Esper X Family – Chapter 10 – Squeezing a Ton of Gold Coins From the Old Man!

At this moment, the loli Mercury suddenly noticed a gaze.

Looking up, she saw a somewhat familiar middle-aged man floating in the air.

“Oh! You are… you are… uhh, who are you again?”

Mercury racked her brains.

He seemed familiar, but she couldn’t quite recall who.

Lou Wei recognized the girl but didn’t acknowledge her immediately. Instead, he scanned the area, finding no one else around.

“What happened here just now?”

Interrupted from her thoughts, Mercury gave up trying to remember.

She replied confidently, “I just carried out justice, successfully saving an innocent person from a villain.”

“Hehe~ No need to praise me. It’s the duty of Magical Girl Mercury.”

Lou Wei’s mood grew heavy as he thought about how news of Sequence 001 might have already attracted unscrupulous individuals.

Powerful as he was, he wasn’t truly omniscient nor omnipotent.

The world was full of strange and varied supernatural abilities, and he would occasionally encounter troublesome characters.

Lou Wei glanced at the problem child before him.

“Don’t wander around at night.”

Mercury puffed up her cheeks.

“How can this be called wandering? This is clearly a Magical Girl secretly protecting her city.”

Mercury didn’t want her actions to be dismissed as childish antics.

Saving an innocent person was a real achievement!

Unfortunately, Lou Wei wasn’t interested in hearing her excuses and turned around to leave.

Mercury gritted her teeth in frustration.

“Everyone underestimates me. Just wait, I’ll definitely make the name ‘Magical Girl Mercury’ known throughout the world!”

Ye Yao woke up in bed, hugging her blanket and muttering to herself.

“There’s an underground organization of Sequence Espers, and they’ve set their sights on me. What a headache.”

Originally, she had just planned to live a carefree life under the nation’s support.

Who could handle getting dragged into something like this?

“Hmm, looks like I can’t just laze around here either.”

Ye Yao suddenly remembered that the Countermeasures Bureau had a Prophet who claimed that she would destroy the world.

“How could I destroy the world? I don’t have any ambitions. What good would destroying the world do? The world hasn’t done anything to me.”

From this, it was clear that the Prophet was completely unreliable.

The Countermeasures Bureau should just get rid of them.

“No, I can’t rest easy. I need to use the Found Family System to control my power. If the world is destroyed, where will I slack off?”

The problem was that the Found Family System was too inefficient.

It didn’t seem like one of those systems from certain novel platforms ¹ Faloo and Qidian mentioned here. Speaking of the systems of other platforms, I’ve heard that Ciweimao’s systems often end up as the main character’s wife… I have no idea how. .

It needs to go back and train a hundred times before coming back here!

“Useless system, even the attribute point rewards are stingy. At this rate, how long will it take for me to become invincible?”

Ye Yao grumbled.

The only way to get attribute points was from family members.

But where would she get so many family members?

Should she casually recognize others’ moms like in Valorant?

That would indeed be efficient.

Ye Yao temporarily set this issue aside and recalled the events from earlier.

The scene of the blue-haired girl descending from the sky was still vivid in her mind.

“That magical girl… was she for real?”

Ye Yao wasn’t unfamiliar with the magical girl genre.

She had watched some of the classics like Cardcaptor Sakura, Pretty Cure, Madoka, and Sugar Sugar Rune.

But those were all fictional!

There was no way magical girls could exist in reality.

“A role-playing loli Esper? That’s pretty cute, very 2D. I like it.”

“I wonder if we’ll meet again.”

“She’s probably from the Countermeasures Bureau, right? Then there’s still a chance to see her.”

“Next time we meet, I’ll see if I can tease her. She seems fun.”

Ye Yao yawned slightly.

She had finished her walk.

And her hair was almost dry.

Time to sleep!

The next day.

Ye Yao walked out of her room with messy hair.

At a glance, she spotted a mysterious man reading a newspaper on the living room sofa.

Wait.

Looks like it’s the old man.

The elusive guy actually showed up.

Could it be that what happened yesterday really put him on alert?

Gulp .

Being watched by a stat monster was a bit nerve-wracking.

She felt intimidated.

But then Ye Yao thought again.

What’s there to fear?

She was the little ancestor ² Babies or children in general are often called little ancestors. Long story short, you have to treat old people well in Asian culture, the older the more respectful. Since children need constant care, they’re often called little ancestors. now. She could have whatever she wanted.

Even the strongest Esper of the current era had to pretend to be an ordinary person in front of her.

It’s time to squeeze some gold coins out of the old man.

Ye Yao’s eyes became determined.

So, she walked over.

Lou Wei noticed Ye Yao’s approach and put down the newspaper, looking at her.

“What is it?”

“Um, I want a computer.”

“Sure, I’ll ask a friend to prepare one for you.”

Ye Yao blinked, surprised at how smoothly the gold-squeezing was going, and decided to push further.

“The graphics card has to be a 5090.”

“Anything else?”

“The monitor has to be a 34-inch ultrawide screen!”

“Is that all?”

“And the computer case has to be an all-white Fish Tank ³ Looks like this. case, fully loaded!”

“I’ll have it ready by this afternoon.”

Lou Wei’s calm response sounded like music to Ye Yao’s ears!

Father figure!

Wait, he’s technically my father.

I can’t call him “old man” anymore.

Ye Yao was thrilled.

This was a setup she couldn’t even dream of in her past life, and now she could get it all at once. It was absolutely exhilarating.

What else was missing from her carefree life?

“Uh… I also want some pocket money.”

For Ye Yao, having enough pocket money was the final piece of the puzzle.

Buying games, online shopping, and in-game purchases all required pocket money.

Without freely disposable money, life was a failure!

“How much do you want?” Lou Wei asked.

Ye Yao instinctively countered, “How much can you give?”

This question actually made Lou Wei ponder.

“I’ll open an account for you and transfer a sum of money into it every month. If it’s not enough, just ask me.”

“Thank you!”

Ye Yao made up her mind.

Even if other Sequence Espers tried to lure her away.

She would never leave the National Bureau of Anomaly Disaster Countermeasures, this government organization!

After Ye Yao went to wash up, Lou Wei walked to the balcony and made a call, repeating Ye Yao’s requests.

“Tsk—damn, does that kid really plan to stay in her room all day? With that setup, I’d never leave my room either.”

“Stop talking nonsense. Have it ready by this afternoon.”

“Alright, alright. That kid, what normal girl her age would want that? I even suspect she shares my interests.”

“Heh~ Maybe we can create an opportunity to add friends online. It might be fun—”

“Don’t do anything stupid.”

Lou Wei hung up the phone before the other person could ramble on.

Ye Yao had finished washing up and came out.

A breakfast was left on the table.

Meanwhile, Xiao Jing was nowhere to be seen.

The Found Family System had no tasks, and the computer wouldn’t arrive until the afternoon.

What should she do in the meantime?

Ye Yao nodded thoughtfully, then had an idea.

“I’m going out!”

It was time to test the limits of the Countermeasures Bureau.

Aspects such as interpersonal relationships and activity range could all be tested.

When Ye Yao told Lou Wei about her plan, she didn’t receive any objections.

“Be careful. Call me if anything happens.”

It sounded like he wasn’t planning to follow her around.

Interesting .
