Chapter 228: Chapter 228: I Am the Magic Beast You Can Never Obtain
When Wei Bisheng received the message from Qian Qi, he was arranging for his trusted Awakeners to enter the Full Moon Street dungeon.
With many informants, he naturally knew the news that Qian Qi, along with Su Ang, had conquered the Full Moon Street dungeon. It was easy to guess that there must be something good within that instance.
He just didn’t expect that before he could approach Qian Qi, Qian Qi reached out to him first.
[Wei Bisheng]: Perfect, I was planning to ask you, how’s the discussion between you and your friend?
Seeing Wei Bisheng not mentioning the hypnotic spray matter, Qian Qi knew he must have discovered the truth about it. She tactfully didn’t bring it up again and tapped her Light Brain to reply.
[I am your uncle]: Ah! President Wei! You don’t know!
[I am your uncle]: My friend recently got married and went on a honeymoon with his wife! That bastard turned off his Light Brain to avoid work, and I haven’t been able to contact him!
[I am your uncle]: This guy who’s prioritizing romance over friendship, probably will be back in a month! When he returns, I’ll persuade him emotionally and logically to join our team! From then on, you and I will laugh at the bustling world and conquer the heavens together!
[Wei Bisheng]: ...
[Wei Bisheng]: Alright.
[I am your uncle]: Speaking of which, regarding the treatment potion for spiritual power disorder, some of the materials are quite scarce, I wonder if President Wei could...
[Wei Bisheng]: Just say what you want.
[I am your uncle]: President Wei, you’re so generous! Not like that stingy Chairman Tang, who even tried to charge me money! Our President Wei would definitely not be so stingy! It’s like this, I’m missing D-level White-tailed Snow Mink’s gastric acid, Ice Crystal Deer Beast’s Ice Crystal Deer Horn, and Double-tailed Enchanting Spirit Fox’s fresh heart within three days. I wonder if President Wei can provide some help?
Wei Bisheng: ...
Why do I feel like you’re mooching?
But the things she mentioned aren’t expensive, a few Awakeners entering a D-level instance can get them. To woo Qian Qi, Wei Bisheng agreed without hesitation.
Soon, Qian Qi received feedings from the Magic Plant Department and the Awakened Association.
...
Time flies, a month later.
During this time, the new mountain ground for the Magic Plant Department and Qian Qi’s exclusive mountain ground were both approved. After several lab explosions, Qian Qi finally researched the D-level Concentration Fruit seeds and planted them in her field.
This day, at dusk.
Qian Qi stood atop her exclusive mountain ground, looking at the bare mountain filled with small flags, she couldn’t help saying boldly, "System! The kingdom I built for you is finally ripe!"
[Stop messing around! Quickly eat your Concentration Fruit!]
Hit on the head by the system panel, Qian Qi pouted in grievance, picked up the hoe beside her and started digging.
Until her hoe hit something hard, Qian Qi bent over, crushed the hard shell, and stuffed the ripe flesh into her mouth.
The slightly sour and sweet taste infused down her throat into her esophagus, making Qian Qi feel much more clear-headed.
[Congratulations Qian Qi, Spiritual Power +10~ Claps~]
The system panel applauded appreciatively.
"The D-level Concentration Fruit successfully planted?!" Excited, Qian Qi lifted the hoe and continued digging up the Concentration Fruit in the field, and before long, there was a pile of D-level Concentration Fruit by the pit.
"How many would I need to eat to reach C-level Spiritual Power?" Qian Qi humbly asked the system.
[328 pieces.]
Qian Qi was shocked: ??? "That many?!"
[Or would you prefer eating E-level ones?]
Qian Qi: ...
In the twilight under the setting sun, a warrior holding a hoe stood solemnly and desperately at the edge of the cliff, faced with a dilemma:
If she stepped forward, she’d be mundane for a week, stepping back and she’d overeat.
She should choose to be mundane for a week, for the sake of her stomach’s safety, but her Ah Tu and Silver are waiting for her. They long for her to come home and yearn for the warm contract life with her...
How could she ignore her own safety and let her family worry for another week!
The brave warrior finally decided to sit by the cliff and binge on D-level Concentration Fruit all night.
Until the next morning’s sun rose.
"Urgh—"
Qian Qi spat out a mouthful of Concentration Fruit pulp, successfully overeating on it.
[Congratulations Qian Qi, your spiritual power has reached C-level! Now you can contract more magic beasts~]
"Let me rest..." Qian Qi knelt on the ground, clearly suffering both mentally and physically. After a while, she couldn’t help but spit out a mouthful of Concentration Fruit juice.
System sneakily announced: [Ah, Qian Qi’s spiritual power -8, successfully dropped to D-level~]
Qian Qi: ???
Isn’t that just mean!!!
After a long rest, Qian Qi finally felt the Concentration Fruit in her stomach digesting. She stuffed another Concentration Fruit in her mouth, and as her spiritual power broke through the limits, her mind became clearer, and her calculations faster.
[Beast Taming Space function unlocked, please accept the "Spiritual Power Training Method", Qian Qi!]
On the system panel, a book named "Spiritual Power Training Method" appeared. Qian Qi poked it with her finger, looked through the table of contents and the first few pages, and then turned angrily to the system.
"The ’Spiritual Power Training Method’ can help absorb Concentration Fruit, why didn’t you tell me last night?!"
Made her stuff herself with 328, oh no, 329 fruits!
System: [No particular reason, just wanted to watch Qian Qi binge on Concentration Fruit ^v^~]
Qian Qi: ???
Do you want me to throw you into a sewer or what!
After successfully advancing her spiritual power to C-level, Qian Qi quickly rushed to the Magic Beast Warehouse and pushed Ah Tu into the little black room.
"Ah Tu! I can contract you now!" Qian Qi cornered Ah Tu against the wall, domineeringly ordering, "Release the Contract Pattern yourself, don’t make me do it!"
Ah Tu: ?
Ah Tu, having been forcefully woken from a sweet dream, was still a bit dazed until it heard the word contract. Its two big eyes suddenly lit up.
Contract?
She can contract now?
Could it be that the D-level Contracted Beast she contracted kicked the bucket this fast? Or has she finally realized Ah Tu’s handsomeness and decided to ditch that D-level Contracted Beast altogether?
Afraid that other Flame Dogs would steal its chance, Ah Tu immediately wagged its tail and released its Contract Pattern.
Just as Qian Qi was about to reach out and connect her spiritual power to the Contract Pattern, her small hand suddenly paused.
"No, no." She remembered something and immediately retracted her hand, her small face very serious, "Ah Tu, I’m sorry, I can’t contract you for the time being."
Ah Tu: ???
Ah Tu cried out impatiently, "Howl," what do you mean, waking it up early in the morning, saying you’d contract it, it even showed the Contract Pattern, but then you don’t contract it?!
Is it fair to play with a dog like this?
"Ah Tu... you must remember, the reason I’m not contracting you now is for our better future!" Not knowing what she intended to do, Qian Qi looked moved as if she was about to cry, "Wait for me a few days, in a few days I’ll contract you!"
[Wow... what you just said really sounds like a scumbag refusing to spend a cent on his girlfriend, yet arguing that he’s saving up to marry her.] The system mused.
However, it figured that Qian Qi had just thought of that aspect.
It originally thought Qian Qi had overlooked that point, so when her finger reached for the Contract Pattern, it planned to stop her at the last second.
But this thrifty little thing, turned out to be quick-witted and immediately caught on!
