Chapter 900: Two People Who Both Want to Capture Each Other

"Contestant No. 36 is Miss Hell's Blizzard, B-Class Rank 1 of the Hero Association. She is an esper, and she demonstrated esper abilities like a dreamlike magecraft practitioner, continuously changing the form of the kelp-constructed uniform on her body, just as if she were putting on a costume-change show on the stage——————"

The host explained excitedly; compared to the other contestants' talent performances, Hell's Blizzard's talent performance counted as the most unique one.

She seemed to treat the stage as her own costume fashion show venue; noble bearing coupled with using esper abilities to turn kelp into various imitations of brand-name clothing styles, freely changing outfits, and also freely driving various types of clothing with her own beauty — undoubtedly displaying the beauty of wearing different outfits on herself.

Of course, laymen watch the excitement, insiders watch the doorway; esper abilities are essentially very difficult to make as responsive as one's own limbs, but now being able to achieve this effect of freely changing clothing forms, that is the result of Hell's Blizzard's years of continuous effort training her own esper abilities, training the straightforward esper abilities to have a ripple characteristic, able to freely change the direction of esper abilities————

【Originally this move was prepared to be used against my older sister later, I didn't expect it would be used by me at the beauty pageant now.】

Fubuki thought in her heart, yet still displayed on stage the esper ability free-turning technique she regarded as a trump card; it wasn't that she wasn't worried about exposing her trump card, but the atmosphere at the scene was really too heated, countless people cheering because of the technique she displayed and the changes in the clothing on her body.

Who can resist recommending their own clothing aesthetic to others, and who can resist showing off a technique bitterly cultivated for many years in front of many people?

For Hell's Blizzard who strongly wanted to gain others' approval, this was undoubtedly a shot of hallucinogen; the corners of her mouth always wanted to curve up, yet were held down tight by her, she needed to maintain the image of herself as the B-Class Hero Rank 1 in front of her subordinates and the public.

Without a doubt, at this moment, Hell's Blizzard was enjoying this stage, just didn't want others to see her enjoyment.

The two-minute fashion show performance ended quickly, the clothing on Hell's Blizzard returning to the style from before she went on stage.

Thoughts leaping, this was a manifestation of active spirit power; the fashion costume-change show performance was like letting her spirit power do a warm-up exercise, now it was in an activated state.

"Please judges score————"

Hell's Blizzard's gaze burned as she looked toward the direction of the special judges' seats; she wanted to see whether regarding her display of esper technique, that Flashy Flash could see the doorway inside.

If he could see it, buying lessons from him might truly have some harvest, but if he couldn't, it would just count as spending money to scout the path and pull closer the relationship with the other party.

"A very splendid performance, Contestant Fubuki's control of her special energy is like flowing clouds and running water; I think in daily life she should have frequently trained the manipulation of this energy————"

Broly, although not understanding esper abilities, could sense Qi; esper abilities in his perception were just like an energy bullet emitting a faint breath, the difference only being that energy bullets are visible and have destructive power, while esper abilities are more like a ball of noodle dough that can be kneaded round or flattened, controlled to adhere to objects, manipulating objects to undergo deformation.

Judging others by oneself, using the situation of energy bullet usage to deduce the situation of esper ability usage, this hand of the other party was equivalent to oneself controlling an energy bullet fired out, performing various turns and changing flight trajectories in the air, and this was something that required some training to achieve.

Although it might not be overly strict energy manipulation training (from Broly's perspective), Hell's Blizzard was after all the first capture target acknowledged by the Crystal Palace in this world, so Broly was naturally not stingy with his words of praise; the score board he raised was also a full score of ten points.

【Flashy Flash actually really could see through my esper technique, it seems his kind of flash should also be a certain kind of esper ability application————】

Fubuki thought, her face also timely revealing a smile, bowing to Broly on the special judges' seats to express her thanks for the other party giving her a high score and acknowledging her esper performance.

【Capture target, Hell's Blizzard, current Happiness Value 9, rising continuously】

In just a short two-minute performance, the Happiness Value on the other party rose by as much as 7 points; it looks like a capture target who is relatively easy to feel happiness.

Broly was very satisfied with this capture target Hell's Blizzard's potential to produce Happiness Value, although it took this long to find someone.

For the rest of the beauty pageant, Broly had no heart to pay attention to other people's performances; in his heart he was pondering how to capture the newly discovered capture target.

【So-called capture is catering to preferences and currying favor, but in a situation of not understanding anything about the new capture target, there is no way to start.

So, first is to know and understand, but how do I further get acquainted with the other party? Wait for the beauty pageant to end, then invite the other party for a meal using the status of special judge?

