Xia Yao and everyone else stared blankly at Jiang Nan who had just teleported away.
What was he doing?
The Mohawk guy, now held by Jiang Nan, glared and was about to strike.
The next instant, his body froze, void chains wrapping around him, his face filled with terror.
Then Jiang Nan said something inaudible, pulled out a leek, and fed it to him.
The guy’s eyes lit up brightly, and he let out a cry of amazement.
Jiang Nan handed him a whole bundle of leeks. The Mohawk, thrilled, quickly detached his mechanical arm and shoved it into Jiang Nan’s arms.
Jiang Nan then patted another bundle into the guy’s hands.
Mele Gobo hesitated for a moment, then unclipped his mechanical eye and gave it to Jiang Nan.
Holding two bundles of leeks, he ran joyfully into a corner shop with red lights glowing, the sign reading “Red Romance”.
Jiang Nan teleported back, eyes shining with excitement as he held the mechanical arm and eye.
“Wolf Extinction, Xue Xue, look at these! Cool, right?”
Zhong Yinxue: (⇀‸↼‶)
Xia Yao: (•́﹏•̀٥)
Is this really okay?
You traded two bundles of leeks for someone’s arm and eye?
Quite a few of the boys crowded over, forming a circle and letting out occasional gasps of admiration.
No man can resist mecha, just as no woman can resist whitening products.
Qi Yu: “Hey? What’s this switch for?”
There was a switch on the wrist of the mechanical arm marked with an aeroplane symbol.
Jiang Nan’s eyes lit up. “Could it be jet flight mode?”
He flipped the switch.
The next moment, the mechanical palm clenched automatically.
Then the forearm began vibrating wildly.
So fast it produced afterimages.
Jiang Nan’s expression froze. The scene became extremely awkward.
Qin Shou: (΄◞ิ.̫.̫◟ิ‵)
Qi Yu: (΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)
“Big thumbs up to the designer of this mechanical arm!”
Jiang Nan looked disgusted, turned, and hurled the arm straight into the sea.
“Ugh, what rubbish! Ptui!”
Little Mira: (๐·•᷄～•᷅)?
“Big brother Jiang Nan? Didn’t it have jet flight mode? Why throw it away? Mira wanted to see!”
Jiang Nan’s face stiffened. He scooped Mira up in a hug. “We’re not watching that. Next time, big brother will get you a proper mecha!”
“Ahem, anyway, where’s big brother Ling Feng? Wasn’t he supposed to meet us?”
Xiao Zhen frowned too. “He should have been here ages ago!”
At that moment, Xia Yao’s wolf ears twitched. “Xiao Nan, there seems to be a fight over there!”
Jiang Nan looked in that direction. A crowd had gathered near a corner shop, and it looked lively.
“Come on! Let’s check it out!”
Pushing through the crowd, they saw a man and a woman locked in a tense standoff.
The man had East Asian features, handsome and sharp, wearing combat gear, short black hair neat and practical.
His face was well-proportioned, his gaze icy cold. One arm was mechanical.
On his back was a Barrett heavy sniper rifle, a rifle slung at his side, two pistols at his waist, and magazines covering his chest.
His level was peak Diamond.
The other person wore a maid outfit.
Long brown hair was tied into twin ponytails draped over her chest.
She wore round-framed glasses, her pretty face utterly cold.
On her back was a massive bound-spirit steel greatsword that nearly touched the ground.
Her level was also peak Diamond.
At this moment, the steel-sword maid gripped the man’s mechanical wrist and would not let go.
The handsome man narrowed his eyes. “Let go! I bought them first!”
The steel-sword maid remained unmoved, expression icy, her grip like iron. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free.
Behind the maid stood a young man with water-blue long hair.
Extremely handsome, enough to outshine any celebrity idol. His level was Platinum III.
On his chest was the emblem of Landis Academy.
“Let’s negotiate. How much did you pay? I’ll double it!”
The handsome man sneered. “Is this how you negotiate? Not selling! Let go!”
The blue-haired man laughed coldly. “Roberta! Don’t let go. Let’s see what he does.”
The steel-sword maid nodded. “Yes! Saint Son Adams!”
In the crowd stood a petite, delicate girl.
Long deep-blue hair fell loosely over her shoulders. She wore nun-like robes, also bearing the Landis Academy emblem.
Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, her water-blue eyes seeming to hold the ocean.
A lovely sapphire pendant adorned her forehead. Her pretty face was filled with anxiety.
“Roberta, let go quickly. He did buy them first. What we’re doing is wrong!”
Adams narrowed his eyes. “Heidi! Shut up. This is none of your business!”
“I must have these magical beans today!”
The handsome man’s patience was gone. His hand was already on the pistol at his waist.
“I’ll give you one last chance! Let go!”
Roberta’s other hand gripped the hilt of her steel sword!
