"No wonder Liu Feng could be your mentor!"
Everyone looked over in unison. It was rare to see someone who could trick Chen Shu.
Chen Shu declared, "One day, I will reclaim everything I've lost!"
"Chen Pi, are you alright?"
A voice called out as Fang Si arrived on the rooftop.
"Sister Fang Si!"
Everyone looked over, most of them recognized Fang Si.
Fang Si looked at Chen Shu, a sigh of relief escaping her. She then smiled and said,
"I thought I'd come to see you for the last time; I've already had a cremation urn custom-made!"
Chen Shu gave a dry chuckle and said, "Sister Fang Si, thank you..."
"Come, come, let's eat hot pot!"
Although Chen Shu had suffered a slight loss, everyone could at least eat hot pot safely.
Chen Shu asked, "By the way, Sister Fang Si, have you joined any clubs?"
"No, what's the point of joining that stuff? It's a waste of time!"
Fang Si picked up a slice of tender beef and looked at Chen Shu beside her.
A strange smile played on Chen Shu's lips as he said, "Conveniently, I have a club, would you like to join?"
"No, I won't join!"
Fang Si refused directly, without any hesitation.
"Why?"
"I'm too busy with my senior year. Your club is probably going to be universally hated, and I don't have time to deal with it!"
Fang Si smiled and said, "Besides, I have a premonition that your club's name is terrible!"
"Let me guess, Bandit Club? Nuke Club? Urea Bag Club?"
"???"
A group of people looked over in disbelief. They hadn't expected Fang Si to actually guess correctly!
"Uh... Urea Bag Club, nothing wrong with that, right?"
Chen Shu coughed and said, "Don't you think it's distinctive? It'll grab people's attention right away!"
"Forget it!"
Fang Si shook her head. It was indeed wise not to agree to join!
"It's a shame, Sister Fang Si, you've missed an opportunity to become world-famous!"
Chen Shu didn't try to persuade her further. Fang Si was indeed a senior and had her own matters to attend to.
The group sat around, enjoying the hot pot, laughter and joy filling the air.
However, happy times are always fleeting.
Around nine o'clock, everyone started to leave, returning to their respective schools and embarking on their individual journeys.
...
The next morning,
"Chen Pi, wake up! The class needs to gather today!"
A Liang and Wang Jue, dressed in their "mental patient" outfits, arrived at the living room.
However, there was no response!
"Sleeping so soundly?"
A Liang frowned and was about to knock when Wang Jue stopped him.
"Let me do it!"
He summoned his contracted spirit.
"Little Wang, why do you need me? Whose underwear are we stealing today?"
A grey bird with a mischievous look appeared and perched on the living room's chandelier.
"..."
Wang Jue's mouth twitched. Stealing underwear, my foot!
He said, "Wake up the person inside!"
"You're asking this great me for such a small matter?"
The grey bird pouted, "Two useless fellows!"
"I'll be damned!"
A Liang's fiery temper couldn't stand it. He was actually being looked down upon by a bird!
He directly pulled out a toilet brush, intending to shove the bird into the toilet.
"Brother A Liang! Don't be rash, don't be rash!"
Wang Jue tried to calm A Liang down, finally quelling his anger.
"Not much ability, but quite a temper! Youngsters, watch and learn!"
The grey bird cleared its throat and said calmly,
"Someone's here to steal urea bags!"
"..."
As soon as the words fell, rustling sounds immediately came from the room.
Two minutes later, Chen Shu indeed appeared in the living room...
"Ah, this..."
The two exchanged glances, not expecting this bird to have some real skills.
"You bird dare to trick me? Making me eat roast meat first thing in the morning?"
Chen Shu rubbed his sleepy eyes, a faint killing intent emanating from him.
"Little Wang, I want to go back!"
The grey bird shivered and hurriedly returned to its beast-taming space.
Wang Jue said, "Chen Pi, we need to talk about military training matters today! Hurry up and get ready!"
Chen Shu yawned and didn't pursue the matter further.
Half an hour later,
The three arrived in a classroom.
"Classmates, tomorrow we will begin our university military training!"
Qiao Yue said with a faint smile,
"It will last until September 30th. I hope everyone performs well."
Seeing the students' lack of enthusiasm, Qiao Yue added,
"Also, good performance in military training will earn you academic credits! And after military training, we'll have the National Day holiday!"
Instantly, the entire class erupted in cheers, smiles appearing on everyone's faces.
"Let's welcome your drill instructor, Xu Shan!"
Clap, clap, clap!
Amidst the applause, a man with a tall and sturdy build walked in, wearing a special Spirit Suppressing Army uniform.
"Hello everyone, my name is Xu Shan!"
The man's eyes were bright and sharp as he scanned each person.
"Hmm?"
His gaze locked onto Chen Shu and the other two, and his heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
His long-honed intuition told him that Chen Shu and the other two were not to be trifled with.
"I am the captain of the Spirit Suppressing Army from the [Barren Stone Forest]. I hope that in the coming days, you will all follow my arrangements!"
Xu Shan was brief and to the point, not saying much, just making their acquaintance before leaving the classroom.
Qiao Yue smiled and said,
"Today is free activity time. You can look up information about the Barren Stone Forest. You don't need to bring daily necessities; the Spirit Suppressing Army will provide them!"
Everyone dispersed and left the classroom.
"Chen Shu, come here for a moment!"
However, Qiao Yue called out to Chen Shu.
"Me?"
Chen Shu was a bit perplexed. He followed Qiao Yue into the corridor.
"Sister Qiao, what's wrong?"
"That..."
Qiao Yue cleared her throat and said, "Junior Chen Shu, do you have time for military training?"
"???"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. What did she mean by that?
"There's a spot in the class that allows students to be exempt from military training without losing academic credits."
Qiao Yue said, "I think, since the school has provided a spot, it shouldn't be wasted!"
"And you probably don't have time to participate, right?"
Chen Shu was beginning to understand Qiao Yue's intention. She wanted him to skip military training?
As he was about to reply, options appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Resolutely choose military training! Completion Reward: Large amount of Beast Taming Power]
[Option Two: Stay at school and blow up the freshman dormitories while everyone else is away! Completion Reward: Explosive Potion * 2]
[Option Three: Communicate with Liu Feng and successfully extort one thousand academic credits! Completion Reward: Obtain Title 'Fearless', Wearing Effect: Reduce fear of death!]
Chen Shu's lips twitched. He glanced at the other two options and directly locked onto the first one.
Although the latter two options were somewhat tempting, the problem was the life-threatening danger!
"Senior sister, no need, I have plenty of time!"
Chen Shu refused directly. After all the trouble of going to another dimension, she wanted him to back out?!
"Actually, military training isn't that important. I think you're already outstanding!"
Qiao Yue patiently persuaded him.
She was primarily worried about the safety of the Spirit Suppressing Army outpost and the other students.
Chen Shu had managed to wreak havoc in the dangerous-level [Living Wood Swamp]; the ordinary-level [Barren Stone Forest] really couldn't handle him!
