Qian Qi also noticed Su Ang.

The young man in black’s distinctive silver hair was truly eye-catching, making it impossible for her not to notice him. Not to mention his breathtakingly handsome appearance. Qian Qi’s throat moved, and she almost couldn’t hold back the hooligan whistle that was about to escape her lips.

【Were you just about to whistle like a hooligan?】

Qian Qi: Don’t talk nonsense (＾－＾)~
【Your lips were already forming the shape.】

Qian Qi: It’s the original host’s habit, not mine (＾－＾)~
【…】The original host never had a habit of whistling!

Shocked by the young man’s excessively handsome appearance, Qian Qi turned to a random student she had grabbed and asked, “Classmate, who is that?”

The student glanced back and immediately recognized the person. “That’s Su Ang, a senior from the Command Department.”

“Su Ang…” Qian Qi observed the young man in black from a distance, feeling that the name suited the beauty perfectly. It carried a sense of etherealness, like stars scattered across the vast galaxy, yet also exuded the aura of a powerful figure walking the earth, leaving a deep impression.

But soon, Qian Qi looked away.

“Classmate,” Qian Qi, still fixated on her first business deal, spoke earnestly to the student she had grabbed, “have you not heard of my name, Qian Qi?”

The original host was quite famous in the Magical Plant and Magical Beast Departments, but in the Skill Department, she was a nobody. After all, everyone here was an awakener. If it weren’t for the school’s rule that awakeners couldn’t attack ordinary people, any one of these students could beat the original host to a pulp.

This was undoubtedly a disadvantage for Qian Qi.

She had to make sure every student in the Skill Department knew her name, Qian Qi.

Only then could she establish a brand chain effect. Once everyone knew that the potions she produced were one-of-a-kind, wouldn’t she be able to raise prices as she pleased?

Qian Qi couldn’t help but let out a sinister laugh.

Hearing Qian Qi’s malicious laughter, Little Wang, who had just been passing by when she grabbed him, couldn’t help but shiver.

Coincidentally, Little Wang had indeed heard of Qian Qi’s name.

A friend of his was a student in the Magical Beast Department and had once told him in great detail about Qian Qi’s “heroic” deeds.

He had heard that Qian Qi was extremely arrogant, to the point where even the instructors and the principal couldn’t do anything about her, allowing this toxic presence to grow more and more rampant in the Magical Plant and Magical Beast Departments.

He hadn’t believed it at first—after all, how could the esteemed principal be powerless against a mere Qian Qi?

But his friend had repeatedly warned him never to provoke Qian Qi, so when Qian Qi brought up her name, he immediately backed down.

“Classmate, can’t you make it a bit cheaper?” Little Wang whispered, trying to negotiate. Although he was quite wealthy, he didn’t want to be a sucker!
“Tsk, bargaining isn’t really my thing, classmate,” Qian Qi patted his shoulder reassuringly. “If you’ve got the money, just buy it, okay?”

If you don’t have the money, you don’t have to buy it. Qian Qi wasn’t an unreasonable person, right?
Qian Qi thought she was being very accommodating, but from Little Wang’s perspective, her words came across as: “If you’ve got the money, hurry up and buy it. If you keep haggling, I’ll freaking kill you!”

On the verge of tears, Little Wang tremblingly took out his light brain and reluctantly transferred the money to Qian Qi.

Oh well, he’d just consider it a small price to avoid disaster. He didn’t want to end up like Chen Tong, saddled with a black mark from Qian Qi!

Having secured her first sale, Qian Qi was deeply moved. She handed the packet of medicine to Little Wang but couldn’t resist adding, “Classmate, I forgot to mention, the hemostatic powder is 998, and the packaging bag is 2 yuan~”

Little Wang: ???
The packaging bag costs money too?

Then why didn’t you just say it was 1000 upfront!

Fuming, Little Wang transferred another 2 yuan.

This “forced sale” behavior was too much for the principal, who had been watching her all along. He strode over and scolded, “Qian Qi! How can you deceive your classmates like this? Give the money back!”

Qian Qi glanced at the principal, then after a moment, she hesitantly called out, “Dad?”
Principal: ???
Little Wang and Su Ang both glanced at the principal.

Su Ang’s eyes showed a hint of surprise, while Little Wang felt like he had stumbled upon some earth-shattering secret.

Damn, no wonder his friend said the instructors and the principal couldn’t control Qian Qi. So Qian Qi was actually—the principal’s daughter?

The principal, who had suddenly gained a “child” out of thin air, was both angry and amused. “Who’s your dad? Why are you calling me that out of nowhere?”

“Then why are you spouting nonsense out of nowhere?” Qian Qi retorted. “What makes you think I’m deceiving people? Spreading rumors like that—even my dad wouldn’t do something so shameless!”

Principal: ???
The principal was so angry he trembled. “You’re saying you’re not deceiving people? A one-second hemostatic powder isn’t a lie?”

“I’m not lying!” Qian Qi straightened her back, refusing to take the blame. “If I’m lying, then I’m your dad!”

The principal felt like he was about to cough up blood. This brat actually wanted to climb over his head and become his dad?

“Take it easy, old man. At your age, don’t get so worked up that you collapse on my stall and try to extort money from me because I look like an easy target.” Seeing the principal sway unsteadily, Qian Qi quickly moved her little stall to the side and asked Little Wang, “Who is this guy? Do you know him?”

Little Wang: “…This is the principal.”

Qian Qi: …
Qian Qi: “Oh my~”

Qian Qi’s previously disdainful expression instantly did a 180-degree turn. She immediately grabbed the principal’s hands, her face beaming with a smile. “So it’s the principal! My apologies for not recognizing you earlier. Please, have a seat! Oh dear, I don’t even have a proper chair for you!”

Qian Qi’s face was creased with smiles, like a mother-in-law who had just met her ideal son-in-law. There was no trace of her earlier hooligan demeanor. “Principal, let me tell you, this hemostatic powder is a potion I developed through tireless research. The effects are absolutely top-notch, guaranteed genuine!”

Qian Qi couldn’t contain her excitement. This was the principal of Awakener University, a living advertisement. If she could get the principal to personally test the effects of her hemostatic powder, wouldn’t sales skyrocket instantly?
Hahaha, the heavens must be smiling on her. She had wished for a rich guinea pig, and one had actually appeared!

“Principal, let me cut you!”

Qian Qi got straight to the point, pulling out a small knife from her pocket. Her eyes gleamed like a hungry wolf’s. “Don’t worry, it’s brand new and sterilized. You definitely won’t get tetanus!”

Principal: ???
Should I thank you for being so considerate?
The principal, startled, quickly pulled his hands back from Qian Qi’s grasp and asked in a slightly alarmed voice, “Qian Qi, what are you trying to do?”

“Don’t you not believe me?” Qian Qi’s expression gradually turned into a sinister grin. “Let me cut you, then apply the hemostatic powder. You’ll see if I’m telling the truth!”

Principal: …
Principal: ???
The principal’s voice cracked with anger: “Why don’t you cut yourself??!”

Was Qian Qi treating him like a fool? Why would he use his own body to test the effects of this fake hemostatic powder?

Hearing the principal’s refusal, Qian Qi paused.

She hadn’t expected the principal to be so cowardly, unwilling to let her cut him.

Tsk, is this Awakener University even any good? The principal’s such a weakling?
