Ch. 144 - Pay-to-Win Whale: Ouyang Bao

Chen Shu looked out the car window at the passing scenery. Compared to Nanjiang City, Daxing City was far more prosperous.

An hour later, he arrived at Daxing First High School.

The school gates were tightly shut, with all the students inside attending classes.

Chen Shu dialed the buyer's number, but no one answered.

"Damn it! Don't tell me I got stood up?"

He put away his phone. His eyes suddenly lit up with options.

[Option 1: Take out an iron bowl and sit by the roadside to wait patiently. Completion reward: Title "Beggar Gang Leader." Equipped effect: When begging, you can inspire compassion in others.]

[Option 2: Find a way to sneak into the school and track down the buyer directly. Completion reward: Slime's jump power +10%]

[Option 3: Turn around and leave. Never wait for anyone. Completion reward: Level 1 Enlightenment Fruit]

The corner of Chen Shu's mouth twitched. Is that first option insulting my character?

His eyes shifted to lock onto the second option.

Just then, a delivery guy on an electric bike rode past. Chen Shu's eyes lit up.

Ten minutes later, Chen Shu stood at the school gate wearing a "Bao Le Me" uniform.

The security guard immediately barked, "Stop! What are you doing here?"

Chen Shu said with complete seriousness, "I'm delivering takeout!"

The guard's eyes widened. "This is a fucking high school! Who orders takeout during class? You think they're eating lunch while studying?"

"Oh, it's not for a student. It's for someone named Headmaster Xue."

Chen Shu remained perfectly calm. He'd already worked out his story.

The guard couldn't help but laugh. "Are you stupid? Who names their kid 'Headmaster'?!"

As he laughed, his expression suddenly froze. His brain caught up with what he'd just heard.

"The... the headmaster ordered takeout?!"

Chen Shu calmly nodded.

The guard's face filled with alarm. He looked Chen Shu up and down a few times. Not daring to confirm with the headmaster, he just let him through.

"Way too young!"

Chen Shu walked through with complete composure, his bag slung over his shoulder.

"Daxing First High's Beast Taming Arena."

Chen Shu headed toward the agreed meeting location.

Inside the school's Beast Taming Arena at that moment...

Twenty students had gathered together, all staring intently at the two contract spirits on the battle platform.

A four-meter-tall blue ice lion roared continuously, its imposing presence terrifying.

It was an A-rank Ice Snow Crazy Lion with fearsome combat power—one of the absolute top-tier spirits in the A-rank category.

Opposite the Ice Snow Crazy Lion was a small snake covered in emerald green scales, its eyes venomous and vicious.

A top-tier A-rank contract spirit versus a B-rank Toxic Green Snake!

A chubby guy spoke up. "Wang Qing, you really want to challenge me? I don't want to accidentally slap your little snake to death."

Wang Qing snorted coldly. "Cut the crap, Ouyang Bao! Fight or don't!"

Standing beside them, a middle-aged man watched everything with an indifferent expression.

In an instant, the battle between the two contract spirits began.

Roar!

The Ice Snow Crazy Lion roared and immediately used its skill "Frost Burst."

A blast of ice-blue frost energy suddenly surged outward. The temperature in the entire Beast Taming Arena dropped.

Covered by the frost, the Toxic Green Snake's speed slowed down.

Suppressed by both bloodline and skill, it had no ability to resist.

The Ice Snow Crazy Lion struck with one massive claw, pinning the Toxic Green Snake's body down. Its other giant paw swung toward the snake's head.

"What the hell!"

Chen Shu had just walked in and witnessed this scene.

This Ice Snow Crazy Lion's owner is sick. He's actually going for the Toxic Green Snake's head.

Unfortunately, no one heard him speak. They were all watching the battle platform with rapt attention.

Sure enough, Wang Qing's lips curved into a smile.

The originally helpless Toxic Green Snake's eyes suddenly snapped open. Its mouth opened wide, and green venom actually dripped from its two fangs.

Without any obstruction, the fangs pierced through the Ice Snow Crazy Lion's giant paw. Venom instantly injected into it.

"Isn't this just feeding?!"

The corner of Chen Shu's mouth twitched. The Toxic Green Snake's most lethal point was its venom.

But its attack speed wasn't fast—it was easy to dodge.

Who would've thought this Ice Snow Crazy Lion would deliberately go for the snake's head? Are you addicted to feeding or what?

"Holy shit! That's so dirty, Wang Qing!"

Ouyang Bao cried out in shock, watching helplessly as the Ice Snow Crazy Lion's giant paw became covered in a layer of green.

Wang Qing's mouth twitched. You're the one who delivered yourself to me—how is this my fault?

"Looks like you're going to lose."

The Toxic Green Snake twisted its body and quickly pulled back to create distance.

The Ice Snow Crazy Lion tried to chase, but its own speed was being reduced by the venom.

With one giant paw paralyzed, even its body became unbalanced.

Boom!

The lion crashed to the ground like a dead dog.

The teacher on the side shook his head. What a dumb rich kid.

Such a powerful Ice Snow Crazy Lion actually lost to a Toxic Green Snake.

"Are you an idiot? Use your freezing skill on yourself to slow the venom spread!"

Chen Shu walked up beside the chubby guy and reminded him.

Ouyang Bao had already been about to concede. Hearing this voice, he instinctively used the skill.

A layer of frost spread and covered the Crazy Lion's giant paw, actually slowing the venom's advance.

The body that had fallen stood up once again.

With its combat power temporarily restored, the Ice Snow Crazy Lion made quick work of the Toxic Green Snake in just a few moves, ending the battle.

"What the hell is a delivery guy doing here?"

Wang Qing's face turned livid as he looked at Chen Shu beside him.

If not for this person's reminder, he would've already won.

Chen Shu looked at him like he was looking at an idiot. "Delivering takeout."

Wang Qing immediately choked. Just as he was about to speak...

The teacher on the side said, "This is the school's Beast Taming Arena. Did you take a wrong turn?"

"I'm here to deliver something to Ouyang Bao! Who's Ouyang Bao?"

Chen Shu shouted loudly while pulling out a urea bag from his backpack.

Seeing that urea bag, the entire special training class collectively took a step back, their eyes filled with wariness.

Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. Is that reaction really necessary?

Has my reputation already spread to Daxing City?

"Uh, I'm Ouyang Bao. Are you Chen Shu from Nanjiang City?"

The chubby guy beside him asked tentatively.

"It's you? Just as I expected."

Chen Shu nodded, his face full of understanding.

I knew it. Why would someone have such terrible battle sense? Turns out he's the legendary whale.

With that, Chen Shu pulled out two hearts from the bag.

A wave of freezing cold energy instantly spread outward.

"More Lord-tier materials?! Insanely rich!"

The students in the class all looked at Ouyang Bao with envious eyes.

Ouyang Bao said, "I'll only take one heart for now. If I comprehend the skill, I won't need the second one."

Chen Shu nodded and grinned. "Don't worry, you'll definitely need the second one!"

"Bank deposit notification: 5.5 million!"

Chen Shu's phone announced the deposit. The other students all looked up and groaned in despair.

Being in the same class as Ouyang Bao meant enduring the merciless oppression of money every single day.

Also, since when was the delivery industry this high-end? Delivering items worth millions?
