Chapter 1502: The Treasures of Our Ancestors
Jiangnan finally let go of Koronov's chest hair, raised his hand and blew on it, a fierce look on his face!
(˶‾᷄͟ʖ‾᷅) "When it's time to act, you back out. What's the use of just being loud?"
"Hurry up and hand over the spacesuits, or I'll go dismantle the Star Gate right now!"
Koronov rubbed his chest, fuming and glaring, but what could he do about Jiangnan?
If a fight broke out, the one to suffer would be the E Country. Besides, in a few days, they might have to face the One-Eyed Species!
Losing strength now would make things rough later!
His expression twisted reluctantly: (︶益︶╰) "Go get the spacesuits and hand them over to him!"
Jiangnan looked disgusted: "Free stuff you won't take, you have to get fleeced before you're happy?"
"Get the money ready. Come to me before dawn for the pills! Mila, Lan, go with their people to pack the suits!"
Mila and Lan, holding hands with excited looks, ran off to pack the suits.
Bai Kou, watching Jiangnan from the side, couldn't help but laugh.
(˵ಡლಡ˵)
A robber who makes this much sense is probably one of a kind!
Even though she'd been robbed by Jiangnan, Bai Kou seemed quite happy.
Then she changed the subject: "Did you go down to the Moon Eye? Did you see the Origin Spark inside?"
Jiangnan reached into his Alternate Dimension and pulled out a three-meter by three-meter brick of Origin Spark, slamming it onto the ground.
(๑•̌～•̑) "You mean this kind?"
Bai Kou's eyes went wide, her jaw dropping to the floor.
(O口O❅)
Koronov nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
Holy crap! That big?
Back in Lantis, a piece the size of a pigeon egg had a basketful of Dao Heaven experts fighting over it.
Now, Jiangnan casually takes out a piece bigger than a bed!
Bai Kou gasped: "Are there that many under the Moon Eye?"
Jiangnan nodded: "The One-Eyed Species have been mining them. I blew up the warehouse in Tong City, but I couldn't bring it all back. My Alternate Dimension is full."
Koronov was already numb.
So Tong City's explosion was indeed caused by Jiangnan! Origin Spark so plentiful that even his Alternate Dimension couldn't hold it all?
How much must there be?
Bai Kou's expression turned serious: "So the One-Eyed Species' goal is already clear. Extinguish the Origin Spark, destroy the moon!"
"Xiao Di said that to win, we must chase the moon. The moon holds the treasures left by our ancestors."
"Yu Shen also used the treasures on the moon to surpass human limits. He said there's a massive amount of Origin Spark on the moon..."
"So much that Yu Shen had to build the Star Ring. I've never been here, so I don't know the specifics."
Jiangnan paused, recalling what he'd seen in the Moon Eye earlier.
The Origin Spark on the moon was scattered sporadically, clearly not a natural vein. That meant the Origin Spark on the moon was placed there by someone later.
Treasures left by our ancestors...
Our ancestors brought it here and hid it inside the moon?
Jiangnan got goosebumps all over.
Yu Shen had been to the moon. His level surpassed human limits, so his Alternate Dimension must have been astronomically large.
Yet even so, Yu Shen still chose to build the Star Ring.
He chose to place his hope in the future, letting more people reach the moon.
Instead of bringing the Origin Stones back to prepare for later generations...
That meant even his Alternate Dimension couldn't hold all the Origin Stones on the moon?
Not just that, but even repeated trips would feel like an ant moving a mountain?
Damn!
If he wasn't mistaken, the Origin Spark on the moon must be terrifyingly huge.
The small amount the One-Eyed Species had mined might just be a drop in the ocean?
Even more terrifying—if Jiangnan's guess was correct—
how did our ancestors thousands of years ago manage to hide such a massive piece of Origin Stone inside the moon?
And where did they get it from?
The more Jiangnan thought about it, the more horrifying it became.
Bai Kou bit her lip: "Those are the treasures our ancestors left for us! We cannot let the One-Eyed Species destroy them!"
Jiangnan thought of the Star-Devouring Giant Worm and shuddered.
We can't let that thing gnaw on it either.
(͡°◠͡°) "That's not something we need to worry about at this stage. First, establish a foothold on the moon!"
"Then we'll figure out how to solve these problems. I'm heading back. Wait for my news!"
By then, Lan and Mila had returned. Seeing Lan's beaming smile, she must have packed plenty.
Koronov ground his teeth in hatred, but could only watch as Jiangnan robbed the spacesuits.
Jiangnan grinned at Koronov.
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Save that energy for the One-Eyed Species!"
"Hope you live up to your name. Don't be a coward!"
Koronov's eyes bulged.
(╯ʘ口ʘ) "Bullshit! Life and death mean nothing! A single stroke is all it takes to fight! I'm no coward!"
Jiangnan shrugged, waved his hand, and turned to leave.
Bai Kou hurriedly called out: (❅ﾟ⌂ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey—you forgot this Origin Spark!"
Jiangnan didn't look back: "Consider it a gift. Payment for the spacesuits I bought from you."
"I have plenty of this stuff. It takes up too much space, and it's too lumpy to sit on."
With that, his team vanished without a trace.
Bai Kou was speechless. "Takes up too much space" my ass. Can you be any more Versailles?
