"Sure, credit is possible, but only with a limit of five million.
The waiter's body trembled, always feeling Chen Shu's gaze like a hungry wolf.
Is this really a gold card VIP?
Chen Shu glared and asked, "Is that all?"
The waiter continued, "Besides that, gold card VIPs receive a 10% discount on all merchandise and can pre-order skills!
Chen Shu said, "Pre-order skills? Then keep an eye out for the skill [Thunderclap Burst] for me.
[Thunderclap Burst] is a skill of a Silver-tier Lord, and it is extremely powerful among Thunder-elemental skills.
With his current balance, he could only afford one Silver-tier skill for now.
If Tianhua Group reserved the skill and he didn't have the money to purchase it, his VIP status would be lowered, and he might even become a Silver-tier user.
Chen Shu handed the recipe to the waiter and left the Tianhua shop.
The reputation of Tianhua Group was not to be doubted; they would never leak customer information, let alone that of a gold card VIP.
The next morning,
Fang Si called him to come to Huaxia Academy.
Today was the day of departure!
Chen Shu's eyes were filled with eagerness as he silently packed his bag.
Half an hour later,
An off-road vehicle left Huaxia Academy. It also had the Huaxia Academy license plate, but the number was different from Fang Si's.
Lu Zhining was driving, and Chen Shu sat in the passenger seat, while Fang Si and the other two sat in the back.
The four girls were chatting happily.
Chen Shu suddenly asked with concern, "Senior Lu, Senior Ning, have your injuries healed?
The atmosphere in the car instantly turned silent.
Chen Shu said apologetically,
My attack was too heavy that day; I didn't realize the gap between us.
Lu Zhining and Ning Qingyi turned to look, like Garen buying a Lord's Armor, their defenses shattered and leaving them speechless.
"Just shut up, you idiot!"
Fang Si, to maintain team harmony, had to silence Chen Shu.
If this guy kept talking, they might break up before even reaching the other dimension.
The spatial entrance to [Living Wood Swamp] was not in the capital,
but in a small city nearby: Qing City!
The distance between the two cities was considerable, but fortunately, there was a highway connecting them.
In one day,
the five of them arrived at the outskirts of Qing City. Although it was the edge of a small city, it still appeared incredibly prosperous.
"We've finally arrived!
Ahead was Hemu Town, and the passage to the other dimension was deep within the small town.
"Are those students from Huaxia Academy?
"They're all geniuses!
"I'm so envious; it's a pity something happened to me back then, or I would have gotten into Huaxia Academy."
"What happened?
"I didn't even finish middle school.
"Get lost!"
The beast tamers who came for adventures were filled with envy.
The gap between college geniuses and social beast tamers was too vast; there was no comparison at all.
Some Black Iron-tier beast tamers hadn't even fully fed their basic-grade potions.
Upon seeing the Huaxia Academy license plate,
the soldiers at the town entrance did not obstruct them but let them pass directly without any inspection.
Everyone parked their off-road vehicle and opened the trunk to take out their respective backpacks.
Qiao Yue smiled and asked, "Junior Chen Shu, why do you always carry a bag?
"Where the person is, the bag is!
Chen Shu said, shrugging his backpack.
"Let's go to the hotel first!
The five of them placed their luggage and had a simple dinner.
Everyone then went to the Beast Tamer Association in the town to pick up some missions.
Besides materials from other dimensions, the income for beast tamers came from hired missions.
"Bring on any high-difficulty missions!!
Chen Shu, familiar with the process, waved his hand grandly, his eyes filled with confidence.
"Huh?
The beast tamers in the hall all looked over, thinking some powerful figure had appeared.
Chen Shu added, "Don't show me any missions that require a security deposit.
"Tch~~
Everyone shook their heads, realizing he was just a freeloader, purely trying his luck.
"You idiot!
The four of them were stunned for a moment, then they started chatting as if Chen Shu wasn't there, wanting to pretend they didn't know him.
Chen Shu shouted, "Seniors, come look at the missions!
The four of them shook their heads and could only step forward.
At this time, various missions were displayed in the mission hall, but most of them were suitable for Black Iron-tier beast tamers.
Some missions even required Silver-tier beast tamers to complete.
[Mission Name]: Collect Sky Poison Flower.
[Mission Difficulty]: Normal.
[Mission Content]: Requires collecting three Sky Poison Flowers, which must be kept fresh. The harvesting time must not exceed ten days. No security deposit is required!
[Mission Reward]: One million Huaxia coins.
The five of them directly looked at the higher-difficulty missions. Although they were all Black Iron-tier, their team's combat power was incredibly strong, capable of hunting Silver-tier mutated ferocious beasts.
[Mission Name]: Capture Young Jade Green Giant Frog.
[Mission Name]: Hunt Venomous Scorpion.
Various missions flooded their sight. Finally, Fang Si and the other three discussed and accepted three missions.
They were [Collect Wood Green Seed], [Gather Azure Spirit Water], and [Hunt Mutated Thousand Vine Poison Tree].
Chen Shu remained silent, memorizing all the lord-type missions above.
He didn't need to accept them; if he successfully hunted them, he could directly bring the materials to complete the missions.
With their current combat strength, they definitely couldn't defeat Silver-tier lords.
But one must have dreams; what if they came true?
After accepting the missions, the five of them left the Beast Tamer Association.
The next morning,
Chen Shu and the other four, carrying large backpacks, headed deep into the town.
White mist still enveloped the area, making it impossible to discern reality.
Relying on their Huaxia Academy status, the five of them did not pay any fees and directly stepped into the white mist.
"Chen Pi, eat this!
Fang Si looked back and handed him a green pill.
There was miasma in the [Living Wood Swamp]. Although Black Iron-tier bodies could resist it, it would inevitably have some effect. He swallowed the detoxification pill.
Chen Shu did not hesitate and swallowed it directly.
The five of them entered the spatial passage. With a flicker of their vision, they arrived in another space.
Before Chen Shu could even open his eyes, he smelled the scent of rotten soil.
Although it wasn't enough to make him nauseous, it was still somewhat unpleasant.
"Huh? What is this?
Chen Shu opened his eyes and found himself in a giant tree hollow.
"Is this the Zhenling Army's outpost?
The surroundings were vast and empty, with no people or buildings, only a wooden staircase leading higher up.
"Let's go!
The five of them arrived at a cave entrance and left the giant tree hollow.
There was no sunlight in the [Living Wood Swamp], as if time had frozen at the foggy morning.
Chen Shu looked back and saw an incredibly large tree standing tall, like a pillar supporting the sky. Its bark had countless holes, all artificially chiseled, like windows.
Each hole was guarded by at least one Zhenling Army soldier, their faces stern and unsmiling.
The giant tree was divided into at least dozens of layers. The lowest layer was for adventurers to use, while the upper floors were the Zhenling Army's work and rest areas.
The five of them, with their extensive experience, summoned their beasts immediately.
"Roar!
"Aow!
"Goo-gee!
"Yo ho!"
