Chapter 2204: You Stay Home and Don't Move Around, I'm Going Over There to Rob a Mine
As soon as this was brought up, Chong Feiyu immediately became excited:
(งᵒ̌ںᵒ̌)ง "Then what are we waiting for? Let's head to the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang right now? Time waits for no one. Who knows how long we can keep our prison break a secret?"
"The sooner the better. Let's smash that Insect B*tch, take back the Celestial Spirit Cocoon, regain control of the swarm, reclaim our assets, and return to the peak of bug life. This is our chance, right?"
Originally, Chong Feiyu thought there was no hope, but seeing that Black God was on Jiangnan's side, she immediately had a renewed glimmer of hope!
If they could somehow trick Insect B*tch into the Dimensional Gap, Black God could just slap her into submission, right?
Taking back the Celestial Spirit Cocoon would be as easy as sprinkling water, wouldn't it?
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: (꒪ͦ～꒪ͦ*) "I can tell what you're thinking with my little toe. It's not that easy!"
"We don't even know the specific situation at the Starry Sky Mine. How are we supposed to take it back? Besides, Insect B*tch isn't stupid. The power controlled by a Star-Swallowing Lord is extremely terrifying!"
"One wrong move and we'll all be wiped out. Let's figure out the situation over there first! If you want to get your cocoon back, you'll have to listen to me!"
Chong Feiyu shrunk her neck:
(′◔～◔`) "Oh~ O-Okay then~"
Even without thinking, Jiangnan could predict that the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang must be a place of conflict between major races and factions!
Where there are interests, there are disputes, let alone such a massive resource output location like the Starry Sky Mine!
How to take it, how to reclaim it, how to deal with the Insect Race afterward, and how to firmly grasp the mineral resources—all these were problems that needed solving!
Everything could only be decided after arriving at the mine and understanding the specific situation!
"First, let me contact Ai Jiang and check on the home front. Let's hope there aren't any real moves over there."
It wouldn't be good if another misunderstanding occurred!
Everyone was stunned. Contact who?
Just then, Jiangnan waved his hand and opened up an Alternate Dimension. A spherical Ai Jiang little spirit flew out from inside!
꒰ঌ❍໒꒱ "Ai~ Master! Ai Jiang missed you so much~"
As she spoke, she circled around Jiangnan!
Jiangnan grinned: "I missed you guys too. First, let's contact Brother Jian. Make sure the communication is secure!"
Even though he had only been locked up for three months, Jiangnan felt like it had been a lifetime!
Fortunately, Jiangnan had brought a backup of Ai Jiang along. As for Silicon-Based products, it was better not to use them for now.
If the news leaked and the Silicon-Based found out, things would be problematic.
After all, the Silicon-Based intelligence gathering capabilities were quite terrifying!
"Ai~"
The little Ai Jiang spirit made a holographic call to Yang Jian!
……
Meanwhile, at the Central City Office of Taoyuan Village, Taoyuan Star!
Yang Jian was currently sitting at his desk, his vertical third eye opened, rapidly browsing through the latest plans and arrangements!
However, he seemed a bit distracted. The plan's preparation had reached the execution phase. The whereabouts of the major players, relatives, and friends had all been investigated!
Even the personnel for the kidnapping had been decided. All that was left was for Yang Jian to give the order, and the execution could begin!
Just then, Yang Jian narrowed his three eyes with a ruthless glare, slowly tightening his grip on the carbon pen in his hand!
At that moment, Yang Jian's accompanying assistant, Ai Jiang, suddenly powered on and looked at Yang Jian with excitement in her expression!
ᥬ(๑°◡°๑)᭄ "Brother Jian! Master is calling. Should I patch it through?"
Yang Jian absentmindedly said, "Patch... Huh?"
∑(°口°๑) Wait, what? Master is calling? Ai Jiang's master? That would be...
Before Yang Jian could even ask, a holographic projection had already appeared!
In the projection, Jiangnan's face wore a bright smile, his complexion ruddy. He casually raised his hand in greeting:
(๑ﾟ◡ﾟ)ﾂ "Yo~ Brother Jian? What time is it over there? You're not asleep yet?"
"How's Sister-in-law doing? Have you managed to make a baby yet? You need to work harder! Want me to arrange some chives or something..."
Yang Jian's eyes widened as he shot up from his seat:
Σ(＠ロ＠;) "J-J-J-Jiangnan? Where are you calling me from? You're out?"
He couldn't even process it for a moment!
Jiangnan scratched his head:
୧(๑•̌～•̑)ˀ̣ˀ̣ "I'm in the Dimensional Gap, why? Did I get out too early? It's three days earlier than the agreed time."
"But I heard that the Dimensional Star Navigation has already been fully launched? Hasn't it happened yet? Or... should I go back and stay in the Ming He Death Prison for a few more days?"
Yang Jian's mouth hung wide open. He didn't know what to say for a moment, completely frozen in place!
You're out? How are you out?
You can just come and go from the Ming He Death Prison as you please?
Wait, the Dimensional Star Navigation had just been fully launched, and Jiangnan found out immediately and got out?
Holy crap...
Jiangnan waved his hand: (•̆～•̆)ฅ "Hey~ Brother Jian? Say something! Hey! Ai Jiang, is your network bad? Ran out of data? Brother Jian is buffering?"
Ai Jiang: ꒰ঌ❍໒꒱...
What the heck do you mean by "bad network"? What is "data"? There's no such thing in the Starry Sky!
Finally, Yang Jian, who had processed the information, came back to his senses. He stood in the office and burst into laughter, even shedding tears of joy!
What was he thinking? Why was he worried about Jiangnan?
