No! I absolutely cannot just wait to die! I need to find a chance to sneak out!
Chen Shu made up his mind. Were two months of cultivation going to drive him mad?
Xu Xingxing spoke, "Chen Pi, your Beast Taming Pearls have arrived."
The three of them arrived at the school gate. A car had already been waiting for a long time.
"Young Master, what you wanted is all here!"
A burly man in black stepped out, his expression extremely respectful.
Xu Xingxing opened the trunk. Inside, three boxes were visible.
"Base-grade Beast Taming Pearls cost 150,000 each. For forty million, you can get nearly three hundred."
Chen Shu opened a box and gazed at the exquisite Beast Taming Pearls, one by one.
If he were to swallow them all, he might be close to becoming a Level Nine Beast Tamer.
He couldn't help but sigh, "Money, it truly is a wonderful thing!"
Many passing students glanced over, almost wetting themselves.
"Holy crap! So many Beast Taming Pearls?! Are they fake?"
A male student's body trembled. His face was flushed, and his eyes were filled with astonishment.
His accompanying classmate said dismissively, "What Beast Taming Pearls? Those marbles?"
"Marbles my foot! Each pearl is worth 150,000. Do the math yourself."
"One times one is one, one times two is four, one times three is nine..."
"Give me a break!"
The male student said, "If those three boxes are all Beast Taming Pearls, they're worth at least tens of millions!"
"So much?! Why don't we make a move for them—"
*Slap!*
The male student immediately hit his companion on the head, saying, "That's Chen Shu, you idiot! Didn't you hear his broadcast? He can beat the entire student body, and you think you can?"
The surrounding students' eyes gleamed. Their bodies trembled, and they couldn't help but clench their fists.
Tens of millions! The vast majority of students had never even seen so much money.
"Yes, the count is correct!"
Chen Shu counted all three boxes. Each pearl was 150,000, so he didn't dare to be careless.
The burly man said, "Young Master, let me help you carry them."
"No need, no need!"
Xu Xingxing refused. Each person carried a box and swaggered into the school.
Chen Shu wasn't worried about anyone trying to rob them.
At Nanjiang Second High School, his reputation held more deterrent power than the teachers.
"Whose prodigal son is this? Buying so many Beast Taming Pearls!"
The driver shook his head, his tone filled with envy.
"Chen Pi, shall we go eat?"
The three moved the boxes back to the dormitory.
"No need. You guys go ahead. I'm having this for dinner."
Chen Shu lay on the bed playing with his phone, occasionally grabbing a Beast Taming Pearl and popping it into his mouth.
The other two were speechless. You're going too far, actually treating Beast Taming Pearls as food!
In the evening, Chen Shu took out a urea bag and started filling it with Beast Taming Pearls.
"Chen Pi, what are you doing?"
Xu Xingxing, who was tidying up the hospital gowns, asked.
"Preparing tomorrow's meals!"
Chen Shu stuffed nearly a hundred Beast Taming Pearls into the bag.
Who would have thought that an ordinary urea bag would contain tens of millions worth of items?
Xu Xingxing shook his head. "Aren't you going to cultivate?"
"Not anymore. My talent is too poor; cultivating is just a waste of effort."
Chen Shu's eyes darted around, constantly thinking about how to escape tomorrow.
"Oh, the weather is getting colder. We can wear our pajamas inside now."
Xu Xingxing put on the blue and white striped hospital gown and felt a sense of comfort.
Chen Shu and Xie Sunan cast looks of disdain. "Why are you wearing that thing? Are you sick?"
The next morning,
The three of them put on their pajamas, wrapped themselves in jackets, and left the dormitory.
The students in the special training class set off from school at seven in the morning, still transported by special buses.
"From now on, this is your time to cultivate! I don't need to tell you how important your Beast Taming level is. You decide for yourselves!"
Shen Wushuang said, feeling a sense of relief in his heart. He could finally rest for two months.
The students of the special training class sat cross-legged in the Beast Taming arena, their eyes closed, like ancient Qi refiners.
A faint white mist spread across the floor and walls of the room. This was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!
The spiritual energy recovery had been going on for over nine hundred years. Humans had naturally developed technology to increase the concentration of spiritual energy.
Many people's hearts trembled. They sensed the spiritual energy and began to cultivate with complete focus.
Chen Shu yawned out of boredom and took out the urea bag from his backpack.
He played with his phone while eating Beast Taming Pearls, his expression filled with joy.
Especially seeing everyone else working hard to cultivate, he instantly understood the true meaning of happiness.
Just then, options suddenly appeared before his eyes.
[Option One: Cultivate diligently and strive to improve your Beast Taming level! Completion Reward: None!]
[Option Two: Play freely and use Beast Taming Pearls to improve your level! Completion Reward: A large amount of Beast Taming Power]
[Option Three: Seize the opportunity to influence others' cultivation, causing Shen Wushuang to actively expel you! Completion Reward: Unlock new potion illustration: Stamina Potion]
[Option Four: Slip away directly, ignoring the rules! Completion Reward: Skill 'Wind Breath' +1]
"See? Even the system thinks diligent cultivation has no future, not even giving a reward."
Chen Shu instantly locked onto the fourth option.
The benefits of skill upgrades were self-evident.
He tied up the urea bag, put it in his backpack, and stood up, looking around.
Trying to leave through the main entrance seemed unreliable. Shen Wushuang might be waiting there to catch him.
His gaze fell upon the nearby window, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Chen Shu tiptoed over to the window.
"Big brother is leaving first! No time to waste with you guys!"
Chen Shu opened the window. Although it was on the fifth floor, he only needed to use a slime to cushion his landing at the last moment.
This kind of thing might be difficult for others, but Chen Shu was already very familiar with it.
He climbed out of the window and looked down.
"Huh?!"
In an instant, his legs went weak, and the smile on his face froze abruptly.
Below, a giant black and white python was digging the earth with its head.
A deep pit was gradually appearing,
As if it were waiting for Chen Shu to jump into it.
"Oh, come on..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, and he instantly turned around and climbed back into the room.
"This is unbelievable! Shen Wushuang was already waiting to trap me!"
"Skills or not, it doesn't matter. I think unlocking potion illustrations is more important!"
Chen Shu comforted himself and decisively abandoned the fourth option.
Since that night, he had sworn never to let anyone bury him again!
