Chen Pi, have someone else escort you. I'm a bit nervous.
Xie Sunan's mouth twitched. This guy was clearly trying to set someone else up, and he didn't want to be the scapegoat.
Chen Shu patted the other person on the shoulder and asked earnestly, "Old Xie, where's your courage?!"
Get lost. I don't believe you!
Xie Sunan took several steps back and flatly refused.
Damn, when did he get so smart?
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. It seemed he'd have to find someone else to help him place his bet.
If he bet himself, the other party would surely be able to find out, which would be too fake.
Xiao Xing, aren't you betting?
Chen Shu looked at Xu Xingxing beside him. This was an opportunity to make some money.
Xu Xingxing shook his head and said, "My family doesn't allow me to do these things."
Alright! It seems this is destined to be a game for the brave!
Chen Shu sighed and took out his phone, preparing to find someone with clout.
Sister Fang Si, are you there?
As expected, I'll be here for the next few decades.
I want to make some money, can you do me a favor?
Chen Shu explained the situation in detail.
Just as I expected from my little brother! Since you're so fearless, I'll charge you a five million handling fee.
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. When a bandit meets another bandit, things don't go smoothly.
Sister, my slime is just a baby and needs a lot of resources to cultivate! Can you give me a discount?
Then I'll charge you four million nine hundred and ninety thousand.
In the end, Chen Shu reluctantly paid five million. Being someone with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, he'd rather forgo the ten thousand discount.
According to the plan, he would receive fifty million. Even after paying the handling fee, he would still net over forty million.
By the way, Sister Fang Si, it's raining in Kyoto. Did you bring an umbrella?
I did, why?
Oh, so the rain was wasted?
Get lost! You're asking for it, aren't you?
Chen Shu immediately turned off his phone. Indeed, the online version of himself was an invincible god!
At midnight, Chen Shu had been having Xie Sunan keep an eye on the odds.
The final odds increased instead of decreasing, settling at 1:6.
Although he had bet ten million, many people had bet on him to win tonight.
In five days, a large sum of money would be credited to his account.
Hehehe~~~
Chen Shu, with a mischievous grin, happily went to sleep.
Xu Xingxing and Xie Sunan both felt a chill. The way this guy was smiling was truly unsettling.
The next morning,
Chen Shu headed to Nanjang City Fourth Middle School.
As expected, there was no surprise. He proceeded to brutally beat the students there.
Looking at the bewildered expressions of others, he felt a sense of elation.
During interviews, he said whatever came to mind, causing the surrounding television personnel to repeatedly remind him to mind his manners.
After four consecutive days of challenges,
The outcome was as expected, with no one able to contend with him. He even destroyed the Beast Taming Hall.
The scene from three years ago with Fang Si repeated itself, but it was more brutal and more violent.
The reputation of the "Nanjang Demon King" gradually spread.
On the fifth day,
Chen Shu arrived at Nanjang Special Grade Middle School. Although the name sounded impressive, it was essentially the same as other schools.
He was no longer wearing the promotional uniform of 666 Pharmaceutical Company.
Instead, he wore a specially made patchwork outfit, colorful and emblazoned with the logos of eight companies.
Starting from the second day, he had received sponsorships from other companies.
To promote them, Chen Shu had deliberately created this bizarre outfit.
"Bro, I'm all about the West Coast style. This is what you call layering!"
"Attention, fellow students! Surrender is your only way out. Do not resist in vain! Let me reiterate, do not resist in vain!"
As soon as Chen Shu arrived at the Beast Taming Hall, he directly deployed a megaphone.
The students in the special training class looked silent, like meek little lambs.
Their crushing defeat at the previous five schools had forced them to accept reality.
We can't win, we really can't win.
Chen Shu!
A student stepped forward, his eyes filled with a calm resolve. He said, "Today, we admit we can't beat you. But within half a year, we will challenge you!"
The people of Nanjang City believed that once they caught up to Chen Shu's beast tamer level, they would naturally have the strength to fight him.
But they didn't know that the end of despair was still despair.
The effects of a cheat cannot be surpassed by human effort.
Then all of you, come at me together.
Chen Shu yawned,
preparing to use the ensuing chaos to make his slime lose control and fall off the competition stage, thus losing the match.
Just as he was anticipating this, the student before him shook his head.
He raised his right hand and shouted loudly, "Today, our special training class chooses to evade battle, not out of fear, but because the time is not yet right!"
His next sentence made Chen Shu's expression change drastically!
"We surrender!"
Following that, the remaining nineteen students raised their clenched fists as if taking an oath.
"We surrender!"
"We surrender!"
"We surrender!"
The scene before them instantly stunned the onlookers, their minds blank.
This is truly unbelievable!
They were surrendering, but it felt so heroic!
What was with this pride and confidence?
Chen Shu's mouth also hung open, staring blankly at the scene.
He felt like he couldn't catch his breath, and his heart condition was about to flare up.
He had bet a full ten million, and even with the principal's six million and the sponsorship fees from eight companies, he would still be at a loss of two million!
No! I object!
The student said matter-of-factly, "We are formally surrendering. Does it concern you, a challenger, to object?"
Chen Shu was utterly bewildered. The actions of the special grade middle school had completely disrupted his plan.
In the end, was I the clown all along?
Chen Shu closed his eyes, thinking hard. He had to provoke them into fighting!
After a pause, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "Are all students at Special Grade Middle School cowards?!"
His voice was so loud that it drowned out the special training class's oath.
Everyone looked at him, their eyes showing a hint of anger.
A beast tamer's battle relied mainly on their contracted spirits, but if the master's personality was weak, it would also affect the outcome of the battle!
"Our class's Tang Lie, from a prominent family, possesses an A-grade contracted spirit: the Windwalker Beast. Such a genius, yet I've beaten him repeatedly, and he's even developed psychological scars."
Chen Shu said with utmost seriousness, "Do you think he's given up? Has he retreated?"
"I tell you, even now, he is still fighting against evil forces, uh, against me, with all his might!"
"This is the spirit a genius should possess. He may be defeated by me, but he will never be vanquished!"
Chen Shu's eyes held admiration. "I bet, within ten years, perhaps twenty, at most fifty, or not exceeding a hundred years, he has the hope of defeating me!"
