A bit surprised!
Chen Shu curled his lips, looking at them as if they had never seen the world.
Sister Fang Si, what is this material? I'm going to make one myself when I get home.
As he spoke, he walked over to Fang Si, wanting a closer look at the Dragon Guard's arm badge.
G-O-O-N!
Fang Si's mouth twitched, and she quickly put away the badge.
She had thought Chen Shu hadn't changed after not seeing him for half a year, but she never expected him to become even more outrageous.
As they were talking, the staff from the Dou Ling Field arrived.
"Classmate Chen Shu, these are your awarded prizes!"
The person handed him a jar containing a bright red heart that was still beating.
It was clearly material from a Black Iron-level lord!
Chen Shu asked, "What about the other five million in protection fees?"
"The Huaxia currency will be directly deposited into your account later!"
The staff member left immediately, not wanting to stay a second longer.
Anyone who dares to extort protection fees from the Wu family can't be ordinary!
[Giantization +1, Massive amount of Beast Taming Power obtained]
Chen Shu's expression brightened. The Dou Ling Field awarding prizes clearly meant he was the undisputed first place winner for January.
[Giantization Lv4: Temporarily increases body size by eight times, significantly reduces speed!]
A simple description, but it possessed astonishing effects. Slimes relied on this to survive.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Shen Wushuang said, leading the special training class students away from the Dou Ling Field.
They returned to the hotel and finished packing their belongings.
In the afternoon, the group boarded the bus with joyful expressions.
"The New Year is finally here!"
Chen Shu felt a sense of relief, his future seemed bright.
His combat power was so strong, and the Beast Taming Power needed for his breakthrough was already more than half complete.
He would steadily become a Black Iron-level Beast Tamer next semester.
This was what was called having a promising future!
"Huh? Not enough seats?"
Due to the addition of Fang Si and Zhang Dali, there were not enough seats on the bus.
"Sister Fang Si, you take this seat, I'll stand."
Wang Qinghan stood up. She had known Fang Si since they were children and their relationship was extremely close.
"No need for such trouble!"
Chen Shu said calmly, "Listen to the class monitor's arrangements!"
"That Young Master Tang, you sit on Wang Yun! Du Long, you sit on Hong Ming!"
Tang Lie and Du Long's mouths twitched. This was your arrangement?
Despite their displeasure, they could only obediently sit on others.
Chen Shu shrugged and said, "Now there are seats, aren't there?"
Shen Wushuang sighed from the front. He thought he had chosen a class monitor, but instead, he got a bully.
The group began their journey back to Nanjiang City.
Chen Shu continuously planned his winter break, hoping to trigger more options.
As for retaliation from the Wu family, Chen Shu didn't care at all.
With Fang Si's status, as long as they weren't brain-dead, they wouldn't dare to seek revenge.
This was a time of peace and prosperity. Dignity was worthless, and everyone valued their lives.
"Dali, how's college life?"
Xie Sunan and Zhang Dali started chatting beside him.
They knew each other before, and Chen Shu had met Xie Sunan through Zhang Dali.
"It's good, just a bit competitive."
"So, are there often group activities?"
"Sometimes, it depends on whether it's a holiday."
The people on the bus looked over, their expressions strange.
Although their conversation was very ordinary, why did it always feel a bit off?
At night, the bus returned to Nanjiang No. 2 Middle School.
The school now appeared extremely quiet, as students had already gone home for the New Year.
"No need for more talk, prizes have been distributed, let's go quickly!"
Shen Wushuang was not dilly-dallying. He also had to rush home and didn't have time to waste with them.
The key was that Chen Shu and Fang Si were together now.
If they were short of funds for New Year activities, they might just rob him!
For the January competition,
Chen Shu was undoubtedly the first place, and the rankings of the others did not change much.
Only Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing were a bit special.
Although they didn't have rankings, Shen Wushuang gave them rewards equivalent to the top ten.
"Reading is good! I love reading!"
Chen Shu exclaimed. He had earned so much in one semester, which was much better than the treatment of professional beast tamers.
The others all looked resentful, staring at Chen Shu in unison.
This guy not only occupied most of the teaching resources but also often suppressed them.
Being in the same class as him was a nightmare.
"Chen Pi, I'm leaving first!"
Xie Sunan and Xu Xingxing left first. They did not live in the same neighborhood as Chen Shu.
"Going home!"
Chen Shu and the other two walked side-by-side, as if returning to three years ago when they dominated Nanjiang No. 2 Middle School.
Three years had passed, and they had all grown and changed, but the only thing that remained unchanged was their rogue-like demeanor.
Outside the school gate, Zhang Dali's father, Zhang Feng, was already waiting.
Chen Shu said, "Uncle Zhang, you haven't reimbursed me for the car fare last time!"
Zhang Feng's mouth twitched and he said, "Little Fang Si, Dali, kick this shameless brat out for me!"
"I'd rather die than yield!"
Chen Shu hugged the seat tightly, remaining unmoved no matter how they tried to budge him.
"I won't get down even if you kill me!"
"Then we'll just have to kill you then."
Zhang Dali and Fang Si grabbed Chen Shu in the middle and gave him a brutal beating.
Screams echoed from inside the car. If someone didn't know, they would think they were slaughtering a pig in the car.
The group laughed and returned to the residential area.
The three families had gathered at Zhang Dali's home early, marking their first gathering of the year.
"I've brought my four sons back!"
Zhang Feng opened the door and announced directly!
Fang Si's father, Fang Guowei, said, "Old Zhang, what nonsense are you talking about? You've adopted a son?"
Zhang Feng explained seriously, "You don't understand! Fang Si is like two sons to me!"
The others nodded, feeling that it made sense.
"Get lost!" Fang Si's father said with a smile.
Everyone was beaming with joy, filled with festive cheer.
"Sit down, everyone!"
They all sat around the dining table, smelling the aroma of the food and listening to the sound of firecrackers outside, feeling incredibly warm.
Basically, the three families gathered together every year. Although they were not related by blood, they were closer than family.
Fang Guowei said, "Old Zhang, I told you before that all three children would be successful, didn't I?"
"Yes! Yes!"
Zhang Feng laughed heartily. His son was admitted to the country's best culinary school, which was indeed something to be proud of.
He then continued, "I must say, Young Chen is truly amazing, he's even on TV!!"
"By the way, son Chen, why did you bring a telegraph machine back then?"
Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Telegraph machine, my foot! How was he supposed to know that everything he said was a banned word?
