Chapter 2556: I! I Object
Watching Jiangnan and Black God wrestling together, groping each other!
The Ye sisters and Du Lingyu couldn't bear to watch anymore? These two were supposed to be beings called gods after all!
The entire Dimensional Gap was his, was it really okay for you to grope him like that?
As for Zhong Yingxue and the others, they were already used to it!
Just as Jiangnan was about to perform the "Ocean Bottom Moon-Scooping" technique, Nightingale suddenly came to report!
(｡･ˇ～ˇ･) "Nan Shen? Qingnong of the Star Farming Clan has come to visit, saying he brought heavy gifts to discuss the reward for you keeping their Saintess completely safe until the end of the Cosmos Grand Hunt!"
"See him or not?"
Upon hearing this, Qingke, who was inside the Jin Kela sack and had thought her life was hopeless, began struggling wildly!
_(థᯅథ#ゝ∠)_ "Grandpa Qingnong, save me! Save this poor child! I'm so miserable! I never want to get close to the Jiang Devil again for the rest of my life! Boohoo..."
Jiangnan was taken aback. Oh wow? A reward for protecting their Saintess?
This old man sure knew how to talk!
But Jiangnan grabbed the Jin Kela sack, hugged it in his arms, and waved his hand:
Bag(๑︶～︶〃) "Not seeing him, not seeing him. I haven't had my fill of this luck weapon yet... I'll return it to them once I'm bored with it!"
How could he let the Star Farming Clan redeem Qingke so easily?
After all, the easier something was to get, the less it was cherished. Jiangnan was thinking of their good!
Nightingale nodded and vanished in a flash!
Meanwhile, outside the spatial rift, Qingnong and his party were waiting anxiously, staring at the Dimensional Gap as if their eyes would pierce through it!
Seeing Nightingale return, their eyes lit up!
(ʃƪŏ﹏ŏ) "What did Lord Nan Shen say? Can we..."
Nightingale shook her head:
(◦ˇ◠ˇ) "Sorry! Lord Nan Shen said he won't see you. He'll return her to you once he's bored with playing with her!"
Upon hearing this, Qingnong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. "Played with" and then return? That's insane!
Would they even get her back in one piece?
Qingtian said anxiously: (งᵒ̌﹏ᵒ̌)ง "Grandpa Qingnong! We... we can't just watch Ke'er suffer like this, right? What if..."
But Qingnong's big hand pressed down on Qingtian!
What else could they do? Try to snatch her by force?
After the Cosmos Grand Hunt, all the Starry Sky Races had witnessed humanity's strength. It wasn't something the Star Farming Clan could contend with at their scale!
They could only rely on Jiangnan's mood!
Qingnong's old face was bitter:
(〒﹏〒;) "Then... then tell Lord Nan Shen to take it easy and not break her. My clan has prepared generous gifts to thank Lord Nan Shen!"
"If he gets bored, have him contact us anytime!"
After saying this, he could only sigh and lead his people away. Nightingale's mouth twitched. Had they misunderstood something?
With Jiangnan being that little brat, what could he even "play"? With so many beauties around him and him not playing, why would he set his sights on their Saintess?
Just as the Star Farming Clan was sent off, news finally came from the Sacred Law Council in Chenguang City!
They said the point tally was complete, and the final results of the Cosmos Grand Hunt would be announced!
At this moment, all the Star Sequence representatives gathered outside Chenguang City!
On the Sequence Throne, Yu Gen's face was extremely dark, while Noah and the others were beaming with smiles!
Clearly, they had just gone through a fierce round of bargaining!
Jiangnan was also brimming with excitement. It was finally here, wasn't it?
Noah teased: (◕ಡωಡ) "You're the leader. Go ahead and announce it!"
Yu Gen ground his teeth. Announce what? To embarrass himself?
He then cast a cold glare at Zhiyin!
(￢益￢٥) "You! Go!"
Zhiyin shuddered, almost scared to tears. Trembling, she stepped up to the podium, her voice quivering!
