CHAPTER 74: CHAPTER 74 I DREAMED OF YOU COVERED IN FILTH

[Did you have a nightmare?] The system panel floated in front of her.

Inside the hovercar flying through the night, Qian Qi glanced at the brightly lit windows outside and slowly nodded.

"Yes, a very terrifying nightmare."

She dreamed that the B-level Black Dragon Beast broke into Awakener University and swallowed all her cute and charming students. Qian Qi wanted to save her "wallets," so she crawled into the Black Dragon Beast’s mouth, intending to poison it unconscious, just like she did with the Three-headed Demon Electric Lion before.

Unexpectedly, she slipped and ended up sliding down the Black Dragon Beast’s esophagus into its stomach.

The stomach was full of little wallet-students, crowded and crying, asking her to find a way to save them, so she put the poison into the Black Dragon Beast’s stomach.

The effect was fast; the Black Dragon Beast clutched its stomach and began to have diarrhea on the spot, and she and the little wallets were all expelled from the Black Dragon Beast’s rear. Looking around, she found the rest of the wallets in the school hanging in tatters on the trees, the playground, the railings...

The nightmare was so complex that Qian Qi, who fell asleep on the way back, was instantly jolted awake.

[What did you dream about?]

The system was very interested in human dreams.

Qian Qi: "I dreamed you were standing in front of me covered in shit, ugh—"

System: [...] Damn, I shouldn’t have stupidly opened my mouth just now.

Qian Qi pressed her face against the cool car window to wake herself up, then she checked the navigation and found there was still a long distance back to the school. Suddenly realizing something, she was about to remind the driver up front not to drive drowsily.

But just as she leaned forward, she saw the driver in the seat was asleep.

Qian Qi: ...

Qian Qi shook the driver, "Driver, why are you sleeping? We’re not lost, are we?"

The driver uncle woke up with a fright after seeing Qian Qi’s anxious face, he slightly calmed his pounding heart, pointed to the driving panel and said, "Don’t worry, it’s on autopilot."

Qian Qi was puzzled, "Didn’t Senior Su Ang say not to trust autopilot?"

The driver lazily glanced at Qian Qi, "Didn’t you say you didn’t trust human drivers either?"

Qian Qi: "..."

Why was this guy eavesdropping on the host’s conversation? A bit of professional ethics would be nice!

Keeping in mind that if she wasn’t embarrassed, others would be, Qian Qi immediately changed the topic smoothly, "Driver, since you’re just sitting there, can you teach me to drive a hovercar?"

The driver couldn’t help but size up Qian Qi, "Do you have a hovercar?"

"I’m about to have one." Qian Qi rubbed her hands shyly, excitedly saying, "Please teach me, I’m very smart."

"Sure~" For some reason, the driver became interested and got into the co-driver’s seat, pointing to the main driver’s seat, "Autonomous driving isn’t hard, you mostly need to learn the function modules on the panel. But if you want to drive manually, that requires long-term training, but you can give it a try... hehehe~"

The driver’s laugh was a bit peculiar, but Qian Qi, fully focused on the hovercar, didn’t notice. She crawled into the main driver’s seat, touched the driving panel in front of her, and turned the steering wheel a bit, asked, "Driver, is there a manual for this?"

The driver chuckled, "Yes."

He opened a compartment, took out a booklet, and handed it to Qian Qi, "Take a look, it’s still three hours to get back to school."

Qian Qi opened the table of contents, checked a few questions, and then switched from autopilot to manual driving.

She gently tapped the steering wheel, confirming, "I can really drive, right?"

"Don’t worry, it’s fine." The driver slowly fastened his seatbelt.

Qian Qi took a deep breath and started to turn the wheel.

In the next moment, she and the hovercar flipped through the air like a kicked ball.

"Ahhhhh—"

...

Three hours later, Qian Qi rolled out of the car, "Ugh—"

This hovercar, is seriously not meant for humans to drive!!!

Inside the car, the driver watched Qian Qi’s miserable look and couldn’t help but throw his head back and laugh, "Little student, hurry back to rest, bye-bye."

The driver drove the hovercar away, while Qian Qi, face pale, waved her hand and then went to the bushes by the school gate to throw up.

After nearly three hours of flipping through the air, she finally learned to fly a hovercar steadily in the air, but only just. The steering wheel was extremely sensitive, and to perform maneuvers like single-handed spinning to dodge airborne buildings and instances, or using the hovercar in combat, would require more practice.

Wiping her mouth, Qian Qi checked the time and saw that today’s Magic Plant class hadn’t started yet, so she wobbly walked towards the teaching building, ready to reinforce her image as a good student who goes to class even when sick.

But as she entered the classroom, she felt something was off.

The classmates seemed to be arguing about something, Zhang Feng was cursing and saying he’d deal with someone, a few boys were trying hard to stop him, and some girls were crying at the back seats, one of them being Liang Yuting.

Qian Qi moved closer, curiously asking, "What’s going on? What happened?"

Thanks to helping classmates with their magic plant homework, Qian Qi had become a well-known figure in Magic Plant Class 101, so when they saw her, the previously heated Zhang Feng instantly calmed down.

He glanced at Qian Qi and pointed resentfully at Liang Yuting, "Just some students from the Skill Department, they came to the back mountain today and ruined the E-level Magic Plants we had just grown. Now all those plants are wasted."

Magic plants were undoubtedly lifelines for Magic Plant Department students, the E-level magic plants they had worked so hard to cultivate were like their own daughters and sons. Seeing others destroy them was a heartache only they could understand.

After Zhang Feng finished speaking, he suddenly remembered Qian Qi used to do such things before, and abruptly fell silent.

To Qian Qi, maybe this wasn’t a big deal, just plant them again after they’re destroyed, why cry?

Everyone seemed to realize this possibility, and the once noisy classroom fell silent immediately.

Qian Qi slammed her hand on the desk.

The hearts of everyone in Class 101 skipped a beat, silently dreading that they might have angered Qian Qi.

Would they get beaten up, sob sob sob—

Qian Qi was indeed angry, the occurrence of this incident seemed like a declaration of war to her, she picked up a nearby stool viciously and asked, "Who did it?"

Daring to bully her potential employees? Do they know how important an employee’s mental health is to a company’s performance! If this left a psychological scar or shadow on her employees, who would compensate her?

This grudge, she must settle!

"Watch me beat them to a pulp—" Qian Qi’s face twisted into a demon-like expression, her murderous glare scared Zhang Feng into swallowing his saliva, trembling as he said, "Actually, it’s not that serious..."

If Qian Qi got involved, things would indeed become serious.

Initially, it might have been just a magic plant incident; adding Qian Qi, it might turn into a murder case.

But Qian Qi would not tolerate this kind of thing.

Once it starts, it won’t stop, and if Skill Department students think Magic Plant Department students are easy targets, believing they can use their plants for practice, what if they come to the back mountain every day to destroy their plants?

What if they harmed the magic plants she painstakingly grew?

She would not allow such a thing to happen.

She had to eliminate these threats.

Qian Qi stared at her classmates and asked back, "How is it not serious?"

With a serious face, she walked to the front of the class, grabbed the small amplifier, and loudly questioned into the mic, "Classmates, answer me, why do we work so hard to cultivate magic plants?"

"Why?"

When questioned by Qian Qi, the students in Magic Plant Class 101 couldn’t help but ponder this profound question.
