Cultivation Struggles of a Lowly Fox

”Kekekekke” Aiko had a brilliant idea to combine an incendiary grenade with her sling.

”Oh, I pity those fuckers.” It might be a bit dangerous since she had to get a bit close, but the thing that would happen after that, especially since there was no river close to the village, and they would have to run towards it~!

Aiko bought a few incendiary grenades to use on this and her sling.

She then used a small thread to tie the pin and wrapped it around her finger.

This way when she launched the grenade, the thread should be strong enough to release the pin, and then she would just have to wait until it exploded.

”Hm?” Aiko suddenly noticed a new place. It seemed like this one was built after the wolf disaster.

”Training grounds? Testing grounds?” Aiko tilted her head, but then smiled from ear to ear. ”Don’t tell me~”

Don’t tell her that she could use anything and everything inside for just a small price!

This would end up in a disaster down the line, but for now, Aiko was only using grenades and how they acted and reacted to her sling.

”So difficult.” The testing grounds were great, but testing her actual weapons was not.

The main problem was that the grenade would lose a lot of speed because of the string pulling on the pin.

She needed a slightly more elaborate way to release the pin if she wanted to use it outside.

”It’s great that I found this.” Aiko nodded her head seriously. It would be bad if she didn’t test this beforehand.

She even blew herself up a few times, making it seem like this was more dangerous than she expected.

Fortunately, this was a testing ground, so there was no damage at all. She didn’t need to worry about burns or anything since those flames would be extinguished almost immediately and nothing would go ablaze, even if she accidentally hit hay on the side of the houses.

”This place is the best~” Aiko squealed as she pulled out a mortar. ”Oh how much I wanted to test you~” She kissed the mortar a few times before loading it with napalm bombs.

*Thump*

The mortar sent it flying far away where it exploded, but you could also set it up so that it would explode after a certain amount of time elapsed.

”I need stronger mortar.” This one was too weak to use later down the line, but plenty strong right now.

”What should I do next~?” Aiko hummed, testing several other bombs. Especially those nasty shrapnel ones.

Aiko tested shurikens. Blade fans. A fan that looked like a blade but could be unfolded. A spear that was actually a flag, giving an AOE buff.

”I didn’t think there were so many cool things.” Aiko didn’t want to spend too much money on the more advanced things, but now seeing them in action she really wanted to buy them.

”As if! They are too expensive.” Aiko still didn’t believe it was worth it. Maybe if someone used them for her, and she could get those buffs, then she would agree wholeheartedly!

”But for now.” Aiko cackled again, and you know she just came up with something ridiculous.

She pulled out a... golf club...?

”Kekekke~” Aiko picked up a modified grenade and-

”Thunk*

She saw the grenade flying far away before-

*BOOM*

”Kyyyyaaaa~! This is the stuff~” Aiko squealed. This is what she was looking for, but she would have to extend the time on the explosion.

”Now to test it with the incendiary type~” Aiko hummed, going for more grenades and testing them.

The first tests went well, but over time Aiko got crazier and crazier, even trying to do trick shots.

Stolen story; please report.

”This is the stuff~” Aiko hummed happily. It seemed like she would have a lot of fun time here~!

...

After a few days she was satisfied and headed home. She had a plan, a bit expensive, but a plan that she liked a lot.

She would use the gold club and grenades to start fires and then pick them one by one with either the sling or carpet bombing through the golf club again.

This made her very happy, since those clubs were for free and only the grenades cost anything, it would be quite the easy weapon to use.

She also considered that fan blade, because it looked so cool, but it was too difficult to use, since the fan was pretty much the size of her body when unfurled.

”How difficult~” However, Aiko didn’t mind at all. Mei might be able to help her with this.

”I don’t want a sword, but that one is too cool.” Aiko squirmed. She didn’t want a sword, but she was tempted if the sword could transform.

”Wait...” Aiko suddenly smirked. ”I heard that those Cultivators could use flying swords...” She cackled.

”What if I used that blade fan as individual swords when necessary?” Aiko already had a few ideas of what she could do, but she already had a lot of work on her plate, so she was a bit less enthusiastic about it than she hoped.

”I don’t know what to do first.” This feeling only increased the more cool things she encountered. It took a lot of time to research, make and adjust everything. It was honestly draining, and the final product didn’t feel all that satisfying making the whole process that much more painful.

