"No ti like the present, let’s make it tomorrow then." Qian Qi quickly set the date, then pointed at the snacks on the table with a cheeky grin and said, "Principal, you’re getting on in years, your teeth aren’t great, you should eat less junk food. Can I take these?"
Principal: ...
Take them, take them! I hope you choke on them, you stingy brat!
After Qian Qi left, the principal, who hadn’t achieved his goal, felt a little lost. He paced around the principal’s office twice and finally couldn’t help but ask Su Ang, "Are you really going to take her to so entertainnt venue?"
Su Ang glanced at the principal with a faint look, "There are no entertainnt venues in Song City."
Principal: "..."
Qian Qi, who was eavesdropping at the door: "..."
"As expected, the more handso a man is, the more cunning he is!" Having returned once more, Qian Qi wrinkled her little nose, tiptoed away softly, and then snorted coldly, "Hmph, n, I really want to see what tricks you’re planning."
System: [...]
You’re really getting on my nerves, thank you.
[Let’s not talk about this. Where’s my check?] The system had been waiting for her all day, but didn’t see her feed it a check, so it kindly reminded her.
"Oh, right!" Qian Qi slapped her forehead, hurried to the supermarket to buy a stack of draft paper and a pen, then squatted by the sidewalk to start drawing checks for the system.
System: ...
The system gave Qian Qi a solid whack on the back of the head. [Qian Qi! How dare you trick !!!]
"You only said to eat the checks, you didn’t say they had to be cashable." Qian Qi looked innocent, "And besides..."
She hugged her head, pointing at the system. "Do you know why I tricked you? Because you tricked first, you hurt my young heart and my trust in you!"
[When did I trick you?] The system’s attention was instantly diverted by Qian Qi, and it vowed to defend its honest reputation. [Not possible, I never lie—]
The words on the system panel stopped abruptly, and it suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
Wait a minute, could it be?
Seeing the system realize it, Qian Qi imdiately buried her head, and spoke in a tone that sounded extrely aggrieved, "That ti, for 2 million, you said you would send a little gift, and what was the result? I didn’t even see a hair..."
"I, such a stingy person, endured for so long and didn’t ask you for it..." Her voice grew quieter, even accompanied by a few sniffles, "I think the esteed, great, all-knowing, and omnipotent system surely didn’t forget on purpose. Maybe it’ll rember tomorrow? Maybe the day after? Maybe the day after that?"
"After all, how could such a noble and mighty system forget this matter? It surely wouldn’t think that I forgot and purposely not remind , not intending to give it to , right?" Qian Qi quickly glanced at the system and then buried her head again, wiping away the "tears" of grievance from the corners of her eyes.
System: ...
"The system lord surely didn’t do it on purpose." Qian Qi added.
System: [I...]
Qian Qi: "It surely will compensate , after all, it’s been 9 days, 5 hours..."
Qian Qi looked at the Light Brain ti and continued, "...28 minutes and 32 seconds, the system lord surely would be willing to compensate a little more for its delay~"
System: ...
System: ???
Wait, what? You even rember the seconds?
Did you "intentionally" not remind I forgot the gift, so you could "intentionally" use this to ask for more compensation from ?!
It just knew it! Such a stingy person like Qian Qi, how could she not have asked for the gift, she had set a trap for it!
Of course, the system didn’t intend to steal the gift from Qian Qi, it just wanted to wait for Qian Qi to ask on her own, so it could show off in front of her and reinforce its status.
But it never expected that Qian Qi had such a shrewd mind and would seize the opportunity to exploit even this.
"System lord..." Qian Qi blinked, holding two fingers apart to asure a distance, "The trust between us... is already this far."
"But if you’re willing to compensate ..." Qian Qi pinched the two fingers tightly together and smiled brightly, "it will beco exceptionally close."
System: ...
It regretted it, if it had known it would bind with this rascal, it should have just rejected "Qian Qi" originally.
[The gift is a free C-level Magic Potion formula.] The system panel displayed. It gave this gift not out of generosity, but to urge Qian Qi to quickly beco a C-level strong person so she could make the C-level Magic Potion formula, earn more money, and buy more knowledge.
"And the compensation?" Qian Qi was quite satisfied with the gift, but right now, she was more concerned about what compensation the system would offer.
[Ha, compensation?]
For so reason, Qian Qi felt like the system was gnashing its teeth.
[The compensation is I won’t eat the checks, and today I’ll give you a free guide!] The system lifted its panel, angrily aiming at Qian Qi’s head again!
[Compensation, compensation, I’ll give you compensation! That’s all you know, compensation!]
Qian Qi bolted, "Peh! Cheapskate dog system! If you can’t play, then don’t ss around!"
System: ???
When you want compensation you call it system lord, but after you get it, it’s back to being a cheapskate dog system?
Fickle dog woman! One day it will take her down with it! It swears!!!
——
The next day, after Qian Qi finished guiding the students on their Magic Plant howork, she arrived at the school gate at the agreed ti.
Not seeing Su Ang’s figure at the gate, she looked around and spotted a deep black, six-seater hovercar parked in front of her.
"Get in."
In the hovercar, Su Ang sat upright in the back seat, dressed in a light black, slim-fitting spring-autumn suit, with a clean white shirt matched with a pure black tie, the sa color as the windbreaker, and silver, shimring strands of hair slightly draping over his white forehead, making him appear both formal and aloof.
Qian Qi crawled into the car, finding that besides the driver’s seat and the passenger seat, the back had four seats facing each other, and Su Ang’s usual black windbreaker was neatly folded on the seat beside him, without a single wrinkle showing.
Qian Qi silently sat opposite Su Ang, glancing at this hovercar, noticing it was far more spacious and upscale than the principal’s hovercar, equipped not only with a smart coffee table and electronic bookstore, but also a Light Brain projection device.
"Drive." Su Ang calmly ordered, and the driver in front responded and started the hovercar.
Qian Qi curiously turned her head and asked, "Aren’t hovercars equipped with autopilot? Why have a driver?"
She rembered the principal used autopilot last ti.
Su Ang glanced at Qian Qi with an unmoved expression, "I don’t trust autopilot."
Qian Qi stroked her chin, "What a coincidence, I don’t trust drivers."
Su Ang: "..."
This was indeed a topic Su Ang couldn’t continue. He turned to look out the window, saying faintly, "There is still so ti until we reach Song City, and there are quite a few aerial instances in the troposphere for you to enjoy watching."
The use of the word "enjoy" was rather clever, Qian Qi blinked and turned to look outside, finding that there were indeed so black instances in the sky, which seed like fierce, ferocious beasts with gaping mouths ready to swallow hapless travelers who lost their way...
Or birds.
Qian Qi watched with wide eyes as a poor little bird flew into an instance.
Qian Qi: !!!
Qian Qi suddenly leaned against the car window, tears of sorrow streaming from the corners of her mouth, "Damn instances... to even swallow such a cute little bird!"
[Didn’t expect you to be soone who cherishes life?]
"Not at all..." Qian Qi wiped her mouth, enviously saying, "That was a stray duck, its at is very tender and juicy — damn! Who knows which lucky beast gets to enjoy it!"
System: ...
Damn hovercar, couldn’t you crash and kill Qian Qi already!!!
