“Me? Clean up?”
Chen Shu’s eyes widened, feigning an expression of disbelief at the need to “clean up.”
However, Liu Feng misunderstood.
He patted Chen Shu on the shoulder and said, “I know it’s hard for you to clean up, but we can’t give up. This is a big project that needs to be done step by step!”
“Forget it!”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched. “I’m already clean and don’t need any washing! I’m not going!”
“……”
Seeing that the other party was stubborn, Liu Feng’s eyes rolled as he spoke, “There are many fierce beasts in the north. Forget mutated fierce beasts, even Lord-level beasts are everywhere. It’s practically picking up money. If we go late…”
Before he could even finish speaking,
Chen Shu had already put on his combat pack, turned his back to Liu Feng, and said resolutely, “The situation is critical now, and I must step up!”
“……”
Liu Feng’s mouth was agape. As expected, he needed to find the right approach.
“I’ll set off tomorrow after the competition!”
“That’s good. Remember to hurry. The Lord-level fierce beasts in the north are all gathered together!”
Liu Feng smiled and turned to leave the dormitory.
Chen Shu rubbed his chin. What made him decide was not just Liu Feng’s temptation, but also the system’s options.
[Option One: Agree and head to the northern front line! Completion Reward: Space Rabbit’s spatial attribute +5%]
[Option Two: Tactfully refuse, you need to go home for the New Year! Completion Reward: Moderate beast taming power]
[Option Three: Directly decline, insist on staying at school to study! Completion Reward: University Materials Science Knowledge]
He decisively chose the first one. The second reward was not enough,
As for the third, it was even more useless.
His knowledge of materials science was at least at a professor level…
“Another 5% spatial attribute received.”
Chen Shu muttered to himself, his mood extremely pleasant.
Currently, the Space Rabbit already possessed combat power, at least not weaker than contracted spirits of the same level, and its survival ability was maxed out.
Unfortunately, Er Ha and Xiao Huang were too violent, overshadowing the rabbit’s brilliance.
At this moment, a message came from his phone.
“Hmm? The recipes have arrived?”
Chen Shu looked at the file sent by Zhang Dali, and his body instantly trembled, excitement filling his eyes.
He immediately packed his bag and left the dormitory, heading straight for Tianhua Group’s shop.
…
“Tail meat of the Golden Lord Blazing Dragon, leg meat of the Mutated Swift Thunder Wolf, sap of the Icefire Marvelous Flower…”
The manager of Tianhua Shop’s eyes widened, and his astonishment grew as he read.
Especially since all three recipes required the flesh and blood of a Golden Lord as the main ingredient.
He spoke with a hint of disbelief, “Mr. Chen, are you sure these are recipes?”
“Prepare them!”
Chen Shu nodded. Dali’s mentor was a King-level spirit chef, so the recipes were naturally top-notch.
Moreover, he had specifically mentioned that he needed the recipes with the fastest effects.
Because his cultivation progress was too fast, he might become a Golden level again next year.
According to the other party, as long as he consistently consumed the foods on the recipes,
he could increase his main attribute by 1% every month, and the effect would not weaken for at least three years.
Although it would not cause a qualitative change, every little bit counts!
The manager nodded and recorded the ingredients one by one, finally calculating the price for Chen Shu.
“Thirty million? So expensive?!”
Chen Shu’s eyes widened. “I only asked for a month’s supply!”
“Mr. Chen, there’s no mistake…”
The manager also explained, while his eyes showed a bit of caution and unease.
When a desperado wants something but has no money, bad things might happen…
Chen Shu remained silent, only thinking.
This scene made the manager hold his breath. Would he try to snatch it…
“Then, let’s start with a month’s supply!”
Chen Shu said, handing over his student card.
As soon as he said this, the manager immediately breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Facing a desperado, his pressure was indeed immense!
“Fortunately, the club funds have come through, otherwise I wouldn’t even be able to afford the ingredients.”
Chen Shu shook his head, feeling utterly poor for a moment.
After paying, Chen Shu turned and left. The shop needed time to procure the ingredients from all over the country.
…
The next morning,
Chen Shu arrived at the Kyoto Duelling Arena to participate in his second qualifying match.
The atmosphere today was significantly more heated, with people even coming from other qualifying locations to watch.
Chen Shu’s fighting style was rough, and his contracted spirits were bizarre, naturally attracting more attention.
“Nanjiang Desperado! Nanjiang Desperado!”
The cheers from the audience were deafening, with fans holding various support signs, bearing the words ‘Nanjiang Desperado,’ ‘Chen Shu,’ and so on.
The most absurd was one that read ‘Urea Hero’…
At this moment, two contestants had already arrived at their respective combat positions and summoned their contracted spirits.
“Your reputation is huge, but can your strength match it?”
Sun Ming spoke, his tone filled with defiance, fantasizing about beating Chen Shu and becoming famous.
“Hurry up, I’m in a hurry!”
Chen Shu glanced at his phone, busy heading to the Kyoto airport.
“The match officially begins!”
The protective barrier between the two sides was removed.
Sun Ming said, “Let me show you my Iron Wall tactic!”
Then, the S-class Black Armored Earth Dragon below roared, opened its large mouth, and swallowed the other two contracted spirits.
At the same time, a black, ethereal glow appeared on its back, its defense clearly maximized.
“Hmm?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. Wasn’t this the same tactic he often used?
“Feel free to unleash your skills. My contracted spirits will dodge, and that counts as a loss…”
Boom boom boom!
Before he could finish speaking, a series of elemental skills rained down, completely disregarding logic.
The Black Armored Earth Dragon was sent flying backward, its scales cracking, looking utterly miserable.
“What’s going on?!”
Sun Ming’s body trembled, his eyes widened.
He had just made a bold statement, and then he was instantly defeated?!
Two Er Has were looking at him intelligently, both corners of their mouths curling into an evil smile.
The audience on the spot was not surprised, having already witnessed the terrifying destructive power of Er Ha.
However, those from outside the province watching the Kyoto qualifying matches via live broadcast were completely shocked.
Various bullet comments floated in the live stream:
“It’s a clone divine skill!”
“Holy cow, is that real? Can an elemental beast learn this skill?”
“And this damage is too overpowered! It can instantly kill a defensive-type Black Armored Earth Dragon?!”
In an instant, Chen Shu’s fame gradually spread.
Originally, he was only famous in Nancang Province and Kyoto.
But now, the entire country was gradually recognizing the unscientific nature of the desperado…
‘Reward obtained: [Charge] +1, [Heavenly Fire Meteor] +1, Space Rabbit’s spatial attribute +3%!’
Chen Shu grinned. This meant he had already secured a spot in the formal competition.
He gave Sun Ming a thumbs-up and said,
“You’re a true man. You said you wouldn’t dodge, and you didn’t! I, Chen Shu, admire you!”
