Chapter 1418: Brazenly Defaulting on a Debt?
After a thousand years, seeing the complete Star Ring again, Bai Kou's eyes were filled with excitement!
Xiao Di's last wish, Yu Shen's entrustment, the wills of two ancient Su Era beings. Was it finally about to be realized?
All the prerequisites for Moon Landing had been gathered!
There were two Star Rings; as long as one was sent to the Moon!
The two Star Rings could achieve a connection!
And Jiangnan, taking this opportunity, directly spent ten million skill points to activate Soul Imprinting!
In 30 seconds, he imprinted the small section of curse script at the Star Gate's melting point!
To imprint all the curse scripts that made up the Star Ring, thirty million skill points wouldn't be enough!
Originally, Jiangnan had thought that after getting the hundreds of billions, he'd go to Hanshan Lingxu again!
And imprint the curse script on Yu Shen's remains, plus the curse array on the black stone altar!
After all, it could condense the Tears of Yu Shen, which might come in handy later!
Unfortunately, time was short, since Hanshan Lingxu was in a sealed state!
It could only be entered by breaking through the Blue Ice Wall! And Shen Yu Lingxu was also closed now!
He'd come back another time when he had the chance!
Bai Kou gently caressed the Star Ring, her gaze firm and pure. She turned her head to look at Jiangnan and couldn't help but sigh.
(◞‸◟) "Originally, it was all for the Moon Landing. We should have cooperated on this, overcome the difficulties, and reach Taiyin together!"
"But unfortunately, the entire E Guo isn't something I can decide alone. This matter involves the interests of too many people, the interests of the country!"
"It's impossible to just cooperate and bare our hearts, share resources. If we rashly join forces, it might spark new conflicts, achieving half the result with twice the effort..."
At this moment, Bai Kou's eyes were also full of helplessness. This was humanity, human nature.
Truly both lovable and infuriating!
Jiangnan wasn't surprised, because he had already known that superpowers like E Guo and Hua Xia stood in the world forest!
At this stage, it was impossible for them to form an alliance and bind together!
It wasn't like Yu Guo's alliance with Hua Xia; Yu Guo was weak, and Hua Xia had absolute say!
But if it were Hua Xia and E Guo, that would be completely different!
So Jiangnan never mentioned Moon Landing cooperation to Bai Kou from start to finish; the agreement only stopped at the preparatory stage!
Reality was far more complicated than ideals!
Speaking of this, Bai Kou smiled and said, "Being willing to give me the Star Ring shows that Hua Xia also has its own way to land on the Moon, right?"
"You must have a Star Gate!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Cooperation and all that is too much of a pipe dream, but no matter which side accomplishes this, it's a victory for humanity, isn't it?"
"I wish you a smooth journey ahead, fair winds, and we'll meet on the Moon!"
A beautiful encounter should also have a carefree farewell!
Jiangnan extended his small hand toward Bai Kou!
Bai Kou stared blankly at Jiangnan. The two sides were originally in competition, but these words made Bai Kou see Jiangnan's spirit!
Maybe she really hadn't misjudged him!
Then she reached out and shook Jiangnan's hand firmly!
(*ᵒ̌◡ᵒ̌)۶٩(❛ั◡❛ั∗)
"After this, the road ahead might be very difficult. Don't die. Surpass everyone, stand at the highest point. Even if there's no one in front of you, don't stop!"
"Your stage is not limited to here!"
Jiangnan laughed: (͡°͜ʖ͡°) "I'm already dead. Bye-bye!"
With that, he led the team away carefree, not alarming anyone!
Bai Kou rolled her eyes. With Jiangnan's slyness, trying to kill him seemed quite troublesome!
Then she took the Star Ring and the Tears of Yu Shen directly to the E Guo Deep Space Bureau to prepare for the Moon Landing!
......
In the stratosphere, Xiao Jiuwo spread her wings and flew, taking everyone at a terrifying speed of nearly four times the speed of sound, straight toward Hua Xia's Hai Province!
Katerina was also brought back. Since she hadn't been memory-wiped, Jiangnan wasn't at ease leaving her alone in E Guo!
It was safer to bring her back!
And on Xiao Jiuwo's back, Jiangnan once again checked the system!
Because he suddenly remembered something!
System Bao Bao! I recall you promised before that after I finished paying off the stall fee debt, you'd give me an upgrade card, right?
My resentment value consumption has already exceeded thirty million!
Shouldn't I get the card now?
[(ʃƪớ₃ờ) Bobo~]
[Currently, upgrade cards are seriously out of stock. Can I not give it?]
Jiangnan:!!!
Now they were brazenly defaulting on a debt?
Even Bobo? Flattering won't help either!
Out of stock again? Weren't we agreed before?
Jiangnan ground his teeth!
(งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง No, I want it!
I was thinking of upgrading Little Ginseng or Nuclear Milk or something!
[But there's just none~]
[It is recommended that the host spend fifty million resentment value to obtain a special reward: One Root of Be a Human Herb~]
[(ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷̥́～ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀) Pleeease~]
Jiangnan was stunned. What the heck is Be a Human Herb?
The name sounds kind of weird, doesn't it?
Jiangnan couldn't help but think back to the Fusion Card that had helped him a lot before, which was also obtained by spending fifty million resentment value!
