Everyone around stared at Jiang Nan as if he were a god. We were all genuinely curious how he had managed to stay alive this long!
By the time they returned to Kyoto, it was already deep into the night. The Kyoto night sky had become extraordinarily bright because of Ye Zhenguo!
With a thunderous scowl, Ye Zhenguo dropped everyone off at the academy, borrowed a green fish-man head mask from Jiang Nan to cover his face, and headed straight back to the Ye family home!
Until the next King of Perverts was crowned, Old Brother Ye would probably not set foot outside his door!
The final lesson complete, Jiang Nan’s teaching assignment was officially over!
He was set to return to Pioneer Academy first thing tomorrow morning!
Yet Jiang Nan did not stay quietly at Kyoto Spiritual University. There were still matters he needed to handle!
…
Kyoto Dandelion Branch Warehouse!
Jiang Nan opened his alternate dimension. The hardworking Dandelions, faces beaming with smiles, frantically hauled treasures outward!
There he was, squatting in a corner by the warehouse gate, secretly wiping tears!
(โ๏นเธเน)
I never should have taken in the Dandelions!
Damn it all!
Otherwise my little fortune would be enough to marry loads of wives right now!
I worked my fingers to the bone out there raiding other people’s homes!
Only for you lot to raid mine the moment I get back…
Is this any way for subordinates to behave?
Being the Dandelion boss feels a bit too much like working as a delivery driver, doesn’t it?
Yao Hong crouched beside Jiang Nan, face full of gentle amusement, softly wiping away his tears!
“Stop crying now~ Good boss, we didn’t take everything. We left the spirit beads alone, and we even saved you 100 gold bricks!”
Jiang Nan pouted. “Hmph! At least you have some conscience!”
100 gold bricks meant 1000kg of gold!
Just wait till I get home and engrave hundredfold weight-increasing runes on every single one!
My little money expansion technique is no empty boast!
Yao Hong continued. “I’ve got a flight tonight to go abroad, heading to Abyss Never-Sleep City. I might be staying there for a while!”
“Domestic matters are temporarily in the hands of Roland and Yu Qiao. If anything comes up, just contact them directly!”
Two diamond-rank girls with delicate, pretty features stood obediently to one side and greeted Jiang Nan respectfully. “Hello, South God Boss!”
Jiang Nan blinked. He recognised them both. They were Dandelion cadres who had taken part in the operation to wipe out Dracula!
“Tonight? What’s happened over there? Why the rush?”
Yao Hong’s brows knitted tightly. “Got word last night. The Abyss has been acting strange for a while now!”
“Especially yesterday. There was a spiritual explosion incident, possibly a new entrance appearing!”
“If the news is true, Never-Sleep City is about to descend into chaos. It’s a real mix of all sorts there, every level different!”
“And we’ve run into a spot of trouble on our side in Never-Sleep City. I’d better get over there soon to sort it out!”
Jiang Nan scratched his head. “Trouble? Want me to go and settle it for you?”
I’ve sunk 20 billion into that project!
Anyone causing problems there is basically asking to die!
Yao Hong shivered violently at the memory of Marsha Island being flattened. “No… I’ll handle it myself, thanks!”
“Besides, it’s not easy for you to leave the country. I’ll keep looking for spirit beads for you. I’ll contact you if anything comes up!”
Jiang Nan nodded. He was already at golden peak!
Breaking through to platinum was only a matter of time. They had been searching constantly, yet still no sign of a space-type spirit bead!
If all else failed, he would have to venture into the Void Sea to hunt space-type spiritual beasts!
But no one understood the terrifying power of space-type better than Jiang Nan himself!
The Void Sea, a golden-rank spiritual ruin, had been sealed for years with no one tending it. Who knew how monstrous the beasts inside had become!
One careless step, and he could lose his life there!
If there were any other option, Jiang Nan did not want to risk the Void Sea!
He could only hope Yao Hong would find something!
After leaving Dandelion, Jiang Nan gazed at his alternate dimension and felt a hollow ache in his chest!
Most of the Crimson Flame Iron and Water Xiu Jade had been handed to Yao Hong to sell. He had kept only two truck-sized chunks!
He planned to carve a bathtub or something when he got home, see if he could fashion a mandarin duck hotpot!
And then…
Hehe~ ู(ยบ๏นยบูฉ)
Walking along the street, Jiang Nan suddenly remembered something. He rang Wang Gang and arranged to meet in the park!
The night was deep as water, street lamps casting a dim yellow glow!
On a park swing, Jiang Nan swayed gently~
Soon enough, Wang Gang came jogging up!
Dressed in sportswear, drenched in sweat, legs, arms, and waist all bound with lead weights!
He even carried a backpack stuffed full of lead blocks!
The moment he reached the park, white steam puffed from his nostrils, his face brimming with excitement!
Jiang Nan shrank back weakly. “Still… still training, then?”
You really don’t waste a single moment!
Did you run all the way here from your neighbourhood with full weights? Do you have to be that intense?
Wang Gang: แฆ(เฒ ใ เฒ )แค Aha!
“I saw it on Weibo! Haha, South God is incredible! Those scum got exactly what they deserved. Beautifully done, truly satisfying!”
“So, what’s up? Why call me out so late, South God?”
Jiang Nan looked at Wang Gang, face full of approval, grinning broadly!
“Do you want to become stronger?”
Wang Gang froze for a moment, then wiped his nose with a wry smile. “Living in this era, what man doesn’t want to become stronger?”
“Unfortunately I never awakened an ability. I joined the army back then to serve the country, but I couldn’t get into Longyuan either!”
“I served eight years. Then my mother fell critically ill and needed care, so I retired!”
“In this world, there are always things beyond our control. We can only accept them!”
His expression darkened as he spoke!
Jiang Nan smiled. “But you never gave up, did you?”
Wang Gang flashed a wide grin. “Of course not! Becoming stronger isn’t limited to turning into a spiritual warrior!”
“Even as an ordinary person, I’ll push myself to the absolute limit, transcend every boundary! Muscles are justice!”
If he did not crave strength, why would he train his body day and night?
Why seize every tiny opportunity?
Jiang Nan beamed brightly. “Excellent. Then what if I told you that you could become a spiritual warrior?”
