"What water? A hen!"
Chen Shu's face was calm, but his heart was startled. Had he been discovered?
Ye Qing frowned, immediately thinking of the tragic state of the ferocious beasts in the "Blazing Sun Hill,"
He stared at Chen Shu, demanding a reasonable explanation!
"What water are you talking about? Did you put laxatives in it!"
"Uh, I was just doing an experiment, and you drank it yourself."
Chen Shu could only confess honestly, saying with an innocent face,
Who would have thought Ye Qing would drink it all in one gulp? He didn't give "Thug Brand Laxatives" any respect at all!
"You brat! I'll deal with you later!"
Ye Qing's stomach churned again, and he immediately turned and left.
Chen Shu shook his head: "So unreasonable. Next time I won't introduce you to the square dancing aunties!"
The next day, Chen Shu arrived at the black market.
The Dali Pharmacy was still as bustling as ever, with the high-grade Dali potions selling out quickly every day.
"Brother Tianba, we're releasing twenty bottles of high-grade Dali potions every day now!"
Chen Shu made a decisive move. With his high reputation in Nanjiang and his Black Iron level strength, he was already a significant figure.
With his strength, he could capture the market share of high-grade Dali potions!
In fact, he could already sell without limit, but he didn't have enough time to prepare the potions.
"Also, help me purchase the medicinal ingredients on this list."
Chen Shu provided a list, which primarily consisted of the main ingredients for Black Iron level potions, each costing hundreds of thousands.
"Don't raise the price, just acquire them slowly!"
Chen Shu said. He had plenty of time, but he lacked money, so he naturally wouldn't buy them at a high price.
Saying that, Chen Shu ducked into the restroom.
The shop had already acquired a large quantity of Dali flowers. He might be leaving Nanjiang City for a while during the summer vacation, so he naturally had to stock up on high-grade Dali potions.
For three consecutive days,
Chen Shu was engrossed in preparing potions and finally used up all the Dali flowers.
Looking at the hundreds of bottles of high-grade Dali potions before him,
Chen Shu nodded with satisfaction. It was enough for about a month and a half.
"Brother Tianba, please take care of the shop for us!"
Wang Tianba and the others patted their chests, assuring Chen Shu that they would.
"Oh right, Young Master Chen, this is the shop's accumulated income recently!"
Saying that, Wang Tianba transferred twelve million to Chen Shu.
The shop was now generating over three million in pure profit per month, which was no less than the large shops in the city center.
But unfortunately, it was still too little for Chen Shu.
He left the black market shop and returned home.
Just as he was about to wash up, his phone rang.
"Hello? Sister Fang Si?"
"Chen Pi, congratulations. I just came out of the alternate dimension."
"What's there to congratulate? It was all within expectations!"
"Stop being so glib! Do you have any plans for the summer vacation?"
Chen Shu's eyes flickered as he said, "I plan to make some money. I've already bought stockings."
"What the hell? Are you going to sell yourself?"
"How is that possible? I, Chen Shu, have principles, you know. I plan to wear them on my head."
"Get lost!"
Fang Si's mouth twitched. She didn't expect Chen Shu to be so outrageous.
"Come find me during the summer vacation. A teammate in our beast-taming team had an accident and needs someone to fill in. Since you're Black Iron level now, want to come?"
"Didn't you just come out of an alternate dimension? Do you have to push yourself so hard?"
Fang Si said helplessly, "I'm about to break through to Silver level, and I need a lot of resources. Do you think I want to risk my life!"
As Chen Shu was about to answer, options appeared before his eyes.
[Option 1: Agree to Fang Si and go to the alternate dimension together! Reward: Skill Book - Thunder Strike]
[Option 2: Agree to Ye Qing and undertake a mission with his students! Reward: Large amount of Beast Taming Power]
[Option 3: Stay in the black market shop and earn money by preparing potions! Reward: Two Level 2 Giant Growth Fruits]
[Option 4: Go on a trip with Xie Sunan and relax! Reward: Husky's intelligence +1]
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. He was instantly attracted by the reward of the fourth option.
"Are you kidding me? What's the use of a husky with intelligence?"
He considered the first three options and nodded in agreement to Fang Si.
"Alright! When do you depart? I'll come over as soon as possible!"
"Mid-July should be fine."
The two hung up, and Chen Shu decided to head to the capital again.
As for Xie Sunan and Ye Qing, he could only decline.
"Let's rest for a while first."
It was late June, and there were still nearly ten days before the agreed time, so he could rest for now.
He tidied himself up and returned to his room.
"Acquire some medicinal ingredients."
Chen Shu now had a sum of funds and could start by buying the main medicinal ingredients at a high price.
Especially for the slime's size potion, defense potion, and the husky's elemental potion, all of which greatly improved combat power.
He logged onto the Beast Tamer Association website, which was filled with all sorts of acquisition information.
"Nanjiang Thug Chen Shu, high-price acquisition of Level 2 Giant Growth Fruit, Level 2 Iron Core Fruit!"
"Interested parties, private message me! A personally signed autograph included!"
Chen Shu nodded with satisfaction. With the allure of his autograph, he believed he would be able to collect the main medicinal ingredients quickly.
He stretched lazily and promptly fell asleep.
Several days passed, and it was soon July.
Chen Shu sat on the balcony with a melancholic expression. No one had sold him any medicinal ingredients.
"Could it be that my autograph has no appeal anymore?!"
Chen Shu sighed, tilting his head back: "It seems half the market price won't get me any medicinal ingredients."
He had no idea that during this time, many people had clicked on his acquisition information, only to leave cursing.
"Said they would buy at a high price, but it turned out to be only half the market price!"
Just then, his phone rang.
"Xu Xingxing: Hey, Chen Pi, I'm going abroad. Let's get together again."
"Sure!"
Chen Shu nodded and put away his phone.
Xu Xingxing was already waiting at a restaurant in the city center, with Shen Wushuang also sitting beside him.
"Where's Old Xie?"
Chen Shu came to his seat.
"He seems to be buying travel supplies!"
Shen Wushuang looked at him and asked, "Chen Pi, what are you doing this summer vacation?"
"There are quite a lot of Dragon Riders in Nanjiang City lately. My advice is, you'd better keep a low profile."
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "I, Chen Shu, walk the straight and narrow path. What am I afraid of?"
"Besides, I'm going to the capital. What do the Nanjiang City Dragon Riders have to do with me?"
"Are you relocating your criminal activities?"
Shen Wushuang looked a little uneasy and said, "Going to the capital to find Fang Si?!"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "What do you mean by relocating criminal activities? This is contributing to the capital!"
"You can forget about it."
Shen Wushuang's eyes were filled with worry. These two truly gave him both joy and sorrow.
As the three were chatting, Xie Sunan still hadn't arrived.
"What's wrong with Old Xie? Constipation?"
Chen Shu frowned and dialed his phone: "Hey, Old Xie!"
"Chen Pi, what's wrong?"
"Xie Burou, do you know what's most important when you're in the business?"
"Huh? Loyalty?"
"When you're in the business, you gotta get out first!"
Chen Shu said, "If you don't come soon, forget about the food, even Teacher Shen will be cold!"
