As soon as Lan Qingyou saw this item, she immediately exchanged for it and began her inspection.
The object was about 1.8 meters long and slender like a pole. The upper part was curved into a shape resembling a question mark, while the lower part flared outward.
At first glance, it looked like a long broom. Upon closer inspection, you would realize that it was, in fact, exactly that: a broom.
【Magic Broom (C)】
【Energy: 0/1000】
【Effect: Automatic Cleaning】
【Description: A broom that provides fully automatic cleaning as long as mana is supplied. It frees your hands, allowing you more time to enjoy your leisure.】
Well, what do you know? It really was just a broom.
Except, compared to a normal broom, this one could clean automatically.
For someone like Lan Qingyou, this was essentially obtaining an incredibly convenient robotic vacuum.
Of course.
If that were all there was to it, Lan Qingyou might have hesitated for a moment.
The key to this broom lay in the fact that it could accept mana inputs. The input port was located on the question-mark curve at the top.
Earlier, Lan Qingyou had wanted to study her own magic shield, but she lacked both a starting point and the necessary knowledge to begin.
Now, hadn't that 'knowledge' just arrived?
Although the Magic Broom was only C-rank, it should be much easier to study than the magic shield, which likely started at A-rank.
At the very least, the Magic Broom certainly possessed mechanisms for mana transmission and storage.
Otherwise, it couldn't possibly require a fresh injection of mana every single time it needed to clean, right?
Thinking of this, Lan Qingyou immediately funneled some of her mana into it as a test.
Once it received the mana, the Magic Broom began to move on its own.
It hovered in the air for a moment, bobbing twice, before slowly descending to the floor to begin its work with a rhythmic 'shasha' sound.
Instantly, a significant amount of dust was kicked up on the first floor of the tree hollow shelter.
“Good grief, I didn't realize the shelter was this dirty until it started cleaning.”
Lan Qingyou immediately floated up to the second floor.
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”
Just then, the sound of Steel Wool's cries reached her. Lan Qingyou looked down and burst into laughter.
Steel Wool was being swept along like a piece of trash by the Magic Broom, rolling across the floor.
She quickly flew down and scooped Steel Wool up.
“Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!”
Held in Lan Qingyou's hand, Steel Wool let out threatening, 'roaring' squeaks toward the Magic Broom on the first floor.
Clearly, the little creature viewed it as an enemy.
“Hmm, I just put in a hundred points of mana, and it looks like it consumes about one point per minute. That means a thousand points should keep it active for over sixteen hours.”
Muttering to herself, Lan Qingyou headed upstairs, leaving the Magic Broom to finish the cleaning below.
There was one more minor, selfish reason why she had chosen the Magic Broom.
Since she was a witch, wasn't it only natural to own a magic broom?
Of course.
While she intended to use the Magic Broom for research, that certainly wasn't going to happen right now.
Lan Qingyou was self-aware enough to know that her current knowledge was insufficient to study C-rank magical tools.
In fact, she felt that a D-rank magical item would have been the ideal starting point for her.
Given her current capabilities, D-rank was the upper limit of what she could feasibly deconstruct.
E-rank equipment, on the other hand, had absolutely no research value.
Look at that—if that wasn't a textbook humblebrag, nothing was.
She was actually looking down on the very D-rank magical tools that so many others were desperate to obtain.
But since this was a freebie, she would treat it as a reserve for the future. At least having an automated vacuum while her skills were still lacking seemed like a decent perk.
Just then, the voice of the world consciousness echoed once again.
【Ding! The final person has made their selection. Thank you all for your cooperation. From now on, the Kalim continent will alternate between seven days of mana turbulence and three days of mana tides every month. Please ensure you are fully prepared.】
