# Chapter 156: Void Chains! (Bonus Update!!!)
Originally, Jiangnan was a bit miffed about Mountain Cat ignoring him and the Dark Night's cold attitude!
After all, it was because the mission was exposed!
Now everyone's targeting me!
And you guys aren't doing anything about it...
Isn't this just freeloading?
But now it seemed, it wasn't that Mountain Cat wasn't acknowledging him!
It was that she had no time!
One could imagine how massive the scale of this Sword-Drawing Operation was!
The entire Dark Night Army of China had mobilized!
Multiple parties coordinating to surround and eliminate!
Drawing swords from the darkness, striking with the iron fist of justice!
This operation was undoubtedly a huge blow to countless underground organizations!
It also showed the determination to protect Jiangnan!
Every spatial ability user is a national treasure!
China had finally produced a second one after so long!
How could they not take it seriously?
Jiangnan couldn't quite describe his feelings, looking at the exhausted expressions of his brothers one by one.
His nose stung a little!
Standing up straight, he saluted everyone with a standard military salute!
But...
It was too dark, and hardly anyone noticed...
Jiangnan put his hand down!
Damn!
Was this awkward or what?
Chen Chen bumped Jiangnan's shoulder!
"Go see the captain. Since the operation started, she's been charging at the front, hasn't slept in three days and four nights!"
Jiangnan wiped his nose and walked toward the riot control vehicle nearby.
Mountain Cat was still using her walkie-talkie to direct the operation in the mountains.
"Oh dear oh dear! Sister Shanmiao, it's only been a few days since I saw you, and you've gotten even prettier!"
"Are you tired?"
As he spoke, he ran behind Mountain Cat and started massaging her shoulders and patting her back.
"How did you get so dark?"
Jiangnan: ...
Can we not mention that?
I was just trying to stay alive!
"Can you turn back?"
"Even if you can't turn back, it's still fine. It suits the Dark Night Army well. Convenient for night operations..."
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Why didn't you tell me about the Sword-Drawing Operation?"
Mountain Cat: "What's there to say? The notice came urgently, so I didn't tell you."
"You need to live up to the training the higher-ups have given you, understand?"
Jiangnan grinned: "I know! Can't you trust me?"
"Mm. I don't."
Jiangnan: ???
Do you have to be so straightforward?!
"By the way! The item came through. Use it when you get back. When you reach Silver, we'll figure something else out."
As she spoke, she unzipped her jacket and took out a spirit bead from her chest.
Jiangnan's eyes went wide.
What?
Do all girls like to hide spirit beads there?
Xia Yao did it too...
You'd need some assets to pull that off!
He was being unfair to Mountain Cat though. She kept it there because she was afraid she'd lose it in a fight if it was in her pocket.
Keeping it close to her body was more reliable...
Jiangnan looked at it with anticipation, took it, and sniffed it: "Hm? What spirit technique?"
Mountain Cat's pretty face flushed red, and she glared: "What are you sniffing for? Can you sniff out a spirit technique?"
Jiangnan chuckled foolishly.
"From a Gold-rank spirit beast from the Void Sea, the Ghost-faced Toad!"
"Gold-rank spirit technique: Void Chains!"
"As for the specific effect, you'll find out when you try it later."
Jiangnan was a bit disappointed: "Ah? Another control-type skill? Isn't there any attack-type one?"
In terms of attack power, that had always been Jiangnan's weak point.
Just talking about attack power alone!
One Zhong Yingxue could take on three Jiangnans!
Mountain Cat: "You wish! An attack-type spatial spirit technique? How easy do you think those are to get?"
"Do you know how many people die every time they enter the Void Sea?"
"If you're capable in the future, go find spirit beads in the Void Sea yourself!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Don't be mad! I have gifts for you too!"
With that, he held a Marrow-Cleansing Spirit Fruit in his left hand and a Peerless Beauty Pill in his right.
Then he clenched his fists and held them out to Mountain Cat.
"Come on, pick one!"
Mountain Cat tilted her head and tapped his left hand.
She'd already eaten White Rabbit candy, so she was more curious about the red fruit.
