Chapter 436: Chapter 436

Entering an A-level dungeon?

What’s the difference between that and walking straight to your death?!

If it were a C-level dungeon, I wouldn’t even be this panicked!

Principal Zheng’s hands shook violently, "Qian Qi, shouldn’t we take it slow? I feel this pace is too fast..."

"Fast?" Qian Qi smiled innocently, "But I’ve already made an appointment with Yan Shuiyue, and she’s convinced Yan Wuji to gather A-level Beast Masters from the Beast Taming Association to escort us..."

Principal Zheng once again let out a sharp burst of sound, "You actually managed to invite A-level Beast Masters from the Beast Taming Association?"

Those are A-level Beast Masters! Typically, unless it’s a special situation, like an uprising in the underground dungeon of the three big cities, the Beast Taming Association would generously send a few A-level Beast Masters to help. Did Qian Qi really just sweet-talk them into action?

Of course, Qian Qi didn’t just talk. She merely offered a little benefit, something incidental to her, and those Beast Masters, even with a little hesitation, opted to take the risk and try.

After all, who can resist the temptation of "contracting another" A-level Magical Beast!

"But the number of A-level Beast Masters in the Beast Taming Association is limited..." Principal Zheng pondered, "With so many students from both the Magic Plant Department and the Beast Taming Department, how could they possibly be protected?"

"That’s why I’m discussing with you to call all the A-level Awakeners, graduated or not, from our university." Qian Qi said lazily, "Besides, I won’t take all the students, just those with above B-level spiritual power." Thıs content belongs to nοvelfire.net

Principal Zheng immediately understood, Qian Qi planned to have all these students with above B-level spiritual power contract with Magical Beasts.

Thinking of it this way, Principal Zheng couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement.

"Also, before we go, we need to contract the Magical Beasts I brought back earlier to increase our combat power." Qian Qi said.

Now that Beast Masters have the Beast Taming Space, it’s very convenient to travel with Contracted Beasts, so naturally, they should bring more Contracted Beasts for more security.

Thinking of those Magical Beasts brought back from the three major cities, temporarily stored in the school’s Magic Beast Warehouse, eating and drinking carefreely, Principal Zheng nodded quickly like a pecking chicken, "Hurry up and contract them, the school’s about to go bankrupt feeding them!"

Qian Qi glanced at him sideways, contemptuously saying, "Can’t you do it? If you’re out of money, can’t you go ask the Seven Great Families and the Beast Taming Association?"

Principal Zheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes, "Do you think I’m you!"

Back when the city was sealed, with Qian Qi’s backing, he dared to act so brazenly in front of the Seven Great Families. Without Qian Qi, he’d be a bit cowardly!

But... since Qian Qi spoke up this time, he could borrow her courage again!

Principal Zheng rubbed his hands, starting to eye the Seven Great Families’ wallets.

"When asking for money, also ask for some manpower. Although there’s a Magic Beast Tide happening everywhere, the local army can barely cope, so they still have some surplus forces to help." Qian Qi stated.

"That might be a bit difficult..." After thinking for a moment, Principal Zheng said, "They might be good with money, but borrowing military forces isn’t so easy."

"I can generously offer some slots for Awakener Warriors to contract B-level Magical Beasts." Qian Qi said nonchalantly.

Wow! How are you suddenly so generous; did your personality change after a makeover?

Or are you so indulgent to the Magic Plant Department and Beast Taming Department students at Awakener University!

While Principal Zheng was shocked at Qian Qi’s generosity, Qian Qi scratched her ear and, with the most nonchalant expression, said the most inflated demand, "But they have to pay more, and the more Beast Masters they want, the sponsorship money will exponentially increase by a factor of 2."

I was wrong, I actually thought Qian Qi became generous just now, but she’s obviously already losing her mind!

She used to demand twice or more, now she’s asking the price to grow exponentially!

He planned to offer a moment of silence for the wallets of the Seven Great Families.

After dropping off Qian Qi at the Magic Plant Department, Principal Zheng quickly rushed back to his office to start working on these matters.

