Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy
Chapter 519 - 511: Surnamed Qian, Named 7, You’re Doing a Reversed Heavenly Gang!
CHAPTER 519: CHAPTER 511: SURNAMED QIAN, NAMED 7, YOU’RE DOING A REVERSED HEAVENLY GANG!
Qian Qi’s magic beasts all ran back to the orphanage.
The kids at the orphanage were already used to it, continuing their classes and airing their quilts, sweeping up the fur the Moon Silver Demon Wolves shed as they passed by.
In the Vegetable Garden Dungeon, Qian Qi was sharpening her knife, aiming at the Demon Dragon, and after chopping the dragon’s head off, she pointed to the exposed flesh and told the magic beasts, "Only allowed to eat the meat, leave the innards for me."
The magic beasts charged noisily, chomping down heartily. [The dragon meat of this Fire Stream Dragon was very chewy, each of them tore at it with all their might, making their beastly faces twisted and ghastly, just like Qian Qi’s frightening faces when she makes grimaces.]
Qian Qi: ... "System, if you have so much free time, why don’t you download all the magic plant information into my Light Brain?"
The system, who was busy cosplaying a narrator, was startled.
[What are you talking about?] It tried to play dumb.
Qian Qi casually peeled dragon scales, saying coolly, "Wasn’t the Decoding Technique your made-up lie? What Golden Finger, you’re just using the information from your knowledge base to fool me."
System: !!! "How, how did you find out?!"
It clearly thought it was being so discreet!
"Big brother, when I used the Decoding Technique, the decoded information showed up on your system panel!" Qian Qi was somewhat speechless, "So clearly you already knew and then displayed it to me on purpose! Moreover, you always claim to be an omnipotent and omniscient system, so of course you should know all the magic plants’ decodings!"
System: ...
Wow, that makes a lot of sense?
It was all its fault, thinking Qian Qi was easy to trick, it just randomly found an excuse of a Golden Finger and offered her such newbie benefits.
"So, only Divine Hand is my Golden Finger." Qian Qi asserted, because she could clearly feel the energy transferring from her hand into the magic plant seeds.
[Fine, guess you’re smart.] The system said while retreating.
"Don’t run away." Qian Qi grabbed it with her bloody hands, leaving frightful bloody handprints on its panel, she grinned sinisterly, "Price is negotiable! Look, we’ve known each other for quite a while, how about this, just for a hundred thousand bucks, I’ll let you sell it to me!"
System: ???
Qian Qi, this is Reversed Heavenly Gang!
The system struggled desperately, [Let me go! I’m telling you! Without two trillion, I won’t sell it to you!]
Qian Qi couldn’t understand why it was being so stingy, sharing the knowledge early is also for saving the world, isn’t it?
But knowing that making money through sales was a principle of the system, Qian Qi didn’t give it a hard time, seeing the magic beasts still gnawing on the dragon meat, she stood up, heading out of the instance.
[Where to?] The system quickly followed, busily wiping the blood off itself onto the passing tree trunks and blades of grass.
"Gonna take some time to beg."
System: [...] Clearly going to extort.
——
Gong Family.
The head of Gong Family sat opposite Qian Qi, seeing her face full of red blood, his hand slightly trembling as he held his teacup.
It wasn’t that he was timid, but that the blood on Qian Qi’s face seemed to have a burning effect, scalding her already hard-to-describe face until it was gruesome and fleshless, looking really terrifying.
"Classmate Qian Qi, your face..." The head of Gong Family hesitated.
Qian Qi pulled out a twisted smile on her face, "I’m fine, just got disfigured when fighting the Fire Stream Dragon and got splashed with dragon blood."
The head of Gong Family looked at the five clear and hideous claw marks on her face: ...
Are you sure you didn’t smear it on yourself?
"So, you came to see me..." The head of Gong Family probed.
"I helped your family slay a Fire Stream Demon Dragon that surpassed S-Class strength and also conquered an S-Class dungeon." Qian Qi lightly caressed her face, seemingly about to cry, "For this, I even lost my only pride-worthy beauty! I demand your family compensate me for my emotional distress!"
