"What? You've contracted two huskies?!"
Professor Cheng Qing's expression was utterly bewildered.
Contracting two identical spirit beasts was a probability as low as winning the lottery.
Chen Shu spoke, "Teacher, these are its skills."
In an instant, one of the huskies' bodies gradually dimmed and vanished from its spot.
"Huh? A clone skill?!"
Cheng Qing's expression froze, her eyes filled with surprise. She said, "Show me your status panel!"
Chen Shu displayed the husky's skills.
[Clone Lv1] instantly caught her attention.
"It's that divine skill!!"
Professor Cheng Qing stroked her chin, her eyes still filled with disbelief.
"Unscientific, unscientific. The clone skill has nothing to do with elemental beasts!"
Chen Shu grinned and said, "Teacher, what do you think? My elemental beast is talented, right?"
Seeing that his mentor was somewhat yielding, Zhang Dali immediately chimed in:
"Teacher, my friend is truly a genius, and he just graduated from high school."
"Just graduated?!"
Cheng Qing's expression jolted. She hadn't heard of anyone becoming Black Iron rank before the college entrance examination.
Chen Shu had broken through in an alternate dimension, and coupled with Nanjiang City not heavily promoting him, Chen Shu's fame outside the province was not high.
Furthermore, examination videos for the college entrance examination were prohibited from being released.
Cheng Qing asked, "What about your other contracted spirit?"
"I'm worried the office won't be able to contain it."
Chen Shu wanted to summon it, but he worried the slime would break through the office floor.
He displayed the slime's status panel, showing only one skill to Cheng Qing: [Giantization Lv4].
"Holy cow!"
Cheng Qing's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but let out a curse.
"Interesting. Both D-rank contracted spirits have divine skills? That's a bit outrageous!"
She stroked her chin and finally nodded, saying, "Alright, I'll match you with a Black Iron rank diet plan for free!"
"You guys go ahead first. I'll have Dali send it to you in a week."
Pairing a top-tier diet plan involved a vast amount of knowledge.
Even as a King-rank spirit chef, she still needed some time to complete it.
Cheng Qing asked, "Can you afford the food costs?"
She was only creating the diet plan for him for free; Chen Shu would be responsible for purchasing the actual food.
It wouldn't do if she painstakingly created the diet plan, only for Chen Shu to be unable to afford the ingredients.
"Teacher, is there any possibility that..."
Chen Shu cleared his throat and tentatively asked, "That you'll help me with the diet plan, and then also give me a year or two of food for free, or some sponsorship?"
"Holy cow!"
Zhang Dali immediately covered Chen Shu's mouth and quickly explained, "Teacher, he's joking."
With that, he dragged Chen Shu out of the office.
Cheng Qing shook her head and said, "This kid, he's really thick-skinned. I wonder if he's comprehended the divine skill [Invincible Defense] himself?"
Zhang Dali couldn't help but say, "You're utterly outrageous!"
After finally getting the teacher to create a diet plan for him for free, you actually wanted sponsorship? You don't want to pay any money at all!
It's like being addicted to freebies.
Chen Shu said, "A good deed must be done to the end, escort the Buddha to the west. No problem, right?"
"There are huge problems! Back then, the teacher only reluctantly agreed to prepare food for Sister Fang Si because her talent was so astonishing, and she still charged a hundred million for her hard work!"
Chen Shu's expression jolted, and he said, "A hundred million?! Are spirit chefs that profitable?"
"What do you think? My mentor is a King-rank spirit chef, among the top tier nationwide."
Zhang Dali pouted and said, "She only prepares food for famous powerhouses and charges at least several hundred million each time."
"Don't worry, it's a Black Iron rank diet plan for you. Most of the food will be Black Iron rank fierce beast meat, with only a small portion possibly being Silver rank. It won't be too expensive."
Zhang Dali patted Chen Shu and comforted him.
"It's really burning money."
Chen Shu scratched his head. He was a Black Iron rank beast tamer, so Cheng Qing would naturally match him with a Black Iron rank diet plan.
When he reached Silver rank, his contracted spirit would need a new diet plan.
He couldn't let a higher-rank contracted spirit continue eating low-rank beast meat. Otherwise, forget about increasing stats; it wouldn't even be enough to feed.
He sighed. He had initially thought earning over a hundred million was enough to support him in becoming an advanced beast tamer.
Now, it seemed he was completely deluding himself.
"Who asked you to pursue the best? Not everyone can afford a King-rank spirit chef."
Chen Shu and his companions played in the capital for several more days, experiencing the local customs and culture.
July 20th.
"Chen Pi, come to Huaxia University. It's time to get to work!"
Chen Shu's expression jolted. A text message from Fang Si made him excited.
Finally, it was time to head to an alternate dimension again?
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu arrived at Huaxia University from his hotel.
Beast Tamer Building No. 1, Room 703.
At this moment, Fang Si and three girls were gathered, discussing something.
"Sister Fang, can'er really not participate?"
A girl wearing a goose-yellow short-sleeved top asked.
"Mm, something came up at her home."
Fang Si nodded and said, "It's okay, I've specifically invited an external helper."
Another sweet-looking girl asked, "Isn't it someone from Huaxia University?"
Her brow furrowed with worry. If it were a beast tamer from society, the gap between them would be too large.
"She's from our school, don't worry. She definitely won't drag the team down."
Fang Si said with certainty, having absolute confidence in Chen Shu's strength.
"I'm a bit curious about the person Sister Si values so much."
A girl playing on her phone looked up. She had a beauty mark on her lips, and when she smiled, she had a hint of charm.
Creak!
Chen Shu walked in with perfect composure and immediately spotted the four people in the room.
Fang Si said, "Chen Pi, come here!"
She said to the other three girls, "Everyone, this is the external helper I invited, my younger brother, Chen Shu!"
"My teammates are Ning Qingyi, Qiao Yue, and Lu Zhining."
Chen Shu cleared his throat and said,
"Hello, senior students! I am the universally loved, vehicle-attracting, even coffin-opening..."
*Slap!*
Fang Si gave him a rap on the head, interrupting Chen Shu's words. She couldn't take it anymore.
"Sorry, he's a bit of a chatterbox."
"Sister Fang, is he really your brother?"
The three immediately stood up and kept sizing up Chen Shu, looking extremely curious.
"I don't think they look alike at all!"
"I agree. He's not violent like Sister Fang at all. He looks so sunny and a bit naive."
"Sister, are you sure he's killed fierce beasts? Don't let us have to take care of him."
Fang Si blinked slightly and turned to look at Chen Shu, who was beaming with a smile.
"You really know how to put on an act!"
When this guy smiles, he really is incredibly sunny, making people want to get close to him.
But in reality...
She was silent for a moment and said, "Everything is as it appears. Understand?"
