The new students were all taken aback, their gazes falling strangely upon Wang Zhenlong.
*Instructor, is this the person you wanted to commend...*
"Uh..."
Wang Zhenlong's mouth twitched. *You really can't change your nature, can you!*
Just as he was about to lecture Chen Shu,
He noticed the latter's gaze was fixed on a beast tamer who had come to explore.
*Could those words just now not have been directed at the classmates?*
Wang Zhenlong asked, "Chen Shu, what's going on?"
"Report, instructor, his identity is problematic!"
Chen Shu said directly. He had distinctly sensed killing intent in the eyes of that passerby beast tamer just now.
"Check his identity!"
Wang Zhenlong raised an eyebrow, ultimately choosing to believe Chen Shu.
The man's expression shifted slightly, and he said, "What do you want?"
Two Zhen Ling Army soldiers stepped forward and said, "Please cooperate with us!"
In the end, the man, with no other choice, could only allow them to verify his identity.
But the result was unexpected. His identity was legitimate and reasonable; he was just an ordinary Iron rank beast tamer.
After his identity was checked, the man seemed a little fearful and turned to leave the异空间 (dimensional space).
"Was my feeling wrong?"
Chen Shu frowned and could only shake his head.
It was a shame he was in the stronghold now, otherwise, he would have made a move and taken him down first.
Wang Zhenlong's mouth twitched. *He actually believed Chen Shu? A miscalculation!*
He took a deep breath and said,
"Alright, Chen Shu's words just now were directed at that person and were not aimed at the other classmates."
"Yes!"
Chen Shu said loudly, but his actions continued to convey a negative.
"..."
Wang Zhenlong shook his head, wanting nothing more than to skip past this guy.
"Now that military training is nearing its end, your roles will change!"
His gaze swept over each of the new students, and he said with a smile,
"From now on, you are the Zhen Ling Army of this stronghold, responsible for all defense duties. We will no longer participate!"
"This stronghold is your home, and the responsibility of resisting fierce beasts falls upon you!"
Although the Zhen Ling Bureau stronghold was equivalent to the territory of a powerful creature in the eyes of fierce beasts,
There were always reckless individuals who would attempt sneak attacks.
There were once fierce beasts that dared to defecate on a king's head, so a sneak attack on a Zhen Ling Army stronghold was not considered anything significant.
Chen Shu's expression jolted, and his eyes immediately lit up.
He rubbed his chin, a smile involuntarily appearing,
*The stronghold is my home now?*
Wang Zhenlong, however, did not notice Chen Shu's ruffian demeanor and continued,
"Each dormitory will form a patrol team. The instructors of each class will now assign patrol locations and times!"
In the afternoon,
Chen Shu and the other three, clad in military uniforms, were patrolling the vicinity of the stronghold.
A Liang asked, "Chen Shu, what was wrong with you this morning? Was there something wrong with that person?"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "That person wanted to kill me!"
"Oh!"
The other three showed no excessive reaction, as if hearing something extremely commonplace.
"Aren't you surprised?!"
Chen Shu raised his eyebrows and said,
"I'm a student! Someone wanting to kill me, isn't that outrageous?!"
"Isn't it very normal?"
A Liang said, "If the killing intent was directed at someone else, it would definitely be outrageous, as we are all students and usually make minor mistakes."
"But you are different; you are a notorious bandit!"
Wang Jue and Xie Fengyu both nodded in complete agreement.
"Chen Shu, don't overthink it. Maybe the other person was just a bounty hunter, specializing in hunting criminals!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He had expected the three to be surprised, but they were completely indifferent.
He shook his head and stopped thinking about it,
That person was only Iron rank before. As long as he dared to provoke him, he could be buried on the spot.
Xie Fengyu noticed something was amiss and said,
"Chen Shu, our patrol location isn't this way. Are we lost?"
"We're definitely lost!"
Chen Shu replied, "We're heading to the Zhen Ling Bureau's treasury!"
"???"
The three looked at him with puzzled expressions. *What are you trying to do?*
"Didn't the instructor say this morning that the stronghold is my home? I'm just taking some of my own things; it's not illegal, right?"
"You absolute... You're not wrong about that!"
The three's eyes widened. They hadn't expected Chen Shu's thinking to be so peculiar.
"I think it's perfectly fine!"
A Liang was the first to raise his hand in agreement, his eyes showing an eagerness to try.
Wang Jue also nodded, patting the small grey bird on his shoulder and saying,
"I can carry stuff; let me!"
Xie Fengyu, however, was somewhat at a loss and said,
"Is it okay for us to do this? I don't think that's what the instructor meant..."
He was speechless in his heart. They were supposed to guard the stronghold,
But the three of you, on the other hand, want to empty it first? Then what's the point of guarding it?
Are the enemies within?
"Little Xie, fortune favors the bold! If anything happens, I, the Nanjiang Ruffian, will take responsibility!"
"???"
Xie Fengyu's mouth slightly parted. The moment he heard that, his heart began to panic.
Ten minutes later,
Four figures flew up and then crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Are you guys that desperate for money?"
Wang Zhenlong's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected someone to attempt to raid the stronghold's treasury in broad daylight!
"Take whatever you want, you really think the stronghold is your home?"
"Instructor..."
Chen Shu rubbed his chest and said aggrievedly, "We were just trying to patrol to see if there were any issues in the treasury."
"Get out! I've been in the treasury the entire time!"
Wang Zhenlong said, "I now believe the biggest enemy of the stronghold is not the fierce beasts, but you four. As long as we guard against you, the stronghold will be safe!"
"..."
Chen Shu and the others left dejectedly. With a Golden rank beast tamer guarding it, they had no hope.
The four returned to their designated patrol area.
Chen Shu rubbed his chin and said, "I think we can make a move tonight. He has to sleep sometime, right?"
"What do you guys think?"
The other three fell silent, showing no desire to respond.
"I believe perseverance is the excellent quality that us youths of the new era should possess!"
"..."
"If anything goes wrong, I, the Nanjiang Ruffian, will take responsibility!"
"Get lost!"
The three exchanged a synchronized international gesture.
Especially Xie Fengyu, who probably would never believe that sentence again in his life...
"Let's just focus on military training. I don't want to stir up trouble anymore."
A Liang shook his head, his body aching terribly.
Wang Zhenlong had given the four a good beating. Chen Shu's body could withstand it, but the other three couldn't.
"I agree! If we cause any more trouble, my medical insurance card will truly be out of balance!"
