"You're really something else!"
The four of them all made a universal gesture.
In fact, they had never seen Chen Shu cultivate, and it had become a global mystery.
Before long, the group arrived at the airport and embarked on their journey to Blue Sea City.
In the afternoon, Chen Shu and the others successfully arrived at their destination.
They emerged from the airport and, gazing at the bustling traffic, were filled with excitement.
Blue Sea City was a first-tier metropolis, incredibly prosperous, and it also held a special title: the City of the God of Cookery.
The first reason was that the champions of the God of Cookery Cup for three consecutive sessions had all hailed from Blue Sea City, attracting countless spiritual chefs.
The second reason was that the three dimensional spaces within the city were all oceanic in terrain. Although more dangerous than dimensional spaces of the same level, the meat of oceanic ferocious beasts was exceptionally delicious, making them the spiritual chefs' first choice. This led to more spiritual chefs than beast tamers in the city, many of whom were high-level spiritual chefs.
Xie Sunan turned to look at him and said, "Dali, you're something else, about to become the new God of Cookery?" He clearly knew the city's moniker.
"Are you stupid..."
Zhang Dali turned and replied, "The God of Cookery Cup is a global competition for spiritual chefs, and the contestants are at least Gold-level spiritual chefs. I'm just Black Iron-level; I don't even qualify to be an assistant!"
"Uh..."
Xie Sunan's mouth twitched. He had thought the other man was there to contend for the title of God of Cookery.
Zhang Dali lifted the iron pot in his hand and said, "I'm participating in the New Star Cup, a competition jointly organized by five cities. It's entirely different from the God of Cookery Cup."
Chen Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, we believe in you. You're the man who will become the God of Cookery sooner or later!"
"God of Cookery?"
Just then, a teasing voice echoed.
"Hmm?"
The four of them paused slightly. They saw a young man wearing glasses approaching. His expression was calm as he surveyed the four of them and said, "You must be Zhang Dali, right?"
Zhang Dali asked, "You know me? Who are you?"
"Hmm? You don't recognize me?!"
The young man chuckled and said, "I am Lu Shuang, a top student from Blue Sea Spiritual Chef University! Young Master Du specifically asked me to tell you that he has secured the championship of the New Star Cup, so you can get out of Blue Sea City early!"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback and said, "So, you're just a messenger? I thought you were someone important!"
Xie Sunan also said with a smile, "No, why are you acting like a big shot when you're nobody?"
Xu Xingxing sized him up and said, "A toad wearing glasses, are you impersonating a university student..."
"You're playing with fire!"
Lu Shuang's heart burned with anger, his body trembling slightly. "This is Blue Sea City. Don't be too arrogant! You can't afford the price of offending the Du family!" Lu Shuang's eyes held a veiled threat.
"The Du family of Blue Sea City?!"
Chen Shu's expression shifted, his eyes showing apparent fear.
"Now you're scared?"
Lu Shuang felt a surge of satisfaction. Finally, someone recognized the Du family's name.
"My apologies, please come here for a moment, and I'll give you a treasure."
Chen Shu's lips curved into a strange smile, and he immediately opened his combat backpack.
"Hmm?"
Lu Shuang blinked, thinking, *Is he trying to bribe me?* His eyes darted around, and he leaned closer, his anger slightly abating.
"Do you prefer yellow or blue?"
"What?"
"Let's assume you prefer yellow!"
As soon as he spoke, a dark bag opening appeared before Lu Shuang, seemingly filled with an aura of sin. In an instant, Chen Shu, holding a yellow urea bag, accurately and expertly covered the man's head.
"Damn it!"
Lu Shuang's head was covered, plunging him into darkness as he instinctively struggled.
"That'll teach you to show off!"
"Didn't you even bother to find out our identities before threatening us with the Du family?"
Chen Shu delivered a kick and exclaimed, "When have I, Yu Yi, ever been afraid?!"
Xu Xingxing, understanding the sentiment, threw a punch and said, "I, Wang Heng, await your Du family in the capital!"
"Hmph! I, Chen Shu, am also not afraid!"
Xie Sunan delivered a mighty blow, spitting out fierce words.
"???"
Chen Shu was slightly stunned, his eyes filled with question marks. *Everyone else is using fake enemy names here; why are you using my name?!*
'Uh... it's a habit..."
Xie Sunan gave a dry laugh, instinctively blurting out Chen Shu's name. Chen Shu glared at him, *What do you mean, it's a habit?! How many times have I been framed?!*
It took a full ten minutes for airport staff to arrive and witness the scene.
"What are you doing?!"
Chen Shu smiled, removed the urea bag, and said, "Just messing around, just messing around."
"Just messing around?"
The staff member looked at the beaten Lu Shuang, whose face was bruised and swollen. Lu Shuang was about to say something when his gaze fell upon the weapon in Chen Shu's right hand – it was a butcher knife!
"Yes, we all know each other. It's just messing around!"
Lu Shuang trembled, wiped his nosebleed, and said with a smile.
"Young people nowadays really push the limits. They've been beaten this badly, and they're still calling it messing around..."
The staff member shook his head and left.
"..."
Lu Shuang's mouth twitched. *You actually believe that.* He already had regrets. He had initially thought they were just ordinary university students and, relying on the Du family's status, could easily subdue them. But who would have thought they were so outrageous? What ordinary university student carried a butcher knife around?!
Chen Shu silently put away the butcher knife and said with a smile, "You're quite sensible!"
"Brother, I was wrong..."
Lu Shuang lowered his head, not daring to meet their eyes, and said, "I was just delivering a message..."
Chen Shu asked, "Then why were you so arrogant?!"
"According to convention, shouldn't envoys not be killed in battle?"
"Did you get stupid from studying?! Your Bandit Brother never follows conventions. Get lost!"
