"Today is a good day..."
Chen Shu ambled along, riding his Slime to the dormitory balcony and jumping straight in.
"No wonder Old Qin and the others like to use the balcony, it's so convenient."
Chen Shu mumbled as he walked inside. Looking at the empty dormitory, he couldn't help but sigh.
"Could it be that Ah Liang and the others are gone? They should at least give a notice for a feast."
He took a can of soda from the refrigerator and stretched out comfortably.
"Right, I should ask Old Liu about the World Championship!"
Chen Shu called Liu Feng.
However, he was informed that the various countries were still discussing the competition and the specifics would only be determined later.
He shook his head, turned, and returned to his room, starting his leisurely vacation.
Finding a job was impossible now, and never would be.
He could only scrape by with the Bronze Armband of the Imperial Dragon Guard.
Time flew by, and it was already the hot month of June.
Chen Shu stayed in his dorm day after day, waiting for information about the World Championship.
"The college entrance examination must be coming up again soon, right?"
Chen Shu lay on the sofa, thinking, "I wonder if Nanjiang City has produced any more talents..."
At this moment, the dormitory door opened, and Ah Liang and the other two walked in.
"Huh? You're back?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "You actually passed the assessment without me?"
"What kind of talk is that?"
Ah Liang pouted and said, "The three of us have undergone fundamental growth!"
"I don't see it!"
Chen Shu shook his head, but his eyes showed a bit of surprise.
The Beast Taming power within the three of them had reached its peak, and they could break through to Silver level at any time.
However, due to the World Championship, their levels could only be restricted to Bronze level.
They were now almost fourth-year students. Yu Yi and others in their year had already become Silver level, so it wasn't surprising for Ah Liang and the others to break through.
"We originally thought that reaching the top sixteen would be a success!"
Ah Liang said firmly, "But now, we are confident of getting... fifteenth place!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he nodded, saying, "That is truly fundamental progress!"
"By the way, did you bring me any local specialties? For example, any King-tier materials, True Treasures of the Royal level, or something like that."
"Are you dreaming?"
Ah Liang's eyes were filled with black lines. "Is this something we can get our hands on?"
"However, we did bring you a gift!"
Saying that, the Spatial Bird on Wang Jue's shoulder's eyes flashed, and it spat out a white... urea bag.
"???"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "You're giving me this? I'll never use this in my life!"
"Of course, it's not an ordinary urea bag!"
Ah Liang smiled, pointed at the bag, and said, "It has the personal signature of the Nanjiang Bandit on it!"
Chen Shu turned to look and indeed saw a line of handwriting on it:
Nanjiang hanfei!
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched and he said,
"You bought a counterfeit product from Old Xie, didn't you? Only he's a dropout from the nine-year compulsory education."
"But it looks quite realistic, and it perfectly matches your level of culture."
"Stop it!"
Chen Shu still put away the urea bag and hung it on the living room wall.
"Actually, this is the real specialty we brought back!"
Ah Liang smiled, and a mass of flesh and blood appeared on the ground again, emitting a delicate fragrance.
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's expression trembled, his nose twitched, and he exclaimed,
"Bronze Three Star King's flesh and blood, a flying-type contracted spirit, fire attribute..."
"Stop! Stop! Stop!"
Ah Liang made a stopping gesture and said, "You can smell that just by sniffing it?"
"Uh... talent... talent."
Chen Shu quickly summoned his Spatial Rabbit.
"Whoosh~~"
The Spatial Rabbit's eyes lit up, and it pounced directly like a fierce rabbit.
However, Chen Shu caught it by the neck. It flapped its legs, its eyes filled with confusion.
"You'd better not eat it!"
Chen Shu directly ordered it to spit out various pots and pans, preparing to cook the mass of flesh and blood.
The Spatial Rabbit's innate weapon had evolved many times.
For it to evolve again now, it would require flesh and blood of a Beast Emperor level. It was a waste to use Bronze level flesh and blood.
An hour later,
The four of them sat on the balcony, enjoying a fierce beast hot pot. The rich aroma spread, making people in the other dorms swallow hard.
"Ah Liang, you guys are amazing!"
Chen Shu licked his lips, his eyes showing a hint of surprise.
Hunting a Bronze King would require at least a fully equipped Silver Beast Taming team, and that's without considering the countless fierce beast minions.
But Ah Liang and the other two were only at Bronze level, yet they managed to hunt it successfully, which was truly incredible.
"A mere Bronze level King, I actually heavily injured it by myself!"
Ah Liang's expression was calm, his eyes filled with confidence.
"Really?"
Chen Shu's gaze became extremely suspicious.
He didn't believe anyone could improve so quickly. Did they really think everyone had a cheat?
"At that time, you didn't see..."
Ah Liang cleared his throat and began to brag randomly...
"Alright! Alright!"
In the end, even Wang Jue couldn't listen anymore, and the key was that this guy only bragged about himself.
Xu Xingxing spoke up to explain, "Uh... the assessment, of course, wasn't a normal hunt. There were strong individuals suppressing it from the side."
"I knew it."
Chen Shu pouted, looking like it was indeed as he suspected.
"That's still pretty strong, isn't it?"
Ah Liang picked up a piece of beast meat and mumbled, "Although there were people suppressing it, the three of us were the main force."
Wang Jue ignored Ah Liang and said,
"By the way, Chen Pi, have you been arrested during this time?"
"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. What kind of question was that?
"Sorry, I don't understand what you're saying!"
He calmly took out a Bronze Armband, even showing it off in front of the three.
"Did you rob the Imperial Dragon Guard?"
The three of them were startled and instinctively moved away. This was no small matter.
As Chen Shu's close friends, their first instinct was to... distance themselves!
"Are you slandering me?"
Chen Shu glared at the three of them and said,
"The official gave it to me! And it was personally issued by the Commander-in-Chief of the Spirit Suppressing Army! Do you understand the significance?"
"You? An Imperial Dragon Guard?"
The three of them had extremely strange expressions, finding it hard to accept for a moment.
Ah Liang said, "Has this world gone crazy? Can a mouse turn into a cat..."
"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"
Chen Shu's expression turned serious, and he said, "I've said it long ago, I'm a righteous person!"
