Chapter 1783: Look How This Kid Has Been Driven to This Point?
He hadn't eaten any sugar oranges himself, so how could he have gone deaf?
Refusing to believe it, Jiangnan quickly clapped his hands by his ears, producing crisp "pap pap" sounds!
(′◔～◔`)人
He could confirm he hadn't gone deaf!
It wasn't that he had gone deaf, but that everyone who had eaten the sugar oranges had been muted?
So he couldn't hear them?
Holy crap!
Jiangnan finally realized that the Low-Key Sugar Orange's effect stated it concealed all fluctuations of oneself!
So even sound fluctuations were hidden?
And the others who had also eaten the sugar oranges could interact without being affected?
Was he on a different audio channel from those who hadn't eaten the sugar oranges?
Did it have to be so extreme? Wasn't this a bit too low-key?
Watching everyone enjoying themselves in harmony, it was like watching a cartoon with the volume turned off!
Jiangnan then noticed that all fluctuations emitted by everyone's bodies were hidden to a state of nothingness.
Spirit rank, spirit pressure, even the temperature radiating from their bodies, the breath they exhaled, and so on...
This was simply terrifying!
Jiangnan had thought the effect of the sugar oranges would be like Third Brother's, where it made one's presence nonexistent.
But now it seemed it wasn't complete nonexistence; they could still be seen and discovered, but all fluctuations of the body were hidden?
This was a perfect match with the Dull Sack, damn it?
It was perfect for sneaking in and kidnapping people, wasn't it?
And if you added the Teletubbies suit? Then wouldn't they be invisible altogether?
Jiangnan's eyes gleamed with excitement. Could spatial fluctuations also be hidden?
He saw Qian Benying stand up, wave her hands frantically in front of him, and shout at the top of her lungs!
[(๑•̀口•́๑)۶] "Hey! Did you hear what I said at all? Jiang the Deaf! Jiang the Jerk! Big idiot! Heheh~"
Jiangnan's forehead bulged with veins.
(ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "I may be deaf, but I'm not blind. I'm a master of lip reading. You broke working-hide Sakura, you're getting bold, aren't you? You dare to curse me?"
"Rift-Saw Blade, huh~"
As he spoke, the Rift-Saw Blade materialized directly and slashed toward Qian Benying!
Qian Benying's face was full of panic: (☍﹏⁰。) "Crap! Jiang the Jerk, are you for real?"
Then she disappeared without warning right in front of Jiangnan!
Jiangnan: !!!
Wow! As expected! The spatial fluctuations of teleportation were also hidden!
Jiangnan hadn't sensed any spatial fluctuation from Qian Benying at all; she just vanished.
If he couldn't detect it, then it would be the same for Bose bodies!
What about other spatial spirit techniques?
Jiangnan, licking his lips, immediately chased after her!
Qian Benying looked confusedly at Jiangnan, who had teleported toward the north.
(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "Tch—and you say you're not blind? You chased the wrong way, I'm over here, you know?"
"Can he not sense my spatial fluctuations?"
As she spoke, she waved at Jiangnan, but unfortunately, whatever she said, Jiangnan couldn't hear.
Instead, he saw Qian Benying waving and charged toward her with the blade in hand!
Qian Benying: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄...
I must have some major illness. If I had just stayed quiet and hidden, that would have been fine. Why did I call him?
Obviously, Jiangnan was using Qian Benying as a test subject, wanting to further test the effects of the Low-Key Sugar Orange!
Meanwhile, the others in the tent didn't notice anything unusual, since they had all eaten the sugar oranges and were unaffected by each other.
Only Jiangnan's behavior just now was a bit strange.
Only Xia Yao, chewing an orange, had a wolf-like suspicious expression.
(͡°ก͡°)
No! Something's not right!
Xiao Nan disappeared for a whole day and night for no reason, then came back carrying a bag of sugar oranges, constantly urging everyone to eat.
But he didn't eat a single one himself?
And when he first returned, his expression looked a bit guilty, didn't it?
As a long-time victim of little gadgets, Xia Yao suddenly shuddered.
Could these sugar oranges be another snack with unclear side effects?
Was Xiao Nan being inhuman again, using everyone as experimental subjects?
Having become suspicious, Xia Yao immediately felt that the orange in her mouth wasn't fragrant anymore.
Watching the bag on the table, everyone had already gobbled up most of the sugar oranges.
Xia Yao's forehead broke out in a cold sweat, a bad premonition stirring in her heart.
Just then, hearty laughter came from outside the tent!
(๑ᵔᗨᵔ) "Hahaha! What delicious food are you eating? I could smell the fragrance of sugar oranges from far away. Are you hiding such good stuff?"
Then Xiao Chuihuo, Odin, and Mi Ye walked in, smiles spreading across their faces.
Clearly, they had a fruitful day.
"Does anyone want a Dao Heaven Ten Stars peak spirit pearl? I'll give you a few?"
"Hm? Why isn't anyone talking?"
As he spoke, he unceremoniously reached into the bag and grabbed some sugar oranges to eat.
Xia Yao's fur immediately stood on end. If these three ate them and something went wrong causing social death, and they wanted to beat up Xiao Nan, there was probably no one on Blue Star who could stop them.
She hurriedly stood up and stopped Xiao Chuihuo.
(٥･᷅﹏･᷄) "No... don't eat, these oranges are poisonous!"
At those words, everyone who had been eating happily froze, then grinned.
(︶.̮︶) "Hey, Sister Yaoyao, your excuse for guarding your food doesn't hold water, you know~"
(･᷄ὢ･᷅) "Ah, she's from the canine family after all, they all guard their food. Cut her some slack!"
