Chen Shu leaned over and whispered, "Actually, I took a berserk potion!"
"Berserk potion?"
Fang Si was slightly stunned, and then recalled that Chen Shu had given him a bottle before, but unfortunately, it was used up in the [Living Wood Swamp].
"No, even if you took the potion, you could at most fight to a draw with a Golden rank!"
"Who says? My contract spirit is already incredibly fierce. Can it be compared to an ordinary person taking medicine?"
Chen Shu shrugged, looking as if he was at the peak of loneliness.
With a divine skill paired with a berserk potion, it was a qualitative leap!
"You can stop it right there!"
Fang Si shook his head and said, "I need to go back and assist with theθη, what about you?"
"I'm just an innocent bystander, so I won't participate!"
Chen Shu stretched lazily and said, "I'm a bit sleepy, I need to go back to sleep!"
Fang Si chuckled. You are practically the source of all the trouble tonight!
"Oh, right, sister, can you help me mail these ingredients?"
Chen Shu pointed to the four Golden contract spirits. These were the biggest gains of the night.
"..."
Fang Si nodded, preparing to take them away.
Just then, she frowned and said, "Chen Pi, I feel like I've forgotten something."
"Actually, I have that feeling too..."
Chen Shu scratched his head upon hearing this, but then dismissed it, saying,
"People often feel this way, it's really nothing."
"Alright!"
Fang Si nodded and headed towards Sanqing Street.
Chen Shu, on the other hand, returned to his hotel and fell into a deep sleep, occasionally muttering "hehe..."
...
Under a flyover in the southern district of the city, a group of people were sitting together.
"Young man, your cooking skills are quite something!"
A group of people in tattered clothes surrounded a large pot with excited expressions.
"Nonsense, I'm from the Kyoto Spiritual Chef University, okay!"
Zhang Dali pouted, feeling quite hungry himself.
"Little brother, why don't you stick with us? We'll guarantee you food every day!"
"Forget it!"
Zhang Dali tossed the ladle in his right hand and waved his left hand, saying, "My friend will be here to pick me up soon!"
"Are you sure? We haven't seen your friend for so long!"
"They will definitely come! They are my sworn brothers! To save me, they fought their way here!"
Zhang Dali's eyes were filled with emotion as he said with certainty,
"I reckon they are still battling the evil forces right now!"
...
The next morning,
Qin Tian stretched lazily. As soon as he entered the office, the phone rang.
"Hello, Old Liu, what's up so early in the morning?"
Liu Feng's voice carried a hint of panic, "Brother Qin, something's wrong! Lan Hai City went up in flames last night!"
"What's the big deal? Too many passionate youths?"
Qin Tian smiled, not taking it seriously.
Liu Feng's mouth twitched. "I mean it went up in flames! A rampant, insane fire! I'll send you the video!"
"Could there be international criminals causing trouble?"
Qin Tian frowned and received the video.
His expression changed, and his face became solemn.
The video showed a fire illuminating the entire city. Such an atrocity was truly outrageous!
He said in a deep voice, "Too arrogant! This must be dealt with!!"
"That's not the key!"
Liu Feng continued, "The point is, Chen Shu went to Lan Hai City yesterday!"
"Hmm? Hmm!!!"
Qin Tian immediately stood up, a trace of shock in his eyes, and said,
"It can't be this outrageous, can it?"
Liu Feng coughed, "Brother Qin, let me give you some context. Before, in the city center of Nan Cang City, there was also a large fire that set the entire building ablaze..."
"No need to say more! I'm leaving!"
Qin Tian directly mounted his contract spirit and sped towards Lan Hai City.
...
At noon,
Chen Shu was still sleeping soundly in the hotel.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just then, a fierce knocking sound echoed.
"Mmm..."
Chen Shu, woken from his sleep, stretched and muttered, "Who is it, disturbing my sweet dream? I was about to drop a nuke..."
"Chen Pi! Chen Pi!"
Just then, Fang Si's voice came from outside the door.
Yawning, he opened the door and said, "Sister, why are you looking for me so early in the morning?"
"What early morning? It's almost one o'clock in the afternoon!"
Fang Si's mouth twitched, "The Governor of the East China Sea has something to ask you. Get ready!"
"Oh."
Chen Shu nodded reluctantly and said, "Sister, can you roast this pork knuckle for me? I'm going to wash up!"
Saying that, he took out a pork knuckle from his combat pack.
"??"
Fang Si's eyes widened, speechless. She summoned her contract spirit.
The Scarlet Flame Dragon began roasting with a mournful expression. For a dignified Silver contract spirit to do such a thing?
...
In a conference room of a skyscraper in Lan Hai City,
Dozens of people were already seated, all of them from the Dragon Guard of various cities.
The conference room was silent, as if waiting for something.
After a while, the door was pushed open, and two people strode in.
"You're here?"
The Governor of the East China Sea, seated at the front, stood up and smiled.
However, his expression froze as he saw Chen Shu gnawing on a pork knuckle...
"Please sit down!"
"Thank you, Governor!"
Fang Si nodded, leading Chen Shu to the front row seats in the conference room.
"I have one question I'd like to ask first!"
The Governor raised his eyebrows and said, "Why exactly did you two come to Lan Hai City?"
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, both of them fell into thought, and then their bodies stiffened simultaneously.
Fang Si quickly asked, "Where is Zhang Dali?!"
"Uh... I seem to have forgotten..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. It was only now that he remembered,
He hadn't come to Lan Hai City to set fires, but to rescue someone...
"Governor, please search the entire city for someone..."
Fang Si could only explain the situation, believing that Zhang Dali would be found soon.
"You two... are truly something!"
The Governor's eyes widened. Both of them had forgotten that they were here to save someone.
"Alright! You don't need to worry too much!"
He cleared his throat and got straight to the point, saying, "Chen Shu, what are your thoughts on the fire last night?"
Chen Shu threw away the pork knuckle and pondered for a moment before seriously saying,
"I think using fire for warmth is not feasible. It not only pollutes the environment but also carries risks!"
