Niuniu, if that aunt comes again, tell her to find big brother upstairs, understand?
Chen Shu patted Niuniu's head and sent her back home.
Returning home, he casually tossed Hao Meili's bag aside, paying it no mind.
If the police came looking, he'd naturally return it to her, but whether it was reporting or checking surveillance, it was all a hassle.
When it came to annoying people, Chen Shu was quite skilled.
He went back to his bedroom and summoned the golden slime.
Having completed the previous option, he had successfully broken through to become a Level Six Beast Tamer. The slime's stats had also greatly increased, and even its snoring was louder than before!
What surprised him most was that the slime's Charge skill had automatically leveled up.
With every breakthrough, there was a chance for the contracted spirit to learn a new skill or upgrade an existing one.
Although the chance of upgrading a skill was slightly higher than learning a new one, both were abysmally low.
Especially for an F-class contracted spirit.
"You must do well and shatter all the trash for me in the future!"
Chen Shu patted the slime's head and began to refine the medicinal ingredients.
It wasn't until the afternoon of the next day that the slime finally finished digesting the potion, its defense and size surging significantly.
If it used its Giant Transformation, the slime would reach a terrifying size of nearly ten meters. Most Black Iron grade contracted spirits wouldn't reach such a size.
Although its strength was far inferior to that of a Black Iron grade spirit, at least it had a strong oppressive presence!
"My contracted spirit is huge, my opponents might not be able to handle it."
In the afternoon, Chen Shu and Zhang Dali lay on the sofa playing games all afternoon, successfully climbing from Gold to Silver.
"I say, Dali, you're playing so badly?"
Chen Shu couldn't help but complain. After playing all afternoon, they had only won one game, and in that game, the opponents had two players AFK.
"How am I playing badly? I'm not just hiding in the jungle anymore when I play jungler," Zhang Dali retorted.
"Yeah, you're not staying in the jungle anymore, you've started to lane camp," Chen Shu said.
Chen Shu took a deep breath and said, "Lane camping is fine, but it's too much for a jungler to have the highest score like a mid laner!"
Zhang Dali was silent for a long time, then said, "Is this why you reported me?"
"I'm eliminating a menace for the public!" Chen Shu suddenly remembered something. "Right, I'm going to find Xie Sunan tomorrow, want to come along?"
"Me? I can't. I have to attend spirit chef training again."
"How confident are you?" Chen Shu inquired.
Although Zhang Dali's cooking skills were excellent, spirit chefs needed to handle fierce beast meat, which was much more difficult.
"I can barely get first place," Zhang Dali shook his head, appearing dissatisfied with himself.
"By the way, when are Auntie and Uncle coming back? I'm a bit hungry."
"You finish lane camping and then you want to freeload food!"
Just then, the door was opened.
Chen Shu's parents had returned home, but besides them, there was also a police officer and a girl.
"Oh, confirmed it's your bag? Quite efficient."
Chen Shu immediately recognized the person, it was Hao Meili from yesterday.
"Chen Pi, speak properly!" His father Chen Ping reprimanded.
"Hello, officer!"
Chen Shu got up and smiled, completely ignoring Hao Meili.
Hao Meili had lost her arrogant demeanor from yesterday, and even felt a psychological shadow when she saw Chen Shu.
The police officer spoke, "Hello, Chen. The investigation results are out. Ms. Hao misremembered the money inside, and the phone was accidentally broken."
"If possible, please return the bag to her!"
Chen Shu nodded, took the bag from beside the trash can in the room, and said, "I can return it to you, but you have to apologize to Niuniu again downstairs!"
"Do you know you're harming the flowers of the motherland? Auntie!" Chen Shu questioned in a stern tone.
Hao Meili remained silent and nodded.
Chen Shu couldn't be bothered to argue with her and returned the bag.
After the two left, the three immediately asked Chen Shu what had happened.
When he explained, Zhang Dali slammed the table, "She deserves a beating for that, you son of a bitch!"
Chen Shu looked over with an expression of shared heroic sentiment.
The next morning, Chen Shu arrived at Xiafei Road, ready to deal with the fake medicine dealer.
Just as he reached the intersection, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Chen Shu!"
A girl with a ponytail ran over.
"Xia Bing? Chen Shu looked at his former study committee member and recognized her immediately.
"What a coincidence? What are you doing here?"
"I live around here," Xia Bing explained. "Don't I still owe you money? I want to repay it today."
"No need to rush, I'm not short on money!"
Chen Shu said generously, "By the way, do you want to transfer or pay cash?"
Xia Bing looked speechless. "I thought you really weren't in a hurry?"
"Besides, it's not that I'm in a hurry to repay, but I calculate the interest every day."
"Bank transfer," Xia Bing said. "I borrowed 120,000 from you. Calculated at twice the bank's interest rate, that's..."
"No need for interest!" Chen Shu said magnanimously.
Xia Bing scrutinized Chen Shu. "Is this really coming from you? Have you been possessed?"
"You help me with something!" Chen Shu grinned, his eyes rolling, looking incredibly cunning.
Xia Bing immediately felt something was wrong. "Why do I feel like it's nothing good?"
Chen Shu said righteously, "How could it be? Help me catch a swindler! To maintain city order, as upright youths of the new era, we should not hesitate!"
Xia Bing hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. "Alright, consider it thanks for lending me the money."
Based on Chen Shu's judgment, Wangbagge was definitely not the mastermind. A guy selling mud wouldn't have that kind of influence.
There must be someone else involved, and it was likely related to Beast Tamers. How dare ordinary people engage in fraud of tens of millions?
Chen Shu might not be able to handle it alone, but with Xia Bing, it was different.
Her contracted spirit was an Ice Wolf, possessing both attack and control capabilities.
If they really couldn't win, they could let the Ice Wolf stall them, allowing him to make a strategic retreat.
A free hired hand, who could refuse?
