Host: Qi Yan
Age: 18 years old
Race: Human
Magic Power: ★
Magic: Take Over Magic - Anime Soul.
Character Card: Ulquiorra Cifer...
Watching Ulquiorra's character card quietly waiting in the system panel, Qi Yan was very excited.
Qi Yan was originally just a high school graduate on Blue Star. Half a month ago, due to an accident, he transmigrated to the Fairy Tail world and also awakened a gacha system.
That's right! It was the system from just now.
The system can draw deceased characters from anime. After Qi Yan takes them over, he can use the character's power to fight.
It's just like playing Genshin Impact.
However, the system requires the host to bind with a Guild. After binding, in addition to one fixed monthly draw opportunity, completing tasks within the Guild can earn more draw opportunities.
Since he came to Fairy Tail, he naturally wanted to bind with the Fairy Tail Guild. After all, he was more familiar with Fairy Tail and preferred its atmosphere.
Moreover, Fairy Tail is the strongest Guild in the Fiore Kingdom. Binding here would allow him to accept more tasks.
Qi Yan walked to the request board and looked at the various requests displayed there.
The requests on the first-floor request board did not have clear classifications, but the system panel displayed their respective ranks.
Requests with a reward of 1 million J or more were marked as A-rank tasks. Completing one A-rank task would reward one draw opportunity.
Requests with a reward between 500,000 J and 1 million J were marked as B-rank tasks. Completing two B-rank tasks would also reward one draw opportunity.
Requests with a reward between 100,000 J and 500,000 J were marked as C-rank tasks. Completing ten C-rank tasks would reward one draw opportunity.
As for rewards below 100,000 J, the system no longer marked them.
This meant that if he wanted to get a draw opportunity, he could only complete tasks with a reward of 100,000 J or more.
Qi Yan first looked at tasks with rewards between 100,000 and 500,000 J.
Eliminate the snow mountain beast Vulcan, wipe out bandits, kill forest monsters... In the Fairy Tail world, 100,000 J is roughly equivalent to 5,000 RMB. Getting 5,000 RMB or more for a single task could be considered generous, but that's for a Mage. For example, fighting the beast Vulcan, if it were ordinary people, twenty adult soldiers might not even be a match for one Vulcan. When calculated this way, this amount of reward seems quite cheap.
Qi Yan glanced at this level of tasks a few times and then stopped looking. It wasn't about the reward; it was because completing ten such tasks would only give him one draw opportunity. A round trip for one task would take at least two to three days.
Ten tasks, even if he didn't rest, would take at least a month. One draw opportunity per month meant twelve per year. Including the one given by the system monthly, that would only be twenty-four in total.
It was far too few. According to the system, the pity system guarantees a gold character in 100 draws. It would be a long time before he could get another gold character.
No, he had to take on more difficult tasks. And more difficult tasks offered more rewards. In his previous life, he was poor; in this life, he definitely wanted to be rich.
Soon, Qi Yan selected a task. He took the request form and walked towards Mira.
"Mira, I want to take this job."
Mira was surprised to see Qi Yan pick a task so quickly: "Are you starting work so soon? You could familiarize yourself with the Guild first."
Qi Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No need. I'm already so poor I can't even afford food. If I don't work, I won't have money to eat."
He had been in this world for half a month and hadn't been doing well. Without money for food, he had to sleep in the wilderness.
On his way to Fairy Tail, he even encountered bandits. If the system hadn't given him a free draw, and he hadn't drawn a blue Chunin, he might have failed before even starting. He scrounged some money from the bandits, which allowed him to reach Fairy Tail.
Now he had very little left. His desire for money had reached its peak.
"Hehe!"
Mira couldn't help but laugh when she heard Qi Yan. Most Mages in the Fairy Tail Guild were in this state, too lazy to work until the last minute, only remembering to work when they were truly out of money.
"Let me see what kind of job it is... Hmm?!"
Mira was surprised when she saw the job description: "Wait, I can't approve this kind of job. I need to consult the Master. Please wait a moment, the Master will be back soon."
