"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. What kind of talk was this?
A genius from Huaxia Academy was going to jail?
"Alright, as long as you don't interfere with the exam, you can do whatever you want!"
Chen Shu's grades were already predetermined to be first place. Having him attend was merely a formality.
If he were to miss the exam again, how could Liu Manzi maintain his authority?
"Fine!"
Chen Shu nodded, and silently took out his barbecue grill, planning to barbecue inside the Beast Taming Hall...
"Get lost!"
Liu Feng turned his head abruptly and roared,
"This is a Beast Taming Hall, not a snack street! If you dare to barbecue, I'll skewer you!"
"..."
Chen Shu shook his head. Why was his temper so bad...
He could only carry his combat pack and leave the Beast Taming Hall first.
Without the troublemaker's interference, the practical exam was finally completed smoothly.
Thus, the first year of university came to an end...
The students welcomed their first summer vacation of university.
However, to prevent them from wasting time, the mentors had assigned tasks to each student.
July 9th,
A Liang and Wang Jue were packing their things, preparing to go home and rest for a while.
Chen Shu said, "I'm going to an异空间 (otherworld) during the summer vacation. Are you interested?"
"Otherworld?"
Upon hearing this, the two became interested, their faces showing a hint of excitement.
Chen Shu calmly added, "Nightmare-grade!"
"Uh..."
The smiles on their faces instantly froze.
A Liang said, "My grandfather isn't well, so I might have to go home and take care of him for a while!"
Wang Jue also nodded and said, "My father is indeed unwell, so I can't stay at school either!"
"Hmm?"
A Liang turned to look at him, laughing and cursing, "Can you not finish my sentence?"
Is he trying to take advantage of me by force?
Chen Shu said, "Alright, the danger of Nightmare-grade isn't that big!"
"Forget it!"
A Liang shook his head. He knew his own limits.
A Nightmare-grade otherworld would have at least Silver-grade fierce beasts.
They couldn't even defeat a small monster, so were they just looking to get beaten up?
"Have you ever seen a newborn warrior fight a dragon?"
Wang Jue also shook his head, completely uninterested.
He asked, "What are you going to a Nightmare-grade space for? To court death?"
"Nothing much, I took on a mission..."
The two packed their things that day and left the dormitory.
Chen Shu once again became the sole resident!
In the afternoon, Principal Qin Tian sent him the information about the otherworld.
"Otherworld: Icefire Forest."
"Grade: Nightmare."
"Surviving Fierce Beasts: Sky Ice Eagle, Crimson Flame Fire Tree, Icefire Blizzard Tiger, Extreme Flame Worm..."
"Spatial Treasures: Starfire Flower, Icefire Fruit..."
"King Fierce Beast: Unknown! Suspected to be Ice and Fire dual-attribute, possessing related true treasures!"
"Precautions: The environment within is harsh, divided into a Fire Domain and an Ice Domain. The temperature in the Ice Domain can reach minus thirty degrees Celsius, and the Fire Domain can reach fifty degrees Celsius. Various fierce beasts run rampant, extremely dangerous! Those below Silver-grade are not allowed to enter!"
"Otherworld History: Resurgence Era 336..."
"..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
When an otherworld reached Nightmare-grade, it would undergo earth-shattering changes.
The fierce beasts within would be violent and powerful, with Gold-grade Kings guarding them, making it impossible for humans to explore them fully, with mysterious areas still existing.
Otherworlds below Nightmare-grade could be seen as human-raised beasts, and even the most violent could be suppressed.
But Nightmare-grade was different. If the beasts went berserk, they would pose a great threat to humanity, possibly even invading Blue Star.
Gold-grade Kings required King-level Beast Tamers to deal with!
For ordinary Beast Tamers, the most obvious change in a Nightmare-grade otherworld was the environment.
In otherworlds below Nightmare-grade, ordinary people could still survive for a period of time.
But once it reached Nightmare-grade, there would be no need for fierce beasts to act; the environment alone could kill ordinary people.
"It's a bit dangerous!"
Chen Shu stroked his chin, sensing the complexity just from the description.
"I need to be well-prepared..."
According to the principal's instructions, Chen Shu could go at any time.
He did not rush, but instead went to various shops to buy laxatives, planning to concoct some "Southern Jiang Troublemaker" brand laxatives.
At the same time, he was also waiting for the materials for spatial potions.
With an increase in the strength of the Spatial Rabbit, his survival ability would at least be raised by another level.
July 20th,
Chen Shu, carrying his combat pack, headed to Beiyuan City in the north.
Over ten days, he had successfully concocted the basic-grade spatial potion, increasing the Spatial Rabbit's spatial attributes by 20%.
However, there were no materials to concoct the Black Iron-grade spatial potion.
Although they were also considered miscellaneous items and were very cheap, their quantities were too small.
Even Tianhua Group would need time to collect them all.
"Principal, I'm really leaving now!"
Chen Shu and Qin Tian walked through the empty academy.
The students now had either gone home or to otherworlds for adventure.
Qin Tian smiled and said, "It's okay, go ahead with confidence!"
"Let's discuss it again, how about giving me some rewards?"
Chen Shu was still a bit unwilling, saying, "After all, I, the Southern Jiang Troublemaker, have some reputation!"
One couldn't abandon money just for the sake of pride, right?
"This..."
Qin Tian stroked his chin. Sending a student who had just become Silver-grade to a Nightmare-grade otherworld...
It seemed unreasonable not to give any rewards.
"How about we give a reward?"
Qin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "How about I give you free meals at the first canteen next semester?"
"Forget it, the first canteen is already free!"
Chen Shu looked as if he was being teased.
Qin Tian said, "How about this, I'll give you twenty bottles of Silver-grade potions, alright?"
At the Silver-grade level, one bottle of potion would cost over a million Huaxia coins, and some rare potions would cost several million a bottle.
Raising a Silver-grade contracted spirit already required hundreds of millions.
"No need, please prepare twenty sets of materials for me, I'll concoct them myself!"
Chen Shu said. Currently, for Silver-grade potions, one set could only make one bottle, even the system was no exception.
"That's fine!"
Qin Tian nodded, not refusing.
"Principal, how much do you need me to do?"
Chen Shu asked, in case he couldn't control the degree and directly destroyed the Icefire Forest...
"Just perform as usual!"
Qin Tian smiled, extremely confident in Chen Shu's abilities. A troublemaker who could make Huaxia Academy a mess!
Chen Shu nodded and left, dragging his suitcase.
Qin Tian seemed to remember something and reminded him:
"Chen Shu, when you're out, don't use the name of Huaxia Academy. If anyone asks, just say you're from Modu Beast Taming University!"
