Chapter 1859: Returning to the Old Trade?
Ba Di kept nodding, his eyes full of anticipation!
(･᷅ὢ･᷄) "Ah, right right right~ The transfer and distribution of supplies at this stage is too troublesome. It's almost impossible to safely deliver them to the various battlefields!"
"There are beast hordes outside the city fortresses, and any supply transport team will basically come under attack!"
"Isn't there anything more convenient and faster than using Pocket Rabbits for transport?"
"Can you maybe..."
But before he could finish, Jiangnan spat twice, rubbed his hands together, and adjusted his hairstyle!
He pulled out the Vendor Cloth, shook it out, and spread it solemnly on the ground!
He took out the Small Stool, sat down on it, and piled all kinds of goods on top!
With a proud expression: (︶～︶✽) "Since I’ve heard your plea, I, as the Southern God, naturally won't sit idly by. I'll reluctantly set up a street stall again!"
Seeing Jiangnan sitting there setting up his stall again, Ba Di’s forehead dripped with sweat as he shook his head repeatedly.
(⌒ㅂ⌒;) "No, no, no. I didn't say I wanted to buy your goods. I just wanted to borrow a Pocket Rabbit. Not..."
Before he could finish, there was a loud "BOOM" as a Star Pupil Cannon shot straight into the sky, sending out a special signal!
A One-Eyed Species roared upward:
✧*｡٩(⊙๑)و✧*｡ "Brothers, hurry! The Southern God has set up a stall selling Dali!"
In an instant, the One-Eyed Species around Kyoto who saw the signal went crazy, charging toward this place like madmen!
Their single eyes were full of longing!
(ง⊙)ง "Southern God? How are you selling this? However much you have, I want it all!"
For the Pupil Race, Dali was a pure necessity, okay? One gulp, and you instantly go bald, self-sufficient—that's basically a humanoid self-propelled cannon!
Mom will never have to worry about me not having sun to bask in again!
Jiangnan grinned:
(•́.̫•̀) "Not expensive. One bucket of Dali costs just one jin of Spirit Pearls. As long as they're Platinum rank and above, it works, oh~"
As he spoke, he directly took out a Dull Sack, opened its mouth, and even set up a scale in front of the sack!
The One-Eyed Species heard this and got excited to the point of exploding: "I can exchange those broken pearls for Dali? I have them! I have them! I'll go get them right away!"
For the Pupil Race, Spirit Pearls were completely useless. After successive major battles, they had no idea how many they had collected!
In the blink of an eye, the Pupil Race had formed a long line, each carrying a big bag to the stall to buy Dali!
Spirit Pearls were being poured into the Dull Sack like crazy, and in no time, they had collected several hundred jin and still weren't done!
Yang Jian covered his face: (ﾉ)益(ヾ) "You're already at Star Glory rank, and you still haven't forgotten your old trade, huh? Are you addicted to street vending?"
But this time, Jiangnan had learned to be clever. He didn't ask for money; he asked for Spirit Pearls. After all, on Blue Star right now, money was useless, and Spirit Pearls were the hard currency!
Ba Di swallowed his saliva and also wanted to step forward to stock up, but suddenly noticed something was wrong!
∑(°口°๑) "Wait... hold on. What the hell is this sack of yours? It's loaded with several hundred jin of Spirit Pearls, but it still isn't full?"
Jiangnan snickered: (՞ټ՞) "Just noticing? Didn't you want Pocket Rabbits to massively transfer supplies? This Dull Sack is the perfect choice!"
"This sack is woven from the silk of Void Sea Woniy Silkworms. The lifespan of each Woniy Silkworm is extremely short. The silk must be taken before it evolves into a Woniy Butterfly!"
"Then it is refined by constant handling from top-tier Space System experts. Inside the sack, the space is enormous and can hold a large amount of supplies!"
"But unfortunately, its effect only lasts 24 hours!"
