# Chapter 1322: Human Camera! (Bonus Chapter)

Bei Qiu said: "Alright! My condition... Huh? What? What did you say?"
She suddenly widened her eyes. Not negotiating anymore?
Are you messing with me?
I showed you the treasure, and now you say you don't want to play?
(◞ಠkouಠ) "Why aren't we negotiating? I already showed you, didn't I? The thing is fine!"

Jiang Nan grinned: (๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "I mean, this Ancient Su relic has already lost its value to me, so there's no need to negotiate!"

Bei Qiu's forehead veins bulged, then she snorted with a laugh.
(◞‾́~‾́) "No value? You think I'm easy to fool? The expression on your face just now already gave you away!"
"This Ancient Su relic is exactly what you want!"
"Saying that is just trying to drive down the price with me, right? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten grains of rice!"
Fool me? No way!

Jiang Nan's face was serious.
(๑•̀‸•́) "Then you must have a heavy mouth? Better check yourself for cerebral thrombosis, coronary heart disease, or something."
"You're old; you might just kick the bucket any day."

Bei Qiu's nostrils flared with smoke as she slammed the table and stood up.
"You..."

Jiang Nan raised his hand, shooting out Spiritual Silk. The thin threads danced in the air, intertwining and outlining.
"When I said it has no value, I meant I've memorized all the curse inscriptions on it, so the Ancient Su relic is useless to me now."

In the void, the Spiritual Silk connected, forming hundreds of thousands of densely packed curse inscriptions in the air.
Whether it was the arrangement or the stroke size of each inscription, they were exactly the same.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded, staring at Jiang Nan in shock.
Σ(°△°(꒪kou꒪‧̣̥̇)

Bei Qiu's brain buzzed as she looked at the incomplete curse formation in the air, her scalp tingling.
He memorized it?
What the hell? Are you a human camera?
Seven or eight hundred thousand curse inscriptions, just a glance at the safe box, less than half a second!
It would be impressive for a normal person to remember two or three!
Even if someone held it for you to memorize, it would take two or three years to learn them all!
And you might not even remember them all!
Not only did Jiang Nan remember them all in half a second, but he also reproduced them perfectly with Spiritual Silk?
Is this even human?

Even Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao stared blankly at Jiang Nan.
This was beyond the scope of memory, wasn't it?

Wu Liang swallowed his saliva.
(‧̣̥̇꒪wa꒪) "Brother Nan, is your brain a quantum computer?"

Luo Jiaoyang beside him covered his face, knowing the kid was gifted with a sharp mind and a spiritual body that learned everything at once, but he still underestimated Jiang Nan's freakishness!

Jiang Nan chuckled happily.
At that moment, Jiang Nan had directly activated Soul Imprinting.
He spent ten million skill points for thirty seconds of time!
He could even imprint the hundreds of millions of curse inscriptions from the God-Slaying Spell Array, let alone this fragment slab with just over a hundred thousand inscriptions!
Half a second? More than enough!
Why pay any money? Not a single cent!
Even the ten million skill points came from the ten billion he had just swindled from Bei Qiu!
Spending Bei family money to take Bei family treasures and getting something for nothing—wasn't that the most basic operation?

Bei Qiu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
Just by letting Jiang Nan get a glimpse, the trump card she held was gone?
I just %?…;#*'☆℃!!!
No wonder he didn't bargain—Jiang Nan never intended to trade with her!
He just wanted to see it and then memorize it!
She got nothing in exchange and lost ten billion, and the Bei family was at risk of being map-edited!
Was there anyone more screwed than her?
(ꐦథyiథꐦ) "Get lost! Just get the hell out of here! I never want to see you again in this life! Get out!"

Tricks, tricks, all tricks!
Bei Qiu felt completely played!

[From Bei Qiu: Resentment Value +1000]

Even Xiang Zhi, who was massaging Jiang Nan's shoulders, felt her heart sink halfway.
(#ŏ﹏ŏ#)
With such cunning, who could outplay Jiang Nan?
Xiang Zhi suddenly understood why all her assassination attempts had ended in failure.

Jiang Nan grinned: (。՞ꇴ՞) "Don't be like that! We haven't finished negotiating yet. This Ancient Su relic is just a fragment, right?"
"Who did you get it from? Where did it come from? I'm also interested in the other fragments."

Bei Qiu gritted her yellow teeth, grinding them audibly.
"I won't tell you even if I die! Want it? I'll make sure you never get it in this life!"

Jiang Nan chuckled lightly: "I can give you the complete cultivation method for Spiritual Silk, but you must agree to include the content all the way to the top level in the textbooks."
"If you want the Chinese curse inscription explanation content, then share your Northern family curse formation content—mutual exchange."
"As for the God-Slaying Spell Array and the Origin Stone, forget it. Even if I gave them to you, you couldn't keep them."
"Everything you want, I can give. But you must do as I say. Tell me all the information about this Ancient Su relic."

Bei Qiu stared fiercely at Jiang Nan, the atmosphere in the room dropping to freezing point.
"Don't even think about it! Without the complete Spiritual Silk cultivation, my Northern family's spiritual pattern curse formation can still be used. The curse formation is the real treasure!"

Jiang Nan said flatly: "Sticking to old ways, living off your ancestors' legacy, and refusing to innovate will eventually get you abandoned by the times."
"The world is changing unpredictably, and the future is uncertain. Going abroad? Hmph, can going abroad protect your Northern family?"
"They can barely protect themselves! After they strip you clean, you'll just be cannon fodder they can discard at will."
"The opportunity to get on board is right in front of you. Cooperation benefits both sides; separation only hurts you. The choice is yours."

