Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

In the city there was no map. Aiko was reconsidering her life choices and her reckless approach, but quickly realised it was pointless.

She would always wreak havoc and insult nasty people, it was but an inevitability. Nobody would be able to stop it, and she didn’t plan to stop.

”So, what do you do in this situation? Outfits!” Aiko nodded her head seriously. She already looked like a slut, so how bad could it get?!

...

The answer was... very bad.

”Why is this skintight?!” Aiko was currently trying on assassin clothes. She already abandoned the ’kunoichi’ version, since the skirt was so short pretty much everything could be seen.

She also disliked the ’towel’-type lingerie, bandages were fine, but more wedgies were not!

”Ugh, what’s next?” Aiko already dreaded what was the next outfit, but thinking carefully, the skintight one was the least outrageous one as it at least covered everything.

”They should’ve included a bra.” Aiko nodded her head seriously, she was not too thrilled about running around with perky nipples.

”Symbiote suit... that’s the one from the slimes, huh?” Aiko tilted her head. She touched it slightly, but the inside immediately turned into a dozen tentacles.

”Nope, nope, nope.” Aiko immediately regretted touching that.

”I know that the Twins would love this, but this is just not my thing.” Aiko shook her head. She wondered what other deranged things she would find.

”How about I just burn it.” Aiko immediately considered the simplest and easiest approach. She wouldn’t need to bother with new clothes, and she wouldn’t have to be worried about the body.

Just burn it, wait a few... days? And then just explore the ruins of once glorious forest!

”I mean, I didn’t do that before because of the loot, but who can stop me now?” Aiko snorted unhappily. Since those wolves didn’t drop anything and only the leaders might possibly drop something, everything should be fine.

”Oh, not quite...” Aiko scratched the back of her head. ”I do remember some wolves were sent flying quite a far away, so I won’t be able to retrieve the loot from them.” She was seriously considering getting a hammer instead of a bat, since at least a hammer wouldn’t have such a ridiculous knockback.

Aiko sighed gently. There were so many options, but...

”This has a funny name that tickles my fancy.” Aiko giggled.

[Napalm]

[Description: Let it buuurn~]

”Yep.” Aiko nodded her head happily, but there was a slight issue with this.

[Price: 10,000 Soul Points]

”Gosh...” Aiko groaned unhappily. This price was quite steep considering she wanted to get more tails.

”Let’s see...” Aiko narrowed her eyes.

”I will first buy this.”

[You have used 10,000 Soul Points to get an additional tail!]

[You have used 10,000 Soul Points to get an additional tail!]

”And since I have more leftovers, let’s also buy this.” Aiko knew that she would need a lot more Soul Points to max out her tails, but this purchase should ease her worries greatly.

[You have purchased [Napalm]!]

”Whoa, there goes my 30k.” Aiko clicked her tongue. Amassing wealth felt much better than using it, but in this scenario it couldn’t be helped.

A canister plopped in front of Aiko, and she was considering how to use this.

”Ah, I do have an idea.” Aiko smirked.

Unlawfully taken from NovelFire, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.

[Pressured Garden Sprayer]

”How about I water some flowers and trees~” Aiko danced around before picking both the [Napalm] canister and her [Pressured Garden Sprayer].

...

Walking outside, she could spot a few wolves, but the moment they saw her, they just ran away at the fastest speed possible.

”Tracking inside a forest is hard. Trying to map the forest is also hard. Trying to battle inside the forest is a pain in the arse.” Aiko repeatedly nodded her head. ”Conclusion, arsonist approved scenario!”

Aiko started to pump the [Pressured Garden Sprayer] in order to ensure even spread. And the more she would spread this, the more beautiful the flames would be, at least that’s what she thought.

”I will have like 3 [Pressured Garden Sprayer] to use before I run out.” Aiko nodded her head seriously.

However, one sniff and she immediately regretted all her decisions.

”IT BUUUURNS.” It burned Aiko’s sensitive nose, even when she was not a Fox. Not to mention, she was not supposed to feel anything like that!

”THAT’S IT! I’M COMMITTING A WAR CRIME!” Aiko immediately ran inside the safe area.

Meanwhile, the wolves looked over, but once she left the safe area, they immediately booked it with horror inside their eyes.

