Chen Shu ignored Ji Feng’s reaction and continued,
“A Liang, you still want king-level treasures? Aren’t you making things difficult for people?”
“……”
A Liang’s mouth twitched. Knowing the notorious bandit, he understood. At this moment, he could only lament,
You’re truly a talent!
“Alright! These are Duoli from the Free Alliance and Bulin from the Immortal Kingdom.”
Qin Tian’s expression also trembled. He pointed at the other two and said,
“Let’s rest for a while. We’re a bit tired.”
With that, he forcibly led Chen Shu and the others away from that spot and headed straight for the eastern side of the island.
“No, Principal, I wasn’t finished speaking!”
“Nonsense!”
The group rode their contracted spirits and left the area…
“This kid…”
An Dong’s expression was strange. He finally understood Chen Shu’s meaning. He was asking for a welcome gift!
…
To the east of Origin Island, there were rows of buildings in the Hua Kingdom style.
Qin Tian recalled his contracted spirits and then looked at Chen Shu,
“What are you trying to do? We’re here for a competition, not to ask for bicycles!”
Chen Shu drooped his head and muttered, “There’s no conflict…”
Bang!
Qin Tian directly gave him a rap on the head and said, “Asking for a welcome gift at the start, can’t you be a little more reserved?”
“It wasn’t me asking, it was Ji Feng and A Liang. I’ve already criticized them!”
“???”
Ji Feng and A Liang exchanged glances and couldn’t help but have their eye corners twitch. Encountering such a notorious bandit, they could only bear it silently.
“I can see through your little tricks, can’t I?”
Qin Tian glared at him and said, “From now on, stay in your room and don’t come out again!”
“Principal, I still want to explore Origin Island…”
Chen Shu’s eyes held a pleading look as he quickly said,
“These five days have been too torturous, and there weren’t any entertainment facilities. I’m so bored my stomach hurts.”
“You dare to say that again?!”
Qin Tian glared at him. He had originally thought they would arrive on the second day,
But he was wrong, terribly wrong…
Not only had the Night Organization made a move, but all the other major criminal organizations had also targeted Chen Shu. Even king-level contracted spirits had attacked!
Only now did he understand Chen Shu’s influence…
According to Qin Tian’s estimation, most of the criminal organizations in the world had probably gathered here.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been delayed for a full five days.
“Kid, tell me the truth!”
Qin Tian looked at him and said with a serious expression, “Did you dig up their ancestral graves?!”
“……”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched, and he then said, “Principal, with so many people, am I supposed to dig them up one by one!”
“It’s obvious that most people are after the bounty…”
He stroked his chin, estimating that his bounty in the criminal world had surpassed that of golden beast tamers, otherwise, it wouldn’t have attracted so many people.
In fact, he still underestimated himself…
Three criminal organizations had jointly offered a bounty for Chen Shu’s life, an amount comparable to that of an ordinary king-level expert!
Unknowingly, he had set another record…
“Alas, there’s nothing to be done.”
Chen Shu shook his head and said, “As a positive figure, being targeted by villains is a normal situation.”
“……”
Everyone was speechless. The problem was, you’re not exactly a positive figure yourself…
Qin Tian said, “Alright! Everyone go back! Conserve your energy and prepare to welcome the World Competition!”
Everyone nodded and each chose a small building to enter.
…
Time flew by quickly, and it was soon June 30th.
“Chen Pi, it’s time to come out for the draw!”
Chen Shu was comfortably lying in bed when Qin Tian’s voice woke him up.
“Drawing lots so early in the morning…”
Chen Shu mumbled and then buried his head back in the pillow to sleep.
A moment later, Liu Feng walked in and looked at Chen Shu in the quilt.
“Hurry up, today is for drawing lots to determine tomorrow’s opponents!”
“Can’t we draw in the afternoon?”
Chen Shu grumbled discontentedly, “I’m too sleepy. I was studying until late last night.”
“Studying?”
Liu Feng was slightly taken aback and said, “Doesn’t it feel rather incongruous for those words to come out of your mouth?”
“I was really studying, researching the competition rules the entire time.”
“What are you researching this for?”
“To find some loopholes and see if I can directly win the championship!”
“……”
Liu Feng’s mouth twitched. You really dare to dream!
“Hurry up and get up. Even if there are massive loopholes, you need to get up and draw lots first!”
“I won’t get up, even if you beat me to death!”
Chen Shu directly covered himself with the quilt, choosing to give up.
Liu Feng sighed and said, “Then I’ll beat you to death!”
“???”
Chen Shu jolted and instantly sprang up…
Five minutes later, the group had gathered on the open space in front of the dormitory.
“This will be broadcast globally today, so pay attention to your image.”
Qin Tian looked at the group below and said, “Remember! You don’t just represent yourselves!”
“No problem! We’ll pay attention!”
Chen Shu replied loudly, standing with a straight posture, a kind and sunny smile on his face.
Qin Tian turned his head and looked over, saying, “Then can you put away the rocket launcher first?”
“……”
Everyone looked over, even feeling that today’s drawing ceremony wouldn’t be peaceful…
Half an hour later,
The group arrived at the center of Origin Island, where a giant competition stage stood. Surrounding it were various mechanical flying insects, broadcasting globally.
Nearly ten billion viewers were paying attention to this moment!
“Go to your contestant waiting room first!”
Qin Tian pointed to a door beneath the competition stage, signaling Chen Shu and the others to enter.
“Is the bottom empty?”
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows and looked at the competition stage ahead.
He took the lead, pushed open the door, and stepped onto a passage, immediately seeing the contestant waiting room ahead.
A Liang and the others followed closely.
At this moment, there were over a hundred people in the contestant waiting room, all excitedly waiting for the draw.
Clang!
The door was pushed open, and Chen Shu’s group walked in.
Instantly, over a hundred pairs of eyes turned towards them, especially focusing on Chen Shu at the forefront.
Generally speaking, the first to arrive were the top geniuses of their respective countries.
“Hello everyone! Hello everyone!”
Chen Shu grinned, completely unfazed by their gazes, and walked past the crowd towards the interior.
“Is this the extent of Hua Kingdom’s geniuses?”
A young man’s voice rang out, saying, “I heard that Hua Kingdom produced some notorious bandit. Truly, when the tiger is not in the mountains, the monkey reigns supreme.”
The waiting room instantly fell silent.
Everyone looked at Chen Shu and his group, their eyes filled with mockery, as if watching a spectacle.
Takahashi Ichisuke from the Sakura Kingdom even fanned the flames, saying,
“Buddy, this is outright provocation. Aren’t you going to retaliate?”
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu turned to look at the young man and said, “May I ask who you are?”
The young man calmly replied, “Jack from the Free Alliance!”
“From the Knarl family?”
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows, and immediately remembered. It was the family that had a grievance with Liu Feng.
Because Liu Feng wanted revenge, he had investigated the Knarl family’s information after returning to his country.
The other party was the grandson of Chief Buck!
He let out a soft laugh and simultaneously opened his combat bag, muttering to himself,
“After dealing with the elder, now the younger one comes?”
