Chapter 454: Chapter 454

Although it’s making ice cream, it’s actually making ice eggs.

On the mountain top, Qian Qi glanced at the time on his Light Brain, then looked toward the cliff full of Fireworks Grass.

"Soon, the Fireworks Grass will fold its leaves." Qian Qi turned to Leng Yuntian and said, "It will block the outlet for ejecting smoke spores."

Three family army commanders also came up; among them, the He Family commander couldn’t help but interrupt, "Even though it’s folded up, it’s just slightly slow to react and will still eject smoke spores in the end."

Qian Qi looked at him indifferently, "So what?"

"What do you mean, so what? If we go over, we’ll still inhale spores and trigger lung disease!" the He Family commander snapped, "We once thought the Fireworks Grass had entered a rest period during the day, and ended up suffering greatly!"

Qian Qi replied with an "Oh," and sighed, "Then you were quite foolish."

He Family commander: ?

Qian Qi patted the Yak Ice Tiger beside him, "Tiger, in a while, you release your skill, freeze the parts of these Fireworks Grass exposed, leave some roots, so I can pull them out."

Yak Ice Tiger tilted his head: "Awo?"

Can you just tell me it might be fatal?

"Night King, later you do this..." With a roll of his eyes, Leng Yuntian turned to translate, "Release Extreme Ice Glacier, then the lower part..."

Yak Ice Tiger nodded.

Yan Shuiyue spoke up from the side, "I can help too."

She knew full well that Qian Dafang is someone who values transactions highly, and Qian Qi might be similar, so if she wanted to discuss anything with Qian Qi, it would be better to contribute some effort.

Qian Qi waved his hand, "No."

Yan Shuiyue pursed her lips slightly, looking at Qian Qi with a gaze filled with confusion and other unexplained emotions: "Why..."

Qian Qi: "A-level ice is too tough to chew; Flame Dog can’t manage it."

After a bizarre silence, Yan Shuiyue: ???

Leng Yuntian was annoyed; the whole reason for finding him was because he’s B-level, because of his Contracted Beast Cuisine?

Leng Yuntian stood at the side and began to feel emo.

With the first rays of sunlight, the Fireworks Grass under the cliff finally entered a brief sleep period, and Yak Ice Tiger followed the instructions to release his Extreme Ice Glacier skill.

Vast areas of icy water rained down quickly, and when it touched the Fireworks Grass, the droplets suddenly froze into ice, transforming the entire Fireworks Grass into an irregular ice crystal.

The gold-red Fireworks Grass, which was not fully blossomed, looked like beautiful red eternal flowers inside the transparent ice crystal, becoming an effortless piece of art, romantic as far as the eye can see.

Not a single smoke spore was released.

The family army below was dumbfounded.

Are you freaking kidding me with this operation?!

Qian Qi immediately picked up the megaphone and roared at the Magic Plant Department students lying in ambush below, "Hurry and harvest! Get some pre-meal ice treats for our Guardian Beast department buddies’ dogs!"

A large group of well-prepared Magic Plant Department students instantly grabbed their customized scythes and surged toward the Fireworks Grass clumps without hesitation!

They deftly swung their scythes to cut at the roots, like agricultural grim reapers harvesting life, stuffing each ice egg filled with Fireworks Grass into their sacks.

Though Fireworks Grass has spores that herald disease and is terrifying, it also has a fatal weakness—it’s too fragile, and easily cut with a scythe. Once frozen, they can’t release smoke spores, becoming "pre-meal snacks" without resisting.

"Damn, hurry up!" Chen Feng swung his scythe and shivered, "It’s really cold here."

B-level Ice Freeze Technique is no joke; despite wearing thick clothes, they still felt the chill piercing through.

After swiftly harvesting this patch of Fireworks Grass, the Magic Plant Department students distributed the ice eggs to the waiting Beast Taming Department students nearby.

The Beast Taming Department students watched the Magic Plant Department students with noses red from cold, suddenly moved to tears, "Thanks, bros, take a break now, we’ll cook for you later!"

Since entering the instance, they haven’t been working; it’s been the Magic Plant Department folks busying themselves, so the young Beast Taming Department students were naturally moved and felt guilty, secretly vowing to treat the Magic Plant Department students better from now on.

The Magic Plant Department students waved dismissively, not worrying about it.

Being down-to-earth farming folks, they’re sincere enough that this little help...they’ll naturally ask for a double return, hahaha—

The Magic Plant Department students laughed heartily inside.

The B-level evolution materials for the Flame Dogs have finally been collected. Content orıginally comes from NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Xi Mingde, Uncle Sun, and Uncle Li stood beside Qian Qi, watching everything unfold with astonishment and reflection in their eyes. "Is that it? Are we ready to start the evolution now?"

