Seeing that Han Tian and the others all had expressions of wanting to speak but hesitating, looking like they wanted to refuse, Qian Qi sighed regretfully.

“Don’t these people understand that wealth comes from taking risks? What if I’m a hidden genius?” Qian Qi thought, frustrated. “High risk, high reward. If only they were braver, they’d realize what a great opportunity they’re missing!”

The blue panel looked down at her thin legs: [I don’t see anything great about them.]

Qian Qi waved the blue panel away in annoyance and turned back to Han Tian with a kind smile. “By the way, Han Tian, since you’re done with your experimental plot, could you lend it to me for a month?”

Han Tian didn’t know what she wanted the plot for, but he just wanted to end the conversation with Qian Qi as quickly as possible, so he nodded immediately. “Sure, you can have it for two months.”

Qian Qi’s eyes lit up. She had indeed chosen the right person. This Han Tian looked weak and frail, very easy to bully—no, very kind and generous. He was definitely willing to lend her his unused experimental plot.

Silently crossing Han Tian’s name off her list, Qian Qi walked over to the next classmate with a “friendly” smile.

“Hey~ I heard you haven’t been doing much farming lately~?”

The next classmate: …

“Stay away from me!!!”

This day undoubtedly became a nightmare for the students of the Magic Plant 101 class.

All because that lunatic Qian Qi had snatched away their precious experimental plots!

Even though they weren’t using them at the moment, that didn’t stop them from hating this despicable Land Snatcher!

Qian Qi had no idea she had gained a new title. After successfully “borrowing” seven experimental plots, the class bell rang. She licked her lips, still unsatisfied, and sat down in the front row of the classroom.

These experimental plots would be enough for her for now. Next, she needed to focus on cultivating these Magic plants.

Qian Qi herself didn’t have any grand ambitions. Right now, she just wanted to make some money, apply for Magic plant cultivation rights after graduation, buy some land, open a factory, produce hemostatic potions, become wealthy, and finally retire to a sweet, honey-like life.

“One Three-Scale Orchid can mature in seven days, and other Magic plants take at most fifteen days to mature. I can probably make about 2kg of hemostatic potion, selling 10g bags for 998 yuan each. That’s nearly 200,000 yuan. If I could lease ten acres of land… hehehe~”

After doing the math, Qian Qi couldn’t help but let out a sly laugh. She could almost imagine her rich and blissful retirement life just around the corner!

On the podium, the teacher, who was about to start the lecture, noticed Qian Qi, who usually skipped class, suddenly attending. She was just about to wonder why when she saw Qian Qi’s face twist into a sinister smile.

The teacher couldn’t help but shiver and quickly looked away.

What evil scheme was this campus troublemaker plotting now?

…

After class, Qian Qi picked up her textbook and looked around the classroom for her dear lunch companion, only to find that Chen Miaomiao had already slipped away before class ended.

She sighed regretfully. It seemed she wouldn’t be able to mooch off her for lunch today.

After buying two big buns from the cafeteria, Qian Qi headed straight to the back mountain to start her grand project.

Using her analytical skills to examine the information of three seeds, she planted them according to the procedure and then took out her light brain to record the planting report.

“Plants from another world that can kill people… how fascinating,” Qian Qi mused after finishing her notes. She glanced at the Magic plants grown by the seniors in the distance. Most of them were over two meters tall, some even reaching three meters. Their thick, rough leaves, covered in sharp thorns and shark-like teeth, made her marvel at the wonders of otherworldly species.

“There must be even more astonishing species in those dungeons,” Qian Qi thought to herself. Unfortunately, whether in her past life or this one, she had only ever wanted a stable, wealthy life and had no intention of venturing into those dangerous dungeons.

Let the awakened ones handle protecting the world by hunting monsters~

As for her, she just needed to provide the awakened ones with some affordable, high-quality hemostatic potions~

Picking up a small stool, Qian Qi sat down and lazily opened her textbook. The midday sun was scorching, making even the giant Magic plants look a bit wilted. However, the girl, in high spirits, was fully absorbed in her studies, occasionally taking a bite of her bun, thoroughly enjoying her learning.

At 2:45 PM, Qian Qi closed her book and prepared to water the Fire Qilin Lotus in Li Shuyun’s experimental plot for the second time.

Coincidentally, Li Shuyun was also there. When she saw Qian Qi, she instinctively stiffened, regretting her choice of timing to come up the mountain.

“Senior Li~” Unlike Li Shuyun’s discomfort, Qian Qi was delighted to see her and smiled warmly. “Are you here to record the growth report of the magic plants?”

“Yes, I am,” Li Shuyun replied stiffly. “What about you, Junior Qian?”

“I’m here to water the Fire Qilin Lotus.”

Qian Qi smiled and opened the bag of urea next to the experimental plot, starting to mix the urea with water in the right proportions. Li Shuyun, watching her skilled movements, couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

She had heard that Qian Qi was a poor student who knew nothing about planting, but seeing her so adept at measuring and mixing, it didn’t seem like something a poor student could do.

However… Li Shuyun couldn’t help but say, “Junior Qian, the first step in planting Fire Qilin Lotus should be to mix 2kg of nitrogen-potassium compound fertilizer to improve the soil’s fertility…”

Qian Qi looked up at her, and Li Shuyun immediately fell silent, regretting her words. What if Qian Qi thought she was mocking her for being a poor student?

But to Li Shuyun’s surprise, Qian Qi simply smiled and said, “I know, but I want to try a different planting method.”

A different method?

Li Shuyun was confused. The planting method for Fire Qilin Lotus in the textbook was the result of years of research by numerous Magic plant researchers, deemed the “most likely way to yield Fire Qilin Fruit.”

How could Qian Qi, a freshman at the bottom of her class, have discovered a more effective planting method?

Li Shuyun wanted to advise Qian Qi not to waste her time, but seeing Qian Qi’s confident expression, she bit her lip and ultimately said nothing.

Better not meddle. It’s rare for this junior to show such enthusiasm for learning.

Of course, she was mainly afraid of getting beaten for speaking out of turn.

After Li Shuyun left, Qian Qi wandered around the back mountain. Simply reading from the textbook was a bit dull, so she preferred to combine theory with practice. Naturally, the first plants she observed were those used in the hemostatic potion formula.

Many students happened to be growing these plants in the back mountain, which provided Qian Qi with a lot of convenience. After a busy afternoon, Qian Qi went down the mountain for dinner and then returned to tend to her plots.

At 10:45 PM, after watering the Fire Qilin Lotus for the third time and recording the soil data, she finally descended the mountain under the starlight.

…

Early the next morning, as Chen Miaomiao quietly got up in the dark, Qian Qi suddenly opened her eyes and turned to her with a grin. “Miaomiao, up so early? Why didn’t you call me for breakfast?”

Chen Miaomiao: !!!

Chen Miaomiao was so startled that she hit her head on the upper bunk’s metal bar, her face scrunching up in pain.

Damn it, this lunatic Qian Qi must have been waiting for her to get up!

I really want to beat her to death!

But seeing Qian Qi’s teasing smile, Chen Miaomiao was too scared to do anything. She could only grit her teeth and force a smile, her voice squeezing through her clenched teeth. “No, I was just about to call you.”

Qian Qi: Please be brave, I’m really not scary, hehe.
