Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Are all you adults like this!
Sikong Wang has settled down at the orphanage.
Upon learning that Qian Qi’s friend was visiting, Xiang Wen Yun was very happy. Despite her happiness, she personally cleaned a room four doors down from Qian Qi’s room for Sikong Wang to stay in.
A truck loaded with gifts also arrived at the orphanage. The driver unloaded many new tables and chairs, along with a pile of new toys and fairy tale books, and carried them into the main courtyard and the multifunctional room.
Seeing so much brand-new furniture, the children were thrilled, and they followed the driver back and forth. Qian Ba also hopped around, full of curiosity about the new things.
It was only then that Sikong Wang noticed Qian Ba. At first, he thought it was a rare white-haired wolf cub, but upon closer inspection, he found that its smooth fur was more silver, especially when he met its icy blue wolf eyes. He immediately understood that it wasn’t an ordinary wolf.
"That wolf cub, it’s a magical beast, isn’t it?" Sikong Wang looked towards Qian Ba, his tone slightly serious.
Qian Qi glanced at Qian Ba, "Yes, it is."
Sikong Wang frowned and lowered his eyes. After thinking for a moment, he rarely showed a serious expression, "I don’t know where you found this magical beast cub, but you’d better not expose it..."
He paused, speaking intermittently, "It’s very easy to attract attention, especially since magical beast cubs are quite young..."
Qian Qi raised an eyebrow, "Cubs are young, so they’re easier to contract, right?"
Sikong Wang was stunned for a moment and then silently nodded, "Yes."
Magical beast cubs are extremely rare and precious among the Beast Master community. What he didn’t say was that behind these cubs are many untouchable power and interest chains, and even a bit of involvement for ordinary people is not a good thing.
Qian Qi couldn’t help but click his tongue, "This little guy may be a magical beast, but it can’t awaken any skills."
"Huh?" Sikong Wang was even more surprised, "There’s a magical beast that can’t awaken skills?"
Qian Qi looked at Qian Ba and nodded slightly heavily, "This child, like me, is a waste who can’t awaken."
Just after marveling at the new things, Qian Ba came over, coincidentally seeing Qian Qi’s sympathetic expression: ...
What’s the matter, she doesn’t want to ride on it again, does she?
"This really is rare," Sikong Wang couldn’t help but squat down, carefully examining Qian Ba but couldn’t see anything, "This is the first time I’ve heard of a magical beast that can’t awaken."
Such a magical beast indeed holds no profit.
"Alright, let’s leave it be and go make dumplings!" Qian Qi looked at the sky and urged.
Sikong Wang put away his curious gaze and nodded.
...
...
In the canteen, Qian Qi wore a pink apron wrapping dumplings with meat fillings. Around her was a group of children also making dumplings, creating a lively and warm atmosphere.
Sikong Wang had never made dumplings before. He cautiously held the dumpling skin, sitting next to Qian Qi, clumsily pinching the dumpling folds.
Child A beside was kneading dough and quickly crafted a few white rabbit shapes, distributing them to the nearby younger siblings. Instantly, Sikong Wang was drawn in, wanting to learn how to shape rabbits from Child A.
Child A generously demonstrated while covertly asking, "Are you a student at the Awakener University too, big brother?"
"Yes." In front of the children, Sikong Wang appeared naive and focused on the dough in Child A’s palm, nodding and saying, "I’m in the third year."
"Then..." Child A sneakily glanced at the busy Qian Qi making dumplings and quietly asked Sikong Wang, "Is Qian Qi really able to earn a lot of money?"
Sikong Wang thought about it. With Qian Qi’s expertise in cultivation and Beast Mastery, she should indeed earn good money, so he nodded, "Yes, she’s very capable."
Child A slightly widened his mouth, skeptically looking at Sikong Wang, "How capable? Can you describe it to me?"
"Hmm..." Sikong Wang pondered seriously, "Probably as capable as the head of an institute."
"How capable is the head of an institute?" Child A curiously asked again.
"Uh..." Sikong Wang paused, then countered, "What do you think is the most capable?"
"I think a Beast Master is the most capable!" Child A excitedly said, loving Beast Masters for their cool battles alongside Contracted Beasts and their ability to protect the orphanage! "My dream is to become a Beast Master!"
"Then she’s the kind of capable where even Beast Masters have to seek her help," Sikong Wang explained.
Child A’s eyes widened instantly, "How do you know?"
"Because I am a Beast Master."
Child A: !!!
"Do you have a Contracted Beast too? What level is it? What kind of beast is it? Have you entered an instance?" Child A eagerly asked.
"Yes, I’ve entered an instance, it’s a D-level Ghost Leopard," Sikong Wang patiently replied.
"D-level Ghost Leopard..." Child A quickly got up and ran to Qian Qi’s side, poking the blue Light Brain on her right wrist.
That was Li Haisheng’s Light Brain. Busy making dumplings, Qian Qi handed it to Child A as soon as he wanted it.
Ever since discovering she had a second Light Brain, Child A often found excuses to use it for looking up knowledge, but since she worried about what he might see, she never gave it to him outright.
Child A took the Light Brain, went back to Sikong Wang’s side, and searched for information about the Ghost Leopard.
"Wow... this leopard is so cool, it can even go invisible!" Child A widened his eyes, but upon seeing the slender figure of the Ghost Leopard, he suddenly glanced at Sikong Wang.
Sikong Wang: "What’s wrong?"
Child A: "Uh, nothing, just feels like your Contracted Beast seems a bit pitiful."
Kids often speak without a filter, but Child A had some emotional intelligence, so he tactfully asked, "Do you ride on the Ghost Leopard?"
Qian Qi loved riding on Qian Ba, and whenever Child A saw Qian Ba’s frail body struggling to lift Qian Qi, he felt sympathy.
So he wondered if Beast Masters also forced their Contracted Beasts to carry them.
Sikong Wang: ...
Sikong Wang seemed to understand what Child A meant; he paused for a bit, then suddenly turned and asked Qian Qi, "Qian Qi, I think this child is old enough now, right? Is he in first grade?"
Child A: ???
Hey! Are you embarrassed and angry now? I was just asking, why push me into the fire pit!
Are all you adults like this!
Qian Qi glanced at Child A, seriously thought for a while, "Hmm, if you say so, perhaps it’s time for school..."
Child A and a few children were probably of age to attend elementary school. Although the orphanage had teachers, they couldn’t teach as well or as much as a formal school.
Moreover, attending a regular elementary school and later a regular university to learn a skill to support themselves would be far better than staying in the orphanage.
However, tuition was a problem; Qian Qi currently had no money at all, and Sikong Wang’s medical fees awaited until the Magic God Grass was found.
To send the kids to school, she would need to find a way to make some money.
Alright~
Qian Qi blew the flour off her hands and thought to herself, then she would go make some money!