Qian Qi raised an eyebrow, "Why not? What’s so difficult about this?"

Xi Mingde was so envious and resentful that he almost wanted to bite his handkerchief, "For you, naturally, it’s not difficult at all."

But for those of them who have struggled in beast mastering for decades, creating hundreds of B-level Contracted Beasts was as challenging as reaching for the stars. Qian Qi’s ease gave them quite a shock and hope, but it also dealt a significant blow.

What have they been busy doing all these decades?

Looking at Dean Xi Mingde’s dejection, Qian Qi sighed, maturely patted his shoulder, and comforted him, "Dean, don’t be discouraged. I had to pay a huge price to find the evolution method for the Flame Dogs!"

Xi Mingde was taken aback. He looked at Qian Qi’s bitter expression and couldn’t help but feel a pang of guilt.

What on earth was he thinking just now?

He almost fell into a mental trap, Little Qian is barely twenty years old, no matter how smart or brilliant, how intelligent can she really be?

They only saw the girl’s radiant demeanor at the moment, but who witnessed her countless failures and hardships behind the scenes, how much blood she shed, and how much flesh she lost to find the evolution method for the Flame Dogs?

He clearly watched Little Qian’s live stream, clearly knew how fierce her battles were, a flowering young girl, unafraid even of disfigurement, surpassing men in bravery by threefold.

That he actually thought Little Qian’s achievements came easily just now is utterly inappropriate.

The more Xi Mingde thought, the more guilty he felt, the more he felt worthless, wishing he could slap himself, while Qian Qi stood atop the mountain, lazily leaned against a rock, looking down at the scenery below.

Did she not pay a huge price?

She spent millions, you know!

Earning money is not easy for her at all! Spending her money is like cutting her flesh and drinking her blood!

"Evolution begins." She waved her hand, signaling to the crowd.

At her words, everyone immediately looked down the mountain.

At the base of the mountain, the students of the Beast Taming Department tightly held the evolution materials, stuffing the frozen Fireworks Grass into the mouths of the Flame Dogs.

Following the contractor’s orders, they swallowed the Fireworks Grass in one go, the warm stomach acids slowly began to dissolve the outer layer of ice, similar to digesting the outer shell of a capsule, then the students of Beast Taming Department stuffed the other evolution materials inside.

With the evolution materials ingested, hundreds of Flame Dogs immediately howled towards the sky, shaking the surrounding forest birds and beasts into a chorus of cries.

Bright yellow flames rapidly engulfed the bodies of the Flame Dogs like wildfire, burning the originally orange-red fur entirely, after teeth fell out on both sides, new fangs sprouted like bamboo shoots after rain.

Golden liquid solidified into mighty protective armor, flames coursing through, adding a touch of divine majesty to the Flame Dogs. The fluffy long-tailed dog tail, replaced by extreme heat flames, dangled behind, the heat beginning to spread to the surroundings, seemingly intent on cooking the entire instance, causing nearby Magic Beasts to flee, not daring to come an inch closer.

The evolved Flame Dogs shed the old ragged garments of previous years, donning armor that shone with golden brilliance, their agile limbs trembled the mountain as they stepped, the abundant energy within eager to burst forth, flame attacks strewn across the sky like countless burning meteors falling, vast, magnificent, wide and expansive!

Xi Mingde, Uncle Sun, Yan Shuiyue, and others looked at the grand and majestic spectacle at the base of the mountain, unable to hide the shock in their hearts.

Among them, Xi Mingde, even more, trembled with emotion, "Beast Master, indeed so!!"

With a wave and laughter, hundreds of B-level Contracted Beasts were created, it was no longer the myth people longed for, but reality laid bare before their eyes!

This, truly, is the Beast Master!

Qian Qi curled her lips, looking at the cheering students below, murmuring softly, "Who says it’s not?"

With B-level Magic Beasts, their future security would increase significantly.

But this wasn’t enough.

Qian Qi’s goal was not limited to this.

If she had set the goal for the Magic Plant Department to use magic plant byproducts for civilian use, then her goal for the Beast Taming Department was to continue the flame of Beast Masters.

A major battle might be coming soon, and she would not let humanity’s civilization suffer another rupture again.

She wants the students of the Beast Taming Department to become the new flame, to let the Beast Taming Civilization recover and grow rapidly after the war, becoming even larger and sturdier.

After all, it’s the task the system set when it came here, isn’t it?

Ah, the good old folks are all 20 years old, supposed to retire and enjoy life, and yet still have to worry about this mess.

Qian Qi rubbed her little chin, self-pityingly, "System Lord, I truly worry myself sick for you, you must treat me better in the future~"

What nonsense is she speaking now?
