Chapter 1601: The Humanizing Grass is Freaking Awesome
Zhang San thought that when Jiangnan pulled an island back then, that was already the limit!
Who would've guessed that this time he was thinking about moving the Star-Devouring Giant Worm home?
Do you have to be this money-hungry?
Jiangnan said anxiously: (O･`O･´)ﾉ "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and help! The incense beads it refines are precious enough to buy a planet!"
Bai Kou's eye twitched: "You don't actually think you're invincible under the starry sky, do you? This thing is huge—how are we supposed to move it back?"
Mi Ye's expression grew even more serious: "We've made such a huge commotion. The One-Eyed Species have already noticed. The moment we exposed ourselves, the counterattack began!"
"We can't afford to waste time here. Let's go out, release the Star Ring, and have the final battle with the One-Eyed Species!"
"The longer we drag this out, the worse it gets for us!"
Jiangnan paced around frantically. According to the timeline, it wouldn't be long before the far side of the moon saw dawn!
Once sunlight shone everywhere, those One-Eyed Species would be hard to deal with!
"But I can't just leave this money-printing worm here! It's not really dead—it's just in a fake death state!"
"This state can only last 24 hours. If we exceed that, it'll wake up!"
"Then it'll turn around and swallow the Origin Spark again, and I won't have any way to deal with it! We have to figure something out!"
Xia Yao suddenly raised her hand: (๑ﾟ⌂ﾟ)ﾂ "Jiang Douding? Can't you become Jiang Douding? What if you feed it a Mouse Biscuit? Or make it bigger and then shrink it?"
Jiangnan scratched his head: "That won't work! The side effect of the Mouse Biscuit is that things magnified 100 times only shrink back to 100 times smaller afterward!"
"If I make this thing 100 times bigger—even if I could—before it shrinks, the moon would explode from the sheer size!"
Something 100 kilometers across magnified 100 times? Just thinking about it made Jiangnan want to kneel!
Even magnifying it 10 times would be unbearable!
System baby, is there any trick? Think for me!
This is our money-printing worm! If I tame it as a pet, I can earn small money however I want later!
Come with me and eat well and drink well, okay?
[(͡°ก͡°)～Hmm…]
[Detected that the host's total grievance value consumption recently exceeds 50 million!]
[Reward: Special Item: One Humanizing Grass!]
[Please use at your discretion!]
Jiangnan was stunned.
Holy crap! How could I forget this?
Earlier, when it reached 30 million, they said the upgrade card was out of stock, and they promised to give me the Humanizing Grass when I saved up 50 million!
Jiangnan agreed back then. It's been so long—not to mention 50 million, I almost have a second 50 million now!
After all, I earned quite a bit from the Brilliant and Beautiful Wonderful Room in Tongcheng, and I spent it all!
I've been busy with the moon business all this time and completely forgot about this special reward!
Why didn't you say so earlier?
[(O˘▿˘)You didn't ask~]
If I could save, of course I would! Jiangnan ground his teeth. He suffered from forgetting to claim the reward!
He quickly checked the function of the Humanizing Grass.
Special Reward: Humanizing Grass!
Effect: Any creature that consumes it will gain a chance to start over as a human. This reward is ineffective on humans.
Jiangnan swallowed. It should be the kind of "starting over as a human" that I think it is, right?
Whatever. There's nothing else to use now.
At this moment, Jiangnan couldn't help but glance at Xiong Er.
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･) "Xiong Er, it looks like you'll have to wait a while before you can start over as a human."
Xiong Er shivered.
(๑◉㉨◉ิ๑) "Do you have to pick on me?"
Didn't I just spend one dollar from Bro Nan? Isn't that too much?
Jiangnan reached out and pulled a tender green Humanizing Grass into his hand.
The whole grass was fresh and dewy, its leaves shaped like a miniature matchstick figure. Around the grass, starlight shimmered, bling-bling!
"Whether we can get rich or not depends entirely on you!"
With that, he started teleporting wildly, charging straight into the mouth of the Star-Devouring Giant Worm!
He went all the way to near its throat, looked inside—a pitch-black void.
Jiangnan swallowed, then tossed the Humanizing Grass directly in!
Then he watched with full anticipation.
The money-printing worm was in a fake death state—would it work?
But the next moment, under everyone's horrified gaze, a sound like popping beans rang out from the Star-Devouring Giant Worm's body!
Its whole body erupted with dazzling starlight!
The massive body over a hundred kilometers began shrinking at an astonishing speed!
Startled, Jiangnan quickly ran out of its mouth!
Finally, the starlight converged into a single ball. The moon rock cavern, originally filled by the giant worm, was now completely empty!
And that ball of starlight formed from the worm's shrinking body fell rapidly down the mine shaft!
Jiangnan's eyes lit up, and he cackled with joy!
─=≡Σ(((つ•̀ヮ•́)つ "Haha! It worked!"
Then he immediately teleported after that ball of starlight!
At this moment, Mi Ye, Zhong Yingxue, and the others looked at each other in confusion. What method did he use to shrink that huge Star-Devouring Giant Worm?
Is he really going to keep it as a spirit pet?
After a few teleports, Jiangnan finally caught up with the starlight ball.
The starlight dissipated, revealing a patch of snow-white skin inside.
