They were busy until late at night!
Raking in over seventy Black Iron spirit pearls!
And thirteen Bronze spirit pearls!
Wu Liang never imagined Jiangnan would clinch first place by selling skewers!
The two are cleaning up the stall when Jiangnan grabs a pile of skewers and heads toward the stationed troops.
These past few days, Jiangnan has harvested an unimaginable amount of resentment points!
Constantly updating, never stopping!
One detail catches Jiangnan’s attention in particular!
A name that shouldn’t be there appears on the resentment points list!
[Resentment points from Ivanov Harivith +666!]
It’s shown up three times in the past two days!
And only since arriving at this final safe zone!
Jiangnan smells a conspiracy!
Someone from White Shark?
He’s determined to find out who this person is!
That’s why he’s been snapping photos and showing off like crazy these past two days!
Trying to confirm if Ivanov is hiding among the teams!
But it turns out he’s not!
That leaves only one possibility!
Jiangnan approaches the night-shift soldiers with beer and skewers!
“Mate! Want some? Smells amazing!”
The soldier glances at Jiangnan coldly, face unchanging, standing ramrod straight!
[Resentment points from Wang Jianhua +333!]
Hmm…
Not this one!
The Ultimate Street Stall System’s name-revealing ability is absolutely game-changing!
Perfect for tracking people down!
“Mate! You’ve been on duty all day, treat the lads, yeah? Have a bite?”
“There are regulations!”
“Really not eating?”
Jiangnan waves a skewer under the soldier’s nose!
[Resentment points from Liu Yuquan +666!]
Sorry, soldier bro!
I’m forced into this!
If you’re gonna hate someone, hate that Ivanov guy!
He tries half the group, but no one takes a bite!
Finally, he reaches a burly soldier, one point eight metres tall!
The guy’s expression shifts, he swallows hard, and tentatively says, “Alright… one skewer then?”
Jiangnan exclaims, “Bloody hell! You’re actually eating? Aren’t there regulations?”
The soldier’s face darkens!
So you weren’t planning to let us eat?
Then why parade around with those skewers? Just to piss us off?
[Resentment points from Ivanov Harivith +999!]
Jiangnan’s eyes light up!
Bingo!
But looking at this soldier, he doesn’t have many features typical of someone from Goose Country…
Plastic surgery? Or some spiritual skill?
The system never makes mistakes!
“I’m just worried you’d get in trouble! Tell you what, I’ll cover for you! Have some!”
Jiangnan hands the skewer to Ivanov!
The guy wolfs it down!
Hmm?
Tastes a bit like soybeans?
And, bloody hell, this kid’s skewers are way too salty!
After he finishes, Jiangnan cheerfully moves on!
No one else eats, so Jiangnan sighs, holding the skewers, “Guess I’ll toss them! What a waste!”
Watching Jiangnan’s carefree back, Ivanov sneers coldly!
Enjoy yourself while it lasts!
Outside the safe zone, Jiangnan’s face turns grim!
He heads to an unremarkable crooked tree!
Dumps the skewers!
Claps his hands, teleports back to the safe zone.
Inside the tent, Jiangnan calls Wu Liang and Tang Qianya over!
“What’s up, South Bro? Something wrong?”
Jiangnan says, “If something happens tonight, you take Little Tangtang and run. Head to the next safe zone, find the stationed troops for protection, got it?”
“Don’t worry about me! Don’t follow me!”
Wu Liang’s expression hardens, “What’s going on?”
Tang Qianya, nervous, adds, “Everything was fine earlier, wasn’t it?”
Jiangnan’s acting strange today!
“No time to explain!”
“Just remember what I said! Protect yourselves! Don’t sleep tonight! Don’t drive, too big a target!”
Wu Liang wants to say more, but seeing Jiangnan’s look, he swallows his words!
He nods heavily, “Got it, South Bro!”
That night, none of the three sleep, eyes wide open!
Jiangnan’s puzzled!
The Spirit Ruin entrance is so tightly guarded, how did White Shark’s people get in?
Then he realises, if they’ve infiltrated the stationed troops!
Getting people in would be easy!
“They really chose to make a move in Tianchi Spirit Ruin? White Shark’s got some guts! Wonder if that blonde bombshell showed up?”
“Sister Mountain Cat! Don’t let me down at the critical moment!”
…
Outside the safe zone, under the crooked tree!
The bushes rustle twice!
It’s a camouflage tarp covered in leaves.
Underneath, two people are hiding, a man and a woman!
It’s An Ning and Chen Chen from the Dark Night Army!
Their eyes are fixed on the discarded skewers.
An Ning whispers, “What’s going on? Did Jiangnan spot us?”
Chen Chen replies, “Shouldn’t have… right?”
“He definitely did. Why else would he come all the way out here, so far from the safe zone entrance, to ditch them?”
An Ning slowly reaches out, pulling over the plastic bag of skewers!
Inside, there’s a small note!
“Soldier ID 009527! White Shark’s guy!”
The two exchange a glance!
Eyes full of shock!
What the hell?
How did Jiangnan know the Dark Night Army was tailing him?
And pinpoint their exact hiding spot!
How did he know there’s a spy?
And even figure out exactly who it is?
He used such a covert method to pass the message.
To avoid alerting White Shark’s people?
An Ning pulls out a military laptop, starts searching!
This 009527 is indeed a big problem!
An Ning hisses, “Damn it! How did he get in? He’s stationed right here? And we didn’t notice?”
Chen Chen asks, “Should we take him out?”
“Notify Captain Mountain Cat first! I knew it was too quiet these past few days. White Shark’s people must’ve already made their move!”
Just after they report, Ivanov comes stumbling out, clutching his stomach, forehead drenched in cold sweat!
Cursing as he walks!
“Bloody hell! Were those skewers undercooked? Poisoned or what?”
He only ate one!
Now, on duty, his stomach’s killing him!
Farting non-stop!
He’s wondering if he’s sprung a leak!
The soldiers nearby are rolling their eyes from the stench.
Did he stuff a string of firecrackers in his trousers or what?
Farting like rapid-fire?
Ivanov’s scouting for a spot!
But a tidal wave of pressure hits, his sphincter under immense strain!
His face turns green, terrified of letting something slip!
Looking around, no time to pick! That crooked tree will do!
He rushes over, unbuckles his belt, ready to let loose!
But under the camouflage tarp!
Two pairs of horrified eyes stare at a bum inches away!
An Ning and Chen Chen are losing it!
Bloody hell!
You really know how to pick a spot!
They were planning to keep him alive…
But if they don’t act now?
They’re done for!
Meanwhile!
Jiangnan’s resentment points list is going wild!
[Resentment points from Ivanov Harivith +1000!]
Oh? He’s really feeling it now?
Jiangnan smirks!
He sprinkled ten detox soybeans on those skewers!
[Resentment points from An Ning +1000!]
[Resentment points from An Ning…]
[Resentment points from Chen Chen +1000!]
[Resentment points from Chen Chen…]
Jiangnan: ???
