âThank you, Shiling.â Taking the paper airplane that Liu Shiling had given her, Xiao Mei said happily, âI heard from my mom that youâve adopted that big ginger cat that often appears around our residential area?â
Liu Shiling nodded, âYes.â
âSo cool! I tried feeding it ham sausage and small dried fish, but it wouldnât even pay attention to me!â Xiao Mei said with a mixture of admiration and envy.
A short-haired girl who was obviously older than the other children and was likely in elementary school said, âItâs just an ugly and dirty fat cat. I donât know what you guys are fussing about.â
Xiao Mei laughed, âDa Lu, didnât you also try to feed it before?â
Another child chimed in immediately, ââDa Luâ was scared off by the cat the last time she tried to feed it. She almost fell over, I guess she has a score to settle with that cat!â
âI didnât!â The short-haired girl, known as âDa Luâ, glared at him.
âI saw itâŠâ

The short-haired girl walked up to the little chatterbox, and, towering over him with her height, intimidated, âI didnât!â
âIf you say so⊠why are you getting angry?â The small boy muttered and hid behind Xiao Mei, clearly a bit scared of âDa Luâ.
The short-haired girl said to Xiao Mei, âWhatâs the big deal about folding a paper airplane? Anybody can do that. I can fold one too, and I bet my airplanes will fly higher and further than hers!â She then turned to Liu Shiling, âDare you compete against me?â
âNo, Iâm going to have dinner with my mom.â Liu Shiling shook her head.
For her, competing with others in paper folding, especially paper airplanes and seeing whose flies further? That was simply unfair â for the others. freÄnovelkiss.com
âNo, we must compete! If you lose, youâre not allowed to play here anymore!â The bossy short-haired girl commanded one of the kids to fetch two pieces of A4 paper.
She shoved one of the sheets into Liu Shilingâs hand and started folding without waiting for an answer.
âShiling, itâs okay to compete with her. Even if you lose, you can still come over to play, or you can come to my house. I have a lot of dolls, and electric cars and airplanes,â Xiao Mei whispered to Liu Shiling.
Although she spoke quietly, âDa Luâ still heard her. She glared at Xiao Mei while continuing to fold her paper.
Xiao Mei glared back at her without backing down, âIf you bully Shiling and me, Iâll tell Aunt Yang!â
Da Lu grunted, âTattletale, traitorâŠâ
Liu Shiling glanced back at her mom, who was still chatting with the other ladies, showing no signs of leaving anytime soon. Sighing helplessly, she started slowly folding her piece of A4 paper.
Xiao Mei squatted down in front of Shiling, then lowered her head so that Shiling could fold the paper on her back. This was more convenient.
Similarly, Da Lu called a little boy, who she had previously âintimidatedâ, to act as her âsmall tableâ. The little boy looked heartbroken but, in the end, he followed her orders quietly and served as a âsmall tableâ.
The fact that these peers of similar age in the complex always succumbed to âDa Luâsâ âintimidationâ was not entirely because they were physically dominated and were scared of being beaten up. More than that, they had become accustomed to following âDa Luâ around and obeying her commands from a young age.
After finishing her paper airplane, Da Lu vigorously breathed on the planeâs nose, then threw it with all her might.
However, her plane veered off and plunged into the nearby flower bed, not flying far at all.
In contrast, Liu Shiling, who had been folding her paper airplane leisurely, pinched it between her fingers and casually launched it. Her plane, though slow, soared steadily and only landed after several seconds.
The boy who had just served as âDa Luâsâ âsmall tableâ went rushing out to pick up her paper airplane first, then went and fetched Liu Shilingâs. Raising Liu Shilingâs paper airplane high, he loudly announced, âLiu Shiling wins! Liu Shiling is the new Paper Airplane Queen!â
âDa Luâ snatched her paper airplane furiously, crumpled it into a waste paper-ball, and threw it into a nearby trash can. Her aim was pretty accurate.
Liu Shiling didnât feel much joy. After all, she had known the outcome before she even started folding her paper airplane.
She could now exert a minor influence on the paper objects she folded, or other lighter objects, within a certain range. Although it was very weak and nowhere near as strong as her control over the coin or the A4 paper that Xiang Kun gave her, it was enough to help her paper airplane get a smoother âtakeoffâ.
