Chapter 1563: Not Buying a Car! (Bonus Chapter)
Even Wuzang and the others were stunned, looking at Jiangnan in utter bewilderment!
Σ(°△°|||) "Wait, you didn't come to get the Lingxu core? Then why did you call so many space-types over?"
"Could it be... could you be planning to go after a Bose body?"
Thinking of this, Qian Benying's eyes were filled with shock!
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "No... no way? You're bringing us to fight the big boss right from the start?"
Baldr sneered: "Don't think of a Bose body so simply!"
"Even if they're on Lan Xing, as long as they don't show themselves or are far enough away, even a space-type ceiling can't sense their position!"
"Once they're in danger and retreat into the void, we have no way to kill them either!"
Jiangnan was speechless: "Did I say I wanted to go after a Bose body? There are only 11 days left. We don't have time to search the entire world for a Bose body and play decapitation operations!"
"Calling you over is naturally for another purpose!"
(≖～≖) "Piers, Martin, Baldr. I'll have Wei Ni come over in a bit. You four go to the asteroid belt within the solar system. Get some asteroids and bring them back!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present stared at Jiangnan in utter shock, dead silent!
(Ŏ◊Ŏ‧̣̥̇) "What? The hell did you say? Go where? Get what back?"
Piers' eyes nearly popped out!
Jiangnan spread his hands, looking completely natural!
ʅ(･´～･｀)ʃ "Is it that hard to understand? Get some asteroids from the asteroid belt to fill in the mass that the Moon Eye was eaten away by!"
"The Celestial Star Bureau has already calculated it. There's a certain feasibility, and they've selected a few suitable asteroids. Later, I'll have Jiang Tianchen get in touch with you and give you the specific coordinates!"
Baldr panicked: "Damn! Go to the asteroid belt? How far is that? Do you really think I'm a god or something? And how are we supposed to handle such massive asteroids?"
"And bring them back? How? Even if we bring them back, how do we fill them into the Moon Eye? The fragile moon can't withstand an impact of that magnitude, can it?"
Jiangnan counted on his fingers: "An alternative dimension definitely can't hold them all. Wei Ni will shrink the asteroids' volume, then Baldr, you use space stretching to push the shrunk asteroids!"
"The distance you push is far greater than your limit teleportation! Keep going until the asteroids gain enough cosmic velocity!"
"When approaching the moon, teleport with the asteroids to decelerate. Martin, use free gravity to reduce the asteroids' weight, or remove gravity from a certain area of the moon!"
"Combine that with a large number of floating arrays, the floating power of the space-type Lingxu core. The moon's gravity is already very weak, so it should be possible to safely insert the asteroids into the Moon Eye!"
"Then restore the asteroids to their normal size!"
At this moment, the group looked at Jiangnan with their scalps tingling, goosebumps all over their bodies!
They were all shocked by Jiangnan's idea!
They wanted to refute several times but held back. They had to admit, this method had some feasibility!
Piers ground his teeth: (◞°᷄益°᷅) "I thought it was a good gig! But instead, we get sent all the way to the asteroid belt to move bricks?"
"We're Dao Heaven rank! Rare space-type Dao Heavens at that!"
Isn't this just moving bricks? No difference at all!
Jiangnan looked helpless: "I don't want it either, but aside from you, no one else can do these things!"
"Or do you have any better way to fill the Moon Eye?"
"Move material from Lan Xing? That's just robbing Peter to pay Paul. Does Lan Xing need it anymore? Get it from a Lingxu? That many billions of cubic meters of earth and rock—moving it to the Moon Eye would take forever!"
"Currently, this is the only effective method in the short term!"
Baldr's face darkened: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Why didn't you mention this operation during the meeting? Instead, you called us out to do it separately?"
Jiangnan grinned: "I can't afford to lose. And I can't afford to gamble either. Actually, I don't know if there are Star Saint people among the council members."
"Always keep a trick up your sleeve, right? Hiding it is better than revealing it. Once we lose, it's a total loss. It's better to reveal the action plan when it's actually time to act!"
"After all, if the plan leaks, all efforts go down the drain. Better to be cautious!"
Everyone stared at Jiangnan in shock!
Wow! Was he really that meticulous? Even if a Star Saint member had infiltrated, they wouldn't get the specific action plan!
It was a precautionary measure. One extra layer of insurance never hurt!
Piers clicked his tongue: "No wonder you always avoided the key points during the meeting. Tsk tsk tsk—plenty of tricks up your sleeve, huh?"
"You already have a plan for dealing with the Star-Devouring Giant Worm and even turning the One-Eyed Army, don't you?"
Jiangnan just smiled without saying a word!
Qian Benying looked at Jiangnan blankly!
(๐꒪꒫꒪) "I-it's that complicated?"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Society is simple; people are complicated!"
Baldr's eyes flickered: "What about us? You're leaving such an important task to us. Aren't you worried that someone among us might defect to Star Saint?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "First, given the current situation, you have no reason to. You're still young with plenty of time. No need to bet your freedom, right?"
"Second, it's just moving bricks. What trouble can you cause? Before dawn on the lunar farside, if I don't see you back, I'll naturally know whether you did your job or not!"
Baldr was taken aback, then looked annoyed!
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ) "Yeah, I am still young. Not like some old geezer who's run out of time and has to sell his freedom!"
Piers: ???
(◞｀⌒´) "Who are you talking about? I'm not with Star Saint! I..."
Baldr rolled his eyes: "Wasn't talking about you!"
