Chapter 1937: Flashing Wealth
Wen Ge, furious to the point of bursting, could only angrily begin repairing Noah Manor!
If looks could kill, Jiangnan would have died a hundred times over!
All 100,000 Canglan troops were used as organic compound fertilizer by Gong Teng. Tomorrow, this explosive news would surely make the front page of Black Street's hot list!
With Jiangnan doing things this way, he couldn't afford to pay for it either, dammit!
Jiangnan grinned widely:
(๑¯ิٹ¯)"You can keep sending people to block me. I've got plenty of ways to toy with you to death!"
"I'm sure Gong Teng wouldn't mind getting a taste of blood a few more times, right?"
Beside him, Gong Teng's branches swayed, and one extended over, weaving into a blood-colored wreath that it placed on Jiangnan's head!
Clearly expressing closeness!
For some reason, it always felt particularly close to Jiangnan!
What it didn't know was that Jiangnan also had a vine-type Spirit Martial within him, considered to be of the same origin!
Wen Ge clenched his fists:
(งᵒ̌yiᵒ̌)ง"Don't get it wrong! Your opponent isn't me! It's the entire Apocalypse Race!"
"If I inform Lady Man Ti of this, do you know the consequences?"
"How long can you stay here? A lifetime?"
Jiangnan pouted: (￢৺￢ꐦ)"Tch~ If you had a move, you'd have used it already. Don't just brandish a chicken feather like a command arrow here!"
"How long will I stay? I'll just extend it for another week right now!"
With that, he swaggered toward the manor lobby.
Wen Ge's lips curled into a sinister grin.
Behind the counter, Qiu Niao sat there gloomily, chin propped on her hand, her bald blood-colored head still dazzling.
Jiangnan scampered over, and Qiu Niao looked at him as if he were a plague god.
乁(ꐦ｀yi´)ㄏ"What are you here for again!"
Jiangnan: (•́.̫•̀•◕)"I just felt bad about it, so I came to give you some money!"
"Two standard rooms, extending for another seven days!"
With that, he directly displayed his Star Source Points.
Qiu Niao's face darkened. Another week? That long?
I can't even stand one day!
So she said extremely reluctantly:
乁(꒪ͦyi꒪ͦꐦ)ㄏ"30 million per night. Pay up!"
Before she could finish, Wen Ge followed up and cut in: "I'll pay 40 million per night to reserve those two rooms of Jiangnan's!"
Jiangnan frowned: "Tsk~ You annoying pest, why are you everywhere? If you've got money, burn more for your ancestors to show filial piety! Don't be disgusting here!"
Qiu Niao said flatly: "40 million, is it? Fine! This establishment accepts reservations!"
Jiangnan muttered: "Reserve yours then. I'll just switch to two other standard rooms!"
Qiu Niao spread her hands:
╮(｡･ˇ_ˇ･｡:)╭"No other rooms. The manor is fully booked!"
Jiangnan's eyes widened: ∑(°口°◕)"What? You're full of crap! How could so many guest rooms be fully booked?"
Qiu Niao!!!
Her body stood upright like a telephone pole, and a low saxophone tone came from behind her.
(̿▀̿yi▀̿̿ꐦ)๛"Watch your wording! Wording! There are none, and that's that. Why would I lie to you?"
Ahhh! Lord Noah! I request a transfer, dammit!
[From Qiu Niao's Resentment Value +1000!]
Jiangnan said apologetically:
(￢ㅂ￢❢)"Sorry about that, I'll watch it. No standard rooms? Then how about a street-facing room worth 100 million?"
Qiu Niao's face darkened: "None of those either."
Wen Ge gave a sinister laugh: "Don't waste your efforts. I've booked every single room in Noah Manor!"
"You think I only booked ten? That was just what I told you. I booked all the empty rooms!"
"Including the star-gazing rooms at one billion per night! In total, it cost me four or five billion!"
"And according to Noah Manor's rules, under full occupancy, once your room expires, if you want to renew, it's not impossible."
"But if another guest offers a higher price, the room goes to the highest bidder!"
Jiangnan's scalp tingled: ∑(°口°◕)"Huh? You booked every room in Noah Manor? Sigh~"
"Does Noah Manor have such a rule? Why didn't you say so earlier!"
Qiu Niao spread her hands:
╮(⑉་⥎་⑉)╭"I thought you knew."
Wen Ge cackled coldly: "No matter how much you bid to renew, I'll only bid higher than you!"
"How many Star Source Points do you have? No matter how rich you are, can you be richer than my Apocalypse Race?"
"I can crush you to death with money alone! Once your room expires, you'll be thrown out of Noah Manor!"
"Then your death will come. Cherish your time—you don't have much time left to live!"
Jiangnan's face darkened. That damn Wen Ge was also a old schemer!
Sneakily booking all the rooms just to snatch mine?
This sucker really went all in!
And Qiu Niao's lips couldn't help but curl into a slight smile. Although having Jiangnan stay was annoying, they'd definitely made a good chunk of change from the Apocalypse Race.
Rich guys booking out the whole place weren't common these days.
"So, how much are you planning to pay to snatch these two standard rooms?"
Jiangnan ground his teeth. When had he ever done a losing deal?
Just then, a voice came from the lobby.
"Whatever Jiangnan is short on, I, Wa Te, can help cover first!"
Wa Te walked in with Ji Ni Tai Mei, and this wasn't the same mechanical prosthetic as last time; this one looked more precise.
