"..."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. I can have Space Rabbit put it away, okay?
"The most important thing is, you draw too much hate!"
Qin Tian said, "If I remember correctly, the Sacred Imperial Society, the Night Organization, and the Church of Salvation all have a great feud with you, right?"
"No way?!"
The other contestants looked over, all giving him a thumbs up.
They were all elites from the country, with impressive family backgrounds, and naturally understood what these three organizations represented.
Chen Shu spread his hands and said, "Alas, it's all due to competition among peers..."
"???"
Qin Tian gave him a rap on the head and said,
"If we weren't short-handed, we would have sent another King-level out."
Actually, Chen Shu had the protection of the Legendary level, so generally, nothing would happen.
But Qin Tian and the others were afraid that this guy would impulsively attack their bases, wouldn't that be pure suicide?
"Alright, you all just stay put. We'll reach Origin Island in one day!"
Qin Tian sat down and simultaneously instructed his contracted spirits to advance at full speed.
The others nodded and sat down with him.
Chen Shu leaned over and said, "Principal, can I ask you a few questions?"
Qin Tian was about to refuse, but Chen Shu interrupted him before he could speak.
"They're all proper questions!"
"Ask away!"
Qin Tian nodded. He was an order keeper for the World Competition and knew quite a bit of the inside story.
Chen Shu leaned closer and said softly,
"Is there any foul play in our competition? If there is, I want to buy the championship!"
"???"
Qin Tian turned to look at him and said calmly, "I want Old Liu to cremate you!"
You're talking about foul play right off the bat, and you even want to buy the championship? Does that count as a proper question?
"What did I do?"
Chen Shu looked innocent and said, "Didn't you tell me to ask?"
Qin Tian glanced at him and said, "I told you to ask about human matters!"
"..."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Then are there any specific rewards? Is there only one divine skill for the champion?"
"I don't know about that."
Qin Tian shook his head and said, "The rewards are all jointly provided by the various countries. I don't know for sure yet, but there will definitely be true treasures, materials, and such."
"Isn't that like saying nothing?"
Chen Shu grumbled to himself, disappointment in his eyes. Then, he seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up.
"What are you up to?"
Qin Tian's expression jolted, and he instinctively distanced himself. This guy seemed to be up to no good again.
"Uh... Principal, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Shu smiled and said, "Why do you think we're participating in the competition?"
Qin Tian tentatively said, "To gain global fame?"
"That's too vain!"
Chen Shu shook his head and said, "I'm not that kind of person."
Qin Tian said again, "To get the rewards?"
"That's right!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "The main reason for participating in the competition is for the rewards!"
"But I think we can completely skip this stage!"
"What do you mean?"
Qin Tian was a bit confused. Without realizing it, he had been led by Chen Shu.
"Why don't we just join forces, snatch the prizes, and then slip away? Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
*Bang!*
"Ah!"
Chen Shu's body was instantly kicked away, falling straight down.
"You're trying to drag everyone down with you, aren't you?"
Qin Tian looked at Chen Shu and couldn't help but shake his head.
This guy was probably beyond saving. In all these years, no one had ever thought of snatching the competition prizes. Wouldn't that make him a public enemy of the world immediately?
"I'm just suggesting!"
Chen Shu shouted back, while simultaneously summoning Little Yellow to catch himself in mid-air.
"Gu ji!"
Little Yellow's [Charge] was unleashed, barely keeping up with Qin Tian's contracted spirit.
Qin Tian turned and said, "Your suggestion is too risky, I can't execute it!"
"Alas..."
Chen Shu drooped his head and looked at the others.
Everyone took a step back, choosing to turn their heads away, acting as if they didn't want to deal with him.
"No one has any ambition?"
Chen Shu sighed and murmured, "My path is too lonely..."
...
In the afternoon, they flew all the way towards China's western border.
"It smells so good!"
Chen Shu sat alone on the head of the Slime, his ambition replaced by appetite.
In front of him was a pot, and he started stir-frying, the aroma instantly spreading.
The others all sniffed involuntarily and swallowed.
It had to be said, this guy's cooking skills seemed to have improved!
After a while, Chen Shu had Erha extinguish the fire and took out a large basin, scooping the fragrant stir-fried green peppers with meat into it.
*Beep!*
The giant rice cooker next to them also made a sound, indicating that the cooking was complete.
"Finally, we can eat."
Chen Shu licked his lips. They had set off at noon in a hurry and hadn't even had lunch.
"Chen Pi..."
Everyone's gaze fell upon him. They weren't hungry initially, but this guy had whetted their appetites.
"What? You guys want to eat?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Then just pay a little for the meal."
"Okay!"
Everyone quickly nodded, already eager.
"Only five hundred thousand each!"
"???"
Everyone's smile instantly froze. You're charging five hundred thousand for a plate of stir-fried dishes?
"I'm not ordinary ingredients!"
Chen Shu pointed at the beast meat in the basin and said, "This is Beast Emperor meat, it's worth this price!"
"Hmm?"
Qin Tian turned to look and said, "When did you kill a Beast Emperor?"
Above Golden Monarch was Beast Emperor. For ferocious beasts of this level, let alone Chen Shu, even he could only flee decisively.
"Isn't this just ordinary Black Iron level beast meat?"
Liu Feng sniffed and immediately recognized the smell.
Chen Shu scratched his head and said seriously, "Uh... I gave it the nickname Beast Emperor, is there a problem?"
"???"
Everyone's mouths twitched, and they prepared to download the anti-fraud app overnight.
However, A Liang and the others remained calm. This guy used the same trick when selling barbecue on Sacred Imperial Island back then...
