"I need to plan my future properly!"
Chen Shu lay on the bed, handing the blue heart in his hand to the Slime.
He had initially thought it was a water-attribute offensive skill, but it turned out to be a defensive one, making it less useful for Erha.
With 99% water attribute immunity, as long as the difference in strength between the two parties wasn't too great, their defenses would be practically impenetrable.
Even though it was a single attribute, its effect was still heaven-defying.
At least the Slime no longer needed to fear Golden Contract Spirits with water attributes.
Most importantly, immunity was different from resistance. The former applied even to skills that ignored resistance!
If paired with the talent [Elemental Adaptation], and with water attribute resistance stacked, it could even withstand King-level damage.
"Comprehend it well!"
Chen Shu patted the Slime's head and turned to continue mixing potions.
It was the basic-level Size Potion!
After blowing up the spatial channel in the [Earthfire Plain], his proficiency in Size Potions had leveled up to Grandmaster.
A moment later, Chen Shu finished mixing.
He held a bottle of Size Potion in his hand, and a message appeared in his mind:
[Grandmaster Effect: Grants Contract Spirits 'Damage Immunity.' The larger the size, the higher the attached value.]
"This effect..."
Chen Shu's eyes were filled with joy.
If it had attached defense, he might not have been so excited.
But damage immunity was entirely different.
Whether it was physical strikes, elemental skills, or true damage skills, the damage would be reduced.
Moreover, its effect was directly proportional to Little Yellow's size.
This meant that the bigger it got, the more resilient Little Yellow would become!
In the past, when Little Yellow's size increased, while it enhanced the effects of skills like [Charge] and [Violent Mount Kill], it also made it harder to dodge enemy skills, forcing it to tank the hits.
Its massive size was like a double-edged sword, but the current Size Potion effectively compensated for its shortcomings.
"I wonder what the specific effect is..."
Chen Shu summoned Erha, deciding to test the damage immunity value added by the potion.
In the evening, in Chen Shu's room,
"Gu ji! Gu ji!"
Little Yellow poked its head out. Its panel now sported a new talent:
[Iceward: Can immunize 99% of water attribute damage.]
A simple line of text, but with heaven-defying effects!
Roar!
Erha's eyes flashed with light, releasing [True Damage Ice Spikes] all directed at Little Yellow's head.
Bang!
A faint blue light appeared in Little Yellow's dazed, cute eyes.
The next instant, the ice spikes instantly exploded.
Yet, Little Yellow's head remained completely unmarked, easily blocking the attack.
"Heaven-defying!"
Chen Shu smiled, satisfaction in his eyes. He even entertained a fantasy:
Having [Iceward] implied the existence of [Fireward], [Thunderward], and so on.
If, in his lifetime, he could truly collect them all, what kind of effect would that have?!
Perhaps a Golden Slime would truly be legendary for its immortality...
"Erha, use some other skills."
Chen Shu shook his head, regaining his composure, and then began testing the effects of the Size Potion.
Ultimately, based on the size of the wounds and Little Yellow's discomfort, he roughly concluded:
The Size Potion provided Little Yellow with 3% damage immunity in its normal state and 10% damage immunity when enlarged.
"The effect is good."
Chen Shu nodded. The correlation between size and damage immunity wasn't a direct proportion. Naturally, the stronger the effect, the harder it was to stack; it was impossible to achieve 100% immunity.
But for now, the potion's utility was immense.
"World Championship is secured!"
Chen Shu muttered to himself, then began contemplating his future path.
"Perhaps I should try finding an internship?"
He stroked his chin and then opened his computer.
Although he was a Beast Tamer, his experience was essentially the same as ordinary people.
"I need to create a dazzling resume first!"
Chen Shu grinned and then sent a message to Liu Feng:
[Teacher Liu, what should I pay attention to when writing a resume?]
Liu Feng, who was walking on the road, saw the message and smiled, replying:
[Be truthful, don't fabricate!]
[Ok :)]
Chen Shu grinned and then eagerly began writing his resume.
...
Time flew by, and it was suddenly the hot month of May.
Students of all grades in the academy continued their educational journeys.
The World Beast Taming Competition was only relevant to a very small number of people; the rest were too far removed from it.
"Why isn't anyone replying to me!"
Chen Shu sat on the sofa, idly waiting.
Over three days, he had sent out dozens of resumes, but there had been no response.
"Could I really be that bad?"
Chen Shu scratched his head, his eyes suddenly filled with self-doubt.
Logically, his reputation as the number one in the country should have made countless companies eager to recruit him.
Yet now, there was no interest?
"Did I miss any steps?"
He looked at his resume and muttered, "This thing is practically perfect!"
"Chen Pi!"
At that moment, the balcony window was opened.
Qin Tian walked in alone, his expression extremely serious.
Chen Shu smiled and said, "Principal, why are you here?"
"What have you been up to lately? People keep filing complaints with me!"
Qin Tian rubbed his forehead. He remembered Chen Shu hadn't left the school recently.
Could this guy already be causing trouble remotely?
"Complaints? What complaints?"
Chen Shu was also completely bewildered. He really hadn't done anything during this period.
"They're asking me to call the police on you, saying our academy has cultivated a notorious outlaw."
There was a hint of helplessness in Qin Tian's eyes.
He sat down on the sofa, his gaze filled with resignation.
He couldn't very well accuse them of slandering China's academy, could he?
When the judge asked how they had slandered it, would he have to say that the other party had merely stated the facts...
"No way."
Chen Shu's expression was one of confusion, and he said, "I've been diligently looking for a job during this time."
"It's really hard to find a job these days, I've submitted so many resumes."
He shook his head. Life was truly difficult, sighed the outlaw...
"No way? Let me see your resume!"
Qin Tian's expression faltered, his eyes filled with suspicion.
Given Chen Shu's talent and strength, he could fully serve as the chief Beast Tamer for a major corporation in the future.
"Here!"
Chen Shu handed over a paper copy and gave it to Qin Tian.
Qin Tian's expression was initially calm, but it gradually began to change.
After a while, his expression became incredibly strange; he could barely maintain his composure...
Chen Shu asked, "Principal, what's with that expression?"
"Is this really your resume?!"
Qin Tian took a deep breath and asked, "Are you sure it's not a guide to prison?"
