"What the heck?!"
Everyone's bodies jolted, their eyes widened, and their actions of stuffing meat into their mouths froze.
You call an emetic a dessert after a meal?
"Uh..."
Chen Shu pointed at the fat rabbit beside him and said, "I think I'm still a bit short on this thing..."
"Everyone scatter, this guy's gone mad!"
Zhang Dali was the first to get up, holding two large pieces of meat, and prepared to flee...
"You're something else, Chen Pi!"
Liu Feng's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected anyone to be so outrageous.
"Alright!"
He said to Chen Shu, "The school has a Tier 2 potion with a skill evolution effect. One bottle is usually enough."
"Really? I don't remember!"
Chen Shu stroked his chin, his eyes uncertain.
"Of course, it has one, although the effect isn't significant. It's just right for your situation."
Chen Shu nodded and immediately looked at everyone, saying,
"I was just joking earlier. Am I that inhumane, I, Chen Shu?"
Everyone nodded decisively. Hesitating for even a second would be an insult to the South Jiang Ruffian!
"..."
Chen Shu didn't care at all and leant over shamelessly.
The group didn't eat for long before feeling incredibly full. The energy contained within was too immense.
"Huhu~"
The spatial rabbit quickly swallowed the remaining flesh and blood. As expected... it was still a bit short!
"This is amazing!"
Zhang Dali patted his belly, never having been so satisfied.
Using the flesh and blood of a King as ingredients was simply a luxurious act.
His mentor, a King-level Spirit Chef, rarely had the chance to try it.
King flesh and blood were generally used to make special potions.
In the Beast Taming world, the priority of potions was clearly higher than that of recipes.
"Yes, my body feels all warm."
Everyone's faces were flushed, radiating heat, and their physical strength had already been augmented.
Chen Shu lay comfortably on the ground, looking up at the clear night sky.
He asked, "The competition is about to start. How are you all prepared?"
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Xu Xiaoyu sighed and said, "I've already been eliminated."
"Me too."
"Can't beat them, really can't beat them..."
Xia Bing and Wang Qinghan also had looks of dejection in their eyes.
As geniuses of South Jiang Second High School, failing to even pass the preliminary rounds was indeed quite disheartening.
Xie Sunan patted his chest and said with relief,
"Fortunately, I didn't participate..."
"..."
Everyone turned to look at him. Why was there a hint of pride in his tone... Da Feng Novel Network
Chen Shu asked, "That's not right, Xia Bing. You can even defeat Xia Yan. You didn't pass the preliminary round?"
In his impression, Xu Xiaoyu and the other two weren't lacking in talent.
"The number of participants in the Black Iron tier was too high, and the preliminary rounds were too brutal. Plus, my two teammates..."
Xia Bing gave a bitter smile. Her strength was good, but her two teammates were too weak.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Chen Shu comforted them, "When the time comes, I'll win the national championship directly. Just mention my name when you go out!"
"..."
Xu Xiaoyu and the others smiled upon hearing this, saying,
"Alright, actually, we didn't pay too much attention. It was mainly about participating, unlike someone who's cheating!"
Chen Shu said seriously, "My effort is my greatest cheat!"
"Then when was the last time you cultivated?"
Old Xie asked, and everyone else looked over, wanting to hear the answer.
"Tch! So boring!"
Chen Shu pouted and remained silent. Who would know the answer to this question?
Happy times always passed quickly.
Late at night, everyone parted amidst laughter and joy...
...
The next day,
Chen Shu slept in comfortably and only left his room around noon.
A Liang and the other two went to the Beast Taming Hall for training as usual. They were truly serious about the Beast Taming competition.
Just then, someone walked out from the balcony.
"Chen Pi, your things!"
Liu Feng threw out a container jar and a blue bead,
These were the core materials of the King and a Beast Taming Pearl!
Last night, Chen Shu had asked Liu Feng to help appraise their value.
On one hand, it was for easier distribution of spoils, and on the other hand, it would help him decide whether to sell them or keep them.
"The core material's value isn't high, probably only fifteen billion!"
Liu Feng sat down and said, "As for the Beast Taming Pearl, it's worth at least ten billion."
"The materials are so cheap?"
Chen Shu frowned and asked, "Weren't they said to be from twenty billion to fifty billion?"
"Who could have imagined you'd encounter a new King? A Silver One-Star King, too weak!"
Liu Feng said, "And it's ice-attributed. If it were lightning or fire attribute, it might be more sought after."
"Combined with the King's flesh and blood, the total value of this King is less than forty billion?"
Chen Shu found it hard to believe, as he had initially expected a haul of at least a hundred billion.
Liu Feng comforted him, "There were no Silver True Treasures, and its strength was too weak. Forty billion is good."
"If you want to sell them, you can sell them directly to the academy."
"Teacher Liu, no need."
Chen Shu shook his head and asked, "What skills can be comprehended from this core material?"
"Take a look yourself."
He took out a document, which was a report from the appraisal institution.
'Skill One: True Damage Ice Thorn (Deals true damage that ignores defense and slows the target's speed)'
'Skill Two: Ice Snow Cold Armor (Can resist any incoming damage, and temporarily increases water attribute)'
'Skill Three: Blizzard (Summons wind and snow, freezing enemies in the vicinity and dealing extremely high damage! Note: Requires standing still and continuous casting)'
"This core material..."
Chen Shu stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Because it was a professional appraisal institution that compared the genes of various lords on the [Ice Snow Island], the deduced skills were basically nine times out of ten correct.
"It's a pity there's no killing move from that blue snow cluster."
He sighed, a hint of regret in his eyes.
The Ice Snow Tiger King's strength had been greatly weakened by the death potion,
But that killing move was still so terrifying; its damage could definitely crush Golden-tier skills.
Apart from [Blizzard], he had witnessed the effects of the first two skills, and they were indeed extremely useful.
Actually, the Ice Snow Tiger King had released [Blizzard] before, but it was directly interrupted by the stun effect of the spatial rabbit's innate weapon...
"You decide for yourself."
Liu Feng didn't offer any advice. Unless it was something he had researched thoroughly himself, he wouldn't interfere with Chen Shu's decisions.
...
In the evening,
"Chen Pi, you're taking all the items, so I'm essentially receiving ten billion Chinese Yuan!"
Xie Sunan rubbed his hands, his expression extremely excited.
Chen Shu took out all the materials from the thirty-one Silver Lords he had acquired.
"You have to keep them safe for me!"
A hint of tears flickered in his eyes, filled with reluctance.
"Don't worry, I'll cherish them!"
Xie Sunan said with a grin and took all the materials.
Chen Shu still tightly gripped a corner of the urea bag, saying unwillingly,
"Do you have a way to sell them? Should I introduce you?"
"No need, I have plenty of connections!"
He directly yanked it over and said,
"Is there more?"
The Silver materials were only over four hundred million, and he had to share a portion of it himself, so naturally, it wasn't even half enough.
"I'll transfer my school credits to you too!"
Chen Shu gritted his teeth and transferred all the more than 4,000 school credits from his card.
School credits came from club funds and the reward for passing the preliminary rounds, as well as Liu Feng's 2,000-credit quest reward.
School credits at Huaxia Academy were hard currency in the capital.
Although Xie Sunan couldn't buy things within the academy, he could store them in his online account and sell them to those who needed them.
"It seems like I'm still a bit short..."
Xie Sunan grinned, already preparing to milk Chen Shu dry.
"I'll transfer you more Chinese Yuan!"
Chen Shu's expression was pained as he gave out the little remaining balance on his card.
He now experienced the feeling of using "super credit" plus cash when buying things in the past...
