Chapter 279: Chapter 279

After cutting the heart of the Wind Snow Ape into four pieces weighing six pounds each, Qian Qi distributed them along with the Ice Soul Xuanlong Grass to Lao Er, Lao Si, Lao Liu, and Silver.

The Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves who received the evolution materials all bowed their heads excitedly and began to eat.

The ice and moon attributes of the evolution materials reacted while digesting in their stomachs, energy constantly colliding with their evolution factors. The silver smooth wolf fur gently floated without wind, while the elegantly styled Moon Armor gradually manifested like an illusion at the center of the Moon Silver Demon Wolf’s forehead. A moon pupil suddenly appeared in their wolf eyes, resembling a moon shadow emerging from an ice lake, exuding a cold and mysterious aura.

However, Silver and the others’ bodies did not grow as majestic and large as the Demon Wolf General, probably because they didn’t have enough fat yet and needed more nutritional supplements to grow tall.

Qian Ba, looking at his three brothers who had become B-level Magical Beasts, quickly put on an innocent look, came forward, rubbed them with his cheek, and spoke in a sweet, soft voice, "Second brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, I am your only useless little brother~ The magical beasts outside are all strong and don’t need protection, only I always need you~ Without you, I can’t do anything~ So you must pamper me~"

Qian Qi, who was listening, couldn’t help but feel a shiver: ?

This combination of green tea essence and PUA is really powerful!

I’ve learned! I’ve learned!

She immediately turned to the system and said, "System Lord~ I am your only useless little host~ Humans outside are really strong and don’t need protection, only I eternally need you~ Without you, I’m helpless~ You must pamper me~"

After keeping busy, Qian Qi stored the remaining magic plant materials into the small wooden house and then took the tattered straw mat from the Glacier Valley dungeon and diligently spread it over the roof of her small wooden house.

Standing on the rooftop, she looked out at the Vegetable Garden Dungeon, where there were a total of 17 B-level Moon-devouring Sky-roaring Wolves, 45 C-level Demon Wolves, and 52 Little White Extreme Rats, and suddenly expressed her feelings:

"Who would understand, I just wanted to get some evolution materials, but ended up bringing back so many magical beasts."

Those who knew thought she went searching for evolution materials, while those who didn’t thought she was stocking up at the magical beast wholesale department.

"But keeping these Moon-devouring Wolves in the Vegetable Garden Dungeon isn’t quite right." The number of magical beasts in the Vegetable Garden Dungeon was already low; that small amount of meat was not enough to fill their teeth gaps, and there was no moon energy here, which was not suitable for them to dwell long.

"Since that’s the case... I’ll take you all out for a visit then."

Thinking of something, Qian Qi couldn’t help but smile wickedly, "A qualified contracted beast must first learn to work for its master... hahaha, hahaha~"

Two weeks later, an incident suddenly sparked heated discussion among the awakeners in Yan City.

"Hey, have you heard? Recently, several C-level dungeons near Yan City’s suburbs that were suspected to have become B-level dungeons have all been strategized."

"Heard, heard! I also heard the one strategizing the dungeons is a newcomer hired by the Dungeon Association, nicknamed something like the ingrate. They say this person is actually a B-level Beast Master, contracted quite a few B-level Demon Wolves!"

"Whoa, that’s impressive?"

"Hey, that’s not the most impressive part." An awakener mysteriously said, "Guess what’s the most impressive thing? The ingrate’s contracted beasts actually enter the already strategized dungeons on their own to hunt magical beasts and send them to the Magic Beast Recycling Station!"

"What?! Are you saying that the ingrate isn’t around the contracted beasts, and yet those beasts voluntarily enter dungeons to hunt, then go to the Magic Beast Recycling Station to sell magical beasts for money?"

"Yes! Hard to imagine, right? Now at the entrance of these C-level dungeons, there are permanent Magic Beast Recycling Station trucks waiting to collect magical beasts hunted by these Demon Wolves. If they’re lucky, they might even receive B-level magical beast corpses!"

"Gosh! Are these contracted beasts here to repay kindness? That ingrate is way too blessed! Gosh, I also want such contracted beasts that can support a family!"

"Ha! Don’t even think about it, those are B-level!"

"Wouldn’t the recycling station staff secretly pocket them?"

"Hey, who would dare! They say this newcomer has significant backing and strong connections! The higher-ups specifically ordered a ban on embezzlement; if caught, they won’t ever be employed again!"

The awakeners sighed one after another, and the "ingrate" being talked about was sitting on a little bench, with each shoulder having a Little White Extreme Rat perched on it, smiling with the corners of her mouth nearly stretching to her ears as she watched the Light Brain account where small money kept coming in.

Qian Qi: "Hehe, not only did I solve their food problem, but I also made money. How did my little brain get so clever?"

