Chapter 272: Chapter 272

"Commander Lin, they said the other side brought nearly a hundred Contracted Beasts..." Li Dan reported the response from Team 4366, his tone growing increasingly puzzled, "Helped them, uh... solve the Magic Beast Tide?"

"What?" Commander Lin blurted out instinctively, "Isn’t that nonsense? Nearly a hundred Contracted Beasts? What Beast Master could command a hundred Contracted Beasts?"

"Well..." Li Dan was also unsure, "Commander, they wouldn’t lie."

Commander Lin pondered for a moment and guessed, "There might be Illusion Beasts among the student’s Contracted Beasts, creating illusions that misled them. Since the other side has the ability to solve the Magic Beast Tide, we don’t need to intervene. Maybe they could become a strong ally for us."

They had received word that the students from Awakener University were coming to assist with the sealed city, and many B-level and C-level students were following the military on the city’s outskirts to clear the remaining Magic Beasts. So, a B-level Beast Master student helping in the deep parts of the war zone wasn’t surprising.

Just as Commander Lin thought of this, he heard Qian Qi’s lion’s roar blare from the broadcast, "Damn! Another Magic Beast Tide! Guys, grab your gear and let’s take them down!"

"The scars on your bodies are badges of battle! They’re proof of abundant combat experience! They’re a symbol of increased worth! I’ll let that stingy principal know that battle-damaged Magic Beasts are more valuable! A flawless exterior isn’t the only measure of value!!!"

To make more money, you really can say anything, can’t you?

Being your principal must be really rough.

And this student’s combat ability and energy are plentiful, but isn’t she a bit too talkative?

For an entire hour and a half, Qian Qi’s outbursts intermittently echoed through the broadcast, numbing the commanders at headquarters. Finally, Commander Lin couldn’t take it anymore and shouted in anger, "Li Dan, contact her and tell her to shut her mouth!"

Her racket was blocking the broadcasts from other teams!

Li Dan cleared his throat and connected to the 4366 communicator, "4366, 4366, this is the Sealed City Command, please respond."

On the other side, in the noisy city, the loudspeaker suddenly blared, startling Qian Qi.

"What the heck?" Qian Qi had never used an unlimited communicator before and didn’t expect one to double as a loudspeaker and communicator. She patted the speaker, studied it for a long time, but couldn’t figure out how to respond.

She only remembered that typical wireless communicators had several channels, right? And you had to input the channel number or whatever? Or they had several buttons, and one of them connected directly to command?

But on the speaker, there was only one volume button!

Clutching the speaker handle in silence for a moment, Qian Qi decided to ignore the call and pretend she hadn’t heard it.

She resumed speaking through the speaker to the Magic Beasts, "We’re almost there, hang in there, damn, that Cloud-covering Soaring Eagle! Yes, I’m talking about you! Don’t crap on your comrades on the ground! Huh? You’re still going? Believe it or not, I’ll plug your backside!!"

"Plug it~ it~~ it~~~" In the Sealed City Command Post, Qian Qi’s trailing words reverberated, causing many of the listening commanders to lower their heads and stifle their trembling laughter.

Commander Lin, face darkened, rubbed his temples helplessly. He really wanted to turn off Qian Qi’s broadcast, but he was worried that her Contracted Beasts might tire out in battle and she could get into danger, so he instructed, "Li Dan, keep trying to contact her!"

"4366, 4366, this is the Sealed City Command, please respond."

"Student from the Beast Taming Department, this is the Sealed City Command, please respond."

After two repeated messages with no response, Li Dan thought for a moment and couldn’t help but wonder, "Could it be that she doesn’t know that button is for replying to headquarters...?"

Commander Lin was silent for a moment, "Is she that clueless?"

Li Dan: "Let’s try, just in case."

"Student from the Beast Taming Department... do you not know how to use the communicator?"

"Student from the Beast Taming Department... that sole yellow button connects the communication to headquarters, and we heard everything you said earlier."

The communication broadcast from 4366 abruptly stopped, and there was silence for five minutes.

The commanders immediately understood: ...

Ah, indeed, she really didn’t know that button was the one to reply to headquarters.

Sitting on the Demon Wolf General, Qian Qi was about to die of embarrassment, muttering, "I didn’t reply to them; can’t they just act like the playback function of the communicator is broken? Why expose me in public!"

Leave room for maneuver, so we can meet again in the future — don’t they understand this simple principle!!! For more chapters visit NoveI(F)ire.net

System: [You still won’t admit you’re dumb.]

Qian Qi shouted in powerless anger, "You’re the dumb one! Your whole family’s dumb!"

How could she have thought that the speaker not only amplified but also transmitted sound to the Sealed City Command headquarters!

Qian Qi picked up the speaker and pretended the communicator’s function to play headquarters messages was broken and, with thick skin, continued to direct the Magic Beasts forward, "Just hang in there, don’t run around! If you guys don’t behave, when I get back to school, I’ll secretly badmouth you to the students from the Beast Taming Department and make things difficult for you!"

Ah, she must be pretending the communicator’s broken, the way she’s trying to cover it up, how adorable...

Qian Qi was blissfully unaware she had been seen through. When she arrived near the A-level dungeon, she finally opened her Light Brain and sent her location to the principal.

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: ?

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: You’re in the Sealed City?!

[I am your uncle]: Oh my, why are you so surprised? Is it because the bodyguards you sent to protect me don’t have a hovercar, so they couldn’t track me, and therefore had no idea I was in the Sealed City? ＾＿＾?

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: ...You found out, huh. I didn’t have them follow you...

[I am your uncle]: Let’s not talk about that now, quickly send someone here, there are so many Magic Beasts, I’m scared!

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: ?

You’re scared? You’re running rampant in the Sealed City, leading 20 B-level Magic Beasts, yet I didn’t see you looking scared?

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: Send me pictures of the B-level Magic Beasts, with pictures and evidence, I can demand money.

[I am your uncle]: From the Seven Great Families?

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: Exactly, they’re the wealthiest.

[I am your uncle]: The Beast Taming Association has quite a bit of money too, I guess (～￣▽￣)～.

[Middle-aged and Afraid of Baldness]: ...Got it!

The principal couldn’t help but roll his eyes; Qian Qi clearly wanted him to ask the Beast Taming Association for money as well.

She herself, when asking him for money, could be so audacious, demanding a lot with no hesitation, yet when he had to ask the Seven Great Families for funds, it was more like begging like a grandson.

Sigh! Working is tough, Zheng Zheng sighed!