At this moment, the strongmen from various nations couldn't stay calm!
Holy crap? A storage ring? A universe pouch? There really is something so magical?
Piers scratched his head: "I've never heard of any Woniy Butterfly?"
But he always felt like Jiangnan was cursing someone, yet he had no evidence?
Woniy Butterfly: εïз ???
"Huh? Am I that useful?"
I didn't even know that myself!
Qian Benying, who had come to watch the excitement, pressed her hand to her forehead: "It was you who 'refined' it, my ass!"
You were already using it before you entered the Void Sea, okay? You really are full of nonsense!
But inside, she also grew excited. She knew the true power of this Dull Sack, as she understood its real use!
It could even capture Bose Bodies!
She couldn't help but rush up:
(งᵒ̌▿ᵒ̌)ง "How much for a Dull Sack? I want a few!"
Jiangnan grinned: (｡･ˇ.̫ˇ･) "One Star Glory Pearl per sack, three Dao Heaven Pearls for one sack! Buy while supplies last. First come, first served, oh~"
Qian Benying swallowed and wheedled:
(︶.̮︶O) "Ehh~ But I'm your employee. Don't I get any year-end bonuses or something? Can't I get an internal price?"
"I'm still a student; how about you just give..."
Jiangnan: (≖_≖) "Lan! Kick this beggar out. Bounce her into the Dimensional Gap and exile her!"
Lan immediately acknowledged the order, lowered her head, and charged toward Qian Benying in a ninja run, even tearing open a Space Rift!
Qian Benying was startled and quickly waved her hands:
(☍﹏⁰) "No, no, no! I'll buy! I'll buy, okay? You stingy bastard!"
So she reluctantly took out Dao Heaven Pearls to exchange for sacks!
While Jiangnan was happily collecting treasures, Bai Kou, her eyes full of excitement, came over and slammed a washbasin onto the Vendor Cloth!
Inside were all kinds of Star Glory Pearls and Dao Heaven Pearls, packed to the brim!
Jiangnan's forehead dripped sweat: (•́ω•̀٥) "Are you... exchanging all these for Dull Sacks?"
Bai Kou nodded like a chick pecking rice. She had seen the power of this thing before!
Jiangnan was overjoyed and began hawking wildly. Even Odin couldn't resist buying a few items!
The strongmen from various nations could no longer hold back and came forward to buy. This was a universe pouch, damn it!
Even though it only lasted 24 hours, it was too convenient for transferring supplies!
For a time, Jiangnan was collecting Spirit Pearls until his hands were soft!
Bai Kou was ecstatic, hiding in a corner and secretly counting her sacks!
Odin carried a Dull Sack and walked over:
(ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey! Bai Kou? This sack..."
Before he could finish, Bai Kou instantly bristled, her lips pressed tight. She turned around and slapped Odin across the face with a loud crack!
(❅▼皿▼)۶Σ(#)꒪ͦ3꒪ͦ)～Puh!
She sent his head spinning to one side, and his entire body froze into an ice popsicle!
Odin: ???
Bai Kou was filled with vigilance. Clutching her Dull Sack, she ran off and disappeared!
Hmph! He must be trying to call my name so I would answer, then he'd put a sack over my head and do some bad things to me!
Do you think my over two thousand years of scheming was for nothing? I won't fall for your damn trick!
Yes, to prevent being sacked, starting today, I won't speak!
Odin quickly melted the ice block, covering his cheek, completely bewildered:
(ﾉ)•᷄ࡇ•᷅) "Is this woman insane or what?"
Jiangnan's eye twitched. Sister Bai Kou's vigilance was way too strong, huh?
Of course, he wouldn't tell everyone the correct usage of the Dull Sack!
Otherwise, how could he avoid being sacked himself? He wouldn't even know who beat him!
For a time, Dull Sacks were selling like crazy. After all, who wouldn't want a universe pouch?
On the side, Piers and Martin were also purchasing large quantities of sacks for Mi Guo.
