# Chapter 1002: A Collection of Baffling Human Behaviors
Earring Wei was about to lose her mind!
Everything was going fine—she could have just died and that would have been the end of it, all troubles gone!
But now? Jiangnan had swept them all up in one net and taken them all in?
Why did you have to sacrifice yourself for nothing!
Any trace of emotional stirring in her heart was instantly obliterated, and now she hated him even more!
Corgi had really screwed her over with this move!
The plant-men were cursing up a storm too—they had been escaping just fine!
And then Corgi's self-sacrifice dragged them all back?
Not a single one got away—they were all wiped out!
Vivian's expression turned ruthless. Without another word, she directly pulled out a cleaver from a nearby plant-man!
Without hesitation, she swung it toward her own neck!
Jiangnan: !!!
"Don't let her die!"
As he spoke, his body returned to normal size as he teleported in front of Vivian!
The paralysis ring was already on his middle finger as he raised his hand and jabbed it into Vivian's lower back!
The blade that had been cutting into her neck suddenly stopped. Her entire body went numb, stiff, and immobile!
Mountain Cat charged in like a fierce tiger, grabbing Vivian's head and slamming her to the ground!
She pulled out a spirit-binding iron chain and tightly bound her!
Then she fired spirit-binding bullets into all four of her limbs, finally subduing Earring Wei!
Vivian was pressed firmly to the ground, a look of disgust on her face.
|(｡)･᷅益･᷄) "Tch—how annoying!"
She had fallen into Jiangnan's hands after all. Vivian could already imagine the brutal interrogation she was about to endure!
Clearly, Jiangnan wouldn't give her another chance to kill herself anymore!
The plant-men were captured too, awaiting torture and research!
With the crisis over, Guan Tai felt a surge of excitement!
He never imagined that such a seemingly hopeless dead end could be so effortlessly resolved by Jiangnan's wild, unorthodox methods!
It was a complete victory!
Watching Vivian and her people being taken away, Jiangnan let out a sigh of relief.
"That fire-type Vivian is probably a clone too. We might be able to get some key information out of her!"
"Brother Tai, to be safe, keep her isolated and absolutely don't let her die!"
Guan Tai nodded heavily: "Don't worry. I'll guard her myself!"
Vivian's face turned even darker.
...
At this moment, Corgi stood dumbfounded in the same spot, cold rain pattering messily against his face.
☁︎‧̣̥̇☁︎‧̣̥̇☁︎‧̣̥̇
(‧̣̥̇థ‧̣̥̇﹏‧̣̥̇థ‧̣̥̇)
He had licked his way to the end only to end up with nothing—his brother and his beloved were both taken away by that scumbag?
He had barely mustered the courage to sacrifice himself!
He thought he'd gamble it all, use his life to lick, to move Sister Wei's heart!
Even if he got hooked up, he could still escape using the dog's head survival trick!
As long as he could escape alive this time, it would be a huge win!
Wouldn't his status in Sister Wei's heart shoot up like a rocket?
But who could have guessed...
He had sacrificed for absolutely nothing!
"That bastard Jiangnan is inhuman! He ran off with my brother and my beloved!"
"I'm going to kill him!"
Just as Corgi was about to charge at the floating island, the mother vine's roots, glowing with an eerie red light, suddenly burst through the ground!
They viciously lashed at Corgi!
He spat blood from the hit, then was relentlessly whipped again, beaten half to death!
Then the roots coiled around his body and pulled him back underground, vanishing without a trace!
...
Inside Blood Bank #4, the mother vine's roots retracted sharply, throwing Corgi to the ground!
Covered in dirt, Corgi struggled to his feet, feeling a bit dazed!
He looked up and saw Vivian standing before him—wearing a white shirt on top, suit pants on the bottom, her light red hair tied into a short ponytail!
Her level was around Diamond Nine!
Corgi's eyes lit up with tears: "Sister Wei! You..."
Before he could finish, Ponytail Wei's anger surged!
A green wooden spiked club materialized in her palm as she started brutally beating Corgi!
"Let you sacrifice! Why did you go and sacrifice for no reason? Earring Wei got captured!"
"It's all your fault! I'll beat you to death!"
Corgi curled up, hugging his head, whimpering.
୧(#)༎ຶᴥ༎ຶ(#)୨
Beating is affection, scolding is love!
Sister Wei really does love me!
The grass on his head hadn't even grown yet, but he was probably in for a beating for a while.
Twenty-some minutes later, Ponytail Wei finally stopped. By now, the grass on Corgi's head had grown back.
Ponytail Wei said irritably: "Get lost already. You annoy me just looking at you!"
Corgi tentatively asked: "And the captured clone..."
Ponytail Wei's face darkened: "That's none of my concern. Scram!"
Corgi quickly got up and ran for the exit!
Ponytail Wei raised an eyebrow: "Wait!"
Corgi stopped immediately: "Sister Wei, did you not beat me enough? We can go a few more rounds!"
"But I suggest you rest for five minutes before hitting me again, so you won't get tired."
"Hit my butt—it's got more meat. It won't hurt your hand as much."
Ponytail Wei rolled her eyes: "Who said I wanted to keep hitting you? You stupid dog. Go get me some breakfast!"
Corgi froze, then a dazzling light shone in his eyes!
