That evening,
Li Wenxu limped home, determined not to open shop in the black market again.
He was dejected, wishing he had stayed in Nancang City.
He had intended to return and contribute to his hometown, only to suffer such a brutal beating.
Were people's customs so fierce nowadays?
He had to call his teacher!
Li Wenxu paid little attention to his injuries. Chen Shu's concocting skills had truly astonished him.
"Hello, Teacher Zhou!"
"Wenxu? How is your business?"
"Teacher..."
Li Wenxu paused for a moment before asking, "Do you believe someone can concoct medicine with their eyes closed?"
Zhou Yujiang, in his fifties, adjusted his glasses and replied, "Isn't that as absurd as a sow climbing a tree? No, it's even more absurd!"
Li Wenxu said, "I'll send you a video. Take a look."
As he spoke, he forwarded Chen Shu's concocting video.
Li Wenxu continued to explain, "Teacher, the blindfold is real. I can guarantee it with my own experience."
Zhou Yujiang nodded and hung up.
He initially thought his student was delusional and didn't pay much attention.
But the moment he opened the video, he was completely flustered!
Could such preposterous things happen in the world?
Staring at the video, Zhou Yujiang fell into deep thought.
There could be no sloppiness in the concocting process. How could it be done with eyes closed?
Moreover, how was this kid so fast? Was he performing magic, or rather, sorcery!
Teacher Zhou Yujiang of Nancang University of Pharmacy stayed up all night, already questioning his own life.
In the days leading up to the New Year, Chen Shu found nothing else to occupy himself with and had to be a law-abiding citizen.
The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival grew, with shops on the streets adorned with lanterns and celebrating various promotional activities.
Chen Shu did not miss this opportunity either.
He seized the moment to increase the price of the High-Grade Strength Potion by two thousand five hundred.
While ordinary shops were lowering prices, he did the opposite, completely capturing the public's attention!
This was what one called a business genius!
With Li Wenxu's unwitting endorsement, the Strength Potion shop was now thriving, with no shortage of customers.
"Hello? Sister Fang Si?"
Chen Shu answered the phone call from Fang Si.
Fang Si had been out of sight for several days, seemingly focused on the matter of the Black Iron-ranked assassin.
"Come out for a bit! I have something to discuss!"
Half an hour later,
At the "Long Time No See" coffee shop on the corner.
"Sister Fang Si, have you found out that person's identity?"
Chen Shu asked directly, also extremely curious. Could someone who dared to assassinate a Imperial Dragon Guard be an ordinary person?
As guardians of China, assassinating an Imperial Dragon Guard was, to some extent, equivalent to treason!
Fang Si frowned, took a sip of coffee, and said, "I've found out!"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow and asked, "You found out, but you have that expression?"
Fang Si didn't say much, took out several A4 papers, and handed them directly to Chen Shu.
Liu Ping, 28 years old, Commander of the Iron Fist Beast Taming Brigade, contracted spirit: Purple Firebird.
The papers recorded Liu Ping's life, including information about his schooling, family, and relatives from childhood to adulthood.
It was evident that these were findings obtained by Fang Si using the Imperial Dragon Guard's investigation agency.
Everything on the papers appeared perfectly normal, but this very normality was the biggest abnormality!
The individual was merely a law-abiding citizen!
But would a regular Black Iron-ranked Beast Tamer directly attempt to assassinate an Imperial Dragon Guard? Even at the cost of his own life?
Furthermore, there was no information about the source of the assailant's weapons and explosives.
Clearly, the organization behind him had the ability to obstruct the Imperial Dragon Guard's investigation!
Chen Shu pondered for a moment and then asked,
"Sister Fang Si, did you dig up someone's ancestral grave? Otherwise, would they deploy a Black Iron-ranked Beast Tamer to deal with you?"
"You're the one who dug up graves, you idiot!"
Fang Si's mouth twitched, and she said, "Although I've beaten up many people, there's no reason for them to kill me at all costs!"
Although competition in Huaxia Academy was fierce, due to each individual being a genius with their own pride, even after a severe beating, they would only be driven to train harder and strive to surpass their opponent,
rather than resorting to malicious means for revenge.
"I have no leads, it's a bit tricky! There might be a next time!"
Fang Si's expression was solemn. If Chen Shu hadn't intervened last time, she would likely have perished.
The power of the special armor-piercing bullet was not something flesh and blood could withstand.
Fang Si sighed and said, "It's best not to get too close to me!"
"What are you talking about? No one who dares to touch my people in Nanjiang City has been born yet!"
Chen Shu waved his hand dismissively.
With his system providing early warnings, he was generally safe, unless someone directly deployed a Silver or even Gold-ranked Beast Tamer to kill him in the city.
However, for Fang Si's sake, it was unlikely they would sacrifice such a powerful Beast Tamer.
"By the way, take this!"
Chen Shu flipped his right hand, and as if performing a magic trick, two potions suddenly appeared in his hand.
One was red, and the other was gray!
These were Chen Shu's last two potions: a Berserk Potion and an Explosive Potion.
He would not allow anyone to harm Fang Si and Zhang Dali.
"One can enhance the contracted spirit's strength, roughly a tenfold increase, and the other is a nuclear bomb,"
Chen Shu said in a low voice, explaining the effects of the two potions to Fang Si.
Fang Si was greatly alarmed, constantly examining the two potions, even moving her coffee further away.
She didn't want to be drinking coffee when Nanjiang City disappeared.
"You can keep the gray potion. It doesn't have much effect on high-level Beast Tamers!"
Fang Si shook her head. According to Chen Shu's explanation, it couldn't even kill a Black Iron-ranked lord, and its only effect was to destroy a city.
"I can't exactly say to a criminal: 'If you dare kill me, I'll blow up the city.'
Wouldn't that be a double celebration?"
"Take this potion!"
Chen Shu handed the Berserk Potion to Fang Si. If her contracted spirit consumed it, it could instantly reach Silver-ranked strength, definitely turning the tide.
"Okay!"
Fang Si carefully put the potion away. Given their relationship, there was no need for extra words of thanks.
Chen Shu said with a serious expression, "Sister Fang Si, if you die, I'll definitely come for the funeral feast!"
Fang Si's mouth twitched. "You really don't wish me well at all."
"And then tear your enemies to pieces! No matter who it is!"
Chen Shu added immediately, his eyes clear and his expression extremely earnest, as if making a promise.
"Alright!"
Fang Si smiled, feeling a bit touched, and said, "I'll take you to meet someone!"
The two left the coffee shop and went out onto the bustling street.
"Sister Fang Si, where's your car from Jingdu? Why didn't you drive back with that awesome license plate?"
They bought some fruit from a shop on the street.
Fang Si replied, "Just for a bit of show, I drove all this way back? Do you think I'm like you!"
Given Chen Shu's flamboyant personality, he would definitely drive back from afar.
As the saying goes: If you don't show off, your heart will panic!
"Can you get me a Huaxia Academy license plate too? I want to hang around the Spirit Suppression Bureau!"
Chen Shu chuckled, imagining that wonderful scenario.
