed the box on the table in the living room and spread open his palm.

[Holy Secret Text·Front] activated.

A small pure white light orb suddenly formed in the palm of his right hand.

Once it appeared, it began to flicker and draw in some kind of faint malice from the surroundings into itself.

Lin Guang abruptly stretched his right hand towards the wooden box.

In an instant, the ominous atmosphere intensified several times, with faint wailing sounds echoing in the air.

However, the light orb, as if meeting the best nourishment, commenced absorbing greedily, visibly devouring strands of ominous aura, congealing into black mist from the four pieces of spiritual material, becoming a mix of black and white.

As he absorbed, a visible sternness appeared on Lin Guang's face, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Finally, there was nothing left to extract from the four pieces of spiritual material, and the atmosphere in the room cleared completely.

He raised both hands, beginning to slowly formulate with the two-colored light orb.

His hands continuously changed the seal, assisting the Power of Whole Heart and Soul for subtle and precise operations.

Soon, Lin Guang's hands came to a halt.

The light orb had disappeared, replaced by his right index finger, which now also glowed with the same color, as if absorbed into his right hand, becoming the raw material for the next step of secret technique deployment.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Guang extended his right index finger, as if drawing Spirit Patterns in the void, sketching stroke by stroke, with every touch leaving lingering light, seemingly part of a complete whole.

Soon, a fist-sized complex gray character slowly took form.

Vishdair and Lisa gazed in astonishment at his right hand—this character's form appeared incredibly complex, almost dizzying at first glance, as if containing unfathomable secrets.

Front, indicating the future intention.

This method can to a certain extent alter one's future.

At the moment of formation, the character suddenly transformed into a stream of light, entering his forehead.

In an instant, an indescribable sensation emanated from the Sea of Spirit.

To put it simply... perhaps it was a sense of "relief."

[Status: Great Fortune (Duration 17 hours 24 minutes 39 seconds)]

"...Is your [Witchcraft] done?"

The silver-haired girl looked for a few seconds, confirmed the process had ended, and approached.

She used her fair, delicate hands to touch various parts of Lin Guang's body, then leaned in, nostrils flaring, as if smelling the air. Finally, she cupped his head, and her cross-star-like eyes stared at Lin Guang's face with curiosity: "Doesn't seem any different."

Lin Guang laughed silently, reaching out to firmly slap her exceptionally elastic, pleasant-feeling bottom.

"You're not Perro (the dog), what could you possibly smell."

After a few minutes of play, all the necessary preparations were complete.

Lin Guang approached the door, about to raise his hand, but suddenly recalled what Teacher Kaiwen had said before.

Hesitating for a few seconds, he thought of her enduring concern for him, deciding to follow his heart, he took out his phone and quickly drafted a message to send to his teacher before setting out.

Not waiting for a reply, Lin Guang pocketed his phone, walked to the entryway, and turned off the living room lights.

The house was engulfed in darkness, with the sounds of rain and thunder constantly resounding.

But he knew, at this moment, Vishdair and Lisa were watching him.

Lin Guang smiled silently, pressed down the door handle, and stepped out.

"Let's go."

...

Click.

The door opened.

A figure walked in.

The surrounding pale green light strips gradually lit up, illuminating a corner of the room.

It was a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, with an elegant face and a cold expression, her gray-black hair cascading like a waterfall, streaked with bright red.

She raised her hand and removed the black round earring from her left ear.

An invisible wave flashed by, revealing gray-black wolf ears and a wolf tail on her body.

"How have you been feeling this past month?"

From the shadows of the laboratory, a silver-haired figure with green cat ears on their head asked her.

"After that adjustment, I've been feeling much better than before."

"Any unusual symptoms?"

"..."

The girl paused but still shook her head.

"Is that so."

The figure did not pursue the matter further, only said indifferently, "Go inside."

The girl began to strip off her clothes.

Amidst the soft sounds, clothes gradually fell to the ground: windbreaker, shirt, shorts, shoes, shorts... Her beautifully contoured body was slowly exposed in the air, her skin as white as jade, and she removed the thick 80D stockings from her slender long legs, revealing her white, delicate feet with gracefully arched insteps and long toes.

Until only two close-fitting garments remained on the ground, she showed no sign of embarrassment or shyness, standing barefoot on the laboratory floor, walking with slender and graceful legs to the center of the lab, and slowly lying down in the coffin-like instrument.

Once over a dozen electrode pads were attached to her body and head, the coffin lid slowly closed, orange liquid was injected through pipes, and the instrument's red light lit up.

The floor began to shine with complex, technologically advanced colored lines.

Abundant ether of various attributes was guided from the underground Ethereum Reactor to be used in this arrangement that differed greatly from Great Xia's traditional Spirit Rune Array.

If a Miracle Master sufficiently knowledgeable in Spirit Rune Arrays were to observe this formation, they would reach a conclusion.

It not only merges the styles of Great Xia and the Federation Country's Spirit Rune Arrays, but also some unfamiliar yet highly efficient Spirit Runes not currently public in academic circles.

Meanwhile, various data began flashing across the laboratory's screen.

The figure remained seated by the computer, green eyes fixed on the data cascading like a waterfall, occasionally raising a hand to tap on the keyboard.

Following her operations, the fluctuations emitted by the Spirit Rune Array also sharply changed.

Undoubtedly, this was real-time fine adjustment according to the current situation.

Several hours later, once the situation stabilized somewhat, the figure moved her hand away from the keyboard and glanced at the clock on the table.

12:33 AM.

The drawer of the lab table was opened, revealing several bottles of pale green nutritional supplements which she pulled out, uncapping one with a pop, prepared to drink it with a familiarity as if she had done it a thousand times before.

However, just as the bottle touched her mouth, her movement halted.

With a flip of her wrist, a carefully packaged lunch box appeared on the table.

Thanks to the preservation function of a Spiritual Artifact, it remained piping hot.

"..."

Gently stroking the lunch box, a touch of softness appeared in the woman's eyes. After a long silence, she waved her wrist again, tucked the lunch box away, drank the nutritional supplement while taking out a black phone from her chest and pressed the power button.

Bzzz...

A vibration sound rang out, receiving many accumulated text messages simultaneously.

Her fingers tapped lightly, swiftly browsing each text message.

When she saw a particular message, her brows furrowed.

Upon seeing the latest one, sent a dozen minutes ago, her pupils contracted sharply.

Suddenly, almost like a tidal wave, green ripples surged from her body. The half-drunk supplement bottle was squeezed until it exploded, fragments scattered everywhere, but she swiftly reacted—the liquid and fragments were frozen mid-air by the green ripples, not hitting the ground.

With a wave of her hand, the fragments and liquid flew aside into a nearby waste pool, her aura collected back within, then she stood as if intending to do something.

However, she had barely turned forty-five degrees before stopping, looking back at the data flashing across the computer and the working adjustment chamber, showing hesitance in her eyes.

In the end, the woman sat back down, one hand on the keyboard, while the other tapped on the phone screen, seemingly composing something.

Meanwhile.

On the third basement floor, within a lavishly decorated office.

A muscular, square-headed man sat discontentedly on an expensive Spirit Beast Hide sofa, muttering to himself, "What bad luck… They both went, why does it have to be my turn on duty?"

Beep beep beep.

He lowered his head, took out a small phone from his chest creating a stark contrast with his hand.

Just a glance, and joy flashed across the man's face.

"Great! Awesome!"

"They can go, so why can't I?"

With that said, his figure blurred, vanishing at a speed difficult for ordinary eyes to discern.
