Chapter 151: Chapter 151 That’s a Different Price Then~
When Qian Qi woke up the next day, she found that the group chat already had 99+ sarcastic proverbs.
"Wow, are they flipping through the proverb dictionary while hurling insults at each other?"
She glanced over and found that these two old men only went to sleep at 4 a.m. and then got up at 7 a.m. to continue their sarcastic banter with seemingly more vigor than her as a young person.
Qian Qi replied with a message saying, "Two B-level Defense Armors, three C-level Defense Armors, 50 million once," and then turned off the Light Brain to enter the Vegetable Garden Dungeon in the backyard.
Having brought back Moyu yesterday and given it a day off, it was time to start Guardian Beast training today.
"Tell me, what skills do you have?" Qian Qi asked Moyu, who was standing opposite her, with arms crossed.
Typically, an E-level Magical Beast has only one skill, while a D-level Magical Beast has two. As a D-level Magical Beast, Moyu should naturally have two skills.
Moyu was perched on a hoe stuck in the ground, grooming its feathers with its beak. Upon hearing the question, it tilted its head, "Skills?"
After searching through the human language system, it finally figured out what skills meant and quickly replied, "I can swallow round stones with a maximum diameter of 10cm, I have excellent eyesight to find shiny things, and I’m very skilled at flirting with lady crows!"
Qian Qi: ???
I’m asking about legitimate skills, not these peculiar ones?!
"Forget it, let me rephrase. How do you usually kill your natural enemies?" Qian Qi pointed at a newly made scarecrow not far away, "Show me an example."
"Caw caw, this is too simple~" Moyu flapped its wings, and before Qian Qi could blink, the scarecrow not far away was cut in half with a "click," its straw head dropping to the ground looking quite pitiable.

She turned to look at Moyu, still perched on the hoe, continuing to peck at its feathers, as if it hadn’t moved an inch.
"How did you do that?" Qian Qi’s eyes almost popped.
She was now really envious of magical beasts! Why do their skills seem so awesome!
"That’s how." Moyu raised its right wing horizontally, "Fly over, slash it, and it’s done."
Fly over?
So Moyu actually moved just now? It was just too fast for her to see?
Curious, Qian Qi leaned over to touch it, finding that the tip of Moyu’s feathers was quite sharp and hard. She gave it a hard scrape with her thumb; though not as sharp as the collapsible D-level Long Blade, in a high-speed situation, it was hard to say who would win.
"How fast are you?" Qian Qi asked, pinching the tip of its wing.
"Don’t know." Moyu shook its head; it didn’t know numbers, so it wasn’t clear about its speed.
Moyu didn’t know, so Qian Qi had to figure it out, but she didn’t have any equipment to measure speed.
Just when Qian Qi was about to go online to buy a speedometer, the system panel suddenly popped up.
[Oh~ My dear Qian Qi~ Are you curious about Moyu’s specific skills and want to teach it according to its abilities~]
The system panel displayed a big payment QR code to make sure Qian Qi saw it, [By paying 20 million, this system can enable the "Contracted Beast" Skill Identification feature to identify all skills of a contracted beast~]
Qian Qi raised her eyebrows suspiciously, "Why for Contracted Beasts? What about magical beasts?"
The system grinned: [That’s a different price~＾ｖ＾~]
Qian Qi: ...
"You’ve changed," Qian Qi said pensively, "You used to take exactly how much money I had, but now you’ve learned to ask for more."
The system shook its panel, [Wrong, previously, I provided services based on how much money you had.]
In other words, even if there were multi-million deals beneficial to Qian Qi, it wouldn’t sell to her first.
Of course, mainly for the sake of gradual progress to be secure.
"Then why did you change your mind this time?" Qian Qi was puzzled; she currently had only 2 million in her pocket, but the system was asking for 20 million. It was clear it had some plan.
The system showed a kindly smile: [A Demon Nightmare Beast could sell for 1.25 million, catch another 14.5 Demon Nightmare Beasts, and you’ll earn it~]
Qian Qi: ???
Oh, so it’s because she could immediately make 20 million, hence willing to do this deal!
"Well then, it’s just right to take Moyu for some training." Qian Qi tapped her chin. With less than a month before school started, there was no need for training in the E-level dungeon. Fighting D-level Magical Beasts in the Yanjiao Dungeon would be more in line with her growth trajectory.
"So let’s go back and hunt D-level Magical Beasts." Qian Qi stroked Moyu, who flew to her shoulder, then suddenly remembered, "By the way, what about your second skill? What is it?"
Moyu shook its little head, "Don’t have one, just this kind of attack."
No more? Could speed and wing attack actually be two skills?
Qian Qi was puzzled but didn’t ask further. Moyu probably didn’t know either, so they should wait until getting the Skill Identification system function!
...
Before returning to the Yanjiao Dungeon, Qian Qi first checked the Awakener forum.
Magical Beast recovery prices vary according to type, level, damage, and life status, with living ones being most costly, regardless of selling to a recycling station or live magical beast dealer, it’s quite a sum.
Qian Qi, focusing on quick finishes, extracted the sleep-inducing yellow smoke stored inside the two hijacked Demon Nightmare Beasts, collecting it all into mineral water bottles.
"Ya Ya, go find nearby D-level Magical Beasts, preferably a male and a female." Qian Qi instructed Moyu, whose speed and ability to fly made it fit to serve as an aerial scout to observe nearby conditions for her.
Moyu spread its wings and flew away, soon sending a message back to Qian Qi’s brain area: "Contractor, come quickly! There are two beasts here! Exactly one male and one female!"
Qian Qi tossed the mineral water bottle into the woven grass basket on her back. Her previous pinky backpack was too small for bottles, so she spent 15 yuan buying an old basket the neighbor granny used for junk collecting.
Wearing a big grass basket, Qian Qi hurriedly ran toward Moyu and quickly reunited with it.
Moyu excitedly pointed with its sharp wing towards a waterfall, quietly taking credit, "Contractor, see! There’s a pair of beasts doing something naughty, definitely one male and one female!"
Qian Qi abruptly stopped: ???
Something naughty?
Stiffly lifting her head to look ahead, sure enough, beside the stream under the waterfall, she saw two leopard-type magical beasts diligently creating beast offspring.
Qian Qi: ...
What to do, being forced to watch a beast flick for the first time makes her strangely nervous?
"Contractor, take them out!" Moyu seemed quite excited, exclaiming with raised wings, "This is the anger from a single crow and a single dog!"
Qian Qi: ?
I’m a human, not a dog?
The kind of messed-up language system it inherited... Qian Qi was speechless. She raised a hand to grab a mineral water bottle from the grass basket, loosened the cap, and threw it towards the two leopard-type magical beasts.
