Wang Meng and the others discussed their holiday plans.
As top students, their three-day break would be spent buried in their studies.
The Beast Taming Dojo was one of the many educational institutions in society.
Due to its high concentration of spiritual energy, countless students vied to enter, eager to improve their beast taming levels.
"Chen Pi, what about you? Any plans?"
"Me? I'm planning to interview for a summer job."
Chen Shu thought for a moment and decided to visit Xu Xiaoyu's family business during the three days.
"You really have a good attitude," Wang Meng remarked.
Chen Shu's academic scores were, without a doubt, the lowest in the class.
His strength in beast taming was also at the bottom of the class.
This was a case of "what's done is done."
Chen Shu yawned, offering no further explanation.
He had always been laid-back, and with the system, he had become even more detached.
The world didn't need him to save it, and he had no deep-seated revenge to enact. He could take things as they came.
"Chen Pi!"
Li Yuan, with his dark complexion, suddenly appeared at the entrance of Beast Taming Class Five.
Chen Shu was startled, surprised that his former homeroom teacher was looking for him.
"Old Li, what's up?" Chen Shu asked casually, crossing his arms behind his head.
"The past cannot govern the present."
He was now part of Beast Taming Class Five.
"You little brat, asking for a beating!"
Li Yuan smacked Chen Shu on the head, having no time for pleasantries.
He asked seriously, "Did you get into trouble? Someone from the Spirit Suppression Bureau is looking for you."
"Spirit Suppression Bureau?"
Chen Shu shivered. The Spirit Suppression Bureau's authority far surpassed that of the police.
"They're in my office right now."
The two hurried towards the office.
They saw Zhang Dali sitting with a man in a black T-shirt, seemingly having a pleasant conversation.
Upon seeing Chen Shu arrive, Zhang Dali stood up and said,
"Uncle Wang, this is my good friend Chen Shu, you can call him Chen Pi.
You didn't see how dangerous it was that day. The wanted criminal had a ferocious face, and his contracted spirit was extremely brutal. But were Chen Shu and I afraid?
We don't have many virtues, but we are righteous through and through!
Without hesitation, the two of us charged forward and beat the man soundly. The scene was incredibly bloody."
Zhang Dali spoke with great excitement, his saliva flying and his body occasionally twitching.
"Alright, alright!"
Wang Qian shook his head, looking speechless.
"I've watched you grow up, kid. I know what you're like."
His gaze shifted to Chen Shu, a look of admiration in his eyes.
"This young hero must have led the charge, right?"
Options appeared before Chen Shu again.
[Option One: Lower your head and respond humbly. Reward: A small amount of Beast Taming Power.]
[Option Two: Lift your nostrils and grunt lightly. Reward: Randomly upgrade one skill or talent of your contracted spirit.]
[Option Three: Cross your arms behind your back and say confidently: Uncle Wang, your insight is just one word – spot on! Reward: Golden Slime's all attributes +10%.]
Chen Shu pondered for a moment and decisively chose the third option.
Although the rewards for the first two options were excellent, they paled in comparison to the third.
Chen Shu looked at Wang Qian, then turned abruptly, his hands behind his back, and looked out the window.
"Uncle Wang, your insight is just one word – incredibly accurate."
Chen Shu recalled that day, his voice filled with excitement.
"That thug was too arrogant. In broad daylight, under the vast sky, he dared to cause trouble in front of me. If I can bear it, even my aunt can't!"
"I took out a urea bag and put it over his head, then proceeded to deliver a just judgment. A few well-placed blows left him completely disoriented."
"Stop! Stop!"
Wang Qian's expression turned odd, his mouth twitching.
"You two really grew up together.
These two fellows are pure lunatics, their thought processes are like those of aliens."
"Luckily, the hundred thousand yuan reward should be enough for them to get a thorough check-up at a major hospital."
"I wanted to ask you, how did you find his location?"
That day, the wanted criminal had only summoned his contracted spirit, while he himself was hidden in the crowd.
Let alone two students, even experienced beast tamers couldn't identify him quickly.
Unless the contracted spirit possessed relevant reconnaissance skills.
"I saw that man's evil look; he clearly wasn't a good person," Chen Shu said sincerely.
"I couldn't possibly say the system gave me guidance, that person was glowing red, almost blinding me."
"Just that reason?"
Wang Qian's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Could you be any more careless?
What if it wasn't him? Wouldn't you have attacked the wrong person?"
"It's fine, we put bags on their heads, so they couldn't see us."
Wang Qian:
Li Yuan:
The actions of the two were even more reckless than he imagined. They had simply gotten lucky? They had even thought of a fallback?
"Regardless, you did save Xu Xiaoyu, the daughter of 666 Medicine Company. If anything had happened to her, the Spirit Suppression Bureau would have been busy again."
"Here is the hundred thousand yuan reward from the Spirit Suppression Bureau."
Wang Qian lost any desire to question further.
These two were just like a blind cat catching a dead mouse.
He had initially thought Chen Shu's contracted spirit had awakened a divine reconnaissance skill,
but now it seemed that wasn't the case.
He also learned from Li Yuan that Chen Shu's contracted spirit was a Slime.
It was highly unlikely for such a contracted spirit to awaken high-level skills.
"Uncle Wang, isn't there going to be a city-wide report?" Zhang Dali asked with dissatisfaction. He wasn't interested in the reward money but was fixated on gaining fame.
"A Level Nine beast tamer isn't enough for a city-wide report. Unless it was Black Iron level, if you truly want that, you can arrange a media interview yourself."
Wang Qian stood up and left the office.
The college entrance examination was approaching, and to prevent any disturbances, the Spirit Suppression Bureau would be very busy.
Although the city appeared calm on the surface, it was due to the covert protection of various official organizations.
"Teacher Li, can you arrange a school-wide announcement?" Zhang Dali asked pitifully.
"If I can't gain fame city-wide, at least I can become famous within the school."
"You guys actually captured a wanted criminal?"
Li Yuan felt it was like a fairy tale. These two had saved Xu Xiaoyu, the top student in their grade, and captured a Level Nine beast tamer?
"No need to doubt it, Old Li, it's completely by chance!" Zhang Dali said, courting disaster.
"Huh? What did you just call me?"
Li Yuan's expression suddenly became stern, and his fierce demeanor made Zhang Dali flinch.
"Teacher Li," Zhang Dali lowered his head.
"You don't need to enjoy this three-day college entrance exam break. Go back and copy my history notes ten times!" Li Yuan said sternly.
"If I can't control Chen Pi, I can still control you!"
Zhang Dali's head drooped.
