[Option 1: Accept the offer and become a student at Nancang Pharmaceutical University! Completion Reward: Proficiency in a designated potion upgraded to the Great Accomplishment level.]
[Option 2: Firmly refuse and state that the school is not worthy of you! Completion Reward: Giant Strength Fruit!]
[Option 3: Ask: Can your school's walls withstand a nuclear bomb? Completion Reward: Unlock new illustration: Lightning Potion!]
Chen Shu was slightly stunned, not because of the options, but because they wanted to offer him a guaranteed admission.
Chen Shu, a guaranteed admission student?
Although Nancang Pharmaceutical University was not comparable to Huaxia Academy, it was still considered a key university. Its star major, Pharmaceutical Science, even ranked among the top ten in the country.
However, it was a pity that the school's Beast Taming major was too weak, which was indeed unsuitable for Chen Shu.
What the heck? Is this university trying to court death?
Fang Si and Zhang Dali also heard the voice on the phone.
The two exchanged a glance, and the same thought flashed through their minds:
What school is so suicidal? Trying to recruit a notorious gangster in advance?
As expected, Chen Shu's next words did not disappoint them.
"Uh, can your school's walls block a nuclear bomb?"
Huh? Huh?!
Zhou Yujiang was originally indifferent, but when he understood, he was instantly stunned.
What did that mean?
Chen Shu sighed and said, "If they can't, I'm sorry, I won't choose it!"
Zhou Yujiang's eyes widened on the other end of the phone, and he was instantly flustered.
Damn it, what school's walls can withstand a nuclear bomb?!
Besides, what does guaranteed admission have to do with nuclear bombs? Why is your thinking so jumpy?
Did that guaranteed admission come with some kind of scholarship? I can skip school, but I think you have to give me the money!
???
Zhou Yujiang's mouth twitched, and he immediately hung up the phone.
What kind of gangster logic is this? This is outright robbery!
Are university teachers this rude? They just hung up on me!
Chen Shu muttered, shook his head, and could only give up.
He looked up and saw Fang Si and Zhang Dali giving him a thumbs-up.
"Chen the Gangster, as expected of you!"
The three played games for a while, and it was soon time for dinner.
Everyone gathered together, chatting about everyday life, watching the Spring Festival Gala on TV, and enjoying delicious food, with happy smiles on their faces.
Tonight, the atmosphere of reunion permeated every corner of the city.
After the New Year's Eve dinner,
Zhang Dali patted his belly and asked, "Chen Shu, want to go set off fireworks tonight?"
"Sure, I have nothing else to do!"
Chen Shu nodded. It was New Year's Eve, and he had nothing to do.
Fang Si said, "Wait, I'll invite Qinghan."
Wang Qinghan was left with only herself and her sister. It would indeed be a bit lonely for the two, especially on a festival like today.
Chen Shu also thought of someone and made a call.
"Hello, Commissioner Xia Bing, want to go set off fireworks?"
At Xia Bing's home, only she and her mother were left. It was a festive reunion, but the house seemed unusually quiet.
Xia Bing was a little surprised, not expecting Chen Shu to call.
But thinking of her mother being left alone at home, she could only say, "Me? I'm going to sleep, so I won't go."
"What do you mean sleep on New Year's? Come on over and have some fun!"
Chen Shu said, "Bring Auntie along too. If you don't come, you'll have to write me a 10,000-word appreciation essay at the start of the semester."
Xia Bing's mouth twitched, and she tried asking her mother. To her surprise, her mother agreed directly.
The mother and daughter left their quiet home and came to the lively streets, with smiles appearing on their faces unconsciously.
Soon, a group of people gathered on Xia Fei Road.
"Brother Chen Shu."
Wang Qingxue ran towards Chen Shu with a smile on her face.
Chen Shu's mouth also curved into a smile, and he directly picked up Wang Qingxue.
"Did you remember what big brother taught you last time?"
Wang Qinghan's eyes widened. "You're bringing this up the moment you meet?"
"Qingxue remembered! I will definitely bring honor to Nanjiang No. 2 Middle School in the future!"
Wang Qingxue's little face was serious, and she clenched her fists.
Hearing this, Wang Qinghan and Xia Bing were stunned, and then only one sentence flashed through their minds.
It's over! It's over!
Wang Qinghan thought her sister had been corrupted.
Xia Bing thought Nanjiang No. 2 Middle School was finished.
An hour later,
The group arrived at the suburbs of Nanjiang City. The main urban area had prohibited fireworks, so they could only come here.
There were already many people around, filled with laughter and joy. Various fireworks were being lit, illuminating the sky beautifully.
Everyone looked up at the sky, with smiles unconsciously appearing on their faces.
Life is truly beautiful!
Fang Si said, "Qinghan, you have to work hard for the college entrance examination. Strive to come to Kyoto then, and I'll cover you!"
"Sister Fang Si, I will work hard!"
Wang Qingxue said with childish innocence, "Sister, cheer up!"
On the other side, Xia Bing and her mother also had smiles on their faces.
Xia Bing's mother looked at her daughter's profile and said, "Xiaobing, do you regret following me?"
Xia Bing looked over and shook her head firmly, "Mom, actually, the conflicts at home are all because of me. If I were a genius, or if I were an ordinary person, perhaps none of this would have happened."
"Xiaobing, you did nothing wrong."
Her mother hugged Xia Bing and said, "Blame fate!"
Even if Xia Bing had no talent, tragedy would still occur.
Because their family could not provide the best for Xia Yan.
The reason Xia Bing's father left was mainly because he was attracted by the Wu family's resources.
He had been mediocre his entire life, pinning all his hopes on his son Xia Yan.
To cultivate him into a talented person, he would do anything, including abandoning his wife and daughter.
"Mom, I will be more outstanding than my brother!"
Xia Bing said secretly in her mother's embrace.
"Your classmates are actually quite good."
Xia Bing's mother suddenly teased, "Especially that Chen classmate. He's cheerful and outgoing, and looks like a genuinely upright kid. I think he's a good boy. You can consider him when you go to university."
"Mom!"
Xia Bing's face turned slightly red, but she immediately said, "That's because you don't know him well."
This was the first time she had heard anyone praise Chen Shu like this. If you knew about his deeds, you would probably call the police directly.
Just then, Fang Si frowned and looked around.
"Huh? Where's Chen Pi?"
She had a bad premonition. *Could he have gone to cause trouble?*
"Everyone! Everyone!"
A voice came from behind, and everyone turned their heads.
"Look at the custom-made, gangster-style giant fireworks I prepared!"
Chen Shu was dragging a cart with a four-meter-tall box on it.
Zhang Dali looked shocked, immediately stepped forward, and kept touching the box.
"Holy cow! When did you get this? It's so big?"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Of course, there must be preparations for the New Year!"
Tonight, big brother will be a determined youth setting off his dreams on New Year's Eve!
