Chapter 65: Vitality Ginseng?

Jiangnan’s heart raced!
If this Diamond King recovered, both of them would be dead!
Without a second word, he went for it!
A chunk of diamond this big—Jiangnan refused to believe he couldn’t handle it!
If you gave Jiangnan 200 pounds of bricks, he might not be able to carry them!
But 200 pounds of cash? Try it!
He’d lift it and run!
He could even jump!
Let alone this 200-pound diamond?
Jin Gang watched Jiangnan’s eyes gleam with a thief’s light and couldn’t help swallowing his saliva!
A twinge of panic!
It should...
Should be fine, right?
Jiangnan pulled out his three-edged military spike!
And thrust it violently at Jin Gang’s neck!
Sparks flew!
The impact numbed Jiangnan’s arm! Even the blade shattered!
“Damn, that’s tough!”
Jin Gang gloated: “See what you can do now?”
Jiangnan was furious!
Damn it!
I can’t get anything else!
But can’t I even get the cash?
His eyes darted around craftily!
Then he picked up the spike and slashed fiercely at Jin Gang’s lips!
“Open your mouth!”
Jin Gang clenched his teeth, refusing to part them!
Jiangnan: “Fine! Just you wait!”
With that, he picked up two pebbles and shoved them right up Jin Gang’s diamond nostrils!
A sinister laugh!
Won’t open your mouth? You still have to breathe, don’t you?
[Resentment +1000 from Makhlov. Sergey!]
Blocking my nostrils?
Playing dirty with me!
What the hell!!!
After holding his breath for over three minutes, Jin Gang couldn’t take it anymore and gasped for air!
Jiangnan seized the chance to stuff a handful of Detoxifying Soybeans mixed with Spirit Chives into his mouth!
Jin Gang’s eyes bulged as if they’d pop out! But to breathe, he had to swallow them down!
Damn it!
What the hell did you feed me?
Jiangnan cackled wickedly!
What? You’ll find out soon enough!
Soon, Jin Gang started reacting—and not just a little!
His body writhed uneasily!
But the problem was, he didn’t dare move!
He was going insane from holding it in!
Taking advantage, Jiangnan inserted his three-edged spike into the cracks and frantically pried off diamond chunks!
The effect was remarkable!
Jin Gang was furious!
If this kept up, the kid would dismantle him sooner or later!
He could no longer hold back and roared: “I’ll kill you!”
Jin Gang suddenly stood up, his diamond arms slamming down at Jiangnan!
Jiangnan was quick! He caught them!
The two wrestled for control! Diamond fragments kept falling off Jin Gang!
Jiangnan’s face was flushed red from strain!
But the immense force from Jin Gang’s arms left him powerless!
The gap was too big!
So he teleported behind Jin Gang!
Grabbed his head, pressed it down hard, locked his arms tight, and lifted!
A textbook naked choke!
Jin Gang was suffocating! He pounded his fists wildly against Jiangnan’s back!
A dull thud like a drum!
Jiangnan felt as if a rammer were hammering him over and over!
His ribs were definitely broken!
A mouthful of sweet, bloody saliva surged into his throat, and he swallowed it back!
Jiangnan’s eyes were filled with ruthlessness!
“Damn it! Let’s see who dies first—you or me!”
Mountain Cat weakly said, “Run! Forget about him, and forget about me!”
“Don’t throw yourself away here!”
Jiangnan gritted his teeth: “Give up such a huge diamond? How is that possible?”
Mountain Cat was frantic!
At a time like this, Jiangnan was still joking!
“Didn’t you just promise me? If I die, you run! You said so!”
Jiangnan spat out a mouthful of blood foam and grinned brightly!
“A man’s mouth is a liar!”
“Little kitty, you’re still too naive!”
With that, he took another heavy blow that made him cough up blood, but he still wouldn’t let go!
Was he kidding?
Just run away like that? Was he even a man?
Mountain Cat had ended up like this because of him!
Some things, Jiangnan didn’t want to regret!
A surge of emotion washed over Mountain Cat!
She bit her lower lip hard, unable to say a word.
Jiangnan loved to joke and was slick-tongued!
But when it counted, he never failed!
In the end, he simply didn’t want to abandon her and flee!
Mountain Cat knew—she hadn’t misjudged him after all!
Jiangnan’s eyes were wide open, teeth clenched!
He was dead set on it!
If I can’t kill you today, I’ll live-stream myself eating shit!
The flag was raised!
And then, Jiangnan felt his heart pounding!
Blood rushed faster, body temperature skyrocketed!
It felt like lava, not blood, flowing through his veins!
The heat even evaporated the moisture inside him, seeping out through his pores!
His skin took on an eerie crimson hue!
Veins bulged!
Wave after wave of surging power flooded in!
Jiangnan’s senses sharpened—his five senses and physical abilities all soared!
Mountain Cat’s eyes went wide!
Blood Incineration!
The Blood Incineration reagent was working!
“Hand it over!”
With a crack!
Jiangnan snapped off Jin Gang’s diamond head!
Jin Gang’s body collapsed to the ground!
Jiangnan panted heavily, staring at the giant diamond head in his hands!
“Tsk tsk tsk! A diamond this big—how much is it worth?”
Mountain Cat: ...
She didn’t even know where to start complaining!
No time to dwell on that!
Jiangnan quickly checked Mountain Cat’s injuries, but what he saw left him silent!
Blood had pooled into a small puddle on the ground!
Her face was frighteningly pale!
“Don’t bother saving me! In the middle of nowhere, I won’t make it!”
“Go! With your abilities, you can get out of this Ling Xu!”
Jiangnan crouched down.
“Nonsense!”
“In the movies, people worse off than you are still bouncing around!”
“What’s this?”
Mountain Cat forced a bitter smile: “Can’t you be serious for once?”
Jiangnan shook his head!
After all this struggle to reach the end, how could he watch her die?
Looking at the resentment value he’d saved up—nearly two million—he silently called out to the system!
System!
Don’t screw me over this time!
Just be reliable for once, okay?
[Everyone step aside! I’m about to show off!]
Seeing the message suddenly appear in his mind, Jiangnan was stunned!
Holy crap!
I have no words!
Well then, let the show begin!
[10-Pull Draw Start!]
[Thanks for playing!] Consolation Prize: One pair of Hulk Brand Shorts!
...
Jiangnan thought it would pull off some amazing rainbow move!
But it was still just “Thanks for playing”!
Watching his total resentment value drop by 100,000 each time, Jiangnan’s face turned blacker than a coal miner’s!
After nineteen 10-pulls!
He got five Stunning Beauty Pills, and the rest were all Hulk Brand Shorts!
Jiangnan was about to lose it!
Then, on the twentieth pull, something new finally appeared!
[Thanks for playing!] Consolation Prize: One Vitality Ginseng!
...
Jiangnan opened the item info!
Vitality Ginseng!
Effect: Restores the consumer to a healthy state! Cures all ailments! Replenishes blood and energy! Extremely potent!
Jiangnan was skeptical!
It sounded impressive! Seemed reliable!
But every time the system showed such serious info, it turned out to be a huge trap!
Plus, with the Vitality Ginseng being a consolation prize, Jiangnan couldn’t help feeling uneasy!
But Mountain Cat was about to die—there was no time for second thoughts!
So he took out the Vitality Ginseng!
Jiangnan was dumbfounded!
The ginseng was no bigger than a thumb!
So tiny!
Dried up, shriveled, and pathetic!
Looks severely malnourished!
Weak as hell!
Damn it!
This sorry thing cures all ailments? Replenishes blood and energy? Extremely potent?
Who the hell would believe that!
