Chapter Nine: Acquiring a New Title—Demon of Territorial Conquest!

Page 1/3

Seeing Han Tian and the others all wearing expressions of hesitation, as if wanting to refuse, Qian Qi sighed regretfully.

“Don’t these people understand that fortune favors the bold? What if I’m a hidden genius?” Qian Qi scolded them in frustration. “High risk, high reward. If they were braver, they’d realize what a powerful ally they’re holding onto!”

The blue panel glanced down at her slender leg: [Doesn’t look that powerful.]

Qian Qi waved the blue panel away in annoyance, then turned back to Han Tian with a kind tone. “By the way, since you’re done using that experimental plot, could I borrow it for a month?”

Han Tian didn’t know what she intended to do with the plot but just wanted to end the conversation quickly, so he nodded immediately. “Sure, you can have it for two months if you want.”

Qian Qi’s eyes suddenly lit up. She had chosen the right person—Han Tian looked frail and weak, very easy to take advantage of... no, very kind and generous, surely willing to lend her his idle plot.

Silently crossing Han Tian’s name off her mental list, Qian Qi put on a “friendly” smile and approached the next student.

“Hey~ I heard you haven’t been planting much recently~?”

The next student: … Don’t come near me!!!

That day became nothing short of a nightmare for the students of Magical Botany Class 1.

Because that madwoman Qian Qi had snatched away their precious experimental plots!

Though they didn’t need them at the moment, it didn’t stop them from hating this dreadful land-grabbing demon!

Unaware she had earned herself a new nickname, after successfully “borrowing” seven plots, the class bell rang. Still wanting more, Qian Qi licked her lips and sat down in the front row.

These experimental plots were enough for now. Next, she would focus on nurturing these magical plants.

Qian Qi herself had no grand ambitions. She just wanted to make some money, apply for magical plant cultivation rights after graduation, then buy some land and open a factory, producing hemostatic magical medicine to become rich, and finally enjoy a sweet retirement like living in a honey jar.

“A single Three-Scale Orchid matures in seven days; other magical plants take at most fifteen days. That should yield about two kilograms of hemostatic medicine, ten grams per bag, each bag selling for 998 yuan—that’s nearly 200,000 yuan. If I secure ten acres... hehehe~”

Calculating it all, Qian Qi couldn’t help but grin slyly. She could almost see her prosperous and comfortable retirement just around the corner!

On the podium, the teacher preparing to give the lecture noticed Qian Qi—who never attended class before—had suddenly shown up. Seeing her with such a dark and sinister smile, the teacher shuddered involuntarily and quickly looked away.

The toxic element of this academy must be up to something bad again.

…

After class, Qian Qi grabbed her textbook and looked around the classroom for her dear dining companion, only to find Chen Miaomiao had already left early to skip class.

She sighed regretfully—no chance to mooch a meal at noon.

After buying two large steamed buns at the cafeteria, Qian Qi headed straight to the back mountain to begin her great enterprise.

Using her analysis technique, she examined the information of three seeds, then followed the procedure to plant them, immediately pulling out her light-brain to record the planting report.

“Plants from another world that can kill—how truly marvelous,” she mused. After finishing the record, Qian Qi glanced at the magical plants cultivated by senior students in the distance. Most were over two meters tall, some even reaching three meters, with broad, rough leaves, covered in tough, sharp thorns, and shark-like razor teeth—she couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of alien species.

“The monsters in those dungeons must have even more breathtaking creatures,” Qian Qi thought to herself. Unfortunately, whether in her past life or this one, she only wanted a stable, wealthy life and had no intention of entering those dangerous dungeons.

Hunting monsters to protect the world? Leave that to the Awakened.

She just needed to provide the Awakened with affordable and high-quality hemostatic medicine.

Pulling over a small stool, Qian Qi sat down lazily and opened her textbook. The midday sun blazed down fiercely, wilting the giant magical plants, but the cheerful girl studied intently, occasionally nibbling on a bun with great appetite.

At 2:45 p.m., Qian Qi closed her book and headed to Li Shuyun’s experimental plot to water the Fire Qilian plant for the second time.

Coincidentally, Li Shuyun was there. Seeing Qian Qi, she tensed instinctively and immediately regretted choosing this time to climb the mountain.

“Senior Li~” Despite Li Shuyun’s coldness toward her, Qian Qi greeted warmly, smiling, “Are you here to record the growth report of the magical plants?”

“Yes,” Li Shuyun replied stiffly. “Where is Junior Qian?”

“I’m watering the Fire Qilian.”

Qian Qi smiled and opened a bag of urea beside the plot. She began mixing the urea with water according to the proportion. Watching her skilled movements, Li Shuyun grew puzzled.

She had heard Qian Qi was a poor student who knew nothing about planting, but this practiced measuring and mixing technique didn’t look like something a poor student could do.

Still… Li Shuyun couldn’t help but say, “Junior Qian, the first step in planting Fire Qilian is to prepare two kilograms of nitrogen-potassium compound fertilizer to enrich the soil…”

Qian Qi looked up at her once; Li Shuyun instantly fell silent, regretting her unsolicited advice. What if Qian Qi thought she was mocking her poor academic standing?

Unexpectedly, Qian Qi only smiled simply. “I know, but I want to try a different planting method.”

A different one?

Li Shuyun was confused. The planting plan for Fire Qilian in the textbook was confirmed by many years of research by numerous magical plant researchers as the “most likely way to grow Fire Qilian fruit.”

How could a freshman like Qian Qi—at the bottom of her class—possibly discover a more effective method?

Li Shuyun wanted to persuade Qian Qi not to waste time, but seeing her so confident, she just moved her lips and said nothing.

Better not to interfere—rare to see this junior with such enthusiasm for learning.

Of course, she mostly feared saying too much might get her hit.

After Li Shuyun left, Qian Qi wandered through the back mountain. Simply reading the textbook was dull; she preferred combining knowledge with real objects. Naturally, she first observed the magical plants used in the hemostatic medicine formula.

Many students happened to be planting those species in the back mountain, which was very convenient for Qian Qi. Busy all afternoon, she went down the mountain for a meal, then returned to tend her plots.

At 10:45 p.m., after watering the Fire Qilian for the third time and recording the soil data, she finally descended the mountain under the starlight.

…

The next morning, when Chen Miaomiao secretly got up in the dark, Qian Qi suddenly opened her eyes and cheerfully said, “Miaomiao, you’re up so early! Why didn’t you invite me to eat together?”

Chen Miaomiao screamed!!!

She was so startled she banged her forehead hard against the iron frame of the upper bunk, her face contorted in pain.

Damn it—Qian Qi, that lunatic, must have been watching her wake up early on purpose!

She seriously wanted to kill her!

But seeing Qian Qi’s teasing smile, Chen Miaomiao was too scared to do anything but grit her teeth, forcing out a reluctant smile through clenched teeth: “No, I was just about to call you.”
