Rags to Riches: The Rise of a Dual-Talent Prodigy-Chapter 468 - 462: Hell’s Cold Jokes

Qian Qi looked at her with a smile, "What’s wrong?"

Yan Shuiyue quickly shook her head, suppressing the shock in her heart.

At this moment, although she didn’t know exactly what Qian Qi wanted to do, she had to admit that from the occurrence of the Magic Locust Tide until now, in just over ten minutes, Qian Qi had already thought of a way to tackle the tide, and even precisely found the instance in Song City where the flow was fast, planting Green Honey Bamboo...

Clever and decisive, making her once again cognizant of the gap between them.

Compared to herself and Leng Yuntian who would just inform elders and rush to save people recklessly, Qian Qi had long surpassed this impulsive response, knowing how to truly solve the problem.

And this is precisely the ability that an upper echelon should possess. Qian Qi isn’t in the upper echelon, yet she has such ability, while she is but lacks this ability, causing Yan Shuiyue to feel deeply ashamed.

It also changed Yan Shuiyue’s mindset; she no longer viewed Qian Qi as someone’s girlfriend or a shocking prodigy, but truly regarded Qian Qi as a teacher, wanting to learn her cool and decisiveness, wisdom as uncanny.

She couldn’t remain in her comfort zone, thinking that contracting an A-level Magical Beast made her one of the superior beings among humans.

"Teacher Qian, how do you plan to use the Green Honey Bamboo to deal with the Magic Locust Tide?" Yan Shuiyue lowered her head, humbly asking.

The Magic Locust Tide has always been a difficult challenge for humans to overcome, and she was genuinely too curious about how Qian Qi planned to solve this problem.

Qian Qi did not mind the change in how Yan Shuiyue addressed her, she turned to look at the Green Honey Bamboo she planted, a fleeting insidious smile flashed across her lips, making Yan Shuiyue almost believe it was an illusion.

"This method~ isn’t very humane~"

"Go and wake up Leng Yuntian." Qian Qi commanded, "Also, get the person in the car out, we need to speed up the gathering of Magic Honey!"

...

There weren’t just Qian Qi and the others in this instance.

During these few days in the instance, Qian Qi had Er Ya travel around the whole instance, bringing all the hunters from the Awakener university to work for her.

Though the number wasn’t large, it was still some manpower. Knowing that the Magic Locust Tide had appeared outside, these Awakened were very willing to help Qian Qi collect Magic Honey, contributing their strength.

Once they gathered enough Magic Honey from the Green Honey Bamboo forest, Er Ya, full of reluctance, spat out the shiny things from its belly, swallowing the Magic Honey from the stone barrel into its stomach space.

Qian Qi explained the method to solve the Magic Locust Tide to everyone, and upon hearing the answer, everyone widened their eyes, astonished by such a method for tackling the Magic Locust Tide.

Simply... shameless!

"Alright, let’s head out now!"

Before leaving the instance, Qian Qi applied a layer of black unknown substance on Yan Shuiyue and Leng Yuntian, while everyone helped drag the hovercar smeared with Magic Honey to the instance’s entrance.

Outside at that moment, only two seconds had passed, the distant Magic Locust Tide was still visible, as it was busy gnawing at buildings, they were spreading slowly steadily towards the surroundings.

Qian Qi whistled, and then saw the towering Er Ya spread its wings, sweeping towards the direction of the Magic Locust Tide at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Er Ya flew high, the cold winds in the high skies were not a concern for the A-level Flying Magical Beast, and along its flashing path, only to see golden yellow mixed with blood-red thick liquid like a rain curtain, splattering onto the Demon Locusts below! 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The overly sweet aroma immediately captivated the surrounding Demon Locusts, the tantalized worms made the Demon Locusts disregard whether the other was a kind, immediately changing direction towards the source of the aroma!

Originally parallel flying Magic Locust Tide, Demon Locusts on both sides suddenly moved like rolling paper, surging towards the middle, completely engulfing the Magic Locust Tide drenched in Magic Honey!

The Green Honey Bamboo, demonized by the Divine Hand, produced Magic Honey not only multiplied in yield, but its fragrance was also more intense, and a bit could drive greedy Magical Beasts insane.

Especially, this Magic Honey was mixed with the blood of those Magical Beasts attracted by Magic Honey from the instance, the blend of blood aroma and sweet aroma was indeed tastier than human blood and reinforced concrete, rendering the Magic Locust Tide insatiable!

In a low-profile hovercar, a reporter risking their life broadcasting the live situation, was shocked seeing this: "What on earth happened? The Magic Locust Tide is eating its kind?"

The entire nation was watching this disaster play out, seeing the reporter’s live footage, were equally astounded.

In the principal’s meeting room at Awakener University, the Family Heads deciding how to deal with the Magic Locust Tide also witnessed this scene.

"Are they so hungry they’re eating their own?" He Family Master exclaimed.

"Who made a move?" Ye Family Master pondered, "Could it be a Spiritual Awakened?"

As the camera zoomed in gradually, the reporter slowed the frame rate, only then did everyone surprisingly discover a Flying Magical Beast flying and spitting something unknown, while the unknown substance surprisingly caused the Demon Locusts to madly devour their own kind.

"Isn’t that Little Qian’s Contracted Beast?" Sikong Lin immediately recognized Er Ya, not because he had good eyes, but because Er Ya still donned a long golden chain around its neck, it’s hard not to recognize it!

"Mm, I received the news that Little Qian and Su Ang are just in Song City." Principal Zheng nodded, "It seems it’s them taking action."

He Family Master was suddenly relieved, "Su Ang is Double S-level, surely he can solve the Magic Locust Tide, right?"

Su Xingchen glanced at He Yao Bai lightly, "I’m quite curious too, the last Magic Locust disaster was calmed by an S-level Fire Element Awakener self-destructing, I’m unsure if an S-Class Spiritual Power User’s self-destruction can achieve the same result."

He Yao Bai immediately gave a dry laugh.

This hell of a cold joke, when told by the actual parent, was especially embarrassing.

"Currently, the method in the live stream only delays the Magic Locust Tide’s spread, surely the Flying Magical Beast will eventually run out of stuff in its stomach."

The key issue is, Su Xingchen could subtly tell, there is likely a mix of Magical Beast blood in the golden Magic Honey, although Qian Qi’s method can make the Magic Locust Tide devour their own, once the Magic Honey runs out, the honey mixed with blood would instead provide the Demon Locusts with ample nutrients, spawning more Demon Locusts.

To completely resolve the Magic Locust Tide, during this period, she must think of a method to eliminate the Magic Locust Tide in one shot.

Can she... achieve this?

Just as Su Xingchen anticipated, Er Ya’s stomach finally ran out of Magic Honey.

The Demon Locusts, having fed and quenched, immediately refocused on humans, and offspring reproduction.

At the entrance of the instance, Qian Qi and Xi Pingzhe emerged from the stone barrels filled with Magic Honey.
