Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy
Chapter 203 - 202: What if one day she really becomes the principal?
CHAPTER 203: CHAPTER 202: WHAT IF ONE DAY SHE REALLY BECOMES THE PRINCIPAL?
Seeing that her words had frightened the team, Qian Qi slightly adjusted her position, striking a more commanding pose.
She pinched a Concentration Fruit between her fingers, stuffing its flesh into her mouth, then accurately spat the chewed dry pulp onto a table not far away, casting a malevolent gaze at the team trying to snatch the flag.
The flag-snatching team felt a chill down their spines under her gaze. When they turned to face her, a sense of horror surged from the soles of their feet to their spine and seeped into their brain, as if in a midnight dream, a millennium-old vengeful ghost in a red dress full of sin and grievances was staring at you, maliciously contemplating how to extract your intestines piece by piece...
It’s not that they were timid; it’s just that her appearance was too terrifying. Under the night sky, the eyebrows on her forehead twisted like caterpillars, her eyes black as ink seemed to look at them like a savory dish, and her exaggeratedly cracked lips revealed two rows of sharp and twisted teeth, occasionally releasing eerie chuckles, like the ancient phone bell suddenly ringing in a quiet room at midnight, piercing and horrifying.
She didn’t even have to move. Just sitting there was enough to make their legs tremble with fear, wanting to flee.
Such is the terror of her visage!
They even wondered if Magic Beasts would turn and flee upon seeing her!
"Wha-what are you looking at us like that for?" the captain of the flag-snatching team swallowed hard, mustering the courage to speak.
"Classmate, I see that you have excellent talents and an extraordinary temperament. May I ask what level of Awakeners you are?" Qian Qi squinted her small eyes slightly, contemplating something unknown, and spoke very gently, "Don’t be afraid, I’m not a bad person."
"..." Although they knew you were staff and not a bad person, your smile really resembles that of a crime boss in prison!
"We have D-levels... and C-levels too," the captain assessed Qian Qi warily and fearfully, "What exactly do you want to ask?"
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Qian Qi lifted the captain’s hand and patted it reassuringly, "I wonder if any of you are interested in working with our Magic Plant Department? I’m planning to cultivate some C-level Magic Plants recently, but once they grow, I can’t handle them alone. I really need experts like you!"
"C-level Magic Plants?" The group looked at each other, then suddenly realized something and looked at Qian Qi in surprise, "Are you a teacher from the Magic Plant Department?"
"You could say that." Qian Qi was indeed a lecturer personally hired by the principal, so it’s not wrong to call her a teacher from the Magic Plant Department. She looked at the group with bright eyes, "Would you consider it? I can persuade Qian Qi to sell the Blood Stopping Magic Potions to you at a low price. When you train in the D-level instance, it will provide you with extra life security!"
"You probably don’t know yet..." she said mysteriously, "The Blood Stopping Magic Potions produced by our classmate Qian Qi in our department are even more potent than the official Hemostatic Medicine! They’re on a completely different level!"
"Really?" The captain had heard rumors about the potency of the magic potions, but every time the Magic Plant Department sold potions, they were quickly snapped up. If they could get them at a low price...
"How low-priced?" The captain’s curiosity was piqued by the discount, dispelling his fear, and he couldn’t help but ask.
Qian Qi extended one finger, thought for a moment, then reluctantly extended another finger, "If you can complete the task, I’ll have her sell them to you for 200 bucks a pack!"
200!!!
A pack of Hemostatic Medicine with packaging costs 2000 bucks, and now it’s 200, that’s a 90% discount!
"Are you sure it will count?" The captain asked cautiously, fearing she wouldn’t keep her word.
"Of course, I’m her teacher! Would she dare not listen to what I say?" Seeing the group’s interest, Qian Qi couldn’t help but cozy up to them and persuade, "Classmates, just lend me a helping hand to control the C-level Magic Plants. You can train your skills and get low-priced magic potions. Why not?"
"Captain, I think it’s doable," a team member quickly chimed in, "Isn’t the Magic Plant Department doing some farm resort thing? I heard the tickets are quite pricey. We can experience it free in advance, and it’s C-level Magic Plants, very worthwhile!"
"Exactly, we need high-intensity training, and those are C-level Magic Plants! Experiencing it without entering a C-level dungeon is a rare opportunity!"
"Well... since you’re all willing, alright, we agree," the captain nodded, deciding to take on this task.
"Young man! Well done!" Qian Qi couldn’t help but applaud them on the shoulder, "The Skill Department has strong and kind students like you, and I feel proud for Dean Fan!"
Fan Jinghai: ...Who asked you to feel proud on my behalf!
Could you stop exploiting our Skill Department students? They’re not workers for your Magic Plant Department!
"Look at this, look at this, Mr. Zheng!" Fan Jinghai pointed to Qian Qi on the screen in disdain, "Where does she look like a student! Barging into campus instances, changing exam rules, and now she’s starting to lure students from other departments to work for her. Is the next step to become the principal over our heads?"
"Dean Fan, be careful what you say!!!" The principal hurriedly covered his mouth in fright, "Please, don’t say that in front of her. What if she really becomes the principal over our heads one day?!"
Fan Jinghai: ???
I was just saying, you really believe it?
In the instance, Qian Qi exchanged contact information with the flag-snatching team and couldn’t help wiping her face, praising herself, "How am I so awesome?"
Even though I can’t defeat C-level Magic Plants, I can just hire C-level Awakeners to work for me!
In the future, I can even hire B-level Awakeners, A-level Awakeners, and even S-level Awakeners!
This is the mindset a boss should have!
What future is there in killing Magic Beasts? Join me in farming!
Hahahahahaha——

After having a pleasant conversation with the flag-snatching team, Qian Qi reluctantly gave them two flags. For the remaining flag, they would need to snatch it themselves.
After distributing the flags, Qian Qi looked at the scattered Concentration Fruits and suddenly faced a dilemma.
How am I going to move so many Concentration Fruits out of here?
Who knows if leaving the Concentration Fruits here would lead to them being stolen by Magic Beasts... She would lament even if just a couple were trampled!
Qian Qi furrowed her little brows, pondering, when suddenly she felt a disturbance in the space around her.
Curious, she turned her head and saw a three-meter-tall Black Green-eyed Demon Dog Beast suddenly refresh in front of her, with its massive ears coarse as bark, slightly trembling and making a tinkling sound. Its eyeballs, resembling green seaweed, glowed eerily, as it gazed down at her.
Man and beast stared at each other, a big eye staring at a small eye, and the next second, both Qian Qi and the monster took a step back, one shrieked in fright, and the other turned and ran.
"Oh mom! A ghost!"
"Hiss—ow—woo—"
Qian Qi: ???
What? I’m small and helpless, so running is understandable, but you’re three meters tall, why are you running?
Seeing that even the monster was scared, Qian Qi immediately became unafraid. She’s someone who becomes stronger when faced with a strong opponent, but even when facing a weak one she would pretend to be strong. She sprinted after it, wailing like a ghost while running, "Doggie, doggie, don’t run! Don’t you remember me? I’m your long-lost mom!"
In the dark of night, Qian Qi dashed forward like a plastic bag caught in the wind, or an octopus flailing wildly in the sea, frantically chasing the Green-eyed Demon Dog in front. The Green-eyed Demon Dog, seeing Qian Qi’s sinister ghostly wailing and grotesque smile, almost peed itself in fright.
What’s going on? What’s going on indeed?
It was clearly just sleeping in its nest, why did it suddenly appear in an unfamiliar place, being chased by such a terrifying creature?!
