Chapter 109: Chapter 109 Chen Tong - Words Become Law?
Chen Tong hesitated for a moment, 3 horns would be 9 million, which was nearly his limit.
But the new medicine formula required unicorn horns as raw materials, and he couldn’t not buy them.
"Damn it, this damned Li Haisheng can’t be allowed to stay." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Tong’s eyes. Originally, he chose to endure again and again because of Li Haisheng’s identity as an Awakener, but since Li Haisheng was taking advantage, he might as well hire another Awakener to kill him and take back the money and horns that were originally his.
"First stabilize him to avoid alarming him." Chen Tong gritted his teeth and finally, under the guise of needing to verify the authenticity of the horns, paid a third of the deposit to buy the 3 horns, deciding later how much more to pay once the goods arrived.
But in Chen Tong’s heart, he had no plans to pay the remaining money at all.
On the other side, Qian Qi was quite regretful because he only managed to swindle a third of the deposit.
"Sigh, the kid has grown up, can’t swindle him easily anymore..."
Qian Qi let out a long sigh, based on the principle of tricking as much as he could while knowing when to stop, he finally agreed to Chen Tong’s request.
After receiving the 3 million as a deposit, Qian Qi got up and left the orphanage.
[Where are you going?]
The system was confused, the Thunderbolt Horns were clearly in the orphanage, why was she going out?
Qian Qi glanced at the system, her lips parted in a mysterious and mischievous smile.
System: ...
How did she manage to showcase "mystery" and "mischief" so thoroughly at the same time? It’s terrifying...
"I’m going to the market to teach our big son a life lesson..." Qian Qi’s little eyes narrowed into crescent moons, leaking a faint malicious glint, "That is — no cheap goods have good quality!"
System: ???
Then the system watched as Qian Qi took the subway to the neighboring market, picked out three horn-shaped decorations, and with a smiling face, stuffed them into a package to send to Chen Tong.
System was a bit worried: [Aren’t you afraid he’ll retaliate against you once he realizes what you’ve done?]
"He’ll be biting Li Haisheng, not me, what does that have to do with Qian Qi?" Qian Qi flashed her little teeth, smiling more innocently and brightly, "If he really bites, he’ll have to go to hell to find Li Haisheng."
...
Chen Tong received the package and immediately took out the horns, handing them to the Magic Plant Researcher he hired.
Who would have thought that after the researcher scrutinized them, he would say, "These... aren’t Magic Beast horns, they look like they’re made of tree sap."
Chen Tong: ???
What the heck?
"Could it be, that the Magic Beast’s horn is resin-like?"
"Impossible." The researcher picked up a special small hammer nearby and lightly tapped on a horn, which immediately cracked, "The horns of E-level Magic Beasts aren’t this fragile."
Chen Tong: !!!
Damn it! So Li Haisheng actually scammed him with fake goods?
Enraged, Chen Tong directly dialed Li Haisheng’s number, only to find that his Light Brain was switched off. Infuriated, he furiously typed and cursed Li Haisheng using choice words on his Light Brain, wishing him death and hoping the beasts in the instance would torture him bit by bit, questioning what use a shameless brain has.
But on the other end, Li Haisheng never replied back, as if he were dead.
Until two days later, when his secretary suddenly rushed into the office, pointing at the news on the Light Brain.
On the light screen, the forum for the instances suddenly reported the death list of Awakeners in the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon over the past two days, praising their bravery for entering the instance and accompanying it with honorable posthumous photos of those who sacrificed their lives to protect humanity.
Chen Tong saw that Li Haisheng’s name was prominently on the list, his body was either shattered from a fall from the sky or bitten to pieces by Magic Beasts, with no sign of his head.
Chen Tong: ???
No way... I was just cursing him, did he actually die?
Then his money and horns would be confiscated!
Thinking about his 8 million, Chen Tong was so enraged that he actually fainted from the anger.
