Huang Wei took a deep breath, feeling his head getting a little congested.
Then he angrily said, "Kid, are you looking for death?"
A student actually dared to play a trick on their Beast Taming Squad!
"I really just wanted to show you guys a bit of color," Chen Shu said innocently.
Huang Wei and the others clenched their fists, feeling rage boiling within them, but they dared not make a move.
"Boss, bring us some of your signature dishes."
Just then, two soldiers arrived at the restaurant.
Huang Wei and the others' anger was instantly suppressed, and they dared not think of making a move.
Chen Shu placed the cards on the table and said, "It seems everyone has a clear understanding of colors now. These cards are for you. You can practice with them when you have nothing to do at home."
Politely, Huang Wei thought, "Damn it!"
Chen Shu returned to Zhou Shi's side. At the same time, the golden slime's defense was further strengthened by 10%.
The system told him to show the opponent some color, so he did so meticulously, fulfilling the requirement.
System:
"Little Chen, you're really not afraid of offending Huang Wei."
Looking at Chen Shu, who was eating heartily, Zhou Shi was speechless. After all, the other party was the leader of a Beast Taming Squad and a Black Iron grade Beast Tamer himself.
"Why does this guy seem a bit reckless?"
"It's okay, I don't usually leave the city."
Chen Shu said with satisfaction, "I didn't expect the monster meat to be tastier than I imagined."
As for Huang Wei, he wasn't worried at all. As long as he didn't go to the异空间 (other dimension), not to mention a Black Iron grade, even a Gold grade Beast Tamer couldn't do anything to him.
The most important thing was that the other party didn't recognize him and would only target Zhou Shi's Beast Taming Squad.
And now Huang Wei's Beast Taming Squad had clearly just returned from the 异空间 (other dimension) and wouldn't enter again for him. Did they think the entrance fee was free?
"This kid," Zhou Shi shook his head and stopped thinking about it.
Although there was a conflict with Huang Wei and the others, they already had a grudge, so he didn't care at all.
After a satisfying meal, the group continued to stroll around Qingyuan Town.
"Is that the entrance to the Qingyuan Forest?"
They arrived at the back of the town and could easily see a sizable building standing tall, with soldiers armed with live ammunition patrolling all around it.
Behind the building, white mist shrouded the area, making it impossible to discern its true nature.
It was already close to dusk; such dense fog shouldn't appear.
Zhou Shi nodded and said, "Yes, we'll head there early tomorrow morning."
Just then, a group of people emerged from the white mist. They were all wearing camouflage uniforms with faint bloodstains, and their expressions were exhausted.
However, there was an excited look on each of their faces.
"A mutated Green-Eyed Serpent, highest bidder takes it!"
The man in the lead shouted loudly, and the surrounding merchants instantly became excited, flocking forward.
"I'll offer one hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred thousand!"
Soon, the price of the Green-Eyed Serpent climbed steadily, and it was eventually acquired by a merchant for a high price of eight hundred thousand.
Xu Xiaoyu's eyes showed confusion, "Can a basic-grade beast sell for so much?"
The strength of the Green-Eyed Serpent was at most equivalent to a level nine contracted spirit, and it was very common in the Qingyuan Forest, so it shouldn't sell for such a high price.
"Besides the division of strength, beasts also have bloodline grades. Zhou Shi explained, "Bloodline grades are divided into common, mutated, lord, and king."
"Bloodline grade is essentially equivalent to the potential rating of a contracted spirit."
"For contracted spirits of the same grade, an S-rank is definitely not on the same level as an F-rank, not including Chen Shu's golden slime."
Zhou Shi continued to explain, "An ordinary Green-Eyed Serpent is naturally worthless, but it's different if it's mutated. Not only can the snake gall improve beast taming power, but the snake's eyes have a chance to let the contracted spirit comprehend the skill 'Keen Vision'."
"Of course, this chance is terrifyingly low, but wealthy people are willing to pay a high price to try their luck."
Xu Xiaoyu was enlightened. As the top student in the final exam, she had successfully obtained a Spirit Enlightenment Pill, which could give her contracted spirit a chance to comprehend skills or talents during breakthroughs. This chance was also extremely low.
The value of a Spirit Enlightenment Pill was also hundreds of thousands, and it was even difficult to find on the market.
"Anything related to skills and talents is hyped to exorbitant prices."
This was also why Chen Shu's slime had two active skills, leading the grade director to believe he had saved the Milky Way in his previous life.
"Let alone lord and king grades, even mutated beasts are hard to come by."
Old Deng shook his head and said, "Let's go back. I hope this adventure brings us some good luck."
Everyone nodded, left the area, and returned to the hotel.
At night,
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Chen Shu lay on the bed, struggling.
In the adjacent bed, Uncle Wang, who had driven during the day, snored like thunder, the sounds rising and falling vigorously.
"I should have slept alone," Chen Shu muttered.
He had tormented the other party during the day, and now the roles were reversed at night.
"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore!"
Chen Shu sobered himself up with cold water and, looking at the town at night, impulsively left his room.
At night, the hotel had become very quiet, with only the front desk attendant diligently watching a suspense drama.
"Let's take a stroll around town."
During the day, the group hadn't finished exploring the town.
As soon as Chen Shu left the hotel, he saw a couple embracing on the street.
The man said tenderly, "Xiao Fang, do you know? I've actually always liked you."
The woman bashfully hid in the man's arms, not daring to look up.
Chen Shu happened to pass by and asked, "What about when you're not straight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Shu bolted, his movements graceful and decisive.
"I @#￥%..." The man only felt ten thousand alpacas galloping in his heart. "How could I still like you when I'm not straight?"
The couple's originally romantic atmosphere was instantly ruined by a truly inconsiderate scoundrel.
Chen Shu whistled, enjoying the night breeze, feeling relaxed. He had finally escaped the thunderous bombardment in the room.
Even at night, people were still walking back and forth on the town's streets.
As Chen Shu walked, he arrived in front of a building.
The building had nine floors and was built very majestically, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding low-rise buildings.
This was the Beast Tamer Association, a place that provided services for Beast Tamers, including information sales, 异空间 (other dimension) maps, beast encyclopedias, and a mission hall.
A staff member with a smile approached, "Sir, I'm happy to serve you."
"You're happy too early then," Chen Shu said.
The staff member stumbled, almost falling.
"Heh, sir is very humorous." He forced out a stiff smile.
"It seems I've encountered another difficult customer."
"What do you need, sir? The Beast Tamer Association can serve you."
"Not for now, I'm just wandering around, wandering around."
Chen Shu shook his head, wanting to look around by himself. The service staff wisely left.
It was nighttime, and there weren't many people in the Beast Tamer Association.
Chen Shu went to the mission hall on the third floor. A large display screen hung from the ceiling, showing various missions.
