CHAPTER 521: CHAPTER 513: SMUGGLING PRIVATE GOODS

Qian Qi squinted and then showed a sincere smile, "Old Wang, you’re here."

"What Old Wang? It’s Emperor Python King!" Emperor Python King corrected, but found that Qian Qi seemed not to hear, she stared at Emperor Python King for a while, until Emperor Python King showed a puzzled expression. Only then did she belatedly point to her ear and explained, "Old Wang, my ears have temporary blindness."

Emperor Python King didn’t notice the oddity in the words for a while, subconsciously heard it as deafness, "You’re deaf?"

Remembering she was deaf, the tail quickly typed on the Light Brain: [You’re deaf?]

Qian Qi nodded, "Don’t know where Little Poison went, I have a mission to complete, you all come with me."

More magic beasts, just to be safe.

Emperor Python King immediately refused, "No!"

"Can?" Qian Qi assumed the look of trying to understand Emperor Python King’s lip reading.

[No! Ca! N!] Emperor Python King typed furiously.

"It’s not that I want to trouble you." Qian Qi sighed, "It’s indeed too dangerous there, I can’t do it alone."

[If you can’t do it alone, don’t go! Why go to such a dangerous place for nothing!]

"You old man, just come with me, it’ll be fine no matter what. Don’t mind my deafness, just come with me, and I’ll buy you the latest game console, and the fastest internet connection in the future."

[I don’t trust, who knows how dangerous the place you’re going to, this king still wants to live a few more years!]

"Old Wang, Old Wang! If you don’t go, I can only go alone. Aren’t you afraid I’ll die in there, and your son will be without a contractor? Aren’t you afraid I’ll die in there, and no one will train you to S-Class?"

Qian Qi cried out, "Can you bear to see deaf me, being stomped to death by a magic beast in the dungeon? I’m your son’s contractor! The first contractor of your son! Excellent contractors aren’t scary, but the dead first contractor will become a magic beast’s white moonlight, etched deeply in their hearts, recalling it at midnight will make them cry in heartache—!"

Emperor Python King: ???

Emperor Python King looked with confusion towards the awakened warriors nearby, suspiciously asked, "Is the death of the first contractor so deeply impactful for contracted beasts?"

The awakened warriors nearby, struggling to stabilize trembling shoulders, covering their mouths while nodding continuously, muffledly said, "Mmhm."

Okay then.

Emperor Python King coiled on the small stool, looking up at Qian Qi, actually not wanting her to die either, after all she’s the woman who will make them S-Class.

Moreover, she’s deaf... even with great strength, being unable to hear indeed causes inconvenience.

[Then let’s go.] It poked the keyboard, then bellowed loudly outside the camp area. Shortly after, the remaining Poisonous Emperor Pythons crawled over.

"Accompany her on the hunt." Emperor Python King said briefly, then slid up Qian Qi’s arm, wrapping around her hair as its body shrunk gradually with a spell.

The other Poisonous Emperor Pythons also cast spells to shrink their size, climbing onto Qian Qi’s hair.

"Then I’ll head off first." Qian Qi bid farewell to the awakened warriors, left the dungeon, and returned to her hovercar.

After returning to the orphanage, Qian Qi allocated the gathered 200 billion to the system, instructing it to transfer all the magic plant data into her Light Brain.

In the Vegetable Garden Dungeon, the magic beasts were already burping after eating. The Fire Stream Dragon’s dragon meat wasn’t easy to digest, they all sat clutching their stomachs, slowly absorbing the energy, feeling the enhancement in strength.

Emperor Python King smelled the scent, glanced over, and immediately exclaimed, "Epic Middle Level Demon Dragon? You took it down?"

"Epic Middle Level?" Qian Qi instinctively asked upon hearing, "Is that a level after S-Class?"

"Yes, evolution levels above an S-Class magic beast include Epic, Sealed Title, Legendary, with the highest being Mythical. If it’s during the juvenile stage of high-level evolution magic beasts, the power level is called Newborn Stage, after maturity, the power level is divided into Initial Stage, Middle Level, and High Order..."

"This Fire Stream Dragon, based on appearance, is at least of the Epic Middle Level magic dragon!"

After Emperor Python King finished speaking, suddenly reacted, "Aren’t you deaf?"

Qian Qi calmly explained, "Intermittent deafness, sometimes I can hear, sometimes my hearing suddenly disappears."

"Is that so..." Emperor Python King looked at her with doubt, "You humans, really are fragile."

Qian Qi rubbed her nose, "So, what’s the difference between Epic, Sealed Title, Legendary, and Mythical levels?"

"The number of magic beast skills usable varies." Emperor Python King explained, "S-Class magic beasts can use 6 magic beast skills, Epic can use 8, Sealed Title 10, Legendary 16, Mythical can use 20 magic beast skills, and this king also heard, Mythical magic beasts can even withstand space storms, traveling to other planets."

Traveling to other planets?

Qian Qi’s heart raced, if she could contract a Mythical magic beast, could she return to her own planet?

She couldn’t help but turn towards the system, asking the question weighing on her mind.

[Of course, but contracting Mythical magic beasts isn’t that easy, not to mention they’re mostly on other planets, just judging by your current strength...] The system swayed its board, [A speck of sand in a desert cannot catch their eye, even their body might not fit entirely on a single planet.]

"What if I train one myself? What’s the likelihood?" Qian Qi asked with anticipation.

[Uh...] The system lowered its head to calculate, [Based on your potential future strength, potential longevity extension, increasing frugality, advanced instances’ drop rate... Comprehensive calculation shows it’s better to directly contract one.]

It encouraged, [No worries, no worries! Just strive to live until 31,314,250 years old, and you’ll have the chance to contract a Mythical magic beast!]

Qian Qi: ...

Don’t think I didn’t notice the hidden message, sarcastically implying "calculate it, you’re an idiot."

Emperor Python King poked Qian Qi’s forehead, drooling, "I say, contractor of our son, can we eat that Fire Stream Dragon meat?"

This is premium nourishment! Eating a lot, although it won’t evolve them, might give them combat power comparable to S-Class!

"Eat, eat more, just leave the dragon skin, dragon bone, and internal organs for me." Qian Qi waved her hand, being well-fed helps them work better.

With permission granted, the Poisonous Emperor Pythons proceeded with excitement towards the Fire Stream Dragon, unleashing their massive snake bodies, and took big bites from the dragon meat, the demon dragon’s blood spilled out, dyeing the pythons with a layer of savage red.

The saying ’a snake can swallow an elephant’ isn’t false; their appetite is indeed far greater than those petite magic beasts. Sharp fangs tear off a huge chunk of dragon meat, lifting their heads to swallow it, continuing to tear the dragon meat like prisoners starved for a millennium, the eating scene exceedingly fierce and violent.

And Qian Qi also crawled into the dragon’s frame, dragging out the internal organs. Following the Flame Dog’s evolution ingredient chart, she began manually tearing meat for weighing, her fierce expression and the brutal devouring by the giant pythons behind her were a matching pair, akin to the Hell Demon King and its Evil Python Demon Pet emerging together, the scene epitomizing violent aesthetics.
