Chapter 13 The Protagonist's True Worth

Chen Shu nodded slightly and moved the urea bag away, revealing Liu Dayi's face.

Huh? I recognize this person, isn't this a wanted criminal online?

Soon, members of the public recognized Liu Wuyi.

Everyone quickly checked online and indeed, he was a dangerous wanted criminal.

Chen Shu immediately saw the bounty amount, which was a full one hundred thousand yuan.

Soon, people from the Spirit Suppression Bureau arrived, they were the specialized personnel responsible for handling criminals who were beast masters.

The black market crowd was evacuated, and the three also left Seven Star Street.

Thank you for your help this time.

The three arrived on the main street. As for Chen Shu, he left his phone number, and if the verification was correct, he would be awarded a bonus.

As for Zhang Dali, he put on an air of a master, dismissive of the bounty.

In his words, it was a minor matter, and he left with his merits hidden, without seeking recognition.

It's a small matter, Chen Shu loves upholding justice the most!

The righteous demeanor of the two suggested they were here to right all wrongs in the world,

completely forgetting their earlier escape.

I'll remember this favor. If you ever need anything, feel free to tell me.

Xu Xiaoyu looked serious, clearly not liking to owe favors.

Sister Xiaoyu, we didn't help you for any favor.

Chen Shu also looked serious, then his tone suddenly shifted.

By the way, I'm looking for a job during the summer vacation.

Zhang Dali shivered.

Didn't you just say you weren't looking for favors? You almost had me believing you.

What kind of job are you looking for? I might have a suitable recommendation.

Xu Xiaoyu brushed a strand of hair from her ear. The night breeze blew, making her look exceptionally captivating.

But unfortunately, her beauty was useless against these two.

Sister Xiaoyu, my requirements aren't high. I just want a job that's easy, close to home, and pays well.

Zhang Dali said without hesitation.

Who could refuse such a job?

Dali, your demands are excessive!

Chen Shu immediately spoke, his tone tinged with reproach. He turned to look at Xu Xiaoyu.

Sister Xiaoyu, I just want a job where I can lie at home and count money.

Heh heh.

Xu Xiaoyu let out two stiff laughs. You two really aren't picky.

My company happens to be short-handed. If you need anything, you can try there.

What kind of job?

Xu Xiaoyu looked a little embarrassed. It's mainly responsible for patrolling the company and providing security services.

Security guard?

Chen Shu frowned. He was actually hoping for a job related to alchemy.

Just as he was about to refuse, Zhang Dali's expression suddenly changed, and he looked excited.

There's really a security guard job?

Xu Xiaoyu: ???

Is a security guard job really that exciting?

Dali, are you sick? If your parents, who are Black Iron level beast masters, found out, wouldn't they beat you up?

Zhang Dali, after all, came from a well-off family and could be considered middle-class in Nanjiang City.

Why would he be so excited about a security guard job?

Chen Pi, what do you know? If you weren't a security guard this year, you'd be out of fashion.

Zhang Dali said with an air of arrogance.

Chen Shu sighed and shook his head.

When will Dali be as normal as me?

Sister Xiaoyu, I can concoct medicinal solutions. Are there any suitable ones?

Huh? You can concoct medicinal solutions?

Xu Xiaoyu's eyebrows shot up, a look of disbelief on her face.

Is this something you can just whip up? Is it like breeding pigs?

To become an alchemist, one needs to master various complex pharmacological knowledge. Only graduates from excellent universities have a chance to pursue this profession.

And now a high school student is telling me this?

I can't make that decision. If you genuinely want to try, you can visit my company.

Xu Xiaoyu didn't agree immediately. Her family's company's main products were various medicinal solutions, which were core to their business, and it wasn't something she could decide on her own.

But if you want to be a security guard, just say you're my classmate.

Both of them were quite tall, so they would be more than suitable for security guard duty.

Thank you again for your help this time.

Xu Xiaoyu bowed slightly to the two.

The three exchanged super-contacts and then went their separate ways.

Who knew we'd save a top student just by casually making a move.

Zhang Dali couldn't help but exclaim.

Chen Pi, do you think we're the protagonists?

I'm not. You probably are.

Why do you say that?

You have the qualities of a protagonist!

Zhang Dali's body trembled, his eyes widened, as if he had finally met a kindred spirit after a long search.

I've been hiding for seventeen years, and I didn't expect you to see through me! Chen Pi, your insight is extraordinary!

Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Can we be a bit more modest?

Huh? Didn't you just say I have the qualities of a protagonist?

Yes, most protagonists start as underdogs. You fit this perfectly.

You're truly a dog!

Zhang Dali gave Chen Shu a contemptuous look and raised his middle finger.

Chatting and joking, the two returned to their residential area.

Chen Shu returned home, tidied up, and was soon ready to fall asleep.

Suddenly, an option appeared before his eyes again.

[Option One: Cultivate through the night, absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Completion Reward: Title "Diligent Talent", Wearing Effect: Cultivation efficiency increased by 10%.]

[Option Two: Fall asleep immediately, lie flat. Completion Reward: A small amount of beast taming power.]

Chen Shu hadn't expected to trigger an option even before sleeping.

He made a decisive choice, turned on the air conditioning, pulled up the covers, and immediately lay flat.

If one has to cultivate diligently without a system, why have a system in the first place?

Is there really someone who doesn't understand the value of being a protagonist?

The next day,

As soon as Chen Shu stepped into the classroom, he saw many reverent gazes.

Brother Pi, you're so fierce. Everyone else fights with contracted spirits, but you fought bare-handed. You've truly opened up a new combat path.

Of course. Brother Pi is more famous in the ordinary class than Xu Xiaoyu. The sight of the urea bag alone is enough for us to learn from for a lifetime.

Brother Pi, do you have any more urea bags at home? Can you give me one? I want to hang it on the wall as a ward against evil spirits!

Chen Shu waved his hand, tilted his head, and closed his eyes, as if unable to bear the praise.

Everyone, let's be low-key, low-key. It's mainly because our class monitor, Zheng, cooperated.

As he was bragging with everyone,

A harsh voice suddenly rang out.

Get out of the way! Who the hell is Chen Shu?

A thin student with sharp eyes arrived at the classroom door.

Senior year student Zheng Nan? What are you doing here?

Wang Meng was the first to step forward, blocking Chen Shu.

What? Not welcome?

Zheng Nan sneered and crossed his arms.

I heard someone in the second year bullied my brother and caused my family to lose forty thousand yuan for nothing. As his elder brother, I have to ask about it.

What? You dare to do it but not admit it? Did this brat want to take over the world?
