Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Where Did the Person Come From?
The Demon Nightmare Beast belongs to the category of Spiritual Magical Beasts, and its price is much higher than that of common Elemental Magic Beasts. Even if Qian Qi only got an eighty percent share, he still received a million.
"Shall we team up again if there’s a chance?" At the time of parting, Liang Yongjie sent a friend request on the Light Brain to Qian Qi.
Qian Qi agreed gladly, "Next time you want to buy Hemostatic Medicine, just contact me directly."
She still admired the Liang brothers quite a lot since they kept protecting the students in the instance. Just for that alone, it was worth doing business with them.
After Qian Qi left, Liang Yongjie opened the Light Brain and prepared to write about the presence of a Demon Snake Group in the Yanjiao Dungeon on the Dungeon Association forum to warn other Awakeners not to fall into the trap.
However, as soon as he opened it, he saw the homepage announcement of the Dungeon Association prominently stating, "Student Qian Qi has joined the Dungeon Association, working together to create a safe world."
Remembering something, Liang Yongjie quickly opened the news about Qian Qi, and upon hearing Qian Qi’s voice inside, he was suddenly enlightened, "Yongjun, she indeed is Qian Qi!"
Previously, when watching the news, he hadn’t paid special attention to Qian Qi’s voice, but now, after experiencing an instance with Little Qian, he had become familiar with her voice. Watching the news again, the voices of the two were exactly the same!
Upon closer observation, both had very similar body shapes and facial features. The only difference, perhaps, was that Qian Qi at the hospital had short hair cascading smoothly, adding a touch of heroic spirit, while in real life, Little Qian’s hair was like a bird’s nest, covering her eyes, making her look like a boy.
"Students nowadays are truly remarkable..." Remembering how he used to worry about Qian Qi dying in the instance, Liang Yongjie shook his head with a smile and turned to his teammates, saying, "Let’s go home."
He looked forward to teaming up with Qian Qi again in the future.
Who knows how much she will have grown by then?
——
After separating from Liang Yongjie’s team, Qian Qi took a truck back to the Bright Orphanage.
By now, it was noon, and the children should be eating in the dining hall at the front. With her conspicuous turtle shell, she climbed over the back fence of the orphanage into the backyard and sneaked into the Vegetable Garden Dungeon with Moyu.
Silver was guarding a field nearby, watching a few Little Silver Wolves play and frolic at the side. Seeing Qian Qi return, it flicked its long, fluffy silver tail gently across her neck as a greeting.
However, as the tail retracted, it was suddenly bitten by Moyu on Qian Qi’s shoulder, and with a light tug, a mouthful of silver fur was pulled off.
Silver: ???
"Shiny things~" Moyu flapped its wings happily, carrying the silver wolf fur into the turtle shell.
Silver turned to Qian Qi, its eyes full of questions: Where did you bring back this uncivilized one? So unruly?
Qian Qi: ...
She also hadn’t expected Moyu to be so undiscriminating, even wanting wolf fur?
Oh? Speaking of which...
Qian Qi’s eyes darted around, and she turned into the small wooden hut, rummaging through a box until she found a small mirror.
"Moyu~" Qian Qi waved at Moyu with a smile, saying playfully, "Do you want shiny things~?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Moyu nodded repeatedly, its Bao Hongya eyes wide open, "I want shiny things~ lots of shiny things~"
"How about this?" Qian Qi placed the small mirror in front of Moyu.
The silver, bright mirror surface reflected Moyu’s feathers distinctly better than the rippling lake surface had ever done. Moyu excitedly flapped its wings, "Super shiny! Moyu’s favorite!"
Just as it wanted to take the small mirror and hide it in the turtle shell, Qian Qi suddenly raised the small mirror higher, waving her index finger with a serious expression, "This shiny item is very precious, rare in this world. If you want it, you must trade your shiny things for it!"
Moyu blinked, "You’re talking nonsense, that thing on the truck has six shiny pieces!"
Qian Qi: ...
System: [Pff~]
Qian Qi suddenly realized that having a Contracted Beast that was too smart was not such a good thing; it was hard to fool.
"Little Raven..." Qian Qi sighed deeply, gently stroking Moyu’s head, "Shiny things can be divided into grades, even more so for mirrors. That rearview mirror on the truck is worthless; the one I have is valuable."
"Look, how smooth and glossy this small mirror is, with beautiful patterns on the back symbolizing the richness of spring. It possesses invisible magic that blesses you to find more shiny things."
"Whereas that rearview mirror is dusty, with a style not as exquisite as this one. In our human world, it’s the lowest grade of mirror, found everywhere! By contrast, mine is unique, much harder to find than those shiny things you treasure!"
"I’m willing to trade with you solely because you are my most beloved Contracted Beast. If it were your big brother asking for trade, I wouldn’t even consider it!" Qian Qi crossed her arms, speaking proudly.
System: ?
Hey, don’t refer to me; even given for free, I’m not interested!
Moyu tilted its head, pondering for a while. From its observation, there indeed were many vehicles with that kind of mirror outside. However, the small mirror Qian Qi had, it had never seen one such.
This indicates that the small mirror is indeed rare.
Moreover, the Contractor actually said she cherished it the most, filling Moyu with joy, fluttering its wings, "Alright! Go choose one from my shiny things!"
"Three!" Qian Qi held up three fingers, a look of reluctance and pain as she caressed the small mirror in her hands, "Not any less!"
This expression and tone seemed to indicate a huge sacrifice, greatly moving Moyu, "Then three shiny things! Not one more!"
Haha! It seems Moyu is still easy to fool after all!
Qian Qi’s expression twisted instantly, playful and cheeky, with none of the previous pride and seriousness.
She promptly stuffed the small mirror into Moyu’s mouth and eagerly began choosing items in front of the turtle shell.
A small mirror costs 2 yuan, and three shiny things must be worth tens of thousands. If she could pick something valuable, it might even be worth hundreds of thousands!
Watching eagerly, the system couldn’t resist wanting a share of the loot, [Oh~ my dear Qian Qi~ do you wish to find the most valuable item among a pile of shiny things? If you are willing to share ten percent with me, I can give you some pointers~]
"No need." Qian Qi’s intention wasn’t to sell; she rummaged through the shiny things, finally choosing three thin and light scale armors.
She wanted to sew an inner armor to protect the vital areas for Xiao Min and the others. While she could directly buy Defense Armor, that would be too high-profile. Qian Qi feared that bad people might target Xiao Min and the others; if they were robbed and hurt, it wouldn’t be worth it.
Putting those three scale armors into her backpack, Qian Qi turned around to see Moyu carefully placing the small mirror into the turtle shell and then belching out Liang Yongjun’s watch.
The watch was clean, unstained with any gastric juice, which made Qian Qi find it quite curious.
After Moyu hid the watch among a pile of shiny things, it looked up to see Qian Qi’s glowing eyes.
Moyu: "What’s up?"
Qian Qi pondered for two seconds, "I’m quite curious about your internal structure. Can I dissect you to have a look? I wonder if it can be transformed into a personal space!"
Moyu: ???
Don’t come any closer!!!
