The soup was black, but everything else appeared perfectly normal.
"They're back!"
A Liang and the other two had finished their errands outside and returned to the dormitory.
Chen Shu grinned and said,
"Back? Try my new cuisine!"
"..."
A Liang and the other two stiffened, their expressions filled with extreme horror. They quickly waved their hands and said,
"No need, we've already eaten."
During this period, Chen Shu initially just stayed in the dormitory playing games.
However, when he saw on television that the new generation of Food God Cup was about to begin its preliminary selections,
He suddenly became interested and started researching cooking.
He was determined to win another world championship.
But this was torture for A Liang and the other two, who had become his unwilling guinea pigs.
In truth, Chen Shu wasn't a bad cook, but he believed he might not stand out with his current skills, so he decisively began researching new recipes.
With his wild imagination, all sorts of dark cuisines were born in an instant...
"Already eaten?"
Chen Shu's expression turned cold, and he said, "So, you're not giving me any face?"
"..."
A Liang and the other two froze. You're truly not leaving us any room to live, are you...
Chen Shu placed the soup on the table, scanned the three of them, and said,
"Old Wang, you didn't even eat the chocolate-flavored black-tailed scorpion I fried yesterday. You're first today!"
"..."
Old Wang's mouth twitched. He knew he would have to repay this sooner or later...
"I'll just have a taste, okay..."
Wang Jue forced a laugh, hesitantly took the chopsticks,
And his face turned almost green upon seeing the black liquid soup on the table.
"This is traditional Chinese medicine combined with juvenile Spirit-Claw Crabs. It's not only delicious but also nourishing!"
"Traditional Chinese medicine in a meat soup?!"
Wang Jue swallowed and said word for word, "You're something else, Chen Pi!"
"It's all talent, just talent..."
Chen Shu said with a humble expression, "I'm already feeling quite confident about the Food God Cup!"
"Brother A Liang, why don't you go first?"
Wang Jue was truly fearful and said, "I still lack a bit of courage..."
"You go, who else if not you!"
A Liang and Xiao Xing quickly waved their hands, distancing themselves from Wang Jue.
"..."
Wang Jue took a deep breath and slowly extended his chopsticks, thinking to himself:
The soup is definitely not to be drunk, who knows what Chinese medicine was used to boil it...
He could only try a bit of the Spirit-Claw Crab. At least it was a good ingredient, with very delicious meat.
But as his chopsticks neared,
The motionless Spirit-Claw Crab suddenly extended its claws and clamped onto his chopsticks...
In an instant, the atmosphere became somewhat frozen...
"Ah, this..."
Wang Jue's eyes widened. Isn't this a bit too ridiculous!
"Eat it quickly!"
Chen Shu urged from the side, "To ensure the freshness of the meat, I specifically made it this way!"
"???"
Wang Jue turned to look at him. Are you sure you're not joking?!
A Liang and Xiao Xing exchanged glances and retreated another two steps. They just wanted to call the police right now...
Wang Jue moved his chopsticks, but he couldn't pull them out.
The Spirit-Claw Crab seemed to have gotten angry and exerted a slight force. With a 'crack,' the chopsticks broke cleanly...
The scene before them stunned A Liang and the others for a hundred years. They would likely never forget this scene before their death...
"Brother, please spare me..."
Wang Jue's eyes twitched, and he said, "I've truly never done anything bad in my life..."
"..."
Chen Shu also fell silent. His cooking seemed to have failed a bit.
"Forget it, I'll try again next time!"
Chen Shu shook his head, opened Xiao Huang's beast-taming space, and poured the dark cuisine directly into it.
"Goo-jee! Goo-jee!"
Xiao Huang was delighted and swallowed it in one gulp, then fell into a deep sleep again.
"Truly amazing!"
A Liang and the others felt immensely fortunate. At least with Xiao Huang to take the fall, they didn't have to worry about the cuisine going to waste.
"Is your beast-taming team registration complete?"
Chen Shu clapped his hands and sat on the sofa.
"Yes, it's already registered!"
A Liang nodded, a hint of excitement in his eyes.
As graduation approached, the three of them finally decided not to join official organizations but to establish their own beast-taming team.
On one hand, it was to quickly acquire resources. The three of them had achieved top-four rankings in the world competition, and their teamwork was impeccable, making their beast hunting efficiency extremely high.
On the other hand, they wanted to hone their combat skills. Once they had truly grown, they would consider joining the Spirit Suppressing Army or the Dragon Taming Guards.
"A Liang, didn't your elders say anything about you?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. Would the old man allow his descendant to be a civilian beast tamer?
"They were against it at first."
A Liang sighed and said, "But when I told them that you weren't in the beast-taming team, they agreed."
"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. What was the meaning of that?
"They only hoped I wouldn't break the law or commit crimes. They had no other requirements."
A Liang shrugged and said, "As for the old man, he's always been in Longyuan and can't control me!"
"..."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "Are you sure you don't want me to join?"
He had originally wanted to join. After all, his Dragon Taming Guard position was only part-time, and he could fully join the beast-taming team, and the officials wouldn't interfere.
But his idea was rejected by A Liang and the others.
Although they were all Silver rank, the gap in combat power was too large. Not only would it cause problems with the distribution of spoils, but A Liang and the others would also not achieve the desired training effect.
"Don't ask about these kinds of things."
Xiao Xing said, "Do you think we are worthy of being in a beast-taming team with you?"
"..."
Old Wang and A Liang turned to look at him. Xiao Xing, you're so blunt...
