Chapter 1907: The Best Way to Get Rich
Seeing that Jiang Nan was interested, Wu Xi Ba Ji quickly said:
"Chaotic Star Sea is a famous gathering place for star pirates. Many star pirates use it as their headquarters!"
"They're all big shots on the wanted list, but compared to you, they're nothing!"
"Look, this is the most recent wanted list updated by the Starlight Alliance, with corresponding bounties on each!"
As he spoke, Wu Xi Ba Ji pulled a metal sheet from his pants pocket, flicked it casually, and it turned into something like a tablet computer!
After flipping through it, he marked out the star pirates in the Chaotic Star Sea!
Jiang Nan snatched it: (O⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) "Oh ho? They have such high bounties?"
There were quite a few super star pirates with bounties of millions of star source points!
Those with five or six hundred thousand were countless!
And there were twenty or thirty here!
So it turned out that anyone who violated the laws of the Sacred Law Council would have all their information entered into the wanted list!
They became wanted criminals of the starry sky!
And some high-value, heinous criminals had varying bounties, encouraging people to capture them!
Thus the profession of bounty hunter emerged!
Within the Sacred Law Council, there were even lawkeepers specifically handling wanted criminals, each one extremely powerful!
If he captured all the star pirates in Chaotic Star Sea and handed them over, it would be a staggering fortune, and he would also get to confiscate their treasures!
At this moment, Jiang Nan couldn't help but pat Wu Xi Ba Ji's shoulder with satisfaction.
(︶.̮︶*)ﾉ "Good! Good suggestion!"
However, Ma Ka Du La stomped her feet anxiously:
(งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Second brother! We can't do this! Have you forgotten the oath we swore under the starry sky?"
"After joining Chaotic Star Sea, all star pirates must help each other and unite against enemies!"
"This... this is betrayal!"
Wu Xi Ba Ji pouted: (￢৺￢) "We're about to lose our lives, and you still talk about oaths? The reason I, Wu Xi Ba Ji, have made it this far is because I dare to fight! Dare to act! And dare to sell out teammates!"
"Aren't teammates meant to be sold?"
Jiang Nan: ???
What you said makes so much sense, I can't argue for a moment!
Wu Xi Ba Ji continued: "Don't be fooled by our boss's looks. He's also a vicious star pirate on the wanted list! He's got a name there!"
Pang Bu La Ji, upon hearing this, immediately straightened up, wiped the blood from his face, and looked proud.
(◕ˇ͜ʖˇ◕) "3D! Keep a low profile! Keep a low profile!"
Jiang Nan was stunned: (๑･᷄ࡇ･᷅) "Pang Bu La Ji also has a bounty? Where? I don't see it?"
Wu Xi Ba Ji swiped his hand all the way down: "See? Right here!"
Jiang Nan took a closer look and almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "He's only wanted for 5 star source points! And you have the nerve to say that?"
Capturing him wouldn't even be enough to buy an ice cream bar, right?
Pang Bu La Ji's expression stiffened, then he stubbornly said:
(•̆₃•̆) "Being wanted for 5 star source points still means I'm on the wanted list! That's a different status! You wouldn't understand!"
Jiang Nan rolled his eyes, then his gaze flickered.
(͡°ก͡°) "You wouldn't be trying to lead me to a powerful star pirate's lair so they can take care of me, would you?"
Wu Xi Ba Ji broke out in a cold sweat:
(•́ω•̀٥) "I... how would I dare?"
Jiang Nan snorted: "You'd better not! I'll warn you first, or else you might not know how cruel I can be!"
"Open your eyes wide and take a look!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a Teletubbies outfit and tossed it over.
The three Teletubby brothers first stared, then their eyes widened.
(ଵ口ଵ|||) "Sigh! This... this! Teletubby skin? Someone actually was cruel enough to skin a Teletubby to make clothes?"
(*꒦ິ益꒦ີ) "A devil! He's a devil! He's that skinning maniac, isn't he? After doing such a brutal thing, not only did he not repent, but he also asked us if news of his crimes had spread!"
Pang Bu La Ji knelt on the ground, tears streaming, gently caressing the Teletubby outfit.
(;´༎ຶ益༎ຶ`) "This skin looks so much like my seventh uncle! Seventh uncle! You died so tragically!"
At this moment, all the antenna balls on the Teletubbies' heads exploded. Nothing was more horrifying than a complete Teletubby outfit!
They'd even sewn a zipper on it?
It was as terrifying as seeing a human skin coat!
Jiang Nan put his hands on his hips:
(︶.̮︶✽) "That's right! I, Jiang the Crippler, did it! You'd better do your work well and not have second thoughts, or else..."
At this moment, the Teletubbies were completely subdued, trembling like sieves.
Or else they'd be skinned and made into clothes too?
"From today on, we'll follow big brother's orders! We'll do whatever work you say!"
Jiang Nan smiled with satisfaction.
Olivia, beside him, also turned pale. He was so cruel as to skin the Teletubby race to make clothes?
Although she knew he was twisted, she didn't expect him to be this twisted!
If she made him angry, would she also be made into clothes?
Thinking of this, Olivia shuddered violently.
Having decided to capture star pirates for bounties, Jiang Nan quickly cleaned up the battlefield, pocketing the dozen or so star pirate ships.
He casually picked a warp ship to navigate, following Wu Xi Ba Ji's guidance.
They headed straight for the lair of a star pirate with a bounty of millions!
The previously chaotic star battlefield fell silent again, littered with the wreckage of battle.
No one noticed that the scattered flesh in the starry sky began to squirm and gather.
Eventually, it condensed into a clump of crimson sprouts. It was Rod, the parasite.
