Chapter 84: Chapter 84 This matter is known to heaven and earth, you know, I know...
"For example... a bit of special privileges or something." Qian Qi chuckled, his smile full of sleazy and cunning vibes.
Principal: ...
Hey, can you control your facial expressions?
It’s obvious you’re up to something dodgy!
"So what kind of privileges are you looking for?" The principal sat back in his office chair, wanting to see how far Qian Qi’s ambitions extended to even ask him for privileges.
Qian Qi rubbed his hands together, his eyes narrowing into slits, "It’s nothing too difficult, just wondering if you’ve heard about a dual degree?"
Dual degree?
The principal naturally knew about this. Normal universities had always retained the tradition of dual degrees, allowing students to study two different majors simultaneously. As long as they met the graduation requirements, they could receive two degree certificates, making them more competitive in the job market.
However, Awakener University didn’t have this tradition. Awakeners with dual skills were rare, often having many teachers for one student. A dual degree certificate was unnecessary.
Moreover, probably only those in the Magic Plant Department and Magic Beast Department entering the research institute would need degree certificates. In other cases, strength was revered, and a degree certificate didn’t signify much.
"So, why are you asking about this?" The principal was puzzled, unable to discern her true intentions.
"Of course, it’s for researching magic beasts!" Qian Qi said earnestly, "You see, I research magic plants, so I definitely need to research contracted beasts too! Otherwise, how can I develop magic plants that enhance contracted beasts’ strength? And since I’m researching contracted beasts, I need to learn about magic beasts!"
"To understand magic beasts, I have to study at the Magic Beast Department College and hopefully work at the Magic Beast Research Institute for a few years. Wanting to enter the Magic Beast Research Institute naturally requires..."
"I get it," the principal interrupted Qian Qi’s rambling, "I can grant you extra privileges for this, no problem."
"Then how about waiving our tuition fees, book fees, dormitory fees, and such?" Qian Qi rubbed his hands with a knowing expression, "If you could sponsor me a bit for living expenses, that’d be even better~"
Principal: ...
The principal honestly couldn’t understand, Qian Qi still had about six million, yet he was so stingy he wouldn’t even spend a few thousand?
"I can promise all of these, but you must participate in this term’s final professional exam and rank within the top three for me to convince the Magic Beast Department dean to agree to your admission."
The principal wasn’t omnipotent; for the dual degree, he still needed to discuss with the Magic Beast Department dean since it was the dean who issued the degree certificate, not him.
Qian Qi nodded repeatedly, assuring, "Don’t worry principal, no problem!"
"And the Blood Stopping Magic Potion recipe?" The principal hinted.
"Rest assured, as long as you sign the contract and confirm that I can get the Magic Beast Department’s degree certificate after graduation, I’ll immediately send the Blood Stopping Magic Potion recipe to Dean Li!" Qian Qi promised with utmost confidence before changing her tone, "But..."
"But what?" The principal immediately became cautious.
"But, this deal between us should remain a secret between heaven, earth, you, and me..." Qian Qi lowered her voice, looking serious, "but don’t let Dean Li or Su Ang know!"
"Why?" The principal stared at Qian Qi suspiciously, suspecting she might have ulterior motives.
"Asking more won’t do you any good." Qian Qi waved her hand lazily, "Only you and the Magic Beast Department dean need to know about the dual degree matter. Anyway, if I find out from Dean Li or Su Ang that you betrayed me, none of you three should expect to buy anything from me again in the future!"
The principal could only nod, "Okay, I’ll keep it confidential for you."
Qian Qi smiled in satisfaction and slammed the contract in front of the principal, "Sign and stamp it!"
The principal didn’t rush to sign the contract. After reading it carefully, he found a loophole, "It seems like you only mentioned the Blood Stopping Magic Potion? What about the Defense Fruit?"
Qian Qi nonchalantly picked at her ear, "I haven’t figured out how to grow the Defense Fruit yet. You and Teacher Mo keep an eye on my experimental field every day; you should know whether I’ve been planting Defense Fruit recently?"
The principal fell silent, feeling slightly guilty.
Qian Qi glanced at the principal with a meaningful smile, "But don’t be too disheartened, principal. When I figure it out, maybe I’ll give it to you for free~"
As for how long that would take, it would depend on when Senior Su Ang transferred three hundred million to her account~
Oh my~
What evil plan could Little Qian Qi have? It’s just a deal to earn triple the money~~~
Qian Qi put away the contract with glee, ready to leave.
The principal suddenly called her back.
"By the way, Qian Qi, do you want to come to the Conducting Department College to test your spiritual power?"
Qian Qi paused her steps.
She held her head, "System, will testing spiritual power read memories or discover you?"
System: [...No, don’t worry about it.]
Only then did Qian Qi feel relieved, still curious about her spiritual power level, as elusive things always piqued curiosity, even for Qian Qi.
Of course, the thing she loved the most was still her beloved money!
...
Testing spiritual power requires a special simulation chamber.
Awakeners usually have spiritual power, but because spiritual power levels do not correlate with skill levels, those with high spiritual power haven’t awakened spiritual system skills either. Experts believe awakening skills and spiritual power are unrelated.
Qian Qi sat in the simulation chamber, wearing a special helmet. Following the operation instructions, she turned on the switch on the helmet, feeling something pressing against her temple.
As she rubbed her hands together, ready to start the test, the system annoyingly stuck to her face.
[Your spiritual power level is: D-level.]
Qian Qi: ???
What the hell?
This move from the system felt like it was prepared just when she had her fried chicken, beer, and popcorn ready to watch a long-awaited romance movie, only for someone to suddenly tell her the male lead dies of cancer at the end. The myocardial infarction-like feeling made Qian Qi burst into a rage, throwing the system against the chamber wall and punching it twice.
"You spoiler!" Qian Qi raged helplessly.
[Haha, you’re not furious about the spoiler, but because you discovered you’re a D-level weakling, right?]
The system mercilessly exposed Qian Qi.
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi fell silent, giving the system a deep look before proceeding with the simulation chamber operations.
The method for measuring spiritual power was simple. The helmet emitted a special wave to stimulate the brain, prompting a mental resistance, which would then be used to judge the level based on the feedback wave value.
The result was apparent, a D-level.
The principal looked somewhat disappointed at the result since he had long assumed Qian Qi’s spiritual power was S-class, a genius with developed brain areas.
"Don’t be disappointed," Qian Qi patted the principal’s shoulder, comforting him, "Although you lost a spiritual power expert, you’ve gained a genius student!"
Principal: ...
Thanks, but not really comforted.
I’m quite clear on which is more impressive!
