Chapter 2612: King Bomb
The Star Devourers were all stunned!
What does this mean? What kind of heaven-defying treasure is it that even after seeing it, you still have to take a slap?
They had done detailed research on Jiangnan's methods, naturally knowing what those gloves were used for!
As long as you get slapped, you lose your memory on the spot, not remembering anything that happened!
Manti's face turned pale: (￢﹏￢٥) "We've already talked this far, do we really have to get slapped?"
"We're Star Devourers after all, we still have some face to save..."
Coming here at the risk of their lives to attend this dimensional summit, and now they have to take a face slap?
Human hospitality is really 'enthusiastic' enough!
Bennime swallowed hard: "Isn't this unnecessary? Even if we finish watching and make a decision in our hearts, once you slap us, we'll forget everything!"
"Then wouldn't the slap be for nothing?"
Jiangnan squeezed his little fist and smiled confidently: (◕ˇꇴˇ◕) "Thoughtful as I am, how could I possibly overlook such an important detail?"
"Here's the deal: if you're not at ease and insist on seeing my chips, you can look, but afterward, you have to have your memory deleted!"
"After making your decision, write it down on your palm. Later, even if the memory disappears and you forget everything you just saw, you can still know the importance of my chips and the decision you made through the mark left behind!"
"Think it over before you answer."
Now, the major Star Devourers were uncertain. What on earth was it? Why all this mystery?
Jiangnan wore a smug and mysterious expression!
The ultimate chip Jiangnan was talking about was naturally the Wisdom Sect terminal, which should have been kept absolutely confidential!
But with the implementation of the Human Ascension Plan, it was only a matter of time before the terminal's existence was exposed!
After all, it was impossible for humanity to achieve a technological upgrade in such a short time without some external help!
As long as the Silicon-based race analyzed it a little, they would know!
So he wasn't afraid of Noah and the others finding out. Besides, Silicon would inevitably take various indirect measures against humanity regarding the terminal, obstructing human development!
At times like this, they needed the allies of the Carbon Alliance to stand up and help back them up!
For this reason, the allies also had to get a share of the terminal's benefits. Only with something beneficial would they take action!
All the decisions Jiangnan made had been carefully considered in advance; it wasn't just reckless talk!
Yang Jian couldn't help but glance sideways. Even if it wasn't kept secret, the terminal matter wouldn't stay hidden for long!
Jiangnan simply wanted to indulge his urge to slap people, right?
Bennime's eyes turned resolute:
(｀⌒´ꐦ) "I'll look! It's just a few slaps anyway; I'll forget about it afterward! For the future stability of my race and for my own peace of mind, I can endure it!"
"I want to see what kind of chips can counteract the threat of ceiling-level power!"
Manti also gritted her teeth:
(︶益︶✽) "A few slaps are nothing; I don't care!"
Noah's mouth twitched:
(*͡°﹏͡°) "You... you're not just trying to trick us into letting you slap us, are you?"
Jiangnan spread his hands: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭ "Am I that kind of person? You can choose not to look..."
[From Noah: Resentment +777!]
You totally are, for crying out loud!
(￢益￢) "Tch—I'll look too. Better not disappoint me! What about Chong Qianjin?"
Chong Qianjin shrugged:
ʅ(･´～･｀)ʃ "I don't mind~ You can do anything to me! I've got nothing to lose!"
But Wenge, Walter, Ye Yuanwei, and the others all had darkened faces. They didn't want to look, and they didn't want to get slapped either. Don't drag them into this!
Jiangnan clapped his hands:
(ʃƪ⁰̷̴̫⁰̷̴) "Alright~ Don't regret it, everyone! Big Pot, show them what we've got!"
Black God smiled: ☻ "Everyone~ don't even think about sending messages, syncing memories, or doing secret code while leaving marks!"
"You should already be aware that once you entered the Dimensional Gap, all connections with the outside world were cut off, right?"
