Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Using the Son to Command His Mother
Actually, the Moon Silver Mother Wolf does not trust the Bone Worm Beast, but because it was brought back by Qian Qi, she let her guard down.
Qian Qi also did not trust the Bone Worm Beast, so after leaving the Vegetable Garden Dungeon, she took the Bone Worm Beast and the Magic Beast Egg back to school together.
The Magic Beast Egg is the Achilles’ heel of the Bone Worm Beast. As long as the egg is in her hands, the Bone Worm Beast dares not act out in front of her.
This made Qian Qi feel like a kidnapper with the vibe of "using the son to command its mother".
In the Magic Beast Warehouse, Qian Qi stood in a small dark room cleared out by Uncle Li for her and put the Magic Beast Egg of the Bone Worm Beast and the Earth Rhinoceros Spirit together into a bathtub filled with a mixture of Green Sheep Snake Fruit and Concentration Fruit liquid.
"You stay here honestly with your son and go nowhere!"
Fearing that the Bone Worm Beast might not understand, Qian Qi took down a small box from her waist. Inside the box were the remains of caterpillars she picked up from the back mountain.
She plucked out a caterpillar’s remains and placed it at the door, then pushed it past the doorstep and stomped on it with her sandal, grinding it to pulp.
With a fierce face, she said, "Leave, and die!"
Then she put another caterpillar’s remains in the bathtub, pulled it out again for a sandal whipping, and said grimly, "Steal food, and die too!"
Finally, she put the third caterpillar’s remains on the Egg of the Earth Rhinoceros Spirit and, glaring with eyes bulging like Zhong Kui catching demons, slammed it with a sandal, "Eat the egg, and you must die even more!"
"Understand?" After the demonstration, Qian Qi turned to the Bone Worm Beast and asked with a smile.
Bone Worm Beast: ...
System: [... I’m truly worried about your future children.]
"You’re worrying about too many things." Qian Qi chuckled, and after threatening the Bone Worm Beast, she finally closed the door and left.
Inside the room, the Bone Worm Beast blinked its eyes, glanced at the Earth Rhinoceros Egg next to the Black Magic Beast Egg, its tail tip slightly twitching, and after a moment of silence, the skin and flesh on its mouth rapidly wriggled, eventually transforming into a huge mouth, engulfing the Earth Rhinoceros Egg in the tub.
"Bang——" The door was instantly kicked open, Qian Qi holding a flip-flop threw it over, angrily shouting, "Brat, you think my words don’t matter to you?!"
The Bone Worm Beast was startled, hurriedly retracting its big mouth, trying to cover up its crime with an innocent look.
But Qian Qi wouldn’t fall for it at all, she directly grabbed the Bone Worm Beast, and with one punch smashed it to pulp, even confiscating its row of small white teeth.
Without teeth, the Bone Worm Beast instantly wilted, looking pitiful like a toothless old granny, lying on the Magic Beast Egg radiating an air of despair and hopelessness.
Only then did Qian Qi leave satisfied.
...
After settling the Bone Worm Beast and the Magic Beast Egg, Qian Qi quickly sold off the house on Full Moon Street she had bought earlier.
Fucheng is considered a relatively safe A-class city, with stable dungeons, so the house prices are naturally high. Previously, Qian Qi’s savings couldn’t buy many houses.
But now, with the C-level dungeon just conquered and the Dungeon Association’s announcement confirming the dungeon boss as an Ice Attribute Magic Beast, the house prices that had previously dropped suddenly skyrocketed. Selling the house, she made ten times the original price.
When the Full Moon Street dungeon refreshes with a new boss five months later, I’m afraid house prices will soar even more.
But even with such high house prices, there are still many businessmen and rich people willing to pay for it. After all, a C-level dungeon means many C-level Awakeners live nearby. Who wouldn’t want more Awakeners living around them for a safer environment?
Even if the place they currently live in is safe, no one can guarantee it will always be safe, so having an extra residence is an extra safeguard.
After selling the house and receiving the money, Qian Qi bought the cultivation method for D-level Concentration Fruit and unlocked the evolution method panel for Moyu into B-level.
