"The reward for fixing matches is surprisingly small?"
Chen Shu touched his chin. Did they think ten million Huaxia coins was nothing?
"What fix matches?"
Wang Jue came over, catching his murmur.
"Fix matches?!"
A Liang turned, shocked. "You're not actually planning that, are you?"
"How could I be? Do I look like someone who fixes matches?!"
Chen Shu shrugged and shook his head.
Once he won the championship, he would receive a hundred million Huaxia coins, plus two thousand credits, and a special skill for his husky.
With such generous rewards, only a fool would refuse!
Chen Shu tidied his backpack and asked, "Are you guys going to my finals tonight?"
"Of course! We definitely are!"
The two nodded in unison. As the most exciting match in the Dou Ling Arena, countless people would surely be there.
"Um, do you have any inside tickets? Preferably front row!"
A Liang rubbed his hands together and asked.
Chen Shu replied, "If you come with me, you can enter the Dou Ling Arena directly. Why would you need tickets?"
A Liang grinned. "You don't know, tonight's tickets are impossible to get. They're going for ten thousand on the black market. I was just thinking of making some money..."
"Get lost!"
Chen Shu sighed and chided, "A Liang, you're a genius from Huaxia Academy. Acting as a scalper? That's a disgrace to the academy!"
"Or are you planning to become one yourself?"
A Liang crossed his arms, seeing right through Chen Shu's facade.
"How could that be?!"
Chen Shu said righteously, inwardly lamenting that he should have asked the Dou Ling Arena for some inside tickets earlier!
"Let's get ready to go!"
Wang Jue was already impatient.
"Wait a minute, I'll get more people. Tonight is when I'm crowned king, how can there not be enough people?!"
Chen Shu pulled out his phone and notified everyone he knew!
Half an hour later,
Everyone from Beast Taming Class Three had gathered at the school gate!
"Is the Dou Ling Arena's annual competition tonight really about Chen Shu?"
"It seems to be him. This competition is incredibly prestigious! The beast tamers who win the championship are already at the peak of the Black Iron level."
"But isn't he only a two-star Black Iron? Is he that strong?"
"Why do you think he's held onto the top spot in his grade?"
Everyone in Class Three was discussing, amazed by Chen Shu's combat power, not expecting him to be so formidable.
"Students, let's go!"
Qiao Yue announced, having specially rented a large bus.
On one hand, it was to cheer for Chen Shu, and on the other, it was to boost class cohesion.
The group boarded the bus, still discussing Chen Shu.
"Senior Sister Qiao Yue is really great!"
Chen Shu grinned, surprised that the entire class was coming to watch his match.
He also boarded the bus, nodding to each classmate, showing no hint of arrogance.
Chen Shu and his two friends went to the back row. He called the Dou Ling Arena staff.
"Hello, Uncle Li! Is it okay if I bring a few people?"
"No problem, your viewing seats have been reserved!"
...
Half an hour later,
The members of Beast Taming Class Three arrived at the entrance of the Dou Ling Arena.
"Chen Pi!"
A voice called out. Xu Xingxing, Xie Sunan, Xu Xiaoyu, Wang Qinghan, and others had all arrived.
Most importantly, each of them had brought a large group of people with them...
"Holy crap, what's this?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened, a bad feeling dawning on him...
"Aren't we good brothers? To support you, I specially invited most of the people from the grade!" Da Feng Novel Network
Xu Xingxing slung an arm around Chen Shu's shoulder, a wide smile on his face.
"We all agreed, we must give my brother some face!"
Xie Sunan also leaned in.
He brought the smallest group, only about ten people, perhaps because the reputation of the "Nanjiang Bandit" had already spread throughout their school.
"This is our genius, the Nanjiang Bandit!"
"Hello, Bandit Brother!"
Countless people called out in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity, eager to see the genius.
"There's a crucial issue!"
Chen Shu scanned the crowd and asked seriously:
"Does everyone have tickets?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him with confusion.
Xu Xingxing asked puzzled, "What tickets?"
"Don't tell me none of you bought tickets!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He suspected that these people weren't here to support him but just to get free tickets,
Who wouldn't want to watch a free match?
"Aren't you a participant in the match? You must have seats for family and friends!"
"..."
Chen Shu rubbed his forehead, feeling a slight headache.
Did their family and friends bring over a thousand people?!
"Wait a moment, let me make a call!"
Chen Shu shook his head and dialed Uncle Li's number at the Dou Ling Arena.
"Hello, Uncle Li!"
"Xiao Chen, what's up?"
"Is it possible that you actually reserved over a thousand seats for me?"
"???"
The other end fell into a profound silence...
Before Chen Shu could say anything more, the phone call ended with a series of beeps.
"It's over, how did so many people show up!"
Chen Shu felt a bit dizzy. If they had to buy tickets from scalpers, how much would that cost?
Before long, Uncle Li hurried to the outside of the Dou Ling Arena.
"Damn, kid, you're outrageous! You said you were only bringing a few people?"
Uncle Li was stunned upon seeing the dense crowd around Chen Shu.
"I only reserved thirty seats for you..."
"Uh..."
Chen Shu scratched his head and tentatively suggested, "If it's really not possible, can your staff all come out?"
"???"
Uncle Li turned to look at him, thinking if that was something a person would say.
"Uncle Li, I think it's doable!"
A Liang chimed in, earnestly saying, "We can all help maintain order. You can pull out your staff, leaving only someone for the award ceremony."
"..."
Uncle Li's mouth twitched. He took out his phone and said,
"Let me ask the馆主 (owner/manager) for approval!"
To his surprise, the馆主 actually agreed!
"Old Liu, I've given you enough face, haven't I!"
Inside the Dou Ling Arena at this moment, the馆主 looked at the short-haired man beside him.
"You have. Thanks. I'll send you a golden urn later!"
"Scram!"
In the end, the Dou Ling Arena withdrew most of its staff.
"Actually, the main thing is to maintain order. Everything else is minor!"
Uncle Li said, "By the way, does anyone here know how to host? You can substitute for the announcer..."
"I can do it!"
Xu Xiaoyu stepped forward. Her image and demeanor were perfectly suited to be an emcee.
"Let's watch the match!"
A group of people shouted in unison and headed into the Dou Ling Arena, ready to act as tonight's staff.
Chen Shu and the others also entered the Dou Ling Arena.
He quickly walked to Uncle Li's side, rubbed his hands, and asked,
"Uncle Li, that warehouse of the Dou Ling Arena..."
