Chapter 513: Ambitiousness Value Maxed Out
As the 5 Attribute Points were happily credited, Ye Yao had essentially verified her hypothesis.
Let's check the family members section again.
A new branch seemed to have appeared in the "Magical Girl Alliance" section. Clicking on it, it was divided into the Original Version and the Parallel Universe Version.
This way, there was no need to worry about getting them mixed up at all.
Ye Yao shifted her gaze back to the young girl, Mo Qiuli.
【Keywords: Retired Magical Girl, Nobody in the Superpower World, Still a Problem Child】
【Superpower: Gift of Mercury
Mental Power: 1030
Strength: 59
stamina: 65
agility: 48】
Ye Yao was shocked.
Such low stats!?
You should know that in the original timeline, Mo Qiuli had already ascended to the S-Class throne!
How is it that after three years, this timeline's Mo Qiuli's Mental Power is barely A-rank?
Could it be that she rejected the "Gift of Mercury"?
Ye Yao fell into deep thought.
No, that's not right.
Logically speaking, a teenage girl having A-rank Mental Power would already be considered a genius among geniuses.
After all, when Ye Yao first met Xiao Jing, Xiao Jing's Mental Power was only a bit over a thousand.
This meant that for an average Ability User, breaking through to A-rank before thirty was already considered rapid progress.
Anything further would [N O V E L I G H T] fall into the category of a "monster."
And for Mo Qiuli to become an A-rank Esper during her youth, taking only three years, it really wasn't slow at all.
But...
Compared to the original timeline, it simply didn't measure up.
The stat inflation in this timeline is way too slow!
Ye Yao once again felt just how much of a difference she made to people.
The reason Mo Qiuli progressed so rapidly in the original timeline was, firstly, having support and companionship to bolster her convictions, and secondly, "Nursery Rhyme's" favoritism toward her family members slightly increased her potential.
Combined with Mo Qiuli's already overpowered Superpower, she became an S-Class Esper with an Exclusive Form Technique in less than a year.
But the young Mo Qiuli of this timeline...
...was likely struggling forward amidst constant denial.
Looking at it this way, it seems reasonable that her growth was suppressed?
In short, those old fogies who don't understand Magical Girls are in trouble!
While Ye Yao was busy analyzing, the young Mo Qiuli's head seemed to turn into mush again, her whole mind spinning.
In a moment of impulsiveness, she had agreed.
What was the Magical Girl Alliance?
Although it sounded blood-boilingly exciting, practically a vessel for dreams and friendship.
But she had already retired, hadn't she?
Back then, the adults at the Countermeasure Bureau told her to stop playing these childish role-playing games.
After all, she was gradually entering her golden age.
Logically speaking.
She should have received training from a superpower mentor to become a pillar of the new generation.
Mo Qiuli was also a genius, and her rapid progress made many old veterans think highly of her.
Unfortunately, she disappointed them again.
Ever since she retired as a Magical Girl, her Mental Power had fallen into a strange state of stagnation, unable to improve any further.
It had been like that for a long time.
Even the Countermeasure Bureau's most advanced auxiliary equipment couldn't make her Mental Power budge an inch.
Thus, Mo Qiuli became a "fallen genius."
Everyone felt sorry for her and let her return to a normal life.
Mo Qiuli originally thought she would spend the rest of her life in obscurity.
She never expected a cute girl to invite her to form a lifelong Magical Girl Alliance!
What kind of wild plot twist is this?
And... is this girl an Ability User?
A Magical Girl without power is really just role-playing!
The young Mo Qiuli felt her mind was a mess, unable to say a word for a long time.
Just then, Ye Yao finally snapped out of her analysis and stared intently at the black-haired girl before her.
【Mo Qiuli is debating whether to take back her promise, but her subconscious wants the Magical Girl Alliance to continue】
Seeing the familiar information summary, she wore a satisfied smile.
Although this ability was shameless, it was certainly convenient; it was all about efficiency!
The young Mo Qiuli eventually could only take a deep breath, deciding to just play house with this little one.
"Being a Magical Girl isn't child's play, you know. First, you need power to be able to help others..."
"Skip. Let's skip the preaching; I want to know why you retired."
A tiny ball of light appeared at Ye Yao's fingertip. The technique of projecting Mental Power left Mo Qiuli dumbfounded.
How could Mo Qiuli not know the technical value of such a feat?
Her so-called externalized Mental Power attacks were at best just the plasticity of her Superpower, nowhere near true high-level techniques.
One should know that such a technique requires at least being an S-Class Esper to even begin learning.
Could this girl be an S-Class Esper?
But this also proved one thing: she was qualified to be a Magical Girl!
She wasn't joking!
The young Mo Qiuli hesitated for a moment before slowly recounting the events of the past.
"Actually... the thing that first gave me the idea of retiring was a disaster caused by a bad person..."
Ye Yao maintained a look of serious listening, but after a few seconds, her expression turned strange.
Isn't this the Flame Demon Incident?
So that little brat ended up doing it after all.
But there seemed to be a slight deviation from the original timeline.
In this timeline, Mo Qiuli wasn't near the site of the Flame Demon Incident when it happened; she only rushed over after seeing the flames soaring into the sky.
She was only slightly faster than the Countermeasure Bureau's suppression squad. After struggling with the Flame Demon for a short while, she wasn't taken hostage but was instead saved by the Countermeasure Bureau Ability Users who arrived right after her.
And to save her, that Ability User was severely burned.
Afterward, Mo Qiuli was harshly reprimanded.
Guilt and self-doubt planted the seeds of "retirement" in her heart.
Although she worked hard to improve her strength afterward, trying to pull herself together.
But later, the meta-chasing old veterans at the Countermeasure Bureau discovered Mo Qiuli's amazing talent.
Under the interference of these old fogies, Mo Qiuli "retired" early to receive formal instruction.
However, to everyone's disappointment, Mo Qiuli's talent vanished after that.
Even after being phased out, she never made a comeback as a Magical Girl.
Without anyone's support or recognition, and with her dreams frequently denied, even the most resolute girl would begin to doubt herself in such an environment.
It was likely under these circumstances that Mo Qiuli subconsciously used "expired" as a reason to completely retire from her identity as a Magical Girl.
"Well, that's roughly how it was. Am I very weak?
With those powerful adults around, the world doesn't need Magical Girl Mercury at all.
The adults at the Countermeasure Bureau are very capable; they're better at helping people than I am. Magical Girls are just redundant..."
The young Mo Qiuli laughed self-deprecatingly, lacking any of the confidence her counterpart in the original timeline possessed.
Ye Yao felt her fists clench.
"I don't understand that. All I know is that my Grit is full."
Words are useless.
Those meta-chasing old fogies at the Countermeasure Bureau who don't understand strength are in trouble."}】,