(☍﹏⁰。) "After 13 days, the Cosmos Grand Hunt has concluded triumphantly. Its speed has directly broken all previous historical records. Thank you to all the race representatives for presenting us with such a wonderful spectacle. Your figures will be forever etched in the Starry Sky's memory!"
"Now, the final results of the Cosmos Grand Hunt will be announced. Please take a look!"
With a wave of her hand, a massive projection appeared over Chenguang City, displayed in the starry sky!
[Star Sequence Race Points Total Ranking!] (Unit: Ten Thousand)
1. Bose Clan: 1147
2. Silicon-Based: 1069
3. Dark Cosmos Entity: 996
4. Humans: 995
5. Apocalypse Race: 666
6. Gamma Clan: 666
7. Chaos Race: 371
8. Insect Race: 366
9. Stardust Clan: 322
10. Celestial Star Race: 322
11. Angel Race: 297
12. Pupil Race: 285
13...
As soon as the ranking was released, the venue erupted in noise!
In previous hunts, the top three would have points exceeding ten million, but this time only the top two broke that mark!
What was even more terrifying was that both the Silicon-Based and Bose Clans hadn't made it to the finals, yet they still firmly held first and second place!
And what was even more eye-catching was ranks 3, 4, 5, and 6!
Jiangnan had demonstrated with force what it meant to control the score to the limit. Both Humans and Dark Cosmos Entity had the chance to break ten million, but they'd stubbornly held back. Presumably, Jiangnan didn't want to draw too much attention?
But you were already eye-catching enough!
As for the Insect Race, Chaos Race, Stardust Clan, and Celestial Star Race behind them, they'd fallen short, with a huge gap in points!
After all, they hadn't gotten a share of the final cake, having been cleared out by the Renqima Legion!
The Stardust Clan and Celestial Star Race had underperformed, dropping consecutive rankings, ending up at the bottom of the top ten. The Angel Race had fallen out of the top ten altogether!
Meanwhile, the Pupil Race, which had risen unexpectedly, was almost overtaking the Angels!
As for the Hidden Spirit Clan, Parasite Entity, Metal Clan, Crystal Clan, Carbon Silk Clan, and others, because of their unfortunate involvement in the siege against humanity, they'd exited early, causing their rankings to drop!
Each of them looked as if they'd been eating bitter melons!
The point gap they'd opened here would be hard to catch up during the Sequence Offensive and Defensive Battle, wouldn't it?
Who knew what price would have to be paid?
At this moment, Noah's face was flushed with pride. He gave Jiangnan a look of approval, and Jiangnan grinned back!
Under these circumstances, this was already a great result for the Dark Cosmos Entity. Jiangnan hadn't taken the third spot but instead secured the Dark Cosmos Entity's ranking. That saved face for them while not losing points for himself!
As for the Apocalypse Race and Gamma Clan, they'd just hitched a ride. In previous hunts, relying on themselves, they could never have gotten over six million points!
Zhiyin smiled: (∗❛ั◡❛ั) "Everyone, don't rush. This is only the preliminary ranking. The Star Hunter Rankings haven't been announced yet, and the extra points haven't been calculated!"
As she spoke, the Star Hunter Ranking was also displayed!
1. Jiangnan: 621
2. Gangxiu: 619
3. Ye Yuanwei: 543
4. Du Lingyu: 443
5. Bannilu: 401
6. Chong Kunchong: 298
7. Hunyuan: 250
8. Yao Gen: 206
9. Tianhuixing: 200
10. Xiao Chuihuo: 147
11. Ye Jinse: 138...
...
As expected, Jiangnan had indisputably taken the top spot on the Star Hunter Ranking, smoothly becoming the number one big brother and earning the title of Star Hunter King!
He could add an extra one million points for humanity, with 900,000 for second place, and so on...
Not only Jiangnan, but the leaders of the Renqima Legion who had been pushed forward to compete for position were mostly on the list, with very high rankings!
Jiangnan immediately propped his hands on his hips and laughed heartily!
(๑⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "As expected! I was destined to be the Star Hunter King! Ahahaha!"
