The first thing Qian Qi did after getting the money was to buy the second-hand stone grinding machine she had been eyeing for a while.

After a series of grinding, mixing, adding agents, re-grinding, and sifting, Qian Qi finally produced the hemostatic magical potion.

“Can this thing really stop bleeding in a second?”

Shaking the glass cup filled with white powder, Qian Qi couldn’t help but glance at the system.

【Why don’t you cut yourself and find out? ^_^】

Qian Qi: …

“I believe in you,” Qian Qi said solemnly. “If I were to cut myself, it would be a sign of distrust toward you!”

【Hehe.】

Qian Qi picked up a few small sealed bags from the table and filled each with 10 grams of the hemostatic powder. She had already thought of where to sell this hemostatic potion. Awakener University often had students sparring for practice, leading to frequent incidents of bleeding. The school hospital was always overcrowded.

She had originally planned to set up a stall in front of the school hospital, but considering that she might be chased away by the hospital staff, she decided it would be better to sell the potion at the “scene of the crime.”

Half an hour later, Qian Qi stood in front of the combat square of the Skill Department, holding a cardboard box and a small stool.

If you asked where the highest incidence of “bleeding incidents” occurred, the combat square of the Skill Department would undoubtedly rank first.

Students with various awakened skills often dueled here to improve their abilities. However, since they often didn’t hold back, injuries and bleeding were inevitable.

Of course, the most important thing was that many students in the Skill Department were wealthy.

Qian Qi found a prime spot and placed the cardboard box filled with hemostatic potions on the ground. She had found the box in the trash behind the school hospital. It was brand new and could probably sell for at least two cents based on its weight.

Sitting on the small stool, she crossed her legs and began to shout:

“Take a look~ Take a look~ Qian Qi’s hemostatic potion, stops bleeding in a second, everyone who buys it says it’s great~”

“Don’t miss out~ Don’t miss out~ Not 99, not 88, just 998, and you can take it home~”

“A shocking clearance sale! Classmates, take a look, even if you lose a limb, it’ll stop the bleeding instantly~”

When a student passing by curiously stopped to take a look, Qian Qi quickly stood up and enthusiastically introduced, “Classmate, you won’t regret buying this, you won’t be fooled. My hemostatic potion stops bleeding in a second, it’s definitely a lifesaver!”

“Stops bleeding in a second? That’s a bit of an exaggeration, isn’t it?” The student shook his head. “I don’t believe it.”

Qian Qi’s eyes rolled, and she immediately sat back on the small stool, crossing her legs and saying coldly, “You must be ignorant if you haven’t heard of my name, Qian Qi. In our Magical Plant Department, this hemostatic potion is in high demand, even the big shots outside are fighting over it… Hmph!”

She cleverly stopped there. “If it weren’t for my deep love for my classmates, I wouldn’t be selling it to you first… Hmph!”

Seeing Qian Qi’s confident demeanor, the student couldn’t help but be tempted. He asked, “Then how much is this?”

“A flat price of 998, and I’ll wrap it up for you to take home!” Qian Qi slapped her leg and gave him a flirtatious eyebrow raise.

“…That’s way too expensive! A thousand bucks for such a small bag?” Unfortunately, upon hearing the price, the student immediately took two steps back, shook his head, and walked away.

As he left, he muttered, “Might as well go to the school hospital to stop the bleeding! ‘Stops bleeding in a second’ sounds like a gimmick!”

“Tsk, this is something that can save your life on the spot, and you think a thousand bucks is expensive?” Hearing the student’s complaint, Qian Qi couldn’t help but mutter a few words, then turned to comfort the system. “System, don’t be sad. It’s not that our product is bad, it’s that he doesn’t know its value!”

【…Thanks, but it’s you who’s sad, not me.】

“There will always be gullible big spenders who believe us!” Qian Qi ignored the system and continued to comfort herself. “I refuse to believe I won’t sell a single bag today!”

