Chapter 214: Chapter 214: Coveting Her Wisdom
Moyu kept cawing, translating human language into crow language, enticing these former fellow kin to recognize it as king.
And when they saw Qian Qi feed a D-level Moyu, that Moyu grew a third wing amidst bubbling flesh, the remaining 29 Moyus were instantly shocked, their precious ruby eyes wide open, fluttering their wings eagerly to stick close to Qian Qi.
"Caw caw—" Evolution! Evolution!
"Caw caw caw—" Such brilliant brains! I want them too!
"Caw caw caw caw~" I want it, I want it~
Qian Qi was knocked to the ground by these strong Moyus, tickled by their wings so much she couldn’t stop laughing, while the Moyu who had been working hard to persuade its kin became jealous, flapping its wings to drive the other Moyus away, "Get up, get up! I told you she’s delicate! She can’t withstand your kind of messing around!"
She’s its Contractor, who allows them to stick to her!
The first step toward becoming king is to manage these Moyus well, forbidding them to touch its Contractor, and even more to covet her brain!
"You! You! And you! Get off my Contractor’s head!" Moyu commanded, pointing with its wing at those few D-level Moyus on Qian Qi’s head, "If you want to stick to the Contractor’s brain, you must pay three shiny things! And only for a limited time of three minutes!"
Qian Qi: ???
No, how does this Ya Ya know how to do business better than her? Even selling out the Contractor?
The system issued an unfeeling laugh: [Hahahahahahahaha—]
Qian Qi twitched her mouth, leaving the Magic God Grass for Shangguan Qing’s medication, and fed the remaining Magic God Grass and Heavenly God Flower to the Moyus.
Each D-level Moyu cawed, rolling around on the ground, enduring the pain of evolution, then all grew a third small flesh wing, bouncing around merrily on the ground, flirting with each other’s little meat wings using their wings.
"System." Qian Qi beckoned to the system with her finger, "How much to buy the ’Crowing Guide’ and Moyu’s C-level to B-level cultivation method as a package?"
The system glanced at Qian Qi, [Unlock ’Crowing Guide’ for 2 million, unlock Moyu’s B-level cultivation method for 300 million.]
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi: ???
"How much?" Qian Qi let out a scream that pierced the heavens; her little rough face turned into a face of 10 times shouting, "300 million? From 3 million to 300 million? Why don’t you just go robbing?"
System: [Aren’t I robbing right now? ^_^]
Though I can clearly just rob money, I still gave you the ’Crowing Guide’ and B-level cultivation method~
Qian Qi: ...
"Fine, I’ll unlock the ’Crowing Guide’ first." Qian Qi was just about to transfer the money, but suddenly remembered something, stopping her action, "So, if I buy both, what discount will you give?"
[Uh... a 99.9% discount.] The system said reluctantly, [Considering how long we’ve been together.]
"79.9% discount." Qian Qi cut in directly, "I think our friendship has deepened enough to earn a 79.9% discount!"
[No way! B-level cultivation method at 300 million is already very cheap!] The system firmly resisted, [No bargaining!]
Qian Qi paused, then silently squatted to the side, and before long, intermittent sobbing sounds that seemed to be suppressed echoed.
The system immediately felt a bit uncomfortable; it peeked out, discovering Qian Qi wiping her eyes with her sleeve, not saying anything, just huddling her little frame there crying softly.
Thinking about how it had deliberately used a scumbag tone to taunt her earlier, she hadn’t gotten angry nor retorted, the system couldn’t help feeling it might indeed have neglected the affection.
To Qian Qi, unless she sold a medical prescription or a house, it was hard to earn that kind of money quickly.
After hesitating for a while, the system flew over and patted her back softly, [Alright~ don’t cry, though this system is unable to haggle, but I can tell you about a free instance that can be conquered.]
Qian Qi immediately lifted her head, her big eyes sparkling with surprise as she looked at the system, "Really?"
System: ...
[You weren’t crying?] The system felt tricked.
Qian Qi rubbed her little nose, honestly saying, "The night is cold, dressed thinly, my nose started running."
System: [ ...]
The system smiled slightly, its tone filled with fondness, [Well, since I spoil you? I’ll just send you a free instance as a gift ^_^~]
Qian Qi watched the expression ^_^ on its panel, holding a skeptical attitude.
[You earning money is also me earning money, why would I deceive you? ^_^] The system chuckled, [How about this, I’ll sell ’Crowing Guide’ the first installment for 20,000 yen, and after you finish your real estate deals and have money you can pay the rest, how’s that? ^_^]
Upon hearing such a good deal, Qian Qi’s little head nodded like a chick pecking rice, "Sure, sure~ I trust System Lord the most~"
After what appeared to be an ultimate tug-of-war, Qian Qi paid 20,000 to unlock the first Chapter of ’Crowing Guide’—"How to Make Your Ya Ya Family Blissful"
『Two years ago, Er Ya fell in love and married his beloved crow, striving hard in his career every day to provide her with a happy family.
Finally, one day he gained the manager’s appreciation, and the manager granted him a promotion and evolution opportunity. Er Ya worked hard and ultimately achieved the position with a third wing.
Yet things did not look up, for having a third wing attracted the attention of a covetous female crow secretary who wanted to oust the spouse and take possession of affluent Er Ya for herself, even flaunting in front of his beloved crow, clamoring for the beloved crow to give up Er Ya.
The beloved crow was deeply saddened, believing it was the third wing that was the cause; the extra wing was too conspicuous, allowing the scheming female crow secretary to try to steal her husband.
The beloved’s increasingly haggard appearance tore Er Ya apart too; he actually disliked the third wing, not only was it asymmetrical and ugly, it wasn’t convenient when loving his beloved crow either. So, in frustration, he sent the female crow secretary to the police station and reported the matter to his manager.
Upon learning the third wing almost caused Er Ya’s family to break up, the manager was guilt-ridden and quickly taught Er Ya the method to retract the third wing.
Following the method, Er Ya indeed retracted the third wing, returning to a handsome two-winged Er Ya, living a blissful life once again with his beloved crow. Even the loving became much more convenient too~
Thanks to a blissful family, Er Ya was more energetic at work; maybe soon he might achieve a fourth wing!
So, what is the manager’s method for retracting the wing that he taught Er Ya? First...』
Qian Qi "slapped" her hand onto the panel, flipping to the book cover there. Great, another damn 18+.
The content of the first Chapter of ’Crowing Guide’ had already entered her mind, Qian Qi waved at Moyu, then taught it how to retract its wing.
Moyu willed it, and the third wing indeed "swoosh" retracted, not only that, a golden single-wing feather pattern appeared on its forehead, with golden sandy energy flowing within, very magical and cool.
Moyu willed it again, and the golden single-wing feather pattern on its forehead instantly vanished, with the third wing unfolding along with a "swoosh".
"Wow!" Moyu flapped its wings happily and amazedly, "Contractor! This is brilliant! So convenient!"
"Hmm... not only convenient but also good-looking." Qian Qi said slightly pained, didn’t expect to spend 1,998,000 yuan just to buy Moyu an anchor original skin.
But money spent was spent, Qian Qi wouldn’t say much, she patted Moyu’s little head, remembering her wise past plans, her crafty little eyes suddenly squinted into little crescents.
"Ya Ya~" Qian Qi’s tone suddenly took on a beguiling pitch, "When... will you find a partner?"
Moyu was sudden and unexpectedly urged to marry: "Caw?"