Xia Yao: (ꐦ°᷄◡°᷅) "Hm?"
Xiao Chuihuo rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั〃)
"You little girl, why are you opening your mouth but not speaking? What's wrong with eating one of your oranges? Grandpa here will swap you a spirit pearl for it!"
As he spoke, he directly pulled a huge spirit pearl from his pocket and slapped it on the table. Xia Yao's eyes went wide.
In the moment she wasn't watching, Xiao Chuihuo had already peeled an orange and started eating.
Odin and Mi Ye also dug in.
"That's right, that's right. We've been fighting hard all day, can't we just enjoy an orange properly?"
Xia Yao's expression froze. Xiao Nan... I might not be able to save you.
Just then, Jiangnan came back into the tent, dragging a pouting Qian Benying who looked like a scolded child.
(˘•ω•˘)ง(◦`~´◦)
"Yo, Grandpa Xiao is back too?"
Xiao Chuihuo laughed heartily.
"Where did you run off to yesterday, kid? Why didn't you come back all night?"
The smile on Jiangnan's face instantly froze, because when Xiao Chuihuo spoke, he couldn't hear a sound.
Good grief! These three also fell for it?
He looked at Xia Yao, who had a resentful expression and spread her hands to show she was powerless.
(･´～･｀)
Jiangnan's forehead was covered in sweat. He couldn't let it slip, or else his backside would be in for it.
He could only rely on lip reading to barely make out what everyone was saying.
(･ˇㅂˇ･｡:) "Ahaha, ahaha, didn't do much. I was just scavenging supplies and brought back a bag of sugar oranges."
As he spoke, his hand shot out like lightning, snatched the Dao Heaven-level peak spirit pearl from the table, and stuffed it directly into his Alternate Dimension.
(´ﾟωﾟ)? "My god, who accidentally dropped such a big spirit pearl on the table? I'm such a good scavenger!"
Everyone: (≖～≖)
"You really know how to scavenge. Why not pick from someone's pocket?"
Jiangnan quickly changed the subject.
"Didn't you have something important to tell me? Since everyone's here, you can say it and we'll discuss it together."
Qian Benying looked suspicious.
(′◔₃◔`) "I'm only telling you alone, you know!"
As she spoke, she leaned close to Jiangnan's ear and whispered conspiratorially.
(ﾉ)･᷄3･᷅)(´-﹏-`;)
"Got it?"
Jiangnan: !!!
I can't hear a damn thing, damn it!
"Liu Mang, link me up!"
Liu Mang's mouth twitched. Big Brother Nan is really deaf?
So he directly opened a mental link for the two.
Qian Benying transmitted all the information she had obtained to Jiangnan.
Jiangnan's expression became completely serious, while excitement suppressed to the extreme flickered in his eyes.
Ku Po actually passed the message through Wu Zang's fake death identity?
He was still thinking of ways to contact him, but who knew the message would come on its own?
Tsk tsk tsk—Pyramid, Black Barrier? The alien technology of the Silicon Mechanical Race?
No wonder global communications were cut off. It really was the Holy Star's doing?
This was really explosive news!
Jiangnan grinned.
(๑¯ิٹ¯ิ) "I should know how to restore Blue Star's communications!"
Everyone's eyes lit up.
"How?"
Jiangnan's expression darkened.
"The Holy Star set up a Black Barrier inside a pyramid in the Kingdom of Sand, and its energy wave enveloped the entire Blue Star."
"So Blue Star's communications are paralyzed. To break it, we have to find a way to destroy the Black Barrier device."
Xiao Chuihuo's gaze sharpened.
"Is the information accurate? Don't let it be a trap set by the Holy Star."
Jiangnan nodded.
"Absolutely accurate, but the source must be kept secret. To outsiders, we'll say that Noob Yuan foresaw it in a dream; that's enough to explain it."
"But for something so important, the Holy Star will surely have defenses."
"If we go openly to steal the tower, given the properties of Bose bodies, it won't take them long to all come over to support."
"We don't know what other means beyond our understanding the Holy Star might have."
"Once Carl is on guard and goes all out to protect the Black Barrier device, our chance to catch them off guard and destroy it will be slim."
At this moment, everyone started brainstorming, furiously offering ideas. Everyone was speaking.
But for Jiangnan, he couldn't hear a single word. He had been relying on lip reading to make out what everyone was saying.
But with too many people talking at once, Jiangnan's reactions couldn't keep up.
Jiangnan's expression turned fierce. You forced my hand. I absolutely cannot let it slip!
Every second I can hide it is a win!
Blood Incineration: One Thought Asura! Total mental focus!
Instantly, Jiangnan's blood mist swirled, his body burned hot, and his heartbeat spiked like a ghost's howl, maxing out the scale.
His pupils spun wildly, distinguishing what each person said, processing them all at once.
Before knowing the side effects of the sugar oranges, even if you beat me to death, I wouldn't eat them!
At this moment, everyone looked at Jiangnan, whose eyes were ferocious and body steaming, with shock.
∑(°口°๑) "Holy crap, Nan Shen, calm down, don't be impulsive. We're in a meeting, we haven't started fighting yet. Do you need to go Blood Incineration now?"
Σ(°Д°;) "What has this kid been driven to? Just discussing taking on the Holy Star, and he's already this excited?"
"Good Big Brother is so passionate? I'm getting fired up too!"
Jiangnan: (̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)
"You all better shut up already. It's exhausting trying to figure out what you're saying!"
