CHAPTER 358: REVISED: CHAPTER 358 THE TRUE USE OF KANGAROO’S POUCH 2
The sound of the kangaroo’s painful cry didn’t ring out. Qian Qi raised her head in confusion, only to unexpectedly discover that the Kangaroo Boss’s jumping speed had almost doubled.
The wind roared past her ears, and she couldn’t help but blink in bewilderment.
"How strange..."
Qian Qi stepped on the left meatball again and found that the kangaroo moved even faster.
"Is this some kind of weird acceleration switch?" Qian Qi tilted her head, then lifted her right foot, stepping onto the right meatball.
The kangaroo suddenly slowed down, causing Qian Qi to widen her eyes in amazement. Not only that, but because she was too shocked to retract her right foot, she kept it on the right ball, resulting in the Kangaroo Boss making a sudden stop.
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi folded her hands, sitting in the pouch, her expression gradually becoming serious and profound.
"Damn... Is this some kind of kangaroo toy car... Did these little kangaroos play this well when they were young?"
Give them a car, and could they learn to drive by themselves?
System: [How is it~ Fun, right?]
Qian Qi’s legs trembled, her concealed lips quivered madly, revealing a sinister and wild smile.
Not just fun, this is way too much fun! What’s the difference from driving?!
Qian Qi directly pressed the "accelerator," and the Kangaroo Boss immediately sped up, rushing toward the sea—!
...
Two hours later, Qian Qi and her group rushed back to the seaside under the cover of night.
The Gong Family Army waiting by the sea initially mistook the Kangaroo Beast for an enemy attack, especially when the Commander saw Brother Dog’s head "hanging" on the Kangaroo Beast’s chest, almost thinking Brother Dog had died prematurely.
Luckily, after calming down, they saw Brother Dog’s head was fine and that he was smiling and waving at them, indicating there was no enemy attack.
"I bet it’s another beast tamed from somewhere."
"As expected of Brother Dog, probably only he could lure Magic Beasts to use at any time and place."
"Hush, stop talking, Brother Dog is coming."
Qian Qi climbed out of the pouch, leading the Kangaroo Beasts onto the warship. For these unfamiliar and rare things they had never seen before, the Kangaroo Beasts showed a strong curiosity, constantly swinging their fists to test the hardness of whatever they saw.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Wherever Qian Qi went, the sounds of impacts followed. Glancing at the looks of the crew, who were too angry to speak, she couldn’t help rubbing her forehead and tied the A-level rope to the deck railing.
After pulling a suitcase out of their pouch, she patted the Kangaroo Boss’s shoulder, instructing, "Stay here, don’t run around, got it?"
The Kangaroo Boss blinked, stayed silent but obediently remained where it was. It examined its surroundings and the crew and became eager when looking at the new members of the Gong Family Army.
"Yoo-hoo~" it called out, provocatively waving its fists at the new Gong Family Army members: Come on! Fight me!
Unfortunately, the Gong Family Army was strictly disciplined and didn’t bother with them. After calling out for half the day with no response, the Kangaroo Boss proudly puffed its chest, "Yoo-hoo~"
A bunch of cowardly weaklings, not daring to compete with me!
The other Kangaroo Beasts also voiced their admiration in agreement: As expected of the Boss! The Boss is the strongest!
As the night deepened and the tide rose slightly, the Kangaroo Beasts began to get sleepy and lay on the deck to sleep. Apart from those keeping watch, the Gong Family Army members returned to their cabins to rest, conserving their energy for tomorrow’s battle.
Gong Qiang lay in bed, pulling the covers over himself, just about to close his eyes when Qian Qi’s devilish voice suddenly sounded in his ear, "Are you mocking me? Do you believe I’ll pull a lump of poop out of my maggot’s butt and stuff it into your mouth while you sleep?"
Gong Qiang: ...
Gong Qiang abruptly threw off the covers, locking the door securely.
Once sure that Qian Qi couldn’t open the door from the outside, Gong Qiang returned to his bed, finally at ease for sleep.
Meanwhile.
In Qian Qi’s cabin.
"The magic reaction of this Water Breath Magic Potion is quite intense, it’s no less challenging than the Healing Medicine for Spiritual Power Disorder..." Qian Qi shook the test tube in her hand. She lacked precise measuring tools at the moment. The rush into the instance left her equipped unprepared, and the equipment Su Xingchen was customizing for her would have to wait until next time.
So she could only rely on the system’s measurement function, which, of course, cost money.
And of course x2, the money was covered by Su Xingchen.
