Chapter 37: Chapter 37 This is Clearly Her Little Treasure

As soon as Qian Qi returned to school, she was targeted by Chen Tong.

That stupid Chen Miaomiao, who knows what she was doing, didn’t even report Qian Qi’s whereabouts, so he only found out now about her leaving school.

Missing a chance to take her out off-campus, Chen Tong had to turn his attention back to the campus.

But these matters are not urgent yet.

Behind a big tree, Chen Tong hid in the shadows, staring at Qian Qi’s swaggering back, his eyes filled with malice and greed.

Although his family was wealthy, it was only wealth; they were still lacking in power.

In this world, there were too many rich people, which is why Mo Yinqiu and Gu Liheng showed no favoritism when dealing with him and Qian Qi.

Because they weren’t concerned about his family background at all.

To be feared, one must have power that others dread or possess something that others desperately want.

Like the Blood Stopping Magic Potion.

Thinking about the otherworldly effects of the Blood Stopping Magic Potion, Chen Tong’s heart started racing.

He knew very well that once the supply chain or the preparation method of the potion was monopolized, not just ordinary people but awakeners all over the world would bow and scrape to the Chen family!

By then, a mere Qian Qi wouldn’t even need him to dirty his hands; countless people would be willing to do the job for him!

"This time she’s leaving school, it’s probably to restock," a thought flashed through Chen Tong’s mind, and he started following Qian Qi.

...

After returning to school, Qian Qi immediately transferred 500,000 to Xiang Wen Yun.

After thinking for a bit, she painfully transferred another 30,000 to Xiang Wen Yun.

Damn it, these 30,000 she just got her hands on, she hadn’t even warmed them up before they were gone. No ordinary person could imagine how much it hurt her heart!

Of course, she wasn’t doing this because she was too kind-hearted.

No matter whether the Bright Orphanage was transferred or taken over from above, that E-level dungeon’s existence would be exposed.

Once it became public property, she wouldn’t be able to monopolize the dungeon.

So, she absolutely couldn’t let the Bright Orphanage go bankrupt.

For Qian Qi, no matter how important money was, one’s life came first. Having a lot of money meant she had to become strong to protect her assets.

As such, the dungeon’s attributes and rewards were indispensable to her.

"I’ll just consider it as transferring the orphanage to me. When the dungeon is of no use to me, I won’t transfer money to her anymore," Qian Qi felt she was doing a benevolent and righteous deed.

"Hmm, next, I should handle the Defense Fruit."

Qian Qi picked up a small stool and rummaged through the trash can at the back door of the school hospital, retrieving a clean and brand new small cardboard box.

"Hahaha~ Saved another 10 bucks!" Qian Qi couldn’t help but put her hands on her hips and laugh up at the sky.

Chen Tong, who was tracking her: ...

Are you crazy! So stingy???

Feeling speechless and disgusted, Chen Tong arched a brow and followed Qian Qi to the dueling square of the Skill Department.

Setting down the small stool, Qian Qi tossed the Defense Fruit from her pocket into the small cardboard box, cleared her throat, and started shouting:

"Handsome guys, beautiful ladies, if you’re tired from walking, stop and rest, if you’re tired from fighting, take a break, if you’re bored, have a chat with me, Qian Qi!"

"Qian Qi products are top-notch, if you know the goods, take it home! Super Defense Fruit, eat it and you can defend against D-level magical beast damage!"

"In water, you might not last 10 minutes, on the bed, you might not last 10 minutes, but our Defense Fruit can definitely let you last 10 minutes under a D-level magical beast’s attack!"

"A real man eats Defense Fruit! A real woman seizes the man!"

The system monitoring Chen Tong: (￣□￣;)...

Where did you learn that advertisement slogan?

Qian Qi’s ad was truly novel and quirky, immediately attracting a group of Skill Department students. Many had already heard of Qian Qi’s name through the forum and thought she was here to sell Blood Stopping Potion again, so they eagerly asked:

"Boss, are you selling Hemostatic Medicine?"

"I want to buy 10 packs!"

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you buying so many? You don’t plan on reselling them, do you?"

"What are you saying! I’m buying them for my family! My parents often go into instances, having Blood Stopping Potion greatly increases their survival chances!"

They opened their Light Brains, prepared to make the transaction, but when they looked down, they found only ten sugar-sized brown fruits in the box.

"Not selling Blood Stopping Potion today, everyone!" Qian Qi pointed at the little box and smiled, "Today we’re selling Defense Fruit, eat it and for 10 minutes, you’ll be immune to all D-level magical beast damage!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone took a deep breath, "What? Immune to all D-level damage? Even fire element damage, thunder element damage can be immune?"

"Of course!" Qian Qi patted her chest confidently, "I’ve personally tested it!"

"Tch." In the crowd, someone suddenly sneered, "You’re so stingy, would you even be willing to personally test it?"

Qian Qi looked towards the person who spoke and couldn’t help but frown.

Why is it this fool again?

The one who just spoke was Chen Tong. He was mixed in with the crowd, looking at Qian Qi with disdain.

Earlier, he heard that to sell Blood Stopping Potion, Qian Qi even made the principal go to lengths of spending money and effort, and someone who wouldn’t even buy a new cardboard box, how could she possibly be willing to eat such a precious and potent Defense Fruit?

Seeing Qian Qi frown, Chen Tong felt like he got the acknowledgment, becoming even more mocking, "I bet your Defense Fruit is picked directly from magic plants. It’s well-known that magic plants can’t be directly consumed, whether it’s leaves or fruits; even awakeners would suffer side effects if eaten."

"Qian Qi, the Blood Stopping Potion might be safe, but feeding classmates magic plant fruits is totally irresponsible, don’t you think?"

Chen Tong spoke with logic and reason, making the agitated students around hesitate.

"True, directly consuming magic plants does have side effects."

"If she really tested it herself, she should be lying in the school hospital right now."

"If she’s not in the school hospital, she must be lying."

Once a merchant lies, trust is lost. The crowd looked at Qian Qi and the Defense Fruit, hesitating and doubting.

Seeing the crowd backing off, Chen Tong proudly added fuel to the fire, "And who doesn’t know that Qian Qi is a school loser, there’s no way you made the Blood Stopping Potion, you probably got it from some supplier, right?"

"Gaining the students’ trust and then selling them magic plant fruits with side effects, Qian Qi that’s just too unscrupulous."

Chen Tong pinned all these accusations on Qian Qi, even the eavesdropping system was infuriated.

[This damn idiot——what’s he even saying? If he doesn’t want his mouth, he can donate it!]

"Hey~ don’t say that about Senior Brother Chen~" Qian Qi suddenly relaxed her brows, smiling, "He’s not an idiot——he’s obviously my little darling~"

[???]

Your taste is that heavy?

Qian Qi mysteriously smiled, sitting on the small stool, spreading her legs, pressing her arms on her thighs.

Leaning slightly forward, she spoke in an old hoodlum manner, "Kid, food that can’t be eaten casually, words also can’t be spoken casually."
