Chen Shu's eyes held a trace of contemplation. After a moment of silence, he asked with interest,
"Oh? How will the spoils be divided?"
The man's expression brightened, thinking Chen Shu was tempted. He quickly replied,
"The leading beast tamer gets half, and the remaining nine of us will split the rest!"
"So little?"
Chen Shu frowned, a hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
The man was not surprised. Such geniuses naturally needed more resources.
Just as he was about to bargain, his words got stuck in his throat.
"I only get half? Forget it then."
"???"
The man was utterly bewildered, unable to react for a moment.
After a while, he chuckled and said, "Brother, the leader is that Golden Beast Tamer..."
So, you consider yourself the leader?
Chen Shu said, "What do you mean? Isn't that half mine?"
The man remained silent, simply giving him a look that spoke volumes.
"Forget it, please leave."
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "By the way, why are nine people splitting it? Shouldn't it be thirteen?"
"Uh... we only invited you. Your teammates are only Silver One-star, it's really..."
The man smiled, but his meaning was clear without him having to say it.
Ah Liang and his group's combat power was also astonishing, but having just become Silver-ranked, no matter how strong they were, they couldn't shake a Golden Lord.
"If you're interested, you can contact me!"
The man said, "My promise still stands, you can take an extra share compared to us Silver-ranked ones!"
With that, he left a business card and quickly departed.
"Old Wang, Xiao Xing, we've actually been looked down upon?"
Ah Liang's eyes were filled with disbelief. They were geniuses who had reached the top four in the world competition, yet they were scorned by a civilian beast tamer group...
"Currently, it seems so..."
Wang Jue nodded, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Xie Su Nan's lips curved into a smile, and she said excitedly, "Fortunately, I'm only Black Iron Three-star, so I wasn't looked down upon..."
"???"
Chen Shu and the others all turned to look at her. You really know how to comfort yourself...
"Chen Pi, you're really not tempted? That's a Golden Lord!"
Ah Liang raised an eyebrow and said, "If successful, it's worth at least five hundred million!"
"Get outta here!"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "After splitting, it's only tens of millions."
Clearly, the other party had mistaken Chen Shu for an ordinary student, completely unaware of his procurement capabilities.
...
Half an hour later, the five of them left the Beast Tamer Association.
Wang Jue asked, "Chen Pi, what now?"
"Let's find the Golden Lord directly!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly, confidence in his eyes.
"???"
The four of them were stunned for a moment, then asked, "Maliciously feeding kills?"
They were all Silver-ranked beast tamers. Even with astonishing talent, they couldn't possibly fight a Golden Lord directly. The level gap was simply too vast.
Moreover, as a lord, it was reasonable for them to have hundreds of subordinates, right?
"Don't worry."
Chen Shu smiled and summoned his Golden Slime, which hovered in the sky above Longyun City.
"We're here to resolve the ferocious beast incident, so naturally, we'll capture the leader first."
"You can fight a lord?"
Ah Liang and the others' gazes were a little strange; they simply couldn't believe it.
"I have my ways!"
Chen Shu grinned and said, "Ah Liang, can you track the location of the ferocious beasts?"
"Yes, but it will take some time."
Xie Su Nan nodded, confidence in her eyes.
In fact, finding the lord's location was not difficult at all, unless they possessed skills that were adept at hiding.
The only difficulty now was how to deal with them...
"Alright! Let's do it!"
The Golden Slime directly unleashed its Charge skill and headed straight for the outskirts of the city.
"Alright, everyone, don't worry!"
Chen Shu said, "The intel mentioned that the mutated ferocious beasts are distributed in different locations, which also means the lord might not have subordinates nearby."
"If we're lucky, we'll only have to face one lord."
"That's still tough. My Thunder Ape and Snowball can't even break its defenses."
Ah Liang was still not optimistic, but thinking of the mutated Thunderbird, he wasn't worried about safety.
"I have this!"
Chen Shu smiled slightly and took out the only potion he had: a disguise potion!
The effect of the disguise potion was simple and crude: as long as the contracted spirit consumed it, other creatures would treat it as one of their own.
He had previously used the disguise potion to steal the True Treasure of the Black Tree King in the [Living Wood Swamp] and had even dominated geniuses in his grade. The effects had been quite good.
"This potion..."
Ah Liang was slightly taken aback. Although he didn't understand what kind of potion it was, his confidence instantly surged.
As everyone knew, Bandit's potions were even more monstrous than he was!
"Feeling more at ease now?"
Chen Shu smiled and said, "Let's try to deal with as many Golden Lords as possible and end the ferocious beast incident early. I'm busy looking for a job in my senior year."
Before long, the group left the city's protective shield, meaning ferocious beasts could appear at any moment.
Xie Su Nan immediately had her insect butterflies stand guard, scanning the surrounding life forms.
Ah Liang opened his smart computer, input the recently obtained ferocious beast distribution information, and said,
"Searching counter-clockwise from south to north, the probability of encountering a Golden Lord is the highest."
"Okay!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "Let's go back into Little Yellow's mouth first, it's safer."
With that, Ah Liang jumped first, sliding down from Little Yellow's forehead and successfully landing inside its mouth.
Wang Jue and Xie Su Nan followed closely.
"Xiao Xing, it's your turn to jump."
Chen Shu looked at Xu Xing Xing and said, "Why are you spacing out?"
"Uh... yes, okay!"
Xu Xing Xing nodded and, along with Chen Shu, entered Little Yellow's mouth.
"Gulp!"
Little Yellow cast a [Powerful Shield] on itself, instantly transforming into a mobile fortress and began moving along the designated trajectory.
"Xiao Xing, what were you thinking just now?"
Chen Shu turned to look at her, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
"I was thinking, why did the ferocious beasts riot simultaneously, as if they had planned it all along?"
Xu Xing Xing's eyes held a thoughtful expression, saying, "Previous riots were all individual actions from different dimensions, completely different from this time."
"Hmm?"
Wang Jue was slightly taken aback, then said, "Could it be that there's a connection between the ferocious beasts?"
"But they're all from different dimensions, and there's Spatial Fog separating them. How can they connect?"
Xu Xing Xing asked in confusion:
"Don't tell me they can call each other or video chat..."