”One day I will make something like this necklace and be happy with it.” Aiko nodded her head a few times before stiffening.

”Wait, necklace?” Aiko looked down and sure enough, her boobs were squeezing a pretty necklace, one that she didn’t wear before.

”What is this doing here?!” Aiko was speechless when she saw that familiar necklace that trapped Ghosts.

”Hmmmmm...” Aiko pondered about this necklace and why it suddenly appeared.

”No, maybe it transformed the moment I put that necklace from the shop?” Aiko tried to find a justification why this necklace suddenly appeared here when the rest of her stuff was supposed to be bought.

”Wait!” Aiko made a bridge out of her body. ”WHY DIDN’T I BUT THE FLYING BOAT PERMISSION?!” She screamed like she just realised something important. ”DAMMIIIIIIIT!”

She went to the shop immediately to purchase the permit, but...

[1,000,000 Soul Points]

*PFFFT*

Aiko turned into a blood fountain. She couldn’t believe that they were robbing her like this!

So what if it made this whole system trivial!? She wanted to uuuuse iiiiit!

”Gosh...” Aiko sighed. She was quite angry about this, but there was no one to complain to.

”System...” Aiko put on a serious expression, but the system didn’t reply.

”Damn bastards I know you are listening!” Aiko screamed. What was this injustice?! Why should she suffer?!

”I will torch them!” Aiko pulled out those incendiary grenades and walked out of the safety area.

[...]

[Is she gone?]

[Yeah, but we need to be more careful.]

The system felt relieved that Aiko went out.

[What was uncle thinking when he did this?]

[Why are you asking me? Both of us are shut inside here taking care of the Princess.]

[That might be true, but you are supposed to be a reliable guy!]

[Oh, shut it.]

...

Aiko stepped outside with the golf club.

That’s right, club, ever so similar to a bat.

[All effects are active.]

That means she could apply all those effects at once!

”Who knew this would be such a good weapon.” Aiko chuckled. She didn’t even care that this was supposed to be a recreational toy. Well, considering that Aiko counted this as recreation, she was not wrong...

She slightly parted her legs as she leaned forward for the first shot.

Her first draw would release the pin, while her actual swing would send it flying.

It was a bit dangerous to do it like this, but Aiko was confident that nothing would happen to her.

Why was she confident? Who knew, but she knew she would succeed! She had to! She needed to vent!

*Thunk*

The grenade was sent flying away.

”I hope the timer is right...” Aiko was concerned that she would miss the timing.

The range on this was much greater than on her swing for some reason, but she wouldn’t complain. As long as it delivered her gift, then everything was alright~!

Aiko smirked as she saw the grenade crash into the first village.

”Nothing?” Aiko titled her head. She didn’t forget to set off the pin rig-

*Boom*

One house was set ablaze and the fire quickly spread.

The river was some way away, so those uglies were forced to gather the water from there.

However, they were smarter than Aiko expected.

”Hey! Using wolves is cheating!” Aiko yelped. Not only were they quick, but they would be able to gather a lot of water, rendering her hard work useless!

”This is not fair! You are supposed to be stupid!” Aiko was livid, but then some wolves turned and ran towards her.

”Hm?” Aiko tiled her head.

The wolves with riders were heading her way, probably spotted her and assumed that she was the culprit.

Well, she was, but let’s not talk about such baseless accusations!

”Haha!” Aiko laughed. ”Those fuckers really believe I’m so easy to bully?!”

She immediately emptied a bucket of golf balls. Those things were nasty and hard and would cause them a lot of trouble if not death.

*Thunk*

Aiko sent one flying.

”Okay~” Aiko cackled. She missed the wolves, and they snickered at her, but... not for long.

*Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk**Thunk*

Aiko was like a fucking minigun, shooting one golf ball after another, hitting not only the wolves and riders, but trees and anything in her path.

The wolves were whimpering. The riders were dead on the spot and the trees cried as holes and indents were made into them thanks to Aiko.

”Who’s snickering now, huh?!” Aiko snickered them as she kept firing those balls.

Just in case she brought over 20,000 balls, just in case she needed some spare. So saying that she had limitless ammunition was not a stretch.

The other goblins noticed what was happening, but when they noticed the onslaught, they shrunk back and would rather get more water than to actually fight her?!
