# Chapter 2404: Are You F*cking Kidding Me?
Because the two of them knew that Innocent was a seeded contestant of the Bose Clan and would definitely participate in the Cosmos Grand Hunt, they had been tailing Innocent for the past two days!
After all, the Bose Clan was humanity's greatest hostile race. Eavesdropping on some intelligence and arrangements for the Grand Hunt ahead of time was perfectly normal, right?
Anyway, Zhang San had nothing better to do, so he called Li Si to come along!
After two days of following, they finally got to see Innocent make a move, so the two of them followed Innocent as he strolled over to the Eternal Ancient Hall!
Qian Li's expression turned serious: "You also know the ultimate purpose of our clan's Cosmos Grand Ceremony. This edition of the Cosmos Grand Hunt coincides with the opportunity to obtain the seed. It is of utmost importance, and you know what to do!"
"As for Jiangnan, don't let him disrupt our normal plans! Let him make a ruckus however he wants. The more trouble he causes, the more it helps our plans!"
"Furthermore, regarding his Black Hole Devouring Star, we currently have no good way to counter it. Once we obtain the seed and everything is settled, then we can devise a plan to kill him!"
"The mission is top priority. Next is to earn enough points and widen the gap with the other races. Killing Jiangnan is the last priority. Don't let him mess things up. Understood?"
When Innocent was mentioned, a cold look appeared in Innocent's eyes, filled with an uncontainable murderous intent!
A lawless outlaw like him, who disregarded the laws of the starry sky and the rules of the era, should not exist in this world!
The world is innocent! That was the sole creed he lived by. As for how to achieve it? Just kill everyone who didn't follow the rules! Kill until no one dared to break the rules!
He was a staunch defender of the laws of the starry sky!
Innocent lowered his head: (︶◠︶〃) "Yes! Innocent will put the interests of the race first! However, I guarantee that after the Cosmos Grand Hunt, there will be no more name of Jiangnan in the starry sky!"
"Innocent says what he means and means what he says!"
If it weren't for me diligently cultivating and working hard to improve my strength, how could that title of the strongest below Star-Devourer have fallen to Jiangnan!
Qian Li smiled: "It's good for young people to be ambitious, but you must still prioritize completing the mission! It would be even better if you could kill Jiangnan!"
"You may go now~"
Innocent nodded and withdrew together with Zong Xu!
Zhang San wiped his mouth, a divine light flashing in his eyes:
(〃ง✧◊✧)ง "Conspiracy! I smell the scent of conspiracy! What mission are you executing? Why don't you chat a bit more?"
"Speaking half a sentence! You'll die alone when you're old! We're all on the same side, what's with all the secrecy? Seriously…"
Li Si's mouth twitched. Your nose is pretty sharp, huh? You can even smell that? Can you swallow what's in your mouth before speaking?
Zhang San followed beside Innocent, mumbling as he walked:
(乛◡乛๑) "And you want to kill Boss Nan? You think you're pretty tough, huh? Since you're so tough, why don't you fly to the sky? You little brat~"
"What mission are they asking you to execute during the Cosmos Grand Hunt? What seed are you taking? Why don't you review it out loud for me to hear? I'm quite curious!"
Li Si quickly shouldered the camera and followed:
(´-﹏-`；) "Third Brother! Even if you nag at him, he won't say it!"
Innocent and Zong Xu walked across the square in front of the hall. Zhang San, like an ostrich, followed beside the two, muttering incessantly, but no one noticed him at all!
Zong Xu couldn't help but speak up:
(๑◔～◔ิ) "Innocent brother? Leaving aside the seed-taking mission for now, are you really confident when facing Jiangnan?"
"He's become even stronger. The power he displayed in the Holy Celestial Kingdom before has already…"
Before she could finish, Innocent stopped walking, turned around, and glared at Zong Xu with fierce eyes: "What? Are you saying I'm inferior to Jiangnan? That you think I'll lose?"
Zong Xu's expression stiffened as she shook her head incessantly:
(ﾟ﹏ﾟ≡ﾟ﹏ﾟ) "No, no, no… I'm just reminding Innocent brother! Innocent brother is the strongest! I know that!"
Innocent said coldly: "Hmph! Jiangnan's dimensional reduction strike is almost unsolvable for others, but not for me! He's not stronger than me!"
"The only troublesome thing is the Black Hole Devouring Star, but I don't believe he can use that power without cost. You and I both know what that power means!"
"This era doesn't need lawless outlaws! Time will prove everything! After the Sequence War, the name Jiangnan will become history, and my name, Innocent, will resound throughout the starry sky!"
Zhang San curled his lips: (ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "What do you mean it doesn't need me? Saying that will make me sad! You're really good at blowing smoke, aren't you? The village can't do without you, old cow!"
"Why are we putting the mission aside for now? Why don't you just say it?"
Zong Xu nodded repeatedly:
(∗❛ั◠❛ั) "I believe in Innocent brother, and I will witness all of this happening!"
Zhang San rolled his eyes: (꒪ั～꒪ั*) "Stop licking his boots! Why don't you make a move? At night in your room, you're doing all sorts of things with Innocent's photo, and yet you're still being so reserved? I'm getting anxious just watching!"
"Why don't you two have some alone time, chat about some spicy topics, and share a few little secrets that no one knows?"
Li Si covered his face. Just what the hell have you been seeing?!
(｡･ˇ﹏ˇ･) "Third Brother! Let's go! It's about time. Brother Jian is calling all human contestants for a pre-war meeting. We need to be there too!"
