Chapter 438: Chapter 438
In Qian Qi’s initial impression, Liang Yuting was actually a gentle and overly soft-hearted girl, who couldn’t really handle things.
When she first arrived, to scare Chen Miaomiao, she faked a bloody neck wound. Even though she knew "Qian Qi" was a jerk and was herself in a tough spot, Liang Yuting still took out 100 bucks to lend to Qian Qi for a hospital visit.
Later, her painstakingly grown magic plants were destroyed by Skill Department students, and she cried her heart out in the classroom, not even daring to let her classmates stand up for her.
But it’s unclear when it started, this gentle and timid girl seemed to change; she resolutely took up the financial and sales management of the Magic Plant Department and gradually became the backbone of the Magic Plant Department, twisting the whole department into an unbreakable rope when Qian Qi wasn’t around.
This was something Qian Qi couldn’t do.
If the entire Magic Plant Department were a pirate ship, Qian Qi would be the free sail waving in the wind, leading the pirate ship to its direction, while Liang Yuting would be the engine steadily burning oil at the bottom, connecting the components and providing power, ensuring the pirate ship sails towards its destination with unity.
She earnestly, seriously, and steadily walked every step, each night spent fighting against the clock laid the foundation for her becoming who she is now.
Qian Qi would never treat someone like her unfairly.
"This time, you and Zhang Feng will join me in the instance." Qian Qi said, "Let’s also take the opportunity to level up your Contracted Beasts."
Zhang Feng’s Spiritual Power Level is B-level, so he must go this time. Liang Yuting’s spiritual power is C-level, and due to her busy management of the Magic Plant Department, she can’t rank in the top 30 in her level, but as Qian Qi’s right-hand person, she would undoubtedly bring her along.
Yet Liang Yuting shook her head, "There are still many things in the Magic Plant Department waiting for me, I really can’t leave."
She knows what missing this opportunity means, but the Magic Plant Department is now entangled in too many interests and affairs that she can’t detach from it and leave it unattended.
Qian Qi thought for a moment and didn’t say more, "Alright."
In that case, she would bring back a few low-level Magic Beasts for Liang Yuting and help train them into A-level Contracted Beasts. Just as Liang Yuting’s Spiritual Power Level is low, this could allow her to contract multiple Magic Beasts.
After helping some students solve planting problems in the back mountain and checking the harvest of Concentration Fruits on the neighboring hill, Qian Qi finally set off for the Magic Beast Warehouse.
Carrying two bags of oranges and two bags of apples, Qian Qi leaned against the window of the gatekeeper’s room at Beast Square and called inside.
Uncle Sun, who was yawning with his eyes narrowed, immediately perked up when he heard the voice, and upon seeing, "Whoa! Little Qian is back!"
"Just got back today, so I quickly brought fruit for you, Granduncle~" Qian Qi said with a smile.
"Hmph, I bet you mainly want to see the Magical Beasts and just stopped by to see an old useless guy like me?" Uncle Sun took the two shares of fruit for himself, then took one orange and one apple out of Uncle Li’s two shares, stuffing them into his bag, "That old geezer has had a toothache lately, he should eat less fruit!"
Looking at the cute old grandpa, Qian Qi chuckled, "Please, granduncle, don’t accuse me wrongly, naturally I miss you more!"
"Hmph, go on!" Uncle Sun locked the gatekeeper’s room and put the key in his pocket, "That old guy, Li, keeps yammering about you! He complains that your live streaming time was too short back then, and he refuses to eat rough bran after having fine grained food."
"Whoa! Then I must tell him, I’ll be streaming again in a while." Qian Qi laughed.
"Oh?" Uncle Sun wondered, "You’re planning to head out again? Are you preparing to support Song City?"
Qian Qi shook her head, "I intend to take the Beast Taming Department and the Magic Plant Department into the instance for training."
Uncle Sun stumbled and turned around, looking at Qian Qi in surprise, "Training in an instance? Wait, it wouldn’t be an instance outside, would it?"
Even taking the Magic Plant Department? But don’t the Magic Plant Department students all lack Awakened Skills?
"Yes, I’ve already chosen the instance."
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes and didn’t ask further, and like a statement, "Looks like the principal has already agreed."
As they talked, they arrived at the Magic Beast Warehouse, greeted Uncle Li, exchanged a few words, and she said, "Uncle Li, I’ll go see Ah Tu and the others." Follow current novels on novel✦fire.net
"Alright, I’ll accompany..." Uncle Li was just about to say together when Uncle Sun behind Qian Qi desperately winked at him.
Uncle Li suspiciously handed the keys to her, "You go up first and have a look."
After Qian Qi left, Uncle Li immediately looked disdainfully at Uncle Sun, "Aren’t you embarrassed at your age? If you want to find a second spring, go look for the dorm manager lady who has a crush on you, why wink at me?"
Who the heck was winking at you, your age has already blurred your vision, huh!
"I was giving you a sign!" Uncle Sun grumbled, "And do you know that Little Qian plans to take the Magic Plant and Beast Taming Departments into an outside instance for training!"
"What!" Uncle Li slapped his thigh and became immediately excited, "There’s such a fresh thing? How did that little guy persuade the principal? I tried to convince him for so long, and he still wouldn’t agree!"
