Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Money 7 Production, Absolutely No Ruthless Tech Work!

The principal, who had just calmed down, realized he was used by Qian Qi and was so angry that he couldn’t speak, pointing at her with frustration.

What did he do in his past life to deserve such a cunning student! _{freew\ebno\vel..(c)om}

The students watching saw how effective the Blood Stopping Magic Potion was and couldn’t help but feel like buying it.

"Classmate, did you really develop this potion yourself?"

A curious student asked, knowing that stopping bleeding instantly without leaving a scar is impossible in modern medicine.

"How could I lie to you? This is our Magic Plant Academy’s specialty!" Qian Qi said proudly, "It’s made using the most expensive machines and the most advanced manual techniques—absolutely no tech tricks involved!"

The grinder alone cost her tens of thousands, and the method is purely handmade. Qian Qi wasn’t lying!

"Dear, Qian Qi’s products are absolutely honest~" Qian Qi patted the medicine box with deep meaning, "These days are quite unstable, better get some insurance!"

"What’s so unstable? Our school’s security measures are strong, even if an A-level Magic Beast came, we’d be safe!" Many students thought Qian Qi was just being alarmist and didn’t take it to heart.

Rather than this, they were more curious: "Aren’t Magic Plants supposed to be useless to humans? Why do you say this potion was developed from Magic Plants?"

"Obviously, because I’m a genius!" Qian Qi patted her chest and said proudly, "I’m a miracle!"

[... Shameless.]

Qian Qi: Forced by the situation, you know, I’m a modest and low-key person~

"Classmate, it’s not just for arm bleeding, it can also stop bleeding and repair severed limbs and ruptured arteries~" The effect of the Blood Stopping Magic Potion was clearly written on the formula, and with her Golden Finger enhancing the Magic Plant’s efficacy, "Selling for 1998, it’s really cheap!"

"This..." Interested students looked at each other, unable to make up their minds for a moment.

After all, as students, their chances of getting injured were small, and even if there were injuries during combat training, they were minor. It was better to go to the school hospital or find a student with Healing Skills than to use such an expensive blood-stopping medicine.

Besides...

Although Qian Qi praised the Magic Potion highly, the notion that Magic Plants are useless to humans was deeply ingrained. Even if a miracle blood-stopping potion for arms existed, it couldn’t possibly cure severe injuries like severed limbs or ruptured arteries.

This is the limitation of Magic Plants’ usefulness to humans.

So, in their hearts, Qian Qi was still labeled as "false advertising."

In the end, except for a few wealthy students who didn’t want scars, everyone else shook their heads and dispersed like birds.

Qian Qi wasn’t discouraged. She felt that having such results on the first day was already good. She knew very well that when something new is introduced, people will inevitably watch from the sidelines, afraid to buy it at first.

Just as she was about to pack up, she suddenly noticed something and put on a surprised expression, "Oh! Principal, you’re still here!"

Principal: ...

The principal looked down at the hem of his jacket, which had not been let go even though Qian Qi was busy selling potions: He wanted to leave, but she was holding him so tightly he couldn’t go!

Qian Qi quickly put on a flattering smile, "Hehe, Principal, about our medical fees..."

The principal smiled helplessly, "You made me wait so long, I was about to walk away without paying."

"Oh! Look at what you’re saying!" Qian Qi waved nonchalantly, righteously saying, "If you dare not pay, there will be a ten-meter red banner at the school gate tomorrow, letting the world know you owe a student money."

Principal: ...

How can she say such terrifying things with such a serious face?

"The blood-stopping medicine is a thousand, right?" the principal said through gritted teeth.

Qian Qi rubbed her little hands, chuckling, "Two thousand works too."

"..." The principal’s mouth twitched as he transferred a thousand yuan to Qian Qi, "This potion of yours is quite good. Did you really research it yourself?"

Although he was angry at Qian Qi’s rudeness and public coercion, the principal immediately thought of how most of the front-line Awakeners and warriors die due to untreated blood loss. If they had this blood-stopping medicine...

Perhaps it could save many lives that shouldn’t be lost.

After receiving the money, Qian Qi packed up her little rickety stall, her face as impenetrable as a wall, with a false smile, "Principal, what nonsense are you talking about? Go and ask in the Magic Plant Department; I’m just a bottom-ranking student. How could I research something so impressive?"

She grinned, "Those were just made-up words to liven up the atmosphere, all that talk about burning the midnight oil, being a genius and a miracle—it’s just to fool you, don’t take it seriously!"

"Well, Principal, you stay busy, I’m leaving~"

With that, Qian Qi picked up her cardboard box and stool and slipped away like a greased little mouse.

Leaving the principal standing there for a moment, he came to his senses and wished he could take off his shoe and throw it at her. "That rascal—never changes!"

Su Ang, who had been quietly watching the whole time, gazed at Qian Qi’s retreating figure, his dark eyes slightly lowering, deep in thought.

What she said about things being unstable lately—was that just a casual remark, or... does she know something?

Next to him, remembering that he had just spoken out of anger, the principal coughed twice and explained to Su Ang, "Cough, I wasn’t really planning not to pay earlier. It’s just that rascal is quite slippery. He’s always up to mischief, and I thought I’d take this chance to scare him."

Su Ang nodded; he could see that this classmate Qian Qi was quite lively and mischievous, with a quick tongue, even the highly respected principal couldn’t handle her.

"But, why did you just step in to help her test the potion?" the principal asked, curious, "I could have made her demonstrate it publicly myself."

Su Ang slightly lowered his eyes, silver strands of hair inadvertently brushing his lashes, "No special reason, just wanted to try the effects myself."

His intuition was always accurate, and only by personally experiencing the effects could he know if it was suitable for the front-line warriors.

Plus...

He really didn’t think the principal could out-talk Qian Qi’s mischievous mouth. If they continued to confront each other, he had no doubt Qian Qi would make the principal spend more money.

The principal, unaware he was being underestimated, nodded innocently, "Alright, you must have your reasons; I won’t ask more, let’s go, we have to attend a meeting shortly."

Su Ang nodded, followed the principal, and continued walking towards the principal’s office. However, a few minutes later, he remembered something and suddenly spoke.

"By the way... isn’t that classmate Qian Qi a girl? Why did you call her a rascal?"

Principal: ...

Principal: ???