Moreover, as soon as she saw the airplane Da Lu had folded, she knew it wouldnât fly far. Even without using her âmagicâ help, she could easily come out on top.
âYour airplaneâs wings should be larger, and its body smaller. And when you throw the airplane, you should throw it lightly and upwardâŠâ Liu Shiling kindly shared her techniques for folding and launching paper airplanes.
As a future great wizard with âhuge dreams and ambitionsâ, Liu Shiling naturally wouldnât keep such small skills as folding paper airplanes to herself.
But before she could finish her sentence, Da Lu suddenly exclaimed angrily, âWhat are you so proud of? Arenât you just a child born from an infidelity?â
The remark was completely unexpected, and the smile that had been on Liu Shilingâs chubby face instantly faded.
The next moment, to the children surrounding her, the world seemed to be muted. All sounds disappeared, even the air stood still, and their thoughts seemed frozen.
Xiao Mei, Liu Shilingâs closest companion, could feel a strange tingling sensation on her scalp and on the skin facing Liu Shiling;
At the feet of Liu Shiling, a few clumps of grass close to her were uniformly slightly âbowingâ towards her;
Near those blades of grass, several ants that were âmarchingâ had come to a complete halt, their antennae all pointed in the direction of Liu Shiling;
The two coins that Liu Shiling always carried with her had, under her perception and control, quickly âjumpedâ out of the pockets inside her coat and fallen down her sleeves to her handsâ one in each hand.
The incident that happened in September had a tremendous impact on Liu Shiling and her family. She and her mother had even moved out of their long-time home to live in Star City because of it.
It was then that she began her âPath of the Great Wizardâ, starting with a âMagic Coinâ she received from Uncle Bald.
She never asked her mother about that day after it happened. But it didnât mean that she had forgotten about it.
On the contrary, many of the words spoken by the people who came to make trouble that day became slowly comprehensible to her over time, even though she didnât understand those words at the time.
Upon hearing what the short-haired girl said, the memories of that day immediately flooded her mind.
In the past, Liu Shiling was indeed the kind-hearted pushover her mother always worried about, always assuming the best of people. So even when she faced conflict, disagreements, or bullying among different circles and circumstances, even when she burst into tears, she never once truly lost her temper or confronted others.
The only exception was that day last September; even then, her main emotions were fear and panic.
However, todayâs Liu Shiling is not who she was, her heart holds no fear; only anger.
Others can insult her, they can insult the âCustard Pieâ, but no one can speak ill of her mom â thatâs her âinverted scaleâ.
The usual Liu Shiling is a HelloKitty; but once someone touches her âinverted scaleâ, she immediately transforms into an enraged tiger.
Uncle Bald brought her into the âMagic Worldâ and gave her the power of a âtigerâ.
In her two clenched fists were two coins. With these two coins, she felt as if she were connected with the land under her feet, the air around her, and all the nearby objects. She felt as if she could do many things she couldnât do before and knew many things she didnât know before. She felt an unparalleled power.
She glared at the short-haired girl, looking lost. She wonât let anyone speak ill of her mom!
Sheâs angry!
She wanted to vent her anger!
The coins in her hands were itching to move.
But as soon as she had that thought, she remembered who gave her the coins, who gave her the magic, and she remembered Uncle Bald and the things Uncle Bald had told her.
âMagicâ stuff must be kept secret, not even her mom can be toldâŠ
âMagicâ canât be used arbitrarily on ordinary peopleâŠ
Yes, she is no longer âordinary kidâ Liu Shiling now; she is âGreat Wizardâ Liu Shiling.
With her hands in her pockets, Liu Shiling turned around and walked towards where her mother was. She didnât do anything.
After the fierce wind, thunder and lightning, it was now calm. The storm was over.
In fact, from the moment the short-haired girl âDa Luâ said those upsetting words to Liu Shiling until she suppressed her anger and turned away, it only lasted a few seconds.
But that sudden tranquility and strange atmosphere didnât just affect the children in Liu Shilingâs vicinity, but also the faraway mothers chit-chatting, they all sensed something was off and turned to look.
However, by this time, Liu Shiling had already walked up to her mother, took her motherâs hand, looked up and said, âMom, Iâm hungry. Letâs go home and cook.â
âOh, okay.â Shilingâs mom hesitated a little and then bid farewell to the other moms, holding her daughterâs hand, they left for home.