And that Mutant Potion, which gave him Xiao Jiuwo.
Jiangnan became curious!
What is Be a Human Herb?
[Be a Human Herb: Regardless of any biological entity that takes it, they will gain the chance to be a human again! This prize is invalid for humans.]
Jiangnan was taken aback!
If it's invalid for humans, why would I want it? And "be a human again"? I'm already an immortal, so why would I need to be human?
Wait!
Any biological entity? That means other races, like spirit beasts, can become human by eating it?
Jiangnan's eyes suddenly grew fiery, and his gaze sharply fell on Xiong Er!
(˵ಡ‿ಡ˵) "Xiong Er! Do you want to be a human again?"
Xiong Er, who was playing on his phone, shuddered and swallowed!
(٥ิ◕㉨◕ิ) "N... Nan Ge? What did I do to deserve being sent to be a human again?"
"An Qi is already an adult!"
Jiangnan's eye twitched!
(￢_￢) "I'm not asking about that! I mean become human!"
Xiong Er scratched his head: ୧(｡･㉨･｡) "How is that possible? I'm a bear, I have a tumor in my head!"
Jiangnan patted Xiong Er's shoulder and grinned!
(๑͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "I said it can be done! Just wait!"
Now the overall level of the team has improved, and although Xiong Er and Xiao Jiuwo aren't lacking in rank, both being Diamond, they only have three Gifted Spiritual Arts, too few tricks!
Even though they don't want to admit it, in the current battles, Xiong Er and Xiao Jiuwo's strength is gradually falling behind!
And humans have a big advantage over spirit beasts: every time they level up, they can absorb a new Spiritual Art to use!
If Xiao Jiuwo and Xiong Er become humans, can they also absorb Spirit Pearls to gain Spiritual Arts like humans?
The original three Gifted Spiritual Arts become innate, not taking up skill slots?
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed!
And there was Fat Orange! She was a Dao Heaven Beast, and her original three Spiritual Arts were already very overpowered. If she could absorb new ones...
That would be ridiculously strong!
Jiangnan swallowed. Thinking about it this way, Be a Human Herb had a lot of potential!
And he wasn't far from spending fifty million resentment value!
Alright! Be a Human Herb it is!
[(୧୨⁼̴◡⁼̴) Heart~]
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. System Bao Bao had learned to flirt?
Who did it learn that from?
Just then, Xiao Jiuwo dived steeply through the clouds!
꒰ঌ(ὅ⌂ὅ)໒꒱ "Master~ Tianchen Bureau has arrived!"
The moment they broke through the clouds, everyone in the team let out a simultaneous gasp of astonishment!
Jiangnan's eyes bulged!
(ଵﾛଵ|||) "Holy shit? Is this really the Tianchen Bureau headquarters that I dismantled into ruins before?"
How long had it been since it had developed to this level?
Several launch pads! Big rockets standing upright, various research and development centers!
Even train tracks had been laid over?
Truly worthy of the construction maniacs, huh?
Jiangnan cleared his throat lightly: (￢ก￢๑) "Ahem, remember to be sad, okay!"
If he exposed his identity in the Tianchen Bureau, Jiangnan estimated he'd get a roundhouse kicking!
Everyone nodded sadly, and Mila's eyes were already starting to redden!
Katerina was a bit excited, finally joining the little golden man group and keeping others in the dark, right?
The group arrived at the God-Slaying Spell Array. After undergoing strict inspection, they were allowed to enter!
And Yang Jian and Jiang Tianchen had already received the news and came to greet them at the entrance!
As soon as he saw Jiang Tianchen, Jiangnan's heart tightened!
In less than a month, Brother Jiang had aged and withered too much!
Yang Jian saw Jiang Tianqing return, and the two exchanged a glance. His heart was put at ease!
Now was not the time to celebrate!
"Come! First go to the Star Gate Repair Center, everything is ready there!"
The busy staff at the Tianchen Bureau headquarters also made Jiang Tianqing feel a sense of urgency!
"Secretary-General, on this trip to the Eternal Permafrost, E Guo also found a Star Ring capable of interstellar crossing!"
"I imagine the Deep Space Bureau will start acting soon. We need to hurry!"
Yang Jian was taken aback: "Star Ring? What is that?"
Jiang Tianqing: "You can understand it as a two-way teleportation array. There are two of them, only for fixed-point travel. It's a simplified version of the Star Gate!"
"A relic of the ancestors from the ancient Su Era!"
Yang Jian was stunned. Good heavens, the ancestors from the ancient Su Era were already thinking about going to the Moon?
"E Guo? Now it's not just E Guo! The Rainbow Kingdom, Brahma Kingdom, Eagle Kingdom, Maple Leaf Kingdom, and many small nations are acting in concert!"
"Countries with aerospace capabilities are all preparing for Moon Landing. This is a contest of national power and technology, a race!"
"Whoever gets up there first and achieves results will gain absolute advantage! If we weren't waiting for you, we would have started five days ago!"
Jiang Tianqing was shocked. Holy crap, it had already developed to this point?
A Moon Landing race? Interesting!
The group went straight to the Star Gate Repair Center. The first thing they saw was Han Menglu, who had huge dark circles under her eyes!
欸~ฅ(●ᯅ●|||)
Disheveled, hair greasy, who knew how long she hadn't slept.
