Episode 11: Mengmeng Begins Learning Magic (Part One)

Early in the morning, Mengmeng had breakfast with everyone in the circular luxurious living room on the 98th floor. The breakfast made by the stone robot was very sumptuous and delicious. Each person had a "Dao Ren Cao" candy-flavored bread, as well as the "Qing Yu Hua" health porridge that everyone loves to drink, and "Xiao Yuan Shan" pickles, and so on. After breakfast, Mengmeng immediately took the elevator to the 80th floor with everyone. It was only on the elevator this time that Mengmeng discovered that the white elevator could be instantly split in half by a magic wand, with an automatic transparent glass door in the middle, and one side opening upwards and the other downwards.

Xin Xin proudly said, "The magic in our pagoda is the most powerful in the country. Everything here operates with the help of magic." Mengmeng listened thoughtfully.

Upon reaching the 80th floor, Mengmeng once again arrived at the magic training camp. Meow Grandma had arrived early and was waiting for everyone.

Meow Grandma called Mengmeng over and said, "Mengmeng, this is your magic wand. You are still a beginner student, so this is a level 1 magic wand."

Wenwen said, "Our magic wands are divided into ten levels. Levels 1-5 are for the common people in the town to use. Among the seven siblings, some of us have level 8 wands, and some have level 9 wands. None of us have reached level 10 yet."

Wenwen continued, "Level 5 can unlock the magic on all objects in the town. Level 6 can open elevators. Level 7 can control the magic that powers all the workings inside the tower. Level 8 has the ability to mobilize resources within the tower and part of the country. Level 9 has the ability to mobilize all resources transported by the 'Love Ball'. At Level 10, one can mobilize transportation across the galaxy. It is said that in ancient times, there was a magician who could mobilize the transportation of resources throughout the entire Milky Way."

Grandma Meow said, "Meimei, you must upgrade your magic to Level 5 within seven days." The other siblings all chimed in, "Seven days? Meimei only has seven days? It took us three months back then."

Grandma Meow smiled and said, "I believe Meimei has the ability. Plus, even though your godmother, the Queen, has lost her sight, if the antidote is not found within 50 days, she will lose her sight completely."

"So I hope your magic will reach level 5 as soon as possible. Then, increase one level every 10 days. I will do my best to assist you."

Mengmeng replied in unison, "I will definitely work hard. I won't let Grandma Meow and everyone down."

The first training that Mengmeng had to undergo was to quickly drill in and out of a huge fishing net, and she had to practice until she could pass the first level without touching the edge of the net. Grandma Meow said, "This is the most basic self-defense training. Because the magic powers in the Demon Kingdom are all transmitted through the 'demon light' rays. If hit by the demon light, one could be lightly burned or even have their soul scattered."

As she spoke, Mengmeng's other six siblings were very agile, weaving in and out of the various holes in the fishing net. Mengmeng couldn't help but rush into the fishing net and accidentally bumped into the net.

Meow Grandma shouted from below, "Mengmeng, you come down first. Learn how to roll on the sandpile and practice front flips and back flips in low altitude, body spins of 360 degrees, etc. Although the people of our Love Heart Country are also humans, they have to train themselves to be as agile as fish and as resilient as monkeys in order to not be defeated by the Demon Country."

Under the strict supervision of Grandma Meow, Mengmeng spent a whole day repeating various low-altitude flips. Exhausted, with the help of other brothers and sisters, Mengmeng managed to shout encouragement. Fortunately, when it was time to finish, Mengmeng finally passed the first level of magic training with great difficulty.

Grandma Meow said, "Mengmeng, the training for you next will be even more brutal. You will learn how to fly in the high-temperature iron framework and gaps. This iron frame has high-temperature light radiation from the 'Demon Kingdom,' and one misstep could lead to burns. So your training in the next few days will be more painful."

Yangyang said, "Mengmeng, don't be afraid. Once you get through the second level of training, it will be easier. Levels 3-5 are all outdoor training."

