Chapter 1781: I Bagged Myself?
Jiangnan was teleporting while fiddling with the system.
"What the heck, little crybaby? He specifically found a place with no one to vent his emotions!"
He thought no one saw, but unexpectedly, the system baby mocked him?
After a round of mutual roasting and threatening the Karbu Clan, the system baby finally admitted defeat.
Only then did Jiangnan seriously check the system.
Since no new prizes had been drawn, Small Fire Jar still required a ten-pull.
Couldn't be exchanged from the system shop with Resentment Points. Ever since the Moon counterattack began, the usage of Small Fire Jar had been terrifying.
He'd also given quite a few to Sister Li Bing, so he never managed to save up. Now the total Resentment Points were only over ten million—not much.
But enough for draws.
As for Skill Points, he'd used a lot back when recording the Sealing Spirit Curse Array and activating the Soul Imprint.
Now only about twenty million remained, not enough for anything significant.
What made Jiangnan speechless was that he was once again in arrears for a hundred billion worth of vendor cloth fees, waiting to be paid.
The reason was that back in the dimensional gap, he'd used the vendor cloth to block an attack from Gabriel and Igor.
Jiangnan was already used to it. Wasn't a hundred billion just something he could scam easily?
Without hesitation, Jiangnan threw in ten million Resentment Points and started a lucky ten-pull.
(face twisted) "Let me tell you, I've been keeping track of every Resentment Point I spend. Since the last time I got the Humanizing Grass, my spending has almost reached fifty million!"
"Adding this ten million should be enough. Don't you dare renege!"
[(angry face) Damn it!]
Jiangnan chuckled. The promise he made to Xiao Jiuwo about becoming human again—now was the time to fulfill it.
It happened to be New Year's, so he'd give it to her as a gift.
Jiangnan hadn't considered giving it to Old Chen. His consciousness had dissipated, his life form had changed, and he'd become a tree without independent will.
Even if he ate the Humanizing Grass, he'd only become a tree spirit, not the original Chen Daoyi.
Besides, a tree couldn't eat Humanizing Grass.
[Lucky Ten-Pull Draw Begins!]
[Thanks for Playing! Consolation Prize: One Irresistible Small Fire Jar!]
[Congratulations! Prize: One Word Spirit Gum!]
...
Jiangnan rubbed his hands, feeling expectant. According to past patterns, after two consolation prizes, a real prize would appear.
But even though the Small Fire Jar was a consolation prize, in terms of function, it was absolutely a divine artifact, right?
He wondered if this time would bring something new. Even if there was no real prize, a powerful consolation prize would be fine too.
It was New Year's—don't make people feel cold, okay?
Just as Jiangnan was thinking this, a new item suddenly appeared in the prize list!
[Thanks for Playing! Consolation Prize: One Low-Key Sugar Orange!]
[Congratulations! Prize: One Dull Sack!]
Jiangnan: (wide-eyed)
What the heck?
A double hit? Is it really New Year's? Has the system baby shown mercy?
What the hell is a Low-Key Sugar Orange? Now he doesn't even need to scavenge for New Year goods!
And since when is a sack a real prize?
What kind of sack is a Dull Sack? It sounds very shady, dammit!
By the time the ten-pull reached over fifty times, the double hit happened, giving Jiangnan a huge pile of sugar oranges and sacks.
Jiangnan was eager to check their functions.
The system prompt sounded again!
[Detected that the host's spent Resentment Points has reached fifty million. Awarding special prize: One Humanizing Grass!]
Jiangnan: (excited) Nice!
The system baby finally didn't play dirty and operated normally!
He had to do a ten-pull during the holidays—was his luck high?
Not bothering with the Humanizing Grass for now, Jiangnan quickly checked the functions of the two prizes.
[Consolation Prize: Low-Key Sugar Orange!]
Function: After consumption, hides all of your own fluctuations. One orange segment lasts 10 minutes.
Stay low-key in life! Act high-key in work! (͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧
Once you eat the orange, you're super low-key!
Let's sneakily take people down!
The low-key experience is super amazing!
Eat and eat again, still craving!
Makes girls swoon!
I GiaO!
Note: Though sugar oranges are good, don't overconsume~
Jiangnan: (scratching head confused)
Is the function description so simple? What does "hide all own fluctuations" mean?
Could it be becoming as low-key as Third Brother?
If so, that would be insane!
Ah, what was Third Brother's last name again?
Jiangnan swallowed, impatiently pulled out a sugar orange, and examined it.
The Low-Key Sugar Orange was only the size of an egg. Its skin was golden yellow, and on the stem were two emerald green leaves, looking very festive.
Peeling the skin, a unique citrus fragrance spread, revealing six orange-yellow segments.
Just looking at it made him drool.
Jiangnan forcefully suppressed the urge to take a bite and try it. Years of experience told him that no consolation prize ever came with good intentions.
Absolutely never test it personally—at worst, social death; at worst, social explosion.
But Jiangnan was desperate to know the function of the Low-Key Sugar Orange.
(frowning) "Heh, why am I worrying about this? It's New Year's, and there's no fear of no one to eat the sugar oranges, right? I'll just take them back and let everyone try."
"After all, no sack of sugar oranges can last a night."
So he casually stuffed the orange into his pocket.
His attention turned to the real prize. Real prizes were always powerful and had no side effects, so they could be used freely.
He quickly checked its function.
[Prize: Dull Sack!]
Function: Kidnapping artifact! Built-in sack space. When using, you must call the target's name. After the target responds, the Dull Sack will automatically generate an anti-biological form for said target.
Once the target is placed inside the Dull Sack, they cannot escape!
After placement, the effect lasts 24 hours before ending!
Kidnapping artifact Dull Sack!
One bag fits a little cutie!
Pack up invincible strong and sell!
