"Are you only going to manage me?"
Chen Shu frowned and said, "What if someone else provokes me? I don't have a habit of backing down."
"Don't worry."
Liu Feng said,
"The officials have reminded everyone individually. Just be mindful of each other, don't end up fighting amongst yourselves before the fierce beasts are wiped out."
"That's fine then."
Chen Shu nodded. "As long as others don't provoke me, I won't cause trouble. After all, killing fierce beasts is how I earn money."
"..."
Liu Feng's mouth twitched. Did he mean he wouldn't kill people because there was no money to be made?
"Uh, Old Liu, since I'm here, can you settle my training camp salary?"
Chen Shu's mind flickered, and he suddenly remembered this matter.
Liu Feng raised an eyebrow. "You're already so rich, why do you still care about this little bit?"
"Even a mosquito's leg is still meat!"
Chen Shu said seriously, "Besides, it's not primarily about the money, it's the compensation I deserve!"
"Alright, I'll transfer it to you now."
With that, Liu Feng took out his phone and started operating it.
"Then I'll be leaving."
Chen Shu stretched. As soon as he got up, he stopped.
He heard a notification sound from his phone: 'Chao Xin received 87 yuan.'
"???"
Chen Shu immediately turned his head to look over.
His mind went blank for a moment, thinking it was a transfer from someone else.
But when he looked, it was indeed Liu Feng...
"Old Liu, don't tell me this is my training camp salary?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. "Didn't you say fifty to two hundred billion? Even with my worst performance, I should get at least fifty billion."
"Uh... you yourself said it was fifty to two hundred billion, not fifty billion to two hundred billion..."
Liu Feng explained, "So the minimum is fifty yuan, and eighty-seven yuan is within that range..."
"???"
Chen Shu's expression froze. Was he kidding him?!
The next second, he got up and left without another word.
"Where are you going?"
"To plant nuclear bombs and take you with me!"
"..."
Liu Feng's mouth twitched, and he quickly stopped him, saying,
"Wait, wait! Actually, based on your performance, two hundred billion is not a problem."
"Is there another condition?"
Chen Shu stopped and turned to ask.
"One condition!"
Liu Feng cleared his throat and said, "Can you call me Teacher in public from now on? Don't call me Old Liu all the time."
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. "No, with our father-son relationship, do you still care about titles?"
Liu Feng explained, "The point is, if you don't call me Teacher, how will others know that I taught you?"
He didn't really care about Chen Shu's title, but others would notice.
The thought of others' admiring glances made him feel a little floaty...
"You're a bit vain, aren't you..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin and said, "I'll try my best, okay?"
"That's settled then!"
Liu Feng grinned and then transferred Chen Shu's two hundred billion reward.
"I'm leaving."
Chen Shu waved his hand and disappeared from the spot with a teleport.
...
When he reappeared, Chen Shu was already back in Nanjiang City and had entered the Spirit Chef Association.
"Chen Pi, you're only arriving now?"
Dali was not in seclusion researching but was waiting.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. "You knew I was coming?"
"The training camp is over, and you'll definitely be hunting fierce beasts, so you'll naturally come to me for things."
Dali grinned and then brought out a basin of frozen soup.
"The old man specifically asked me to keep this for you."
It was an advanced version of 'Soul Poison Chicken Soup', made with the essence and flesh of a legendary contracted spirit, which could awaken the Golden Monarch!
Dali said, "This portion is only available to two people in the country, and you're one of them. The old man thinks very highly of you."
"Two people? Who else?"
"The official pseudo-legend."
Dali shrugged and then said, "Keep up the good work! I think highly of you too!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. "Why are you so excited about me hunting fierce beasts?"
"This way, my ingredients will diversify."
Dali chuckled and said, "I'm hitting a bottleneck again, and I urgently need other ingredients to inspire me."
"..."
Chen Shu shook his head, turned around, picked up the soup, and left.
"I need to make a plan."
He returned to his room and opened his computer, preparing to arrange his schedule.
Chen Shu logged into his Beast Tamer Network account, his current authority was top-tier, allowing him to access various confidential information domestically and internationally.
"There are a total of forty-two Nightmare-grade异空间 (otherworldly spaces), twelve of which have lost their Monarchs..."
"There are twenty Destruction-grade异空间 (otherworldly spaces), and only three Monarchs have been hunted..."
He looked at the异空间 (otherworldly spaces) on the screen, with the spaces where Monarchs had fallen marked with prominent red crosses.
The Monarchs of both grades of异空间 (otherworldly spaces) were Golden level. It's just that Nightmare-grade Monarchs had ordinary bloodlines, equivalent to the strength of King level one to two.
Destruction-grade Monarchs had special bloodlines, equivalent to the peak of King level, and could be said to be the strongest except for Beast Emperors.
Since the plan began, the major powerhouses had organized seven or eight hunts, but only three were successful. The rest ended in failure, with significant casualties.
"There's a lot of room for me to perform..."
Chen Shu licked his lips, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"First, let's find Monarchs with Ice, Fire, and Lightning attributes..."
Little Yellow could essentially be immune to the damage of these three attributes, providing protection for the other contracted spirits and being an indispensable main force.
His combat power was roughly equivalent to King level one to two, but with the assistance of various divine skills and skill counters, he was capable of hunting Golden Monarchs.
Half a day later,
Chen Shu had formulated a hunting list and would proceed with them in order.
"Mom and Dad, I'm leaving."
He waved his hand and left home again.
"Be safe!"
His parents didn't stop him, just looked at him with reluctance.
Now that Beast Tamers across the country were taking action, Chen Shu naturally couldn't avoid it.
"[Demon Ice Mountain Range]..."
Chen Shu muttered to himself, his gaze turning towards Heilong City in the north.
Just as he was about to act, system options suddenly appeared before him.
"It's finally here?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Shu's eyes as he looked at the options.
[Option One: Hunt three Golden Monarchs! Completion Reward: Massive amounts of Beast Taming Power + Random Contracted Spirit's All Attributes +5%]
[Option Two: Hunt five Golden Monarchs! Completion Reward: Two Random Divine Skills + Four Contracted Spirits' All Attributes +3%]
[Option Three: Hunt ten or more Golden Monarchs! Completion Reward: Ten Free Skill Points + One Ultimate Skill Point!]
[Note: Free Skill Points are used to upgrade any skill other than Divine Skills. Ultimate Skill Points are used to upgrade any skill other than Divine Skills to maximum level.]
[Time Limit: Two months]
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback as he looked at the third option.
This was a new reward he had never seen before, allowing him to freely choose which skills to upgrade, enabling him to strengthen specific skills in a targeted manner.
However, the most important thing was the Ultimate Skill Point reward, which could upgrade a skill to its maximum level. This was likely an unprecedented improvement.
"You, you always come up with something new..."
Chen Shu shook his head, a hint of anticipation appearing in his eyes.
The next second, he teleported away from Nanjiang City and directly arrived at Heilong City, beginning his hunting expedition.