Aiko currently had a tight military outfit, with a gas mask and everything. It was kind of funny and horrifying sight, and that was not definitely because of the round things named:

[Tear Gas Grenades]

[Jumping Grenades]

”Kekeke~” Aiko immediately picked up the [Pressured Garden Sprayer] and sprayed it on the field, inside the forest and pretty much everywhere where she could get without elaborate jumps and anything like that.

”This should be fine, right?” Aiko didn’t know how much napalm she should use. She also never used it before, but the instruction did have a warning with ’eternal flames’ and whatnot.

”Only one way to find out.” Aiko happily skipped the gasoline-like forest and arrived at the plains.

”Should I use this one, or this one?” Aiko tilted her head. She read the instructions, but they sounded so funny that she didn’t know what to think about it.

A grenade that bounced once before breaking into multiple parts and exploding? A gas grenade that caused crying?

”It’s so underwhelming.” Aiko shook her head, but she wouldn’t judge it for the time being. Maybe it was amazing?

She first used the bouncing grenade and honestly...

”The bounce was nice, but the explosion was quite tiring and not colourful...” Was Aiko’s review of her product. Overall, a lot of quality things that are only useful in certain situations.

She hoped that the other grenade was better, but it only exploded like a fart and that was it.

”Am I overkilling this...?” Aiko backed off until she was almost at the safe area.

”Well, I don’t know what will happen, so maybe this is better?” Aiko conjured a huge fireball through her magic.

”Here goes nothing.” Aiko threw that huge fireball into the middle of the plains.

*BOOOOM*

Not only was the explosion spectacular, but it also set off a chain reaction.

The napalm was lit ablaze causing a secondary explosion that reverberated through the entire forest.

”Gosh-” Aiko was knocked back into the safe area, where she was safe from the aftermath.

Black smoke was rising towards the sky as the trees were burning viciously. It almost seemed like it would rain, but even rain wouldn’t be able to douse that fire.

Nothing could stop this impending apocalypse, unless it was a boss monster from later Waves.

Nodding her head, Aiko really wanted to go outside, but seeing everything crumble and burn, she decided not to.

So what if she lost a bit of loot, with this kind of destruction, it was safe to assume that she would be able to clear this place without any issues!

”Maybe I should try the mortar too? What about combining it with napalm?” Aiko cackled just thinking about the combinations she could do.

”There was also something called chainsaw, I wanted to test that.” Aiko nodded her head. While there were many unfamiliar things, she didn’t question it too much since this place was already too strange.

The only thing I can do is to wait for this burning to finish.

”Why the hell not, let’s go sleep.” Aiko nodded her head and didn’t care about the aftermath. Her walls were thick enough that she could simply ignore anything and everything that was going outside.

...

With a peaceful rest, she returned to the doors to see what was happening outside.

”Whoa!” Not only did everything burn to ash, the theme didn’t change, so she could still loot everything!

”Unless I defeated the other Waves too I should- Whoa!” Aiko turned to the side, seeing a huge wolf covering its head crying. It was shivering from something, maybe the destruction.

”Loot?” Aiko’s eyes sparkled.

The wolf heard that and immediately shook its head. It was not a target! It was here to plead for its life!

”What? You are not loot?” Aiko felt disappointed. She didn’t even consider taking it for transportation purposes since it was not cute enough.

”You will show me around?” Aiko tilted her head.

”Hmmmmm...” She was considering her options, but a wolf steak didn’t sound too bad.

”I blame how the forest looks.” Aiko nodded her head seriously. ”Can you find all the loot that is scattered around?” She tilted her head.

The wolf desperately nodded its head.

”Whoa~” Aiko felt like she gained something incredible.

”Alright~” Aiko hummed. ”We can join forces after we have gathered all the loot~!” She was not stupid. It felt like if the wolf disappeared or joined her side, this Wave would be over, and she would lose that loot!

She didn’t want that to happen, so she was carefully considering all options and acting on it.

”Alright, I will ride on you, so just take me to where the loot is located~” Aiko hummed as she jumped on the back of the huge wolf.

’Soft...’ Aiko immediately nuzzled it. No wonder her tails were so addictive when something like this was so nice~!

”Gosh I will even consider grooming them.” Aiko nodded her head.

Unbeknown to her, her prayers were heard by a certain Fox and a brush manifested in her hand as her body laid motionless...