But Koronov swallowed hard. A chunk of Origin Stone this big, just given to them?
Maybe trading spacesuits for it wasn't such a bad deal after all?
Suddenly, the frustration of being robbed faded quite a bit.
From then on, of the seven nations stationed on the moon, except for Hua Xia, all bases had their spacesuits stolen by Jiangnan.
Sure enough, after losing their spacesuits, every nation was confined to their bases. Even if they wanted to go for a walk, their family conditions didn't allow it!
The previous phenomenon of sneaking into each other's bases and fiercely competing never happened again.
Every day, aside from building infrastructure and expanding bases, they just cursed Jiangnan!
The stream of resentment never stopped.
Meanwhile, Jiangnan and his team drove an exploration vehicle back to Silver Moon City.
Martin and the others were still lying in wait in the vine forest!
The spacesuits they had left were probably the last of the Mi Country's inventory.
Martin was going crazy!
(งᵒ̌口ᵒ̌)ง "Did Winnie get it? Can we activate the God-Slaying Spell Array now?"
They had activated it once before, but Winnie never came out!
His underlings started complaining.
(›´ω`‹) "Big Brother Martin, let's go home. We can't keep waiting. I'm starving!"
(◞‸◟) "Yeah, the radio's dead. Let's go back and figure out a plan."
_(:зゝ∠)_ "If we don't leave soon, the time compression will end. Once we're exposed, the Hua Xia will attack us! They outnumber us!"
Martin sighed. So they had to retreat for now?
Just as he was about to lead the team away—
They saw Jiangnan's exploration vehicle drive into the Silver Moon Force Field!
And there, sitting cross-legged on the roof of the car, was Winnie, holding a basket!
Martin's eyes widened, veins bulging on his forehead.
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅ꐦ)
What the hell? Winnie had been out for a while? Why didn't she come to them? Instead, she left with Jiangnan?
Had she defected?
Then he saw Nicole through the car window.
Damn! Nicole from the Eagle Country was there too?
What the hell was going on?
Before Martin could figure it out, Jiangnan's car teleported into the spell array.
Martin: !!!
"Damn it! Winnie defected! Not only did we fail to get the seed, we lost one of ours?"
"What are we waiting for? Go home and find Old Pi!"
[From Martin's Resentment Value: +1001!]
So he angrily led his team back to Star City.
When he got home, he would find that not only had he lost a person, but the spacesuits were also gone...
Back at Silver Moon City, Jiangnan immediately went to report to Yang Jian.
Seeing everyone return safely, Yang Jian breathed a sigh of relief. But seeing the extra Nicole and Winnie bewildered him.
Σ(°△°|||) "What? Not only did you steal spacesuits, you also kidnapped people?"
Wang Dalei chuckled.
(O≖ʖ̫≖) "Brother Jian, don't misunderstand. These are captives. We brought them back for ruthless torture."
Seeing Nicole coquettishly leaning into Wang Dalei's arms, her face blushing shyly—
Yang Jian's mouth twitched. You call this a captive?
You went out and came back with a Dao Heaven expert on your arm?
Yang Jian laughed.
(͡°͜ʖ͡°) "Then I leave this arduous task to you! Thoroughly interrogate them!"
Wang Dalei: "Don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of it."
Jiangnan almost spat out old blood. "Get to the bottom of it" my ass!
You're even better at this than I am?
He immediately handed Wang Dalei a bottle of Dali 1.0 and some chives, and the two of them happily went off to interrogate.
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔◡◔ิ๑) "How did it go? Was the operation effective? Have they all calmed down?"
Yang Jian covered his face: "They've all calmed down, but their mouths haven't. The aviation bureaus of all countries have cursed you out."
"They say you, Jiang Duo Sun, not only stole the bamboo shoots on Lan Xing, but also stole them on the moon."
After one wave, personnel from six national bases had no clothes to wear. No wonder the aviation bureaus were cursing.
They all condemned Jiangnan for being inhuman.
Even before Jiangnan returned, Yang Jian already knew what he'd been up to.
Jiangnan pouted: (◕ˇ～ˇ◕) "Hmph! So what if I stole the shoots? Who told them to mess around? If they don't like it, come fight me on the moon!"
"If they curse again, I'll raise the price! Anyway, I'm off to check the production line."
With that, he teleported away. Yang Jian naturally knew what Jiangnan was planning.
Seeing that Jiangnan had everything under control, he let him do as he pleased.
As soon as Jiangnan entered the TuTu Pill production workshop, he was startled by the scene before him.
As far as the eye could see, there were timid rabbits, all with cracked, dry lips and sunken cheeks.
Even the drool girl, who usually drooled the most, had run out of drool!
(›´ε`‹)...
She worked her mouth for a long time before spitting out a bit and rolling it, looking like she was about to cry.
Jiangnan hurried over.
∑(°口°๑) "What happened to you? How did spitting saliva bring you to this state?"
The drool girl wiped her tears.
(›•́ᯅก̀‹) "You can't keep spitting forever! How can there be that much saliva?"
Jiangnan frowned: (•︠ˍ•︡) "Why not? Aren't women made of water?"
Drool girl: ???
"That may be true, but women are made of water, not saliva! Ptui—"
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥)
This batch of drool girls is done for. I need to get a new batch.
