54: Spokesperson

Bai Sheng shrugged. He had heard many rumors and stories about Talents and strengths like Lin Shu’s.

But the strongest he had ever witnessed firsthand was Lin Shu.

To achieve such results in just two months, even if he cleared the Trial Tower, Bai Sheng wouldn’t be surprised.

Bai Sheng suddenly thought of something and quickly said,

“Oh, right, Lin Shu, if you’re confident you can clear the Trial Tower, you absolutely must try.”

“Preferably before your second year of high school. That way, you’ll qualify for special recruitment by the five top universities.”

Bai Sheng told Lin Shu everything he knew; this was a good opportunity that shouldn't be wasted.

Lin Shu, however, didn’t answer, displaying a look that said, ‘Those who know, know; those who don’t, I’m not going to elaborate.’

Seeing such a meaningful expression, Bai Sheng immediately realized, 'Has he already been approached about these things?'

Then his pupils contracted, and he looked at Lin Shu in surprise.

“You’ve already…”

“Holy cow!”

Clearly, Bai Sheng had already figured out that Lin Shu had been contacted by university representatives; otherwise, how would he know these conditions?

However, he didn’t try to ask further; it was up to Lin Shu whether he wanted to share it with him.

Seeing Bai Sheng’s reaction, Lin Shu just smiled faintly.

“Yes, it’s Central State University.”

“This matter is actually very much related to you.”

Lin Shu didn’t hide the matter, after all, it was Bai Sheng who recommended him to Praying Mantis Martial Hall, so telling him was no big deal.

Hearing this, Bai Sheng was a bit confused. How was it related to him? After thinking for a moment, there was only one answer: it could only be Praying Mantis Martial Hall.

Seeing Bai Sheng’s look of sudden realization, Lin Shu continued,

“Yes, it’s Praying Mantis Martial Hall.”

“This is also because your strength is sufficient; otherwise, others wouldn’t necessarily have this kind of opportunity.”

Bai Sheng said these words, his own recommendation was an irrelevant matter; gold shines everywhere, and it will always be discovered by others.

He wouldn’t dare to hope for special recruitment into a university based on this condition; cultivating his spiritual objects to Level 45 was a condition he could barely meet, it couldn’t compare.

Afterward, the two chatted briefly on this topic.

Only then did Bai Sheng state the purpose of asking Lin Shu to come over.

“The endorsement for my family’s White Cloud Arena is expiring in a few days.”

“I’d like to recommend you as our endorser. What do you think?”

“With your looks, it would be a real shame not to endorse something.”

“All the terms and conditions will be according to the highest standards.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Shu knew what this meant; it was a form of indirect investment.

However, he agreed without hesitation; this was a good thing.

“Sounds good.”

Bai Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Shu agreed. The original conditions could no longer keep up with Lin Shu’s improvement.

He was really afraid that Lin Shu would look down on these things.

“Then it’s settled.”

“Speaking of which, I’m the one benefiting, after all, with your current strength, winning the Chu Niao Cup championship is a sure thing.”

“The traffic it will bring then will be more than enough.”

“So I plan to go back and discuss it, and try to get you more, so you don’t lose out.”

His words were full of sincerity and gratitude.

Lin Shu thought for a moment and said,

“It’s fine, just do your best. It’s okay if there’s nothing extra.”

“I’m relatively easy to satisfy.”

Lin Shu smiled, and Bai Sheng smiled back.

“Oh, right, after the top 30 in the Chu Niao Cup, three Beastmasters will be selected as official endorsers.”

“There are no rewards though.”

“But the traffic is huge, and this is a way to expand your fame within Fengdu City.”

“Quite a few people are vying for these three spots.”

“If you need it, I can help you secure a position.”

Lin Shu shook his head at this.

“That’s alright, I’m not interested.”

This kind of traffic held no meaning for Lin Shu; it would be better if it were exchanged for Beastmaster resources, then Lin Shu might have a little interest.

It was just something some internet-famous Beastmasters liked, used to gain some traffic.

In Lin Shu’s subconscious, he still believed that a Beastmaster needed to speak with strength.

Other things were just icing on the cake.

“Indeed, it’s all just empty fame.”

Bai Sheng also understood Lin Shu’s meaning; he had just mentioned it in passing.

Then he continued to talk about the things needed for the endorsement.

“Filming can be done around next Friday.”

“And after this shoot, there won’t be anything else to do.”

“We’re just using your image to promote our arena.”

Lin Shu nodded; this job was very easy and convenient, a one-time solution.

“Then we can discuss some details later.”

“After that, the endorsement resources will be handed directly to you.”

Bai Sheng finished explaining the entire endorsement process; such conditions were quite good.

Although Lin Shu currently possessed many resources, who would ever complain about having too many resources?

“Okay, no problem.”

With the main topics mostly covered, Bai Sheng didn’t continue to speak.

Instead, he turned to Lin Shu and issued a challenge. Although he knew he basically had no chance of winning,

he wanted to test his current strength and see how big the gap was.

Lin Shu was silent upon hearing this. Black Night had just made a huge leap in strength, and you’re coming to seek abuse?

You’re really brave. There was no choice but to let Black Night go a little easy.

But even so, the Blue Thunder Pattern Bear was defeated in less than a minute. This situation was still hard for Bai Sheng to accept, and he was greatly disheartened.

He exclaimed that the gap was too big and felt very hurt.

After just one match, he lost interest in continuing the fight and led Lin Shu back to the VIP room.

They began to enjoy dinner; these foods had a strong allure for Black Night, making him incredibly fond of them.

After dinner, they returned to the suite Bai Sheng had arranged to rest... Time came to the next morning. Lin Shu was woken up early by the sounds outside the arena.

The chaotic and noisy sounds were very jarring, which made Lin Shu, who had finally managed to sleep in, a bit uncomfortable.

Although it was only nine in the morning, and there was still an hour and a half until the competition began, the outside was already bustling with people.

Clearly, smart people intended to enter early, but they hadn't expected everyone else to be smart people too, all gathering together.

Black Night and Earth Splendor, however, were still diligently practicing their skills on the other side.

At this moment, Lin Shu saw Bai Sheng frantically busy outside, dealing with all sorts of matters.

Lin Shu got up and tidied himself up briefly.

He picked up his phone, which showed a chat history with Min Hu.

Min Hu had just arrived at White Cloud Arena and was already seated in the ready area, waiting.

It was still early, so Lin Shu didn't plan to go over. Instead, he took out two spiritual objects from his spatial ring and fed them to Black Night and Earth Splendor.

These were items from the spatial ring given by his mentor.

The spatial ring was filled with over a hundred types of spiritual objects, ranging from 3rd to 4th tier, enough for Lin Shu to use for a long time.

Although their attributes weren't perfectly aligned, the effects wouldn't be too discounted after use...
