I have Sharingan in another world

However, Zhou Shu thought that since the other party had helped him get a task, he should at least share a portion with him, so he gladly accepted.

Looking at the information given to him by his teacher, Zhou Shu figured that these bandits must have fled from Qingye City in the south. The Heavenly Star Emperor had given dozens of surrounding cities to the Demon Emperor. Under the Demon Emperor's rule, even these bandits were not living a comfortable life. Ordinary residents must be living in dire straits!

Thinking of all this, Zhou Shu couldn't help but laugh at himself. He wasn't a savior; he should first figure out how to deal with the bandits in front of him.

This group of bandits numbered around 200, with an average strength of about the seventh rank. A fifth-rank expert leading 200 bandits to plunder the surrounding area—no wonder they dared to harass even areas not far from Luo City.

The information the teacher provided about this group of bandits was very comprehensive, even clearly marking their headquarters location on Tiger Roar Mountain, southeast of Los Angeles.

It's no wonder the defense forces of the surrounding cities were unwilling to go. Firstly, Tiger Roar Mountain has rugged terrain and treacherous paths. Secondly, those pampered city defense forces hadn't taken up arms in battle for many years; how could they possibly be a match for these fierce bandits?

Although they had tried to suppress the bandits several times in the past, they had always returned empty-handed, which only emboldened the bandits!

This band of bandits used to only dare to raid the surrounding villages every 15 days or so. Now, not only are they raiding more frequently, but a few days ago they even stormed a small town at the foot of Tiger Roar Mountain and looted everything inside! The bandit leader even became the town lord himself.

This changed the nature of the conflict, escalating it from banditry to rebellion. Fearing the wrath of the Heavenly Star Emperor, the other city lords sought help from Luo City.

After figuring out the mission, Zhou Shu and Huangfu Chen prepared to set off that very night, and they also took Grey Wolf with them, as Grey Wolf had been cooped up at home for too long.

Grey Wolf seemed to be in a better mood after getting some fresh air, and he was very excited the whole way.

The city that the bandits occupied was called Tiger Roar City. It was a small city, but because it was close to Los Angeles, it was much richer than other cities of similar size.

"I don't know what use these guards are! I heard these bandits are extremely fierce. Should we call a few more helpers?" Huangfu Chen suggested.

Hearing this, Zhou Shu quickly shook his head. One more person means one more expense. Now that Huangfu Chen is added, it has already reduced the cost by 500,000. If there is one more, and the cost is divided equally among the three people, then he will only have 300,000 or so.

No, absolutely not!

Huangfu Chen never expected that Zhou Shu had such thoughts. The 100 million yuan given by the academy was not so much a reward as it could be considered an activity fund. To wipe out 200 bandits, a team of about 20 people would be needed!

Zhou Shu smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, the three of us are enough!"

Seeing Zhou Shu say this, Huangfu Chen didn't know if Zhou Shu was confident or arrogant. Those were 200 fierce robbers! How come you talk about them like it's a joke?

It took Zhou Shu and Huangfu Chen nearly two days to reach Tiger Roar City. Even with Huangfu Chen's fifth-rank strength, he couldn't keep up. The two, one human and one wolf, seemed tireless, running frantically. Huangfu Chen, exhausted from walking all day, wanted to rest, but was mercilessly scorned by Grey Wolf!

Damn it, even though I can't beat Zhou Shu, do you think my fifth-grade physical body is inferior to his? Just wait and see what kind of expression you'll have when your master collapses!

Zhou Shu had no idea that Huangfu Chen and Grey Wolf were holding back their energy, but after walking for a day and a night, Huangfu Chen actually fell asleep from exhaustion and collapsed on the ground!

After Zhou Shu and Grey Wolf guarded Huangfu Chen for several hours, he slowly regained consciousness.

When Huangfu Chen woke up, he saw the mocking look in Grey Wolf's eyes and felt incredibly frustrated. He wanted to fight back but couldn't beat him. He was so angry!

