Chapter 42: Principal, want to buy a VVVIP ticket?

Chapter 42: Chapter 42: Principal, want to buy a VVVIP ticket?

Although both Mr. Li and Mr. Sun are A-level Awakened Strong Persons, the headmaster still felt uneasy.

He decided to go to the Beast Taming Department Square to see which student was so brazen as to call him bald and dare to do such reckless deeds at school.

The headmaster donned his coat and dashed out, only to see Su Ang approaching right as he stepped out the door.

Su Ang paused slightly, seeing the headmaster’s hurried demeanor, assumed a nearby Magic Beast had emerged from its nest, "Headmaster, what’s going on?"

"A major, huge matter! Come, follow me!" The headmaster glanced at the time on his Light Brain, fearing he wouldn’t make it in time to stop the competition, he dragged Su Ang towards Beast Square.

By the time they arrived, many students were already queued up entering Beast Square; the headmaster glanced around, surprisingly spotting several familiar figures in the crowd.

Elder Zhao? Elder Zhou? Elder Wu? Wait, even Elder Zheng is here?

What’s happening? Could it be these seniors are holding a competition at Beast Square? But why wasn’t he informed about such a big event in advance?

The headmaster hurriedly tidied up his suit, preparing to ask what’s going on, but just as he took half a step, someone grabbed his arm.

"Headmaster?!"

Qian Qi’s excited voice suddenly rang out from behind, "Whoa! What brings you here, sir?"

"Qian Qi?" Seeing Qian Qi, the headmaster’s mouth instinctively twitched, feeling his arm suddenly ache.

Not sure if it’s because of Qian Qi’s strength or some unpleasant memories casting a shadow.

"Are you here to watch the competition too?" Qian Qi beamed cheerfully, his gaze flickered over the headmaster, then settling on the silver-haired beauty next to him, Su Ang.

Whoa, headmaster is something else, not only did he come, but also brought a little beauty along?

From the moment Qian Qi appeared, the headmaster had a bad feeling, glancing at Mr. Sun standing at the square entrance, then at Qian Qi, like a jovial tiger, his lips involuntarily trembled.

"You wouldn’t... be the main character of this competition, would you?" The headmaster nearly voice-cracked.

"No way!" Qian Qi immediately denied.

The headmaster just breathed a sigh of relief when Qian Qi seriously corrected him, "The main character is clearly me and the D-level Contracted Beast, headmaster, you can’t ignore the beast’s rights just because the Contracted Beast is a Magic Beast, that’s racial discrimination!"

Headmaster: ???

Damn it, why does my hand itch so much?

"Headmaster, want to go in and watch the competition?" Qian Qi looked around to make sure no one was watching, secretly slipped two tickets into the headmaster’s hand, "VVVIP front row seats! Purchase tickets to enter!"

The headmaster was amused, "Qian Qi, the whole school is mine, and you want money from me?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Qi’s face slightly changed, unmercifully pulled the tickets from the headmaster’s hand, showing a hint of disdain, "Oh come on, headmaster, all students paid up following the rules, we adults can’t freeload in front of the students, right?"

The headmaster’s mouth twitched: Who the hell is the "we adults" you’re talking about?

Just about to retort, Qian Qi suddenly clapped his hands, "But you’re right, as the headmaster, you should have your privileges!"

Qian Qi pointed to the beauty beside, Su Ang, "Here’s how it goes! I’ll sell you one ticket for the price of two for 400 yuan buy one get one free, this senior’s ticket is virtually a free gift, how about it?"

Upon hearing this, the headmaster felt Qian Qi was quite sensible, nodded, "Alright then, I’ll support your endeavor."

Saying so, he transferred 400 yuan to Qian Qi.

Qian Qi confirmed the payment received, quickly stuffed the two tickets back into the headmaster’s hand, enthusiastically ushered the headmaster and Su Ang through the Beast Square gates.

"Whoa, headmaster, here to see the competition?" Uncle Sun, sitting on a chair in the guardroom, chuckled, "Bought a ticket?"

Headmaster: ...

Is playing along with Qian Qi so amusing for you!

The headmaster placed two VVVIP tickets in front of Mr. Sun, Uncle Sun meticulously checked the tickets’ authenticity, then gave the headmaster a meaningful smile.

At this moment, the headmaster still did not understand the meaning of that smile.

After the ticket check, he and Su Ang entered Beast Square together.

Su Ang remained silent along the way, until reaching the viewing gallery, finally opened his mouth slowly, "Headmaster... what exactly is this major event you mentioned?"

Headmaster: ...

Headmaster: ???

Damn?

The headmaster finally realized: Wait a second? Wasn’t he coming here to stop the competition!!!

The headmaster wiped a cold sweat, this definitely wasn’t his carelessness, it was because Qian Qi was too cunning, causing him to forget.

However...

The headmaster rubbed his chin, said in a deep voice, "If it’s her, maybe she really can?"

This kid looks cunning, not likely she’d knowingly face inevitable death to challenge a D-level Contracted Beast.

Moreover, in recent days conversing with Mo Yinqiu, he found out Qian Qi truly is a Magic Plant genius, not only help classmates heal near-dead Magic Plants, but even cultivated Fire Qilin Lotus beneficial to Flame Dogs.

Mind, even in the instances Fire Qilin Lotus would only bear one fruit, but Qian Qi’s grown ones yielded three exceptionally high-quality Fire Qilin Fruits, even calling her a "genius" seems somewhat stingy.

Not to mention the Blood Stopping Magic Potion...

"Could it be, her smashing those Magic Plants in the past was because she felt those planted Magic Plants were too rubbish?" The headmaster couldn’t help but think he discovered the truth.

"Headmaster?" Su Ang stopped walking, interrupting the headmaster’s wild guessing, pointed to the first-row seats, his voice calmly, "We’re here."

The headmaster "oh"ed, sat down in his seat, just about to answer Su Ang’s earlier question, heard what’s seemingly a couple squabbling nearby.

"Why did you come!" The guy’s tone was foul, seemingly displeased at his girlfriend’s arrival.

"Why can’t I be here!" The girl wasn’t at all subdued by his bad temper, slightly mocked, "Seems I overthought, your relationship with Qian Qi isn’t so great, after all, ticket cost was still at the full price."

The headmaster overhearing inadvertently rubbed his chin, thought Qian Qi still had some decency, knowing to give friends a discount.

However, surely not as favorable as his, he got buy one get one free!

Beside him, the guy frowned, asked, "How much did you pay for your VVVIP ticket?"

The girl huffed lightly, "Half of what you did, 100 yuan!"

"What?!"

"What?!" fre.eweb(n)ovel\.c om

The two angry voices followed one another, the former from Chen Tong; jealousy and rage flooded his eyes, "I should’ve haggled! Damn, and I’m even sponsoring this competition!"

The latter voice was the headmaster’s, he suddenly stood, voice-cracking questioned, "Student, you just said, what was the original VVVIP ticket price???"

"Headmaster?" Chen Tong turned, seeing headmaster’s presence, startled briefly, hurriedly replied, "200 yuan, why?"

Headmaster: !!!

yuan?!

Didn’t I pay 400 yuan, effectively purchasing two VVVIP tickets at the original price?

The headmaster instantly understood he had been tricked, the buy one get one was nothing more than Qian Qi’s ploy to sell him tickets!

The more the headmaster thought, the angrier he got, fumes practically rose above his head, no wonder Mr. Sun was grinning strangely earlier, it makes sense now he knew the trickery?

But hold on? That doesn’t make sense, he was quite far from Mr. Sun, how would Mr. Sun know he got scammed out of 400 yuan by Qian Qi?