At that moment, Jiang Nan strode into the centre with a wide smile.
The handsome man was none other than Pioneer Ling Feng!
The reason he had not met them at the dock was clearly because of this delay.
The onlookers were stunned when Jiang Nan stepped forward. Where had this extremely handsome young man come from?
The instant Jiang Nan appeared, Adams’s looks instantly became irrelevant.
Almost everyone’s attention was drawn to Jiang Nan.
The same question arose in everyone’s mind.
How could a person be this handsome?
Jiang Nan stood with hands in pockets, utterly relaxed. “Let go! You’re hurting my brother Feng’s girlfriend!”
Ling Feng: ???
Seeing Jiang Nan arrive, Ling Feng was startled but inwardly delighted. They were here already?
But hurting my girlfriend?
What girlfriend?
Jiang Nan gave a meaningful glance and raised an eyebrow at the aeroplane button on Ling Feng’s mechanical arm.
(๐՞ʖ̫՞)
Ling Feng: (||▀ʖ̯▀)
[Resentment from Ling Feng +518!]
[From Ling Feng…]
Qi Yu, Ye Xinghe, and the others were desperately holding back laughter.
No! Must not laugh!
Ling Feng was a Pioneer senior. Didn’t he want face?
The instant Roberta saw Jiang Nan, her pupils contracted. She slowly released Ling Feng’s hand.
Adams’s eyes reddened with rage. He said icily, “Am I your master, or is he? Did I tell you to let go?”
Roberta’s expression did not change. She stepped aside.
“My primary mission this trip is to protect the safety of the Saint Son and Saint Daughter!”
Adams pointed at Jiang Nan’s nose in fury. “What do you mean? Are you saying this trash Gold rank can threaten my safety?”
Roberta lowered her head. “He is Jiang Nan, leader of the Dandelion organisation. Magical beans in Eternal Night City are sold only by Dandelion!”
Adams roared, “I don’t care who he is! Answer my question!”
Heidi suddenly jumped out from the crowd, shielding Roberta, tears in her big eyes. “Why are you shouting at Roberta!”
Adams opened his mouth to speak again, but at that moment, every hair on his body stood on end!
Jiang Nan, who had been ten metres away, was now right in front of him!
Jiang Nan grabbed Adams’s pointing finger and twisted it hard in the opposite direction.
“Crack!”
[Resentment from Adams +1000!]
The piercing pain in his finger drove him into hysteria.
Jiang Nan smiled. “Didn’t your mother teach you not to point at people when you speak?”
Adams raged, leaping backwards.
“Spirit skill: Sword Rain!”
In an instant, countless crystalline water droplets condensed in the air, turning into swords that shot towards Jiang Nan at extreme speed!
Jiang Nan laughed mockingly, raised a hand, and opened a spatial wormhole!
All dozens of sword rain attacks aimed at Jiang Nan were redirected!
They shot out from Adams’s side! He had no time to dodge!
Adams’s pupils contracted!
But at that moment, Roberta, who had been silent, suddenly flashed with cold killing intent in her eyes!
She drew her bound-spirit steel greatsword and exploded off the ground!
“Boom!”
The ground shattered into a crater. Her body vanished, reappearing instantly at Adams’s side!
She blocked more than a dozen water swords with the flat of her blade, producing clear “clang clang” sounds!
Her wolf-like eyes locked deadly on Jiang Nan!
“Boom!”
Another explosive sound. She charged like a cannonball towards Jiang Nan!
Raising the steel sword high, she slashed viciously at Jiang Nan’s neck!
No hesitation in her gaze!
Her speed even exceeded Jiang Nan’s reaction time!
Yet at that instant, Ling Feng leaned forward. “Kinetic boost!”
His body vanished too!
He raised his mechanical arm to shield Jiang Nan!
“Clang!”
A deafening clash rang out, hurting everyone’s eardrums. The gust of wind forced people back several steps!
Ling Feng had blocked Roberta’s steel sword with his mechanical arm. The immense downward force even cracked the ground beneath him!
Everything happened so fast it was dizzying.
Jiang Nan grinned. “What a fierce maid. But if I want to kill your little dog-boy, you can’t stop me!”
Roberta stared coldly at Jiang Nan, slowly withdrawing her greatsword, eyes filled with wariness.
[Resentment from Adams +1000!]
His face twisted ferociously. The broken finger turned to water and healed in an instant!
“So what if you’re spatial? Want to duel?”
Jiang Nan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
“Huh? Yeah, it’s exactly that great! Not happy?”
“Brothers, this dog-boy wants a one-on-one with me!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhong Yinxue, Wu Liang, Xiao Zhen, and the others stepped forward eagerly, lining up beside Jiang Nan!
Spiritual energy surged from them, a dark, oppressive mass!
Adams: (٥´皿`)
[Resentment from Adams +1000!]
You… is this how all of you do one-on-ones?
