**Chapter 234: This Is Unbearable**
Mountain Cat handed the file over: "See for yourself!"
Jiangnan looked down and broke out in goosebumps himself!
This was no desert;
It was a living hell!
The original Sahara Desert was already vast and boundless!
But because of the reawakening of spiritual energy, countless spiritual ruins had appeared! And high-level spiritual ruins were not uncommon!
Years of constant warfare and a lack of regulation meant
The beasts from the spiritual ruins had invaded the Sahara Desert,
Making it their playground!
Gold! Platinum-level spirit beasts were everywhere, not to mention the others!
The Sahara was an absolute forbidden zone!
But while these high-level spirit beasts were dangerous, they were also walking gold mines!
Both spirit beads and spirit beast corpses were priceless treasures!
This led to all sorts of countries! Armed forces! Underground organizations! Mercenary groups reaching into the desert!
Splitting territory, fighting over it, years of unending war!
Killing high-level spirit beasts at any cost, selling them on the black market for high prices!
Like a snowball, it just kept growing bigger!
In the Sahara Desert, humans ate humans, beasts ate humans, humans ate beasts—it was all normal!
It was a true lawless land!
Seeing the terrified look on Jiangnan's face, Mountain Cat rolled her eyes: "Now you know?"
Jiangnan: "I'm just a little Silver rank. You're basically sending me to be cannon fodder..."
Red Dragon smiled bitterly: "But you're the only one who can do it!"
"None of us can crack the DeGulong Biotechnology Company's system!"
Jiangnan was stunned: "Aren't we going to the Sahara Desert? Why are we suddenly talking about a biotech company?"
Red Dragon scratched his head, his face full of worry: "It's complicated!"
"Don't worry about that for now. First, see if you can break into this system!"
He opened a system simulation on the computer.
Jiangnan glanced at it and frowned slightly.
"Mmm~ Gene locks? Biological sequences? How many combinations are there? Who made this? It's a bit complicated!"
Red Dragon looked at him eagerly: "Can you do it?"
Jiangnan sat down: "I'll try my best."
He checked his own skill.
[Skill: Hacker (Advanced): LV0!]
Clearly, this was not enough for the system.
Without hesitation, he dumped skill points into it.
[Added skill points: 100,000!]
[Skill upgraded! Hacker (Top Tier): LV0!]
Countless knowledge flooded into his mind. The system that had been a tangled mess now started to make sense.
His fingers began flying across the keyboard.
Strings of code loaded up.
Mountain Cat stared at Jiangnan in a daze. When did he learn to do this?
Actually, the reason Red Dragon had come to Jiangnan was exactly because of his hacking skill.
You can fly a plane too? And write code?
Is there anything you can't do?
Just then, the office door opened.
Bai Qianxun walked in, a sparkler in her mouth. Her eyes lit up when she saw Jiangnan at the computer.
"Oh ho ho? Whose handsome young man is this? So good-looking?"
"The way you're concentrating is just too charming!"
"Oh ho ho~"
Bai Qianxun let out a series of strange laughs and even dropped the sparkler.
Saliva dripping, she shuffled over and admired Jiangnan from different angles.
His 360-degree flawless handsomeness could shatter any girl's heart, no?
She crouched beside the chair, grabbed the armrest with both hands, and rested her chin on the back of her hands, staring without stopping.
(ʃƪº﹃º)
Mountain Cat darkened: "Has this girl's illness not been cured yet?"
Red Dragon smiled bitterly: "Get used to it..."
"Broke it!"
At that moment, the system automatically crashed, the sequences disintegrated.
Jiangnan sighed in relief, rubbed his slightly sore fingers, and was startled by the face peering at him from the side.
Damn!
Young lady!
Your drool is dripping!
Only then did Bai Qianxun notice the content on the screen!
∑(°口°๑)
Ah, this...
Red Dragon was dumbfounded! How long had it been? Three minutes?
So fast?
He... he just cracked it?
Bai Qianxun's eyes widened as she stood frozen in place!
How could this person crack a biological sequence system?
Who could crack it besides Hulu Xia?
[From Bai Qianxun, Resentment +1000!]
She stood up, her eyes wide, her aura surging, crackling with brilliant electricity around her!
She was a big Gold rank?
Jiangnan: !!!
