Chen Shu sighed and said, "Uncle Zhang, don't mind the details!"
Everyone shook their heads and smiled, already very familiar with Chen Shu's personality.
Regardless, Chen Shu was now the number one in his third year, just like Fang Si back then, and even more outstanding.
Because he used an F-class slime.
Da Li had become a student at the Kyoto Spirit Chef University, Little Fang Si was now a Royal Dragon Guard, and Chen Pi was at least at a prestigious university!
Zhang Feng couldn't help but sigh, "The younger generation nowadays is much more capable than us."
Chen Ping, Chen Shu's father, his eyes full of smiles, said,
"I've always said that the younger generation has their own opportunities; we shouldn't interfere too much!"
After a few rounds of drinks, everyone had eaten their fill, and the elders sat on the sofa chatting about everyday matters.
Fang Si picked up her bag and said, "Chen Pi, come with me for a moment!"
The three of them left the house and went for a walk in the neighborhood.
The night breeze was gentle but carried a chilling sensation.
The current climate had almost reached the coldest time of the year.
Chen Shu and Zhang Da Li couldn't help but shiver.
Chen Shu asked, "Why is it so cold?!"
Zhang Da Li quickly nodded in agreement, his legs trembling.
"There's a longing that's like looking through autumn water, and a cold that's like forgetting to wear long johns. Can you two show some respect for winter?"
Fang Si said, while taking out a vial of potion from her bag.
She handed it to Chen Shu and said,
"Take this! Consider it a New Year's gift from your big sister!"
Chen Shu's expression stiffened. He took the potion and saw that
there was no brand name on it, only a line of text: Serial Number 003!
"Sister Fang Si, where did you get this from, some shady factory?"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Looking at the black potion inside, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Fang Si patted his head and said, "What shady factory! This was specially researched by Huaxia University. Drink it quickly!"
"Okay!"
With that, Chen Shu directly opened the potion bottle, ready to chug it down.
"Are you seriously that messed up?"
Fang Si's eyes widened, and she stopped him first.
"This is for the contracted spirit to drink. What are you drinking this for?!"
This was the first time she had seen someone so absurd. Did he think this was a health supplement?
"Uh, I thought it was for strengthening the body."
Chen Shu reacted. With a thought, the space beside him suddenly ripped open, revealing a pair of adorably naive big eyes.
He directly poured the potion into the slime's mouth.
A moment later, the slime fell into a deep sleep, clearly affected by the potion.
Chen Shu seemed to recall something and asked, "By the way, what is this potion for?"
Fang Si said, "It can probably increase all attributes by 10%, but it needs to digest overnight."
Chen Shu's spirits soared. All attributes?!
He thought it was some minor potion and didn't take it seriously, but he didn't expect it to increase all attributes. This was equivalent to a direct 10% increase in combat power.
He didn't need to think to know that such a potion was incredibly precious, even within Huaxia University.
Chen Shu said gratefully, "Sister Fang Si, I..."
Fang Si waved her hand, "Just do your best in the college entrance examination and don't let anyone look down on you!"
"No, what I mean is, can you get a wholesale deal? I want to start a company! With such a powerful product, wouldn't it be able to dominate the potion market?"
Chen Shu's eyes lit up, already envisioning a bright future.
"You are truly outrageous!"
Fang Si gave him a thumbs-up. The raw materials for such things were extremely precious and not affordable for ordinary people, otherwise, the country would have promoted them long ago.
"And here you are, thinking about dominating the market the first thing you do."
"Chen Pi, I have something to give you too!"
Zhang Da Li said from the side, taking out a large bag of buns.
"Uh, is this breakfast for tomorrow? I'll heat it up when I get back."
Chen Shu took it and took out one.
"What's the filling?"
"You'll know when you taste it."
Chen Shu took a bite and his eyes widened. He instantly spat out the bun in his mouth.
The sheer awfulness of it made Chen Shu suspect he was eating feces.
"What the hell is this? Dark cuisine!"
"I thought you could eat anything."
Zhang Da Li said with a smile, explaining, "This is also for your slime to eat, called Da Li Buns! Eat one every day for a month, and it can increase strength by about 2%."
"A month is a course, right?"
Chen Shu put the bitten bun back and said,
"Alright, Da Li, you've learned the Beast Taming Cuisine in half a year?"
Zhang Da Li sighed and said, "This is all I can do."
In half a year, he had done nothing else but make buns.
Normally, Beast Taming Cuisine wouldn't show results within a month; it required long-term consumption.
However, the Spirit Chef University had been researching how to make food effective quickly.
The professors at the university wanted to elevate the status of Spirit Chefs to be on par with Alchemists.
The two were actually similar in principle: using techniques and methods to fuse various materials and create things that enhance the strength of contracted spirits.
It's just that one used herbs as raw materials, and the other used the flesh of fierce beasts.
"I also have gifts for you guys!"
Chen Shu said earnestly,
and took out two urea bags from his own bag.
Their expressions froze, and they said, "Thank you."
As expected, it was urea bags again!
"Huh?"
Fang Si's expression suddenly stiffened, and she immediately sensed something was wrong.
She opened the urea bag and saw several large bottles of potions inside.
These were the seven types of potions Chen Shu had mastered to the Grandmaster level, capable of increasing the cap by an additional 25%.
"My contracted spirits are already maxed out."
Fang Si said. As a genius from Huaxia University, both of her contracted spirits had been cultivated to perfection.
The basic potions in the urea bags had long since reached their upper limits.
Chen Shu grinned and said, "They can still eat more!"
Fang Si was slightly stunned, then understood something.
She nodded and carefully put away the urea bags.
As expected, Chen Shu had a secret!
Chen Shu said, "Da Li, there's a gift in your bag too!"
Zhang Da Li was stunned and opened the urea bag. Inside, he found a pig-slaughtering knife.
Chen Shu said, "I've been sharpening it every day, my hands are calloused! This is much better than a kitchen knife!"
"Sharpening it every day?!"
Zhang Da Li's eyes were filled with emotion. He didn't say much, just patted Chen Shu's shoulder.
He hadn't expected Chen Shu to be so thoughtful.
In fact, this was a pig-slaughtering knife that Xie Su Nan had lost to Chen Shu in a bet earlier.
