"By the way, Boss Han, what reward did I receive this time?"
Thinking about rewards, Ganyu's face filled with anticipation.
That manga, Doraemon, was incredibly interesting.
All the strange gadgets inside completely overturned her imagination.
For example, the Dream Confirmation Machine.
It could pinch your face to determine whether you were dreaming.
Although it didn't seem particularly useful, it was undeniably a wildly creative invention.
Ganyu felt she had truly broadened her horizons.
Han Feng smiled faintly and glanced at the system panel.
The information had already refreshed.
[Customer: Ganyu — Finished reading Doraemon]
Reward: Weight Regulator
Weight Regulator:
Can change the weight of living beings or objects.
Each notch represents 1 kilogram.
Turn clockwise to increase weight.
Turn counterclockwise to decrease weight.
[Customer: Cloud Retainer — Finished reading Tom and Jerry]
Reward: Tom Cat Liquefaction Ability
Tom Cat Liquefaction Ability:
Allows the user to liquefy freely and transform into various shapes.
The Perfect Diet Tool
"This Weight Regulator is something Ganyu will definitely love."
Seeing the reward, a hint of amusement appeared in Han Feng's eyes.
He knew very well how much Ganyu cared about her weight.
And this gadget—was basically every dieter's dream.
No medicine.
No dieting.
No exercise.
Just press a button and turn the dial.
It couldn't be more convenient.
As for Cloud Retainer's liquefaction ability, it wasn't particularly surprising.
Keqing had already obtained a similar full ability before—otherwise she wouldn't be able to transform into a catgirl now.
Rewards Appear
Buzz—
Buzz—
Two brilliant beams of light descended and enveloped Ganyu and Cloud Retainer.
Moments later, the light faded.
In Ganyu's hands appeared a pink device.
"This… this is that dieting gadget?"
Ganyu's eyes lit up instantly.
Because she cared so much about her weight, anything related to slimming down always caught her attention.
In the episode where Nobita's mother tried to lose weight, this magical tool had left a very deep impression on her.
"Yes. It's called the Weight Regulator. Aim it at a target—turn clockwise to increase weight, counterclockwise to decrease. Each notch equals one kilogram."
Han Feng explained with a smile.
"That's wonderful!"
Hearing the confirmation, Ganyu's face filled with excitement.
With this gadget, she would no longer need to diet.
Previously, to maintain her figure, her meals had been extremely simple.
She even avoided eating her beloved Qingxin flowers.
Even when Miss Yae brought some for her, she could only place them aside reluctantly.
But now—she could finally enjoy them freely.
Testing the Device
"Let me try it out!"
After calming down, Ganyu held the Weight Regulator eagerly.
Her gaze swept around the shop before landing on the slime in front of her.
"Y-you're not planning to use this Adeptus as a test subject, are you?!"
Seeing Ganyu's suspicious look, Cloud Retainer suddenly felt uneasy.
She had heard Han Feng's explanation earlier.
She definitely did not want to test this effect.
"Cloud Retainer, just once."
Ganyu smiled gently.
Then she aimed the device and pressed the button.
She turned the dial clockwise by one notch.
"Huh? Nothing seems to have changed."
Cloud Retainer blinked.
Wasn't it supposed to adjust weight?
Why didn't she feel anything?
She even hopped in place twice.
"Looks like one kilogram is too light…"
Ganyu murmured.
Then, an idea struck her.
She immediately turned the dial all the way to the far right.
Instantly, a massive force of gravity crashed down onto Cloud Retainer.
Her slime body couldn't withstand it.
SPLAT!
She collapsed into a puddle of liquid on the floor.
Ganyu: (⊙⊙)
Keqing: (⊙⊙)
What just happened?
How did she suddenly turn into liquid?
Was the Weight Regulator really that terrifying?
Emergency Fix
"Ganyu, remove the weight from this Adeptus immediately!"
A voice came from the puddle on the floor.
"Oh—right!"
Ganyu snapped back to her senses.
She quickly aimed the device and adjusted the dial back.
The immense pressure vanished instantly.
Cloud Retainer focused her will—and the liquid on the ground slowly gathered together, reforming into her slime shape.
"Sigh… this slime body is far too fragile."
After recovering, Cloud Retainer looked helpless.
With her power as an Adeptus, that shouldn't have happened.
But the sudden surge of weight, combined with the weakness of the slime form, had caused her to collapse into liquid instantly.
Thinking about the liquid state, Cloud Retainer grew puzzled.
Did slimes normally have such an ability?
Clarification
At that moment, Ganyu asked the question she cared about most.
"Boss Han, why did Cloud Retainer turn into liquid just now?"
"That's her reward—she can liquefy at will and transform into any shape."
Han Feng explained.
"So that's it."
Keqing, standing behind them, finally understood.
Her own cat-transformation ability included the same feature.
No wonder it felt familiar.
"I was wondering why I hadn't noticed earlier—so that was the reward!"
Cloud Retainer suddenly realized.
And honestly, she was quite satisfied with it.
Although it seemed unimpressive at first glance, liquefaction could avoid a great deal of damage.
Just like moments ago—when she couldn't withstand the weight, she simply turned into liquid instead of being crushed.
Compared to her previous two rewards, this one was far more practical.
A New Realization
"That's a relief. I thought the Weight Regulator itself caused the liquefaction."
Ganyu finally relaxed.
If the device could literally crush things into liquid, that would have been terrifying.
Then suddenly, another idea flashed through her mind.
"Wait—besides dieting, this gadget can help move heavy objects!"
If it could change weight,
then for items that were difficult to carry, it would be incredibly useful.
It could save enormous amounts of manpower and resources.
"Looking at it this way…"
Ganyu said with awe,
"This gadget is practically a divine tool."
