At this moment, Chen Shu was still unaware of the impending crisis.
"Hey, Sister Fang Si, you're the only one missing!"
Chen Shu called Fang Si and said, "I've sent you the location!"
"Okay, let me see! Huh?!"
Fang Si, who was on the phone, changed her expression and said, "Are you sure you're there?!"
"What's wrong?"
Chen Shu, with three or four fish balls stuffed in his mouth, mumbled, "The scenery here is nice, and there's no one around."
"And someone planted flowers on the rooftop. Although they're not pretty, they're quite tasty!"
Chen Shu picked up a piece of cooked yellow flower and savored it.
"You motherfucker plucked the flowers?!"
Fang Si's expression stiffened, and her body froze.
She swallowed and said, "I might not be feeling well today... You guys eat..."
"Also, a reminder, you might want to pick a nice urn..."
"What?"
Chen Shu was stunned, slightly confused.
Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of a familiar black spider leg...
"Holy crap!"
He snapped awake instantly and immediately opened his combat backpack...
With a leap, the black spider landed on the rooftop.
"You... you guys..."
Liu Feng's eyes widened, filled with fury.
His peripheral vision immediately spotted that his meticulously cultivated flowers had been plucked...
Liu Feng had no other hobbies; he simply enjoyed growing flowers to cultivate his temperament!
Although they were not medicinal herbs from another dimension and had no practical use, they were considered rare treasures, extremely uncommon.
"Teacher Liu..."
A Liang and Wang Jue were shocked, immediately rising to their feet, an ominous feeling dawning upon them.
"Very good... very good..."
Liu Feng took a deep breath, a peculiar smile appearing on his lips.
He calmly scanned everyone and asked, "Who is the mastermind!"
Xie Sunan and the others felt immense pressure; this was definitely a high-level Beast Tamer!
Without any resistance, they all turned their heads in unison to look at Chen Shu behind them.
"What the hell, when did you put on a gas mask?!"
The corners of everyone's mouths twitched. They hadn't expected Chen Shu to react so quickly.
"I, Yu Yi, am guilty! Expel me!"
Chen Shu deliberately altered his voice, crying out mournfully.
"..."
Liu Feng's mouth twitched, and he calmly said,
"I've seen your college entrance examination video! You were wearing this gas mask!"
As soon as he spoke, Chen Shu's crying voice froze...
"You kid are truly bold!"
Liu Feng instantly appeared behind Chen Shu, his gaze fixed on him.
Chen Shu swallowed and took off the gas mask.
"Teacher Liu, if I said it was all an accident, would you believe me..."
"Accident? Absolutely believe it!"
Liu Feng smiled kindly and nodded in agreement, saying,
"A student accidentally fell into a fire pit in the mountains behind the school, was that also just an accident?"
"Uh..."
Chen Shu swallowed. He now missed the system-rewarded title 'Incineration Enthusiast'.
That was a heaven-defying effect that perfectly preserved ashes!
"Teacher, we were all wrong. We're sorry."
Xu Xiaoyu stood up and said with her head bowed apologetically, "We can compensate you for your losses!"
"Yes, we can all compensate!"
Xia Bing and Wang Qinghan also spoke, being a little unclear about Liu Feng's temperament.
"Compensation?"
Liu Feng raised an eyebrow and said, "The flowers I cultivated are priceless treasures that cannot be found on the market!!"
"They are like my children. You want to make up for it with money? Is that possible?!"
Liu Feng spoke with heartache, then changed his tone and said,
"How about this, five thousand school credits!"
"??"
Chen Shu's body trembled. He truly no longer wished to live.
Five thousand school credits were equivalent to five hundred million. Where was he supposed to get so much money?
He sighed and said, "Teacher, just cremate me!"
"By the way, remember to preserve the ashes and distribute them among everyone present!"
Chen Shu scanned the group and said earnestly,
"If you encounter danger, scatter my ashes. This will be my last protection for you all!"
Everyone's expression was strange. What were meant to be touching words sounded increasingly off.
Chen Shu looked up at the sky and said,
"If there's no danger, just dissolve them in water and drink. At least it can supplement calcium..."
"???"
Everyone's mouths were slightly agape, looking utterly dumbfounded. What kind of brain circuit did you have?
Even Liu Feng was stumped!
After a long pause,
Liu Feng said, "It doesn't have to be that serious. Just agree to one request of mine!"
"What request?"
Chen Shu looked at Liu Feng's smile and felt a chill, saying,
"I won't do anything illegal or against discipline! Unless... you pay extra!"
"Pay extra for what crap!"
Liu Feng patted Chen Shu's head and said,
"It's simple. Participate in the next national beast taming competition and achieve a top-three finish!"
"That's so difficult?!"
Chen Shu immediately lay down on the ground and said, "You might as well cremate me!"
"No problem. After you die, the Spirit Suppression Bureau will investigate and analyze the cause of your death. Someone will then review your browser history..."
"Uh..."
Chen Shu's heart shuddered, and he opened his eyes again, saying,
"I'd better stay alive. It's just a competition, bring it on!"
"I fear not even a thousand cuts to be shattered, to leave purity in the human world!"
"That's good. I won't pursue today's matter! If you dare to break the agreement, the consequences will be severe..."
Liu Feng smiled, calmly sat down, and picked a red flower.
"Hmm... tastes good..."
"Didn't you say they were your children?"
A Liang was stunned. Your expression seems rather enjoyable!
"Are you sick! Who treats flowers as children?!"
Liu Feng pouted, showing no sign of sadness.
"Students, please eat slowly!"
He smiled, dusted himself off, and left the rooftop whistling.
"I feel like I've been tricked by the grand scheme of things!"
Chen Shu felt something was off but couldn't quite pinpoint it.
A flash of inspiration struck him, and he immediately asked,
"Teacher Liu, that unknown number, wasn't it you?!"
Liu Feng didn't respond, only quickened his pace and left the rooftop directly.
"Holy crap, you were the one who told me to come here for hot pot?! This is entrapment!"
