A group of people left Longjiang Province with smiles, feeling extremely pleased.
This time, Chen Shu's contribution was the greatest, and the official rewards for him would undoubtedly be the most generous.
However, others would be well-fed even if they just followed along.
...
As evening fell, in the commercial center of the Huaxia District in the capital,
A massive projection screen in the square was displaying the latest information about fierce beasts.
Although the capital had not been disturbed by fierce beasts, the people in the city still cared about the safety of other regions.
When they heard that the fierce beast incident was about to conclude, everyone was filled with joy and even cheered aloud.
To reassure the public, the authorities specifically broadcasted footage of the Snow King instantly killing a Longyuan creature.
In an instant, people were filled with confidence in the power of the authorities and aspired even more to the profession of Beast Tamer.
Next, the authorities broadcasted the achievements of many outstanding Beast Tamers.
Chen Shu and his companions were among them.
A group of Silver Beast Tamers hunting double-digit Golden Lords was truly fantastical, shattering everyone's predictions.
As the crowd was discussing,
A huge spherical object appeared in the sky and drifted by.
The crowd below froze for a moment, and then, in the next second, recognized it as the Fiend's contracted spirit, erupting into cheers.
In an instant, the names of Chen Shu and his companions resounded throughout the entire commercial center.
"We've become big stars!"
Xie Su Nan couldn't help but grin, appearing incredibly excited. He had never experienced such treatment before.
"Feels good, doesn't it?"
A Liang raised an eyebrow, his eyes also filled with a smile.
"By the way, Old Xie, are you returning to the Reconnaissance Department? We're going back to the academy."
Xie Su Nan pondered for a moment and said,
"I'll return to school with you. Now that the fierce beast incident is over, the Reconnaissance Department can relax for a while."
"Guji!"
Xiao Huang flew towards Huaxia Academy. Wherever it passed, crowds cheered.
They were all young people, and receiving such an honor made them feel incredibly elated.
The people below looked up at the yellow sphere in the sky with excitement.
Chen Shu and his companions had not only achieved great honor in the world competition but had also contributed to fighting fierce beasts.
Such prodigies deserved everyone's cheers and applause!
Until, four hours later...
"I'm really impressed by these sly guys. They've been flying back and forth for so long, aren't they tired?"
"It's the contracted spirit flying, so they're not tired..."
"Should we still cheer?"
"Cheer for what? Let's go home, eat, and sleep!"
"Given this guy's personality, he could fly here for a day and a night..."
The crowd was becoming frustrated and started leaving the streets, opting to go home.
This guy's showboating exceeded their expectations by far...
"Why is it silent now?"
Chen Shu looked down and saw that no one was paying attention to them anymore.
"That's enough, you!"
A Liang and the others couldn't take it anymore. Initially, they were a bit excited and proud,
but listening for four hours straight, anyone would be overwhelmed...
"It's a rare opportunity! Of course, we should cherish it!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, sounding a bit tempted. "How about we go visit other cities?"
"Get lost! Let us down!"
A Liang and the others shouted in unison, decisively refusing.
Are you out of your mind?
Finally, after some persuasion, Chen Shu returned to the academy.
"I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep soundly right now!"
A Liang lay comfortably on the sofa, feeling a sense of security he hadn't felt in a long time.
The past month had been spent either hunting lords or on the way to hunt them.
Moreover, the constant need to be wary of Longyuan creatures had kept their nerves on edge.
Now that their minds relaxed, the fatigue surged back like a tide.
"Sleep!"
Chen Shu slapped his thigh and also got up, preparing to go back to his room.
"No, wait a moment!"
Xie Su Nan, seeing everyone getting up, quickly said,
"Where am I going to sleep?"
A Liang replied, "Just make do on the sofa."
"No, I'm a guest, can you not be so rough..."
Xie Su Nan's eyes showed dissatisfaction. Is this the hospitality of your dormitory 333?
Wang Jue yawned and said,
"I'm already sleeping with Xiao Xing, so you can either sleep with A Liang or with Chen Pi."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Xie's gaze immediately fell upon A Liang and Chen Shu!
A Liang shrugged and said,
"My elders gave me protective measures. If anyone gets too close to me, they will be triggered..."
"..."
Xie Su Nan's lips twitched, and he instinctively thought of that legendary contracted spirit...
Although he thought it was unlikely, he didn't dare to risk it. What if it was really triggered...
In an instant, Xie Su Nan turned his head and looked at Chen Shu with a smiling expression.
Chen Shu smiled kindly and said, "Let's share. You and I."
"You're still so loyal!"
Old Xie gave him a thumbs-up and said, "As expected of my good brother!"
The next second, Chen Shu calmly stretched.
Bang!
A large pile of bottles and jars fell from him, all containing gray potions!
Instantly, everyone distanced themselves, their eyes filled with horror.
"You?!"
Xie Su Nan's expression froze. Are you serious?
"It's nothing, they just fell out accidentally."
Chen Shu was slightly startled, then calmly picked them up and said, "Old Xie, let's go, time for bed!"
"..."
Xie Su Nan's forehead was covered in black lines, and his gaze became extremely strange. This guy is like a walking nuclear bomb!
"That... I..."
"What are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"
"I think... the sofa is actually quite comfortable..."
Xie Su Nan jumped up and lay straight on the sofa, firmly declaring,
"Anyone who doesn't let me sleep on the sofa, I'll fight them!"
"You, you're just too stubborn."
A mysterious smile flickered across Chen Shu's lips as he returned to his room.
"Little chap!"
Chen Shu muttered to himself, casually tossing the gray potions aside.
Of course, they weren't real nuclear potions, just similar in appearance and specifically used for deterrence.
As the Fiend of Nanjiang, he certainly couldn't let people guess how many nuclear bombs he had...
