"Are you treating this place like a matchmaking party?"
Chen Shu snatched the little spirit over, already at his limit...
"Xiao Chen, don't rush..."
Seeing Chen Shu's agitated state, the little spirit quickly said, "I don't think it will disappoint you."
"Oh? Is it very strong?"
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, managing to calm himself down.
He recalled the little spirit's identity as an otherworldly bully. A creature recognized by it should... probably... possibly not be simple, right?
"Of course!"
The little spirit scratched its head and said, "It can tell if the opponent's flesh is delicious just by looking at it. Even this great king is inferior to it in this regard."
"???"
Chen Shu's heart tightened again, and he said, "Are you spouting nonsense?"
"Not at all."
The little spirit opened its mouth, "Its gourmet appreciation ability is truly..."
"I'm talking about combat power! Fighting ability!"
Chen Shu directly interrupted the little spirit. What's the use of it contracting this thing for me...
He himself is a foodie, so why contract another foodie? To exchange tips every day, is that it...
"Fighting? It doesn't do that."
"???"
Chen Shu's eyes twitched. "You better be kidding me."
"As a boss-level existence, we don't need to get our hands dirty."
"..."
Chen Shu turned his head, not wanting to look at the little spirit at all, and directly opened a new beast-taming space.
If he continued talking to the little spirit, he feared his tolerance would not be enough...
At this moment, dense black mist permeated from the beast-taming space, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.
"A thousand years, and I'm finally out..."
"?"
Chen Shu's heart stirred, and he instantly realized the other party was not simple.
Did the little spirit lie to me?
At this moment, the black mist grew thicker, as if a demon was about to be born within it, exuding an ominous feeling.
"The mysterious human world, it truly makes this Demon King intoxicated..."
"Demon King?"
Chen Shu swallowed, a hint of excitement in his heart. Could it truly have come with destiny?
Just this title alone had several levels higher prestige than "otherworldly bully"...
However, in the next second,
his expression froze.
The black mist before him quietly dispersed, revealing the true form of the creature within.
A plump big cat stood upright, its black ears perked, its white belly prominent. Most importantly, its eyes were remarkably similar to that of a husky, possessing a glimmer of intelligence...
Chen Shu's eyes widened. It was a... Chinchilla?!
The majestic Demon King image instantly collapsed, a complete shift in style...
At this moment,
the Chinchilla remained oblivious to the black mist dissipating. It let out another sinister chuckle and said eerily,
"From now on, this world belongs to me, the Great Evil Demon King! All beings shall bow and submit..."
"..."
Chen Shu crossed his arms, adopting a "I'm watching your performance" stance.
The husky, the rabbit, and the slime also stared directly ahead, watching quietly without a word...
'Am I stunned by this Demon King?'
The Chinchilla had a thought and was about to utter some motivational lines, words that the little spirit had, of course, taught it beforehand.
But before it could speak, it saw the little spirit repeatedly making eye contact.
Only then did it finally realize that the surrounding black mist had already dispersed...
"Ah, really..."
The Chinchilla's expression faltered, and it reverted to its original adorable voice, which perfectly matched its appearance...
At this moment, the two stared at each other quietly, the atmosphere becoming somewhat awkward...
Chen Shu's expression remained calm. The moment their eyes met, a soul connection was formally established.
He silently opened the Chinchilla's panel...
Name: Great Evil Demon King...
"Huh?"
Chen Shu was momentarily stunned. Was its name really that?
With a thought, he looked down again:
Disposition: Invincible Demon King
Attribute: Demon King
Creature Race: Demon King Class
"???"
Chen Shu's initial excitement vanished. He then glanced at the little spirit, then back at the Chinchilla, and said,
"Show me your real information!"
At first, he thought the creature was genuinely named that, but upon seeing the later details, he was bewildered.
Whose disposition was an invincible Demon King...
Coupled with its good relationship with the little spirit, it was likely another special creature capable of modifying its panel...
"Ah?"
The Chinchilla lowered its head, not daring to meet Chen Shu's gaze, and mumbled, "These are this Demon King's attributes..."
"If you don't let me see, you won't eat tonight."
"Big cat will change it back immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the Chinchilla's expression trembled. It had been perfectly cornered...
"That's more like it..."
Chen Shu nodded and reopened its panel information.
Name: Gluttonous Big Cat King
Disposition: Gluttonous and Lazy
Attribute: Intellect
Creature Race: Demonic Beast Class
"..."
Chen Shu looked up at the sky, feeling a touch of melancholy. The truth was indeed cruel...
The only saving grace was that there was still a 'King' in the name...
Fortunately, as a fierce bandit of Nanjiang, his mental fortitude was top-notch. He organized his emotions and looked down again.
Talent: [Body of Darkness: Absolute immunity to all negative statuses] [Feline Spirit: Any skill cast by oneself cannot be dispelled] [Heavenly Lock: Any skill cast by oneself is guaranteed to hit and cannot be dodged] [King's Tolerance: Cannot learn any damaging skills]
"..."
Chen Shu was initially excited, as the first three talents were incredibly potent, the kind any combat-contracted spirit would dream of.
However, the fourth talent instantly negated everything...
"Cannot learn damaging skills?!"
Chen Shu's heart sank, realizing this was another support-type contracted spirit.
His gaze shifted back to the information below.
