Chapter 422: Chapter 422

Qian Qi took stock of her current possessions that she hadn’t used yet.

The evolution materials she had on hand could probably support 20 A-level Five-winged Sky-breaking Crows and about 35 B-level Intelligent Mice.

If she had the help of the Awakening Army and the Beast Taming Army, perhaps she could also harvest a large amount of Advanced Magic Plants and cultivate more Advanced Evolution Beasts.

For Qian Qi, with her low Spiritual Power Level, if she wanted to have an Advanced Contracted Beast, she could only first contract Low-level Magical Beasts and then let them evolve.

The consequence of this was naturally that Qian Qi couldn’t inherit advanced Derived Skills. Fortunately, through her own efforts and struggles, she had already squeezed into the ranks of A-level Awakened, and even without inheritance, she had the ability to protect herself.

But those ordinary people with S-Class or A-level spiritual power, while not having the ability to enter instances to enhance their strength, could directly contract Advanced Magical Beasts due to their high Spiritual Power Level, gaining derived advanced skills.

In this way, ordinary people also gained the ability to protect themselves, and after a short period of training, they could likely serve as military strength.

Therefore, Qian Qi could directly evolve the magical beasts she had on hand, instead of waiting for them to be contracted and then evolved, wasting an advanced skill for nothing.

"And there’s still Norman’s Notes." Qian Qi touched her chin. This was the first trace of otherworldly humans she found in the Ice Glacier Dungeon, and the notes recorded the methods for Magic Beast Combined Skills. Dıscover more novels at novel-fire.ɴet

Magic Beast Combined Skills were far stronger than the skills of the Magic Beasts themselves. In this way, as long as a large number of the same Magic Beasts were cultivated, unnecessary complexities could be removed, reducing various costs, and a massive Beast Taming Army could be assembled quickly.

"The magic beasts that can use combined skills recorded in the notes are mostly found in the Ice Glacier Dungeon, and the White Extreme Rat is familiar with them. Perhaps it can persuade them to fool their fellow beasts to contract with humans."

"The progress of the Blast Flame Gun must be accelerated."

The outbreak of S-Class Magical Beasts meant that all Awakeners were likely destined to fight, and for them, the Blast Flame Gun might be the best self-defense and attack weapon.

"Fortunately, the blueprint of the Blast Flame Gun provided by the system mentioned that it could fire Blast Flame Bullets of various levels. If possible, some low-cost Blast Flame Bullets could also be mass-produced, which might help people protect themselves during a Low-level Magic Beast Tide."

Time is not on her side; she needs to sell the Blast Flame Guns to the Nangong Family and others as soon as possible.

"Hmm, let’s do these for now." Trying to do too much at once can be counterproductive, and these tasks were already enough to keep Qian Qi busy.

She opened the Light Brain and dialed Li Hongsheng’s number.

He quickly picked up, "Hello? Qian?"

"How’s the preparation going?" Qian Qi asked blandly.

"Ha ha ha, the Magic Plant Research Institute has already started returning profits. I’ve stocked up on the Blood Stopping Magic Potion and Defense Fruit. I must admit, large-scale planting of Magic Plants in instances with fast time flow is simply wonderful!"

In this way, it also avoided the shortage of people who could plant Magic Plants. With standardized management, Li Hongsheng not only fulfilled all the Families’ needs for Blood Stopping Magic Potion, but also stockpiled a large amount of Blood Stopping Magic Potion and Defense Fruit.

"However, looking at the current situation, it seems like Defense Fruits are only suitable for those entering D-level dungeons. Why did you ask me to stockpile so much?" Li Hongsheng asked in confusion.

Qian Qi paused for a moment. She initially asked Li Hongsheng to stockpile these items to actually put him in a bind, creating an oversupply in the market to drive prices down for the benefit of the people.

But now... the Defense Fruit perfectly complements the Blast Flame Gun, making it quite useful.

So she enigmatically said, "You’ll know in the future."

Li Hongsheng had no choice but to stop questioning and continued, "As for Norman’s Demonization Equation, it has been quite a help. We’ve categorized the Magic Plants according to the instances and are researching new magic potions. Give me some more time, and I’ll give you a big surprise!"

Upon obtaining Norman’s Notes, Qian Qi had freely given the Demonization Equation listed in it to the Magic Plant Research Institute.

This knowledge was gleaned from Norman’s Notes, and, moreover, from those notes and books, it was evident that Norman was a Legendary Beast Master with remarkable scientific spirit and selflessness. To explore the potential of Magic Beasts to the utmost, he went deep into the glaciers by himself for decades, bonding with, researching, and training them.

Qian Qi didn’t want the stench of money on her to taint such a great scientist.

Therefore, she published all the Demonization Formulas under Norman’s name for the public.

Now, Qian Qi had a keen interest in the surprise Li Hongsheng mentioned, after all, it was the Magic Plant Research Institute’s own original magic potion, and not something they paid Qian Qi to obtain.

This demonstrated that the Magic Plant Research Institute held true to their original intentions and maintained the spirit and drive of original scientific research, despite Qian Qi’s otherworldly existence.

When she questioned Li Hongsheng about why he trusted her instead of his employees, she was hinting at him. Her existence was important, but he also needed to believe in the capabilities of his employees and not just rely on external forces.

If one day she were to die, the Magic Plant Research Institute could continue on its path and wouldn’t feel like the sky had fallen due to over-reliance on her.

She hoped that if one day she died, people would only feel regret, not despair.

She wasn’t the only hope.

Just like... she hoped that her mother from the previous world wouldn’t sink into excessive grief because of her death; she had other "sons and daughters" to accompany her through the rest of her life.

She didn’t need to be that important in anyone’s heart.

After giving some instructions, Qian Qi hung up the call with Li Hongsheng and walked out of the room.

Time to solve the instance in Qing City as soon as possible.

Qian Qi canceled her vacation and led the Si Family Army, the He Family Army, and the Tang Family Army to swiftly clear the A-level instance in Qing City. Then she bought the Magical Beast Evolution Data with Combined Skills from Norman’s Notes, packaged the necessary evolution materials into a file, and sold it to Su Xingchen.

The Seven Great Families held an emergency meeting, and upon learning that "these materials" could make a potent magic potion for recovering the strength and Elemental Power of Awakeners, they immediately ordered their respective armies to gather all these materials from the instances without batting an eye.

That month, the already conquered instances across the Central State were thrown into turmoil.

And these materials, after removing those actually capable of being used to make magic potions, were all pocketed by Su Xingchen, becoming the foundation for forming a Beast Taming Army.

Indeed, experience counts—Su Xingchen simply spent money and got the Six Great Families to work for him tirelessly, little did they know, their efforts only strengthened the Su Family in the shadows.

After completing the Qing City instance, Qian Qi hurried to the Sealed City to conquer the remaining A-level underground dungeons. When she finally resolved the underground crises in the three major cities, the outbreaks of instances across the regions pushed the human and Magic Beast conflicts to a climax.
