Chapter 508: Isekai Girl Wants to Cultivate Qi, Wants to Earn Big Money to Go Home

"What, no magic power, yet you want to cast magic?"

Broly looked with some surprise at the two people who had come over and made this strange request to him.

"Yeah, Broly-san, you also only have Qi, but can cast magic normally, right? I thought you should have a way, so I suggested Miss Nanase come find you."

The 50th-loop Rudeus nodded and said.

"Please, Mr. Broly, if you have a way to let me cast magic, please help me."

Nanahoshi Shizuka bowed, bending her waist to ninety degrees, and made her request.

"I have a way, but..."

Broly hesitated a bit. Nanahoshi Shizuka thought he needed some other reward, and hurriedly said: "As long as it's something I can do, just give the order."

"Since that's the case, then you just follow me and do a round of warm-up exercises first."

Broly finished speaking, and began doing a set of slow-motion fist forms in his own backyard.

"Like this?"

Hearing this, Nanahoshi Shizuka was first stunned, then hurriedly followed along.

"Right right right, but the movements need to be even slower, while maintaining a good breathing rhythm."

Broly watched Nanahoshi Shizuka's movements and nodded.

From a beginner's perspective, the girl's movements trembled slightly, but were still considered standard.

"Broly-san, may I ask, what is this doing?"

Rudeus watched curiously from the side and asked.

"The magic power my magic uses is basically all converted from my Qi, and this is a set of Qi Refining Fist I developed myself. Those who can follow the practice prove they have the talent for Qi cultivation. This way, if you want magic power, you only need to master the technique of converting Qi into magic power afterwards."

Broly explained.

"Ah, this is Qi cultivation, that kind of Qi from your world?"

"Mm."

Getting an affirmative answer, Rudeus hurriedly started mimicking the movements.

He also wanted to possess the cool ability to fly rapidly with arms crossed in front of his chest.

But after mimicking for a while, Rudeus just lay flat on the ground. He was somewhat dazed: "What's going on, why can't I do the same movements as you two? It clearly doesn't look very difficult."

"My Qi Refining Fist makes the Qi flow inside the human body circulate. People in this world have magic power existing inside their bodies. Having little magic power doesn't matter, but having a lot, like you, might cause a conflict with Qi."

Broly explained a sentence.

"So, I can't cultivate Qi?"

"Mm."

After getting Broly's affirmative answer, Rudeus became somewhat disappointed. He also had the desire to become a Dragon Ball person in his heart.

Even if he couldn't become as strong as a Saiyan, Yamcha's level of strength — the one beaten into a world-famous death pose by the Vegeta-person — would be fine too.

At least, the other party's strength should exceed this world's King-level warrior level.

"Broly-san, how is Miss Nanase's talent?"

Rudeus sat to the side, and after watching the two finish a set of fist forms, asked the Saiyan boy.

"Passable, average person's level."

Broly replied.

"Eh, average people can also cultivate your Qi Refining Fist?"

"The vast majority can, as long as they're alive and can breathe."

Rudeus: "..."

"With this, I can, use magic power?"

Following along to finish a round of fist forms, Nanahoshi Shizuka panted slightly and asked.

"No, you need to cultivate Qi Sense first. Otherwise, if you can't even detect Qi, how can you convert Qi into magic power?"

"Then may I ask, how long does this take?"

"That depends on the individual. Like Eris, she cultivated Qi Sense in three days. Orsted, just by glancing once, learned it.

But he originally knew Dragon Saint Battle Aura anyway, which also counts as a kind of Qi.

As for you, honestly, I'm not sure.

Because this set of Qi Refining Fist was improved by me in this world.

Until now, I've only guided a few people, and among these people, your aptitude is second to last."

"Then who's the absolute last?"

Rudeus asked curiously. Broly didn't speak, just looked at him.

Rudeus only then reacted, pointed at his own nose, and asked somewhat uncertainly: "Me?"

"Mm."

The magic power Rudeus possesses is vast, vast to the point of being incompatible with Dragon Ball World's Qi, this kind of cure-all system power.

"However, train properly for some time. Once you've trained a strong physique, firing Ki Blasts might not work, but sensing Qi Sense should still be possible. At that time, learn a magic power conversion, and you can use elementary magic."

Nanahoshi Shizuka: "..."

If she remembered correctly, the Summoning Magic that summoned her to this Isekai was at least Emperor Rank or God Rank.

"If I want to release Emperor Rank or God Rank magic, to what extent would I need to train?"

She couldn't help but ask.

"Eh, want to convert magic power capable of releasing Emperor Rank or God Rank magic? Then the magic power needed is slightly more..."

