"Damn it!!"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. He was actually out of luck just like that?
"That was close..."
Qin Tian patted his chest. The moment he heard the word "storeroom," he knew something was amiss.
Based on his judgment, this guy probably had no money to exchange for items and wanted to do something like an advance draw.
"I'll have to call Teacher Liu then!"
Chen Shu sighed and dialed another number.
"Hello, Teacher Liu, I have something I'd like to..."
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later! Sorry,￥#%￥@..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, his body trembling several times.
After a while, he rubbed his head and said:
"Teacher Liu, I don't think we need to go this far..."
Chen Shu hadn't expected Liu Feng to be so outrageous, impersonating that voice.
"Putting aside your terrible foreign language, your voice is so rough. Are you really treating my intelligence as dirt?"
"..."
Liu Feng was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I thought it sounded quite similar!"
"Forget it!"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "It's like this, I want to..."
"I don't have money!"
Liu Feng interrupted Chen Shu's fantasy first, to prevent any serious consequences.
"Isn't participating in the competition for the school's glory!"
Chen Shu spoke earnestly, "With my strength, wouldn't I be in the top three nationwide? Doesn't the school give rewards?"
"Even other universities will concentrate resources to cultivate geniuses. Surely Hua Xia University isn't out of money?"
"Our school doesn't have the concept of getting something for nothing. You've only registered, there are definitely no rewards!"
Liu Feng said, "If you don't achieve a competition result, how can we give you resources?"
"But if you don't give me resources, how can I achieve a ranking?"
"..."
The two instantly fell into a century-old dilemma...
After much back and forth, Chen Shu was successfully... hung up on.
"Damn it, they're really stingy!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Liu Feng had already given him competition tasks, but to get rewards, he needed to achieve a ranking first.
"Junior, are you going to make another call?"
The senior sister in the storeroom smiled. She hadn't expected this guy to want to get something for free.
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "I'll have to use my own money!"
"..."
The senior sister was slightly stunned and said, "Are you really going to exchange for Gold-grade materials?"
"Yes!"
Chen Shu's expression was firm, saying with a hint of luck, "Can we haggle the price here?"
"Junior, you really want to haggle?"
A smile played on the senior sister's lips. This guy was truly the number one person for reverse bargaining.
"Uh... forget it!"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "Please exchange for the materials for [Skyfire Meteorite]."
The second [Indestructible Scarlet Flame] was a sustained damage skill, and he still preferred more explosive skills.
Of course, the most important thing was that it was expensive!
As for the third skill, it was clearly geared towards close-combat contracted spirits, which wasn't a good match for Erha...
His current academic credits could only exchange for three Gold-grade materials, so failure was absolutely not an option. Big Wind Novel.
Chen Shu rubbed Erha's head and said, "Erha, give me some effort!"
"Roar roar~"
Erha's eyes were filled with confident light, and he quickly nodded.
Before long, the people in the storeroom brought out the three materials.
At this time, the storeroom was already crowded. Silver-grade materials might not attract attention,
But Gold-grade materials were different.
The value of one material was about two hundred million, and this was even the school's internal price.
Outside, they would only appear at large auctions, and each would fetch an exorbitant price!
"This guy is really rich! He's going straight for Gold-grade!"
"I remember students aren't qualified to exchange for materials of this grade, are they?"
"He's the Nanjiang Bandit, do you think the school dares not exchange with him?"
Everyone was discussing, their eyes full of anticipation,
Wanting to see if Chen Shu would have a single stroke of luck or lose all his capital...
"Roar roar~"
Erha opened its mouth and directly swallowed the first material.
Time slowly passed.
It licked its lips, looking as if it hadn't had enough, and then gazed at Chen Shu with its intelligent eyes.
"That's it already..."
Chen Shu's eyes widened. You could at least chew it!
He looked at the skill panel and indeed, nothing had been learned.
Immediately after, another material was swallowed, but the result was still the same.
"I'm going to have a seizure!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, his hands and feet felt cold, and his heart was bleeding.
"Junior, calm down. According to normal probability, it usually takes five materials."
The staff member smiled and said, "There's still the last material. Do you want to gamble?"
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Shu took a deep breath and said, "Give me two Silver-grade materials!"
"?"
The staff member was slightly stunned, not expecting Chen Shu to be so adaptable to advance and retreat.
"Have you played games before? I need to do some preliminary testing!"
Chen Shu said, truly fearing with Erha's comprehension.
Siberian Huskies never disappointed when it came to disappointing people...
After consuming eight more Silver-grade materials, all of them failed.
"No, are you playing with me here?"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. His current academic credits could only exchange for one more Gold-grade material!
"Junior, how about we give up..."
The staff member also felt a bit pitying. This was truly burning money!
"Go!"
Chen Shu's expression hardened and he said, "Going all in is a life philosophy!"
With that, he took the last material and stuffed it directly into the dog's mouth.
Chen Shu smiled gently, holding a urea bag, and said:
"Cheer up for me!"
"Roar roar~~"
The Siberian Husky's body trembled, and it immediately realized the seriousness of the situation.
Chen Shu stared intently at its skill panel.
Finally, Chen Shu's body trembled, and he breathed a sigh of relief. The panel clearly showed a new skill: Skyfire Meteorite Lv1.
"Junior, you succeeded?"
Everyone's eyes were filled with curiosity, wanting an answer.
Chen Shu smiled and patted the dog's head.
"Roar~~"
In an instant, a red light appeared in the Siberian Husky's eyes, and the surrounding temperature rapidly increased!
"Damn it! Stop!"
The staff member's expression was wildly shaken, his eyes filled with panic.
This wasn't a beast-taming hall, it couldn't withstand such turmoil!
Just at the critical moment, a white light flashed, forcibly interrupting the Siberian Husky's skill.
At this time, an old man walked down from upstairs in the storeroom.
His face was filled with anger, and he said:
"At such a young age, you've already embarked on the path of crime. Today, I must arrest you!"