As for Xiao Mei and âDa Luâ and the other children, they slowly snapped out of their daze after Liu Shiling turned and walked away.
âYou made Shiling mad! Youâre unreasonable! Youâre a bully! Iâm not going to play with you!â Xiao Mei gave the short-haired girl a shove and ran home with the paper airplane Liu Shiling gave her.
The other kids felt the same way; they thought that âDa Luâ had upset Liu Shiling with her words. They didnât dwell too much on the strange sensation they earlier felt and admired Liu Shiling for being fearless even in front of âDa Luâ, who is taller than her.
âDa Luâ, the short-haired girl, bit her lower lip and looked at the departing backs of Liu Shiling and her mother, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately remained silent and, just like Xiao Mei, went home.
Being a mom, Shilingâs mom had a good sense of her daughterâs emotions. Even though Liu Shiling didnât say anything, her mom could keenly sense something was off with her.
âShiling, did you just have a quarrel with that first-grade girl?â Shilingâs mom tentatively asked. Though she claimed to be chatting with the other mothers, in reality, the majority of her attention was on her daughter. Even if she couldnât hear what the children were saying to each other, she could still roughly guess from their demeanour. Her daughter had been competing with the short-haired girl from first grade to see who could throw paper airplanes better, and it seemed the competition was getting intense.
âSheâs upset because the paper airplane she folded doesnât fly as well as mine,â Liu Shiling answered, somewhat distracted.
Despite Uncle Baldâs advice, Liu Shiling held back and didnât explode on the spot, but that doesnât mean she was able to let it go.
On the contrary, the more she thought about it, the more frustrated and suffocated she felt.
She didnât know that the girl nicknamed âDa Lu,â a first-grade girl whose father had business dealings with her own father in the past. Thatâs why, when her father had come to visit her and her mother during Lunar New Year, he had run into Da Luâs father in the residential complex and they had a brief chat. Da Luâs father had originally planned to take the opportunity to pay a visit to cement their relationship, but after figuring out the reason why Shilingâs mother had moved to Star City and mentioning it to his wife, Da Lu happened to overhear.
Liu Shiling only knew that what Da Lu had said really angered her.
Infuriated her.
Because of this, she couldnât even taste her dinner, she ate half a bowl less of rice, and significantly less of the other dishes. When she got home and saw the âCustard Pie,â she didnât feel as happy as before.
Liu Shiling felt like she simply had to vent.
Uncle Bald had once told her that if she encountered a bad person, she should first report to the police and let them apprehend the culprit.
If Da Lu slandered her mom, then she was definitely a bad person, so the police should be able to arrest her!
But if she reported it to the police, her mom would definitely find out. She would become aware of what Da Lu had said beforehand, and instinctively, Liu Shiling did not want her mom to hear those words, thinking it would make her mom sad.
So, she couldnât report it to the police.
After dinner, Liu Shiling sat on the balcony holding âCustard Pie,â looking outside.
Shilingâs mom, who was watching TV in the living room, thought her daughter was just playing with the cat and didnât think much of it.
But in reality, Liu Shiling was watching a few windows on the eighth floor of the building diagonally across, because, during the evening, she heard from Xiao Mei that Da Lu lived in Unit 803, Block 7.
She wanted to take revenge in a way that would not be discovered by others and her âmagicâ would not directly affect individuals.
She recalled her most frustrating experiences when she was not yet a âmagical girlâ â one was not being able to eat delicious food, and the other was not being able to watch cartoons.
No kid could resist good food and cartoons.
Preventing Da Lu from eating delicious food was likely impossible, but preventing her from watching cartoons was something she might be able to do.
Liu Shiling quietly turned to look at her mom, who was watching TV in the living room, through the sliding glass door. Seeing that her mom wasnât paying attention to her, she took out her two coins and stared at the balcony of unit 803 on the 8th floor of Block 7, where she believed Da Lu lived.
During winter vacation, no matter if they were in kindergarten or had just started elementary school, eating dinner and then watching cartoons is the greatest pleasure for the kids.
Whether theyâre watching it on a TV, a tablet, a cellphone or a computer, they all need electricity.
Liu Shiling planned to use her âmagicâ to cut off the electricity supply of
7, unit 803.
