Chapter 26: Chapter 26: Standard for Time Travel - Orphan Identity!

Mo Yinqiu was creeped out by Qian Qi’s smile, feeling goosebumps all over. She tapped the table, "Qian Qi, can you get into fewer fights in the future?"

"Of course I can!" Qian Qi snapped back to his senses and quickly promised, "I will fight with no one except Chen Tong!"

Mo Yinqiu: ???

What good is that promise?

"Chen Tong’s family is wealthy, and he’s petty. Provoking him will only bring trouble," Mo Yinqiu said as she leaned back into her office chair, crossing her sexy, rounded leg over the other, and spoke calmly, "Be careful when leaving the school in the future."

"Got it," Qian Qi chuckled, "Then..."

Mo Yinqiu nodded, "You can leave now."

"... I have a few contracts here. The students above have agreed to let me have their remaining applications for magic plants," Qian Qi pulled out "Magic Plant Study" from his lower back and neatly placed a stack of contracts in front of Mo Yinqiu.

Mo Yinqiu: ???

You wouldn’t carry this while fighting, would you?

Mo Yinqiu picked up a contract, feeling her cheek twitch at the contents. Last time, when Qian Qi applied for seeds, she had specially monitored her whereabouts and, upon learning she had indeed planted seeds into the experimental field, had stopped paying attention.

But what’s with these contracts?

"You..." Mo Yinqiu recalled the principal’s words and suddenly understood something, wanting to ask for specifics but not wanting to see Qian Qi’s smug face. Finally, she stood up with twitching lips.

"I’ll go get you the seeds."

"Thank you, mentor! You’re the best!" Qian Qi quickly praised.

Mo Yinqiu secretly rolled her eyes. She really wanted to see what Qian Qi had been up to lately!

With some spare cash in hand, Qian Qi slowed down the production of Hemostatic Medicine and focused on fulfilling contracts by teaching classmates to plant magic plants. _{freew\ebno\vel..(c)om}

Meanwhile, the legend of the Blood Stopping Magic Potion had gone viral on the school forum.

[-- Hey, have you heard? There’s a big shot named Qian Qi in the Magic Plant Department. Her Blood Stopping Magic Potion is amazing!]

[-- What? What potion? Can someone give me the details!]

[-- Haha, to give some context, a student in the Skill Department was seriously bleeding from an arrow poking through his neck during a duel, was about to die, but got saved by a pack of Blood Stopping Magic Potion.]

[-- What? Is this potion really that miraculous?]

[-- Absolutely, it’s incredible! I was right there, it was like a dream come true!]

[-- Impossible! I’m in the Magic Plant Department and Qian Qi is just a low-achiever. How could she possibly create such an amazing potion?]

[-- Hey, it’s no lie. Qian Qi, the big shot herself, personally scratched the principal, who even said it’s effective!]

[-- Whoa!]

[-- Whoa! Fantastic!]

[-- A warrior! Could I ask where this big shot’s dorm is located? I’m going there to buy some!]

[-- Magic Plant Department, Girls’ Dormitory Building C, Room 302. I’m heading there first, sisters!]

The forum topic about "#Qian Qi-Blood Stopping Magic Potion" had already piled up to hundreds of layers high. Sitting on her bed flipping through her Light Brain, Chen Miaomiao’s eyes were filled with jealousy and disgust. She left a message in the topic, frustrated:

[-- Are you guys okay? Qian Qi is known as a waste and scum in our Magic Plant Department!]

Unfortunately, this message was quickly drowned out by new ones, with more and more people flooding into the topic, and no one paid attention to her irrelevant comment.

"Bunch of idiots!" Chen Miaomiao angrily closed the Light Brain, her gaze focusing sharply on Qian Qi’s bed.

These days, she had been avoiding Qian Qi, afraid she would again ask her for money to buy food, so she had no clue what Qian Qi had been up to lately.

But seeing those words on the forum, it seemed Qian Qi had made some incredible Blood Stopping Magic Potion?

Ridiculous. Who in the Magic Plant Department doesn’t know Qian Qi is the bottom of the class? How could she possibly...

Wait!

Chen Miaomiao bit her nails, her face clouding over. She suddenly remembered that Qian Qi had an awful neck wound that night, but later seemed fine as if nothing was wrong. Was it really because of the Blood Stopping Magic Potion?

But how could a waste possibly...

Thinking that such a small pack of the potion could sell for two thousand yuan, Chen Miaomiao’s heart was filled with both painful and envious drops of blood.

So much money, why did it have to end up in Qian Qi’s pocket?

Just how was that so-called magic potion made?

If she could get the method of making the potion... couldn’t she also make a ton of money?

Thinking of this, Chen Miaomiao suddenly got excited.

Getting the potion’s formula wasn’t difficult; she’d just need to sneak to the mentor’s place and check what magic plant seeds Qian Qi had applied for, right?

She didn’t believe Qian Qi could make that potion, while she, Chen Miaomiao, couldn’t!

Thinking this, Chen Miaomiao immediately got off her bed, threw on a coat, and ran towards the office building.

...

The forum topic’s explosion led quite a few people to come looking for Qian Qi to buy the potion.

Unfortunately, Qian Qi’s Blood Stopping Magic Potion had been bought by a student who was generous and quick to act. The next batch of magic plants would mature in a few days, so Qian Qi seized the opportunity and collected a lot of deposits, promising to notify them immediately when the Blood Stopping Magic Potion was ready.

"Aha, now the transfer fees aren’t an issue, and I’ve got living expenses for the next three years~" Qian Qi opened her account and couldn’t help but let out a lovesick laugh seeing a balance of 500,000 yuan.

"Hehehe, Tongzi~ Wouldn’t I be considered a little tycoon now?" Qian Qi said generously, "If you ever want some pocket money, just tell me. I’ll hand it over without a second thought!"

[Hehe, save it up, you won’t think so in five seconds. ＾＿＾]

"Hmm?" Qian Qi had just started wondering when her Light Brain suddenly blinked once.

It was a voice call.

Qian Qi looked at the Light Brain Number above and instantly recognized it as the regular contact found in the original owner’s call logs.

After hesitating for a moment, Qian Qi answered the call, her tone casual, "Hello?"

On the other end, came an extremely gentle, raspy voice of a middle-aged woman, "Qiqi, are your living expenses finished?"

Qian Qi paused.

Could this be the original owner’s mother?

"Nope." Qian Qi tapped the table lightly as she asked tentatively, hearing the quiet call environment on the other end, "Are you at home?"

"Home?" The middle-aged woman’s voice paused slightly, followed by a hoarse throat, Qian Qi could clearly sense the gentle laughter spilling over the receiver, "Yes, home, at home."

Qian Qi responded with an "Oh," her tone casual, "Send me your location, I need it."

"Huh? Alright." The middle-aged woman didn’t ask further, promptly sending Qian Qi a location pin. As Qian Qi opened it, her expression froze.

Bright Orphanage.

Tingling instantly spread from her limbs, Qian Qi’s fingers rubbed over those five words, as a surge of uncontrollable emotions burst from within her, leaving her unsure if these feelings belonged to the original owner, or herself.

In her previous life, she too had been an orphan just like the original owner.

Even the name of the orphanage was Bright Orphanage.

Was it a coincidence? But according to the law of crossing, it’s quite normal for the identities of the traveler and the traversed to be identical, right?

Oh right, and appearances.

Having been here for nearly a week, Qian Qi had not looked in the mirror, and did not know what she looked like.
