Boom!
Buck's pupils contracted as he summoned his contracted spirit, blocking the incoming rocket.
His expression was shocked and furious as he shouted, "What the hell are you doing?!"
"Uh... I said I was going to interrupt!"
Chen Shu shrugged, feigning innocence.
"???"
Buck's mouth twitched. Was he interrupting my words or my legs?
"Sorry, sorry! I was afraid my strength was insufficient, and you wouldn't listen to me!"
Chen Shu coughed and explained, "Getting back to the point! If it weren't for your illegal arrest, I wouldn't have intruded into the Alliance territory!"
"As for the nuclear bomb incident in [Blazing Plains], it was in a public area, what business is it of yours?"
For a moment, Buck and the Thunder Beast were rendered speechless.
"Since that's how it is, we'll leave first!"
Qin Tian chuckled, preparing to leave with Chen Shu and the others.
"Wait!"
The Thunder Beast sighed, knowing they were in the wrong, and could only say,
"Could you ask your academy principal to help open a space channel?"
The principal of Huaxia Academy was a King-level three-star, a renowned powerhouse globally, and it was naturally aware of this.
"We'd like to help too!"
Qin Tian sighed and said, "But our principal needs to guard the Dragon Abyss and is tied up..."
"Name your price!"
The Thunder Beast finally got to the point.
"Hmm?"
Everyone's expressions brightened, and they instantly became excited.
If you talk about this, no one will be sleepy anymore.
"..."
The Thunder Beast scratched its head, wondering if these people were truly esteemed powerhouses.
Wasn't this a pure bandit gang?
Qin Tian and the others exchanged glances, then signaled Chen Shu.
This kind of task was naturally best suited for the bandit.
Chen Shu nodded and stepped forward without hesitation.
The Thunder Beast looked at him, showing no contempt for his Silver-level rank.
As the only one present protected by a legendary contracted spirit, it even felt he carried more weight than a King-level.
"First, return my ninety billion in assets! Otherwise, I'm not saving anyone!"
As soon as he said this, Chen Shu interrupted the Thunder Beast before it could respond.
"Don't rush! I'm not finished!"
Chen Shu grinned and continued, "Secondly, a King-level is one hundred billion, Gold-level is ten billion, Silver-level is one hundred million! Black Iron-level is on the house!"
The Thunder Beast fell into thought, then slowly said after a moment,
"It's impossible to return ninety billion now. You'll have to rescue the people, and after verification, we can discuss further!"
"Deal! Then give me the rescue fee first!"
Chen Shu agreed immediately, without a hint of hesitation.
"Huh?"
The Thunder Beast scratched its head, feeling that something was a bit off.
It felt like it had bargained, yet also hadn't...
Qin Tian and the others were filled with amusement, not expecting it to go so smoothly.
The legendary Thunder Beast was indeed powerful, arguably one of the strongest on Planet Blue.
But when had it ever encountered someone who played by such unconventional rules?
Now, Qin Tian and the others were certain that the supposed ninety billion in assets was complete nonsense.
Perhaps this guy had even snatched it himself...
Qin Tian spoke up, "In three days, our King-level space contracted spirit will arrive."
"Alright!"
The Thunder Beast nodded, needing to return to [Nightmare Den] and having no extra time to waste.
What annoyed it wasn't Chen Shu and his group,
but rather the two King-level beast tamers from its own alliance.
So many people had failed to capture a single Silver-level beast tamer, and not only that, they had all been tricked by him.
Now, the alliance had to pay money to redeem them, which was a huge embarrassment!
"Sir..."
Buck's eyes showed a hint of unwillingness. Had they just backed down so easily?
"Shut up!"
The Thunder Beast gave him a cold glance and said, "As a King-level, you can't even capture a Silver-level!"
"..."
Buck's mouth twitched. I wish I could, but
he came with three King-level experts at once, no one could withstand that...
The Thunder Beast seemed to recall something and looked at Chen Shu, saying,
"I want to ask a question!"
"Consultation fee is one billion!"
Chen Shu grinned. This contracted spirit was not a Thunder Beast at all, but a walking money bag!
"???"
The Thunder Beast was stunned for a moment, then its three tails swung, crackling with terrifying lightning.
"Uh... just ask directly, ask directly!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. "Consider it a freebie from me!"
The Thunder Beast asked earnestly, "How did you close the space channel?"
There had never been a precedent for closing a space channel, it had shattered people's understanding.
If this method could be mastered, it could completely isolate hostile beasts, greatly enhancing the safety of Planet Blue.
Chen Shu spread his hands and said,
"I don't know. It was a small item given to me by a legendary beast tamer from my country. It seems to have been found in the Dragon Abyss."
He naturally wouldn't admit it was his own. He could attribute everything to the legendary elder.
Few people on Planet Blue would dare to question that elder,
and since he bore the mark of a legendary contracted spirit, he had credibility.
Furthermore, by attributing the item's origin to the Dragon Abyss, he hoped other major powers would send their experts to explore, thereby alleviating the pressure on the Dragon Abyss.
"Dragon Abyss?"
The Thunder Beast's eyes were filled with apprehension.
It had been suppressing the second most dangerous place on Planet Blue, [Devil's Den], for a long time and already felt considerable pressure.
The danger level of the first-ranked [Dragon Abyss] was naturally self-evident.
It didn't doubt Chen Shu's words and turned to head towards the direction of the Free Alliance.
Buck looked back at Chen Shu and the others. He clearly remembered being beaten earlier.
"This time, I, Buck, remember! Especially..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression jolted.
He saw Chen Shu hoisting another rocket launcher, a ferocious smile on his face...
"..."
He forcefully swallowed his words and followed the Thunder Beast, leaving this place of humiliation.
...
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu and his group boarded the Heavenly Ice Phoenix King, the mount of the Governor of Nancang, preparing to head to [Blazing Plains].
Meanwhile, Qin Tian was on the phone with the domestic authorities, clearly arranging for a King-level contracted spirit to be dispatched.
After a while, he hung up and looked at Chen Shu.
"What's up? Principal?"
Chen Shu turned his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"We'll sort things out one by one!"
Qin Tian cleared his throat and asked, "Where did you get the rocket launcher?"
"Uh... I found it in the apartment complex's trash can."
"???"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched. "You mean the terrorist apartment complex?"
"Principal, this is just a small toy, you don't need to worry too much..."
Chen Shu said. The rocket launcher came from a criminal group in Nanjiang City who wanted to kill him.
"Compared to your nuclear bomb, it is indeed just a small toy..."
Qin Tian's mouth twitched, but he didn't press further.
The destructive power of technological weapons was far less than that of beast tamers' contracted spirits, so their regulation was not as strict.