"Why did you guys bother with all that? Shouldn't you have just gone through the motions and awarded me the title of Star Hunter King from the start? Why wait until I've killed over six million people to give it to me? Isn't that just taking off your pants to fart?"
All the Sequence representatives' faces turned green. How dare you be so arrogant?
After the Cosmos Grand Hunt battle, Jiangnan had displayed his strength completely, the undisputed number one under the Star Swallower level!
Even if he hadn't gotten first place in total points, he was still the uncrowned king!
But even after scouring the top hundred of the Star Hunter Ranking, there wasn't a single name from the Bose Clan!
Miao Ke stood up and immediately announced:
[┐≖▿≖┌] "Regarding the Bose Clan's open violation of the rules, the Sacred Law Council has deliberated and makes the following rulings!"
"The Bose Clan's Star Hunter Ranking reward points are voided, and the corresponding bonus points they should have received will be deducted from the Race Points Ranking as a punishment!"
"Furthermore, for knowingly breaking the law and affecting the fairness and justice of the Cosmos Grand Hunt, compensation will be made: within 10 years, all ticket prices of the Xingluo Round Hall's Star Ruins will be discounted to 30% off, and the head tax for half of the slave species will be waived!"
"Within 10 years, Bobo Star Navigation ticket prices are 20% off, and the Bose Clan will provide one year's profit share from the Beimian Star Mine Bureau as compensation to all Star Sequences! Additionally, the Bose Clan must issue a public apology!"
One item after another, they were cutting flesh off the Bose Clan!
They didn't care about resources or money; for a clan with tens of billions of years of accumulation, this was just pocket change!
Normally, for this level of violation, all the points earned by Zhongxu Wuzui should have been completely stripped away!
But if that happened, the Bose Clan's points wouldn't be much, and their ranking would drop all the way to their grandmother's house!
For the Bose Clan, face was more important than money, so they naturally chose to cut flesh to preserve their ranking!
After Miao Ke finished speaking, he cast a glance at Yu Gen!
[┐乛▿乛┌] "Time for the public apology!"
At this moment, the other Star Swallowers looked at Yu Gen with teasing expressions!
Yu Gen's face was as black as pot bottom ash. The cost of saving Innocent was not small!
A public apology? How could he do something so humiliating himself?
(̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄ "Di Chou? Go!"
Di Chou: ???
ᕦ(°口°๑) "Huh? I..."
(̿▀̿益▀̿̿ꐦ)̄ "Go!"
Di Chou's face turned even blacker. Could he refuse? Among the Bose Star Swallowers, he had the lowest status!
Di Chou teleported in front of Julang Cheng, closed his eyes, and gritted his teeth:
(̿▀̿曲▀̿̿ꐦ)̄ "I deeply apologize for the Bose Clan's actions that violated the rules during the Cosmos Grand Hunt, affecting the fairness, justice, and openness of the Sequence War!"
"Our clan has received the due punishment and made corresponding compensation. Of course, whether the plan is feasible still requires the common judgment of the Starry Sky Races!"
"Who agrees? Who objects?"
By this point, Di Chou's expression was extremely twisted, with veins bulging on his forehead, looking like he wanted to eat someone!
All the Star Sequence representatives could only curl their lips.
Who the hell would dare to object? Even if the punishment was light and didn't even scratch the Bose Clan's surface, so what?
They were the Starry Sky Overlords. Try objecting?
Whoever dared to raise a hand in objection, Di Chou would probably turn around and kill them, right?
As soon as the question was asked, the starry sky fell silent. No one spoke up. Anyway, they had already gotten the benefits. How the Bose Clan was punished didn't concern most races!
"I think it's fine. The Bose Clan's attitude in admitting fault... is quite sincere, isn't it?"
"Mmhm! And they've made compensation and taken punitive measures. I agree with this plan. As long as they don't repeat the mistake next time..."
Once someone took the lead, everyone followed along. Who would dare to cross the Bose Clan?
Well, someone actually did dare!
Jiangnan's eyes widened, and he immediately raised his hand:
(ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "I! I object!"