"Here~"
Jiangnan opened his hand, revealing the red fruit in his palm! And also a White Rabbit candy!
Mountain Cat was stunned: "How did you... Oh! Spatial wormhole!"
"Hehe, eat up, eat up!"
Mountain Cat didn't stand on ceremony either: "I'll eat it when I get back!"
"No, eat it now. And don't tell anyone, okay?"
In the end, Mountain Cat couldn't resist Jiangnan and ate the Peerless Beauty Pill.
"Tsk tsk tsk... So pretty."
Mountain Cat's face flushed slightly, and she also ate the Marrow-Cleansing Spirit Fruit.
Not long after!
Mountain Cat froze, her big eyes filled with disbelief.
"My aptitude actually... Mm~"
Jiangnan: "Shh~"
He pressed his finger against Mountain Cat's lips.
"Remember to keep it secret."
Mountain Cat subconsciously nodded. Her aptitude had actually increased from A+ to S!
How was this possible!
Originally, with an A+ aptitude, Platinum was pretty much her limit!
But now, even Diamond wasn't impossible!
Wasn't aptitude an innate factor that couldn't be improved?
But that red fruit just now!
It made Mountain Cat think of Jiangnan's SSS+ aptitude.
Was it also because of this thing?
Mountain Cat didn't ask too many questions.
Since he'd given it to her to eat, it meant he trusted her.
Looking at Jiangnan's pitch-black face...
"Pfft..."
"Damn you, Mountain Cat! You're laughing at me too?"
...
The operation in the mountain forest ended, and the Dark Night Army withdrew.
Xia Yao called Jiangnan to get on her military vehicle.
Jiangnan refused to go no matter what!
And sure enough!
On the way back, the tires blew out!
The riot control vehicle had six tires, and four of them burst...
Xia Yao's damn bad luck still hadn't worn off!
Mountain Cat, on the other hand, leaned against Jiangnan's shoulder and fell asleep peacefully.
...
When they finally got back to the villa, the four black coal balls stared at the chaotic living room for a long time...
Xia Yao sniffled with her swollen bread face: "I'm so unlucky!"
She'd bumped her head again in the riot control vehicle just now.
The four of them looked at each other and laughed.
Some things you only understand after experiencing them—what truly matters to you.
"Mm... We'll clean up tomorrow morning! Wash up and go to bed!"
"I'm going to look online for ways to reduce swelling!"
Ye Ye: "Then I'll sleep in Brother Jiangnan's room!"
Xia Yao and Zhong Yingxue said in unison: "No way!"
Ye Ye was so startled she trembled: "Th-then where do I sleep?"
Jiangnan pondered for a moment: "Mm. You sleep in the iron pot!"
[From Ye Ye: Resentment Value +1000!]
He didn't wait until the next day!
Jiangnan cleaned up the villa himself and planned to buy a whole new set of furniture.
Back in his room, lying on the bed, Jiangnan took out his phone.
Entering the webpage, he typed in a piece of source code and directly entered the dark web!
He registered his own account!
Account name: Gourd Hero!
As for real-name registration? A joke!
I already hacked the dark web!
How can you control me?
Then he looked at the dark web's blacklist!
Jiangnan's page had gone gray!
No one was talking in the comment section anymore!
And no one dared to download the data anymore!
The 170 million USD in the prize pool had all been withdrawn!
The Dark Night Army had drawn their swords to the whole world!
In an unprecedentedly tough stance, they told everyone!
Whoever dares to set their sights on Jiangnan again, this is the consequence!
This underground world feast caused by Jiangnan had come to a halt with the strong intervention of the Dark Night Army!
It had suffered an enormous impact!
Everyone was hurting and trembling!
Jiangnan sneered coldly. He had photo evidence of everyone who had contributed to the prize pool!
When the time came, he'd go to each one of them and bleed them dry!
Turning off his phone, Jiangnan eagerly took out the spirit bead!
"Tsk tsk tsk! My second spirit technique!"
"Let's do this!"
He held it in his hand and directly absorbed it!
Three minutes later, Jiangnan's eyes lit up!
Second spirit technique! Please add to bookshelf, five-star rating, and leave comments!