[The essence of Concentration Fruit evolution:
X875 type Magic Plant Seeds are divided into seed shield, seed embryo, and seed core. The seed core is composed of a filament network structure, including the main filament network, bridge filaments, and magic liquid. The magic liquid contains primary genetic material, which can undergo a nuclear energy fusion under a specific magic reaction to achieve evolution.]
[You need to find the stomach acid of a D-level White-tailed Snow Mink, Ice Crystal Deer Horn of an Ice Crystal Deer Beast, a fresh heart of a Double-tailed Enchanting Spirit Fox within three days, Lantern Juice extracted from Drunken Dragon Lantern Grass, Vermilion Bird Demon Ginseng, Thunder Flame Burst Dragon Fruit, Red Orchid, Blood Bone Tianma...]
Looking at the long list of Magic Plant names, Qian Qi quietly wiped a cold sweat.
[Of course, because our boss Qian Qi has the magical farming skill "Divine Hand," there is no need to look for the Magic Plants after Red Orchid, Blood Bone Tianma, and Yellow Lotus Essence∩_∩~]
Qian Qi: !!!
Long live Divine Hand!!!
Long live the Golden Finger!!!
After confirming the evolution method of Concentration Fruit, Qian Qi opened the system panel and unlocked the cultivation method for Moyu’s upgrade to B-level.
[Magic Beast Name: Moyu
Magic Beast Level: C-level → B-level
Cultivation Method: Beast Taming Space Training.]
Looking at the brief three lines, Qian Qi blinked, "Beast Taming Space Training?"
[∩_∩] The system smiled warmly: [You’ve finally reached this point, but I suggest you first improve your spiritual power before proceeding with the Beast Taming Space Training.]
The term Beast Taming Space Training was undoubtedly unfamiliar to Qian Qi, but since the system advised her to enhance her spiritual power first, she no longer asked, knowing a question posed to the system would be left unanswered.
Rubbing her chin, Qian Qi opened Li Hongsheng’s chat box.
Drunken Dragon Lantern Grass, Vermilion Bird Demon Ginseng, and Thunder Flame Burst Dragon Fruit are all recorded Magic Plants, and if growing them takes time, better to ask Li Hongsheng for a convenient alternative.
[I am your uncle]: Dean Li, how have you been lately?
[Studying for the rise of Magic Plants]: No money.
[I am your uncle]: Oh dear, Dean, this sounds so distant. Do you think I’m contacting you just to scam you out of money?
[Studying for the rise of Magic Plants]: What do you intend to do then?
[I am your uncle]: Do you have any Drunken Dragon Lantern Grass, Vermilion Bird Demon Ginseng, or Thunder Flame Burst Dragon Fruit ready?
[Studying for the rise of Magic Plants]: ... Vermilion Bird Demon Ginseng, yes, but as for Drunken Dragon Lantern Grass and Thunder Flame Burst Dragon Fruit, they are available in the campus D-level dungeon.
Campus dungeon?
Raising an eyebrow, Qian Qi browsed the forum and then directly contacted Zhang Feng and Liu Jingshao to post a notice together.
[Paid acquisition of Drunken Dragon Lantern Grass and Thunder Flame Burst Dragon Fruit, reward being 2 packs of Qian Qi brand hemostatic medicine.]
Zhang Feng is the president of the Planting Club, and Liu Jingshao is in charge of the Farmhouse. Both have forum accounts followed by many students, and coupled with Qian Qi’s Eastern Thousand Riders account, it quickly swept through the Skill Department and Beast Taming Department. Soon, students took on the task and entered the D-level campus dungeon.
During non-exam periods of the D-level dungeon when bosses aren’t refreshed, D-level and higher Awakener students can freely enter the campus dungeon, so quickly, Qian Qi received lots of Drunken Dragon Lantern Grass and Thunder Flame Burst Dragon Fruit.
After solving the Magic Plant issues, Qian Qi also turned her attention to Magic Beasts.
She opened Wei Bisheng’s chat box and greeted warmly.
[I am your uncle]: Dear~ how’s the use of our hypnotic spray here? Any additional orders needed?
