Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 493 - 485: She’s just a child!

The White Extreme Rats went to learn from a master, making the back mountain much more spacious.

Qian Qi was waiting for the A-level Concentration Fruit to mature. During this time, he began learning sniping from Sheng Qing.

This isn’t something you can master overnight. To shoot accurately at a certain point, it requires a long period of learning and practice. For now, as long as Qian Qi can get the feel of it and avoid missing a large Magic Beast like last time, it would be enough.

Time flew by, and the Beast Taming Department became busier. Everyone was getting busy, and even Su Ang was forced to learn how to tame beasts.

Qian Qi started practicing shooting by himself, taught the new Magic Plant Department students every day, took care of the Concentration Fruit in the back mountain, and researched Magic Potion. She had promised Wei Bisheng to research the preservation potion, which she hadn’t completed yet.

A month later.

Several mobile magic plants of indeterminate level suddenly ran out of the instance, occupying an entire city, enclosing everyone in Cui City.

The Nangong Family had already sent people to clean up, but the hard outer shell of the plant was indestructible. The entangled roots outside were complex like a maze and had offensive capabilities. They couldn’t handle it and thought of Qian Qi.

Thus, Qian Qi was woken up early and forced to attend a video conference with the Seven Great Families.

"These three magic plants are not recorded," Nangong Zhang rarely showed his face and said to Qian Qi, "The Magic Plant Research Institute can’t provide a solution, so we have no choice but to come to you."

Qian Qi, who had been staying up late researching, felt muddled and had poor eyesight. The blurring snowflakes constantly obstructed her vision, making her extremely sensitive to light fluctuations. The images of the three magic plants that played back and forth on the light screen made her eyes ache.

She climbed onto the table and leaned closer to the light screen to see the content clearly.

She indeed hadn’t seen these magic plants before. To confirm what they were and what weaknesses they might have, she had to analyze them on-site.

Or, pay to ask the system.

Qian Qi glanced at Nangong Zhang.

Nangong Zhang didn’t understand the meaning in her eyes and lightly tapped the table, "Is there a problem?"

Qian Qi thought this father was not as perceptive as his son. While thinking this, a weak yet somewhat familiar voice came from Nangong Zhang’s side, "She wants money."

Nangong Zhang: ...

Nangong Zhang was reluctant to spend money. Recently, a lot had already been spent on the Guardian Beast and Blast Gun. All the funds of the Nangong Family had gone into research, and they didn’t want to waste it on this.

"Every time there’s a disaster relief, we, the Seven Great Families, always spend money without saying anything, as it’s about saving lives," he said word by word, gently yet forcefully, "I think Qian Qi wouldn’t be someone who eats blood-soaked buns."

The other family heads all looked at Nangong Zhang in shock: No way, buddy, you really dare to say it!

Could it be because he hadn’t interacted much with Qian Qi and felt bold enough to provoke her this way?

Little did he know, she was the least receptive to this!

Qian Qi blinked at Nangong Zhang and suddenly smiled, "Hehe, your judgment is really..."

The family heads’ hearts rose.

"...inaccurate." Qian Qi said with a forced smile.

The family heads’ hearts fell.

See, they said she wouldn’t buy into it.

Nangong Zhang didn’t expect Qian Qi to be so disrespectful. He had spared her life, yet she was so ungrateful. He frowned and said, "So, are you planning not to help, Qian Qi? Are you deciding to ignore human life?"

Due to lack of sleep, Qian Qi was already irritable. Being repeatedly accused by Nangong Zhang, she snapped, slamming her head onto the meeting table!

Her entire face scrunched up, tears falling as she spoke in a pinched tone: "I really don’t understand why the Nangong Family Head is so aggressive. Cui City is too far from Yan City. I just wanted some gas money, but how did the Nangong Family Head put the blame of eating blood-soaked buns on my head?"

"I’m so wronged! My heart aches, my breath is so labored, Principal, I feel like I can’t make it to Cui City..."

Principal Zheng understood immediately, stood up to support Qian Qi, and angrily looked at Nangong Zhang, "Nangong Family Head! She’s just a child! How can you bully her like this?"

Nangong Zhang: ?

Whose child?

Several snickers could be heard nearby, even from Nangong Zhang’s side, a faint laughter carried through.

"I..." Nangong Zhang, for the first time at a loss for words, twitched unnoticeably at his temple before speaking in a deep voice, "I will provide the gas money!"

Qian Qi wiped her tears and added, "And meal and lodging expenses."

Nangong Zhang: "Fine!"

"I’m not so familiar with people, and from your Nangong Family, I only know Nangong Yan..."

Bloody hell... This was the first time such a mild-mannered Nangong Zhang cursed inwardly, then clutched the sofa armrest tightly, forcefully squeezing a smile through his narrowed eyes, "Alright, I’ll have him come to you."

——

Qian Qi boarded the hovercar, set the destination to Cui City, and only after driving for half a day did she realize she forgot something.

She forgot about Su Ang.

The journey seemed safe, so it should be fine without him, right?

No, no, no, can’t think like that. Heard that thinking like this is just setting a flag, something will definitely happen.

Afraid of death, Qian Qi immediately dialed Su Ang’s computer number.

"On the road," Su Ang’s cool, calm voice came through as soon as the Light Brain connected, giving an overwhelming sense of safety.

Qian Qi chuckled, "Then I can rest assured."

And then she hung up the phone.

Su Ang: ...

Can’t you say a few more words?

With a helpless laugh, Su Ang wiped the bloodstains from his gloves and crushed several assassin bodies into powder, then stepped onto the hovercar, continuing to steer the wheel to accelerate further.