Broly thought for a bit, then pointed at the Dog-girl Sword King walking back from the country path together with Eris, and said: "Roughly, you just need to be able to crush her with pure physical strength."

Nanahoshi Shizuka looked in the direction Broly pointed, and saw Ghislaine wearing revealing clothes, but the exposed body was full of firm muscle. The Dog-girl's shoulder also carried a thick wooden stick, and behind the stick hung a bunch of large fish pierced through the gills, each at least 1 meter long, each weighing no less than ten jin. She subconsciously swallowed her saliva.

"What's wrong, Broly?"

Eris came over to this side, and seeing Broly pointing at Ghislaine's situation, couldn't help but ask.

"Nothing much, just that this Miss Nanase intends to surpass Ghislaine in terms of physical strength."

Broly replied.

"Ah..."

Seeing Eris and the Dog-girl Sword King both looking over, Nanahoshi Shizuka hurriedly waved her hands.

"I didn't say that."

"But don't you want to cast Emperor-rank or even God-rank magic?"

"Yes, but..."

Nanahoshi Shizuka was somewhat broken; she still had self-awareness, knowing she absolutely had no possibility of defeating a Dog-girl Sword King whose arms could run horses through training.

"Eh, you want to learn Qi, gain the ability to transform Magic Power, then study Summoning Magic to return to your own world?"

After hearing Nanahoshi Shizuka's purpose for cultivating Qi, Eris looked at her family's boy and said: "Broly, why don't you help her out."

"Huh?!"

Nanahoshi Shizuka hurriedly looked over; this meant he was willing to help her return home?

"Alright, since you've spoken up, Eris."

Broly nodded, not refusing either.

However, unlike what Nanahoshi Shizuka thought — directly helping her return home — Broly merely used his own Qi to guide the Qi inside her body, coordinating with the Qi cultivation fist to perceive the sensation of Qi.

In less than half a month, Nanahoshi Shizuka had the sensation.

Converted to this world's Battle Aura system, it was about the same level as the Battle Aura possessed by some Beginner Melee Combatants.

However, this was enough to make Nanahoshi Shizuka, who was just an ordinary female high school student in her previous life, feel extremely surprised and delighted.

Because this meant she possessed the ability to properly survive in this world, and even earn money.

And to cast high-level magic, besides using Qi to transform Magic Power, one can actually also draw a Magic Circle and use Magic Crystals and Magic Stones as a Power Source to release it.

In other words, as long as she had money to purchase enough Magic Crystals and Magic Stones, she could also rely on the Magic Power transformed from her low-level Qi to research the Summoning Magic Circle.

Of course, Nanahoshi Shizuka had already inquired; being an Adventurer in this world is not easy, and wanting to be a Merchant, if one lacks both connections and strength, is also somewhat difficult, so after cultivating the Qi sensation, she requested Broly to teach her some combat techniques to prepare for the future.

Regarding this, Broly did not refuse; however, for a martial arts beginner like Nanahoshi Shizuka, there was no need for him to personally instruct, so Broly directly handed this otherworldly girl who wanted to learn combat techniques over to his family's Little Aisha.

"Nanase-neesan, you're so dumb, that's not how you swing a sword."

In Year 418, Aisha was already five years old; but don't look at this little guy being only five, her swordsmanship level was not low at all, at least in terms of swordsmanship talent, the girl was not much inferior to Eris; an Intermediate Swordsman's level was more than enough to instruct Nanahoshi Shizuka who had a Beginner physique and zero martial arts foundation.

Loop 50, the latter half of Year 418 in the Armored Dragon Calendar, Nanahoshi Shizuka was suffering yet happy; the suffering was the feeling of being beaten by this little guy Aisha with no power to fight back, the happiness was being able to feel her own strength growing; and by mid-Year 419, her strength had reached Intermediate Physique (Qi) and Intermediate Swordsmanship.

"This past year and more, thank you all for taking me in and caring for me; this kindness I will remember for a lifetime, but please forgive me for bidding farewell to you all now.

Hmm, this is something I researched using knowledge from my previous world; it should be able to make money in this world.

Although it's still not enough to repay the kindness you all showed me, it is still a piece of my heart; please accept it, Mr. Broly, Miss Roxy..."

After Nanahoshi Shizuka spoke of her intention to venture out and make money doing business in the otherworld using her previous life's knowledge, she handed over a notebook.

Inside were recorded the otherworld version of Happy Sparkling Water she had researched in this world, as well as perfume-making techniques.

Nanahoshi Shizuka had written most of her money-making ideas into this notebook, leaving only a small half as the confidence for her to go out and make big money.

"Uh, Miss Nanase, if you just want to make money, you actually don't need to go outside."