Qian Qi continued to hawk her wares, using various catchy slogans to attract a crowd to her stall. However, upon hearing the effects and the price, they couldn’t help but laugh and mock her.

“She must be desperate for money, passing off ordinary hemostatic powder as a ‘one-second hemostatic potion’ and selling it for so much.”

“Yeah, even with today’s medical technology, it’s impossible to achieve a one-second hemostatic effect. This kid is really full of it.”

“Oh, you know how it is, the Magical Plant Department is full of broke lunatics who think we’re all gullible big spenders~”

The Skill Department students burst into laughter, then quickly turned their attention to the upcoming duel in the combat square. “Come on, let’s go watch. Someone’s fighting over there.”

By midday, the combat square was bustling with people, but Qian Qi hadn’t sold a single bag of hemostatic potion.

【Qian Qi, don’t be sad. It’s not that our product is bad, it’s that they don’t know its value~ ＾＿＾】

Qian Qi: …

【There will always be gullible big spenders who believe us! ＾＿＾】

Qian Qi: …

【We’ll definitely sell at least one bag! ＾＿＾】

Qian Qi: …

Damn it, she was going to chew the system up one day.

Deep down, Qian Qi knew that if she were willing to cut herself and publicly demonstrate the effects of the hemostatic potion, many people would be willing to buy it at a high price.

But…

One bag of hemostatic potion was 998 yuan! She couldn’t bear to waste it! She couldn’t bring herself to do it!

But no one was willing to spend money to be her guinea pig!

Damn it!

Couldn’t a rich guinea pig fall from the sky so she could cut it!!!

As Qian Qi shamelessly prayed, at the same time, at the east gate of Awakener University.

A pure black wheel-less hovercar stopped at the school gate, and a young man in black stepped out.

The young man was extremely handsome, wearing a long black trench coat. His light silver hair shimmered like silver willow branches under the sunlight, and his deep, dark eyes carried a faint sense of detachment. Despite his young age, he exuded a cold, ruthless aura that made people wary.

Seeing the middle-aged man waiting for him at the gate, his thin lips parted slightly. “Principal.”

“Finally, you’re here,” the principal said with a warm smile as he saw the young man in black. “Finished clearing out the monsters in Zone D? How did it go?”

“Yes, all the monsters have been cleared. Two D-level awakeners, eight E-level awakeners, and seventeen ordinary people died,” the young man said indifferently, as if he were merely reciting a string of cold data, appearing utterly unfeeling.

The principal fell silent for a moment, then turned and led the young man into the campus.

“The D-level monster nest appeared very suddenly. Luckily, you were nearby, or there could have been more casualties,” the principal said after some thought, trying to comfort him. “You did your best.”

The young man in black nodded. “No need to comfort me, Principal. I’m used to it.”

The principal chuckled. He knew the comfort was somewhat unnecessary. Su Ang was his student and had been following his father to the battlefield since he was a child. He had long been accustomed to death.

Just as he was about to change the subject, a heart-wrenching voice suddenly pierced the principal’s ears like a suona horn.

“Classmate! One-second hemostatic potion! No side effects, absolutely genuine!”

“Only 998, even the King of Hell will pretend not to see you—”

The principal turned around with a dark expression, ready to see who was being so brazen as to disrupt the school’s atmosphere, only to find Qian Qi desperately tugging at a male student, frantically promoting her product.

“Why is he in the Skill Department?” The principal recognized Qian Qi. After all, Qian Qi had skipped classes too many times and often got into fights, destroying her classmates’ magical plants. Several teachers had jointly reported her to him.

As a result, he had once talked to Qian Qi, warning her that if she continued to cause trouble, she would be expelled.

“Tsk, this kid used to get into fights all the time, and now he’s started swindling people too.” The principal couldn’t help but frown.

Hearing this, Su Ang glanced in Qian Qi’s direction.

One moment, Qian Qi was praying: Rich guinea pig, come quickly!

The next moment, the rich guinea pig appeared without delay!