Sure enough! There was no place in the Starry Sky that could hold Jiangnan!
"You're back! It's good that you're back. Welcome home!"
The simple phrase "Welcome home" almost made Jiangnan lose his composure. His nose tingled, and he wiped it with his hand.
"Everything's good back home? Nothing happened? The Dimensional Star Navigation has really been fully launched, right?"
Yang Jian smiled: "Don't worry, everything's fine. We're developing in all aspects. Although there are constant small problems, they can all be solved. Just come home safely!"
"Even if we're in the wrong for the prison break, now that the Dimensional Star Navigation is fully online, even if the Sacred Law Council makes a move, they can't do anything to us!"
"After these past few months, humanity has firmly established its foothold in the Starry Sky!"
Jiangnan felt relieved to hear that: "That's good. What about Xuexue and the others? Are they home? Do they miss me or anything?"
Yang Jian laughed: "I knew you'd ask. The Jiangnan Squad isn't home. They're currently making waves in the Red Sun Star Domain. They've been stirring up quite a commotion and are always in the news lately!"
"Xiao Xuexue and Xia Yao have both reached the Transcendent Realm. Wu Liang is close too. You need to hurry up and not fall behind!"
"Many of our people aren't home. They've all gone out to explore the Starry Sky, sharpen their skills across the cosmos. This way, their power grows faster!"
"They're all human pioneers at heart, can't sit still. It's good for them to go out and train. As for safety, don't worry. They've all contracted Dimensional Creatures and can retreat into the Dimensional Gap at any time. Hey, Jiangnan? Are you buffering over there?"
Just then, Jiangnan stood frozen with his mouth wide open, the news hitting him like a thunderbolt!
∑(°口°๑) "Huh? Transcendent Realm? Three months? I was only locked up for three months, and they both already... Ahhh!!!"
A scream of unwillingness to accept reality echoed. Not only had he fallen behind, but he'd also lost two stars!
Xuexue and Lang Mie had actually reached the Transcendent Realm! They were trying to outdo him!
Damn! He wasn't going to be the last one to reach Transcendent, was he?
Xiong Er couldn't be faster than him, right?
Yang Jian laughed heartily: "Want me to call the squad back? Or you could go directly to the Red Sun Star Domain to see them?"
"Don't keep rushing me. At least I have company. You're not getting any younger either. You should start feeling the pressure!"
Jiangnan shook his head like a rattle-drum:
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ≡ﾟ﹏ﾟ) "No no no! Don't notify them yet!"
"Since Xuexue and the others aren't home, I won't go back for now. Keep my prison break a secret for now. Don't spread it around!"
Yang Jian was stunned: "You won't tell them? They've been so worried about you. If you do this..."
Jiangnan shook his head: "I'm about to head to the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang. If the news leaks, it'll be hard to act. Might as well take this opportunity to stay hidden and strike from the shadows!"
"If Xuexue and the others find out, they'll definitely want to come and join in the action. That would increase the chances of exposure and arouse suspicion. A lot of people are watching!"
"At least until the Sacred Law Council confirms my prison break, it's better to stay hidden!"
That was only part of the reason. The main reason was that he was currently *bald* and at Dao Heaven Six Stars!
How could he face them like this? He'd be laughed to death! What if he was looked down upon and they ran off with some other handsome guy?
In front of the people he cared about, he had to maintain a cool and charming image!
He'd wait until his hair grew back!
Even Jiangnan himself didn't realize how obsessed he was with his hairstyle.
Yang Jian nodded: "That's fine. But don't blame me when you get beaten up later. You're the one asking me to keep it a secret, not the other way around!"
"By the way, what are you going to do at the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang?"
Jiangnan said casually:
(︶.̮︶〃)ﾉ "Oh~ Just going to rob a mine from a Star-Swallowing Lord!"
"If it works out, humanity won't have to worry about mineral resources for a long time to come! If I'm lucky, I might even bring back a Star-Swallowing Lord to guard the Galaxy Star Domain, along with about eight thousand Star-Breaker level powerhouses!"
"If I'm unlucky, I'll still have about eight thousand Star-Breaker level powerhouses!"
"Come, come! Don't be shy. All of you, come and say hi to Brother Jian. We're all family from now on!"
With Jiangnan's command, Taro, Sona, Samo, Boden, and the others stepped forward, fierce grins spreading across their menacing faces!
They said in unison: "Hello, Brother Jian!"
Chong Feiyu even raised her hand:
(ﾟ◡ﾟ)ﾂ "Yo~"
Yang Jian was frozen again, staring in shock at the holographic projection showing nearly eight thousand members of the Bad Guy Gang!
They were all vicious, scar-faced thugs from every race, looking like they couldn't possibly be good people. Their smiles could scare little kids!
These... these were all at least Star-Breaker level! And there were quite a few Planet Destroyers among them, right?
Nearly ten thousand people? These... were all prisoners from the Ming He Death Prison?
Heavens! Jiangnan didn't just escape alone, but he brought nearly ten thousand prisoners out with him?
How the hell did you manage that?
How terrifying would this force be if unleashed into the Starry Sky?
And even more terrifying was that the leader of these criminals was Jiangnan, known as the "Star Editor"?
Taking these guys to the Beimian Xingkong Kuangchang? How much destruction could they cause?
Were you really sure you could keep your prison break a secret?
Wait, what did Jiangnan just say?
He was going to the mine to rob a Star-Swallowing Lord's mine? And if he succeeded, he could bring a Star-Swallowing Lord back home?
Yang Jian was completely overwhelmed by the information Jiangnan had just dropped, his brain unable to process it all!
