Chapter 1558: I Am the Mine, Boss Pang
In the vast Sun Hall, only Jiangnan's voice echoed!
This speech directly silenced everyone present!
Huaxia may be strong, but our methods did not come for free. They were the result of planning ahead and accumulating resources over time!
Now they want us to just hand everything over for nothing? That's not how cake is eaten!
Clearly, every faction had their eyes on Huaxia's methods, hoping to take a share through this cooperation!
Yang Jian felt incredibly satisfied. That was exactly what he meant!
Jiangnan continued: "As for the Tu Tu Pills, free distribution is impossible, since Huaxia also bears production costs. It wouldn't be reasonable for us to foot the bill for everyone!"
"However, given the special circumstances, the unit price has been reduced to one hundred thousand each, with unlimited supply. Huaxia promises never to use this to choke anyone's throat!"
"If you don't want to pay cash, trade with resources. Spiritual materials or binding materials are all acceptable. Isn't that enough?"
At this moment, the people around the table fell silent. But then they recalled that Jiangnan used to sell each pill for a million!
Each pill with a profit margin of nine hundred thousand, can you believe that? Remembering this, everyone's faces darkened again!
Resentment values began to refresh!
Martin spoke: (๑՞～՞) "What about the Silver Laurel Vine seeds..."
Jiangnan said coldly: "Don't even think about it. The Silver Laurel Vine will never be handed over. Even if you took it, you couldn't sustain it!"
"But everyone can use it. The Silver Laurel Vine can extensively propagate vine forests, expand the range of the Silver Moon Force Field, and reclaim territory!"
"Nations can establish settlements within the Silver Moon Force Field near Silver Moon City. Star Gates can also be provided for transporting supplies and personnel!"
"This will form a Blue Star joint matrix lunar base, preventing the situation where the One-Eyed Army picks us off one by one. If something like the Dawn Battle happens again, everyone can unite to fight together!"
Jiangnan's proposal immediately gained support from over half the attendees.
After all, Huaxia's eco-base was exceptionally impressive. Neither its defensive capabilities nor sustainability could be matched by those pathetic man-eating flowers or honeycomb water film barriers!
But this way, the main body of the Silver Laurel Vine remained in Huaxia's hands!
If, as Jiangnan said, a joint base was formed, Huaxia would hold the ability to withdraw the Silver Moon Force Field!
No one liked putting their lifeline in someone else's hands!
That was also the point of resistance for many.
Seeing many still hesitating, Jiangnan continued:
"I know what you're worried about, but take a long-term view. We're not just taking back the moon; we're transforming it into a planet suitable for human habitation!"
"That is the ultimate goal of Huaxia's Garden Plan. In the future, the Silver Laurel Vine forest will cover the entire moon! Even the Tu Tu Pills are just a temporary measure!"
"Once the Garden Plan is complete, every inch of the moon will be accessible to humans!"
"In other words, even if I released the Silver Laurel Vine, do any of you have the capital to push it to Starlight rank in the short term?"
"You don't! With those resources, it's better to push the existing Silver Laurel Vine to Dao Heaven rank, increasing humanity's capital to fight against the One-Eyed race!"
At this moment, many around the table got goosebumps!
No one expected Jiangnan's ambition to be this huge!
The ultimate goal was to terraform the moon and achieve interstellar colonization?
Quinn swallowed hard, genuinely shocked by Jiangnan's words!
Perhaps at this moment, humanity was taking the first step toward interstellar colonization!
This was a cross-era action!
Yang Jian and Ye Zhenguo looked at Jiangnan with great satisfaction!
Clear logic, well-reasoned, presenting Huaxia's chips in the most appropriate way while securing benefits!
Clearly, Jiangnan wasn't acting recklessly; he had already formulated a detailed plan and strategy!
Perhaps there was already a prototype of the counterattack plan!
Quinn spoke at the right time: (͡°ก͡°) "What does everyone think about this matter?"
Piers said darkly: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿◟) "What else can we think? We'll just sit and watch!"
Even if we opposed, did we have the capital to oppose?
The key things were all in their hands. They said how it was!
Jiangnan sat down and crossed his legs!
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "Huaxia has taken on the big job of the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, brought out what we had to bring, and even openly shared methods like the God-Slaying Spell Array!"
"I believe Huaxia has done its utmost for the sake of unity!"
"What? Are you all just going to clap and cheer on the sidelines while shoving everything into your own pockets? That's a bit too unsightly, isn't it?"
Martin spread his hands: ╮(•́∇•̀)╭ "Then what do you want us to do? It's not our fault Huaxia has so many methods! Don't act so high and mighty!"
"We also want to help, but we simply don't have any impressive methods to offer! Right, everyone?"
Andy and Bruce nodded in agreement!
"If we really had methods, the Star Metropolis wouldn't have fallen so quickly!"
Jiangnan curled his lip: (￢д￢) "So you really plan to treat us as a sucker?"
"It's not that you don't have methods; you just don't want to share, right? Your high-beam plasma cannon technology has been mature after years of development, hasn't it?"
"This thing is extremely effective against Bose bodies and is one of the few ways to counter them! What, still playing the technology blockade card?"
Mentioning the plasma cannon, Piers's expression turned ugly!
Quinn looked toward the Miguo delegation: "I hope Miguo can also be open about this, since it's for dealing with Bose bodies!"
"If everyone has it, it will be a blessing for the counterattack!"