Two streams of scalding hot tears flowed down his face!
(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥﹏°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀)
It wasn't a wasted sacrifice after all!
He finally earned the right to bring Sister Wei breakfast?
He said excitedly: "I'm on it!"
...
In a luxuriously decorated room in the Brahma underground city!
Starlight Wei was relaxing in a bathtub, soaking comfortably. Suddenly, her body stiffened as she twitched uncontrollably in the tub!
She choked on some water before quickly sitting up and coughing violently!
She grabbed a glass of red wine beside her and smashed it on the floor!
"What the hell was that? Paralyzing me? Damn it! Did that clone fall into Jiangnan's hands?"
Vivian's face was dark as water!
The clones' memories and even sensations were linked!
Everything each clone experienced and did was completely clear to Starlight Wei!
Earring Wei was about to be interrogated. It seemed she was in for a tough time!
But Starlight Wei let out a cold laugh!
"Good thing I held back. There are things Earring Wei and Ponytail Wei don't know."
What the clones knew was only what she wanted them to know!
When she split off the clones, Starlight Wei didn't give them any information about the Holy Star or certain highly sensitive secrets!
"Go ahead and interrogate. As long as you dare to come, there's a net waiting for you on this side!"
Starlight Wei narrowed her eyes. Although the clone was captured, it effectively placed a pair of eyes inside Base 097!
She could keep track of their movements and arrangements at any time!
We'll see who plays who in the end!
...
Inside the outpost, Jiangnan hadn't even gone to interrogate Vivian yet!
Now that he had the long-awaited hundredfold expansion spell, what was the first thing to do?
The money expansion spell, of course!
Jiangnan pulled out a large gold brick from the alternate dimension!
A gray light flashed on his hand, and the gold brick was suddenly magnified a hundred times!
With a heavy thud, it crashed onto the ground, cracking the training ground pavement!
ዽ-`_/¯¯\_´-Clang clang~
Jiangnan's drool instantly flowed out as he let out exclamations of amazement!
鹅盒盒～ԅ(¥﹃¥ԅ)
A huge pile of gold bricks like this? How much money was that worth?
It could already be considered a gold mountain, right?
The enormous gold brick blinded everyone's eyes!
Even gold bricks could be magnified?
Was he a wealth inflator or something?
Jiangnan was beside himself with joy!
System! Take this gold brick as a stall fee! That should be enough to cover the ten billion dollars!
And if there's any extra, remember to give me the change!
[(≖～≖)…]
[Pfft—spit!]
Jiangnan: ???
What does System darling mean by that? Did she just spit in my mind?
You're turning down a mountain of gold?
Is she this arrogant now?
But before Jiangnan could lose his temper, the gold brick visibly shrank back to its normal size!
But it didn't stop there!
The restored gold brick shrank again—this time by a hundred times!
It became the size of a pinhole, as tiny as a grain of rice!
If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even notice it...
Jiangnan crouched down, eyes wide as he stared at the hundred-times-shrunken gold brick. His eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
-`.´-_(ଵ﹏ଵ」∠)_
He threw his head back and howled!
_(˃̣̣̥᷄⌂˂̣̣̥᷅」∠)_ "Ahhh—my gold brick! How could this happen?"
A sound like a groundhog's scream echoed through the outpost!
Not only did the gold brick not get bigger—it shrank by a hundred times?!
~%?…;#*'☆!
But before Jiangnan could cry, the blood-drinking halberd in his hand also shrank by a hundred times...
Jiangnan stared at the tiny red toothpick in his hand and let out another anguished cry!
What the hell was this?!
The halberd shrank too?
D…damn! Was the half-hour duration up?
Was the side effect of the mouse biscuit beginning to manifest?
Anything that was magnified would shrink by a hundred times from its original size?
Cold sweat immediately poured down Jiangnan's forehead!
What about… what about himself?
At that moment, Jiangnan's hands and feet turned ice-cold. Before he could react—
Xia Yao suddenly grabbed Zhong Yingxue beside her and cradled her in a princess hold!
(｡ิ⚇ิ) "Hehehe—this cabbage is mine now!"
Saying this, amid Zhong Yingxue's screams, she ran toward the dormitory building!
And at this moment, Base 097 descended into complete chaos!
Some people were crowing like roosters, some had bull horns performing inner thigh stabs!
Some lay on the ground arching their backs, some held cannonballs in their mouths!
Peach-grabbing, cabbage-less men hugging each other—everything imaginable was happening!
For a moment, the entire Base 097 was in an uproar, a complete mess!
Over there, more than thirty corpses lay in a row, faces peaceful!
(｡˘◠˘｡)˘◠˘｡)˘◠˘｡)…
Jiangnan's mouth twitched. What kind of scene was this?!
They could straight-up film an episode of *A Collection of Baffling Human Behaviors*!
But just then, Mountain Cat's pupils turned into heart shapes!
Her eyes locked tightly onto Jiangnan as she strode over with large steps!
Her powerful arm wrapped around Jiangnan's slender waist!
(๑ෆٹෆ)(❛ั﹏❛ั∗)!
Then, she brought her mouth to Jiangnan's ear and whispered softly:
"Little cutie—wanna make a baby together? One with nine in a litter!"
Jiangnan: Huh???
