Chapter 276: Chapter 276

Seeing Sikong Wang successfully contract a B-level Magical Beast, the family heads and heirs all felt a surge of excitement.

This wasn’t a case of laboriously cultivating a B-level Beastmaster; it was a case of becoming one with just a flick of a finger. Even the Beast Taming Association can’t achieve this!

Principal Zheng, having such capability?

"I never expected the principal to be so hidden and capable. With you managing Awakener University, the future is boundless!" praised He Yao Bai, the head of the He Family, who had remained silent, "Given this, we certainly trust you with the money."

"Oh wow, this is unheard of, really such a boon to that kid from the Sikong family!" Gong Qiang gazed at Sikong Wang and that Blast Flame Tiger enviously, "That’s a B-level Contracted Beast, with 4 Advanced Magical Beast skills. If paired with me, an A-level Awakened, wouldn’t it be the perfect match?!"

Too bad, he’s not a Beastmaster, damn!

"Principal Zheng, where do these magical beasts of yours come from?" Ye Shi Yao probed, "To train so many beasts requires quite a large facility. I presume the training methods are rather special too..."

The principal’s eyebrows twitched slightly, and though Qian Qi couldn’t verbally respond to him at that moment, he had already grasped the essence of Qian Qi’s curses. He rolled his eyes at Ye Shi Yao, "Have you no shame? Do I look like someone who’d tell you? Stop wasting my precious life with useless questions!"

Seeing the principal still acting this madly, Ye Shi Yao twitched his lips and closed them, both sullen and speechless.

"In that case, there’s naturally no problem handing over the 70 billion to the principal, wouldn’t you say?" Su Xingchen said coolly, looking at the others.

The crowd just wanted to nod when the principal’s arrogant voice rang out, "What 70 billion? When did I say it was 70 billion?"

"Are you all suffering from amnesia? I said 140 billion! 70 billion is just the price for accommodating these magical beasts and training Beastmaster students. If you want a Beastmaster from your family to contract a B-level Magical Beast, that’s a different price!" the principal howled.

That’s not what you said before!

Seeing the principal raise the price on the spot, Tang Weicheng couldn’t help but stand up to say something. However, noticing no one else was moving, he quietly sat back down.

Although the principal’s spontaneous price hike was quite unscrupulous, it wasn’t a price they couldn’t afford and had to agree to. Otherwise, they couldn’t just watch as the Sikong family got a B-level Beastmaster for free, could they?

If 10 billion could get them several B-level Beastmasters, it would be a very profitable deal. If they could successfully contract with a common B-level Magic Beast, the returns could be endless.

"Since no one has any more issues, remember to transfer the money early. Once I receive it, I’ll naturally notify you to send over the Beastmasters." The principal gleefully checked the time, "Alright then, that’s it for now, I should have my meal."

With that, the principal directly ended the call.

This left the family heads who were unsatisfied and eager to discuss further with the principal, but soon, the principal received the first call.

"Principal Zheng." He Yao Bai’s voice was full of flattery and probing, "I’d like to add 6 billion on top of the 20 billion. Would you be willing to help us by providing another Beastmaster that can contract a B-level Magical Beast?"

Spending 6 billion to get a B-level Beastmaster was an extremely worthwhile and profitable move for the He Family. After all, money was the least valuable thing in this world, and for the Seven Great Families, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.

Coincidentally, what Qian Qi lacked was money.

These were beasts acquired by Qian Qi, and without her permission, the principal dared not make such promises. So, after telling He Yao Bai he’d think about it, he hung up and called Qian Qi.

Receiving the call, Qian Qi signaled to Sikong Wang, and walked off into the distance.

"What’s up?" Qian Qi asked, "Preparing to change your name?"

"Uh," The principal awkwardly cleared his throat, "The head of the He Family just said he wanted to add 6 billion for another B-level Beastmaster."

"Isn’t that great?" Qian Qi asked, confused, "Why are you asking me about this?"

"Well... these are your magical beasts, and I have no right to make such decisions." the principal thought for a moment, "Moreover, instead of fostering B-level Beastmasters for those families, I prefer if these B-level Contracted Beasts could be contracted by our school’s students. Also, I’m concerned that the He Family having a B-level Beastmaster might disrupt the current balance between the Seven Great Families..."

"Just a few B-level Beastmasters, it’s not that easy to break anything," Qian Qi said dismissively, "Since the He Family wants to put in more money, the other families will surely want to as well. They’re not foolish; they’d love nothing more than to take all 23 beasts for themselves."

The principal thought about it and realized Qian Qi was quite insightful, knowing that those families wouldn’t give up such a great opportunity easily.

"As for our school’s students..." Qian Qi said lightly, "Don’t worry, I have plenty of beasts. As long as there’s money, cultivating a few B-level Beastmasters or C-level Beastmasters for you is no problem."

The principal inhaled sharply.

He had thought these were the limits, but Qian Qi actually had more?

"Didn’t I say you could pick one? Have you got your eye on one?" Qian Qi asked.

Oh heavens~! The heavens have truly opened their eyes! Qian Qi is being so generous!

"Can I really~?" The principal’s eyes gleamed slightly, Qian Qi’s words clearly implying that ordinary people could also become B-level Beastmasters!

If everyone could become a B-level Beastmaster, who would fear the apocalypse then!

"Of course..." Qian Qi said, and then added with an "Ah", "Not necessarily. If you’re not qualified, you might only be able to contract a C-level Magic Beast."

"Qualifications?" The principal felt he was sniffing out some secret, "What do you mean by qualifications...?"

"Qualifications naturally mean..." Qian Qi’s tone shifted, "Hehe, I’m not telling you~"

So annoying! If you don’t want to tell him, then don’t just divulge halfway!

"However..." Qian Qi squatted in a dark corner, rubbing her chin, "6 billion is too little, don’t you think, principal?"

Her tone turned very sinister, "This was supposed to be for the students at school, now using a student who could have become a B-level Beastmaster’s future to satisfy their greed...6 billion, isn’t enough!" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel•fire.net

The principal immediately chuckled sinisterly, "You’re right, if the students found out they were supposed to be B-level Beastmasters but the families took their only slots, who would want to join and serve these families in the future? So... there must be more money!"

In the dark corner, they both laughed sinisterly at the same time...
