“???”
The crowd below was stunned. Was this an advertisement inserted mid-game?
Chen Shu smiled and glanced at the paper in his hand. "My second thanks go to Luosipai Snail Noodles..."
The host beside him was completely bewildered. In all his years of work, he had never encountered such an outrageous person.
"I think I've made a decision I'll regret for life..."
Chen Qinghai looked at the stack of papers in Chen Shu's hand, his heart filled with an ominous premonition...
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu cleared his throat and said, "My 198th thanks go to..."
The venue fell silent. Everyone had incredibly strange expressions, completely unprepared for such an absurd scene.
This was all advertisement, devoid of any genuine feeling!
"Enough!"
Chen Qinghai finally couldn't take it anymore. He had all the equipment temporarily shut down.
He strode onto the competition stage and glared at Chen Shu, saying, "What are you doing, kid? This is a national broadcast!"
"I know!"
If it weren't for the national broadcast, why would he be reading it?
Chen Shu said with an innocent expression, "I'm just too loyal and righteous, wanting to thank all the companies that have helped me..."
"Helped you with what?! Just take the ads, take the ads!"
Chen Qinghai's mouth twitched. He had seen outrageous people, but never someone this outrageous.
For a full half hour, he hadn't stopped talking, constantly reading out advertisements...
"Alright, the interview is over!"
Chen Qinghai rubbed his temples. These companies were also unbelievably outrageous.
Truly, one dared to ask, and one dared to accept!
"No, sir, I haven't finished reading!"
Chen Shu shook the remaining stack of paper and said, "Just give me another two hours!"
*Bang!*
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Qinghai decisively kicked him away.
"Prepare to wrap up!"
He clapped his hands, looked at the host, and signaled the staff to restart the live broadcast.
The host nodded, displaying professional composure, and said with a smile, "There might have been a slight signal disruption earlier, causing the broadcast to pause briefly!"
At this moment, seeing Chen Shu gleefully trying to run back up,
Her expression jolted. Hurriedly, she said,
"This National Beast Taming Championship has now concluded! Thank you, everyone!"
The audience's mouths twitched. This was probably the most abrupt ending in history.
Chen Shu's expression froze. He saw all the broadcast equipment being shut down.
"No!"
He tightly clutched the advertisement script and shouted to the sky, looking utterly grief-stricken.
"..."
The passersby were dumbfounded, unable to hold back their amusement.
"Alright, alright!"
Liu Feng forcibly dragged him away. "Isn't this kid pure madness?"
Ten minutes later, the group walked along a small island path, preparing to head to the northern part of the island to inscribe their names on the Tianjiao Stone Tablet.
"You want to die, kid?"
Liu Feng's eyes held amusement, but he scolded, "Over 1 billion people across the country were watching. You actually read advertisements at a time like this?"
"I was wrong!"
Chen Shu lowered his head, his eyes full of regret.
"You know you were wrong now?"
Liu Feng glared at him and said, "You must be careful in the future!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "If I had known the attention would be so high, I should have asked for more advertising fees..."
"???"
Fang Si and the others turned to look. To be so flippant in front of Liu Manzi, this guy really wasn't afraid of death anymore!
"Is this your reflection?"
As expected, Liu Feng's expression turned fierce, and he said sternly, "What I mean is, next time you must remember... to advertise for my coffin shop."
"???"
The others were stunned. These two were something else; no wonder they were master and disciple.
...
The group arrived at the base of the Tianjiao Stone Tablet.
"Am I going to be famous for a hundred generations now?"
Chen Shu gazed at the hundred-meter-tall stone tablet before him, excitement filling his eyes.
"That phrase isn't suitable for you! A hundred generations is too few!"
Liu Feng said with extreme seriousness, "I think ten thousand years is more fitting!"
"Agreed!"
The others nodded in agreement.
A Liang spoke up, "Chen Pi, even if you don't carve your name, everyone will remember you!"
Chen Shu's strength was immense, and his contracted spirits were incredibly peculiar.
Most importantly, the series of outrageous incidents he had caused, any one of them could make him nationally famous.
His current popularity was not only unprecedented but likely unmatched by any successors.
"That makes some sense!"
Chen Shu touched his chin and said seriously, "There's a Psoriasis treatment company that wants to collaborate with me. Maybe I should transfer the opportunity?"
"???"
Everyone stared at him. This guy really dared to!
"Then I will definitely cremate you!"
Liu Feng said with a serious expression, "Do you think this is a utility pole for sticking small advertisements?"
The stone tablet was inscribed with the names of proud talents from various eras, influential figures recognized globally.
If this guy suddenly put up something like 'Psoriasis' or 'Generous Reward for Childbearing,' it would likely cause a global sensation...
"If you dare do that, I will directly annihilate you!"
From a distance, a calm voice called out.
Everyone turned to see a King-level contracted spirit rushing over.
Chen Qinghai said, "The moment I arrived, I heard you were causing trouble again?"
"Sir, I'm only twenty-one. Is it wrong to want to earn some money?"
Chen Shu scratched his head and said innocently, "Unlike you, I don't have the luxury of not worrying about food or clothing."
"Cut the nonsense and quickly write your name!"
Chen Qinghai threw out a special black carving knife and said, "Don't do anything else!"
"Okay."
Chen Shu took the carving knife and said, "Sir, I can carve anywhere, right?"
"Anywhere, but proud talents usually have high aspirations and typically carve at the top!"
The upper part of the hundred-meter-tall stone tablet was densely covered with words, while the names below were few and far between.
"The people above are all seniors I deeply respect. I wouldn't dare carve above them!"
Chen Shu said with extreme humility, "As a junior, I'll write below."
With that, he rode his slime to the base of the stone tablet.
"Still humble!"
Chen Qinghai nodded and said to Liu Feng, "Old Liu, your student does have his merits."
"Of course..."
Liu Feng smiled and said, "In fact, I thought this kid was good from the start."
The two talked about Chen Shu with great interest.
After a while, Chen Shu rode his slime over and handed back the carving knife, saying, "Sir, I'm done carving."
"Kid, keep up the good work!"
Chen Qinghai took the carving knife, intending to offer some encouragement to the junior.
However, when he looked at the stone tablet, he was completely stunned.