Upon arriving at Tiger Roar City, they found that the city gates were not tightly closed, and corpses were strewn everywhere, as they had imagined. Although there were signs of looting, the scene was not as horrific as the intelligence reports had described.

The residents of the city were also busy with their own affairs in an orderly manner. Apart from the occasional curses that the bandits were not human and that their ancestors were cursed, there was nothing else.

Zhou Shu and his group passed by a Tiger Roar Noodle Shop, which was bustling with people. This seemed rather unusual for a city that had just been looted.

The two men and the wolf went straight in, and a waiter with a towel draped over his shoulder greeted them: "Would you two like a private room on the second floor, or just the main hall on the first floor?"

In the lobby, Zhou Shu glanced at the menu hanging on the wall: "Ten bowls of beef noodles, Huangfu Chen, what would you like to eat?"

"Two servings will be enough for me." When Huangfu Chen heard Zhou Shu say he wanted to eat 10 bowls of beef noodles, he seemed to understand why Zhou Shu was so short of money. This guy can eat too much!

"Alright." The waiter led Zhou Shu and his group inside, and when they saw Grey Wolf, they were shocked. Where did such a fierce-looking wolf-dog come from?

Zhou Shu glanced at them and, having overheard some people discussing the robbers from the recent period, said to Huangfu Chen, "Take Grey Wolf over there and sit down. I'll listen to what they're saying!"

Zhou Shu stopped and saw several seats put together, with a group of people gathered around the table. An old man said, "I heard that the city lords of other cities in the surrounding area went to Luo City for help. I wonder if those people can wipe out those bandits!"

"These bandits are despicable, but at least they're only after money," a burly man said indignantly. "These bandits killed the former city lord. I thought the White Tiger Gang's mountain king was still the city lord! The former city lord was indeed useless. The tax rate was so high and it was completely pointless. On top of that, with the bandits robbing us, we simply couldn't live like this!"

"When the bandits heard that people from Los Angeles had been invited, they were all so frightened that they hid deep in the mountains and dared not come out."

"I heard that the information provided to Los Angeles this time portrays the bandits as very ruthless!"

"Those who are in charge of the business, unless you put it bluntly, they won't send anyone over. All crows are black!"

"Hopefully these people from Los Angeles can do something. They've asked us to donate before the city defense battles have even started. We've donated a lot of money, but we haven't gotten any results!" A pot-bellied, bald man looked very angry.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shu roughly understood what had happened to these robbers. In reality, they were far less horrific than the information described. The fact that the former city lord was killed and the residents even cheered showed just how unpopular the city lord had been over the years.

Zhou Shu returned to his seat and started eating beef noodles. Although they weren't as good as the ones he made himself, he was indeed a bit hungry after traveling such a long distance.

"Check, please!" Zhou Shu called to the waiter, "How much?"

"That'll be 1200 spirit coins in total!" the waiter said politely with a smile.

"What? So expensive?" Zhou Shu was furious.

"This is the price for now, sir. You're not trying to dine and dash, are you? Our restaurant is under the protection of the White Tiger Gang of Tiger Roar Mountain!" The waiter could tell that Zhou Shu and his group were not locals, and the richly dressed man accompanying them was obviously rich and powerful. He figured he would take advantage of them if he could.

Seeing Zhou Shu's anger, Grey Wolf also revealed a ferocious look. Huangfu Chen, who was standing to the side, quickly said, "Here, take it!"

Huangfu Chen casually handed the money to the waiter, then pulled Zhou Shu outside.

The waiter thought they were scared and muttered under his breath, "Don't you even know what kind of shop this is? You can't even open your eyes properly!"

Zhou Shu and his group had just reached the door.

Tap tap tap...

The sound of thunderous hooves came from the direction of Tiger Roaring Mountain, and the once bustling noodle shop suddenly fell silent, with the customers looking as if they had lost their parents.

The sound of horses' hooves grew closer, and the crowd outside the noodle shop seemed to be shouting and running away.