At this moment, they were holding the mouth of a sack and studying it:
(*⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) "Damned, the space inside is really huge. It can hold a lot of stuff. As the things you put in change size, the internal sack space changes accordingly?"
Piers swallowed: (◞•̀_•́) "It's really amazing. Hey, Martin? Do you think this thing can be used to put people in?"
"If it could be used to transfer civilians, that would be fantastic!"
Martin: (๑◔～◔ิ) "Huh? What's there to be conflicted about? Let's just try it and see!"
Neither of them noticed that the logo on the Dull Sack had already lit up!
Martin made a big leap and jumped into the sack!
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Wow? It really can hold a person? Hey? Why the hell did you seal the mouth on me?"
"Old Pi? Old Pi? Stop messing around, open it and let me out! Shit! How come my ability isn't working anymore?"
Martin panicked. He struggled wildly, even biting the sack with his teeth, but it was completely useless!
He became frantic: (´థ益థ) "Let me the hell out, you scammer! I'm holding in a big poop and haven't taken care of it yet!"
But no sound could be heard from outside. Piers poked the sack in surprise:
(◞Ő꒨Ő)☛ "Oh ho? It even has an automatic sealing function? That's too awesome! Martin? How is it in there? Can you breathe?"
Martin: !!!
(ꐦ°᷄益°᷅) "Awesome my ass! Let me the hell out, you! I'm about to burst!"
"Can't you hear? Are you deaf?"
Jiangnan covered his face. How could someone sack themselves like that?
That was way too brilliant!
He couldn't let them discover the true use of the Dull Sack!
So he cleared his throat twice:
(｡･ˇกˇ･｡:) "Ahem, ahem. To give back to my new and old customers, today I will sell one of my treasured items!"
"This treasure is only sold to the elderly. For just one Dao Heaven level top-tier Spirit Pearl, you can take home 300 years of life!"
As he spoke, he pulled out an Incense Bead from his pocket. Instantly, a astonishing orange fragrant wind filled the entire scene!
It was refreshing and made people uncontrollably salivate. Just one sniff made you feel like you were ascending to heaven!
At this moment, no one could control themselves. They were like bewitched, pouncing over like rabid dogs, slobber flying everywhere!
٩(º﹃º٩)(✧﹃✧◟(✪﹃✪◟)
Piers immediately forgot about Martin in the sack!
He pounced and sniffed wildly!
"What... what kind of thing is this? Can it really make someone live another three hundred years? Sell it to me! Sell it to me! I'm about to die, I don't have two years left!"
"Even if it's ten Spirit Pearls, I'd give them! If I don't have any, I'll go kill something to get them, okay?"
Zhao Dezhu, Wang Zong, Liu Cuicui and the others also flew over, staring at the Incense Bead with straight eyes!
"Child! Are you crazy? Such a good thing, and you're only selling it for one ceiling Spirit Pearl? That's way too cheap!"
"Why don't you ask for more? You're asking for way too little!"
Jiangnan: (•́ω•̀٥) "I've seen people bargaining down, but I've never seen people bargaining up!"
"Ask for more? This thing is worth a planet on the outside. Are you sure you want me to ask for more?"
Piers almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Where the hell was he going to get a planet for Jiangnan?
Jiangnan didn't intend to make money off them. He just symbolically asked for a little to balance his own psychology; otherwise, he'd always feel like he was losing out.
This was basically giving it away for free. As Zhong Yingxue said, good steel must be used on the blade's edge!
Those old-timers, the pioneers, who managed to reach the top in that chaotic era—their talents and abilities naturally went without saying. If they were constrained by lifespan and passed away, it would be too great a pity!
Better to extend their lives, let them shine a second spring like Xiao Yeye!
Continue to glow and heat in this era!
This was also to increase humanity's foundation. The family fortune was built up little by little like this!
Otherwise, what could they use to fight against the Ten Thousand Races?