Jiangnan remained silent. He naturally knew who Baldr was referring to!
Jiangnan spread his arms and grinned: "Let's create a miracle of a planetary rain!"
"This is a first in history, the first time humans are doing this. We're constantly exploring the limits of human capability!"
"Come on! You're the chubbiest! Keep the operation secret!"
Piers tilted his head and spat, looking disgusted!
(◞disgusted face◟) "Isn't it just a brick-moving job? Do you have to make it sound so grand?"
But the group still went to pick up Wei Ni. Since the asteroid belt was extremely far, even with two space-type Dao Heavens taking shifts, it would take a lot of time!
So time was extremely tight!
Before the operation, Jiangnan naturally gave them ample supplies, like Rabbit Spit Pills, Durian Pulp, and even Large Green Sticks, to supplement their strength so they could better complete this arduous task!
Seeing them leave, Qian Benying tugged at Jiangnan's sleeve!
(′◔‸◔`) "Hey hey hey! Aren't you really afraid Baldr is a traitor? He tried to assassinate you before!"
Jiangnan grinned: "I'm not sure! But even if Baldr is a traitor, he's been sent to the asteroid belt. What can he do?"
"Even if the planetary rain doesn't come before dawn, it won't affect the counterattack. We just need to win and keep the moon from collapsing!"
"We can also fill it slowly. That means even if Baldr betrays us, it will have some impact on the current situation, but not much!"
"It's not enough to decide the overall direction of the counterattack. It's a loss we can bear!"
Qian Benying stared blankly at Jiangnan and swallowed!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "What kind of brain is that? Do you really need to think about every detail?"
(︶～︶✽) "No wonder I can never outplay you and always get tricked by you! Pfft! People who play tactical games have dirty hearts!"
Jiangnan flicked Qian Benying's forehead!
"You still have a long way to go! Learn more from me!"
It wasn't that Jiangnan was playing mind games; he just couldn't afford to lose!
A single mistake or an uncontrollable accident could cost precious lives!
So thinking a little more—maybe even an extra bit—was the only thing Jiangnan could do!
Just then, Furuiya pulled out her phone!
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･)っ[]
"So they're going to get asteroids? I'll report it now!"
Jiangnan's eyes widened as he snatched the phone and crushed it in one go!
(ꐦ･᷅口･᷄) "No reporting! What's there to report? Don't you know about confidentiality? If you dare report it, pay me back my money!"
Furuiya: !!!
(*۶꒦ິ口꒦ີ)۶ "My phone! That was my only property!"
"If you're not reporting, then why crush it? You owe me! Compensate! Without ten or eight bottles of Green Sticks, this thing can't be settled, I tell you!"
Jiangnan's face darkened as he tossed a few bottles of Green Sticks to Furuiya!
Wasn't this disciplinary officer too easy to bribe?
Furuiya hugged the Green Sticks, frowning. Once she drank them, she couldn't lie, right? Should she drink or not?
But... it's also alcohol, isn't it?
After hesitating for a long time, Furuiya finally drank!
Wuzang was startled: "Sending Baldr and the others to get asteroids? Then what about us?"
Jiangnan smiled mysteriously: "We naturally have our own things to do. I plan to..."
"My love is like a flame, burning my heart with passion~"
A melodious phone ringtone sounded. Jiangnan was taken aback. He pulled out his phone and saw it was an encrypted satellite call from Odin!
Jiangnan answered: (•︠～•︡)ᕤ "A car dealership? I'm not buying a car!"
[From Odin Caesar's resentment value +1003!]
You again?!
At this moment, Odin stood alone on the sea, calling, with blue veins bulging on his forehead!
(ꐦ▀̿益▀̿ꐦ) "Is there anyone around? I have something to tell you!"
Jiangnan frowned, teleported several times to a deserted area!
"Not anymore. Speak!"
On the phone, Odin was silent for a long time. Jiangnan just waited quietly. Eventually, Odin spoke!
"I broke through! About a month ago. I've also absorbed the spirit technique!"
Jiangnan's expression froze. He was also silent for a long time, then a smile curled at the corner of his mouth!
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "I knew it! Little bro is awesome!"
Odin: ???
What do you mean by "I knew it"? How the hell are you not surprised?
Hey! I'm the first human of this era to break through to above Dao Heaven, the first to pick the fruit!
"Not... you..."
Jiangnan laughed: "Back in the tenth layer of the Abyss, the ten-colored creation particles given to me by the Creation Beast—you must have absorbed a wisp and gotten a good deal, right?"
"Did you use that to open the door? To break the racial shackles of humanity?"
Odin's face darkened: "Tsk—how the hell did you know?"
Jiangnan grinned: "I guessed! In the Lantis ruins, your attitude toward me was different from before. There was anger and unwillingness, but also a trace of gratitude. That's because breaking through also had something to do with my luck, right?"
"Also... you weren't that interested in the Origin Spark. Although you were acting, your acting was too bad. You can fool others, but not me!"
"Of course, this is just my guess. I didn't expect you to tell me about it. Tsk tsk tsk—above Dao Heaven, huh? Awesome awesome!"
"Now that you've broken through, you don't dare to say it, and you can't show off. That must be suffocating for you, right?"
Odin: !!!
At this moment, Odin suddenly felt that Jiangnan was a bit terrifying!
Absolutely terrifying! Was it because he guessed it that he deliberately didn't arrange for him to go to the moon to fight, but kept him on Lan Xing to guard Pambardy?
Sigh—
What kind of insight was this?