Mengmeng nodded and said, "Thank you all for practicing with me and for Meow Grandma's patient guidance. I'm fine, I will bravely accept new training tomorrow."

As everyone applauded, Meow Grandma took out an exquisite box containing a "Level Two Magic" wand. Mengmeng received the wand kicked over by Meow Grandma, tears of excitement filling her eyes. Everyone knew that while it took others ten days or half a month to practice, Mengmeng completed it in just one day. It's easy to imagine how hard Mengmeng worked.

The next day, they started training early again. Meow Grandma chanted a slogan: "Hulala, Hulala, magical spirit, with the magical power of the ten generations of gods, let the iron frame be blessed with the light of the demon, never to appear in the demon country again."

After finishing speaking, Meow Grandma shook her magic wand, and all the iron frames emitted a blue-black alternating color of light, which wriggled around on the iron frames like snakes. Mengmeng felt a little scared when she saw this scene in front of her, after all, the "demonic light" was indeed different from the light in other galaxies, looking particularly eerie and dark. The other six siblings quickly flew in and out of the holes in the iron frames. Mengmeng flew cautiously to the front of the iron frame this time, feeling at first that the "demonic light" carried a current of air that startled her. Then she still passed through one of the iron frame holes. With the experience of successfully passing through for the first time, Mengmeng's courage grew, and she continued to pass through the iron frame holes a second and third time without stopping.

As Meow Grandma spoke, she chanted a slogan below and waved her magic wand. Suddenly, the demonic light shot out from Meow Grandma's palm, and the six siblings quickly shouted to Mengmeng, "Quick, hide! This is how the demons in the Demon Country deal with us. Meow Grandma is demonstrating it live." The "demonic light" closely chased after Mengmeng, who alternated between darting around in a huge fishing net and flying through the iron frames of the demonic light. When the "demonic light" from Meow Grandma's palm met the "demonic light" on the iron frames, sparks flew, and the demonic light became even more powerful. Mengmeng accidentally screamed, "Ah!" Everyone gasped, "Oh no, Mengmeng has been burned by the demonic light!" After being hit by the "demonic light" for the first time, Mengmeng was struck by a huge impact, causing her to forget how to fly and fall straight to the ground, taking a heavy fall. Everyone quickly helped Mengmeng up.

Mengmeng was almost knocked out by the "demonic light." Meow Grandma walked over and sighed, "This is the worst situation. No matter how severely you are hit by the demonic light, as a magician from the Love Heart Country, the first thing you must remember is not to forget how to fly. At the same time, use your magic wand to fight back strongly. You must not faint, because once you faint, you will give the enemy an opportunity, and you may be struck by the demonic light until your spirit is scattered." After speaking, Meow Grandma came over holding a jade green bottle. She smiled and said, "This is the 'Light Repair Spray,' made from 'Light Repair Powder.' After spraying this on, you won't feel the burn on your back anymore. The magic wand has a 'Light Repair Spray' button, let's practice up to this point today, and we'll repeat today's practice tomorrow."

Mengmeng, however, unwillingly said, "My magic didn't level up today. Let's do it again, I'm willing to continue practicing."

Everyone advised, "Mengmeng, you are already very brave. Tomorrow you will surely pass." Jiajia said shyly, "I was burned by the demon's light for the first time, and I didn't dare to touch the magic wand for a week, let alone enter the 'Magic Training Camp'. Mengmeng, you are the hero in my heart." As they spoke, everyone laughed, and Mengmeng also smiled shyly.

On the third day, after very hard training, Mengmeng finally passed the second level of magic. Mengmeng successfully received the "Level Three Magic Wand" from Grandma Miaomiao.

Meow Grandma told Mengmeng that for the next two days, she would practice in the town on the first day and go to the "Heartwarming School" on the second day, which would be both fun and relatively easy. So, what interesting and fun things will happen in Mengmeng's magic training next? Stay tuned for the next episode.
