Chen Shu summoned the golden slime in the shop.
The slime's height was almost equal to Chen Shu's, and its body was incredibly huge, no longer a toy that could be held in his arms.
"Xiao Jin, eat it!"
Chen Shu opened the container, and the heart within was instantly swallowed by the golden slime.
"You fed the heart to a slime? Isn't that a terrible waste of precious resources?!"
The shop owner's eyes widened, finding it utterly unbelievable.
"A heart worth three million was fed to an F-class slime. Are rich people these days so extravagant?"
Although the golden slime couldn't understand the words, it could sense the old man's dismissive gaze.
It pouted, glared, and even seemed ready to charge.
"Alright, alright."
Chen Shu squeezed the slime, soothing it.
Soon, the heart inside was digested by the slime.
"Burp~~~"
The slime let out a satisfied burp, and a gust of wind diffused, causing the surrounding counters to rustle noisily.
"You?"
The boss's eyes widened, not expecting the other party to have actually comprehended the Gale Breath.
Suddenly, he felt a chill on his head and exclaimed, "Damn it, my hair!"
"I say, old man, no wonder your hair is so thick."
Chen Shu looked at the balding owner and burst into laughter. He was professionally trained and wouldn't usually laugh, unless he couldn't help it.
"You brat! Get out, get out!"
The old man hurriedly turned around to look for his wig.
"Oh, right, old man, don't bother researching that bone shard anymore. It's just a wild boar bone, worthless."
Chen Shu, leaving no trace of his fame, withdrew.
"Wild boar bone?"
The shop owner froze. Forgetting his wig, he nervously took out an instrument and compared various data with the bone shard.
Finally, he discovered something terrifying.
It was indeed a wild boar bone!
He had spent half a million on a wild boar bone?!
The mad wind bird's heart was purchased for two and a half million.
So, he hadn't made a single cent. No, his wig was ruined too.
The shop owner rested his chin on his hands, his scalp cold, and his heart even colder.
All he wanted now was to emo the entire world.
Chen Shu happily left the shop. Although he had spent three million, he had enabled the slime to comprehend two skills.
Gale Breath: Can unleash the power of strong winds. Its lethality is related to the contract spirit's own wind attribute power.
Recoil Force: When subjected to a close-range attack, a recoil force will be generated within the slime, transferring to the enemy. Its lethality is related to its own defense.
Gale Breath was an active skill, while Recoil Force was passive.
Recoil Force was definitely a skill with extremely high compatibility. System-produced items were guaranteed to be exquisite!
Gale Breath, however, seemed a bit mediocre. The slime was an element-less contract spirit, and its wind attribute power was extremely weak.
The lethality of Gale Breath would likely not be very strong, but every skill had its use.
There were no absolutely useless skills, only beastmasters who were not good at pairing them.
A day passed quickly.
Chen Shu was utterly broke and was just wandering around, soaking in the atmosphere of the metropolis.
In the evening, his phone suddenly rang.
Chen Shu asked, "Hello, Da Li, is the exam over? How did it go?"
"Chen Pi, help me! I'm cornered!"
With that, the sound of commotion came from the other end, and the call was immediately hung up.
"?!"
Chen Shu's spirit jolted. He put away the slime and hailed a taxi.
"Driver! Kyoto Culinary University!! Please hurry, I'm in a rush to be reborn!"
"???" The taxi driver was bewildered. "Kid, you're too direct."
The taxi driver floored the accelerator and set off quickly.
Since he was in a rush to be reborn, it was naturally best to be quick.
Fortunately, Culinary University was also located in the Huaxia region.
In less than an hour, Chen Shu arrived at the university entrance.
He immediately saw Zhang Dali surrounded by a group of people.
With his sturdy physique, Chen Shu forcefully pushed through the crowd and reached Zhang Dali's side.
"Da Li, what's up?"
Before Zhang Dali could speak, a胖子 on the opposite side said, "This is what you call an arrow that pierces the clouds, drawing a thousand troops to meet?
"Cut the nonsense, who are you guys?" Chen Shu looked at the people opposite him.
The胖子 clearly looked like someone who lived a life of privilege. Chen Shu could take on ten such young masters!
The key was that beside him were four burly men, obviously trained.
Although they couldn't defeat an Iron-tier Beastmaster, intimidating ordinary people was incredibly easy.
The胖子 said with a smile, "Your brother is too arrogant. He provoked me in the exam, claiming he would beat me soundly."
At this moment, Zhu Dabai felt a surge of anger. As a member of the Zhu family in Kyoto, when had he ever been provoked by an ordinary person from another region?
Most importantly, he hadn't gotten into Culinary University, while the other party had. This sense of disparity naturally caused his anger to swell.
Today, he was determined to teach the country bumpkin in front of him a lesson.
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow, "And the result?"
"The result is that I beat him soundly," Zhang Dali said from the side. "I ranked fifth, he ranked fiftieth."
Zhang Dali looked displeased, not backing down at all. "Who told you to mock me first? As a chef, is it too much for me to bring a dedicated iron pot?"
Chen Shu nodded and said, "Then that's right. If you say you'll beat me, you beat me. Isn't keeping your word a good quality?"
The胖子's face flushed with anger, "Stop talking nonsense! You have two choices: either fight my bodyguards, or fight my contract spirit."
Chen Shu suddenly lowered his head and said, "In this situation, why don't you call Sister Fang Si?"
The other party clearly looked troublesome, likely a local from Kyoto. Letting Fang Si handle this situation would be best.
Zhang Dali spread his hands and said, "I called, but she didn't answer. She might be busy."
"Have you considered it?" Zhu Dabai said.
Just then, options reappeared before Chen Shu's eyes.
[Option One: Accept Zhu Dabai's challenge and win. Completion Reward: Golden Slime's All-Elemental Resistance +10%]
[Option Two: Flee immediately and refuse to fight. Completion Reward: Moderate Beast Taming Power]
[Option Three: Capture the ringleader first. Seize the opportunity while his bodyguards are unprepared and give Zhu Dabai a big scare. Completion Reward: Golden Slime's Speed +5%]
