Shuofeng has now grown quite strong. Although the edge of its beak is still surrounded by a faint yellow, its hardness and strength are enough to easily tear the skin and flesh of low-level monsters, and its claws are also shining with a sharp cold light.
Gu Shi looked at its energetic appearance and felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
Soon, in such a fulfilling life, time flew by and October came in the blink of an eye.
Gu Shi said hello to Field and returned to school through the teleportation array of the base. Shu Feng was left in the Mage Tower because of training and venue issues.
However, Gu Shi and Shu Feng promised to come back every three days, and the round-trip ticket price was nothing to him anyway.
As soon as he walked out of the teleportation array, Gu Shi felt the unusual atmosphere around him.
In order to better promote this competition, the school posted an extra-large poster in the teleportation tower, and Gu Shi immediately saw this eye-catching poster.
"The preliminaries for the first intramural exchange competition are in full swing? Has it already started?"
After reading the content clearly, Gu Shi couldn't help but mutter something, then he quickened his pace and returned to the dormitory building. If he had any questions, it would definitely be right to ask Cheng Xuqing when he got back.
Standing in the corridor, Gu Shi reached out and pushed the door. It was not locked. It seemed that there was still someone in the dormitory. After walking in, he was somewhat surprised to find that there were three people in the dormitory this time.
Zhao Zhize was the first to notice Gu Shi. He spoke with a bit of surprise: "Gu Shi, you're back. Speak of the devil, and he'll appear. We were just discussing when you would be back."
"Really? What a coincidence." Gu Shi walked over, pulled out his chair and sat down.
Cheng Xuqing continued, "We were just betting on whether you would participate in this campus exchange competition. However, since you're back at this time, you're ready to participate, right?"
Gu Shi shook his head. "You're wrong. I don't plan to participate in this competition. I came back now just because I thought someone from you would be participating, so I came back early to watch."
Qi Yu laughed, "Ha, it seems I won, give it to you."
Cheng Xuqing screamed, "No, why!"
Gu Shi understood at a glance that these two guys were betting with him.
Cheng Xuqing was a little unwilling and wanted to struggle again, "The rewards for this competition are so good, aren't you tempted? Come on, join me in the competition."
Gu Shi coughed lightly, deliberately putting on a rather deep posture, and said slowly in a low voice: "This kind of crushing game is too boring. Only a match of equal strength is worth my effort."
"Fuck, why are you still pretending!"
Cheng Xuqing picked up the tissue on the table and threw it to Gu Shi, "Did you learn bad things from other people during your time out there?"
"No way." Gu Shi took the pack of tissues with one hand and placed it on his desk very naturally.
"Hey, you're not only pretending, but you're also trying to take advantage of my paper."
"Didn't you just throw this paper to me? Come and get it if you want it."
"Watch this!"
Cheng Xuqing rushed towards Gu Shi with his teeth bared, and the two of them exchanged a few moves. Finally, Cheng Xuqing successfully returned to his seat with the paper.
Before he could be happy for another two seconds, Qi Yu slowly reminded him: "Don't forget, you haven't paid me the bet we agreed on yet."
Cheng Xuqing's back, which had been straight just now, immediately bent down. He handed a small box on his desk to Qi Yu with a look of reluctance.
Gu Shi was a little curious and quietly turned around to ask Zhao Zhize, "What's in that box?"
Zhao Zhize shrugged. "Nothing much, just some food."
Gu Shi was quite confused. "Food? Then why does Cheng Xuqing look so shocked?"
Zhao Zhize explained: "Those foods are local specialties that Cheng Xuqing bought at a high price. They are said to be quite rare.
Besides, he was in debt because of the staff, so he rarely had the chance to buy snacks. He bought these specialties specifically to celebrate paying off his debts."
"I see."
While Gu Shi and Zhao Zhize were talking, Qi Yu had successfully taken the small box containing the local specialties from Cheng Xuqing.
Qi Yu opened the box and took a look. Inside was a cylindrical metal can. He opened the lid and saw that it was full of orange peels.
"Orange peel?"
Cheng Xuqing immediately retorted: "This is tangerine peel, tangerine peel! I bought it specially to make tea."
Qi Yu's voice was a little hesitant. "Will this stuff be good for making tea? The skin has turned black. Could it be moldy?"
"You don't understand. The black color of the tangerine peel means it's been stored for a long time. The older the tangerine peel is, the more fragrant it tastes."
"Can this taste good?"
Seeing Qi Yu's still somewhat skeptical look, Cheng Xuqing simply made the decision and said, "Gu Shi happened to be back today. I'll make you some tangerine peel and hawthorn tea. It tastes sour and sweet, and it's guaranteed to be delicious."
As he said that, Cheng Xuqing took the jar from Qi Yu's hand, and then hurried out, apparently to borrow a pot from the next dormitory.
Zhao Zhize was a little surprised, "I didn't expect Cheng Xuqing to be able to make tea."
Qi Yu said dimly, "I just hope he's not planning to poison us."
Gu Shi smiled and advised, "Don't worry, judging from Cheng Xuqing's expression just now, the final result shouldn't be too bad to drink."
Then he changed the subject, "Speaking of which, are you two planning to participate in this campus exchange competition?"