Piers said darkly: "We can provide finished plasma cannons to each faction, but the core manufacturing technology involves national..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Can you stop making excuses? I've already brought out the God-Slaying Spell Array. Do you have any idea how many incantations are involved in that array?"
"If you don't bring out the plasma cannon, don't expect to use the God-Slaying Spell Array or the Silver Moon Force Field!"
This move forced the Miguo delegation into a corner with no choice left!
Piers slammed the table: (◞･᷅口･᷄) "Fine! We'll share it! It's just a plasma cannon, right? We can share the core technology!"
"Then what about your anti-Pupil Race weapons? These are extremely effective against the One-Eyed race, right?"
"To reduce unnecessary casualties, shouldn't those also be shared?"
Pang Badi: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "About this matter..."
Jiangnan glared: (Ő皿Ő๑) "Did I say I wouldn't share?"
As he spoke, he opened the Alternate Dimension and slammed onto the table the Wolf Fang Leg, the Anti-Pupil Fist Rod, the foot covers, and even the Membrane-Breaking Awl that he had placed inside earlier!
Two arms, two legs, plus two feet—that directly assembled a full set of limbs!
At this moment, everyone present who had once fought alongside Jiangnan in the Broken Star Sea against the falling celestial body looked at him with strange expressions!
(･᷄ὢ･᷅)
Their gazes involuntarily shifted to Pang Badi!
Bai Kou looked confused: (❅•̌.•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "I've wanted to ask for a long time. Why are the shapes of your weapons so strange? Is this... radiance gold?"
Freya exclaimed in admiration: (๐ﾟﾛﾟ) "Nature truly is a master craftsman. There are raw ores that grow to resemble humans?"
Quinn swallowed: (*⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) "Where did you mine these? Can you tell me?"
Pang Badi: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) "Um... could we not..."
Jiangnan waved his hand grandly!
(︶～︶๑)ﾉ "To be honest, this radiance gold was mined from Boss Pang Badi's body!"
"It proved very useful when dealing with the One-Eyed race!"
[From Pang Badi: Resentment Value +1001!]
[From Pang Badi...]
Looking at Pang Badi's pitch-black face, Freya laughed heartily and continued tormenting Ku Po!
Many present were holding back laughter, their faces turning red!
"Specially mined from Pang Badi's body"? You mined his arms and legs, can you believe that?
Human-shaped raw ore?
Even Ku Po struggled to hold back!
(´థ౪థ)σ "Is the Membrane-Breaking Awl made from..."
Pang Badi: !!!
(ง｀益´)ง "No! It's not! Don't talk nonsense if you don't know!"
Can we stop bringing this up? Don't I have any face left?
Jiangnan nodded: (｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Indeed it's not. There wasn't that much material in total. I figured it wouldn't even be enough to make a Membrane-Breaking Awl, so I didn't mine it!"
[From Pang Badi: Resentment Value +1003!]
(ꐦ͡⚆益͡⚆) "Jiangnan! You're talking crap! If I took mine off, it could make ten Membrane-Breaking Awls! There'd even be enough left for a pair of gloves!"
"What do you mean not enough material? Who do you think you're belittling?"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (･᷄ὢ･᷅) "Oh? I don't believe it. Unless you prove it to me?"
Pang Badi: !!!
"Prove it? How the hell am I supposed to prove it?
Did he want to flash it in front of over twenty Dao Heaven experts?
[From Pang Badi: Resentment Value +1003!]
Furious, he climbed onto the table, ready to fight Jiangnan. The resentment values were going crazy!
But Omega grabbed him!
(๑ŏ﹏ŏ) "Boss! Calm down! You need to stay calm! This is a round-table meeting. It's not good to start a fight!"
Pang Badi, hearing this, went berserk. He turned around and grabbed Omega by the collar, raining fists the size of cauldrons onto Omega's face!
He beat him mercilessly!
"You think I don't know who's at fault here? Damn it! If I can't hit him, can't I at least hit my own underling?"
Omega's face was swollen from the beating, and he looked like he was about to cry. Should I not have tried to stop him?
Quinn cleared his throat: "So, radiance gold can break the eye membrane of the One-Eyed race?"
Jiangnan shook his head: "For Yuzu-level One-Eyed, the eye membrane hardness exceeds radiance gold!"
"Breaking the eye membrane primarily relies on the eye membrane fragments embedded in these weapons—using the enemy's spear against their shield!"
"So, for effective attacks against the One-Eyed race, weapons made from eye membrane are key. And for that, we need Boss Pang's ability!"
"Boss Pang! Whether everyone gets suitable gear depends entirely on you!"
Pang Badi dropped the beaten-up Omega, took a Wolf Fang Leg with a dark face, and stared at his own body parts turned into weapons. He felt a strange sensation!
Both familiar and unfamiliar!
Still, he placed his hand on the eye membrane fragment!
The next moment, Pang Badi's body surged with spiritual energy!
"Matter Imitation • Assimilation!"
In an instant, Pang Badi's entire body transformed into a transparent eye membrane material!
He hit his own forehead with the Wolf Fang Leg, and sparks flew!
"Hmph! This is a piece of cake. Doesn't consume much spiritual energy. Easy!"
"Looks like I'll have another material for my collection!"
At this moment, everyone stared at Pang Badi with shining eyes!
This guy's ability was humanity's treasure! He wasn't just someone with a mine at home—Pang Badi himself was the mine!
