CHAPTER 205: CHAPTER 204: NO, I AM A BEAST TAMER

The deans of the three departments suddenly started competing for people, and the principal, thinking the commotion wasn’t big enough, called Li Hongsheng and Hua Zhenlong, the dean of the Magic Beast Department, to join as well.

Li Hongsheng saw that Fan Jinghai and the other two were trying to poach people, immediately put his hands on his hips, and started a heated debate, calling them shameless. Meanwhile, Hua Zhenlong and the principal sat together, eating melon seeds, until Hua Zhenlong finally said something that stopped everyone from arguing.

"Yelling here is useless. If they wanted to go, they would have gone a long time ago."

Hua Zhenlong said with a smile, "You guys probably don’t know this, but Little Qian herself volunteered to join the Magic Beast Department. Why does she insist on coming to our Magic Beast Department instead of your Command Department, Beast Taming Department, or Skill Department?"

Fan Jinghai, Lu Jian’an, Xi Mingde: ...

What the hell, this old guy is so provoking!

The Five Major Colleges stared at each other belligerently, while in the instance, Qian Qi was riding on the Green-eyed Demon Dog and rushed to the entrance. There, he asked the supervising teacher at the entrance to contact the principal to help pull out the Concentration Fruit.

Then, he started searching the entire instance for Sheng Qing and his group.

When he finally found Sheng Qing and the others, they were surrounded and attacked by three teams.

The sudden descent of the Green-eyed Demon Dog also startled all four teams, and just as they prepared to attack the demon dog, they heard a heart-wrenching voice from the dog’s back, "Hero, hold your fire—"

Qian Qi’s little head poked out from the demon dog’s body, and Han Li immediately shouted with surprise, "Qi Qian!"

"Finally found you guys." Qian Qi rolled off the demon dog’s body, patted his backside, and said painfully, "My butt cheeks are splitting!"

"Qi Qian, where did you go!" Han Li was tearfully happy, "I thought you abandoned us!"

"How could I? I just had some things to do. How did you guys get surrounded all of a sudden?"

"Qi Qian, you didn’t know, did you? A lot of flag points have had their flags disappear, so we decided to check the distant flag points. We barely managed to get three flags, and these teams want to snatch them."

Each team can only snatch one. If all three teams come at us, all our efforts would be in vain!

"I see, leave this matter to me!"

Qian Qi patted his chest and then swaggered towards one of the teams, drawing them a little offside, "Hey brother, take my advice, why fight over flags? Instead, how about this..."

She turned and looked at the other two teams, then sneakily opened her jacket and pulled a small flag from her inner pocket, speaking in a low voice, "I happen to have an extra flag, so I’ll give this to you directly. Don’t team up with the other two teams against us, alright?"

Seeing the team was tempted, Qian Qi coaxed them further, "Why am I giving this flag to you and not them? Because we’re friends! As the saying goes, rely on parents at home, rely on friends when out; take this flag, and we’ll be buds! After the exam, how about I invite you for some C-level Magic Plant hunting at a farm?"

"C-level?!" Surprised that Qian Qi would offer a flag and invite them to hunt such a high-level magic plant at a farm, the students in the team beamed with joy, "Sure! We’ll be friends then! Let’s add each other as friends!"

With the flag in hand, the team said goodbye to Qian Qi on very good terms, leaving the two other teams puzzled and bewildered, clearly not understanding why their ally suddenly left.

Now that they’re gone, it’ll be harder for them to deal with Sheng Qing and Xu Jinghong!

After sending off one team, Qian Qi turned to the second team, using the same ploy, "Hey mates, I had two flags, I just gave one to the other team, so without hesitation, I’ve decided to give this one to you."

"Why? Because you look kind; I’m sure you won’t gang up with others to bully the few. So, here’s this flag; I’ll treat you to some C-level Magic Plants hunting after the exam. How does that sound?"

Upon hearing this, the second team instantly agreed with smiles from ear to ear, saved Qian Qi’s Light Brain, and left satisfied like the first team.

After persuading two teams, Qian Qi turned to look at the third team.

Just as the system thought Qian Qi was going to repeat the same tactic, Qian Qi pointed at the third team and shouted, "Captain, only they’re left now, let’s take them down!"

Daring to snatch our flag? Clueless! Hand over that flag!

Third team: ???

Third team: !!!

Damn! We’ve been tricked! How did this guy manage to chase off the other two teams?!

Han Li’s team already had Sheng Qing, with immeasurable strength, and a D-level Xu Jinghong, and now they had an extra beast master. The third team didn’t think twice, immediately bolting for safety.

"Tsk..." Qian Qi put her hands on her hips in disdain, "How unscareable are they? I was actually considering offering them a flag with a farming package if they were a bit braver."

System: ...[Were you really offering a farm package? You’re just trying to extract free labor, aren’t you?]

Qian Qi: "Hehe~(＾＿－)"

"Did they just leave like that?" Han Li asked in amazement, unable to grasp exactly what Qian Qi had done to scare off all three teams without a fight.

"Maybe they suddenly had to pee." Qian Qi shrugged, "You guys managed to gather all three flags? What do you plan to do next?"

"Probably go magic beast hunting; if we’re lucky, we might encounter the instance boss and snag the highest score for the whole thing."

Thinking of that instance boss he had intercepted halfway, Qian Qi nodded silently, "I just went to the instance entrance and saw students could come and go freely, so the previous boss should be dead. We’ll have to wait for a new boss to respawn."

"I see..." Han Li nodded, "Then let’s go hunt some magic beasts first."

"Alright, hop on," Qian Qi said, pulling herself up by the demon dog’s fur, "it’ll be faster this way."

"Ah..." Han Li looked up at the three-meter-tall Green-eyed Demon Dog and gulped, "Qian...Qi Qian, you’re a beast master?"

Qian Qi pondered for two seconds, "Nope, I’m a beast tamer."

Han Li, Zhang Yun, Xu Jinghong: ...

Hey hey hey, isn’t a beast tamer even scarier! Can we really ride this uncontracted magic beast? It won’t bite us?

The three men quietly stared at the Green-eyed Demon Dog, debating whether to get on, but Sheng Qing simply took Qian Qi’s hand and jumped onto the demon dog’s back. Her slender, fair hand stroked the demon dog’s soft fur, and she couldn’t help but playfully mess up its black fur, causing its hair to go wild.

Qian Qi sensed something, glanced back, and Sheng Qing’s eyes instantly returned to their indifferent demeanor, pretending nothing had happened as she quickly smoothed the ruffled fur with her gentle hand.

Qian Qi: ...Was that just my imagination?
