The other party fell silent, said "fine," and hung up the phone.
Chen Shu decided to go to Daxing City when school started.
How could his vacation time be filled with official business?
Shen Wushuang also had to share the money, so he would certainly allow him to take leave.
Two days passed.
Chen Shu only went to the hospital once to fully heal the slime's injuries. He spent the rest of his time in his room researching skills.
Chen Shu reviewed hundreds of talent skills and finally selected several:
They were the Savage Charge of the Iron-Backed Mighty Ox, the Golden Thorn Counterattack of the Gold-Thorn Hedgehog, and the Flame Leap of the Skyfire Savage Ape.
However, he was currently only an intern Beastmaster and could not log into the Beastmaster Association website. He could only do so by posting bounty missions.
He would rely on luck.
Chen Shu planned to find time to post the missions.
"Son, did you go to the Ice Chasm dimension?"
Just then, his father's voice came from outside the room.
Chen Shu walked out and saw his parents intently watching the TV news.
"Dimension: A massive explosion occurred in the Ice Chasm, causing beast riots. Adventurous Beastmasters have fled early."
"Now, Golden Beastmaster Xiao Feng will answer our questions."
Chen Shu walked up to the TV screen with a look of interest.
He saw a reporter from Nancang Satellite TV interviewing a man in a black suit.
The man looked calm and composed.
"It's the powerhouse who controls that Blazing Sky Dragon!"
Chen Shu immediately recognized him.
"Dear viewers, I specifically visited the Ice Chasm two days ago. One-sixth of the area has turned into ruins. We haven't reached a definite conclusion yet, but everyone need not panic."
The TV displayed photos of the current Ice Chasm, with part of it in ruins and ferocious beasts faintly visible.
The reporter asked, "Commander Xiao, do you think it could be man-made?"
Xiao Feng smiled and shook his head: "To be honest, I could cause one side of the Ice Chasm to collapse!"
His eyes held confidence, and he continued, "But it's impossible to affect such a large area! A King-level Beastmaster might be able to do it, but I doubt King-level powerhouses are that bored.
"Furthermore, the suspicion of technological weapons is even more absurd!
"Dimensions can only use basic equipment. Technological weapons are absolutely unusable!"
Based on his experience, Xiao Feng concluded, "It's highly likely a natural phenomenon. After all, it's a dimension, completely different from Blue Star's ecosystem."
Chen Shu smiled slightly. It wasn't that the other party couldn't identify it. Who could have guessed such a terrifying explosive agent?
The reporter continued to ask, "Commander Xiao, there seems to be a rumor that it was the work of the Nanjiang Bandit. What do you think?"
Chen Shu instantly stood up, his eyes widening.
"Damn, who reported me?!"
Xiao Feng's expression was decisive as he directly denied it: "Impossible! Everyone, no need to guess. Unless a King-level Beastmaster personally took action!
"King-level Beastmasters are already the strongest in a province. The Governor of Nancang Province is a King-level powerhouse, but no one would think it was him.
"It's as absurd as the provincial governor in my previous life going around with a homemade bomb to blow up your village's public toilet.
"Isn't that ridiculous?"
Fortunately, there were no casualties in this accident, but the Ice Chasm might need to be closed for a period of time. We will only reopen it after confirming there are no further natural phenomena!"
Finally, Xiao Feng concluded the news report about the Ice Chasm.
Chen Shu smiled, "As expected of a Golden Beastmaster."
But this was only the first time the Nanjiang Bandit appeared on television. No one took it seriously.
When he appeared on television for the second and third time, the entire nation realized something was wrong.
His mother said worriedly, "Son, it's a good thing you weren't hurt. I didn't expect you to run into a natural disaster."
Chen Shu's mouth twitched, not knowing how to respond.
"Actually, it wasn't my good luck, it was the Ice Chasm's bad luck."
His father, Chen Ping, suddenly frowned and looked at him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Chen Pi, why do I feel like this has something to do with you?"
Chen Shu forced a smile and returned to his room.
"Dad, why are you speaking such truthful things?"
The next morning, Chen Shu, with his backpack, put away the two hearts and prepared to travel to Daxing City.
"Teacher Shen, please notify them: I'm going to Daxing City to sell the hearts of the Frost Giant Wolves!"
Shen Wushuang at the school took out his phone. He was initially a little angry upon seeing the word "notify,"
but his expression changed to a smile upon seeing "Frost Giant Wolf."
Who would refuse money?
"For the next half month, summarize your mistakes in the dimensions!"
Shen Wushuang arranged the teaching tasks, preparing to guide them one by one.
Chen Shu's performance was perfect, except for that crazy explosion.
"Little Chen, you're not at school today?"
A black car stopped beside Chen Shu.
A man wearing sunglasses rolled down the window and looked at Chen Shu.
"Uncle Zhang?"
Chen Shu hadn't expected to meet Zhang Dali's father. He said, "I have something to do, I'm going to Daxing City."
"What a coincidence?"
Zhang Feng raised an eyebrow: "I happen to be going to Daxing City on business. Get in!"
Chen Shu grinned and hopped into the car.
A moment later, Chen Shu said regretfully, "Uncle Zhang, I can't get a refund for my ticket now. So, could you reimburse me?"
Zhang Feng's mouth twitched: "I think you're itching for a beating!"
"So you're saying I should give you money to give you a ride?"
Chen Shu remained silent and stopped talking.
Zhang Feng was much stricter than Chen Shu's father. When he used to beat Zhang Dali, he wouldn't spare Chen Shu when he was in the mood.
"By the way, Little Chen, I saw people saying recently that the Nanjiang Bandit blew up the Ice Chasm.
Zhang Feng suddenly spoke: "Doesn't that have anything to do with you? You always call yourself the Nanjiang Bandit."
Chen Shu's eyes widened, he spread his hands, and said, "How could that be?"
Zhang Feng sighed with regret in his tone: "Tch, I was a little proud. I thought you had made something of yourself!"
Chen Shu didn't expect Uncle Zhang to be so fierce as to wish it was him who did the bombing.
He tentatively asked, "Uncle Zhang, if it really was me, would the consequences be very serious?"
Zhang Feng said indifferently, "What consequences could there be? Dimensions are lawless places, and they wouldn't create specific new laws to target you.
Chen Shu nodded. It seemed he could blow things up with peace of mind from now on.
The two got onto the highway from Nanjiang City and arrived in Daxing City in the afternoon.
"Uncle Zhang, I have something to do, so you go ahead. If you want a ride back, call me in two days."
As soon as they arrived in Daxing City, Zhang Feng left directly, clearly having matters to attend to.
Chen Shu nodded and hailed a taxi.
"Master, Daxing City First Middle School!"