After these words, a hint of hesitation appeared in Bei Qiu's eyes. But there was no denying that China's strength now was formidable.
The Western Frontier incident alone proved that.
But once on board, it meant taking on greater risks...

Jiang Nan walked out with his hands behind his back.
(๑°᷄ٹ°᷅) "I'll give you a few days to think it over. My patience is limited."
"Even if you don't tell me what I want to know, I have ways to make you spill it. Don't end up losing face."
"By then, I won't leave any face for your Northern family."
"By the way, where am I staying? Your house is so empty? I'll just pick a room, then."

With that, he went off to rest, leaving Bei Qiu slumped in her chair, deep in thought.

Meanwhile, Bei Linfei rushed over anxiously.
(‧̣̥̇・᷄ㅂ・᷅) "How about we stay outside? I've booked a presidential suite for over fifty thousand a night!"
"You could stay there for a month if you want!"

Jiang Nan ignored him completely: (︶.̮︶๑) "No, your place is fine."

Bei Linfei was sweating.
(‧̣̥̇థㅂథ) "Come on! I can arrange a full package service for you, whatever you want!"
"Just go! I'm begging you, don't stay at my place!"

Jiang Nan's eyes lit up.
(ง⚝꒨⚝)ง "Oh? You can find a dragon to serve me? I'd really like to see that mythical creature!"

Bei Linfei: ???
Are we talking about the same kind of dragon?

Jiang Nan was about to ask for details when he felt two pairs of crimson eyes boring into him from behind.
(๑͡'~͡')(๑͡ᵔ~͡ᵔ)

[From Xia Yao: Resentment Value +777]
[From Zhong Yingxue...]

He stiffened and put on a serious face.
(⑉་⍸་⑉) "Dragon? What dragon? I've seen all kinds of dragons! Get lost! Don't bother me while I sleep!"

With that, he pushed Bei Linfei aside and headed straight for the most luxurious main villa.

Bei Linfei tugged at his hair anxiously: "Hey! Think it over! Even if it's a real dragon, I can get one to serve you!"

But Jiang Nan was unmoved.

He found a random room, took off his shirt, and stretched lazily.
"Better soak in some Power first... Hiss—"

Turning around, he saw Mila and Lan following right behind him.
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao had also come in. Not only them, but Wu Liang, Xiong Er, Chen Daoyi, Luo Jiaoyang—all of them had entered the room.
The room was packed with people, even Xiang Zhi had been dragged in.

Xia Yao was now inspecting the room frantically.

Jiang Nan covered his chest in panic.
(づŏ﹏ŏど) "You... what are you all doing?"

Zhong Yingxue said seriously: (๑•̀◠•́)و "Of course, we're protecting your safety! You're now an assassination target for the Celestial Group. You could be attacked at any time."

Xia Yao nodded in agreement: (。・᷄◠・᷅) "Exactly! Better safe than sorry. Let me, the Big Wolf Girl, guard your safety!"

Wu Liang patted his chest: "Brother Nan, sleep easy. I'll keep watch. Even a paramecium won't get past me!"

Jiang Nan: (⌯꒪꒫꒪) ???
A paramecium? That's going too far! Are the two holes beneath your eyebrows microscopes?

"Get out! All of you go to your rooms and sleep. I've done every evil deed, lost all conscience, and I'm more alert than any of you!"
"Do you really think I'm that easy to assassinate? If all of you are guarding me, how can I sleep?"

With everyone watching, I can't carry out my immature plan at all!

Luo Jiaoyang said with concern: "At least let Lao Chen and me hide under your bed. We can catch them off guard..."

Jiang Nan's face darkened as he pushed everyone out of the room.
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Go to sleep! It's just a Celestial Group. You think they can scare me?"

Seeing Jiang Nan's firm refusal, everyone had no choice but to go back to their rooms.
Xiao Jiuwo was left to guard Xiang Zhi, locked in a corner of the room.

Jiang Nan coughed lightly and glanced at Xiang Zhi in the corner.
(O՞~՞) "Behave, or I'll kill you, got it?"

Xiang Zhi looked miserable and could only nod in grievance, her stomach growling with hunger.
(#꒦ິ﹏꒦ີ)

Then Jiang Nan pulled out a few buckets of Power 2.0 and poured them gurgling into the bathtub.
While pouring, he muttered casually:
"Nothing beats soaking in Power before bed, right? Mila, Lan Lan, time for a bath!"

Mila jumped excitedly off the bed, cheering, and threw her clothes everywhere.
٩(๐˃̶ꇴ˂̶)۶

Lan pouted—she didn't really like baths.
(。ᵒ̴̶̷₃ᵒ̴̶̷)

Xiang Zhi in the corner looked at the bathtub full of Power potion, touched her own crew cut, and ground her teeth again.
It brought back painful memories of her last assassination attempt on Jiang Nan, when he shoved her face into the tub.

Just then, Xiang Zhi was stunned.
Wait... Power?
She looked down at the bundles of Spirit-Binding Steel chains on her body and swallowed her saliva.
Then she shook her head frantically.
No, no!
If I get caught, he'll kill me!

Jiang Nan shot a meaningful glance at Xiang Zhi from the corner of his eye.
(zhe yi zhe‧̣̥̇) Tsk~
