Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Who is More Cruel?
Qian Qi tapped on the Light Brain keyboard, gave an "Oh" sound, and casually asked, "How did you kill him? Gave him a big punch on the back of the skull and then smashed him dead?"
System: ...
What big punch, can you be more elegant!
[That’s right, gave a big punch, and killed him.]
"Oh~ Oh oh~" Qian Qi couldn’t help but nod in agreement, "You’re quite thoughtful. Once the dungeon is cleared, someone might enter the dungeon afterward and save him, leading to future troubles."
The system wobbled, seeming a bit happy, [Humph, naturally.]
It lay on the bed, rolling back and forth, secretly happy that Qian Qi didn’t blame it for meddling.
At the same time, it felt satisfied with Qian Qi’s not-so-pure heart. After all, sometimes, this world is akin to a den of monsters, where if she isn’t ruthless, endless troubles and deaths await to capture the weak her.
Her selective kindness and selective ruthlessness allow her to live in this world smoothly, not so miserable, and not so cruelly dark.
The system was happy, but Qian Qi, who was tapping on the keyboard and fooling Chen Tong, felt a bit regretful.
It’s a pity. She originally wanted the wounded Li Haisheng to attract Magic Beasts due to the smell of blood, then be gradually drained of his strength by the endless Magic Beasts. Every time thinking he escaped, he meets new dangers, eventually dying despairingly in their mouths, or perhaps, watching himself being bit by bit consumed by the Magic Beasts, ending up as a lone skeleton...
Click, that scene must be beautiful... oh no, very pathetic.
Qian Qi regretfully shook her head and continued replying to Chen Tong.
[Sea King Great Sage]: Do you know why the Thunderbolt Horn of the Three-headed Demon Electric Lion is so expensive?
[Chen Tong isn’t grief]: Why?
[Sea King Great Sage]: Because I hid all the Demon Electric Lions in the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon, I only plucked their horns. If they don’t die, new Demon Electric Lions will never spawn in the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon!
[Sea King Great Sage]: The Chuyun Mountain Dungeon is full of dim great canyons, thousands of meters high. Want to find the hidden Demon Electric Lions? Dream on!
[Chen Tong isn’t grief]: ???
This Li Haisheng is so scheming?!
Chen Tong gritted his teeth, furious to the brink.
He lingered in place, unsure whether to buy or not. Being a student of the Magic Beast Department, he naturally knew that the Three-headed Demon Electric Lion hasn’t appeared in the market yet. If the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon is the only dungeon with Demon Electric Lions, he might have to painfully buy the Thunderbolt Horn from Li Haisheng.
"Damn it, next time can’t find too clever Awakeners." Chen Tong frowned tightly, learning from experience, "Dared to ask an exorbitant price, click, the last one who conned me was that damn Qian Qi."
Mentioning the name "Qian Qi," Chen Tong felt both love and hate, love for the good stuff she had that could change the Chen Family’s status, hate because she was so damned cheap, always bringing him endless humiliation!
The key was she always openly conned him out of his money!
"I’ll buy all the Thunderbolt Horns!" Chen Tong gritted his teeth and eventually decided to buy all the horns in full.
[Sea King Great Sage]: Transfer the money, I’ll pack and express them to you.
After saying so, Qian Qi directly went offline. She opened the real estate trade, glanced at the surrounding hundredfold soaring prices, and smiled as she listed the previously bought low-priced house in the "auction" column.
Selling at a set price is no fun, ah, she prefers the highest bidder wins~
...
The Chuyun Mountain Dungeon being cleared swiftly drew attention from above.
In a meeting room of the Dungeon Association, several senior figures sat on wooden chairs, intensely discussing the real level of the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon and its first conqueror.
"Chuyun Mountain Dungeon is definitely above C-level. Back then, we sent C-level Awakened Warriors into the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon twice, but they never came out again."
"Moreover, it’s been twenty years, and no one knows to what extent the Magic Beasts have grown within the dungeon."
"If it truly is a C-level dungeon, then what level of Awakener could single-handedly conquer the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon?"
"I guess it’s B-level."
"All B-level Awakeners in the country are recorded, and our department has contacted them; none admit it’s their doing."
"A-level is just those few. If they cleared the dungeon, they’d notify us, and since we haven’t received any notification, there’s only one answer left."
Several seniors simultaneously looked at the white-robed elder at the forefront, "President, what do you think?"
"Hmm, possibly a new B-level Awakener."
The white-robed elder slightly entwined his hands, "And the on-site surveillance?"
"I don’t know why, but the footage from the day before and after was deleted; we are trying to recover it, but the hopes are low."
"Footage deletion... came prepared, not wanting to reveal identity..."
The white-robed elder squinted slightly, contemplating something, meanwhile, a senior suddenly received a message, he stood up abruptly, "Someone said entering the Chuyun Mountain Dungeon requires a parachute!"
"What?" Several other seniors were taken aback, "What does that mean?"
"Must be the dungeon’s internal entrance, at high altitude..." That senior opened the dungeon forum, projecting the image onto the conference table, "Seems someone already entered the dungeon, but they... haven’t come out."
Once cleared, a dungeon can be freely entered before refreshing the dungeon boss. If these people entered the dungeon and didn’t return, it leaves only two answers...
Either, dead.
Or, they can’t return to the dungeon entrance.
The white-robed elder squinted at the projection, suddenly asked, "This person named ’Ex-wife ran away with money and man’, who is it?"
Several seniors looked over, finding "Ex-wife ran away with money and man" was the person who suggested bringing a parachute to enter the dungeon.
"Could it be, the President suspects it’s him...?" One senior couldn’t help saying, "Only those who entered the dungeon know what’s inside; his warning precisely proves he’s the one who cleared the dungeon."
"Not necessarily, maybe it’s just attention seeking?" Another senior was dismissive, "Not being able to return to the dungeon entrance, doesn’t necessarily mean only high altitude right? Could be... um, for example, space transfer?"
"Space transfer is too far-fetched, no?" Someone immediately refuted, "I think high altitude is more likely."
"Did we find out who this user is?" The white-robed elder ignored the seniors, turning to ask the secretary next to him.
"It’s an unregistered account, no real name authentication, no location." The secretary tapped on the keyboard, shaking his head.
"Go contact nearby military forces, have them send a flight unit in." The white-robed elder stood up and left the meeting room, leaving behind one last sentence, "Try it, and we’ll know the answer."
——
Qian Qi returned to the orphanage and entered the Vegetable Garden Dungeon. She found existing dungeons in the world have individual names, so she named the backyard dungeon the Vegetable Garden Dungeon.
Without the mural warning of the Three-headed Demon Electric Lion, Qian Qi easily killed the newly arrived Demon Electric Lion boss, once again gaining Strength buff and Thunderbolt Horn.
This time, she didn’t punch its head to explode, but forcefully blew poison gas at the Demon Electric Lion, finally poisoning the Demon Electric Lion into a daze.
Then she rolled up her sleeves, used the retractable D-level Long Blade scavenged from Li Haisheng, stabbed into the Demon Electric Lion’s heart, ending its life.
Back on the plain, she tidied up the well-growing tomatoes and scallions, Qian Qi left the dungeon, specifically finding Kid A.
"Look~" Qian Qi boasted, "This time, clean and tidy! Not a speck of dirt on me!"
Kid A looked at Qian Qi with an expression difficult to describe, "Isn’t this something a 19-year-old adult should’ve long achieved? You barely did it now, still feeling proud?"
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi decided not to make pork dumplings tonight, she will make Kid A’s most hated Asiatic penny-wort buns.