System: [... damned capitalism.]

Qian Qi glanced at the system, "I’m making all this money to support you, aren’t I?"

The system panel grinned and showed its teeth: [Long live capitalism (≧∇≦)ﾉ]

Qian Ba and Moyu are watching over the Moon-devouring Wolves, so Qian Qi isn’t afraid they’ll hurt anyone. If someone with bad intentions covets the Moon-devouring Wolves, they probably won’t get the better of them.

As for Qian Ba, staying in the Secret Realm of the Beast Taming Space isn’t a long-term solution. It’s good for him to occasionally practice in the instances with Silver and the others.

After "fostering" the Moon-devouring Wolves in the instances, Qian Qi returned to the Beast Taming Department College. Nowadays, it’s quite lively there; almost everyone has a D-level Flame Dog, actively training at the Beast Square. Everywhere you hear discussions about battle strategies.

"Dean Xi, I fulfilled your request, and I exceeded expectations too~" Standing by the window in the Beast Taming Department Dean’s office, Qian Qi looked out at the scene in Beast Square and said with a smile.

"I didn’t expect you’d fulfill the promise so quickly." Xi Mingde was quite amazed by Qian Qi’s speed.

In less than a month, even with a half-month leave, Qian Qi had nearly a third of the first-year students in the Beast Taming Department become D-level Beastmasters. Not only that, but the Magic Plant Department College also made a fortune by planting those upgrade materials, making others envious.

"Well, when you receive money, you naturally have to get things done quickly." Qian Qi modestly waved his hand and then stated today’s purpose, "I’m here to convey the principal’s instructions. Please provide a list of students with C-level Spiritual Power or above."

"What do you need that for?" Xi Mingde asked, puzzled.

"D-level Spiritual Power can’t contract C-level Demon Beasts, and C-level Spiritual Power can’t contract B-level Demon Beasts. At the Magic Beast Base, there are a few B-level Demon Beasts left that haven’t been contracted. We need to find students with B-level Spiritual Power or above," Qian Qi explained calmly, "And those C-level Demon Beasts naturally require at least C-level Spiritual Power for a contract."

Hearing this, Xi Mingde was deep in thought. Since the Spiritual Power Level and Awakened Skills Level have no relation, people always assumed Spiritual Power Level was only relevant to Spiritual Awakeners and never tested others’ Spiritual Power Level.

Who knew the Spiritual Power Level was also related to the level of Contracted Beasts a Beast Master could contract.

"Alright, I will immediately arrange for the Beast Taming Department College students to undergo Spiritual Power tests." Xi Mingde promptly contacted the Conducting Department College’s responsible person for Spiritual Power Level testing and scheduled an afternoon test.

"By the way, Qian Qi, since you can upgrade E-level Flame Dogs to D-level, can you also upgrade D-level Flame Dogs to C-level?" Xi Mingde asked tentatively. Clearly, he wasn’t satisfied with students becoming just D-level Beastmasters.

"If it’s possible, money is absolutely not an issue," he added.

Qian Qi shook his finger, "Guess what, I don’t lack money."

"Alright then." Xi Mingde shook his head helplessly, "When you do lack money, remember to come to the Beast Taming Department first, not to the Skill Department or Command Department."

Seeing Xi Mingde give in so easily, Qian Qi was a bit surprised and then nodded, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now."

After Qian Qi left, Xi Mingde lowered his head preparing to contact the Beast Taming Department tutors to arrange the Spiritual Power tests. Just as he opened his Light Brain, he saw Qian Qi’s little head pop back through the door, "Now I’m really leaving~"

Xi Mingde looked at Qian Qi and chuckled, "Go on, I won’t force you."

He could see that Qian Qi was a thoughtful child. If Qian Qi didn’t want to say anything, it was sure she had her own reasons and wasn’t refusing out of selfishness to hide something.

Qian Qi’s difficulties were something Xi Mingde could roughly guess too. The students in the Magic Plant Department were already occupied with planting Magic Plants to the brim and couldn’t spare the effort to plant anything else. Moreover, since they didn’t have Awakened Skills, planting C-level Magic Plants would be too dangerous. She couldn’t risk the lives of Magic Plant students to make Beast Taming students C-level Beastmasters.

Achieving universal C-level Beastmasters in the Beast Taming Department made a reform in the Magic Plant Department urgent.

Seeing Xi Mingde truly let her go, Qian Qi couldn’t help but think the Beast Taming Department Dean was quite decent. She didn’t refuse Xi Mingde because she didn’t lack money, but because the Magic Plant Department students were ordinary people, and dealing with C-level Magic Plants was quite risky.

So, it’s time for reforms in the Magic Plant Department!

Thinking this, Qian Qi couldn’t help but hum a little tune, "Let’s give our Magic Plant Department darlings a little magical shock~"