She hasnât successfully tried anything like this before, but she thought it should be doable.
Before she officially started âcasting her spell,â she waved to the big ginger cat beside her: âCustard Pie, go sit over there, squat in the corner.â
However, âCustard Pieâ just glanced at her and went back to licking its paws, showing no intention of moving.
Little Fatty Girl sighed, got up and carried the chubby ginger cat to squat in the corner, then returned to her previous seat. She looked at the two coins in her hand:
ââChocolateâ and âIce creamâ, Iâm counting on you.â
A few minutes later, the entire complex lost power for two seconds, including Liu Shilingâs house.
After the power was restored, Shilingâs mom naturally looked first at her daughter sitting on the balcony and was stunned to see Little Fatty Girl sprawled out on the floor, fast asleep.
âEh? Eh, eh! Shiling, Liu Shiling! How did you fall asleep on the balcony in this cold weather? My heavensâŠâ
Shilingâs mom, of course, quickly stood up and went to the balcony to pick up her daughter. The big ginger cat also followed them in, it actually didnât want to be on the balcony in the first place.
Liu Shiling didnât sleep much, waking up in less than three minutes. But now that her mom had noticed, she naturally couldnât continue to secretly âcast spellsâ on the balcony. Moreover, from her last attempt, it seems she canât specifically target a single room or house â once she makes the power go out, the entire area is affected.
In her own room, Liu Shiling held her tablet and logged into her QQ account, sending a voice message to Uncle Baldâs QQ: âUncle Bald, are you awake? Chicken Wing Sister, are you there?â
A few seconds later, an image of a grilled chicken wing was sent back.
Liu Shiling understood, the one now chatting with her was âBarbecue Wings Sisterâ â Uncle Bald could really sleep!
Liu Shiling thought a bit, then sent an audio message about the problem she encountered.
âBarbecue Wings Sister, I want to make the power go out in one of our neighborhoodâs houses, but my âmagicâ can only cut off the entire neighborhoodâs electricity, is there any way to only cut off one houseâs?â
Xia Libing, on the other side, also sent an audio message over: âTell me how you did it before?â
Liu Shiling began to softly communicate her thought process via audio messages, and under Xia Libingâs questioning, explained some parts of her âmagic systemâ.
Xia Libing didnât dismiss Liu Shilingâs words as childish or trifling, despite the fact she was communicating with a little girl who was still in kindergarten. Xiang Kun had told her that Little Fatty Girl was the first âDeveloperâ to have established a connection with the âSuper-connected Objectsâ and developed her own âSystemâ. She also knew that Little Fatty Girl had âdevelopedâ many abilities that even astonished Xiang Kun. At least in Xiang Kunâs Super sensory Item System, Little Fatty Girl was absolutely a âStrong Oneâ and a âSeniorâ.
So Xia Libing didnât just directly guide Liu Shiling according to her traditional understanding of some knowledge, but first carefully asked and tried to understand Liu Shilingâs âMagic Systemâ established on the basis of Xiang Kunâs various abilities. Using the âMagic Systemââs way of thinking, she applied it to her knowledge of other things, and then explained it to Liu Shiling.
The two of them chatted for over three hours via QQ audio messages, Liu Shiling even continued communicating with Xia Libing using her tablet even after her mother urged her to go to bed, hiding under the quilt.
Xia Libing proposed several ideas and solutions, Liu Shiling contemplated and thought them over, and found the most feasible was to have âChocolateâ or âIce-creamâ, one of the two Coin Guardians, placed at the target location, and then âcast a spellâ with her new understanding of âmagicâ to stop the electricity of only one house.
âBarbeque Wings Sisterâ said she might not be able to implement this method now, but the other methods were not things that could be accomplished in a short term either. She had to vent⊠no, it was get mad, so she needed to achieve this as quickly as possible, so this method at least had the potential to be realized soon.
After organising her thoughts with the help of âBarbecue Wings Sisterâ, Liu Shiling now had to solve one problem, and that was how to put the coin in the target location.
If she herself directly went to Building 7, Room 803 to secretly place it at the front door, whether it be placing the coin, recovering the coin or casting the spell, all may be witnessed by others. The best thing would be if she could directly place it on the balcony or window sill of 7
803 that faces their side. In that way, she could âcast the spellâ from her own balcony.