"Master?"
Qi Yan hadn't met Makarov when he arrived at the Guild.
Just then, an old man in a yellow trench coat and a jester's hat walked into the Guild with a scroll of paper.
"Master, you're back!"
Mira immediately went to greet him.
Makarov looked at Qi Yan beside Mira: "Hmm? A newcomer?"
"Yes, my name is Qi Yan. Please take care of me."
Qi Yan bowed respectfully. Although the other party was a small old man less than a meter tall, Qi Yan knew that this small body contained world-destroying power.
Makarov's signature Titan Magic could expand him to the size of an island, and his Super Magic Fairy Law, when fully unleashed, could even defeat the Alvarez Empire's million-strong army.
Moreover, the old man treated Guild members like his own children. All of this earned Qi Yan's respect.
Makarov raised his hand in greeting: "Oh! Please take care of me too!"
Then, "Hmph!!"
Makarov let out a soft exclamation, pushed off with his legs, and jumped onto the second-floor railing.
Everyone in the Guild looked over.
Makarov held up a thick stack of documents in his hand, his face displeased, and said:
"You're all causing me trouble again, aren't you? Take a good look at how many documents the Magic Council has sent over."
"First, Gray."
"Huh?"
A shirtless boy wearing only underwear looked disdainful. He hadn't caused any trouble.
Mira smiled and reminded him: "Gray, your clothes."
"Ah~!! I forgot again!"
Gray quickly went to find his clothes.
"There was nothing wrong with your pursuit of the bandits, but after that, why were you walking around the streets without clothes? In the end, you even stole someone's underwear that was drying on their balcony and ran off."
Gray suddenly looked a bit embarrassed: "Uh... being naked isn't very good..."
Elfman retorted: "Then don't be naked!"
Makarov then looked at Elfman and sighed: "Sigh! Elfman, you actually used violence against your client?"
Elfman scratched his cheek awkwardly with his finger: "Because he said I wasn't a man!"
"Cana! You went to the client's place for a job, and secretly drank their wine cellar dry. To prevent being discovered, you diluted the wine in the barrels with water."
"...Was I discovered?..."
Cana also felt a bit guilty.
"Loki, you provoked Master Mikerro's granddaughter."
Mikerro was a Councilman of the Magic Council. Makarov had been scolded quite a bit by Mikerro during his visit to the Council this time.
"Next, Natsu."
"Eliminating monsters, destroying roads, pursuing fugitives, destroying six civilian houses, guarding a merchant caravan but burning their goods, eliminating bandits and also burning the victims' belongings..."
Listening to Makarov list Natsu's misdeeds, Qi Yan was truly startled. He knew this guy could cause trouble, but he didn't expect him to be so capable of causing trouble.
"Alzack, Levy, Krov, Liddus, Bisca..."
"You lot! You always make me get scolded by the Councilmen..."
Makarov suppressed his anger, and the air became oppressive.
Then Makarov's tone softened: "However... those Councilmen can go eat dirt!"
Makarov used magic to ignite all the documents in his hand.
"Listen well, all phenomena that transcend common sense are born from common sense. Magic is not a miraculous power, but rather the manifestation of our inner 'ether' aligning with the 'ether' in nature. Magic is the result of condensing spiritual power and concentration, no, it's the result of pouring in one's entire soul."
"If you care about what the higher-ups think, then magic will never progress. Don't be afraid of those fools on the Council. Forge ahead on the path you believe in!"
"This is what a Fairy Tail Mage is!!!"
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!!!"
Everyone in Fairy Tail cheered. Although Qi Yan had just joined Fairy Tail, his emotions were also infected by the crowd. He was now a member of Fairy Tail too.
Soon, the Guild returned to its usual lively scene. Everyone drank, chatted, and boasted, looking very boisterous.
Mira took the request form to Makarov and said: "Master, Qi Yan wants to take on this job. I can't decide, please take a look."
"Oh, what kind of task is it? Let me see."
Makarov took the request form.
Eliminate the Phantom Bandit Gang: Task Reward: 700,000 J.