What the hell?
Bai Qianxun?
The little trash he'd messed with before?
Oh no! This is bad! He's dead!
Seeing Bai Qianxun point at his nose and shout angrily, "Hey! You are—"
Jiangnan moved fast!
He grabbed her finger, interlocked their fingers, pressed them against his own heart, and spoke with deep affection:
"Yes! I am your beloved!"
Bai Qianxun's pretty face flushed bright red. Looking into Jiangnan's eyes, her heart raced uncontrollably!
But then she remembered how she'd been humiliated and got angry: "No! I—"
Jiangnan stepped forward, gently lifted her chin, his eyes tender as water:
"I'm very fickle—so fickle that I fall in love with every second of you!"
Bai Qianxun's eyelashes fluttered, the tips of her crystal-clear ears turning red to the tips!
Yet the moment she thought of that meme, she raged: "But you used that meme!"
Jiangnan pulled her into a hug, his voice deep: "Don't complain. Hold me."
Bai Qianxun: (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)
Even though she was still angry,
Why didn't she feel like hitting him anymore?
No! No! He also told me to go drink milk!
A shame beyond compare!
"I'm telling you—"
Jiangnan held her shoulders, lightly pressed his forehead against hers, and whispered: "Thank you for fulfilling my wish."
Bai Qianxun was stunned: "What wish?"
"Just now! I had the whole world!"
Bai Qianxun: !!!
This... this is unbearable!
Her heart was completely melted!
"Oh ho ho~ ho ho~ ho ho!"
Jiangnan teleported next to Mountain Cat, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Heh... dodged that one!"
Mountain Cat: (￢_￢)
Red Dragon: (⇀‸↼‶)
Bai Qianxun stood there giggling to herself, then suddenly remembered something.
Her face turned fierce, baby-like, with electricity crackling around her!
But gradually the electricity died out, and she returned to a lovesick expression.
A trickle of nosebleed dripped out from under her delicate nose...
She kept switching between the two states, over and over!
That scene... tsk, tsk~
Red Dragon covered his face: "Your lethal power is a bit too strong, don't you think?"
Mountain Cat: "Is this person going to break?"
Jiangnan swallowed, his face full of guilt: "Let's go! Let's get out of here! Talk somewhere else!"
Who knows if she'll snap out of it and beat him up later?
Leaving Bai Qianxun behind, Red Dragon said: "So, have you thought it over?"
"As things stand, you're the only suitable person."
"If you don't go, I won't force you. You still have a bright future ahead."
"If you decide to go, then I'll tell you about this mission. The fewer people who know about this, the better."
Jiangnan slung an arm around Red Dragon's shoulder: "Brother Dragon, look at me—I'm just a little Silver rank."
"I'm weak! The Sahara Desert is super dangerous! I don't feel safe at all, okay?"
"Look! I don't even have a Silver-level spirit technique! Can you bear to see that?"
"Dark Night is poor! I don't even have a place to train normally! I have to share a room with Sister Mountain Cat!"
Red Dragon's eyes widened: ???
Holy crap? Did I just hear something shocking?
Mountain Cat's pretty face flushed: "Pfft! He's talking nonsense! That's not true!"
"But if we're going, it'd be better to give Xiao Nan another spirit technique. Our Dark Night only has two space-type spirit beads, and he's used them both."
Red Dragon's face darkened: "You want a space-type spirit bead?"
Jiangnan nodded eagerly like a chick pecking rice.
Red Dragon gritted his teeth: "Fine! I'll give you one. But I only have this one in my hand, and it's very precious. If I give it to you, you have to bring one more person with you."
Jiangnan was stunned: "Who?"
"Mountain Cat."
Mountain Cat didn't hesitate: "Okay, I'll go."
Jiangnan was about to refuse, but Mountain Cat had already agreed.
His heart felt warm.
Going to the Sahara to fight for my life, and she agreed without a second thought?
Silly Mountain Cat! Hmph! Hmph!
*Sorry, friends—yesterday's extra update didn't make it. I rewrote this part's scenes three times but wasn't satisfied. I scrapped more than ten thousand words of drafts. Finally squeezed this out. I'll try to keep the update pace, but I don't want to just write random filler to cheat you all. Qing Feng wants to give you the best. If updates are slow, please forgive me.*
