Although he had plenty of free time, Fang Si's spare moments were extremely rare. As the highest-level Beast Taming university, the intensity of competition at China Academy was unimaginable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu opened his contact list and clicked on Xu Xiaoyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Xiaoyu, I'm going for an interview tomorrow. Can you reveal any insider information?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long wait with no reply, he sent another message, unable to hold back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Xiaoyu, are you busy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm eating melon.\"*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Translator's Note: \"Eating melon\" (chī guā) is Chinese internet slang for watching drama or gossip unfold online.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's face lit up with interest. Was the internet stirring up drama again?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whose melon are you eating?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To his surprise, Xu Xiaoyu quickly replied: \"Hami melon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu: \"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she really was just eating melon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Xu Xiaoyu started messaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Potion Master position? If you're proficient in high school materials science, you might become a Potion Master's assistant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyu's meaning was clear—a high school student becoming a Potion Master was pure fantasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, don't call me sister, just call me Xiaoyu. I just turned sixteen...\" While most people underwent their awakening ceremony in ninth grade, she had only awakened in tenth grade before being transferred to Beast Taming Class 1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What if I can proficiently brew one type of potion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu asked. In his potion studies, his proficiency with Strength Potion had reached Control level—not only was his success rate 100%, but he could also reduce materials by 30%.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cold medicine potion?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just go try anyway. Maybe you'll catch a Potion Master's eye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xiaoyu lay on her bed with a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A high school student proficiently brewing potions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were that easy, Beast Tamer potions would have become universal long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Already familiar with Chen Shu's unreliability, Xu Xiaoyu turned off her phone and began cultivating Beast Taming Power with full focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems she doesn't believe me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu shook his head, turned off the lights, and started reading novels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At 1 AM, as Chen Shu prepared to sleep, options appeared before him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Option 1: Cultivate through the night, absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completion reward: Obtain title \"Super Diligent Talent\", wearing effect: Cultivation efficiency increases by 20%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Option 2: Fall straight asleep, lie flat completely.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completion reward: Small amount of Beast Taming Power\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Chen Pi fell straight asleep. A surge of Beast Taming Power suddenly appeared in his body, roughly equivalent to two days of cultivation for a talented Beast Tamer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day arrived quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sunlight blazed through the curtains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu opened his bleary eyes, his first instinct to check his phone for the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>12:07.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why so early? It's barely midnight?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's consciousness was hazy, about to sink back into deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly his spirit jolted—where did the sun come from at midnight?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's eyes snapped wide open as he grabbed his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Holy crap, I slept until noon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exclaimed, not expecting it to be so late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder vacation time felt especially fast—turns out there were no mornings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu quickly washed up. His parents had long since gone to work leaving him alone in the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He arrived at Zhang Dali's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dali! Zhang Dali!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long wait with no response, Chen Shu had to shout loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire! Fire!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a crowd of people, looking panicked and carrying fire extinguishers, rushed over at the sound of his shouts. \"Where's the fire? Where?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu was startled, not expecting to attract so many people. \"Uncle Wang, Aunt Liu, I was just trying to liven things up...\" he said awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This child!\" The crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief, scolded him a few times, and then left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, a bleary-eyed Zhang Dali appeared at the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Chen Pi, why are you shouting in the middle of the night? Whoa, such a bright moon tonight, but why is it so blinding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dali shielded his eyes from the sunlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is already noon!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu looked speechless. Turns out he wasn't the only one who thought it was midnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why is your house so dark?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked into Zhang Dali's home—there wasn't a ray of sunlight, only deep darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My dad's contract spirit skill, I think it's called 'Night Curtain'. It improves sleep quality. Nice, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dali stretched and casually turned on the lights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me get ready.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ten minutes later, they left the neighborhood and headed for 666 Potion Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nanjiang City's High-tech Zone was where all the major corporations were built.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>666 Potion Company was among the top enterprises, specializing in various Beast Tamer potions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two splurged on a taxi to the High-tech Zone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's eat first, build up our energy, then go for the interview.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found a sparsely populated Chinese restaurant and ordered a few dishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss, what's this signature dish you're serving?\" Zhang Dali was about to dig in when his face soured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomato fried with tomato, no mistake!\" a waiter approached and confirmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But I only see one ingredient. Where's the other half of the dish?\" Zhang Dali poked around with his chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The tomato is in there too,\" the waiter said with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu and Zhang Dali realized simultaneously, both letting out an \"Hm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tomato fried with tomato?? Are you serious right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their mouths twitched, feeling like their worldview had shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Actually it's just fried tomatoes. The boss padded the name to make it sound fancier,\" the waiter smiled, laying it all out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, forget it, let's just eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu shook his head and didn't pursue it further. Although the name was ridiculous, it was actually well-cooked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After filling their stomachs, they arrived at 666 Potion Company's entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the imposing office building, they strutted in with confident swagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Excuse me, who are you looking for?\" The security guard at the entrance asked professionally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior, senior! I'm Xu Xiaoyu's classmate Zhang Dali. I want to work as a security guard at the company,\" Zhang Dali said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's you two. Miss Xu already gave instructions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The security captain smiled knowingly, showing no difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly Xu Xiaoyu had mentioned them beforehand. They had saved her life after all—she would naturally do her best to help with this small matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Wang, take this student to the Potion Department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A security guard stepped forward to lead Chen Shu into the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Dali stayed with the security department.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xu Xiaoyu's connections, Zhang Dali would definitely become a security guard. As for Chen Shu's job, that would depend on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young man, wanting to be a Potion Master's assistant won't be easy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Security guard Xiao Wang had a strange look, clearly finding it unusual for a high school student to become a Potion Master's assistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not here to be an assistant. I'm here to properly brew potions.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu spoke casually while examining the exquisite decor of the office buildings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brew potions? Hehe, you're quite humorous, little brother.\" Xiao Wang laughed dryly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took the elevator to the tenth floor of the office building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An incredibly sturdy glass door appeared. Inside were individual small laboratories, each with varying numbers of people in white coats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to become a Potion Master?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1234,"2026-06-05T16:05:11.210Z",1,"novelbin.me","f8e7b4818366e3764aff6f7ee7119c50f7396237a1a8529292fc815e122ce9b4","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-132","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-131",167,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fit-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--cover.jpg"]
