CHAPTER 181: CHAPTER 180 GRADUALLY ’MONETIZING’ THE MAGIC PLANT DEPARTMENT

In the first round, it’s obvious that the Skill Department wins.

The students from the Skill Department fell silent, possibly realizing that defeating an ordinary person isn’t much to celebrate, nor do they have the face to be joyful.

On the contrary, the students from the Magic Plant Department raised their arms and cheered, waving their stingy banners passionately shouting, "Xiao Liu mighty! Long live Xiao Liu! Follow Xiao Liu! Lots of discounts!"

Xiao Liu quickly stood up from the ground, bowed gracefully, and then clutched his helmet and walked off the field.

Cai Wenfei impatiently scratched his head, returning to Xu Jing’s side, and spat, "Really not satisfying."

It’s a pity the competition is turn-based rather than a relay race, otherwise he alone could have dealt with these three people, helping Xu Jing to obtain the Blood Stopping Magic Potion recipe.

"Congratulations to the unknown student from the Skill Department for winning the first round with an absolute advantage. Next, we have a 45-minute halftime advertisement break. This competition is passionately sponsored by the shopping center’s first-floor Zhou Hei’s chicken neck Big Q ice cream Xinwang fruit second floor Mi Xue milk tea Guangming glasses Weir cake third floor Fengxi printing and stationery hedgehog flower shop blablabla... Watch the battle between two departments, drink Mi Xue, eat Zhou Hei, wear Guangming, munch on Weir, lick Big Q, buy Xinwang, send hedgehog, print at Fengxi, your best choice! Magic Plant Department booths selling snacks, fruit, milk tea, wish your waiting time not boring!"

Qian Qi pouted her lips, quickly finished reading the advertisement sponsor words, instantly leaving everyone present dumbfounded, many freshmen of the Magic Plant Department stared wide-eyed and asked the seniors next to them, "Seniors, is this really the legendary Qian Qi the formidable?"

How come it feels completely different from what they imagined!

In the news, Qian Qi is a genius at making magic potions, a hero who slaughtered more than a dozen D-level magical beasts, and a young person with aspirations to make a great contribution to human society.

Moreover, what they imagined the Magic Plant Department to be were high-IQ intellectuals dedicated to researching magic potions, wearing white lab coats every day in dreadful magic plants and laboratories, a profession extremely high-status.

But what they witnessed today, not only does Qian Qi lack the aura of a big shot, but even the Magic Plant Department seems filled with a dreadful and obsessed stink of money!

The senior who was asked paused for a moment, finally sighed and said, "Um... you’ll get used to it."

To restore some of Qian Qi’s reputation, and to rectify the "frugal and impoverished" lifestyle of the Magic Plant Department, the senior tried to persuade:

"Our Magic Plant Department used to live through days of poverty and discrimination, if it weren’t for Qian Qi throwing herself out there with all the muck and mire to get sponsorships for us, meticulously counting coins and splitting pennies into two, letting us do research at ease, how would we have today’s proud days for Magic Plant Department?"

"Qian Qi sacrificed her personal reputation, bringing the rise of the entire Magic Plant Department! She is the pioneer leading us, and a model we can never surpass!"

"Therefore, we must not be the despicable ones who curse after taking blessings, we must not forget Qian Qi’s past contributions just because we live good days now, hurting her heart for nothing!" shouted the senior from Magic Plant Department with all their heart, instantly making the freshmen around feel deeply ashamed, "Never thought Qian Qi the formidable had such righteousness, we are truly in awe!"

Seeing the freshmen persuaded, the Magic Plant Department senior secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wow, persuading people for the first time, so thrilling! Finally understand why Qian Qi loves to bluff people! So satisfying!

On the lift stage, Qian Qi, with a dry mouth finished reading the sponsor advertisement, continued her hosting program:

"Ladies and Gentlemen~ the results of the first bet have been released, congratulations to those who bet on the Skill Department for winning the bet, the second bet is now open for betting, all who bet 500 yuan can use their betting proof to buy high-efficiency Blood Stopping Magic Potion at half price from the Magic Plant Department within the February deadline!"

Upon hearing they could buy Blood Stopping Magic Potion, the students present excitedly widened their eyes, swarming backstage to place bets, yet they found it difficult to choose between the Skill Department and the Magic Plant Department.

It seemed the Skill Department has a bigger chance of winning and could earn some money, but what if they bet on the Skill Department and the Magic Plant Department doesn’t acknowledge it?

Fortunately, Qian Qi’s next words dispelled their worries, she pulled her voice, passionately proclaiming, "Students, regardless of whether you bet on the Skill Department or Magic Plant Department, you can enjoy the half-price coupon! Skill and Magic Plant are one family, harmonious coexistence depends on everyone!"

"I believe, after this competition, the Skill Department and Magic Plant Department will completely remove barriers and together with other departments create a beautiful campus life! Working together, creating the future! Supporting each other, becoming comrades-in-arms!"

"Great! Well said!" With students from the Magic Plant Department taking the lead clapping, students from other departments couldn’t help but applaud, shouting for Qian Qi, "Working together, creating the future! Supporting each other, becoming comrades-in-arms!"

From the efforts of the Magic Plant Department this time, they could see the students from the Magic Plant Department not only abandoned old grievances, didn’t fall into anger, but actively improved the relationship between the two major departments, and specially established an activity like eco-farming to achieve win-win.

Even opened a Planting Club, willing to teach them hand-in-hand the weaknesses and utilizations of Magic Plants, so as not to become overly passive once in the instance wilderness where Energy Element Power is exhausted.

Such broad-mindedness, such righteousness truly made the students of the Skill Department and other departments feel admiration and shame!

Contemporary passionate youth should put aside selfishness and personal grievances, join hands with comrades for collective progress, become comrades-in-arms on the battlefield and instances, bringing new hope to this stagnant and increasingly dangerous world!

Beast Square boiled with a heated passionate atmosphere, inciting people’s spirits; Qian Qi’s words made even this year’s freshmen feel the charm of Awakener University, their passionate eyes filled with tears, recalling the swearing-in rally before their enrollment, they vowed to become the best Awakeners, conquer those world-harming instances, slaughter all magical beasts, restoring warmth and peace to this world!

This is the best opening ceremony!

And on the elevator, seeing the Skill Department’s bets backstage soaring, Qian Qi’s corner of the lips slightly trembled, finally uncontrollably rising into an ecstatic grin!

Oh! My cute and charming schoolmates!

Thank you for sending me the big rockets! I will always loyally love you all! Stingy!!!

[... Qian Qi, I still underestimated your shamelessness.] The system expressed deep contempt, [Using this tactic to fleece the students’ wallets, you really... I’m crying to death!]

Fortunately, it doesn’t need to report upwards nor can it connect with other similar cases, otherwise, this host would be really embarrassing!

"What’s wrong, isn’t what I said perfectly fine?" Qian Qi looked innocently, "You dissect, you savor, which sentence of mine isn’t righteous, deeply meaningful, making a resounding impact, bloody and decisive? Which sentence clearly stated that I would fleece their money?"

Moreover, she’s just making some ticket money to recoup costs, not making big money!

She’s tremendously kind and good-loving, right?!

After all, the next competition is really the exciting match that will make them open their eyes, changing their worldviews!