"So..." Uncle Sun again winked at Uncle Li, "When the time comes, we’ll..."
Uncle Li immediately caught on, but... "Then who will watch the gate? Can we leave with no break all year round?"
"Don’t we have little ones in the family who are very free..." Uncle Sun raised his eyebrows.
"Oh~~ you mean Little Sun and Little Jiang~" Uncle Li suddenly smiled, his eyes curling into crescent moons, "Got it got it..."
The two then, tacitly, burst into a "hee hee hee" villainous laugh together.
The floor of the Flame Dogs.
In Room 1, an orange giant Magic Dog lay behind the railing gate, its mouth stuffed between the bars, with a slight glimmer of expectation, though perhaps without hope, in its beastly eyes, occasionally glancing at the empty elevator entrance.
On its massive head, a fluffy Little White Extreme Rat was asleep, and several other soft Little White Extreme Rats were taking a nap on its body, while a few seemingly new little nests, presumably for the White Extreme Rats to sleep in, lay scattered nearby.
But it was evident that the Little White Extreme Rats preferred to sleep on Ah Tu.
And at a certain moment, the elevator made a "ding" sound, and Ah Tu lifted its eyelids, glancing at the clock opposite.
Hmm? This doesn’t seem like the time that old man usually feeds it?
Just as Ah Tu was puzzled, a voice with a winding tune, like a mountain road with eighteen bends, suddenly sounded at the moment the elevator door opened, "Ah Tu~ Ah~ Tu~ Ah Tu Tu~~~"
Ah Tu’s long, pointy ears stood straight up immediately.
Hmm? Hmm hmm hmm? That heartless beast has finally arrived?
Ah Tu "whooshed" and sprang up from the ground, moving so fast that its nose got twisted in the railing bars; it quickly touched its nose in pain and ran to squat in the furthest corner.
Its tail wagged slightly.
This time, Niu Gulu·Atu would not eagerly yearn for the "Emperor’s" affection anymore!
"Ah Tu~~~" Qian Qi came bouncing to Ah Tu’s lair, clinging to the railing and looking inside, "Ah Tu? Why don’t you come over~ I’ve arrived~"
Ah Tu raised its head high, squatting in the corner acting as if it couldn’t hear.
Woken up by the noise, the White Extreme Rats turned to see Qian Qi and immediately leapt off Ah Tu’s body, joyously pouncing onto Qian Qi. Their tiny paws climbed up Qian Qi’s pants leg, quickly reaching her shoulders and head.
This used to be Boss Bai’s spot, and now it’s finally their turn!
Going on a business trip was great, being able to enjoy such perks, squeak squeak!
Qian Qi patted the Little White Extreme Rats; she had already heard from Zhang Feng that because the White Extreme Rats wanted to learn the languages of the Flame Dogs and other Magic Beasts in the warehouse, they had returned with the Flame Dog for a period.
And here Qian Qi was, back before the Flame Dog and the White Extreme Rats had returned from their trip.
"Ah Tu~ Ah Tu, come on, notice me~ I’m Qian Qi~" Seeing Ah Tu ignoring her, Qian Qi pulled out the B-level evolution materials she had prepared for Ah Tu from the System Space, tempting it, "I went out to work and brought you a gift~"
What is it? It smells so good!
Ah Tu resisted and finally couldn’t hold back, glancing back, salivating like a faucet turned on full blast.
Damn it! How could she do this!
So fragrant, so fragrant! I want to eat!
The delicious aroma spread, causing the entire floor of Flame Dogs to swallow, ramming against the railing gate, wanting to devour the delicious evolution materials into their stomachs. They howled, some even cursing Ah Tu directly.
"If you don’t want it, let her give it to me! I’ll eat it! I’ll eat it!"
"Number 1, you’re so damn pretentious! Not being contracted and still evolving with such good stuff, and you still give her attitude!"
"I can’t hold back anymore! Why must this damn railing gate stop me! Aaaah, I’m going to explode!"
Seeing Ah Tu’s conflicted and struggling look, Qian Qi pushed the B-level evolution materials through the bars, nudging them further in.
She squatted down, resting her little face in her hands, gently saying, "Ah Tu, no rush, this is for you. Others can’t have it."
Ah Tu glanced at Qian Qi, then at the evolution materials, and ultimately couldn’t resist the temptation, slowly shifting over.
But Ah Tu didn’t rush to eat the evolution materials; it lay back on the ground, blinking at Qian Qi.
If it ate these things now and then she took it for a few laps on the track, would she leave and be gone for a long time again?
Ah Tu wanted her to spend more time with it.
Qian Qi didn’t urge it to eat, opening the gate to stroke Ah Tu’s fur, causing static to make the fur stand on end before she turned and left.
Ah Tu immediately got up in a hurry, wanting to follow.
How could she leave so quickly? She hadn’t even taken it out for a stroll yet!
Just as it stepped out the door, it saw Qian Qi coming over with a familiar bucket and mop.
"Oh! Ah Tu, you’re so eager to wash your butt!" Qian Qi’s little face was full of teasing, "Turns out, you really enjoy it! You should’ve said so earlier!"
Ah Tu let out a sharp shriek: Don’t come near!!!
