Several experts, graduates of the Fourth Academy, who had come to provide support, were applauding.
Amazing!
Heavenly Amazing!
The most amazing!
Truly too amazing!
When they saw the monstrous evil bear, they immediately recognized it as a strength-type evil creature. According to their detection, it was a level four, and even if they joined forces, they might not be able to subdue it easily. If anyone wasn't in top condition that day, for example, if the tank had been too exhausted the night before and couldn't withstand the creature's attacks, it could have led to a complete collapse.
"Incredible!"
"Yeah, you subdued this kind of evil creature without even wearing any equipment. Aren't you a bit too strong?"
They showered him with praise.
Liu Ying felt awkward and wanted to tell the truth: You're really overthinking it. I was also knocked unconscious by the giant evil bear and have no idea what happened.
But considering his girlfriend was still there, he couldn't say anything yet. He would wait until he'd tricked his girlfriend into leaving, then tell them the real situation.
After all, this wasn't good behavior. What if it gave his Maoshan graduate colleagues the impression, "I'm a Maoshan graduate, just like Liu Ying. If he can do it, why can't I? I can solo it too."
If that ultimately led to irreversible losses, things would truly go to hell.
"You go home and wait for me. There are still things to deal with here." Liu Ying urged his girlfriend to leave first. What followed was work for professionals; bystanders should leave quickly.
His girlfriend was reluctant, kissed Liu Ying, then happily took out her phone and looked at the messages, all filled with envy and praise. Her heart brimming with joy, she went home.
Watching his girlfriend's departing figure, Liu Ying slowly said, "Don't misunderstand. I didn't subdue it. Someone else subdued the giant evil bear."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
One man, also a Maoshan Academy graduate, breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't him. Otherwise, he would have to wonder why the gap between people was so large.
"Then why didn't you say so earlier?" someone asked.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Liu Ying countered.
"No."
"If not, then there's nothing to say."
Someone without a girlfriend was simply a loser. Explaining to him felt like a waste of time.
Suddenly, there was a noise.
"The evil creature isn't dead."
Everyone was shocked. They had assumed the creature was dead, after all, there was a pool of blood. If it were a human, that amount of blood loss would be fatal.
The giant evil bear awoke.
It was very confused. Things had happened too quickly; before it could react, the world had turned upside down.
Seeing humans in front of it, the ferocious nature of the evil creature within was activated.
It roared, wanting to tear all the humans in front of it to shreds with its absolute strength.
But wait!
It discovered something terrifying: its limbs wouldn't obey. The giant evil bear looked at its left and right hands, then its left and right legs. Its ferocious expression gradually froze.
The atmosphere at the scene was very quiet.
Where are my paws? Where did my paws go…?
Even Liu Ying and the others only then noticed that the giant evil bear's paws seemed to have been chopped off.
Who did it?
Who was so cruel?
To even chop off an evil creature's paws… what were they thinking?
The giant evil bear struggled, trying to get up, but fell back down again. It tried many times, but the result was the same; nothing changed.
Its heart roared.
What happened?
For some reason, it suddenly remembered what other evil creatures had told it: When you get to the human city, you have to act cute. They have no resistance to cuteness.
Hide there.
Wait for the opportunity.
It had scoffed at this idea, disdainful. What a lowly thought, to sell out one's cuteness and hide.
Now, it regretted it deeply.
If given another chance, it would willingly become a cute bear cub and perform somersaults in the zoo for those lowly humans.
Not for any particular reason.
Just so they could see its cuteness.
"Seal!"
A Maoshan graduate pinched a hand seal, and a golden talisman landed on the giant evil bear, sealing the already severely injured creature.
"I didn't expect this to happen. We should notify headquarters to come and transport the evil creature away."
They had arrived too late; everything was already over by the time they got there.
Liu Ying took out the bloodstained tooth. In his current situation, he couldn't miss out on the medical compensation.
For some reason, the image of the three people who had appeared earlier flashed through his mind. He dismissed the woman; she didn't seem capable of such a feat.
As for the other two… ridiculous, how could it be them? If it were them, it wouldn't make sense.
In the small house in the alley, the prostitute stood in front of the gas stove. White smoke rose from the pot, where some kind of delicacy was cooking, emitting a fragrant aroma.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang sat at the dining table, waiting quietly.
"Do you think it will be delicious?" Old Zhang asked.
"This is my first time, too. It should be good," Lin Fan replied.
They both looked at the prostitute. She was truly a good person, willing to cook for them. Truly a good person, but good people didn't seem to be very happy.
She had been silent on the way back.
She hadn't said a word.
It must be because she thought she wouldn't get any bear paw.
He would definitely give her a paw to try later.
Although two paws might not be enough for him, he liked to share good things with friends.
Being a little hungry was nothing.
The prostitute's mind was reeling. Thinking back to the scene at the breakfast shop, their decisive actions, their swift departure… who were they? Were they really patients from a mental hospital?
That was an evil creature! Why was the evil creature the one lying there in the end?
She really couldn't understand.
The pot boiled.
Because the bear paws were so large and there were so many, she used a large pot to cook them, steaming them like buns.
The prostitute placed the bear paws on plates, one paw filling each plate.
Thinking that these were the paws of an evil creature, she felt nauseous.
It was more unsettling than the snake before.
"It's ready."
The prostitute brought the plates over, four in total.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang looked at the bear paws, their mouths watering. Old Zhang had eaten his fill earlier, but Lin Fan's stomach was like a bottomless pit; he was really hungry.
"Here's one for you."
Lin Fan pushed a plate of bear paw towards the prostitute with a bright smile.
"It's very delicious."
The prostitute looked at the bear paw and quickly waved her hand. "No, really, it's okay. You eat. I already ate a lot at the breakfast shop."
"Alright then."
Lin Fan held the bear paw in both hands and opened his mouth. Now, he was going to perform the "three bites, one paw" trick.
He took a bite.
The juices burst in his mouth.
The deliciousness overwhelmed Lin Fan's brain, leaving him with only one thought:
This is so good!
Old Zhang was right. Something soft and squishy is cute and must be delicious.
For example, dogs and snakes are delicious.
Mourning Dog: You're a real dog!
Black Serpent: Son of a bitch!
