It's Perfectly Normal for my Slime to beat up a Dragon, Right?

Ch. 142 - I'm Just a Person Who's Useless to Society

So the three of them became sellers, and Xu Xingxing became the buyer?Shen Wushuang and the other two had no objections. Whether Xu Xingxing's family made or lost money was none of their concern.

As long as Frost Canyon stayed sealed long enough, the materials' value would definitely exceed Shen Wushuang's estimate.

But they didn't want to wait too long—cash in hand was safest.

Shen Wushuang left the room, his mouth never losing its smile.

Chen Shu and Xie Sunan looked equally excited—neither had ever seen this much money before.

...

First thing the next morning, Xu Xingxing's family indeed wired the money.

A total of nineteen million, split evenly four ways.

If they were talking about contributions, Shen Wushuang's was obviously the greatest, but without Chen Shu's Berserk Potion, it wouldn't have worked.

And without Xu Xingxing's Mutant Thunderbird, the three couldn't have deployed the Explosion Potion. Xie Sunan's Winged Caterpillar was equally critical, helping them avoid danger.

In short, missing any one person would've made success impossible, so they naturally chose the fairest distribution method.

The atmosphere in Ice Valley Town grew increasingly tense. Adventuring Beast Tamers all received the news and left early. The small town became much quieter.

Everyone boarded the bus, ready to head home.

"For this October tournament, first place goes to Chen Shu's team, second place goes to Xu Xiaoyu's..."

Just as Shen Wushuang was announcing the results—

ROAR!

A terrifying roar suddenly echoed through the air.

The students inside the bus all looked outside, immediately struck dumb with shock.

In the sky appeared an incredibly fearsome dragon!

It had no wings, instead resembling the dragons from ancient Chinese texts. Its body stretched dozens of meters long, wreathed in roiling flames.

The fire dragon flew through the air. Though it had restrained its aura, it was still impossible to look at directly.

On top of the dragon's head stood a person wearing black clothes with the words "Spirit Suppression" on their shoulders.

"An Infernal Heavenly Dragon! A Gold-rank powerhouse has actually shown up!"

Shen Wushuang murmured, his eyes full of envy.

Black Iron-rank Beast Tamers could already be called strong. The heights Gold-rank Beast Tamers reached were hard to imagine—at minimum, they were among the strongest in any given city.

"It's actually a dragon!"

Chen Shu's eyes locked onto it. This was his first time seeing a legendary divine beast.

Fang Si's two contract spirits were both dragons, but they had wings and lizard-like bodies—clearly their bloodlines weren't pure enough.

The fire dragon in the sky was at least SS-rank, definitely higher potential than Fang Si's.

After all, this was a Gold-rank Beast Tamer, meaning their first contract spirit's bloodline had evolved three full times!

The dragon flew into the distance, and only then did everyone snap back to attention. The scene left an extremely deep impression.

"You don't need to be too envious. As long as your Beast Tamer rank is high enough, your contract spirit's bloodline will continue evolving until it becomes a legendary divine beast!"

Shen Wushuang lectured them: "For example, Du Long's Earth Sub-Dragon could possibly become an Earth Ancient Dragon that controls earth elements."

Instantly, Du Long clenched both fists, his eyes full of confidence, as if that "other people's child" had returned.

Chen Shu asked: "Teacher, what kind of dragon will my Slime eventually become?"

"..."

Shen Wushuang's mouth twitched, and he instantly fell silent.

Do you seriously think that's even the same species?

Du Long couldn't help but speak up: "Bloodlines can't be changed. Can a bug become a dragon?"

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Think you're something again? Can your Earth Sub-Bug tank a single hit from me now?"

"..."

Du Long shut his mouth, swearing to himself he'd work hard on evolution and beat the crap out of that Slime.

Chen Shu sat back down, not caring one bit about bloodlines.

There's nothing in this world a Slime can't solve by sitting on it.

If there is, then sit on it TWICE!

Using the weakest contract spirit to crush divine beasts—THAT'S what you call style!

Shen Wushuang finished announcing the results, but Chen Shu's team remained completely calm.

A measly two million in prize money? Too little!

"Old Xie, do you even care about two million?"

Chen Shu sneered, his expression utterly contemptuous.

Xie Sunan shrugged. "Don't care at all!"

Xu Xingxing looked equally indifferent. "Two million doesn't even cover pocket change!"

Chen Shu nodded and said: "Since neither of you want it, I'll take it all!"

"The hell?!"

Xie Sunan's mouth twitched. We promised to act cool together, but you immediately betrayed us?

He quickly changed his tune: "I think two million is still worth splitting. Money—the more the better!"

Xu Xingxing said seriously: "I can refuse to take it, but you can't refuse to give it!"

...

The group returned to school and were immediately dragged back to the Beast Taming Arena.

Someone complained: "Teacher, shouldn't we get a break? We didn't even have a National Day holiday!"

Chen Shu declared emphatically: "A break? Why would we need a break? Only people who are useless to society take breaks!"

Everyone turned to stare, their expressions indescribable. Are those really your lines?

Shen Wushuang raised an eyebrow too, surprised Chen Shu had such high awareness.

The next moment, Chen Shu spoke up: "Teacher, cards on the table—I'm just a person who's useless to society, and I want a break!"

"..."

The entire group fell silent.

After a long moment, Shen Wushuang said: "Let's distribute the tournament prizes first, then everyone can rest for two days."

The students cheered, smiles spreading across their faces.

Prizes were distributed. Chen Shu's team received nine High-Grade Beast Orbs and materials from two mutant beasts, worth approximately two million.

Even last place still got prizes worth hundreds of thousands.

Everyone wore happy expressions, ready to pack up and head home for two days of rest.

Chen Shu felt equally cheerful as he returned home.

Xu Xingxing had bought up all the tournament prizes too, and the three split the money evenly again.

Chen Shu's bank account now had an additional five million four hundred thousand. If he sold both Frost Giant Wolf hearts, he'd get nearly three million more.

Chen Shu couldn't help but sigh: "Wait, making money is this easy?"

Blow up one Alternate Dimension and make this much cash? Huaxia had hundreds of Alternate Dimensions.

Looked like he needed to plan out an explosion schedule.

"Mom, Dad, I'm home!"

Chen Shu bought some food on the way and arrived just in time for dinner.

Seeing Chen Shu safe and sound, his parents secretly breathed sighs of relief.

The family ate a harmonious meal together, the atmosphere warm and relaxed.

Back in his room, Chen Shu opened his computer, ready to research various beast talent skills.

Now that he had over five million, he wanted to purchase a Lord beast's corpse.

The Slime already had plenty of skills, but who'd complain about having more?

"No matter how I fly, I can't escape this flowery world..."

Chen Shu's phone suddenly rang, showing an unknown number.

A boy's voice came through: "Hello? I'm the one who posted the quest. You still have those two hearts, right?"

"Of course!"

"Five and a half million each—I'll take them!"

The voice on the other end was straightforward, making Chen Shu's heart leap with joy.

What a loaded big spender!

"I'm in Daxing City. Come over tomorrow and we'll trade in person."

Chen Shu felt something was off and asked: "What's 'trade in person'?"

The voice on the phone sounded a bit helpless: "What are you thinking? It means a face-to-face transaction!"

Chen Shu said: "Tomorrow won't work—I'm on break. I'll come over after school starts!"

"..."
