"..."
Everyone around turned to look, their expressions incredibly strange.
The three exchanged glances, shook their heads, and got up.
Chen Shu muttered, "This is worse than just saying our names..."
The girl spoke, "Chen Shu, freshman at Huaxia Academy, Beast Taming Class Three..."
"Ning Jie..."
Chen Shu quickly stopped her. He asked her to just say his name, but she went and blurted out all his information...
He, the dignified Southern River Bandit, had become a "sprayer." How could he live with himself after this?
"Come in!"
The girl shook her head, a smile still in her eyes.
A Liang asked softly, "Is this your acquaintance?"
Chen Shu nodded. The girl was none other than a member of Fang Si's Beast Taming team, Ning Qingyi!
The three entered the diagnostic room together.
Chen Shu asked, "Ning Jie, with your excellent beast-taming talent, why are you opening a clinic?"
"I'm free recently, so I'm helping a friend!"
Now that Ning Qingyi only had her final graduation assessment left, she had some spare time.
"Lie down!"
Ning Qingyi took out a medical instrument and checked the three of them in turn.
She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What did you three eat?"
Chen Shu scratched his head and said, "Just some snacks..."
"Snacks?"
Ning Qingyi's mouth twitched, and she asked, "What exactly did you eat?"
"Uh... meat from a King-level Contracted Spirit."
"King-level?"
Ning Qingyi's eyes widened. "You got King-level meat?"
Chen Shu said, "I freeloaded it from someone else!"
"..."
Ning Qingyi shook her head. You could freeload anything, couldn't you?
"The energy in the meat is too high, your stomachs can't digest it. It's nothing serious, and your physical fitness will improve quite a bit!"
Saying this, she prescribed them some potent digestive aids.
"By the way, Jie, when does your graduation assessment start?"
Chen Shu asked, "I want to go with you..."
"Forget it!"
Ning Qingyi's mouth twitched. "Jie just wants to graduate smoothly. Don't torture me..."
If Chen Shu caused another spatial anomaly then, wouldn't everyone's graduation be delayed?
"..."
Chen Shu and the other two left the clinic with their medicine.
"Still want to get some late-night snacks?"
"Get... what snacks!"
The three unfortunate brothers returned to their dorm and immediately started fighting over the toilet...
Another sleepless night...
The next morning,
As Chen Shu was squatting, Liu Feng called.
"Chen Shu, when do you have time? You can come over to collect your mission rewards!"
"Later, I'm busy!"
"What's that noise from your side? It sounds strange!"
Chen Shu said comfortably, "We're fighting!"
"Huh?"
"I mean, I'm on the toilet!"
"What the heck!"
"No need, I'm used to doing it myself!"
"Get lost!"
The two ended the call.
A moment later, Chen Shu left the toilet with a pleased expression.
"My body has really gotten stronger!"
Chen Shu twisted his body, feeling like he had inexhaustible strength and was no longer afraid of the cold.
That King-level Contracted Spirit was fire-attributed, so it was normal for it to have such an effect.
"Awesome! So awesome!"
For ordinary beast tamers, physical fitness wasn't of much use, but for a bandit, it was quite important!
Without strong enough physical fitness, how could he properly use the divine artifact, the urea bag?
"Chen Pi, are you having an episode this early in the morning?"
At this moment, Wang Jue and A Liang arrived in the living room, also looking invigorated.
Chen Shu asked, "Don't you feel your bodies have gotten stronger?"
"Hmm?"
The two were slightly taken aback and twisted their bodies, also sensing something different.
"Damn, it really seems like we've gotten stronger!"
Joy appeared in their eyes. "If we ate that stuff every day, wouldn't we be invincible?"
"Eat it every day? Do you really think it's cabbage?!"
Chen Shu pouted. "Besides, it's impossible to buy!"
If he hadn't incited Liu Feng and the others, they wouldn't have been able to eat flesh and blood of this level.
"What a pity!"
The two had looks of regret. They came to the balcony, preparing to wash up.
"I'm leaving first!"
Chen Shu, however, carried his combat backpack and opened the dorm door.
A Liang asked, "We have classes today, where are you going?"
"I took a month's leave, and it's not up yet. If I attend class early, wouldn't that be breaking my word?"
"I, Chen Shu, have always valued integrity the most!"
"..."
The two's mouths slightly parted as they watched him leave.
As expected of you, the Southern River Bandit!
...
"Teacher Liu, I'm here!"
Chen Shu directly pushed open the office door and walked in whistling.
"Principal Qin is here too?"
Liu Feng looked over and asked with a smile, "Is the war over?"
"It's over early!"
Chen Shu licked his lips and said, "Do you still have any of that meat..."
"???"
Liu Feng's gaze was strange. "Are you addicted to spraying?"
Chen Shu nodded instinctively.
But he immediately added, "Mainly, it can improve physical strength. Didn't you notice?"
"We don't feel anything!"
Liu Feng looked at Qin Tian, who also nodded.
"What are your ages? It definitely won't work!"
Chen Shu pouted. "I'm still young and need to grow!"
"Get lost!"
Liu Feng directly waved his hand. "The meat has already been handed over to the academy. You kid shouldn't think about it!"
"Sigh..."
Chen Shu sighed. "Then what about my mission reward?"
"Old Liu told us about your performance, that you held back the Gold-level Beast Tamers on the island. The final decision is to settle your reward at six thousand academic points!"
"Only six thousand?"
Chen Shu's eyes widened. "I was the main force, alright? That Gold-level Beast Tamer was just an assistant!"
"Kid, the maximum reward for the mission is six thousand, and you're still not satisfied?"
Qin Tian's mouth twitched. He thought Chen Shu would be overjoyed, but he didn't expect him to be so greedy.
Liu Feng shook his head. "Six thousand isn't enough?! Killing a Black Iron-level Monarch only rewards you two thousand academic points!"
"No! This is considered bringing glory to the country!"
Chen Shu argued passionately, "Besides, I blew up the entire island and destroyed all the church's wealth!"
Finally, after back and forth bargaining and a tug-of-war,
The mission reward was successfully reduced from six thousand academic points to... five thousand academic points!
"Enough! Don't lower it any further!"
Chen Shu wore a pained expression. He had done his best in the negotiation...