This seems a bit arrogant; Mosquito Girl's side should also be given a heads-up in advance————】

While Broly pondered how to capture Hell's Blizzard, Hell's Blizzard was also pondering how to capture him.

【Flashy Flash is a newly promoted S-Class Hero; the Blizzard Group is just an organization established by me, B-Class Rank 1, its attraction to S-Class Heroes is limited; to rope in the other party, I must take out things the other party looks favorably upon.

From the information obtained from the Demon Cyborg and my own investigation, that is a person obsessed with beauty; for this point, he did not hesitate to spend money holding beauty pageants everywhere.

Hmm, money can definitely attract the other party, but the Blizzard Group's funds, just roping in promising B-Class Heroes to join, are already a bit financially tight————】

An organization's initial loyalty is basically all sourced from interests; no interests, who would be willing to follow you; threats can perhaps coerce people for a period of time, but are destined not to last long; the Blizzard Group earns quite a lot, but spends even more.

【Spending large amounts of money to recruit, the purpose is to value those newcomers' future achievements, while Flashy Flash is a ready-made S-Class Hero; perhaps should consider reducing this year's Blizzard Group recruitment expenses, investing resources into recruiting the S-Class Hero————】

Hell's Blizzard pondered, and a voice calling her came to her ears.

"Lady Fubuki, Lady Fubuki————"

"Hmm, what is it, Lili?"

She looked doubtfully at Three-Section Staff Lily beside her, while the other party had also already gone on stage and performed a splendid three-section staff martial arts talent.

"Nothing, just now I called you and you had no reaction, so I was a bit worried about your condition."

"No need to worry, I was just thinking about some things a moment ago."

Pausing a moment, Hell's Blizzard asked this trusted girl beside her.

"Lili, I'll ask you a question."

"Ah, what question?"

"Do you think the Blizzard Group's members should value quality, or value quantity?"

"Uh, this, of course it's better to lack than to be excessive."

"Hmm, I think so too, but if the quality valued is too high, to the extent that it requires sacrificing the interests of more quantity members, do you think everyone would accept it?"

The current problem is, the saved recruitment expenses used to recruit the S-Class Hero might still not be enough, and might also have to sacrifice some of the original Blizzard Group members' benefits; this point made Hell's Blizzard a bit undecided, she needed to ask her subordinates' opinions.

"If it's for the Blizzard Group's development, I am willing to accept."

Three-Section Staff Lily answered without the slightest hesitation; she joined the Blizzard Group because she worshipped Hell's Blizzard, so what truly attracted her was not some benefits enjoyed after joining the Blizzard Group, such as protecting hero ranking or even raising hero ranking, but doing things by Hell's Blizzard's side.

Three-Section Staff Lily's unhesitant expression made Hell's Blizzard's gaze toward her very gentle, and she even reached out to touch this trusted girl's head: "Lili, your answer makes me feel very relieved, but others may not necessarily think like you."

"Ah, everyone admires Lady Fubuki very much; I believe as long as it's for the Blizzard Group's good, everyone definitely won't object."

Three-Section Staff Lily hurriedly retorted.

【Although I am confident in my personal charm, believing some people in the group definitely think like Lili, what about those members who haven't been in the Blizzard Group long? Would they be willing?

Additionally, I myself plan to sacrifice the interests of the original veterans in the group in order to rope in the S-Class Hero; in the end this is also a kind of unscrupulous betrayal behavior.

Forget it, think again————】

In outsiders' eyes, Hell's Blizzard is a tyrant who bullies new B-Class Heroes, but in the Blizzard Group's own members' eyes, she is a good boss who protects her own group's interests.

"Lili, do you think I can win the championship at this beauty pageant?"

"Without a doubt, the B-City Beauty Pageant champion absolutely belongs to Lady Fubuki."

"Then do you think, if I use the champion status to invite Flashy Flash to eat together, he would agree?"

"Hmm, definitely would agree; after all, Lady Fubuki is such a charming woman!"

Hearing Three-Section Staff Lily's affirmative words, Hell's Blizzard smiled helplessly.

"Let's hope so."

S-Class Heroes mostly all have their own personalities; as the face of the Hero Association, the temptations they face from the outside world are absolutely as numerous as cow hairs.

If they could be easily tempted by beauty, I'm afraid many male S-Class Heroes would have long been surrounded by scandals; how could it be like now, where the outside world hasn't spread any peach-colored news?

"Now I announce, the winner of the B-City Beauty Pageant is————"

Without any surprise, Hell's Blizzard obtained the championship.

Even Three-Section Staff Lily by her side, due to the contrast between her cute appearance and fierce three-section staff performance, won the votes for third place.

