"What are you yelling about over here?"
Qin Tian raised an eyebrow and asked teasingly, "Who else is there?"
"Did I say anything?"
Chen Shu pointed at himself and said, "Are you two hearing things?"
Realistically, he couldn't defeat both of them at the moment...
He could go all out against Silver-tier opponents, but would be timid against Gold-tier ones.
"I heard you're being targeted by the organization known as Dark Night?"
Liu Feng stepped forward and said with concern, "Are they okay?"
"???"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched as he sized up Liu Feng,
He wouldn't be surprised if a red light appeared on the other person.
Qin Tian said, "Try not to leave the academy before the World Championship to avoid any accidents."
"No way! If they don't find me, I'll find them!"
Chen Shu hadn't forgotten his options; he needed to destroy Dark Night's strongholds.
Now that Erha's [Clone] skill stone was at Lv4, another level up might lead to a qualitative leap.
"Are you looking to die by finding them?"
The two of them glared at him, thinking he was purely suicidal.
"Happy New Year's greetings!"
Chen Shu turned and left, saying, "Two big shots, I have something to do, so I'll be going now!"
"..."
The two looked at each other, feeling that this guy was becoming more and more unmanageable.
Qin Tian said, "Old Liu, keep an eye on him!"
"No problem!"
Liu Feng nodded and said, "If anything unexpected happens, I'll personally... bury him!"
"..."
Qin Tian's mouth twitched, "I meant for you to protect his safety!"
"The air quality in the academy has gotten worse, I suspect it's because you've scattered too much ashes!"
"..."
...
Chen Shu returned to his dorm and saw A Liang and Wang Jue already sitting on the sofa, watching television with great interest.
"You're back early?"
The two were startled, their eyes showing surprise. This wasn't the usual behavior of the Ruffian.
"Big deal!"
Chen Shu pouted and said, "By the way, have you received your rewards?"
"We've already used them up!"
A Liang sighed, "Resources are just not enough!"
Chen Shu comforted them, "It's okay, I still have some!"
"..."
"Hmm?"
A hint of hope appeared in their eyes. Was the Ruffian going to let them use it...
"You can... watch me use it!"
"..."
Chen Shu grinned and simultaneously instructed the Space Rabbit to throw out all the King's flesh and blood.
In an instant, the entire balcony was almost filled, likely equivalent to half a Gold-tier King.
A unique fragrance wafted out, instantly refreshing the three of them.
A Liang and Old Wang's eyes were filled with envy,
Especially A Liang; even with his family's support, his Snowball had only evolved its skills twice.
"Do your best!"
Chen Shu rubbed the rabbit's ears and told it to start devouring the King's flesh and blood.
Its innate weapon had already evolved three times, and it became more difficult with each subsequent level.
However, the improvements were also immense, not only introducing new effects but also enhancing previous attributes.
"Crunch, crunch!"
The Space Rabbit buried its head in the King's flesh and blood, looking blissful.
It was probably only by following Chen Shu that it could always eat such good things.
At the same time, Chen Shu summoned Erha again.
"Woof woof!"
Erha's eyes lit up, and it immediately focused on the flesh and blood on the balcony, rushing over.
However, Chen Shu restrained it with a Ruffian tackle and a chokehold.
"Woof!"
Erha's eyes were full of intelligence, and it stared at Chen Shu defiantly.
"What good is it for you to eat that stuff!"
Chen Shu rubbed its head and simultaneously took out four Silver-tier True Treasures.
Two were fire-attribute, one ice-attribute, and one wind-attribute. Each was worth at least a billion and could increase attributes by 10%.
Chen Shu originally wanted four fire-attribute ones to maximize damage.
Unfortunately, the official personnel had informed him that True Treasures of the same attribute would develop resistance, causing their effects to gradually diminish.
Chen Shu had no choice but to opt for a more balanced approach, as Erha was an all-attribute contract spirit.
"Swallow them!"
Chen Shu shoved all four True Treasures into Erha's mouth.
"Woof woof!"
Erha looked defiant and, as if in a fit of pique, forcefully spat them back out.
"Damn it! You wasteful creature!"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Why wouldn't it eat something so expensive?
"Woof!"
Erha looked disgusted, quickly ran to the water dispenser, wet its paws, and then started pawing at the sofa.
"Hmm?"
The three of them looked on with curiosity, wanting to see what Erha was about to do.
As time passed, their expressions solidified, and their minds buzzed.
On the sofa, four crooked characters appeared:
'Dog won't eat'
"..."
The three looked at each other, finding it utterly absurd.
Old Wang asked, "Is this thing really Erha?"
"Perhaps it's the extreme opposite?"
A Liang ventured, "Does extreme stupidity turn into intelligence?"
Bang!
Just then, the door opened, and Xiao Xing walked in, dragging a suitcase.
Chen Shu asked, "Xiao Xing, why are you here?"
"I've completed my transfer procedures, and the academic affairs office has assigned me to this dorm."
Xiao Xing put his luggage in a corner and asked, "What are you three doing?"
"Xiao Xing, come quickly and see the pinnacle of huskies!"
Xu Xingxing leaned over, his expression also shocked, staring intently at Erha.
After a moment, he slowly said, "I've seen this dog before!"
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"It sat in front of me during the college entrance examination."
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched and he said, "Get out of here!"
Saying that, he forcibly grabbed Erha and muttered,
"It's not like I'm feeding you sauerkraut, what are you being so picky about!"
As he spoke, he forcefully stuffed the Silver-tier True Treasures into its mouth.
Seeing that Erha still wanted to spit them out, Chen Shu directly revealed his ultimate weapon: a urea bag!
"Awooo!"
Erha's eyes were filled with indignation, but ultimately it could only submit to the Ruffian's tyranny and swallowed all the True Treasures.
"That's more like it!"
Chen Shu recalled it into his beast-taming space, expecting it would take some time for Erha to digest them.
"A Liang, lend me your computer!"
"What for?"
"I need to redeem the Level 1 potions from the laboratory."
As he spoke, he opened the list of Level 1 potions on the school's official website:
