"Huh? Is it quiet outside now?"
The dormitory supervisor, Wang Ye, exclaimed softly, noticing the absence of Chen Shu's terrifying laughter in the hallway.
"Nonsense! If this continues, the other students will likely develop phobias,"
Liu Feng sighed and said, "Old Wang, I really need to talk to you!"
Wang Ye took a puff of his hand-rolled cigarette and asked, "What about me?"
"Whether as a school teacher or a friend, I must seriously remind you!"
Liu Feng leaned in and said, "Now that you're retired, you can totally partner with me to open a funeral company!"
"???"
Wang Ye was slightly stunned and immediately exclaimed, "Damn, why didn't I think of that?!"
The two outrageously absurd teachers began discussing its feasibility...
...
"So refreshing!"
Chen Shu lay on the dormitory sofa, looking utterly content.
"Are you having an episode?"
A Liang yawned while packing his luggage.
"You guys don't understand!"
Chen Shu had completed another option and received a large reward of Beast Taming Power.
This pleasure of becoming stronger while lying down was something others might never experience in their lifetime.
He turned on the TV and began watching a long-awaited animated show.
A Liang also lay down and asked, "Chen Shu, what are you doing with this USB drive?"
"Nothing much."
Chen Shu shook his head, holding a USB drive from the Dark Night Organization in his hand.
He had suspected something had exposed his whereabouts back then.
The area around the stronghold was filled with ferocious beasts. Without special means, how could his location have been pinpointed so accurately?
*Bang!*
A husky suddenly appeared and spat out a fireball, completely incinerating the USB drive.
Chen Shu had initially intended to frame others with it, but fearing he might be targeted again, he could only destroy it.
"Damn it, Husky, how dare you damage my million-dollar USB drive?!"
Chen Shu's expression stiffened as he immediately pulled out his small notebook and muttered, "I have to write this down..."
"???"
The husky's eyes, which were full of intelligence moments ago, were now filled with question marks.
Amidst the dense fog, it couldn't tell who was the dog anymore...
Just then, A Liang leaned over, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile:
"Chen Shu, can you lend me some money?"
"A Liang, there are many ways to insult someone, no need to be like this!"
Chen Shu patted him on the shoulder and said, "We're all the same age. You don't have any, so how can I have any?!"
"..."
A Liang said, "Didn't you get tens of millions from the military training..."
Since Chen Shu had killed most of the Black Iron-level lords,
A Liang and the other two had spent their days playing cards, feeling too embarrassed to ask for a share.
"Sorry, I forgot..."
Chen Shu blinked, suddenly remembering.
He said with a serious expression, "There was a huge explosion back then. Fortunately, I saved you all. Shouldn't that life-saving fee be settled..."
"???"
A Liang and Wang Jue were both stunned. While they were embarrassed, Chen Shu had no such qualms!
"You were the one who caused the explosion, and now you're asking for a life-saving fee?"
A Liang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Is this the new wealth code?"
Chen Shu coughed and calmly replied, "Uh... hustling people for money isn't shameful!"
"It is, it's damn shameful!"
A Liang shook his head and said, "Seriously, lend me some. I'm planning to start a business!"
"?"
Chen Shu's eyes showed confusion, and he asked, "You? Starting a business?"
A Liang's lips curled into a confident smile, "Now I have a plan, and you have the capital. We're a perfect combination of cunning strategists!"
He took out a map of China and pointed to Qingxue Mountain in the northwest, the highest peak in the country.
"I plan to hire someone to blow up Qingxue Mountain!"
Chen Shu said, "And then directly go to prison?"
"How could that be! Let me finish. I've been planning this since high school, but I never had the funds!"
A Liang waved his hand and said,
"Once Qingxue Mountain is leveled, we can undertake real estate projects. With such a vast piece of land, wouldn't we make a fortune?"
"..."
Chen Shu and Wang Jue both leaned in, eager to hear A Liang's business plan.
"Don't be amazed, this is just the first step!"
A Liang was beaming with excitement and pointed to an area of the sea on the map.
"The rocks that roll down from Qingxue Mountain definitely shouldn't be wasted. I plan to use these rocks to fill this sea!"
"Then we can continue developing real estate. Wouldn't the money just flood in?"
"You're truly a business prodigy!"
Chen Shu and Wang Jue simultaneously made international gestures, finding it utterly ridiculous!
"No, I still have more plans!"
A Liang immediately explained, "Let's discuss it further. If that doesn't work, installing elevators in Qingxue Mountain or tiling the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum are also paths to wealth..."
The two of them returned to their room without looking back.
On the morning of September 30th,
Chen Shu was fast asleep when his phone rang.
"Hmm? Who is it?"
"This is Lu Yuan from the Beast Taming Association! Within five minutes, the No. 2 Beast Taming Hall. If you don't come..."
"Doodoodoodoo~"
Chen Shu yawned and fell back asleep.
In front of the No. 2 Beast Taming Hall, a tall young man's eyes were filled with rage.
"You have the nerve to hang up on my call, Lu Yuan!"
Yu Jiang cautiously asked, "Brother Lu, what should we do?"
He wanted to get revenge, but he had been too scared last night and could only find strong individuals from the Beast Taming Association.
"Wait for him to get out of class!"
Lu Yuan snorted coldly and said, "Four useless fools, bullied by a freshman!"
Yu Jiang and the other three were meek and dared not retort.
It wasn't that they couldn't fight, but the opponent simply didn't play by the rules!
...
At 9:30 AM,
Chen Shu stretched lazily, woken up by Wang Jue's voice outside the door.
There were no classes today, but a class meeting was scheduled to discuss holiday precautions.
"What bad luck, being woken up by a dog in the morning!"
"???"
Wang Jue turned his head, "Are you sure you're not calling me a dog?!"
"Old Wang, don't misunderstand, it was a phone call. Someone called Lu Yuan, yapping on and on, I don't know what he was saying."
"Lu Yuan?!"
Wang Jue had been indifferent, but upon hearing the name, his expression immediately tensed.
Chen Shu asked, "What, you know him?"
"He's a senior, a top five genius! He's apparently already become a Silver-rank."
"Silver-rank?!"
Chen Shu frowned, not expecting to encounter such a tough opponent.
Wang Jue said, "A wise man knows when to retreat. Shall we apologize?"
"Apologize my ass!"
A Liang walked in and said, "Let's find an opportunity and put laxatives in his takeout!"
Wang Jue's mouth twitched: "??"
"Forget it, just a Silver-rank, not worth mentioning!"
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "The Nanjiang Bandit fears no one!"
With that, his right hand in his trouser pocket moved slightly, and he silently sent a message to Liu Feng...
