Tokyo: My Superpower Refreshes Every Week-Chapter 672 - 670: Even Immortals Need Temp Workers

The club building, ground floor, inside the Human Observation Room.

Ayatsuki Ayaka was replenishing her energy with big bites.

Practicing the Eight-Devil King Kong Power is exhausting, and every time she finishes, she feels her appetite grows, making meals twice as delicious.

Clearly wanting to become a Superpower User, but somehow she's moving in the direction of a food lover.

Wuwu, this sad fact makes Ayatsuki Ayaka want to gulp down two bowls of rice in one go.

The fried crispy pork chop crackled in her mouth, the oil shining on her bright red lips, giving off an air of grandeur that made Takahashi Saeko envious.

For the sake of maintaining her figure, she couldn't eat like Ayatsuki Ayaka, without restraint.

A naturally slim physique is what all girls envy.

"Slow down, no one is going to take it from you."

Takahashi Saeko said as she placed a big piece of steak into her bowl. A whole steak, she only ate a small part; eating too much might cause her to gain weight.

The remaining large portion naturally benefits the "food lover."

"Hehe~"

Ayatsuki Ayaka chuckled. Dining with Saeko and the others was the happiest moment of her day.

She took a big bite of the steak, her eyes curving into smiles, helping the other three understand why some people like watching food broadcasts.

The biggest fun of watching food broadcasts is to place oneself in the position of the binge-eating blogger, experiencing foods oneself could never eat.

After all, most honest food bloggers are associated with various diseases; dying from overeating has truly happened.

The harm of binge eating is not just simply gaining fat.

Ayatsuki Ayaka swallowed the meat and took a swig of orange juice.

Ring, suddenly her phone rang. She quickly grabbed a napkin to wipe the oil off her fingertips, then unlocked her phone to check the message.

"Do you want to protect the world?

YES or NO?"

Looking at this question, Ayatsuki Ayaka blinked and decisively chose NO.

She felt it was some kind of ad page. As soon as you click YES, the game gets downloaded; such deceit these days.

Having fallen for this three times before, Ayatsuki Ayaka would no longer be fooled into downloading trash software.

She resolutely clicked NO on these matters, yet as she clicked NO, the YES button suddenly lit up.

Ayatsuki Ayaka's eyes widened in disbelief at the marketers' audacity, but the next second, the phone screen emitted a strong bright white light.

It instantly sucked Ayatsuki Ayaka inside.

"Ayaka?!"

Takahashi Saeko screamed heart-wrenchingly, reaching out to grab her, but she caught only air, watching the chopsticks fall onto the table.

The wind slipped through her fingers.

Takahashi Saeko noticed that the phone on the table was also gone, "What is happening?!"

...

What's happening?

Ayatsuki Ayaka looked utterly shocked, finding herself in a pure white space, gathered alongside many other people.

A buzzing crowd, with all sorts of languages she couldn't understand pouring into her ears, making it impossible to distinguish which language was which.

Her brain was entirely foggy; was this not a joke?

A huge light silhouette appeared ahead.

The man looked handsome, dressed in a beautiful blue and white Hanfu, exuding an ethereal aura.

With one glance, Ayatsuki Ayaka recognized him as the widely known Sword Immortal from last week!

"My name is Xuanxiao, the headmaster of the Qionghua Sect, summoning you here for a trial.

Demon creatures from another world are attempting a coordinated invasion, unlike previous instances, this one is clearly a large-scale invasion, with the location being in Alaska State.

I will deploy the magical treasures of the Qionghua Sect inside, you can use these treasures to combat the demons."

Aozawa set the game's introduction to a language everyone could understand, hence there were no language barriers, "As long as you eliminate the demons, you will complete this trial.

Those who fail will forever lose the qualification to participate in trials.

Successful individuals will receive a chance for the next trial, that's it."

With these words, Aozawa waved his large hand, his sleeve brushing through the air.

In an instant, everyone present turned into light and vanished from the space.

...

The night was bright, the twinkling stars seemed to fall from the sky of Alaska State.

One of those landed on the ground, dispersing, with Ayatsuki Ayaka standing dazedly there, facing a galaxy that could never be seen in Tokyo, formed by countless stars.

The crescent moon hung high, and a broad highway led unknown destinations, with mountains settled far in the distance.

The scenery was very much like an American road film scene.

She looked around and found a familiar face.

"Maggie!"

Ayatsuki Ayaka called out excitedly, stepping forward to hug her. In such unknown circumstances, encountering a familiar face made her uncontrollably excited.

Phoenix Academy Maggie snapped back from a daze, blocking Ayatsuki Ayaka's face trying to nuzzle close, speaking with some helplessness, "Don't call me Maggie; our relationship isn't that intimate."

While speaking, Phoenix Academy Maggie organized her thoughts.

She and Ayatsuki Ayaka being here, was it because the immortal had prepared them to be close allies for each other?

If so, that would truly be troubling.

Phoenix Academy Maggie did not want to cooperate with a rival in love.

She pulled out her phone to check; there was still a signal, and she quickly dialed her mother's number.

With short rings, she connected the call to her mother.

"Maggie, is something wrong?"

Kochou spoke with a heavy tone, fully aware that her daughter wouldn't call directly without an emergency.

