Chapter 327: Chapter 327

In the end, Su Xingchen still paid the bill.

[Aren’t you afraid he’ll stiff you?] the system asked curiously.

"Afraid of what? People like him know the pros and cons well, he won’t stiff me." Qian Qi dismissed it. She herself was a petty person and naturally skilled at judging people. Whether she could get the money, she had an idea.

System: [What if he really doesn’t pay?]

Qian Qi: "Then you can beat him up, I don’t believe he wouldn’t pay if he’s half beaten~"

System: [Che, why should I help you beat him up?]

"I’m making money for you, okay?" Qian Qi put her hands on her hips, "Four million, aren’t you drooling?"

The system wiped its mouth: [So this four million...]

"You didn’t beat him, why should I give you money." Qian Qi laughed cheekily.

The system raised its panel and swung it towards Qian Qi’s forehead.

Since she wouldn’t give, it would beat her up; it didn’t believe she wouldn’t pay when half beaten.

"Alright, alright, stop teasing!" Seeing the system about to explode her head, Qian Qi quickly raised her hand to stop it, "How about this, dare to play a game with me? I’ll make a few simple guesses, and you just need to respond with simple ’yes’ or ’no’. For each response, I’ll give you a thousand, how about it?"

[Ten thousand!] The system wasn’t interested in such small change as a thousand bucks.

"Two thousand." Qian Qi waved two fingers.

[Your finger is double, four thousand.] The system hinted at her past deal with Xi Mingde where she said her finger pointed at a price twice as much as others.

"Deal!" Qian Qi clapped her hands, "First guess, the reason an underground dungeon is underground is that it has humans in it."

The system was taken aback.

Damn, how does she know that?

Which step did it miss? How did she guess that? When did she guess that?

"I’m asking you, hurry up~" Qian Qi poked the panel.

[... Yes.] The system was silent for a moment and finally answered reluctantly.

A loss, such a big loss!

This question could’ve sold for three billion! But it went for just four thousand!

"Then... is an instance actually a part of a world in terms of geographic location?"

What the hell? How does she know this one too? Impossible? How did she guess this?

[... Yes!] the system replied through gritted teeth, this one question originally valued at seventy billion!!!

"Some instances belong to different geographic locations in the same world?" Qian Qi’s eyes widened after saying it, staring closely at the system.

Damn it, such a big loss!

[I won’t answer anymore!] the system said angrily, [Transfer eight thousand quickly!]

Qian Qi chuckled, seeing the system’s reaction, the answer was also "yes"~.

As expected, all her guesses were right. Those instances were "map fragments" from other worlds. She didn’t know the reasons why these places were "projected" or "existed" in this world.

This also indirectly proved why underground dungeons were so precious. Because the magic beasts here knew about the existence of "humans" and "beast masters," it was easier for them to form collaborative contract relationships with humans. However, the magic beasts in ground dungeons were more ferocious and arrogant, viewing humans as food and a lowly, weak race.

National Beast Taming might rely on these underground dungeons’ magic beasts...

"Give it all to you~" Qian Qi touched the system panel and transferred the 400 million she just gained entirely to the system.

The system was instantly overjoyed and even proactively answered her third question: [Yes~~~]

"Silly system." Qian Qi poked the squiggly line on the system panel and murmured, "Who else can I spend money on other than you..."

After a good night’s sleep, the next day Qian Qi set off for Licheng.

Licheng was a very special place, covering a very extensive area. It was the largest mountain and water city in the country, boasting the world’s largest, longest, and most numerous mountain ranges — the Nine Peaks Bone Mountain Range.

But Licheng only occupied half of the Nine Peaks Bone Mountain Range, while the other half crossed the defense line and belonged to the territory of other nations. Under the Nine Peaks Bone Mountain Range flowed numerous rivers and valleys, boasting rich biodiversity, not inferior to the scenery and environment within some instances, predestining it to be beloved by magic beasts, making it the most popular habitat for contracted beasts.

Therefore, regardless of domestic or international borders, the headquarters of the Beast Taming Association and Magic Beast Base were established in the Nine Peaks Bone Mountain Range, allowing contracted beasts of varying sizes to live more freely in this world.

When Qian Qi arrived in Licheng driving a hovercar, she could see certain peaks where enormous magic beasts lazily stretched their bodies, lay in snow piles sunbathing, played and frolicked with other beasts, or nibbled on tree branches, filling the air with a peaceful, harmonious vibe.

Licheng didn’t seem like a human city but rather resembled a city of beasts.

Licheng was divided into mountain and urban areas. Only A-level Beastmasters were said to be able to live in the mountain area for free, while other beast masters only had the option to buy houses there, which ordinary people couldn’t afford.

The Beast Taming Association headquarters was established in the urban area, which was no different than any city center with all essential infrastructure and commercial areas. The only distinction was in other cities; ascending were respected. Here, it was the beastmasters who enjoyed respect on the streets.

Here, Beastmasters wore a badge on the chest of their shirt, engraved with "E~A" signifying their rank as an E~A Level beast master.

Qian Qi parked the hovercar at the entrance of the Beast Taming Association, jumped out, closed the car door, and walked towards the association.

The security guard at the Beast Taming Association entrance only saw a lad strutting carelessly without glancing around, trying to walk into the association. His eyes fell on Qian Qi’s chest, noticing she wasn’t wearing a beast taming badge, and he raised his hand to stop her, "Wait a minute!"

Qian Qi stood obediently, "What’s up, bro?"

The security guard squinted at her, "A rookie? Here to register for the beast taming badge?"

Qian Qi nodded, "Yes."

The security guard looked behind her, "Where’s the contracted beast?"

Qian Qi turned her head too, "On top of my head."

The security guard instinctively looked up at her head, and ended up staring at the 20-something snake heads of the Emperor Python King coiled on her head. The most update n0vels are published on 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

Oh my God!!! Scared me to death!

Is this guy crazy? Why is the contracted beast wrapped around her hair?

This job doesn’t mean even want to do for a single day! Standing at the door exhausting, and daily facing all sorts of strange and terrifying contracted beasts, sometimes even risk getting licked on the face by the beast’s tongue just for being ’charming and tasty’!

The previous security guard had his face licked by a beastmaster’s contracted beast and went home with a two-hundred-thousand compensation!

Two hundred thousand...

The security’s eyes suddenly began to light up looking at the little barbs on the Emperor Python tongues as he carefully inched his handsome little face closer.

The Emperor Python King spat, "Human! Get far away! You think you’re worthy to be this close to the King?"

The security guard was shocked, "A talking contracted beast?"

Isn’t that only something an A-level contracted beast could do? Did this person actually contract an A-level magical beast?
