Chen Shu chatted briefly with Fang Si before ending the conversation.

Although he had plenty of free time, Fang Si barely had any. As the top-level Beast Master university, the competition at Huaxia Academy was intense.

Chen Shu opened his contacts and reached out to Xu Xiaoyu.

"Sister Xiaoyu, I'm going for an interview tomorrow. Can you give me some insider information?"

After a long wait with no reply, an impatient Chen Shu asked again.

"Sister Xiaoyu, are you busy?"

"I'm eating melon."

Chen Shu's face showed interest. Was the internet buzzing with gossip again?

"Whose melon are you eating?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Xiaoyu quickly replied, "A Hami melon."

Chen Shu: "???"

So she was literally eating a melon?

A few minutes later, Xu Xiaoyu began to reply.

"Are you applying for the Potion Master position? If you're proficient in high school materials science, you might become a Potion Master Assistant."

Xu Xiaoyu's words were clear. For a high school student to become a Potion Master was a pipe dream.

"Also, don't call me sister. Just call me Xiaoyu. I just turned sixteen..."

Most people undergo the Awakening Ceremony in their third year of middle school, but Xu Xiaoyu only awakened in her first year of high school and was placed in the Elite Spirit Class.

"What if I can proficiently brew a potion?"

Chen Shu said, his proficiency in Potion Science had reached the Control Level for the Strength Elixir, not only achieving a 100% success rate but also reducing materials by 30%.

"A cold remedy?"

"......"

"Anyway, just give it a try. Maybe you'll catch the eye of a Potion Master."

Xu Xiaoyu lay on her bed with a strange expression on her face.

A high school student proficiently brewing a potion?

If it were that easy, Beast Master potions would have been popularized long ago.

Xu Xiaoyu, familiar with Chen Shu's unreliability, turned off her phone and focused on training her Beast Power.

"Looks like she doesn't believe me."

Chen Shu shook his head, turned off the lights, and started reading a novel.

At 1 a.m., Chen Shu prepared to sleep, and options appeared before him again.

[Option 1: Train all night, absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Reward upon completion: Title 'Super Diligent Talent', effect: Training efficiency increased by 20%]

[Option 2: Go straight to sleep. Reward upon completion: A small amount of Beast Power]

Without hesitation, Chen Shu went straight to sleep. Suddenly, a surge of Beast Power appeared within him, roughly equivalent to two days of training for a talented Beast Master.

The next day arrived quickly.

The sunlight was dazzling, piercing through the curtains.

Chen Shu, groggy, instinctively reached for his phone to check the time.

12:07.

Why so early? It was just midnight?

Chen Shu, in a daze, was about to fall back asleep.

Suddenly, he jolted awake. How could there be sunlight at dawn?!

Chen Shu's eyes snapped open, and he checked his phone.

"Damn, I slept till noon?"

He exclaimed, surprised at how late it was.

No wonder the holiday felt so short; it was because there was no morning.

Chen Shu quickly freshened up; his parents had already gone to work.

He arrived outside Zhang Dali's house.

Bang bang bang!

"Dali! Zhang Dali!"

After a long wait with no response, Chen Shu shouted loudly.

"Fire! Fire!"

Soon, a group of people, holding fire extinguishers and looking panicked, rushed over.

"Where's the fire? Where?!"

Chen Shu was startled, not expecting so many people to show up.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Liu, I was just trying to liven things up..." Chen Shu said awkwardly.

"This kid!" The group sighed in relief, scolded Chen Shu a bit, and left.

After a while, Zhang Dali appeared at the door, groggy.

"Chen Shu, what are you shouting about in the middle of the night? Wow, what a big moon, but why is it so bright!"

Zhang Dali shielded his eyes from the sunlight.

"It's already noon!"

Chen Shu was speechless, realizing he wasn't the only one who thought it was dawn.

"Why is your house so dark?"

He glanced into Zhang Dali's house, which was pitch black with no sunlight.

"My dad's Contracted Spirit skill, something called 'Nightfall', improves sleep quality. Not bad, right?"

Zhang Dali stretched and turned on the lights in the house.

"Let me get ready."

Ten minutes later, the two left the community and headed to the 666 Elixir Company.

In the High-Tech Zone of Nanjiang City, various major enterprises were located here.

The 666 Elixir Company was one of the top enterprises, specializing in various Beast Master elixirs.

The two extravagantly took a taxi to the High-Tech Zone.

"Let's eat first, recharge, and then go for the interview."

They went to a sparsely populated Chinese restaurant and ordered a few dishes.

"Boss, what's your signature dish here?"

Zhang Dali was about to eat but suddenly looked displeased.

"Tomato stir-fried with tomatoes, no mistake!" a waiter approached.

"Then why are there only tomatoes, where are the tomatoes?" Zhang Dali poked around with his chopsticks.

"The tomatoes are in there too," the waiter said earnestly.

"???"

Chen Shu and Zhang Dali simultaneously realized and let out a sound of understanding.

"Tomato stir-fried with tomatoes?? What are you doing here?"

The two's mouths twitched, feeling their understanding shattered.

"It's just plain stir-fried tomatoes. The boss added words to make it sound more interesting," the waiter said with a smile, laying it all out.

"Forget it, let's eat."

Chen Shu shook his head, not wanting to argue. Despite the ridiculous name, it was well-cooked.

After eating, the two arrived at the entrance of the 666 Elixir Company.

Looking at the imposing office building, they walked in with a confident stride.

"Who are you looking for?" The security guard at the entrance asked politely.

"Senior, senior! I'm Zhang Dali, a classmate of Xu Xiaoyu. I want to work as a security guard here," Zhang Dali said.

"So it's you two. Miss Xu has already informed us."

The security captain spoke, smiling, without any difficulty.

Clearly, Xu Xiaoyu had spoken to them beforehand. The two had saved her life, so naturally, she would ensure everything went smoothly.

"Little Wang, take this student to the potion department."

A security guard came out and led Chen Shu into the company.

As for Zhang Dali, he stayed in the security department.

With Xu Xiaoyu's connections, Zhang Dali was sure to become a security guard. As for Chen Shu's job, it depended on luck.

"Little brother, becoming a Potion Master Assistant won't be easy."

Security guard Little Wang looked at him with curiosity. A high school student becoming a Potion Master Assistant was unusual.

"I'm not here to be an assistant. I'm here to brew potions."

Chen Shu said casually, observing the exquisitely decorated office building.

"Brewing potions? Haha, you're quite humorous," Little Wang chuckled.

They took the elevator to the tenth floor of the office building.

A sturdy glass door appeared, with a layout of small laboratories inside. Each lab had several people, all wearing white lab coats.

"Are you here to become a Potion Master?"
