Everyone today is prepared with a stretcher. Even if we have to carry him, we will carry him back!
Each person wore a mournful expression.
If it were anyone else who dared to provoke Black Whirlwind like this, they would absolutely be considered to have some mental issues.
But for Chen Shu, being occasionally abnormal was also quite normal.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
Li Yuan sat down on the desk chair and lit a cigarette.
"Teacher Li, I might have had some mental issues recently."
"That excuse has been used twenty-three times. Think of another one."
Chen Shu: "I..."
Li Yuan took a light drag from his cigarette, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Chen Shu.
"Did you really not know the problem on the blackboard today?"
Although Li Yuan appeared rough and burly, he was actually very meticulous and could tell that Chen Shu had been bewildered at the time.
"That problem was just the basic of basics, anyone with hands could do it, even primary schoolers."
"Teacher, I really didn't know. I still don't even know what a Spirit Tamer is."
He had merely slept in class, and the whole world had changed.
The familiar subjects of Chinese, Math, and English were gone, replaced by some messy Beast Taming knowledge. On top of that, he had awakened a mysterious system.
"It's Saturday today, and tomorrow is the weekend. You can go back and rest for a day."
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan did not make things difficult for Chen Shu.
He might appear hot-tempered, but he was kind-hearted, and moreover, he knew Chen Shu's father.
"Thank you, Teacher Li."
Chen Shu picked up the leave slip from the desk and turned to leave.
He really needed time to adjust.
In the blink of an eye, he felt his worldview had collapsed.
"Today is a good day. Anything I wish for will come true."
Chen Shu whistled, looking at the empty school.
It was currently class time, so no students would be around.
Although the world had changed, the familiar people had not.
Chen Shu was naturally going with the flow. Besides, he had awakened a system, which was clearly a good thing.
"Student! It's class time now, why are you wandering around the school?" A school teacher saw Chen Shu idling about.
"I'm sick."
Looking at the energetic figure of the other person, his tone was filled with pride and self-satisfaction.
Fang Ke muttered, "It seems the sickness is quite serious."
Chen Shu rode a shared bicycle and quickly returned home.
"Son, are you alright?"
As soon as he got home, Chen Shu's mother asked with concern.
Clearly, the homeroom teacher Li Yuan had already contacted the family.
"Mom, I'm fine, just a little stunned."
Chen Shu returned home and suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Mom, is it 2021 now?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's the 980th year of the Resurgence Era."
"It seems I haven't fully recovered yet."
Chen Shu rubbed his temples and turned back to his room.
Although the world had changed, technology had not. To understand world information, the internet was naturally the best choice.
Chen Shu skillfully opened his computer and brewed himself a cup of steaming hot coffee.
"Let me see what kind of hell this world has become."
Chen Shu browsed the news online.
He thought he was prepared, but he still couldn't quite hold himself together.
"Shocking! A certain celebrity Beast Tamer has been exposed for a scandalous affair and has since embraced a 'pure prison' style."
"Beast Taming Glory has launched a new season, waiting for you to compete!"
A new dimensional rift has appeared in Qingyuan Mountain, Beili City. The fierce beasts within are mainly wind-attribute. All Beast Tamers are welcome to descend!"
"Hot Topic!! The CEO of Feixun Group has broken through to King-level Beast Tamer. His new contracted spirit is an SS-rank Extreme Ice Emperor Penguin!"
Chen Shu moved the mouse with his right hand, constantly rubbing his temples with his left.
"My head is killing me!"
Over several hours, Chen Shu's worldview repeatedly collapsed and rebuilt itself.
Finally, he had a basic understanding of the world.
The world had changed drastically. Dimensional rifts would randomly appear in various cities.
Within Huaguo alone, there were hundreds of dimensional rifts, containing various fierce beasts, making them extremely dangerous.
But humans naturally had a way to deal with them: Beast Tamers.
Everyone could undergo an awakening ceremony at the age of fifteen.
If they could awaken Beast Taming talent and simultaneously form a contract with an otherworldly being, they had a chance to become a Beast Tamer.
Powerful Beast Tamers could control their contracted spirits to battle, guard dimensional rifts, and protect all of humanity.
This naturally gave Beast Tamers very high social status.
"Son, come out for dinner."
Chen Shu walked out leisurely, holding his coffee.
"What's wrong with this child?"
His mother touched his forehead, asking with concern.
Just then, his father Chen Ping returned home from work.
"Son, I heard you were sick? I specifically bought you a big gift package. It just happened to catch the pharmacy's promotion."
With that, a large bag of miscellaneous potions was tossed onto the sofa.
"Dad, can you be more reliable? It's like you're buying snacks."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. The potions in that pile could treat anything, just not his condition.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, are you Beast Tamers?"
He suddenly thought of something.
After several hours of online browsing, the words "Beast Tamer" were the most memorable to him.
"Nonsense, your father works at a Beast Taming unit."
Father Chen Ping looked proud and took out a red gift box.
"Here, this is a reward from the unit, a low-grade Flame Potion."
Chen Shu looked at the red liquid in the exquisite bottle, then at the red coffee in his hand.
"Is this potion very precious?" He swallowed and asked softly.
"Of course. Flame Potions can permanently increase the fire attribute of a contracted spirit. A bottle like this is probably worth thousands."
Chen Ping carefully put away the potion.
"Of course, our family can't use it. We'll sell it later to subsidize household expenses."
"Son, what are you drinking? It's so red?"
Chen Ping suddenly noticed the red coffee in Chen Shu's hand.
"Nothing, nothing."
Chen Shu gulped down the coffee in one go.
He didn't expect the low-grade Flame Potion rewarded by the system to be so expensive.
He had only chosen a multiple-choice question and was rewarded with thousands of dollars.
Unfortunately, there was no hot water at home in the afternoon, so he used it to make coffee.
No wonder Chen Shu felt his body was warm.
"Dad, is it okay for a person to drink it?"
"Why would a person drink this stuff? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
Chen Shu looked speechless, but since his body only felt warm and had no other side effects, he didn't pay it much mind.
"Dad, since you're a Beast Tamer, you must have a contracted spirit, right?"
"Of course. That's my contracted spirit."
With that, his father pointed to the fish tank in the living room.
Inside, a small red fish was swimming around.
Chen Shu: "..."
The fish they had kept for so many years was his father's contracted spirit?!