As for Chen Tong, Qian Qi was oblivious.
She was currently standing near the entrance of the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon.
The house she had listed on the real estate trading app earlier did not fetch an ideal auction price.
The reason it wasn’t ideal was due to the high entry barriers for the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon, if Awakeners didn’t have flying skills or access to Hovercars and helicopters, even if they cleared the instance, they wouldn’t be able to leave.
This caused the real estate prices near the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon to be dozens of times lower compared to other instance locations.
There was no way Qian Qi would let the property end up in her own hands.
She had to bring life back to the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon, so Awakeners wouldn’t be deterred by that ridiculous barrier, allowing local property prices to soar upward and netting her a fortune.
With this in mind, Qian Qi’s resolve strengthened even more, she had to be present for this refresh of the dungeon boss.
However, she was currently a "dead person" in order to conceal her identity, Qian Qi had disguised herself.
On her head, she wore a beach-style sun hat, paired with oversized black sunglasses to cover her piercing eyes completely, her slightly upturned lips adorned with a blade of grass picked from somewhere, exuding a casual smile.
As for her outfit, she sported a pink flashy floral shirt slightly open at the front, matched with Hawaiian short leaf-patterned shorts, and brown woven flip-flops, making one wonder if she was there for a holiday rather than entering the dungeon.
Of course, the most eye-catching item was the shiny brand new red helicopter behind her.
Qian Qi glanced at the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon, observing those Awakeners hovering at the entrance but not entering, they all purchased parachutes but worried about not being able to return to high altitude once they landed on the ground, they could only gaze at the instance with lament.
"Although the instance has been cleared, to enter it requires flying skills."
"Indeed, even if you don’t have flying skills, you need a helicopter or Hovercar, otherwise, how will you return?"
"We thought we could tackle another E-level instance, but who would’ve thought that this instance has a barrier for entry, only the wealthy can go in..."
Someone saw Qian Qi and couldn’t help but enviously point their lips, "Look, a wealthy person who can afford a helicopter."
Qian Qi saw them looking over and waved at them generously.
Upon seeing Qian Qi waving, those chatting among themselves looked at each other then walked over out of curiosity.
Qian Qi took a small wooden board from the helicopter.
Those folks looked curiously, and upon seeing the words on it, their eyes widened, "Chuyun Mountain Dungeon return ticket, only 30,000?"
"That’s right!" Qian Qi smiled as her lips curled upwards, the grass blade swaying slightly, "You all must be worried about how to exit the instance, right? By purchasing a Chuyun Mountain return ticket now, once the instance is cleared, you can leave directly via helicopter~"
"No need to envy the Flying Awakeners, no need to envy wealthy people with helicopters, for only 30,000 you’ll enjoy luxurious flight services, act fast before it’s too late, and the first ten buyers unlock an 80% discount privilege~"
Upon hearing there was a limited-time discount, those Awakeners were instantly enticed, while one cautiously asked, "How can you guarantee you’ll come to pick us up? Won’t you just take our money and run?"
"After the boss is slain, I’ll enter the dungeon and wait for you at the entrance’s base." Qian Qi pointed at the helicopter behind her, "It’s an IKD Flying Group helicopter; I’ve signed a contract with them, you won’t be scammed."
They looked and indeed saw the distinctive IKD letters emblazoned on the eye-catching red helicopter.
"IKD, isn’t that the latest aircraft company?"
"I heard it’s been heavily suppressed by other aviation companies, now they’ve fallen to renting out helicopters..."
Qian Qi clicked her tongue, tapping the signs impolitely, "What are you talking about? Heads up, seated behind me is IKD’s young master, he’s personally here to pilot for you, guaranteed flying skills, you’re lucky!"
They immediately stopped talking, gazing into the helicopter, and in the cockpit, a handsome young man waved at them, revealing a face that was indeed the news-featured IKD’s young master, Sheng Qinghong.
