The students on the bus were all excited, constantly looking left and right, like elementary schoolers on a field trip.
Shen Wushuang, sitting at the front, suddenly sensed something and whipped his head around.
He saw Chen Shu taking out pots, pans, various dishes, and a bag of hot pot seasoning.
Chen Shu said, "Qinghan, help me start a fire, and we can have hot pot for lunch."
Wang Qinghan was stunned, feeling a bit bewildered. "Can we?" he asked.
Chen Shu nodded nonchalantly. "It's fine, I've cooked instant noodles on a bus before."
The Fire Elemental Sprite instantly appeared, and the others felt the sudden heat, quickly backing away.
Shen Wushuang's heart skipped a beat, and cold sweat broke out. He immediately shouted, "Quick, put away your contracted spirit!"
Hearing this, Wang Qinghan put the Fire Elemental Sprite away.
Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched. He looked at Chen Shu and said, "Are you seriously ill!"
Chen Shu had once again crossed the line of absurdity!
Shen Wushuang berated him, "Cooking hot pot on the bus, and using a contracted spirit to do it? Aren't you afraid the bus will explode?"
Chen Shu blinked in surprise. "Uh, Qinghan, you only need to summon a small part of the Fire Elemental Sprite's body."
Wang Qinghan looked confused, spreading his hands to indicate he didn't know how.
Shen Wushuang scoffed, "That's partial summoning. What does a high schooler know about that?!"
"It's not difficult,"
Chen Shu said, and two big, dazed eyes suddenly appeared in front of Shen Wushuang.
"Holy crap! What is that!"
Shen Wushuang performed a tactical retreat, only to realize they were the eyes of a slime.
"You can do partial summoning?!"
Shen Wushuang's eyes widened in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Stop making a fuss!" Chen Shu recalled the slime.
Fang Si had previously taught him the trick to partial summoning, and Chen Shu had quickly learned it, though he was only a beginner and not as skilled as Fang Si.
After a while, Shen Wushuang finally recovered, constantly staring at Chen Shu with astonished eyes.
"Just because you can doesn't mean others can. Put away all these useless things of yours! What exactly did you bring?!"
Chen Shu looked helpless and could only put everything away. It seemed hot pot was out of the question.
"Don't easily summon contracted spirits on the bus, especially fire-attribute ones. Look how hot it's gotten everyone."
Shen Wushuang sighed.
"Also, Xu Xingxing, can you please take off your down jacket!"
He rubbed his temples, feeling an unbearable headache.
This batch of students was definitely the most outrageous he had ever led!
At this moment, a large group of parents were staring intently at the school gate.
He had just assured the parents of the students' safety.
If the bus exploded right after leaving the school gate, and all the students were sent spiraling into the sky...
The scene was too terrifying to even imagine.
Shen Wushuang no longer sat at the front. Instead, he sat next to Chen Shu, staring at him intently the entire way, not even daring to sleep.
In the afternoon,
The special training class arrived at Binggu Town in Qingyang City without any major incidents.
Binggu Town was similar to Qingyuan Town, both being towns built outside of alternate dimensions, responsible for trading various resources and providing supplies to beast tamers.
They would rest in the town for the night and head to the Cold Ice Canyon early tomorrow morning!
Shen Wushuang specifically reminded them, "Prepare your cold-weather clothing, sleeping bags, tents, as well as food and water!"
With that, Shen Wushuang led the special training class to the hotel, sorting out their accommodation.
"You can wander around town this afternoon, see what it's like, but don't cause trouble easily."
Shen Wushuang looked at Chen Shu again and said, "Especially you three, don't blow up Binggu Town!"
Chen Shu looked speechless. "Am I that ferocious?"
The three of them left the hotel and enjoyed some of the local ferocious beast cuisine in Binggu Town.
October had already entered autumn, but the temperature in Binggu Town was even lower. Many people coming and going were wearing long sleeves and jackets.
Clearly, Binggu Town was also affected by the Cold Ice Canyon.
"Let's go take on some missions!"
Chen Shu decided to try his luck, hoping to find a mission involving a lord-level ferocious beast.
The three of them went to the mission hall of the Beast Tamer Association in town.
"Are there any missions for lord-level ferocious beasts?"
Chen Shu slammed the table, getting straight to the point.
At that moment, the others in the hall looked over, expecting some big shot to appear.
However, upon seeing their appearances, they all twitched their mouths.
"Three more hot-heads."
The service staff member said with suspicion, "There is a hunting mission for a Lord Frost Giant Wolf."
The three of them took it and looked.
[Mission Name]: Hunt the Lord Frost Giant Wolf (Black Iron Grade).
[Mission Difficulty]: Extremely Dangerous
[Mission Content]: A complete Lord Frost Giant Wolf heart must be submitted! This mission is privately posted and requires a five-yuan deposit!
[Mission Reward]: Four million Huaxia coins!
[Mission Difficulties]: One: Lord Frost Giant Wolves prefer to hunt in packs and are adept at fighting in icy environments. Two: The Lord Frost Giant Wolf is ferocious and prone to relentless pursuit! Three: This mission has been completed once, with a Lord Frost Giant Wolf falling. This may alert and caution other lords!
[Mission Tip]: If you do not possess absolute strength, do not accept this mission!
"It's not officially released?"
Chen Shu frowned slightly. That meant a deposit was required.
Xie Sunan also shook his head and said, "It's too expensive, forget it."
A fifty-thousand-yuan deposit was no small amount, especially for hunting a Black Iron Grade lord, which was impossible for the three of them with their current strength.
Unless they could trick Shen Wushuang.
"I'll take the mission!"
Just as Chen Shu and the other were talking, Xu Xingxing waved his hand and decisively said.
The service staff member reminded them, "This mission requires a fifty-thousand-yuan deposit."
They particularly emphasized the fifty-thousand-yuan, as the three of them clearly looked like students.
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingxing frowned slightly and said, "If outsiders see this, they'll think I can't afford it! The three of us will each take one!"
Xu Xingxing smoothly took out a bank card.
"Is this the pressure of being a second-generation rich kid?"
Chen Shu and Xie Sunan swallowed, feeling that Xu Xingxing looked incredibly cool as he pulled out the card.
"I apologize, sir, but you can only accept one." The service staff member was surprised, never expecting the person in front of them to be so wealthy.
Xie Sunan whispered, "Xiao Xing, we just came to see if there were any simple missions, and to show off a bit. We can't do this mission."
Xu Xingxing waved his hand, completely unconcerned. "It's fine. It's my first time taking a mission, so of course, I want to do something high-end. Fifty thousand yuan is just for fun."
The two exchanged glances, both thinking the same thing: "Is this the joy of being rich?"
