CHAPTER 517: CHAPTER 509: HMM... CONSIDER YOURSELF DILIGENT? ^^

The system poked Qian Qi’s Light Brain with the corner of its blue panel, [I’ve sent the formula to you.]

Qian Qi opened the Light Brain perplexedly and then discovered that in the folder where formulas and knowledge points were usually recorded, indeed, there was a new entry titled "Magic Potion Notes for a Painless Childbirth."

Qian Qi: ???

She roared, "You have this feature, so what do the knowledge point notes that I stayed up all night writing painstakingly count for?!"

System: [Um... consider it as diligence on your part? ^^]

Afterwards, the system panel had to endure being "rubbed" on the ground by Qian Qi.

[Stop hitting! Stop hitting!] the system pleaded, [Let’s be serious now, I have a proper gift to introduce to you!]

Finally escaping from Qian Qi’s fists, the system, like a young man tidying a messy suit, brushed off the dust from its body and then spit out something from its inner space.

That item looked like a small scale armor, its fine indented patterns akin to a sea of blue, like a sheet of icy blue snake scales, but it wasn’t a thin slice; it was solid like a turtle shell, the base of the blue scales slightly indented, resembling a layer of soft leather, not as hard as it appeared.

"What is this?"

Qian Qi curiously felt around it, especially at the base where the blue leather was soft and indented. The tactile sensation was addictive, like kneading soft clay slime, and unable to control her strength for a moment, it made a "pop" when her thumb pressed on the soft flesh.

Suddenly, the original four-centimeter thick blue scale expanded into a scale sheet with approximately one inch in length, width, and height. One side was hard as stone, the other as soft as silk, tightly wrapping around Qian Qi’s entire palm. Even when Qian Qi used all her strength, she couldn’t break free.

"This is—"

Qian Qi was exceptionally amazed, "Expandable scales?"

After expansion, the connection between the scales was seamless, with no sign of splicing. Moreover, the fine soft indented patterns gave this scale armor excellent flexibility and bending capability. It could be worn against the skin, adjusting to one’s physique whether gaining or losing twenty pounds.

Just like an automatically adjustable combat suit, a gentle press on the chest would instantly extend the entire suit to wrap around your body, shielding you from external attacks.

[How is it!] the system boasted proudly, [No one can resist combat suits made from Lanshan Python Scales! No one!!!]

Qian Qi couldn’t help but hold the blue scale armor up; under the flicker of sunlight, the scales emitted a silvery blue light, very dazzling and beautiful.

This is simply wonderful!

So full of fantasy!

"Do you have more?" Qian Qi couldn’t help but ask the system, "How many pieces are required to craft a complete combat suit?"

[Just this one piece.] the system replied, seeing Qian Qi show an expression of speechlessness instantly, it quickly added, [But the great system knows where the Lanshan Pythons are! We can gather some ready-made ones!]

[Although Lanshan Pythons are a group of Demon Pythons, appearing in hundreds at once; although they are A+ level Magic Beasts, just their constricting force can strangle ten Qian Qi; although Lanshan Pythons are extremely agile and hard to catch, with ultra-sensitive heat sensing abilities...] the system panel waved a white flag of encouragement, [But I believe baby Qian Qi can definitely do it! ^^]

Qian Qi: ...

If you want me dead, just say it directly, don’t use our beautiful Chinese language to passionately embellish it.

[Of course, you can also call up your new boyfriend~]

"No way." Qian Qi decisively refused.

Surprises should be prepared secretly, where’s the sense in using the recipient’s time, energy, and money to prepare their gift?

Besides, she wanted to get a set for herself too.

Although she already had the combat suit and big red underwear given by Su Ang, which girl would dislike having too many combat suits in her wardrobe!

"Give me the information on Lanshan Pythons."

Qian Qi patted the system panel.

Next, she was going to do something big!

——

After absorbing the information on the Lanshan Python, Qian Qi had a rough idea in her mind.

The crisis in Cui City had been resolved, and she no longer needed to worry about the rest. She also didn’t want to linger, so she bid farewell to Shangguan Qing and the others.

"Leaving right after coming out?" Shangguan Qing looked a bit reluctant, "Old Cang and Old Ye were planning to meet you and have a drink with Sikong Wang and Su Ang tonight."

"There’s something I need to deal with, so I won’t be staying." Qian Qi shook her head, "Aunt Shangguan, please tell Sikong Wang I’m leaving first."

"Alright, do you need help with what you’re dealing with?" Shangguan Qing asked with concern, "If it’s inconvenient for Auntie to be there, you can also take Sikong Wang with you."

Qian Qi couldn’t help but smile, "No worries, I can handle it by myself."

With that, she nodded, "Then Aunt Shangguan, I’ll head off now."

"Okay." Shangguan Qing waved, watching Qian Qi’s disappearing figure, she shook her head slightly and sighed, "This child, you can tell at a glance she’s independent, unwilling to trouble others or owe favors."

Considering her character, largely due to losing her parents early and having no one to depend on, with a bunch of kids to care for at the orphanage that adopted her, Shangguan Qing felt uncontrollable heartache. Moreover, during the Cui City crisis, the Seven Great Families unexpectedly put all their hopes on a child. Furthermore, that kid from the Nangong Family told her that Nangong Zhang didn’t even want to give Qiqi any hard-earned compensation, which made her even more furious.

She activated the Light Brain to contact her husband Sikong Lin, "Invest more money into the Bright Orphanage where Qiqi is, what’s the use of hoarding so much money in accounts, can’t you do something practical? And how come you family heads let a child solve the problem solo without any reward? Can the world no longer function without Su Ang and Qian Qi?! If so, you might as well abdicate and let the kids take over!"

Sikong Lin, receiving a scolding from out of the blue: ?

What did he do now! He wasn’t even there at that time!

Besides, he felt helpless too, as the situation indeed only Qian Qi could resolve at the time. Who made her so defiant, knowing everything!

"I don’t care, this crisis in Cui City and even the entire Central State could almost be said to be due entirely to Qiqi and Little Su, you must pressurize the other family heads into having the proper attitude!"

Shangguan Qing said coldly, "Nowadays, the Sikong family has two S-Class Spiritual Awakeners, the strength is no longer as before, they ought to recalibrate the Seven Great Families’ rankings!"

Previously, she had to retire from the Sikong family’s combat force due to mental disorder, and Sikong Wang’s true awakened ability was concealed, forcing the Sikong family to remain low-key. But things were different now, her condition had stabilized, and Sikong Wang had revealed himself in the battle with the S-Class Fire Stream Dragon, his identity as an S-Class Awakener was bound to draw worldwide attention.

The second position in the hierarchy of the Seven Great Families ought to be relinquished!
