Chen Shu! Fang Ke said angrily, reprimanding him.
Pretend I didn't say anything, teacher, please continue.
Chen Shu fell silent and turned to exchange historical knowledge with Teacher Yan.
Fang Ke sighed, feeling as though the anger in his heart had dissipated considerably. He sighed again and continued.
All three of you have a chance. There are still twenty days until the final exams, and your academic scores are not a problem at all. The only issue is the Beast Taming department.
During this period, try to acquire more potions. If you have the financial means, you can check the black market for Beast Taming Orbs.
There is only one shop in the entire Nanjiang City qualified to sell Beast Taming Orbs.
The power behind it is naturally the official government, but the price is extremely high, and the supply is insufficient, making it impossible to buy.
Fang Ke could only hope they would get lucky in the black market, as anything could appear there.
With a few more points in the Beast Taming department, their rankings would rise significantly.
Wang Meng and Li Zixuan nodded, determined to have their families help them purchase potions.
Although this was a considerable expense, both their families were relatively well-off and could still manage for the time being.
It wasn't just the three of them; the top-ranking students would also be pushing themselves to their limits, hoping to make a stunning appearance in the final exams and secure a spot in the senior high special training class.
Xia Bing, however, appeared troubled and remained silent.
Xia Bing, do you have any problems?
Fang Ke asked with concern, as the top student in the class was naturally a focus of attention.
Xia Bing shook her head and didn't say much more.
Alright, all of you have the potential to enter the senior high special training class. I have high hopes for you all, Teacher Fang said, not probing further and letting the three return to the classroom.
Chen Shu had also finished his conversation with the history teacher, and seeing Teacher Yan's satisfied expression, he had clearly convinced him.
Teacher Fang, don't you have high hopes for me? Chen Shu asked.
Just maintain your ranking.
Fang Ke shook his head, then suddenly recalled something.
Don't be too embarrassing in the final exams. The school leaders were very angry about this year's college entrance exam failure, and they might crack down on underperforming students, possibly sending you back to a regular class to avoid lowering the Beast Taming class's admission rate.
Got it. Chen Shu waved his hand and returned to the classroom.
Being at the bottom? Impossible to be at the bottom again in this lifetime.
Chen Shu returned to the classroom and began to process the additional beast-taming material knowledge in his mind.
The various precious materials originated from interdimensional spaces, and their appearances, characteristics, growth environments, effects, and so on, all appeared in his mind.
This world is even more magical than I imagined.
The various precious materials and spiritual herbs in his mind opened his eyes. This was just high school knowledge.
Soon, the school bell rang, and Chen Shu stretched, preparing to go home and rest.
Chen Pi!
Zhang Dali, who was outside the door, walked in.
Aren't you going to evening study? Chen Shu asked with a look of confusion. Students in regular classes all had evening study.
Not going. I'm too hungry. Treat me to dinner tonight. Zhang Dali said.
Perfect, let's go.
Chen Shu still had the 100,000 yuan reward from the Spirit Suppression Bureau, which he had kept in his bag.
The two slung their arms around each other and left the school, heading for the snack street in Nanjiang City.
After eating and drinking, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
Let's head back.
The two happily rode their bicycles, preparing to return to their residential complex.
As they passed a shop called "Beast Taming Home," Chen Shu suddenly stopped.
These kinds of shops existed in almost every city, their main purpose being to tailor growth routes for contracted spirits, determining suitable diets and potions to maximize their abilities.
The staff within were called beast tamers, and the fees were not low, with only wealthy families coming for consultations.
Not far from the shop, several people were gathered.
Two men in black suits had cornered a beautiful girl.
Miss Wang, when can you repay what you owe us? one of the men said, crossing his arms and speaking with an unfriendly tone.
Wang Qinghan remained silent. She owed them a hundred thousand yuan, and it was only right to repay debts.
I don't have that much right now, but I'll be able to pay it all back soon.
Just then, a little girl carrying a schoolbag ran over.
Sister, I've finished all my homework, when are we going home?
The girl was about ten years old, looking delicate and carved like a jewel, extremely cute.
Wang Qinghan was an intern at Beast Taming Home. Her salary was not low, but to have her sister undergo an awakening ritual, she had spent all her savings and incurred external debt.
The price of an awakening ritual was expensive, and even the lowest-tier ritual was unaffordable for ordinary people.
The purpose of the ritual was singular: to increase the probability of awakening a contracted spirit with high potential.
The eyes of the two men fell on the girl behind Xia Bing.
The little girl is quite cute, she's your sister, right?
The man reached out to stroke the little girl's head but was blocked by Wang Qinghan.
This has nothing to do with her. Don't even think about touching my sister, Wang Qinghan threatened with a cold expression.
Now you're scared?
The man's expression turned unpleasant, and he said fiercely.
If you don't repay the money, I'll erase all of your sister's homework with an eraser.
Wang Qinghan's expression faltered: ???
You two useless fools.
Not far away, a man with a crew cut under a tree was smoking, muttering curses.
He walked over and smacked the two men hard on the head.
Truly useless, can't even collect debts.
The crew-cut man cursed and turned to look at Wang Qinghan.
Now, including the interest, it's a total of two hundred thousand yuan. I expect to see thirty thousand yuan each month. You are an employee of Beast Taming Home, and your monthly salary is at least thirty thousand. The man said, unequivocally.
From a distance, Chen Shu and Zhang Dali parked their shared bicycles.
Options had already appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Cover your eyes and walk past, muttering: I didn't see it, I didn't see it. Completion Reward: Skill Book: Violent Sitting Kill]
[Option Two: Take decisive action to help the woman escape her predicament. Completion Reward: Moderate amount of Beast Taming Power]
[Option Three: Join the evil forces and force the woman to repay the debt. Completion Reward: Title: Corrupted, Wearer Effect: The contracted spirit's personality turns evil and cruel]
Chen Shu's expression faltered. Without hesitation, he walked forward with determined steps.
Chen Pi, those three look like trouble. Don't get involved, Zhang Dali said.
If they were ordinary students, the two of them might have stepped in, but facing people like this, they needed to consider carefully.
Chen Shu didn't reply, continuing to walk forward.
Alas, fine, I'll go crazy with you once! Zhang Dali rolled up his sleeves, ready to strike.
Hey, kid? The crew-cut man immediately noticed the two approaching.
These guys look like they're here with bad intentions.
Just as the three of them were on high alert, ready to make a move.
Chen Shu suddenly covered his eyes and muttered, I didn't see it, I didn't see it.
