CHAPTER 184: CHAPTER 183: JUST CALLED HER LITTLE SWEET

The result of the duel is obvious: the Skill Department lost 1:2 to the Magic Plant Department.

"The inter-school competition has ended, and I believe everyone isn’t quite satisfied yet. Up next, we have an exhibition match between Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng’s beasts, purely for enjoyment and friendly competition~"

After Qian Qi finished speaking, the students, who were initially feeling a bit disappointed, burst into cheers, "Great! This is interesting!"

Many new students in the audience hadn’t seen a Beast Taming Department match yet. Now, with a free beast match to watch, they were naturally quite excited and cheered loudly.

Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng appeared on the field riding Flame Dogs, and under Qian Qi’s whistle, they began their duel.

Beast taming not only depends on the contracted beast’s power but also on the beast master’s battling skills. Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng stood behind their respective Flame Dogs, commanding them to attack. Every time a Flame Dog tried to bypass the other Flame Dog to attack the beast master behind, it made the students at the scene tense up.

Both Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng were clearly demonstrating their true abilities. The two Flame Dogs were biting and tearing at each other on the field, and Liang Yuting’s Flame Dog, when releasing skills, even had a faint orange transparent flame, making the new students’ blood boil with excitement.

"Their speed is so fast! The flexibility is incredible! It’s nothing like what I’ve seen on TV!"

"I also feel thrilled! I haven’t seen such an exciting E-level beast match in ages!"

"Beast masters are indeed stronger than Awakeners. After all, their contracted beasts and magic beasts are on the same level! Sigh, why aren’t we beast masters!"

"Damn, it’s so impressive. How did they manage to train the Flame Dogs like this in just three months?"

The students were discussing excitedly, cheering at the beast match on the field. Some were rooting for Zhang Feng, while others were for Liang Yuting, shouting until their necks turned red with enthusiasm.

Qian Qi looked at these excited students, crossed his arms, and scoffed lightly, "Getting so excited over a beast match, it’s a good thing I’m not on the field. Otherwise, I’d show you what a real spectacle is with some magic plants!"

The system was speechless: [Would you die if you didn’t brag?]

"Who says I’m bragging?" Qian Qi retorted defensively, "Don’t you remember that Sakyamuni Demon Vine? I was flying all around the canyon on it!"

System: [...]

Damn, not mentioning it was fine, but thinking about it now brings back those cringeworthy memories.

System: [Please don’t do that again; it’s embarrassing.]

Qian Qi: "I can’t comply. I’m still planning to make it popular! We can’t let people think our Magic Plant Department is useless!"

System: ...

Magic potion creation, contracted magical beasts, in what world is your Magic Plant Department useless!!!

"But..." Qian Qi’s eyes suddenly twinkled with mischief, and he switched to a flattering, oily tone, rubbing his little hands together sneakily, "Sweet System, am I really only allowed to contract one D-level magical beast? Usually, the chosen ones can contract multiple S-Class magical beasts!"

Seeing the system unmoved, Qian Qi slyly extended his finger, scratching the system panel, "Oh dear system~ Surely you wouldn’t let your host be so weak? If I’m too weak, I wouldn’t be worthy of your grand stature, oh system~ system, please consider me~"

[Ugh—Keep that hoarse voice to yourself!] The system, overwhelmed, finally gave in, [There is indeed a magic plant that can enhance spiritual power!]

Qian Qi’s eyes lit up like light bulbs. Indeed, if there are magic plants that can soothe spiritual breakdowns, there are surely ones that can enhance spiritual power!

[However, the location of the magic plant... you know~]

"I understand, I understand!" Qian Qi nodded quickly like a hammer tapping garlic, but this time, she was cautious and warned, "While I have plenty of money now, if you deliberately drain me again, I won’t trust you in the future!"

[Don’t worry,] the system chuckled, [This time it’s very cheap! ∩_∩]

Because, well, that Concentration Fruit... hehehe!

——

This time, the Magic Plant Department earned a substantial start-up fund for their ventures. Not only were all the magic potions sold out, but many students from the Skill Department also booked agritourism activities, reserving all the slots for practicing with magic plants.

During the summer vacation, Magic Plant Department students planted many magic plants, and after they were used for seeds, leaves, and fruits, they were just taking up space in the experimental fields, so they could be sold to Skill Department students for practice.

As healthy E-level magic plants with attack power, it was a win-win for the Magic Plant Department to earn money by having others clear the plants and make space for new ones, saving them the trouble.

For the Skill Department, it was an affordable opportunity for practice, making it a definite win-win for both schools.

The Magic Plant Department could also have its own small treasury, spending more on fertilizers and demon beast meat to research more magic plants. Some capable students even decided to target D-level magic plants.

In short, the future of the Magic Plant Department looked bright.

And it was all thanks to Qian Qi, who had once made them apprehensive but now earned only their respect and gratitude!

"Qian Qi, at the new Magic Plant Department assembly, you’re the only one qualified to give a speech!"

On the ground, Zhang Feng clung tightly to Qian Qi’s leg, showing no intention of letting go unless she agreed to speak, "Besides, the new students are clamoring to join the agritourism, you need to set some rules!"

"Qian Qi! We can’t do without you!" Zhang Feng cried out passionately!

Qian Qi was about to refuse, but upon hearing Zhang Feng say they can’t do without her, she smirked and, twirling her finger around her nose, said, "Well, alright then, I’ll grudgingly say a few words!"

[You’re reveling in it, aren’t you? You’re absolutely reveling in it inside.] the system scoffed.

Qian Qi waved off the system panel, snorting coldly, "Shut up, you old worm."

System: ?

One moment calling it Little Sweet, the next calling it an old worm?

Arriving at the new student’s assembly hall, the new students of the Magic Plant Department were lining up to sit, with the principal, Li Hongsheng, and several advisors already seated on the podium. Upon seeing Qian Qi, the advisors nodded and smiled at her.

Because Qian Qi revitalized the Magic Plant Department, resulting in raised salaries for the instructors and teachers this year, they all found Qian Qi especially likable and pleasing to the eye.

The principal’s first words upon seeing Qian Qi were, "What’s the situation with Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng?"

He had a hunch it had something to do with Qian Qi and even suspected that she had planned today’s scene since she confidently bet three months ago.

"It’s just that~ Didn’t you see?" Qian Qi deflected, "Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng, with their relentless efforts, finally tamed two magic beasts who like to sponge off others, making them serve themselves."

"Are they really not beast masters?" the principal pressed on.

Qian Qi looked at the principal meaningfully, "What do you think?"

How did the principal feel? He couldn’t believe that Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng, who were closest to Qian Qi, would coincidentally awaken such a rare Beast Taming Talent and train the Flame Dogs to be more powerful than a junior in just three months!

If it was feeding them too many Fire Qilin Fruits that eventually made the Flame Dogs submit, he might believe it a bit. But this training method would at most teach the Flame Dogs to follow simple command actions.

However, in that recent beast match, the tacit understanding between them and the Flame Dogs, and even the Flame Dogs’ instinct to protect the two, was impossible to achieve with just Fire Qilin Fruits!

This was only possible through a contract!

But how could ordinary people like Liang Yuting and Zhang Feng possibly make a contract with magic beasts!

Seeing the principal frown and unable to figure it out, Qian Qi pondered for two seconds, then kindly patted the principal’s shoulder, "Take your time, no rush, don’t think so hard that you lose even more of your hair."

Principal: ???

Are you asking for a beating, or what?