Although the measurement issue was resolved, the tools were still quite rudimentary, leading to a certain failure rate, so Qian Qi decided to bring out her ultimate trick—"Come forth! My Moyu!"
In a glamorous spin, Moyu appeared out of thin air, like a personal butler, its black wings elegantly adjusting in front of it, "Honorable Contractor, summoned at midnight, what are your orders?"
"Stack a reverse luck buff for me, make my success rate in making the Water Breath Magic Potion reach a hundred percent." Qian Qi sat cross-legged, folding her hands devoutly as if bathed in Buddha’s light: "Bring it on!"
"Uh..." Moyu paused, "Then wait a moment, let me gather my words."
The reverse luck buff isn’t that easy to use; after all, its malicious word spirit skill can only curse or make Crow’s Beak say the opposite of the truth, and the logic of the language determines the buff’s strength.
So, how should it be said to make Qian Qi’s potion-making buff reach one hundred percent?
Moyu pondered, tapping its chin, should it say, "Qian Qi, oh Qian Qi, with tools this crude you’re just randomly making potions, what if you end up creating a Water Element Magic Potion in the end?"
Or maybe, "Qian Qi, oh Qian Qi, I curse you to create the Water Breath Magic Potion one hundred percent and then have a two-hour stomach ache!"
The former lacks logic and might easily fail, the latter boosts the intensity, but Qian Qi will have a stomachache.
"Oh, Contractor~" Moyu tentatively asked, "I have two methods here; the first has a risk of failure, but the second can be one hundred percent successful..."
"The second one!" Qian Qi waved her hand dramatically, "Time is pressing! We need one hundred percent!"
"Alright~" That’s what you said~ Moyu couldn’t be bothered to think of a third method, so it started circling above Qian Qi’s head, beginning its mutter of curse, "Qian Qi, oh Qian Qi, I curse you to create the Water Breath Magic Potion one hundred percent in the next six hours and then have a one-hour stomachache!"
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi: ???
"What?!" Qian Qi shot up, glaring at this little rascal, "You’ve got some nerve to curse your Contractor!"
"You said you wanted one hundred percent!" Moyu innocently blinked at her with its little wings, "How about this~ I’ll reduce it by one hour for you, how’s that? An hour is just equivalent to two trips to the bathroom! The cost is minimal!"
Qian Qi twitched her mouth: "...Alright."
"Great!" Moyu immediately waved its wings at her and began the spell, "Qian Qi, oh Qian Qi, I curse you to create the Water Breath Magic Potion one hundred percent in the next six hours and then have a one-hour stomachache~"
"Qian Qi, oh Qian Qi, I curse you to create the Water Breath Magic Potion one hundred percent in the next six hours and then have a one-hour stomachache~"
"Qian Qi, oh Qian Qi, I curse you to create the Water Breath Magic Potion one hundred percent in the next six hours and then have a one-hour stomachache~"
After muttering it three times, Moyu felt the buff was strong enough, and confidently said, "All done!"
"Alright, back to the Beast Taming Space." Qian Qi put Moyu back into the space, glanced at the time, and immediately started grinding herbs to make the Water Breath Magic Potion.
Two hours later.
Suddenly remembering something, Qian Qi put down the tools in her hand, opened the door, and rushed to Gong Qiang’s cabin, reaching for the door handle.
The handle was locked.
Qian Qi clicked her tongue in disappointment, and returned to her room.
Two more hours later, Qian Qi successfully made the Water Breath Magic Potion and began mass production. Maybe Moyu’s buff was particularly effective; her spiritual power was highly focused, her potion-making speed especially fast, and even the feel of measuring the potion was just right; each pour was precise. Finally, before dawn, she successfully extracted the Water Breath Magic Potions for everyone.
As soon as the six hours were up, Qian Qi felt her stomach churning violently, and she dashed out of the room, rushing to the bathroom!
An hour later, Qian Qi left the bathroom feeling refreshed, humming a tune as she walked back to her room, but just a few meters out, her face suddenly darkened.
"What’s going on? Wasn’t it only one hour?!"
Qian Qi rushed back into the bathroom.
Four hours later.
As everyone finished breakfast and began their shifts, Qian Qi’s voice, cursing to the high heavens, suddenly rang out, startling everyone on the battleship and the Kangaroos: "Damn it! Damn you, Moyu! You didn’t say that with every curse, the buff stacks, even the curse duration stacks too—!"
She had diarrhea for a whole five hours! Five hours!
She lost five pounds!
