A few minutes later, Qian Qi added Su Xingle's Light Brain number. After returning his coat and student card, she left the boys' dormitory, satisfied.
"There's one more chance to use the Decoding Technique today, let's take a stroll to the back mountain~"
Each school at Awakener University has its own territory, like the Magic Beast Department's dissection lab, the Beast Taming Department's Magic Beast storage, the Command Department's combat simulation room, and the Skill Department's duel ground.
And the plantation in the back mountain is the exclusive territory of the Magic Plant Department, used for students to plant and study magic plants.
"Let's see, who should I analyze?"
Standing on the mountain top, Qian Qi raised her hand to look around, taking in the sight of the dancing magic plants, getting ready to pick one that looked easy to bully. Suddenly, the system interface appeared.
It hovered above a dark red magic plant, drawing a big, bold "↓".
"You want me to analyze this one?"
Qian Qi walked over and found that the appearance of this magic plant resembled a plant from her previous life called "Spring Orchid." Countless blood-red thin leaves surrounded a flower bud, with densely packed sharp serrated edges on the leaves, and three petals with orange-red and blood-red striped patterns adorned the white flower bud.
[Magic Plant Name: Three Scale Orchid
Rank: E-level
Attack Method: Leaves possess autonomous attack capability when approached, and the bud petals have projectile attack capability
Weakness: Exposure to strong light
Organ Function Analysis: Roots, Stems, Leaves, Flowers, Fruits, Seeds]
Qian Qi tapped through the [Organ Function Analysis], and soon her eyes lit up, "The petals of the Three Scale Orchid have a hemostatic effect?"
She checked the Light Brain and found that there indeed were studies showing that the Three Scale Orchid petals had a hemostatic effect, but the effect was so poor that it couldn't even compare to human-developed hemostatic medicine, making this function pretty useless.
"This..." Qian Qi couldn't help but look towards the system interface.
[Dear, are you lost and don't know which way to go? Is your pocket empty while you dream of becoming a millionaire? Are you alone and wanting the company of 8 male models?]
"? Speak human language."
[For just 998, you can get the formula for "Magic Potion: Strong Hemostatic Medicine"~ If you're interested, act now, what are you waiting for~ Just 998 and the magic potion is yours!]
Qian Qi: ???
What's with this intense sales pitch vibe?
Qian Qi pointed at the two words on the interface, "Magic Potion?"
[Magic Potion is made from various magic plants in a certain ratio to create a medicine that usually has miraculous effects~ For example, the "Strong Hemostatic Medicine", even if a main artery is cut, it can instantly heal and stop the bleeding~]
"So magical?" Qian Qi's eyes lit up. In this world, humans should be prone to injuries; if she could produce this magic potion, she'd surely make a fortune.
"Impressive as always!" Qian Qi instantly showed an expression of admiration and shouted, "To have such a powerful function, it's rare in the world, only you possess it. With your protection, I can walk sideways in life!"
[Cough cough, no need to praise, no need.]
"So, can't we make it cheaper? I think 20 bucks would be just right." Qian Qi very meticulously reserved her meal money for 7 days.
[...Get lost!]
Who haggles like this?!
"Is it really not possible?" Qian Qi pulled out an old and worn-out 20 bucks, shaking it in front of the blue interface, "I need to live first, to bring you more wealth, right?"
She discovered that the system's operation mechanism was to charge money, and as long as money was given, it would provide some intelligence.
The system interface was silent for a moment, then shortly after: [Installment over 2 months, 20 for the first month, 978 for the second month.]
"90."
[978!]
"120."
[978!]
"300, not a penny more."
[778, 778, is that okay with you?]
"578, my bottom line, otherwise I might as well starve."
[...678! Final offer! Yes or no!]
"Alright then~ As expected of the generous System Lord~" Qian Qi hurriedly stuffed the money into the blue interface.
The interface stepped back, [I want that brand new 20 bucks in your pocket.]
"...You're picky, huh?" Qian Qi grumbled as she pulled back the old, worn-out bill and handed over the brand new, shiny 20 bucks from her pocket to the system interface.
After swallowing the money, Qian Qi saw the magic potion formula for the Strong Hemostatic Medicine appear on the interface.
"Three Scale Orchid Petals, mixed with equal proportions of Vermilion Flame Grass Leaves, Toseng Fruit Peel, and de-skinned and seedless Pu Feng Fruit, ground into powder, then..."
"Hmm." Qian Qi scratched her chin; it seemed she needed to gather these materials next.
She recalled Liang Yuting mentioning that every student could apply for 10 free magic plant seeds each semester, so she'd better go ask the teacher if there were any of these magic plant seeds first~
...
Awakener University Office Building.
The sun was shining brightly today; Mo Yinqiu lazily sat on a wooden chair on the office balcony, enjoying this rare "paid day off."
Because the Magic Plant major isn't favored, few people are willing to come here to teach. Even top graduates usually choose to join the slightly better-paid Magic Plant Research Institute rather than become a Magic Plant Department teacher, earning only 2000 bucks a month.
Therefore, the few teaching staff in the Magic Plant Department were personally allocated by the head of the Magic Plant Research Institute to give lectures.
Usually, there are only five classes a week, and a duty teacher is assigned to answer students' questions.
Mo Yinqiu is a first-year tutor in the Magic Plant Department, and it's her turn to be on duty today.
"Paid days off are the best!" Mo Yinqiu stretched her slender jade-like legs, taking a hard swig from a beer can nearby. Her stunning beauty and hot figure frequently captured the attention of male teachers from the adjacent Magic Beast Department, causing them to sneak glances her way.
Just as Mo Yinqiu was enjoying this leisurely time, there was a sudden knock on the office door.
"Come in," Mo Yinqiu said, picking up a small tablecloth to cover the beer can.
As soon as Qian Qi entered, she saw a gorgeous woman sitting on the wooden chair on the balcony. She searched her memory and confirmed this was the first-year teacher of the Magic Plant Department—Mo Yinqiu.
Mo Yinqiu also sized up Qian Qi; she knew this student who was always up to no good, frequently fighting and skipping classes. She had personally warned her here once that if it happened again, she would be expelled.
But this was the first time Qian Qi approached her voluntarily?
Mo Yinqiu raised her chin slightly, "What's up?"
"Teacher Mo, I'd like to apply for magic plant seeds." Qian Qi put on the appearance of a good student, "Could you tell me the application procedure?"
Applying for magic plant seeds?
Mo Yinqiu cast a suspicious glance at Qian Qi. She remembered that every student had applied for seeds several times, except Qian Qi, who had never applied. But as Qian Qi was never interested in planting magic plants, why did she suddenly want seeds?
"Qian Qi, you know that magic plant seeds cannot be sold to outsiders, right? Doing so would result in immediate expulsion," Mo Yinqiu narrowed her eyes, her stunning face showing authority without anger.
She really couldn't figure out why Qian Qi suddenly wanted seeds. It wasn't likely she suddenly became studious, right?
Qian Qi pondered for two seconds, finally admitting honestly, "I actually didn't know."
Mo Yinqiu: ???
