Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 758 - 7400_2

Perhaps only a "god" like Number 21 could accomplish that.

This was an ancient voyage log. Its last entry recorded the landing of a science vessel named "Code 132" on a planet called "Distant Look 10."

...

Chen Gu glanced at the time. It was time for lunch.

BANG!

The dormitory door was suddenly flung open. Qiao Shuangyi and Lin Xiaochen rushed in with beaming smiles. "Brother Chen, you're finally back! Let's go have a grand feast, my treat!"

"We're treating," Lin Xiaochen hastily added, wanting to show he was also contributing.

"Order whatever you want!" Qiao Shuangyi put on an air of generosity. "I've been saving up my pocket money for several months."

Lin Xiaochen, nodding like a pecking chicken, chimed in, "Me too!"

Chen Gu looked at them both and resignedly asked, "You guys know too?"

Know what? Of course, they knew the third practical course was about to begin. These two bozos were preemptively paying their 'protection fee.'

"Hehe!" The two of them rubbed their hands together, looking sheepish as they laughed. "Brother Chen is truly Brother Chen, with eyes like torches, seeing right through us."

"This practical course sounds really dangerous, and we, being useless heirs, can only cling to Brother Chen's coattails!"

Lin Xiaochen also chimed in, "Brother Chen, there's limited space on your coattails. If you keep us two on, don't let anyone else crowd in. It would just be a burden to you."

Not just these two, but the other classmates were no fools either. They all sought to forge a connection with Chen Gu, the famous leg to cling to.

What Chen Gu didn't know was that these two lugs had locked the front and back doors of the classroom right after class, temporarily trapping the other students inside to secure their right to invite Brother Chen for a meal.

Chen Gu couldn't just ignore them. After all, the three of them got along best. Moreover, Chen Gu had had multiple collaborations with the Qiao Family and Lin Family and would need their support and cooperation in the future.

Chen Gu rubbed his stomach. "Lately, I really have been working like an ox and horse, starving myself. I might eat a bit more than usual."

Working like an ox and horse: four battles in two days, against sixteen opponents—even the mules in a farming team aren't that "hard-working," right?

Starving: Sporadic episodes of pica that he dared not indulge in—wasn't that like starving?

The color drained from their faces as they realized their months' savings were about to vanish, but they still gritted their teeth and said, "Please, Brother Chen, eat to your heart's content!"

Chen Gu smiled. "Well... then I won't stand on ceremony with you two?"

...

The surface of the desolate planet was covered with red and yellow rocks.

In the distance, dark clouds had already gathered into a huge mass, and tiny lightning bolts began to twist around the edges of the clouds like strange snakes.

The school principal stamped his foot and looked around again. "Alright, let's head back."

A woman following beside him said with a trace of helplessness, "You do this without even giving Bai Yunpeng a heads-up. He's definitely going to settle scores with you afterward."

The principal snorted with his nose in the air. "Am I afraid of him?"

...

The third battle of the "Seven Days of Fierce Fighting" was still against the same opponent decided by the previous draw, but the shouts of "refund" had already erupted before the match was over.

And this time, the Alliance really showed no mercy.

The opponent they assigned to Chen Gu was... four Alien Insect Race creatures!

For a time, the business of capturing live Alien Insect Race specimens was booming in the Star Sea. Due to humans' deep hatred toward the Insect Race from countless battles, performances of exterminating these creatures were popular on every planet.

Star Nations, in order to mobilize all forces and weaken the power of the Alien Insect Race, also fanned the flames, encouraging such "hunting" behavior.

However, as time passed, people grew weary of these shows, and capturing live specimens often cost more than killing them outright—hunting teams suffered heavy losses. Ironically, this ended up weakening human power, prompting Star Nations to discourage such practices, leading to the gradual disappearance of these Insect Race extermination performances in recent years.

Yet today, the Alliance had arranged such a "retro" match for Chen Gu.

The effect was surprisingly good.

It had been a long time since people had seen this kind of "performance," and watching Combat Rooster spiritedly peck open the skulls of these insects one by one felt extremely satisfying.

Especially for those fans who had lost relatives on the battlegrounds against the Insect Race.

After this additional match, Chen Gu's popularity soared once again. The Alliance didn't let the broadcasters down, as viewership also surged, ensuring they would recoup their extra investment.

On the fourth day, the added match involved four wild Energy Gathering Mechanical Species, each as massive as the Combat Rooster.

On the fifth day, the content of the extra match was a four-hundred-meter danger species. Although there was only one opponent, the match took place in a "Sea Environment"—a maritime danger species.

Combat Rooster was quite bedraggled, and it was only with Chen Gu's intervention that this opponent was defeated.

On the sixth day, the added challenge became even more ruthless, as the battlefield shifted to a swamp!

The swamp's polluted water, dissolved with numerous minerals, was highly corrosive to Energy Gathering Mechanical Species, and Combat Rooster's opponent was dozens of enormous eel-shaped danger species.

The fans' focus had completely shifted from the so-called "Seven Days of Fierce Fighting" to the additional challenges that followed. By this point, even fools could see that the "fierce battles" posed no challenge to Chen Gu whatsoever.