"Then I’ll head to the Command Department first." Su Ang, who had been silently standing by, looked down at the principal leaving, then at Qian Qi who had been standing with her hands in her pockets, not saying a word, "Call me before departure."

He reckoned that Qian Qi must be busy for a while, so he shouldn’t disturb her, letting her focus on her own affairs.

However, regarding taking students from both departments into the instance, she hadn’t mentioned anything to him before. If he hadn’t come to the school with her today, watching her discuss it with the principal, he might not have known when he would find out.

Su Ang still wanted to fight for a chance and join her.

Qian Qi nodded, "Mm, I also invited Sikong Wang."

Su Ang was taken aback.

She called Sikong Wang in advance.

Feeling an unnatural twinge of jealousy inside, realizing he wasn’t that important in her eyes, the silver-haired youth lowered his eyes slightly, masking the disappointment and bitterness beneath his gaze.

In her eyes, was Sikong Wang more reliable than him? Is that why she thought of Sikong Wang first when she needed help?

He couldn’t help but compare the gap between him and Sikong Wang. Their family backgrounds were similar, and both were S-level Awakeners. If in the past his looks had the advantage, after Sikong Wang’s successful weight loss, his appearance became quite outstanding and popular.

What’s more, Sikong Wang had a gentle and approachable nature, their relationship was closer, and their interaction seemed more familiar.

"Then, senior, take care." Nearby, Qian Qi nodded politely to him before turning to enter the Magic Plant Department College.

Behind her, Su Ang watched the girl’s back, his fist slightly clenched.

She even affectionately called Sikong Wang "Wangwang," whereas he was distantly referred to as "senior."

He was just... one of her many seniors.

With a bitter smile, the silver-haired youth whipped up his spirits again.

Oh well, the future is still long.

Her most important goal now is to become a formidable force that no one can stand against. In the meantime, he will stay as her bodyguard to ensure her safety on the journey.

The system, glancing at Su Ang still standing there, quickly followed Qian Qi, curiously asking: [Why did you call Sikong Wang but not Su Ang?]

Logically, Su Ang is stronger and safer than Sikong Wang!

Plus, even though it’s just a system, it could tell that Su Ang’s eyes were filled with obvious affection for Qian Qi.

Could it be that Qian Qi wanted to... avoid suspicion? To make him give up?

Qian Qi let out a "huh?" looking genuinely puzzled, "Why need to specifically call him, didn’t he say he’d always team up with me?"

So when she enters an instance, he’d surely follow along, right? So why bother asking again?

Oh, poor Su Ang, it truly couldn’t help but weep for him.

He didn’t even realize he’d already been regarded as "belonging to" by Qian Qi.

"Running an instance alone is pretty boring, we need to keep up with the times and learn to team up and cooperate." Qian Qi said, fiddling with her small fingers earnestly, "Su Ang is an essential Spiritual System Awakener. And shouldn’t I take Little Hong? He cooks well and is also an indispensable Elemental Master. Do I need to bring Xi Pingzhe along? After all, he is the first disciple I took, let alone that he is an A-level Spiritual Beast Master. With proper nurture, he has a lot of potential, and many teams would hope to have a Beast Master join!"

"Mm, I also have to find a way to persuade Sister Sheng Qing. She’s a Double A Shooter + A-level Spiritual Power, also indispensable for the team, plus she has considerable combat experience... With her joining, our squad would be perfect!"

System: [Everyone is indispensable, so what about you?]

Qian Qi put her hands on her hips: "Well, of course, I’m the indispensable support!"

System: [? What kind of support can you provide?]

"Hey, I’m Qian Qi with a system!" Qian Qi rubbed her little nose, proudly declaring, "I can definitely be the hexagonal support giving everyone buffs!"

Whether it’s combat buffs or spiritual encouragement buffs, she’s great at them! She’s really good at praising people!

The system immediately straightened its interface, proudly saying: [That’s right, with me as the strongest support system, you really are hexagonal support!]
