Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 561 - 553: I’m Dumb! I’m Dumb!

After talking about the Black Gold Cub, Uncle Sun couldn’t help but ask, "Qiaoqiao, what are your plans next?"

"Going back to school." Qian Qi handed two small stools to the two uncles, "I promised Principal Zheng to give a few lectures, and I’ve fallen behind quite a bit, so I’ll have to catch up later."

"Hmm, but when are you planning to take the students from the school out for some training?" Uncle Li asked.

Going out for training...

Thinking of something, Qian Qi lowered her gaze slightly. After a moment, she nodded, "Hmm, maybe it’s better to take them out during this period."

Uncle Sun and Uncle Li exchanged glances. What period is this? Could it be her free period?

"I’ll discuss it with Principal Zheng later."

"Sure~ Remember to take us two old men along~"

After chatting for a while, Qian Qi sent off the two uncles and turned to look at the Black Gold Cub.

The Black Gold Cub had just finished washing the bed sheets, shaking its body to dry its fur. Sensing Qian Qi’s gaze, it immediately became alert, tilting its body slightly towards the direction of child Yi.

"What are you doing!"

Qian Qi: "You’re really ugly."

Black Gold Cub: ???

Hu Zi angrily ran over, hitting her ankle with its tiger head, "You’re the ugly one! You’re hideous!"

"Thanks for the compliment." Qian Qi was delighted.

The uglier she was, the more powerful her combined skill with Little Poison—a family of six evils—would be!

Seeing her so happy, Hu Zi was at a loss, feeling like its language system was malfunctioning.

Isn’t ugly a derogatory term? Why is she so pleased?

Could it be that when she said it was ugly, she was actually complimenting it?

Just as it was about to ask child Yi, it felt its neck being lifted up.

Hu Zi struggled, "Let go, let me go!"

"Xiao Yi, take it away." Qian Qi lifted Hu Zi to child Yi, "Don’t tell anyone you’ve contracted it, and even if someone finds out, say it’s dimwitted."

Hu Zi bared its teeth and retorted, "I’m not dimwitted!!!"

Qian Qi responded, "If you’re not dimwitted, someone will be jealous of Xiao Yi and kill him, then you’ll die too."

Hu Zi: "I’m dimwitted, I’m dimwitted!!!"

Child Yi couldn’t help but chuckle, then returned Hu Zi to the Beast Taming Space, "Sister Qiqi, don’t worry about me!"

"Good child." Qian Qi patted his head, "Alright, no more busy tasks, go back to sleep."

"Okay~"

Watching child Yi leave, Qian Qi, accompanied by Qian Ba, entered the Vegetable Garden Dungeon.

Little Poison was in the grass, munching on Dragon Tendon, while Bone Mother lay on the half frame of Dragon Meat, with its originally off-white flesh now tinted meat red against the Dragon Meat.

Its tail tip, like it was constipated, worked hard to spit out a giant red bead towards the ground.

Qian Ba’s eyes lit up at the sight and immediately ran over, raising its head and opening its mouth wide, "Ah—"

The red bead was finally expelled, dropping into Qian Ba’s mouth.

Qian Qi: ...

The scene was truly beautiful, not something she, a common person, could appreciate.

She turned around to find Su Ang, and saw the silver-haired youth wearing a soft white sweater in front of the small house, shovel in hand, shoveling Golden Sun Fruits from the ground into burlap sacks.

Even though he was doing farm work, his movements were very pleasing to watch.

Qian Qi couldn’t help but nod, "This is what we ordinary folks should be watching."

She walked toward the youth, sat down on the high chair in front of the small house, swinging her legs, and asked, "Su Ang, I plan to take the students from Awakener University to the instance for training. Are you coming?"

"Hmm, I’ll go with you." Su Ang sealed the bag, walked over to hold her hand, brows slightly bent, "Wherever you go, I go."

"Even if it’s the end of the world and I escape into the instance, you’ll follow me?"

"Hmm, I only care about you."

His little sweet talk was effortlessly charming, causing Qian Qi to raise an eyebrow and mischievously ask, "Even if your dad asks you to save people, you’ll follow me?"

"Hmm." Su Ang nodded, his flawless handsome face full of seriousness, "It’s time I rebelled."

Qian Qi was amused and kissed him.

Watching his fair skin turn visibly red, she turned around to confirm that the Dragon Tendon-munching Little Poison wouldn’t interrupt, then rested her arm on his shoulder and whispered, "Should we go deeper?"

The silver-haired youth shyly nodded, closing his eyes, "Hmm, as deep as you want."

I am yours.

——

The next day, Awakener University.

Inside the principal’s office, Qian Qi stood by the window, looking down at the large trucks outside the building, then patted Principal Zheng’s shoulder beside her.

"Old Zheng..." She wore a serious expression, "How do you run this school? I’ve brought A-level purification materials for the Flame Dogs and also brought the Golden Sun Fruits that can evolve the Flame Dogs into a Fire and Earth Dual System, yet you only got a 30 billion investment?"

"How was I supposed to know you’d bring Dragon Scales as well!"

Principal Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, his hands slightly trembling on the countertop stone, "My dear ancestor, do you know that the school is surrounded by Beast Taming Association spies? If they discover the trucks contain S-Class Dragon Scales, they’ll definitely send people to take them away immediately!"

Of course, they’d be unwilling to leave such precious items for these students!

Qian Qi corrected, "They’re not S-Class Dragon Scales; they’re Epic Level Dragon Scales."

Principal Zheng: Is this really the time to correct such insignificant terms?

Qian Qi: "So they’re even more expensive."

Principal Zheng: ...then I guess it is.

"Previously, you agreed that the students’ Contracted Beasts shouldn’t be too strong, so why did you suddenly change your mind?"

The thing he most didn’t understand now was this question. What had happened to make Qian Qi change her mind and prepare to upgrade all the students’ Flame Dogs to A-level Dual System Contracted Beasts?

"Did I say I changed my mind?" Qian Qi grinned, her smile a bit mischievous, "I just said I brought the items over, didn’t say we’d use them, right??"

If doomsday doesn’t happen in 18 days, she would bring the students back from the instance and the Dragon Scales and Golden Sun Fruits back to the Vegetable Garden Dungeon.

She chuckled, "I just brought them over for you to see."

Principal Zheng: ??? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

This is too much!!!

Leaving the principal’s office, Qian Qi returned to the Magic Plant Department, taught a few classes, and gave the students some knowledge about which parts of Magic Beasts’ Magic Meat were edible and the corresponding preservation magic potions.

Before class ended, she announced the news that they would go out for training with the students from the Beast Taming Department and Command Department.

"Hey! That’s great, we can broaden our horizons again!"

"I was still reminiscing about the last training session! I often dream about returning to that time!"

"But, Senior Sister Qian, will we also end the training early like last time?"

"Yeah, honestly, even though we know our combat power is low, we really want to stay longer to gain more insight."