The head of Gong Family: ...
Got it, here to ask for hardship payment.
A few minutes later, Qian Qi’s account had an additional 50 billion yuan.
Gong Family was indeed generous, the head of Gong Family deeply understood that if Qian Qi hadn’t killed the Fire Stream Dragon, if Qian Qi hadn’t conquered that S-level dungeon, not only would they lose several billion or even tens of billions of currency, but they might also lose a Double S-level Awakener.
This money was worth spending.
Otherwise, they’d definitely be written up by Qian Qi on the forums, denouncing the Seven Great Families for their stinginess, causing public outrage.
The reputation of the Seven Great Families could not afford to fall any further.
Leaving Gong Family, Qian Qi visited the Seven Great Families one by one, upon arriving at Ye Family, Ye Shi Yao frowned slightly at Qian Qi but still greeted her with a smile.
After hearing her request, Ye Shi Yao slightly raised an eyebrow, "Killed the Fire Stream Dragon? But as far as I know, there’s no Fire Stream Dragon carcass in that S-class dungeon."
The Seven Great Families had been searching for the Fire Stream Dragon carcass, but to no avail, of course, they suspected Qian Qi.
Some families wouldn’t pursue the matter due to the Su Family’s stance, but that didn’t mean other families wouldn’t.
A Fire Stream Dragon surpassing S-class strength, its entire body was a treasure, who knows how many S-class Combat Armors could be made from it, how could they easily let it go?
Under Ye Shi Yao’s flickering gaze, Qian Qi "Oh"-ed, "Then you all are pretty weak, can I laugh at you a bit?"
Ye Shi Yao: ...
"Young girl." Ye Shi Yao patiently said, "What use do you have for keeping the Fire Stream Dragon carcass? Why not take it out to benefit more people? I believe you’re not a kid who keeps things to yourself, you’re a commendable young person willing to contribute and set an example for society."
Qian Qi nodded earnestly, "You’re right, I’m not a kid who keeps things to myself, so I didn’t keep anything. And I have already made a contribution and set an example for society."
She said emotionally, "You really understand me, Mr. Ye. The rest didn’t praise me like that, they just threw money at my face, telling me to take the money and scram."
Ye Shi Yao: ...
What? Are you mad?
Seeing Qian Qi so slippery, Ye Shi Yao couldn’t help but pinch his brow, forced himself to hold back his annoyance, and then revealed a smile, "I was too impatient."
He waved his hand, signaling the secretary to transfer money to Qian Qi.
"If you change your mind, feel free to contact me." Ye Shi Yao pushed his Light Brain over, "I can pay a high price for the Dragon Scale Skin."
Qian Qi nodded, "Don’t worry, if I’m lucky enough to find the Fire Stream Dragon carcass, if there’s any Dragon Scale and Skin left, I’ll sell it to Ye Family."
Ye Family excelled at sneaky moves, proficiently developing discreetly, she wasn’t worried about Ye Family tattling to other families that she sold the Dragon Skin.
Ye Family would love to have bought the entire dragon themselves.
Leaving Ye Family, Qian Qi proceeded to Nangong Family, greeted by Nangong Zhang, but seeing him from afar, she lowered her head and muttered to herself, moments later, she "softly" mumbled, "Forget it, Nangong Family is probably quite poor, couldn’t even bear to cover the gas back then."
Nangong Zhang: "..."
Qian Qi precisely grasped the weak spot of the Seven Great Families, Nangong Family could not bear others being sarcastic, Nangong Zhang gestured for the secretary to transfer money to Qian Qi, then looked at her with a smile, "Miss Qian Qi, any interest in joining Nangong Family?"
"Marry into Nangong Family?" Qian Qi accidentally misunderstood, she curiously asked, "But I already have a boyfriend. Does your Nangong Family mind this? Would your son be willing to become a concubine? Do you need a dowry?"
Nangong Zhang: ???