Should she directly throw it from her balcony?
Although she could now control the coin to levitate and fly to a certain extent, it could still only be kept within a certain distance. The balcony diagonally across was a bit too far, she could not control it at such a long distance and make the coin land accurately at a specific location.
As Liu Shiling was lying in bed, hugging her tablet and rolling about while thinking, she suddenly sat up, looked at âCustard Pieâ drowsing on the sofa cushion and was struck by a thought: Maybe she could let âCustard Pieâ bring a coin over?
She remembered how âCustard Pieâ had climbed onto the windowsill of her room before. It was absolutely capable of climbing and completing this task.
The problem was, would âCustard Pieâ understand her instructions?
According to Little Fatty Girlâs beliefs, normally speaking, the cat should be able to understand her. But there might be exceptions, for example, âCustard Pieâ might be rather stupid.
Dressed in her pajamas and barefoot, Little Fatty Girl first opened the door a crack and sneakily peeped out, finding that her mother had gone back to her room to sleep, she went back and picked up âCustard Pieâ â or should say dragged âCustard Pieâ â and tiptoed out of the room, going to the balcony.
Liu Shiling took a coin and placed it in her palm, held it in front of âCustard Pieâ, and then pointed to the balcony of 7
803 across the way, saying, âCustard Pie, you take this coin and put it on the edge of the balcony over there, when you come back Iâll give you something tasty.â
The big ginger cat simply raised its paw and flicked the coin in his palm to the ground, then meowed.
Liu Shiling understood âCustard Pieâsâ meaning, and shaking her head said, âItâs not about playing a game. I want you to put the coin over there.â
However, after several attempts, âCustard Pieâ showed not the slightest intent to share its masterâs burden, which made Liu Shiling quite dejected, it seemed this plan was not feasible.
Liu Shiling crouched on the balcony, playing with a coin held by the chopsticks that Xiang Kun had given her. She was coming up with a new plan.
Although her mother always forbid her from playing with chopsticks when not eating, she had previously discovered that holding these chopsticks, no matter the time, allowed her to concentrate better, her memory improved, like she was smarter. So, when she was thinking or âpracticing magicâ, she especially liked to hold these chopsticks.
After five minutes, Liu Shiling stopped her chopstick movements, she suddenly came up with an idea.
âAfter all, she would have to use paper planes!
As Liu Shilingâs floor was lower than 803 diagonally across, so to shoot a paper plane upwards and for it to stop near there, the difficulty was quite high. Moreover, adding a coin to a paper plane influences both the centre of mass and the total weight and has a significant impact.
So, Liu Shiling ran back to the living room, secretly tore a few pages from the calendar to use as materials â materials such as A4 paper were too soft and couldnât support the weight of a coin.
Then, Liu Shiling started to design the origami of the A4 size paper that Xiang Kun had given her, the process of folding this paper allowed her to perceive a lot more, such as How would the size of a crease bring about what kind of flight variations, deviations, load, she could sense it all in order to optimize it, finally achieving what she wanted and a paper airplane that could fulfill her flight plan.
By one in the morning, Liu Shiling finally completed the design of the paper airplane, she happily ran to the balcony, ready to experiment with it.
She was going to place the coin in the specially created âCoin Compartmentâ on the paper airplane, then throw the plane out, relying on her initial guidance of the coin to manipulate the plane, giving it a stronger initial velocity, and to fly in the direction and trajectory she intended, the ultimate goal being to land on the edge of the balcony of 7
803.
As for the recovery, it should be easy to manage, she could knock it down from the balcony edge with another paper plane, or have âCustard Pieâ retrieve it â getting âCustard Pieâ to bring the coin to a specific location was a little difficult, âCustard Pieâ couldnât understand it, but to bring back the coin or paper plane from a pre-determined location, that was something âCustard Pieâ could definitely do.
It was so late now, she obviously could not interfere with âDa Luâ watching animations, but Liu Shiling was still going to experiment in advance to make sure there was no problem with the paper planeâs âoperationâ. Tomorrow during the âgolden timeâ for watching animations, she could then immediately implement her plan for the spell to cut the power.
However, what she didnât expect was that, when Liu Shiling took the completed paper airplane out to the balcony, she saw what looked like someone standing out on the balcony of 803.