How twisted is the Dull Sack?
Depends on how bad you are!
(winks slyly) I'm bad!
Jiangnan: (also winks slyly) I'm bad too!
Ahahaha, damn! What kind of artifact is this!
Like a gourd? You need to call someone's name and have them answer for it to work?
This is a perfect match with the system's auto-identity recognition!
And it can form a corresponding anti-biological form?
What about Bose bodies? Can Bose bodies be bagged? And once bagged, can't they escape?
At this moment, Jiangnan was truly shocked. If this was true, it would be too insane!
He impatiently pulled out a Dull Sack.
The Dull Sack was the size of a normal woven bag, rough all over. The fabric looked like linen, very thick.
At the opening was a hemp rope for cinching. From a distance, it looked no different from a rice bag.
On the bag was an emoji logo: (lip zipped) "shh", making Jiangnan confused.
"It says there's a built-in sack space, right?"
Jiangnan propped open the sack opening and stuck his head in to look, curious.
But there was nothing special. It seemed like a very normal sack.
However, Jiangnan didn't notice that the moment his head entered the sack, the logo on the Dull Sack lit up.
Once the Dull Sack started loading, it automatically began timing—24 hours until failure.
After staring for a while, Jiangnan still didn't see anything special.
"Ah, right! You need to call the name for it to work, right?"
So Jiangnan pulled his head out, cleared his throat, and holding the Dull Sack, shouted loudly:
(sack in hand) "Ahem—Jiangnan!"
Then he teleported instantly to the other side and answered:
"What?"
The moment he answered, the Dull Sack emitted spiritual light, and the logo brightened further.
Jiangnan licked his lips. This should be usable now, right?
He propped open the sack opening and stared again, but still nothing strange.
Was this thing really that powerful?
Not convinced, Jiangnan looked up, propping the Dull Sack open to look at the bottom.
Due to gravity, the sack opening fell straight to his feet, and Jiangnan's whole body slipped into the Dull Sack.
His heart jolted. Not good!
Just as he was about to get out, the moment Jiangnan was completely inside the Dull Sack, the opening automatically tightened.
Shuah—he was bagged!
Jiangnan: !!!
Damn it! I bagged myself?
The moment the opening tightened, Jiangnan felt his abilities and spiritual energy become unusable.
The space inside the sack was completely isolated from the outside.
Sweat poured down his forehead. Is this really used to counter me?
Panicked, Jiangnan began struggling wildly, kicking and tearing.
But he couldn't damage the Dull Sack at all, and he couldn't use his abilities or spiritual energy.
In desperation, Jiangnan even pulled out a Small Stool to smash the sack, but there seemed to be a transparent membrane inside, preventing him from ever touching the inner wall.
The Small Stool couldn't even hit the Dull Sack's body.
(shouting frantically) "Ah! Let me out! Is anyone there! Help me untie the sack opening, I'll pay one yuan as a reward!"
"One yuan is no small amount—can't go any higher!"
But outside, a sack lay in a desolate rock pile, writhing wildly.
No matter how loud Jiangnan shouted inside, not a single sound came out. It really was a "dull" sack!
Jiangnan struggled for a full half hour before giving up.
He remembered the words in the function description: "Once placed inside the Dull Sack, cannot escape..."
Jiangnan's tears streamed: (crying) "Do you have to be so ruthless? I'm the sack's owner, and even I can't escape?"
"Hey—sack, open!"
(desperately) "Who's going to save me? It's so dark in here—I have claustrophobia! I'm scared!"
Who could have imagined that after obtaining the Dull Sack, the first person he'd bag would be himself?
He'd been on guard against everything—even resisted eating the Low-Key Sugar Orange—but still fell into the sack's pit, dammit!
Did he really have to wait 24 hours to break out?
Jiangnan was full of fighting spirit.
(shouting) "A measly sack can't trap me! Which way is Jingdu?"
The sack in the rock pile struggled to stand up and began kangaroo-hopping madly toward the west.
Determined to hop back to Jingdu and find someone to let him out!
But Jiangnan forgot—he was still outside, and there were beast herds.
Back in Jingdu, everyone was baffled. What was Nan Shen doing? Not come back all night?
With his skills, even running to the Moon would have been done by now!
Just as dawn broke, Qian Benying and Liuhua, along with a figure draped in a black robe, were teleporting wildly across the Huaxia land.
Along the way, Qian Benying saw the Beast Martial Legion rampaging across the land and the Great Wall spanning the sky like a defensive barrier.
She was shocked by Huaxia's means of dealing with disasters. Was this the foundation of a great nation?
How many countries had already given up under the onslaught of the spirit calamity? But Huaxia was still fighting.
Just then, Liuhua let out a shout of surprise.
(pointing excitedly) "Oh wow—Ying-chan, what kind of spirit beast is that? Huaxia really is vast and abundant—there are even sack monsters?"
In the distance, tens of thousands of beasts surged, their eyes filled with excitement, as if they'd found a fun toy.
And ahead of the myriad beasts, a sack was hopping incredibly fast, leaving afterimages as it madly bounced to escape.
Even Qian Benying was stunned.
(wide-eyed) "Is there really such a species of spirit beast? What's going on?"
The black-robed Musashi said solemnly, "Never mind, we don't have time to worry about some sack monster. Let's not interfere."
"Time is tight. We need to see Jiangnan as soon as possible."
Qian Benying nodded, ignoring the sack monster, and teleported with the two toward Jingdu. Liuhua even took two photos as a record.
Inside the sack, Jiangnan was drenched in sweat and full of indignation.
(anguished) "Just you wait! Wait for me! Playing with me? Once I get out of this sack, I'll chop all of you up to fill Xing Cheng's teeth!"
"Grandma's leg! This Dull Sack has ruined me!"