"Mother, I've been selected by the Sword Immortal who appeared last week in the British Museum, he claims to be Xuanxiao, the headmaster of the Qionghua Sect, and has invited us to participate in a trial, taking place in Alaska State.

The exact location I'm not sure of yet, it's a very vast place, with only a single road, and around here..."

She glanced around, and Ayatsuki Ayaka stood faithfully by like a loyal husky.

"I have my classmate, Ayatsuki Ayaka, with me, and besides that, there are many people participating in this trial, at a rough estimate, no less than ten thousand."

"Such a thing, wait a moment, I'll contact the United States right away and call you back later."

"Alright."

Phoenix Academy Maggie hung up the phone.

Ayatsuki Ayaka stepped forward, smiling, "Maggie, could you lend me your phone to send a message to Saeko and them?"

The tone was very cautious.

Her phone card was cheap but didn't support international roaming.

Mainly, she never thought she'd be able to go abroad.

Her phone in a foreign country was just a useless piece of iron.

Unlike Phoenix Academy Maggie's phone, which could call freely domestically and internationally, there was a network everywhere.

Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't hand over her phone and asked, "Report her number, and as soon as my mother calls, you need to stop chatting."

Ayatsuki Ayaka immediately reported the number, smiled, and said, "Maggie, you're so kind." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Call me Phoenix Academy."

Phoenix Academy Maggie emphasized this sentence and sent messages to Makoto and Little Sayuri, telling them she's fine, then entered Takahashi Saeko's number and clicked to call.

Ayatsuki Ayaka took the phone, and the call was soon answered, "Hello."

The low pressure immediately reminded one of a soon-to-explode ammunition depot.

"Saeko, it's Ayaka, calling you from Alaska State using Maggie's phone."

"In Alaska State, USA?! What's going on?"

"The detailed situation is that the Sword Immortal asked us to participate in a trial last week, fighting demons; you don't need to worry, I won't be in mortal danger. Failing just means losing the qualification for the next trial.

This isn't my phone; it's inconvenient to chat at length, goodbye~"

Ayatsuki Ayaka just reassured them briefly and hung up the phone, not wanting to delay Phoenix Academy Maggie's call with her mother, "Where should we go next?"

"Let's wait for a bit, see if my mother can contact someone."

Phoenix Academy Maggie didn't rush to start the journey; she needed to think it through before setting out.

On such barren land, relying solely on legs, it's uncertain when they'd reach somewhere.

"Okay."

Ayatsuki Ayaka nodded and scanned the surroundings, curiously asking, "Do you think there might be a magical treasure under the stones?"

"How is that possible, hmm, but hard to say."

Phoenix Academy Maggie fell into thought, unable to rule out the possibility.

After all, could the other side really leave them in such a desolate place without any preparation?

She scanned the surroundings.

The starlight and moonlight wrapped the land in a silver-white veil.

Phoenix Academy Maggie was still pondering.

The action-oriented Ayatsuki Ayaka flipped over a nearby stone out of boredom and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, there's really a magical treasure underneath!"

She was just idly flipping it, but a light emerged from below.

A simple antique silver ring appeared there.

Ayatsuki Ayaka picked it up and said, "Maggie, look, what magical treasure is this?"

"How should I know?"

Phoenix Academy Maggie stepped forward, a trace of envy flashing in her eyes, "Try it on."

Ayatsuki Ayaka heard this and grinned happily.

The young lady really was a good person.

"Never mind, if I wear it, it won't be as effective as if you wear it."

As she spoke, Ayatsuki Ayaka lifted Phoenix Academy Maggie's right hand, swiftly slipped the ring onto her index finger, and avoided refusal.

With Phoenix Academy Maggie chosen, Ayatsuki Ayaka felt a bit complex inside, likely because of herself.

After all, events happening around a superpower user were nothing unusual.

No idea what principle it was.

Ayatsuki Ayaka also couldn't understand, she just knew she had a superpower shield, ensuring life safety, and the next step was to ensure Phoenix Academy Maggie's safety.

Ayatsuki Ayaka did not want to see familiar people get hurt or die before her eyes.

After all, dying could possibly mean never participating in the next trial.

"Ayatsuki..."

Phoenix Academy Maggie's expression was complex; until she died, she couldn't let this person come to harm.

Her pride couldn't accept that Ayatsuki Ayaka gave her the ring and then failed.

She didn't want to owe favors.

The ring on her right index finger spontaneously emitted light, forming a piece of text.

Whirlwind Ring: The wearer can manipulate the power of the wind.

"This is like working a temporary job for immortals."

Phoenix Academy Maggie looked at the ring's description and felt like she was a temporary worker outsourced by the Qionghua Sect.

Xuanxiao perhaps wanted to reduce Qionghua Sect's casualties, drawing ordinary people to work under the guise of a trial, giving magical treasures and making them fight demons on the front lines.

From ancient times to now, temporary workers have never gone extinct.

But Phoenix Academy Maggie had to admit that she couldn't refuse such a temptation.

Just like those temporary workers who knew their treatment couldn't compare to official employees, yet still chose to take temporary jobs.

As long as the salary is high, a little worse treatment is acceptable.

Phoenix Academy Maggie heard howling from afar, several clearly non-human shadows appeared on the horizon, and her expression turned frosty, "Ayatsuki, hide behind me."