Jiangnan was stunned. What was this retarded robot doing here? He still owed him one billion Star Source Points!
Wa Te turned his gaze to Wen Ge:
(〃⊡˙-˙⊡)┘"Yo, we meet again. Was the power core self-destruction from last time satisfying enough?"
Wen Ge was furious, his eyes red.
He'd been taking losses left and right. He absolutely couldn't let anyone ruin his plan!
Otherwise, the four or five billion he'd spent to book the place would all be down the drain!
(ꐦ͡ʘyiʘ͡ꐦ)"Satisfying! How could it not be? You cover? Can you possibly be richer than me?"
With that, Wen Ge angrily slapped his Source Core onto the counter.
"Let's see just how much money you, Wa Te, have! No matter how much you offer, I'll outbid you by one billion!"
"I'm laying it down today—I'm taking those two rooms of Jiangnan's, no matter what!"
Wa Te blinked, somewhat stunned as he looked at Wen Ge. What was with this Apocalypse Race guy?
Going this hard?
If it came to that, he really couldn't beat him.
(☼口☼〃)"Qiu Niao? What's the situation here? Sigh—your fur? And now this style of attire is becoming popular..."
Qiu Niao!!!
乁(zhe yi zheꐦ)ㄏ"Shut up! You haven't had a relapse today, have you? If you relapse in my Noah Manor, don't blame me for dismantling this scrap metal of yours!"
Running into an acquaintance at such an embarrassing moment?
As a cadre of Black Street, under the same Dark Cosmos Entity, Lord Noah, they were naturally old acquaintances.
Wa Te shrugged: "I won't mention it if you don't. Why so much fire?"
"Sorry, Brother Jiangnan, I probably can't help much. Definitely not as rich as Wen Ge."
Wen Ge sneered: "Good that you know your place! Jiangnan! You're finished!"
Jiangnan grinned:
(◕¯ิ◡¯ิ)"Thanks for the kindness, Brother Wa Te, but I don't need your help with such a small matter. It's just money, after all!"
"We can use items as collateral here, right?"
At this point, he had to pull out his ace in the hole.
In the current situation, he really couldn't move out.
Qiu Niao was surprised: "It's possible, but it has to be something precious enough."
With that, Jiangnan opened his Alternate Dimension, casually reached in, and pulled out a square box.
At that moment, both Qiu Niao and Wen Ge's expressions changed dramatically!
乁(˚口˚‧̣̥̇)ㄏ(Ŏ口Ŏ‧̣̥̇)
Origin Spark?
A box made of Origin Spark?
Where did Jiangnan get this?
Qiu Niao's forehead beaded with sweat:
乁(￢﹏￢٥)ㄏ"I suggest you put that thing away properly. If the Sacred Law Council sees it, it won't be a small matter."
Wa Te clicked his tongue: "Brother Jiangnan can even get his hands on something like this? Tsk tsk tsk~"
"But it's too hot a potato. Not many would dare to take it."
Origin Sparks were an absolute taboo in the starry sky!
Under strict control of the Sacred Law Council; once discovered, they'd be confiscated immediately.
Those who privately owned them would also face sanctions from the Sacred Law Council.
After all, the energy contained within had the ability to accelerate the evolution of species.
If a certain race relied on an Origin Spark to speed up their evolutionary process, even just a hundred years,
their strength would undergo earth-shattering changes.
It was something that could threaten the status of major races, which was why Origin Sparks had remained strictly controlled for so many years.
Held firmly in the hands of the Sacred Law Council.
Jiangnan laughed: "Don't worry, I'm not using this as collateral. Instead..."
As he spoke, he opened a Space Wormhole and directly pulled out an Incense Bead from inside.
Then he put the Origin Stone Marrow box back.
The moment the Incense Bead came out, a dense fragrance permeated the entire Noah Manor!
Refreshing the mind and making the mouth water!
Then, a clatter came from upstairs, and Xing Cheng drooled as she rushed down.
٩(º﹃º٩)"Bead! Eat bead! Cheng Bao'er wants to become smart!"
Ai Jiang and Olivia couldn't hold her back no matter what!
Even Olivia was stunned. Nan Shen—Nan Shen actually had Incense Beads?
Wa Te and Qiu Niao's eyes went wide.
Incense Beads? Sigh~
The Origin Stone Marrow box held Incense Beads?
Jiangnan chuckled lightly:
(๑◔◡◔ิ๑)っ❂"Is this enough to stay?"
Qiu Niao unconsciously swallowed:
乁(°△°|||)ㄏ"Enough! Absolutely enough! The market value of one Incense Bead fluctuates between 10 billion and 30 billion Star Source Points!"
"It's a precious item that can be used to exchange for planets, deeply loved by big shots of all races!"
"Currently, the Incense Bead market is in short supply, so the price is quite high..."
As she spoke, Qiu Niao's gaze fell on Wen Ge.
Jiangnan was stunned. This was the first time he had a concrete understanding of the value of Incense Beads.
Holy crap! That's incredibly valuable!
His own bounty was only one billion, and one of Xing Cheng's Baba Beans was worth more than a dozen of him?
Sister Ningning hadn't lied—it really could be used to buy planets, dammit!
And at this moment, Wen Ge's eyes were completely locked on.
Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Jiangnan had a source of Incense Beads? This this this...
Jiangnan's gaze side-eyed Wen Ge.
Mmhmm, very good reaction. Hehehe~
