Chapter 119: Chapter 119: I, Who Have No Skills, Became Invincible in the Instance
"Be a decent person, Tongzi!" Qian Qi gritted her teeth. She only had three bucks left in her pocket, and it still wanted to empty her out?
"Leave me a dollar to buy a bun, alright?" Qian Qi negotiated.
System: [Dear, you can’t buy a bun for one dollar ^v^~]
"As expected, the system is generous, willing to leave me a dollar fifty!" Qian Qi was immediately moved and promptly transferred two dollars and twenty-four cents to the system.
System: ???
What I meant was that you can’t buy a bun for one dollar, so you might as well give me all of it. I didn’t mean I’m willing to waive a dollar fifty for you!
How come the poorer she gets, the stingier she becomes!
The system cursed inwardly but still translated the Moon Silver Demon Wolf’s meaning for Qian Qi: [What she’s saying is to adopt this weak wolf cub. Whether it agrees to a contract with you if it ever gets the chance for Awakened Skills depends on its own willingness.]
Qian Qi was puzzled, "What do you mean by the chance for Awakened Skills?"
"Magic Beast Study" didn’t mention anything like that, but based on her understanding, it seemed like all Magic Beasts had levels and skills, right?
Could it be that some Magic Beasts are unable to awaken skills?
Qian Qi stroked the fur of the little wolf cub in her arms; it was soft and comforting, and the little wolf cub let out a comfortable whine.
Looking at the handsome and cute little wolf cub, she couldn’t help but imagine a novel titled "I’m killing crazy in the dungeon as a skillless and useless magical beast".
Ah, if she were to write a novel, people in this world might actually read it, right?
The system, completely unaware of the strange things Qian Qi was imagining in her seemingly calm mind, mysteriously commented, [This question is included in that 300,000.]
"Alright." Pockets empty, Qian Qi wasn’t interested in expensive knowledge. She held the little wolf cub and walked to the honey jar, scooping out two spoonfuls of Magic Honey to feed the cub.
She didn’t mind if it was useless; if the skill-less wolf cub couldn’t survive in the dungeon, she’d take it out and raise it outside.
Just perfect, the orphanage needed a guard dog, oh no, a guard wolf.
Qian Qi was just about to leave the dungeon with Qian Ba when the Moon Silver Demon Wolf suddenly lowered its head again and gave a lick behind Qian Qi’s neck.
Qian Qi shivered from the lick, with goosebumps all over, wiped off the saliva behind her neck, and turned to look at the Moon Silver Mother Wolf in confusion, "What are you doing?"
The Moon Silver Mother Wolf withdrew its gaze calmly, nostalgically licking its youngest child.
Qian Qi was a bit lost; she glanced at the system, which instead showed a face craving money.
Qian Qi: ...
Forget it, she wasn’t the least bit curious!
Qian Qi left the dungeon angrily, hugging the little wolf cub.
Unbeknownst to her, a small, strange silver magic pattern was faintly glowing behind her neck, and then it seemed to seep into her skin, gradually dimming and disappearing.
——
The children in the orphanage were very interested in the new member of the family, surrounding the little wolf cub with eyes full of curiosity, wide open and shining.
The little wolf cub also curiously tilted its head, staring at these little human cubs.
Being fed to its satisfaction by Qian Qi, and because these little human cubs resembled Qian Qi and carried her scent, it harbored no hostility towards them.
One wolf and many humans stared each other down, while in the courtyard, Qian Qi sat on a small bench, frowning, with one hand holding a book titled "Building Methods Even a Fool Would Understand", and the other wielding a hammer for nails.
As the saying goes, every profession is mountainous; although she could repair fences and the like, building a doghouse with a foundation, oh no, a wolf house was still challenging.
Qian Ba, although growing slowly, was quite active, and a regular wolf house would easily be dragged somewhere else by it, so Qian Qi wanted to build a more sturdy one.
Oh right, Qian Ba was the name she gave to the wolf cub. It was the eighth born, and since she delivered it, it should take her surname and be her cub.
Setting down the "Stupid House", Qian Qi worked hard laying the foundation for the wolf house. Just as she was deeply engaged in her work, she heard the sound of a car door at the entrance of the orphanage.
She looked up and glanced, noticing Sikong Wang holding a box, peeking into the orphanage.
"Hey~ over here~" Qian Qi called, waving a hand at Sikong Wang.
Seeing Qian Qi, Sikong Wang seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as he ran over with large steps.
"Qian Qi, how have you been lately?" Sikong Wang greeted formulaically.
"Spare me the pleasantries." Qian Qi put down the hammer, gave Sikong Wang a once-over, then raised an eyebrow slightly surprised, "Hasn’t it been long since we last met? Have you gained weight?"
If it were ordinary weight gain, Qian Qi wouldn’t have noticed, but Sikong Wang now noticeably gained two circles, visibly overweight.
Sikong Wang scratched his head awkwardly, "I’ve been eating a bit too much lately."
Qian Qi couldn’t help but recall how slowly and elegantly Sikong Wang ate last time.
Well, he kept such manners in front of her, obviously restraining himself.
"Wangwang, you need to keep up the exercise!" Qian Qi advised with good intentions, "You’re overweight, that’s not healthy."
If one day high blood pressure got him by mistake, where could she find such a generous big client again?
Sikong Wang nodded, "I will."
"Alright then." Qian Qi’s gaze fell on the iron box in Sikong Wang’s hand, "Did you find the Magic God Grass?"
"I can’t be sure if it is." Sikong Wang carefully opened the box, revealing several transparent glass bottles, each containing a magic plant leaf.
Qian Qi leaned in and saw the leaves inside these glass bottles writhing or struggling; they were indeed C-level Magic Plants, staying vibrant even separated from their bodies.
Out of the six bottles, Qian Qi analyzed three and found none were Magic God Grass.
She closed the box, "I can only give you an answer tomorrow."
Sikong Wang’s nervous gaze shifted from the box to Qian Qi’s face, uneasily asking, "Qiqi, what’s the likelihood it could be Magic God Grass?"
"Hard to say, you better prepare yourself mentally." Qian Qi was ready to put the box somewhere safe, to avoid the risk of little children touching it. Seeing her walk away, Sikong Wang hurriedly followed, "Can I stay at a nearby hotel for a day, and come find you directly tomorrow?"
"Why stay at a hotel!" Qian Qi quickly waved, almost feeling pity, if he had the money to stay at a hotel, why not give it to her!
She was so poor!
But she still said, "If you don’t mind, you can stay right here. We’ve cleaned the place compared to hotels."
Sikong Wang’s eyes lit up, naturally hoping to stay as close to Qian Qi as possible, "Then I’ll trouble you."
"No trouble at all." Qian Qi replied politely, then that indistinct gaze mildly swept over Sikong Wang’s empty hands.
Sikong Wang immediately understood, explaining, "The driver with the meeting gift is still on the way, should be here shortly, I came ahead."
Qian Qi nodded with satisfaction, patting Sikong Wang’s shoulder like a kind elder, "Good kid, tonight I’ll make dumplings with meat for you!"
