"Alright, alright! That's enough of the freak show for today!"
"Chen Pi, isn't the dorm rule 'finders keepers'..."
"Keepers my ass!"
The three froze, exchanging glances, already contemplating a grab.
But considering Chen Shu's strength, their chances of survival were slim...
Chen Shu smiled and said, "How about I treat you all to a feast today!"
Upon hearing this, the three's expressions brightened, and they immediately became excited.
Even if they didn't get any money, being able to try the flesh and blood of a Monarch was not a loss!
"Dali, the Monarch's flesh and blood has arrived, come quickly!"
Chen Shu didn't just call Zhang Dali; he invited Xu Xiaoyu, Xia Bing, and others as well.
If he didn't invite them, how would anyone know he had killed a Monarch?
As night fell,
On the rooftop of Liu Feng's office building,
A large group of people gathered around a huge bonfire. The barbecue above emitted a rich aroma.
Zhang Dali and the others were all exhilarated, never expecting to eat Monarch flesh and blood in their lifetime.
"Chen Shu, you're quite generous!"
Liu Feng said with a smile. Monarch flesh and blood was an extremely rare commodity.
If it were submitted to the academy's research lab, it would definitely fetch a large number of academic credits.
"Credits can be earned later, but who knows when we'll get to eat a fierce beast of this level again!"
Chen Shu licked his lips and said, "Life is about eating and drinking!"
"You rascal!"
Liu Feng shook his head. Although he felt it was a bit of a waste, he didn't stop it.
Chen Shu had killed it alone, so he naturally had the absolute right to distribute it.
Seeing that everyone was about to start eating, Liu Feng reminded them:
"You are all only at the Black Iron level. Eating moderately can strengthen your bodies! But if you eat too much, you'll probably be throwing up all night!"
"..."
Everyone nodded and began to eat in small bites.
Chen Shu didn't hold back, taking a large piece of leg meat for himself and devouring it.
The Monarch's meat was tender and delicious, possessing extremely high energy, and most importantly, a special fragrance that was captivating.
"Teacher, how much do you think this can sell for?"
Chen Shu said unclearly with meat in his mouth,
while pointing to a container beside him, which held a blue heart!
It was the core material of the Monarch!
"That's uncertain. It mainly depends on what skills can be comprehended!"
Liu Feng said, "The market price is generally between two to five billion!"
"So cheap? Then what about this?"
Chen Shu took out the Monarch's Pearl again, preparing to estimate its total value.
Old Xie also came closer. Since it concerned how much money he could get, he naturally had to understand.
"The Monarch's Pearl, the market price is probably around one to two billion!"
Liu Feng said uncertainly, "There are too many influencing factors, such as the quality of the pearl, and whether a wealthy buyer can be found, and so on."
"This adds up to less than ten billion!"
Chen Shu frowned. He seemed to have overestimated it a bit.
Liu Feng said, "Don't you still have the Silver True Treasure? That thing is the most valuable!"
"True Treasure?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened, and he suddenly realized something.
He quickly ran to the giant tiger corpse beside him and kept searching.
"Damn it, no True Treasure?!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected it to be so absurd.
He had actually overlooked the True Treasure...
Liu Feng stroked his chin and said, "It seems it had just become a Monarch."
"New Monarchs don't have them?"
"Nonsense, the True Treasure is the Monarch's accompanying supreme treasure. It takes a long time to gradually condense."
Liu Feng seemed to have thought of something and said with disappointment,
"You actually let a Legendary Contracted Spirit take down a new Monarch?!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and his heart ached. Nothing was more sorrowful than false hope.
He sighed deeply and turned to look at Xie Su'nan beside him, saying,
"Old Xie, I originally intended to give you all the True Treasures, but now it seems..."
He patted the other person's shoulder and said, "After we finish eating today, we'll go our separate ways..."
"???"
Xie Su'nan's eyes widened. What kind of joke was this?
The next second, he grabbed Chen Shu by the neck, shook him back and forth, and shouted,
"You Wall Street wolf, pay up!!"
"Cough... cough... I'll pay..."
Chen Shu coughed and quickly said, soothing Old Xie's emotions.
"It was just a joke..."
He rubbed his neck and said, "After I calculate the total value, it'll still be a seven-three split!"
"That's more like it..."
Xie Su'nan muttered and finally relaxed.
The others all had smiles on their faces, completely unfazed. Chen Shu was still the same Chen Shu...
The group sat around, chatting and laughing. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were still close.
Those who could get along with Chen Shu all had a bit of the "social terrorist" gene...
"Teacher Liu, why aren't you eating?"
Chen Shu said, while bringing over a large piece of beast meat.
"No need. A Silver Monarch has no effect on me, and my mouth isn't greedy."
Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "Let your fat rabbit eat it."
"Don't worry, an entire Monarch will probably allow its weapon to evolve a couple of times!"
"Are you sure?"
Liu Feng pointed at the Tiger King's corpse in the corner.
"Holy cow!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He saw only a skeleton, with no meat left.
A fat rabbit twitched its ears and began to gnaw on the bones.
"Finished already?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. His heart rejoiced, and he opened the Contracted Spirit panel.
However, his primary weapon still only had two special effects, not even completing one evolution!
His expression was shocked, and he muttered, "Impossible!"
"What's impossible about it?"
Liu Feng leaned over and said, "The first two times you used a Golden Monarch, the effects were naturally extraordinary. This thing, to put it plainly, is just a juvenile Monarch."
"Most importantly, the higher the evolution degree, the exponentially higher the required flesh and blood!"
He explained seriously, "Do you think the difficulty from Black Iron to Silver is the same as from Silver to Gold?"
"No way! Damn it!"
Chen Shu wailed to the sky. He had expected at least two or three evolutions.
The Space Rabbit's combat capabilities were basically derived from its primary weapon.
Moreover, after the previous battle, the effects of the two special features were extremely domineering, equivalent to having two extra passive skills out of nowhere.
"However, don't be too discouraged. Once it finishes gnawing the bones, the weapon should be close to evolving."
"Really?"
Chen Shu's eyes regained their light. As long as it could evolve once, it wouldn't be a loss!
Liu Feng nodded and said, "It might just be the final push!"
"Everyone, hold on a moment! Has everyone eaten enough?"
Chen Shu looked at the crowd around the bonfire in the distance, smiled, and took out a bag of medicine from his bag, saying,
"How about a post-meal dessert?"
Everyone's eyes widened, and they exclaimed, "Emetic?!"
