Salted Fish System, Automatic Upgrade

A Hundred-Year-Old... Loli?!!!

Nanako's eyebrows twitched as she puffed up her cheeks in anger, her face turning red, with white steam billowing from her head enough to lift her wizard hat.

She closed her eyes, her eyelids twitching frantically.

Her small hands clenched tightly inside her sleeves, trembling with rage.

This detestable fellow, how dare he refer to his respected master with such a title in his mind!!

You're the hundred-year-old loli! Your whole family are hundred-year-old lolis!

This is... this is absolutely unforgivable!

This awful disciple, who usually seems so honest, who knew he had such thoughts hidden away!

And he's concealing many more unknown secrets.

No!

I absolutely cannot let him know that I can hear his thoughts.

I must thoroughly investigate him!

She ground her teeth in frustration as she thought.

"My disciple," Nanako stood on her tiptoes and patted his shoulder, saying seriously:

"Since you can now stay in Winter Spring Valley, go back and rest well. Don't leave your quarters these few days, your master needs to go somewhere!"

Hearing this, Lynn looked at her with longing and concern:

"Master, how long will you be gone?"

"Two or three days!"

His expression became spirited.

"Yes, Master, I understand! After this test, I deeply realize how weak I am now, so I hope Master can return quickly to teach me new magic. I'll wait for you at home!"

Lynn pressed his palms together, his expression serious and full of determination.

"Please!"

Nanako felt touched and was about to speak.

Then she heard Lynn's thoughts.

[Hahaha! Has this loli dog finally figured it out?! I've been waiting three years for these words!]

[Finally, I can properly be a slacker. Me, going out? What a joke! What normal person likes to go wandering around for no reason?]

[Every day being forced by my loli master to learn those kindergarten-level magic spells, I was about to explode! O(∩_∩)O Haha~ What a relief!]

Nanako: "(grinding teeth)"

Well.

I shouldn't have wasted my emotions.

This detestable dog of a disciple!

{grinding teeth}.

"Wait obediently for my return!" she said through gritted teeth: "First, copy the basic magic knowledge five thousand times, I'll check when I return!"

Lynn: "???"

[Homework during vacation?! Isn't this too cruel? Five thousand times? Are we slaughtering pigs? What decent person assigns homework?!!]

[This hundred-year-old loli has no honor!]

[Damn it! When I reveal my true self, I'll definitely pin this evil loli master against the wall and spank her! Five thousand times!! I'll keep my word! (╬￣皿￣)!]

S-spank?

Five thousand times?

Nanako trembled, one hand unconsciously reaching behind her.

After his mental rant, Lynn put on a determined and serious face again:

"Don't worry, Master! I will definitely complete the task you've given me! I promise!"

Nanako responded in a daze: "G-good... luck..."

......

A few minutes later.

Nanako rode her broomstick through the howling wind, holding down her large witch hat as she quickly flew to the magic library.

She rushed inside, her eyes scanning everywhere, searching for books about projections, possession, demons, and related topics.

Finally.

In a dusty corner deep in the library, she found a relevant tome.

'Encyclopedia of Demon Projections and Evil Spirit Possessions'

"My disciple must be possessed by an evil spirit!"

Nanako's expression was serious as she quickly opened the book, her large eyes rapidly scanning the magical text.

"If it's evil spirit possession, there's still a way to solve it, but if it's a demon projection, we're doomed!"

Although being able to hear her disciple's thoughts was very strange.

What concerned her most were the pieces of information she heard in those thoughts.

A second-rank mage with just one five-billionth of magical power!!

Such power probably only belongs to divine beings!

She quickly flipped through the pages, reading aloud several methods to test for evil spirit possession or demon projection.

"Demons and evil spirits are naturally suppressed by holy aura, and in environments rich with holy power, they will inevitably reveal their true form..."

She muttered to herself, then closed the book.

......

Meanwhile.

Lynn leisurely walked back to his quarters with his hands behind his back.

As the disciple of Nanako, the seventh executor of Winter Spring Valley, he naturally had his own independent courtyard.

However, because he had appeared too stupid these past three years, his frustrated loli master had revoked his right to live there.

She forcibly moved him to her own magic tower.

His loli master's reasoning was that this would make it easier to teach and supervise him.

So, they became roommates.

Although Lynn felt somewhat guilty about hiding his true strength from his loli master.

But this couldn't be helped.

"If I don't stay low-key until I reach max level," Lynn stroked his chin and said, "If the divine beings discover me now, wouldn't I just end up dead?"

Lynn wasn't from this world.

He was a transmigrator.

He vaguely remembered that when he transmigrated to this world, it was about 5000 years ago.

At that time, Winter Spring Valley didn't exist in the Violet Continent yet, and magic was still in its primitive period, but he still managed to rise to power in that era, becoming one of the strongest beings on earth.

If you read history, you would definitely find stories about the Seven Kings of Violet Continent in ancient records.

And he was one of them.

But it was precisely because he was too high-profile then that he ended up being farmed by the divine beings, who harvested him like leeks.

If it weren't for his possession of an ultimate artifact that could achieve nirvana and rebirth at that time, he probably would have been completely harvested by the divine beings.

But the price of rebirth was...

Losing all power and becoming an ordinary person.

However, Lynn wasn't worried.

[Ding! You took a breath, your magic power +1]

[Ding! You yawned, your constitution +1]

That's right.

This was the key to his rise in the first generation.

The evil [Ultimate Slacker System]!

In other words, as long as he slacked off and did nothing, he would receive system rewards.

Though not much, but bit by bit, given enough time, you would eventually become a god.

Previously, he fell from grace because he was too hasty.

So this time, he learned his lesson.

He absolutely wouldn't emerge until he reached max level!

Yes! He wouldn't!

"Let's go back and take a nap first!" Lynn yawned.

"The improvements from one nap are equivalent to several months of training for others..."

......

Two days later, the sun cast a fish-belly white glow in the east.

[Ding! You had a sweet dream, you feel very comfortable, magic power +1]

[Ding! You comprehended the forbidden spell 'Nine Heavens of Ice and Fire' in your dream!]

[Ding! You've slept continuously for over 24 hours, rewarded with Strength Points x200]

On the bed, Lynn was sleeping soundly.

A bubble expanded and contracted at his nose.

At this moment.

A fair small hand slowly reached over and popped the bubble on his nose with one finger.

Lynn opened his eyes drowsily.

Then he immediately saw a pair of ice-blue eyes staring intently at his eyes, less than five centimeters away, with a loli's fragrance wafting over.

"Holy crap! Master! You scared me!"

Lynn's eyes snapped open in shock, staring widely.

Then he saw a loli wearing a blue magic robe with two blue ponytails standing prettily by the bed.

Those ice-blue eyes blinked repeatedly, looking both cute and adorable.

"Get up, the sun's about to shine on your bottom!" Nanako tilted her head and said:

"Aren't you happy to see your master return? Today master will take you somewhere, get ready!"

Lynn let out a breath, revealed a smile, and said: "Yes, Master, very happy! Where are we going? To practice?"

[I don't want to see you at all... I'm not happy at all... I don't want to go anywhere...]

[It's only just noon now, I was just about to take an afternoon nap, being disturbed when I was sleeping so comfortably, this is really an annoying thing!]

[Damn it! Evil hundred-year-old loli! You interrupted my slacker life!]

Nanako's temple twitched ever so slightly.

A large cross-shaped vein (╬) popped up on her forehead.
