Chapter 175: Still That Familiar Taste

Zhong Yingxue tilted her head!
She looked at Wu Liang and the burly man with confusion: "What are they talking about? Is it a challenge?"
"But why are they patting each other?"
Xia Yao bit her lower lip, struggling hard to hold back her laughter!
Meanwhile, Yu Qingqing, whose fujoshi soul was burning fiercely, had already started pulling out her phone to take pictures!
She even let out strange giggles.
"Oh hoo! Oh hoo hoo~"
Lin Chuqing: ...
Jiangnan covered his face and shouted, "Don't just focus on buying shorts!"
"This Detoxifying Soybean is also good stuff! One pill will leave you refreshed and can cure all deadly poisons in the world!"
"Thousand Lakes Island is full of poisonous insects and miasma, so keeping some Detoxifying Soybeans in your pocket is a wise precaution!"
"1000 each!"
"You can't lose out!"
"You won't be cheated either!"
"True value for money!"
Xia Yao quietly leaned in: "Is this the same soybean you used on Luo Tianxiang?"
Jiangnan: "Shh~"
"Then if they eat it, won't they..."
"How else would we get first place if they don't?"
Xia Yao: ???
So he's already starting to cause trouble?
The competition hasn't even started, and Jiangnan is already stirring things up?
Wow! How sneaky!
"Hehe, you're so bad! But I like it!"
So Xia Yao also started helping Jiangnan sell the soybeans!
"This one isn't a scam, it really works. You guys can try it!"
With a beauty like Xia Yao recommending it, the crowd exploded!
Everyone started buying wildly! Partly to win her favor, and partly to be prepared just in case!
What if they actually got bitten by some poisonous insect?
The stall was bustling with business!
Meanwhile, Luo Tianxiang and Han Cheng, leaning against the wall watching the commotion with their new teammates, were grinding their teeth in hatred!
A young man with a side-swept hairstyle, wearing a windbreaker, said coldly, "Tianxiang, is that Jiangnan, the spatial-type you mentioned?"
Luo Tianxiang gritted his teeth: "Who else could it be!"
Now it wasn't just about Zhong Yingxue anymore—Luo Tianxiang had long considered Jiangnan his lifelong archrival!
After transferring schools, he spent a fortune to get into a strong school!
And he was determined to get his revenge in the All-Star Competition!
The side-swept youth sneered: "I'd like to see how well his spatial ability works against me!"
Luo Tianxiang smiled: "With Brother Jiang here, Jiangnan is nothing but a joke!"
Jiang Yun squinted: "Do what you need to do, and you'll see what you want to see."
"Don't worry, Brother Jiang!"
Just then, the bustling crowd at the stall attracted the attention of major news media!
When they saw Jiangnan's face—
"Holy crap! Isn't that the nuclear explosion madman, Jiang Dapao? Why is he here for the All-Star Competition too?"
"Did you forget? He's part of the Dark Night Army, but he's also a high school student!"
"Jiangnan is actually competing! What are the people at the Information Office doing? Why didn't they notify us about such a huge news?"
Hu Shuo's eyes lit up, and he stopped interviewing the person in front of him!
He waved at the cameraman and led an assault on Jiangnan's stall.
In an instant, long guns and short cannons were aimed at Jiangnan!
Hu Shuo thrust a microphone forward!
Jiangnan's eyes widened as he teleported three meters back!
If I let you stick that microphone in my mouth again, I'm not human!
"Hello, Nan Shen! Remember me? I'm reporter Hu Shuo! We've met before!"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. How could he not remember?
It was you during the Ultraman incident too, right?
"Yeah, what's the question?"
"As the former firefighting hero, the later nuclear explosion madman, and China's second spatial-type spirit warrior! You have a considerable fan base online!"
"What are your thoughts on this All-Star Competition?"
As soon as the question was asked, the venue erupted!
"Holy crap! So he's the nuclear explosion madman, Jiang Dapao? The guy who set off a nuke like a firecracker?"
"No wonder he looks familiar!"
"Nan Shen? Damn! I'm a die-hard fan of Nan Shen!"
"Seriously! Everyone says his main job is selling street stalls, and I didn't believe it... Now I do!"
"So handsome! Maybe this is what the other half in my heart looks like!"
"Damn! A formidable opponent! Spatial-types are all gods!"
"Bull! The All-Star Competition format isn't that simple! There are plenty of strong people here!"
In an instant, Jiangnan became the center of attention!
At the same time, the live streams on various online platforms exploded!
"Damn! Nan Shen! I knew he'd go!"
"All-Star Competition! Go wreck them all!"
"Haven't seen him in a few days, still so handsome!"
"I even signed up for membership just to watch Nan Shen!"
"Come back! Get back here! I've been going crazy waiting for you to set up your stall!"
...
"What are my thoughts on the All-Star Competition?"
What kind of weird question is that?
Hu Shuo nodded: "Yes! What are your thoughts?"
Jiangnan shrugged: "If I can watch it, I'll definitely watch it lying down!"
"Yeah! And I'll need watermelon, air conditioning, and WiFi too!"
Hu Shuo: ???
What do you mean watch it lying down?
That's not what I meant!
[From Hu Shuo: Resentment +1000!]
Zhong Yingxue: Pfft...
Xia Yao: (´థ౪థ)σ
The barrage exploded!
"HAHAHAHA! Spam 'lol' on the screen!"
"Damn 'watch it lying down'! Haha, I'm dying!"
"Hurry! I can't hold back the Chinese teacher's coffin lid anymore!"
"I knew it! Nan Shen never disappoints!"
"Haha! That reporter's face turned black!"
"She must be getting back at him for calling Nan Shen a Sailor Moon last time! Haha! Unstoppable!"
Hu Shuo was an old hand after all, so she cleared her throat twice to hide her embarrassment!
"So for this All-Star Competition, what are your goals?"
Jiangnan grinned: "My goal is simple!"
"And what is it?"
Jiangnan was stunned: "What do you mean 'what'? I already said it!"
Hu Shuo: ???
You're lying!
You didn't say anything!
Someone weakly said: "A small goal—that's the hundred million prize for first place..."
Hu Shuo exploded on the spot!
Even a veteran reporter couldn't keep up with Jiangnan's train of thought!
[From Hu Shuo: Resentment +1000!]
Thinking back on her career as a reporter, there were only three interviews that left her completely baffled!
One was the fire rescue! One was the Ultraman who won 50 million!
And this time!
Jiangnan accounted for two of them!
Same old recipe!
Same old taste!
She had the worst luck in the world to run into him!
If Hu Shuo ever found out that Ultraman was also Jiangnan, she might just explode on the spot!
"Why did you stop? Keep interviewing! The ratings jumped 30%!"
The roar in her earpiece made Hu Shuo pull herself together. Just as she was about to speak—
A cold sneer rang out: "Hah! A hundred million? Big talk! What makes you think you can compete with me?"
"You think you're worthy?"
"The championship is mine! The hundred million is mine too! Don't be too cocky—you might just fall flat on your face!"
A young man, 180 cm tall, handsome and sharp-featured, walked over!
His face was full of contempt, and his brown hair stood out strikingly!
Dressed in a white shirt and jeans, his gaze was as sharp as a hawk's as he coldly glared at Jiangnan!
The atmosphere was thick with tension!
