Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Find an Angel to Love You for Me

Qian Qi rubbed her reddened forehead from the bump, got up, and looked at the unfamiliar plains and forests around her, her eyes wide and round.

"Wow!"

She couldn’t help but exclaim, "Isn’t this the legendary—space?!"

Qian Qi, could she actually possess such a perfect golden finger like space?!!!

[Dear, I’ve told you ten thousand times, stop daydreaming ~＾＿＾]

Qian Qi: ???

"Then what is this?" Standing on the boundless plain, the wild wind brushed against Qian Qi’s cheeks, wildly blowing her disheveled hair.

There was no sun in the sky, yet it emitted dazzling and warm sunlight, with a breeze passing by her nose, bringing a faint yet strange sweet scent of grass.

An ominous premonition arose in her heart.

Could this be... "Demon Monster Dungeon?!!"

[Congratulations, you guessed it right ~＾ｖ＾]

Qian Qi: !!!

Qian Qi’s mouth dropped open, and suddenly she felt terrible, "Tongzi! Don’t lie to me! I’m just a weak girl with no fighting skills, entering a dungeon unprepared, I’ll die miserably!"

The system panel flickered and played dead.

This left Qian Qi dumbfounded, standing alone on the plain, feeling the cold wind mercilessly blowing past her. She couldn’t help but hug her frail body.

After a while, she began to wipe her tears.

"To think that at nineteen, I, a youthful girl, haven’t yet become a millionaire, haven’t flirted with handsome boys, haven’t even pampered eight young male models, and will die silently in a demon monster dungeon..."

[...]

[It’s just an E-level dungeon, why are you so scared?]

Qian Qi turned her back to the system and replied in a faint voice, "I am only a tool not favored by the System Lord. I understand, I’ll try my best to survive, and not embarrass the System Lord..."

[...]

"If I die, System Lord, please don’t be sad. A weakling like me doesn’t deserve to make you sad..."

[...]

"It’s a shame I can’t find an angel to love You before I die..."

[...Shut up.] The system had enough, [I can guide you to a bright path.]

Qian Qi turned back around, instantly breaking into a bright smile, "I knew the System Lord has a broad mind..."

[Ten thousand yuan.]

Qian Qi’s bright face instantly turned angry, "Ten thousand yuan? Greedy and unscrupulous merchant, do you think I’m worth ten thousand yuan?!!"

[...Will you give it or not?]

"I’ll give, I’ll give." Qian Qi’s arrogance went out like a puff, she knew her limits well and didn’t want to do anything reckless.

"How about cheaper, five thousand, is that okay?" Qian Qi tried to bargain.

[Sure~]

Qian Qi was immediately overjoyed, just as she was wondering why the system was being so accommodating this time, she saw the blue panel in front of her slowly displaying a message:

[For five thousand yuan, you can keep half your life~＾ｖ＾]

Qian Qi: ...

Qian Qi begrudgingly transferred ten thousand yuan to the system.

Immediately, the blue panel "whoosh" flew towards the edge of the plain towards the forest.

Seeing this, Qian Qi hurriedly jogged after it, examining this E-level dungeon as she ran.

It wasn’t as terrifying as Qian Qi imagined. The endless grasslands were bathed in the warm glow of sunlight, with a faint halo of light. Every time the wind blew, the smooth golden-green grass waved like rolling waves, mesmerizingly beautiful and captivating.

And deeper into the plains was a Black Forest filled with peculiar trees. Despite the glaring sunlight, it seemed to refract away upon hitting the Black Forest, making it incredibly dark inside. Misty white humidity crept through, mysterious enough to make one yearn but hesitate to proceed.

After running for nearly 10 minutes, Qian Qi panted heavily at the entrance of the Black Forest, faintly hearing the various roaring sounds of magical beasts inside.

She swallowed a mouthful of saliva silently.

She couldn’t enter directly.

Qian Qi was unwilling to enter a dangerous place unprepared, especially knowing there were magical beasts inside. Her gaze quickly scanned her surroundings, finally fixing on one magic plant.

Thorny Cloud Sunflower.

It had cloud-like white and gentle colors, but it was like a tall conical nail, with an extremely sharp top that could pierce through the tough skin of E-level magical beasts that passed by.

However, due to its limited lethality and being far less sharp than other E-level magical beasts’ claws, weapons made from Thorny Cloud Sunflower weren’t popular, and their price was very low.

Qian Qi touched her pocket, taking out a small knife for self-defense.

She dug into the soil around the base of the Thorny Cloud Sunflower, pulling it out entirely, used the small knife to trim its soft and dense roots. After refining it neatly without making it rough on the hands, she turned and walked to another magic plant.

Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourd.

A cluster of brown-red little gourds contained about 10ml of venom, capable of spraying poisonous mist upon strong pressure, causing humans to pass out from poisoning. However, directly extracting and injecting the venom into non-resistant E-level magical beasts could paralyze them into unconsciousness within three minutes.

A classmate at school had cultivated Poisonous Liquid Demon Gourd, and she had analyzed it, so she knew it very well.

Qian Qi cut open the top of the gourd, pouring the black venom inside onto the tip of the Thorny Cloud Sunflower. After opening five small gourds, she finally had the courage to enter the Black Forest.

The blue panel quietly waited for her, and after seeing her finish preparing, it "whooshed" into the depths of the Black Forest.

Qian Qi set foot into the domain of the Black Forest, a place dark and damp, with dim light barely illuminating the path on the ground. Listening to the roars of magical beasts, she deliberately lowered her footsteps to follow the blue panel.

After a series of nerve-wracking stealth actions, the blue panel finally stopped.

[↓↓↓]

The panel displayed three large arrow directions, Qian Qi approached and discovered a new magic plant not recorded in "Magic Plant Study."

[Peel it open↓.]

Looking at the magic plant covered in black thorns with only one large disk, Qian Qi thought: ...

She didn’t know where to start.

She took out her self-defense knife, gripped a black thorn, turning it over. Finally, she found a crack point and wedged the large black disk between two rocks. She placed the knife tip on the cracked pit, then picked up a small stone and smashed it hard against the knife handle.

With a "crack," the black shell of the large disk broke open, revealing the wriggling pink pulp inside. Following the system’s instructions, Qian Qi reached in with great reluctance, feeling around to extract three candy-sized brown fruits.

She shook off the white mucus from her hand and applied the decoding technique to the fruits.

[Magic Plant Name: Earth Fan Fruit

Belonging to Magic Plant: Earth Demon Tomato

Rank: E-level+

Effect: Provides temporary 10 minutes of physical defense, capable of resisting D-level magical beast and below attacks;

Suggested Market Price: 30,000 yuan/each]

"Whoa!" Qian Qi couldn’t help exclaiming.

[Humph, so how’s that, resisting D-level damage, isn’t it amaz...]

"One of these can sell for a market price of 30,000! It was worth entering this dungeon! Tongzi, I love you to death!!!" Qian Qi hugged the blue panel and showered it with kisses.

[...Hey?] ??? I thought you were excited about surviving, but it turns out you’re excited about money?

Also, don’t kiss the great me like that!

You’re making it all slobbery, gross!