"We still haven't sent the intelligence back~"
Zhang San was unwilling. He hadn't gotten any solid information. Maybe he should follow them again once they entered the Chuangjie Daxu…
So he balled up the empty snack wrapper in his hand and casually stuffed it into Zong Xu's pocket!
Then he put his arm around Li Si and swaggered away!
And even then, no one noticed!
After Zhang San and Li Si left, Zong Xu's eyes flickered as she looked around anxiously, her cheeks flushing red!
After walking for a long time, she seemed to have finally mustered up the courage!
(◦≥﹏≤◦) "I… Innocent brother! I have something very important to give you! Can you wait a moment?"
Innocent was startled and turned to look at Zong Xu:
(๑◔_◔ิ) "What is it? I'm in a hurry to go back and cultivate!"
Zong Xu took a deep breath, her face turning red enough to bleed: "This is a gift I have carefully prepared for you, Innocent brother. I've put a lot of effort into it. During the Cosmos Grand Hunt, you must carry it with you!"
"Consider it a little token of my affection!"
Innocent asked curiously: "What is it?"
Zong Xu hurriedly fumbled in her pocket, rummaged wildly, then with a red face, lowered her head and handed something to Innocent!
(⋟﹏⋞๑)っ҉̛ "Please accept it!"
Her appearance was exactly like a shy girl confessing her love!
However, Innocent's expression froze directly, and the corners of his mouth twitched:
=͟͟͞͞(꒪ᗜ꒪‧̣̥̇) "Are you f*cking kidding me?"
Zong Xu's heart suddenly jolted. Did Innocent brother not want to accept it? Did he think this kind of behavior was too childish?
So, with tears welling in her eyes, she looked up. But a thunderbolt struck her right on the head, and her entire body stiffened!
(|||유口유)っ҉̛…
What she saw in her own hand being offered was none other than a crumpled ball of garbage wrapper, still stained with grease!
Zong Xu was utterly horrified. What the hell?
Innocent was completely speechless:
(≖_≖٥) "This is what you wanted to give me? Carefully prepared? Put a lot of effort into it?"
"And I'm supposed to carry it with me during the Grand Hunt?"
Zong Xu shook her head so fast it became a blur, crushing the garbage in her hand:
(☍﹏⁰。) "No, no, no… that's not it! It's… it's… huh? Where did I put it?"
Zong Xu frantically searched her pockets, even turning them inside out, but there was no sign of the safety charm!
Lost? How could it be? She had clearly put it in her left pocket this morning! How did it turn into garbage? This was damned mysterious!
Innocent said darkly: "I'm going back to cultivate! You keep digging…"
With that, he vanished!
Zong Xu couldn't help but cover her face and squat on the ground. What the hell was giving garbage all about? She had messed up! Completely messed up!
Where had the safety charm she made herself gone?
In the dimensional wind tunnel, Zhang San hummed a tune, casually swinging a safety charm made of some unknown material in his hand!
Heh heh~ What era was this? Still giving this kind of stuff? How childish! And what use would it be giving it to Innocent anyway?
With his pathetic state, if he ran into Boss Nan in the Chuangjie Daxu, could he even stay safe? Yeah, right…
Break up one couple, gain one satisfaction! Mm~ how satisfying!
This isn't stealing, okay? I swapped it with garbage!
...
Guangke Star Domain, Silicon Crystal Main Star!
Several dozen spherical intelligent brains had gathered here, waiting for the response of the highest intelligence!
Muke, Tiezu, and other Class-A permission holders had all gathered here!
Muke spoke: "Please issue orders, highest intelligence!"
The spherical intelligent brain at the center lit up its mechanical eyes with red light!
"Progress on the development of the latest model of Star-Anti Mechanical Prosthetic Body…"
Muke immediately replied: "Sufficient to be fully equipped and deployed to the battlefield before the Cosmos Grand Hunt begins! The highest intelligence need not worry!"
Silicon Lord transmitted a signal: "Everything proceeds according to the original plan. Although some unexpected changes have occurred, they do not hinder our Silicon-Based race's process of competing for the overlord throne of the starry sky!"
"During the Cosmos Grand Hunt, prioritize obtaining points as the highest level of action! Avoid conflict with humans as much as possible, otherwise it will reduce hunting efficiency!"
"Open up a gap in total points right from the first stage. The early bird catches the worm! Aim to surpass the Bose Clan's ranking in the first round!"
Tiezu offered advice: "But that doesn't mean Jiangnan won't come looking for trouble. The source of the Watt Virus has not yet been eradicated. In this Grand Hunt…"
Muke stated bluntly: "The Star-Anti series mechanical prosthetic bodies were specifically developed to resist program viruses. They have a very strong resistance to viruses!"
"Through the events of the Holy Celestial Kingdom, we have obtained and analyzed Jiangnan's latest data. It is sufficient to play a decisive role in this Cosmos Grand Hunt!"
Silicon Lord continued: "Although we have not yet found a way to counter the Black Hole Devouring Star, we have developed corresponding countermeasures! If Jiangnan targets the Silicon-Based race, it will be nothing short of asking for trouble!"
"We can set this matter aside for now. The problem lies in the Bose Clan's schemes within the Chuangjie Daxu! Based on information gathered from all sides, after careful analysis, we have been able to confirm!"
"The Bose Clan chose the Chuangjie Daxu as the battlefield for the Cosmos Grand Hunt and have continued to hold it for over 220,000 editions. There must be some ulterior motive!"
"Perhaps it is a continuation of the Bose Clan's ambitions from the Eternal Era!"
