Of course not—just a trivial effort. With me around, are problems really that big? Definitely not.\" Chen Shu answered his own rhetorical questions with the confidence of someone who'd never met a mirror he didn't like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to this odd display, Old Deng had to admit that while it was strange, he was starting to acknowledge Chen Shu for who he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he appeared unreliable, when it really mattered, he could step up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the Wind-Winged Eagle above let out a soft cry, and an invisible wind blade descended, instantly killing an Azure-eyed Snake on the tree above everyone's heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The skill's destructive power was evident!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, under the Wind-Winged Eagle's protection, no further crises arose. But the group likewise hadn't managed to gather any herbs from the Alternate Dimension.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We'll stay here tonight and head back first thing tomorrow morning!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was great potential for riches in Qingyuan Forest, it was best not to linger too long, otherwise they'd inevitably encounter some truly terrifying creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's stomach started making executive decisions, so he pulled out the Blood-Fang Boar meat and set up his barbecue rack once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We're in for another treat today,\" Chen Shu spoke, his gaze fixed on the large tree overhead where everyone could see a massive beehive hanging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shi frowned and commanded the Wind-Winged Eagle to scout it out. He eventually determined that inside were just slightly larger bees—they couldn't even be classified as fierce beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Contract Spirits mobilized together, taking down the hive. Naturally, all the bees met their demise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Today we'll make honey-glazed wild boar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, everyone could smell the mouth-watering aroma, their eyes instantly filling with anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over twenty pounds of succulent pork disappeared faster than free samples at Costco, leaving everyone in a state of culinary bliss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm telling you, Little Chen, you should just go straight to Beast Chef University. You'd definitely excel more there than as a Beast Tamer!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These days, professions were incredibly diverse. Beast Chefs specialized in cooking various fierce beast meats, and long-term consumption could even enhance Contract Spirits' attributes—making it a respectable and high-end profession in society.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu curled his lip, \"Forget it, you're trying to bury a future legendary Beast Tamer! Besides, my best friend Zhang Dali is way better at cooking than me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had indeed learned from Zhang Dali. When it came to culinary skills, Zhang Dali was absolutely outstanding—he'd even won the championship in Nanjiang City's cooking competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After chatting for a while, everyone grew drowsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shi spoke up: \"Get some rest early. Tonight's watch order remains unchanged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone returned to their respective tents, leaving only Chen Shu and Old Deng by the campfire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the quiet night, Chen Shu lay beside the campfire, gazing at the clear sky with deep eyes, as if pondering the meaning of life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should've gone easier on the honey... rookie mistake...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Deng suddenly broke the silence, \"Little Chen, you should be seventeen this year, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm? What? Jealous of my youth?\" Chen Shu replied, a blade of wild grass dangling from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Deng chuckled, then suddenly said, \"You’re about the same age as my daughter...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoa there, if you're trying to play matchmaker, romance is the ultimate debuff in competitive gaming!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You little rascal, why do you look like you're getting the short end of the stick? I just purely want you young people to interact and communicate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Old Deng whipped out his phone to show a photo, prompting Chen Shu to shoot up from his seat. \"Old Deng, have you no conscience? Is this how you repay a lifesaver?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"???\" Old Deng's face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did this kid put poison on his lips? What the hell do you mean, 'repaying kindness with hatred'?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But the real kicker is you saying she's 'about my age'?! That's just shameless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu was equally speechless. The photo showed a little girl wearing a red neckerchief, proudly holding a certificate that read 'Nanjiang City North Elementary School.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did he think I was blind?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem... she's about to start middle school. You're a senior, she'll be in seventh grade—won't you both be in the same school?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get out of here...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu stared in disbelief. Father of the year material right here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was enduring Old Deng's sales pitch, options suddenly materialized before Chen Shu's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Option 1: Roll three meters to the right, dodge the attack.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completion Reward: Contract Spirit Speed +5%\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Option 2: Believe you have Iron Head Technique and use it to block the Earth-Shaking Bear's attack.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Completion Reward: Beast Tamer Level +1\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression froze momentarily in confusion, but realization hit like a truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu's leg shot out, sending Old Deng flying several meters away while using the recoil to roll in the opposite direction, just as a terrifying giant paw slammed down exactly where he had been sitting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"ROAR!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive bear blending into the darkness let out a savage roar, filled with ferocious energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"HELP! THE BLACK BEAR DEMON IS HERE TO STEAL THE KASAYA!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu screamed at the top of his lungs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sleeping campers instantly jolted awake, scrambling out of their tents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sharp cry pierced the air as the Wind-Winged Eagle responded, sending a wind blade slicing through. It instantly severely wounded the Earth-Shaking Bear, leaving it on death's door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the Earth-Shaking Bear stood nearly three meters tall and looked terrifying, it was only a Level 9 fierce beast—basically a tutorial boss for their party.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Chen, Old Deng, are you alright?\" Zhou Shi rushed over, asking with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Chen Shu and Old Deng nodded their heads, indicating they were fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just then, Chen Shu's expression turned alarmed, \"There are accomplices!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar confirmed his warning, and by the light of the campfire and moon, everyone could vaguely see black bear silhouettes emerging from the darkness, surrounding them completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Shi bellowed \"BATTLE STATIONS!\" and everyone immediately summoned their Contract Spirits. The showdown was about to begin!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We clearly spread fierce beast lord dung around camp. How could we attract so many Earth-Shaking Bears?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shu suddenly had an epiphany. He licked his lips thoughtfully, as if savoring a memory, and said, \"Probably because... we stole their honey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1094,"2026-06-05T16:05:11.490Z",1,"novelbin.me","a48f07654ff60ca7c2087cb854bfe44a4aba4646350314d03e628d6d7b8bc48a","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-54","it-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--chapter-52",167,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fit-s-perfectly-normal-for-my-slime-to-beat-up-a--cover.jpg"]