Even after being killed thousands of times by the warp bubble, he still hadn't died.
The vitality of a parasite was exceptionally tenacious. He casually found a corpse to inhabit.
"This time, something big has happened. I need to notify the Starlight Alliance..."
He also had a parasitic doppelganger in Thousand Stars City, capable of transmitting information at any time.
...
On the star pirate ship, Jiang Nan sat in the pilot's seat, scrolling through a holographic tablet.
The starry sky was far more fascinating than he had imagined. Although there was no network coverage in the deep void,
major star systems and star islands had the galaxy network coverage.
At this moment, Jiang Nan was like a dry sponge, frantically absorbing knowledge and familiarizing himself with the starry sky world.
He was currently flipping through the Starry Sky Races Handbook, which contained detailed introductions to various races.
It was practically essential reading for anyone venturing into the starry sky, a must-memorize for newcomers.
Jiang Nan flipped through the pages rapidly, using his Soul Imprint to carve the information into his mind.
Several Teletubbies were massaging his shoulders, beating his back, and serving tea.
Beside him, Ye Yuan was still slapping himself continuously, not stopping even after half an hour.
Olivia, on the other hand, was lying on the table, chin in hand, her big eyes sparkling as she looked at Jiang Nan's profile, chattering nonstop.
(ʃƪᵒ̴̶̷˘ᵒ̴̶̷) "Hey, hey, hey—what species are you anyway? Angels are totally fake, right? I've never heard of a carbon-based lifeform as twisted as you, being able to be this strong without even reaching Star Breaker?"
"And you're a space system? How strange. Hmm, I won't ask. Even if I ask, you won't tell me."
"So where's your home? What star domain? How old are you? I'm 107 years old. Where are you from?"
"Hmm? From the Eastern Land of Great Tang? I've never heard of that star domain."
"Hey, you..."
Before she could finish, Jiang Nan's forehead bulged with veins. He slowly raised a finger.
(⇀‸↼ꐦ)☛
This girl was not only narcissistic but also a chatterbox!
Since boarding the ship, her mouth hadn't stopped!
Jiang Nan hadn't said a single word to her from start to finish, yet she kept asking and answering herself.
Anyway, she knew what Jiang Nan was going to say.
She was chatting away happily by herself. Now Jiang Nan kind of understood why her family wanted to sell her.
They probably got annoyed by her chatter, right?
Olivia flinched, hurriedly shut up, and seeing Jiang Nan ignore her, she went to chat with Mo Mo and Ai Jiang instead.
(•︠～•︡) "Ai Jiang—how did you manage to take over this star pirate ship? Is the silicon-based security so easy to crack? Huh? It's a secret? Fine, fine, I won't ask."
(*ﾟﾛﾟ) "Sigh—little sister Mo Mo is a summoner? Awesome! Do you have a blue... what? You're already married? You're Boss Nan's wife?"
"Oh no? Then what does your husband look like? Is he as handsome as him? Oh, no need to pull out a photo. I've seen it. Not as handsome as Boss Nan, but quite nice-looking..."
Mo Mo: (≖_≖)
"Hey... would you like to contract a dimensional creature too? Just sacrifice your tongue to them. I think it's quite suitable!"
Olivia shook her head vigorously, then said:
"No way, I don't want to be a Hero King!"
"Oh, by the way, is it really okay to leave that abyssal race over there? He'll stop in 16 seconds."
Jiang Nan paused. Time was almost up?
So Olivia wasn't completely useless after all!
Jiang Nan teleported to Ye Yuan's side.
With a "smack," the final slap landed.
Ye Yuan frowned:
(#)•︠～•︡) "Tch—what crappy gloves? They don't even work! Didn't my stats reset?"
"Whoa—where is this?"
Ye Yuan looked around the cockpit in bewilderment and suddenly felt that his right cheek was a bit numb.
He raised his hand to touch it and found it swollen high. The intense pain made him widen his eyes.
He drew a sharp breath of cold air.
Sigh—what the hell!
∑(°口°(#) "I just tried it once, why is it so swollen? Did I hit that hard?"
Olivia covered her face. Yeah, he had tried it a "little" bit!
You've been standing there slapping yourself for half an hour!
Jiang Nan put an arm around Ye Yuan's shoulder and grinned:
(乛.̫乛๑) "Don't mind the details! Maybe that pair of gloves I gave you expired and isn't working?"
"I'll give you another pair, right?"
With that, he stuffed another pair of gloves into Ye Yuan's hand. Ye Yuan frowned and threatened:
(ꐦ°᷄皿°᷅) "This pair better work well, or else you're done for!"
With that, he started putting on the gloves again.
Mo Mo: (☍﹏⁰。)
It's over, it's over. A brand-new half-hour is about to begin. A new cycle?
Just as Ye Yuan was about to activate the cycle switch, Jiang Nan grabbed his arm.
(˵ಡ⥎ಡ) "Don't rush! You can try the gloves anytime, right? There are more fun things waiting for us brothers to do!"
Ye Yuan paused and suddenly became interested: "What things?"
Jiang Nan chuckled slyly: "Of course, as bounty hunters, we're going to capture all the star pirates in Chaotic Star Sea!"
"You and I, as brothers, are destined to become the Pirate Kings of the Starry Sky!"
✧*｡٩(･᷅口･᷄*)و✧*｡ "Pirate King! Ore wa naru!"
"From now on, whether the star sea is chaotic or not, we two will decide! Bigger and stronger, create glory again, get rich and live well—it all depends on today!"
Ye Yuan was stunned, his eyes gradually lighting up. Conquering Chaotic Star Sea and becoming the Pirate King? That also sounded interesting!