", tonight you want to treat me to a meal?"

"Yes, it may be a bit presumptuous, but I have some private matters I want to discuss with Mr. Broly, I wonder if you would grant me the honor?"

【Grant, must grant!】

Broly thought to himself.

There's just a feeling of things being completely backwards; clearly he is the Capturer.

But he didn't do anything, and the capture target came seeking him out on her own, directly inviting him to eat.

"I have time tonight, but I'll be bringing other people along, you see if that's okay?"

Although going alone would be better, he had to consider Mosquito Girl's mood.

"No problem, then I'll quietly await Mr. Broly's good news."

Hell's Blizzard was very happy; she didn't expect that a tentative invitation would result in Flashy Flash directly agreeing.

【Truly, the identity of the Beauty Pageant Champion is still useful.】

As for the other party possibly bringing other people to the appointment, Blizzard didn't mind either, because she would also bring her subordinates along.

Having agreed on the time and place for tonight's meal, Hell's Blizzard brought her subordinate Three-Section Staff Lily and bid farewell to Broly.

The Beauty Pageant concluded smoothly, the time had also arrived at noon; returning to the rented hotel, Broly found Mosquito Girl and the others to go eat the buffet gifted with the suite; after sitting down, Broly noticed the strange look on the face of the Idol Girl opposite, Vivian.

"You told her?"

Broly, eating grilled meat of decent quality, asked Mosquito Girl beside him.

"Mm, I told her.

"7

Mosquito Girl nodded.

"Vivian, then what do you think?"

Broly asked his Disciple again.

"Broly Teacher, if that can really make me stronger, then I'm willing."

Honestly, before being told by Mosquito Girl of the price required for the other Qi Refining Method, Vivian also didn't expect it would actually be throwing herself at a man; after a morning of mental struggle, now being asked her thoughts by Broly, this girl still decisively gave her answer, mere chastity alone, this price she could afford to pay.

"Looking at you answering with a forced face, even if you're willing, I'm worried I'll lose out; forget it, I'll tell you the detailed situation of the Crystal Palace again, and let you experience the other Qi Refining Method; after you watch it once with your own eyes, if you can still accept it, then we'll talk about the rest————"

While eating the noon buffet, Broly introduced the situation of the Crystal Palace to Vivian once, including his purpose of wanting Happiness Points, and the price required to make capture targets not recognized by the Crystal Palace join the Crystal Palace.

And after eating and drinking their fill, he brought Mosquito Girl and Vivian back to the room, explaining the special Qi Refining Method to the two.

Vivian listened until her whole face flushed red, just like a ripe red apple.

Of course, she wasn't a girl who didn't understand matters between men and women, but this understanding was limited to theoretical experience from watching some videos.

And the practical teaching happening before her eyes now, and at such close range, was still a first time, especially since the male and female leads were people she knew well.

"Vivian, if you want me to help you refine Qi like this, you must join the Crystal Palace and become my Partner; and becoming my Partner means we must work together to improve Strength; during the cultivation process, you still need to maintain a stable Mindset, otherwise, you won't be able to achieve the best cultivation effect————"

"I know, some women pursue exclusive love, I respect this very much, so, you need to think clearly, whether you can accept cultivating together with everyone and progressing together; if you haven't thought it through, and just join for your own strength, then you also won't get what you want."

External Wives can be cleaned out by destroying the figurines inside the Crystal Palace; Broly chose to lay out the ugly words first.

"Now, give me a definite answer; after knowing these situations, do you still want to join the Crystal Palace?"

One hour later, Broly held Mosquito Girl whose body was a bit soft, and looked at Vivian to make the final inquiry.

"Teacher, if I'm willing to join, how much stronger can my Qi Refining Efficiency be compared to not joining?"

"Let me put it this way: you refining Qi yourself is roughly a human-powered pedal bike, while me guiding you to refine Qi is a Universe Spaceship Engine.

Although Qi growth will still be limited by your own Physical Quality, the efficiency is absolutely thousands or tens of thousands of times your current self-cultivation, or even more."

"Okay, then I'll join."

"Alright, I'll invite you, you just agree."

Broly quickly created Vivian's figurine, and after the other party agreed to join, directly pulled this female disciple over.

"Broly Teacher, what is this?"

"Since you've joined, I naturally have to work diligently."

", this urgent?"

"What's wrong, you're not in a hurry to refine Qi and get stronger?"

"Uh, then, Broly Teacher, please take care of me from now on————"

"Mm, I'll take good care of you.

1

"Uh, this is still my first time————"

"Rest assured, I know what to do, just leave everything to me."