Roxy said with a somewhat subtle expression.

"I've already received so much kindness from your family; receiving more would leave me with no way to repay it."

Nanahoshi Shizuka also didn't want to owe others too much, although she already owed a lot.

"No, what I mean is, Eris's family is the largest Noble lord in the Fittoa Region; if you just want to make money to buy Magic Crystals and Magic Stones, you can completely provide the money-making ideas to their family, and after making money, have the Boreas Family split a portion of the profit to you; you fundamentally don't need to go out adventuring."

Roxy said.

"Right, Miss Nanase, even if you want to do business yourself, you'll most likely still have to deal with some Nobles and cooperate for profit sharing; rather than cooperating with unknown Nobles, better to cooperate with the Boreas Family behind Eris-sama, or cooperate with Second Princess Ariel who often comes to visit our family to see Sylphy."

Maid Lilia also said a line.

Nanahoshi Shizuka: "..."

Only suddenly discovering that beside her, there were actually connections convenient for her to make big money.

So, she had painstakingly trained her physique to Intermediate, her swordsmanship to Intermediate, bit by bit formulated a grand money-making plan — for what exactly?

The otherworldly girl wanted to slap herself twice; why didn't she inquire more about the situation of the family that took her in.

Fortunately, it's not too late to understand now; Loop 50, Year 419 of the Armored Dragon Calendar, the otherworldly Nanahoshi Shizuka reached a commercial cooperation with the Boreas Family.

In June of the same year, because the Happy Water business was booming, Nanahoshi Shizuka harvested eight Asura Gold Coins in profit sharing, exchanged through the Boreas Family into Magic Crystals and Magic Stones of equivalent value, and this person began researching the Summoning Magic Circle.

Of course, being able to have such fast progress, she also had to thank the fact that before this, she had learned some Magic Circle knowledge from Roxy.

And beside Broly's house, inside the Magic Tower built by Perugius this loop, there were stored even more magic books than in the Ranoa Magic University Library.

March 2, Year 420 of the Armored Dragon Calendar, Nanahoshi Shizuka's Summoning Magic Circle research hit a bottleneck; after she walked out of a Magic Research Laboratory allocated to her by Roxy, she heard noisy sounds from outside.

"Eh, why not? Am I not already fifteen this year?"

Eris was making a fuss about who knows what.

"In one more week, we have to trace back this loop's time; going now is not as good as going next loop, that way we can enjoy it to the fullest, right? You don't want the adventure to end anticlimactically either."

Broly's words made Nanahoshi Shizuka, who was just about to walk past, stop her steps.

"May I ask..."

"Hm?"

"What does 'trace back this loop's time' mean?"

Nanahoshi Shizuka came behind Broly and asked.

Alice seemed to have been persuaded by Broly's words, but Nanahoshi Shizuka was different.

Upon learning that this world's time would actually revert to a fixed point in the past, and that she herself would completely lose all memories of this loop in the next one, this transmigrated girl from another world felt her whole person become somewhat unwell.

She had merely hit a bottleneck in her research on the Summoning Magic Circle; how did it suddenly come to starting over from scratch — no, not even starting over, but possibly never beginning at all.

"No, the you from the previous loop did not practice Qi cultivation, nor did you research Summoning Magic; it seems your fate is not fixed on the Six-Faced World's side, and it is only in this loop that you began reverse-researching Summoning Magic.

As for the you from previous loops, the first few loops need not be mentioned, because you yourself were immersed in the sorrow of leaving your own world.

The subsequent loops saw improvement; this current loop counts as the best — in less than three months' time, you walked out of the shadow of leaving your original world."

As Broly spoke, he incidentally praised Nanahoshi Shizuka with a sentence, but Nanahoshi Shizuka could not feel happy at all.

She suddenly realized that her ability to recover her state so fast was probably related to the very kind attitude the people of this home had toward her.

As for why they were kind, she had previously thought it was because the people of this home were born loving people, but now it appeared it was entirely because Broly's whole family recognized her as an old acquaintance, which was why they could considerately care for her, letting her rapidly break free from her emotional low.

"Mr. Broly, may I ask you a question?"

"What question?"

"Since this world's time reverts, how do you and your family retain the previous loops' memories after the time reversion — is there some special method to retain memories?"

"That matter is related to the Crystal Palace I possess……"

Broly explained the situation of the Crystal Palace.

"As long as she is my wife, her memories can obtain the Crystal Palace's protection, although she still needs to agree to become my wife again in the next loop before she can recover her memories."

Unexpectedly it would be this kind of answer; for a moment Nanahoshi Shizuka did not know what to say.
