"Hmm?"
Elder Li frowned and said, "I want to see, isn't it just a resume?"
Qin Tian obediently handed over his resume, even closing his eyes, looking resigned.
After a while, Li Jianguo's expression gradually became strange. He looked at the resume and then at Chen Shu, as if pondering something.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and said, "Elder Li, is my resume impressive?"
"..."
Li Jianguo's mouth twitched and he said, "My eyes are about to be blinded by its brilliance..."
"Little Chen, is this really your resume?"
He still found it hard to accept, wondering if the job-seeking paths of young people today were this wild.
"Yes!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "Elder Li, can you help me find a job?"
"Next time! Definitely next time!"
Li Jianguo tactfully refused.
Finding a job for Chen Shu would be ridiculous.
Such a monumental task was best left for Qin Tian and the others to solve...
"Little Chen, we're mainly here to reward you today!"
Li Jianguo changed the subject and said, "You played a paramount role in the destruction of the Dark Night stronghold this time!"
"Elder Li, you flatter me! As an outstanding youth of the new era, this is my duty!"
"If everyone had a heart of dedication, the world would surely be a better place!"
Chen Shu's expression was serious, then his tone shifted:
"By the way, what's the reward?"
"..."
Li Jianguo raised his eyebrows. Although he had reviewed Chen Shu's information, he still found it a little unaccustomed.
"I've looked into your contracted spirits, and there aren't many things that would be useful to them now."
He said with a smile, then took out a backpack.
Inside were two bottles of potions, a blue stone, and an armband!
"Two bottles of Level 1, No. 004 potions, which can reduce the cooldown time of your contracted spirit's skills!"
He pointed to the potions above, then said, "A silver-grade true treasure that increases body size, I think it will be useful to you."
Chen Shu nodded. One was for Erha to use, and the other was for the Slime.
The officials clearly had their own considerations and ultimately gave out the rewards.
But Chen Shu's gaze was fixed on the armband. Could he be becoming a Dragon Guard?
"This is the Bronze Armband of the Dragon Guard!"
Li Jianguo's expression was serious, and he said, "I hope you will make good use of it!"
According to the Dragon Guard's rank classification, a gold armband represented a formal member, and silver represented an intern.
Bronze, however, was for peripheral personnel, and one could only become a Dragon Guard after passing through layers of assessment.
"Can't I get a gold one?"
Chen Shu lowered his head and said, "I've always wanted to be a Dragon Guard!"
"This old man did his best..."
Li Jianguo patted his shoulder and said, "Having a bronze armband isn't bad at all!!"
"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Was it really that difficult?
"The armband is mainly to give you an identity!"
Qin Tian explained, "Bronze Dragon Guards basically have no mandatory missions, and it won't affect your daily life."
"Moreover, if you do anything in the future, you'll be considered an official person, and no one else will talk."
"Is that so..."
Chen Shu nodded, not refusing. It was equivalent to the officials giving him a privilege. In times of crisis, he could handle matters in his own way.
Li Jianguo said seriously:
"I hope you use it well, but if you do anything that harms the public, I will personally take it back!"
"Elder Li, don't worry!"
Chen Shu nodded heavily, then put the armband on his right arm.
His expression was firm, and he said word by word:
"I, the fierce bandit of Nanjiang, will definitely be a good Dragon Guard!"
"???"
The expressions of the three instantly became extremely strange, feeling something was off.
Chen Shu asked, "Elder Li, now that I've put on the armband, can I leave the academy at any time?"
"Hmm?"
Li Jianguo was slightly taken aback and said, "Can't college students leave?"
"You don't know this, Elder!"
Chen Shu sighed and immediately began to complain, saying, "I've been illegally detained! To leave the academy, I need their permission. They treat me like a prisoner!"
Qin Tian quickly explained, "Elder Li, we are just doing it for world peace..."
"..."
Li Jianguo looked at the three, finding it utterly absurd. Was this a normal teacher-student relationship?
He pondered for a moment and said, "Little Chen, there's actually an opportunity to leave school right now, do you want it?"
"Yes! I really want to!"
Chen Shu nodded quickly, feeling quite bored.
With no classes in his junior year, the students were either doing internships or adventuring in other dimensions.
Only he was like a lingering fierce bandit, wandering around the campus aimlessly all day...
Crucially, the system wasn't triggering any options!
"Elder Li, think thrice!"
Qin Tian and Liu Feng said in unison, already intimidated by Chen Shu.
"It's still about the Dark Night organization!"
Li Jianguo sat down and said, "Although the stronghold has been destroyed, there are still some assassins on active duty who are alive!"
Chen Shu nodded, not surprised.
In such situations, it was impossible to avoid having assassins on missions.
"Now, it seems they have received orders from the Dark Night headquarters. These assassins have not only not withdrawn from the country but have started taking on large contracts for revenge!"
Li Jianguo's expression turned cold and he said, "Ling Chen has been targeted by assassins from the Dark Group!"
"Ling Chen?"
Qin Tian's expression startled, and he asked, "Is he alright?"
Ling Chen was the previous prodigy of Huaxia Academy. Of course, his talent was significantly inferior to Chen Shu's, but he was still a top genius of that generation.
"The show-off has been targeted?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, remembering the red-haired man, Da Feng Novel Network.
"..."
The three turned to look at him. Couldn't he stop making up nicknames?
"He only sustained some injuries!"
Li Jianguo said, "Ling Chen is already a Golden Beast Tamer, and he still couldn't avoid the attack. You can imagine what happened to others."
Chen Shu nodded. He himself had been injured by assassins from the Dark Group back then.
The Dark Group, though ordinary people, could perfectly conceal their killing intent, making them quite tricky.
If a Beast Tamer were to lose focus for even a moment, they could be instantly killed by specially designed armor-piercing rounds!
"Little Chen, you can recognize people from the Dark Night organization, right?"
Li Jianguo said, "There are quite a few assassins in Kyoto now, and we need your help!"
He didn't ask Chen Shu how he could recognize the assassins. Everyone had their own secrets, as long as it was beneficial to maintaining social stability.
All three turned to look at him. They weren't forcing Chen Shu to act.
Although this situation arose from the destruction of the Dark Night organization's stronghold, Chen Shu couldn't be blamed. It was like being treated for a tumor; one couldn't blame the doctor for the scar left behind.
Chen Shu was about to reply when new options appeared before his eyes...