Jiangnan caught it in his arms and immediately froze!
The current Star-Devouring Giant Worm, under the effect of the Humanizing Grass, had turned into a tall, slender girl. She was completely naked.
Her figure was a bit thin, but still had curves in all the right places—like a budding lotus just showing its tips.
Her waist was so slender you could wrap your hand around it—absolutely stunning!
And her facial features were gorgeous beyond compare. Her face was definitely the human ceiling, on par with that waste goddess Freya!
She had hair cut to her shoulders—a mix of silver and black strands, messy like a mutt?
Jiangnan was shocked!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ)!! "Holy crap! It... it really turned into a human? And it's a female?"
Jiangnan couldn't help but inspect her front, back, left, and right carefully. Her body structure was no different from a normal human's!
(⑉⊙ཀ⊙⑉) Ehehe~
The Small Whip started activating Blood Drain again...
The only difference might be that her teeth were serrated, like shark teeth!
Right now, she was in a fake death state, her skin an unnatural corpse-white!
Jiangnan was overjoyed. This is perfect, isn't it?
When the Star-Devouring Giant Worm goes berserk, it's even more powerful than the ceiling of the Dao Heaven rank!
And it can refine incense beads to earn me money!
Plus, it's female—it can lay eggs! In the future, I might have a whole group of Star-Devouring Giant Worms working for me!
Jiangnan laughed nonstop, quickly averted his gaze. He couldn't look anymore—it was making him restless!
He hurriedly put a vest, shorts, and a skirt on her, then threw a short-sleeved shirt over her.
He used Void Chains to tie her tightly to his back.
This is my money-printing worm! No one can take her away!
Then he teleported a few times back to the group.
When the others saw Jiangnan return with a sleeping pretty girl on his back, they were all stunned.
(•︠～•︡) "Who is this girl? Where's the Star-Devouring Giant Worm?"
Jiangnan casually patted the money-printing worm's thigh.
(´ﾟωﾟ) "This is it!"
At this statement, everyone turned to stone!
Are you kidding me?!
That huge Star-Devouring Giant Worm, with its bloody maw and terrifying appearance, turned into a cute girl just like that?
That makes no sense at all!
But Xiong Er went completely wild. Two streams of white air shot out of his nostrils. He lunged over and grabbed Jiangnan's hand!
He finally understood what "starting over as a human" meant!
(♡✧㉨✧) "Lan De! I want to apply for a restart as a human right now! Whether Xiao Qi and I can get our marriage license depends entirely on you!"
Jiangnan's mouth twitched: "I only had one Humanizing Grass. When I get another, I'll give it to you."
At this moment, Xiao Jiuwo, lying on Zhong Yingxue's head, looked at Jiangnan with longing eyes.
ଘ(◕ŏﻌŏ)ଓ "I want to be human too! Then I can be ridden by my master!"
Zhang San: ???
Is that "riding" even proper?
Jiangnan broke out in a cold sweat: (乛ㅂ乛‧̣̥̇) "Yes, yes, yes. Everyone will get one. Xiong Er eats first, then I'll give it to you, okay?"
Now he had a hundred million grievance value earmarked!
He would have to work even harder to piss people off!
"The money-printing worm is dealt with. Next, we flatten the One-Eyed Species! Everyone, charge with me!"
With that, he took the lead and rushed upward. The group quickly followed.
Looking at the Star-Devouring Giant Worm, not completely dead, lying on Jiangnan's back, everyone still couldn't believe it.
It was really handled like this?
...
In another passage, Wu Liang, who was leading the One-Eyed army, had almost rushed back to the bottom of the Moon Eye through the passage!
Wu Liang and the others ran in front, the One-Eyed army chased behind, and Ba Di blew things up at the rear.
This side was much more lively than Jiangnan's group!
At this moment, Mila looked a bit worried.
(๑･᷄～･᷅) "Hey... I wonder how Jiangnan gege is doing."
"That Star-Devouring Giant Worm is so powerful. If they encountered danger..."
Wu Liang grinned: "Don't worry! Bro Nan won't..."
"Rumble!"
Before Wu Liang finished speaking, a huge tremor came!
The wall of the passage in front suddenly exploded. A massive Star-Devouring Giant Worm burst out from one side!
The passage collapsed directly, blocking the way ahead!
Wu Liang: !!!
"Does it have to be this accurate? I haven't even finished speaking, and it's already here? Where are Bro Nan and the others?"
Lan said anxiously: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "I can't sense Jiangnan gege's spatial fluctuations. Could they have already been..."
"Wuwu... it's over! Jiangnan gege must have been eaten! This worm has gotten fat from eating!"
Wu Liang's heart sank to the bottom.
It was clearly Bro Nan and the others who had lured the Star-Devouring Giant Worm away, but now the giant worm appears, and Bro Nan and the others are nowhere to be seen?
How could he not suspect the worst?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! Bro Nan has so many tricks, and Bai Kou and Mi Ye are with him. They can't be..."
Mila's face turned icy cold: "No matter what, even if it ate them, it has to spit them out!"
"No one can hurt my Jiangnan gege! No one!"
Wu Liang turned around and rushed back: "First, go find Ba Di to clear the way! We'll talk when we get out!"