"Nothing can escape my eyes. So... it's best to be good little babies, so you won't get hit. Don't think I don't know your little schemes!"
With that, he looked over everyone with a smile. Even Noah and the others couldn't help but swallow hard. Where would they dare have any sly thoughts?
"Bring it on!"
Black God casually snapped his fingers. The space above the void starry sky suddenly shifted, as if a layer of fog had been lifted!
The enormous, fully protected Ai Jiang Terminal appeared above everyone's heads!
The scale—larger than a Giant God Soldier—and the terrifying layers of defense immediately told the experienced Star Devourers that this thing was no ordinary item!
Their eyes widened!
Just then, on the terminal, quantum silicon crystal source condensed into the form of Ai Jiang, sitting on the terminal and waving to everyone with a smile~
(∗❛ัꇴ❛ั)ﾂ "Hi~ hello everyone! You can call me Ai Jiang. I'm Master's all-around little assistant~"
Noah suddenly stood up, mouth wide open:
(꒪ͦ口꒪ͦ|||) "Th-this... what the hell is this?"
Jiangnan said bluntly:
"Silicon race's Eternal Era Terminal. It's mine now. Although there's some missing data, it still records quite a bit about the glory of the Eternal Era!"
"All you need to know is that the content stored in Ai Jiang's terminal is no less than what's in the Silicon race's current terminal!"
"Alright, alright~ You've seen enough. Now line up for a face slap and experience my enthusiasm!"
He licked his lips, looking eager~
(„ಡꇴಡ„)و
But Manti frantically shook her head and quickly said:
(ﾟ口ﾟ≡ﾟ口ﾟ) "No no no! Don't slap yet! Tell us more—the Silicon race's terminal? Hiss—d-does it contain the manufacturing method for the Ultimate Star Weapon?"
"How did you get it? Th-this... oh my heavens!"
At this moment, the few Star Devourers looked like country bumpkins who had never seen the world. It wasn't that they lacked mental fortitude, but the existence of this terminal was a king bomb!
The explosive level of this news was no less shocking than Manti hearing that her seventh uncle's grandfather had given birth to eight more children!
Bennime was speechless, face flushed. Even Chong Qianjin's breathing became heavy!
Jiangnan said calmly:
(˵¯͒⥎¯͒˵) "Don't worry about how I got it. All you need to know is that it's mine now!"
"Bread and cake will come; we just need time. Do you still think overthrowing this era is a pipe dream? Do you still think our Carbon Alliance has no capital to fight against Bose, Silicon, and the Sacred Law Council?"
"As long as you join the Carbon Alliance, all allies can enjoy the dividends and benefits brought by the terminal!"
"Oh, and don't get any funny ideas. This thing will stay in the Dimensional Gap. Even if the entire starry sky joins forces to try to take it, you won't even touch a single hair, because you can't beat Black God!"
Noah and the others naturally knew. From the moment Jiangnan chose to reveal the terminal, he was certain no one could take it from him!
Just like how the Bose race couldn't deal with humanity, Silicon couldn't get this terminal either!
No matter how excited Noah and the others were, they could only watch with envy!
As for the Ultimate Star Weapon, they tacitly didn't even mention it anymore. What would mentioning it accomplish?
Could they stop humanity from having it? Could they destroy humanity or snatch the terminal?
This was already an established fact they were powerless to change!
No matter how jealous they were, they could only accept it!
Noah and the others understood clearly that with the conditions Jiangnan possessed, humanity's rise was unstoppable!
It was only a matter of time!
But the question was—this terminal, such a rare treasure, where the hell did Jiangnan get it?
Without a word, he had been hiding such a great weapon at home?
Could it be that Black God had unearthed a collection from the Eternal Era and lent it to Jiangnan?
That's true love, huh?!
Jiangnan waved his hand: (〃ﾟ口ﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey~ stop staring. You'll wear it out if you keep looking! Come get your slaps, quick quick!"
But Noah pressed urgently:
(￢ㅂ￢٥) "Don't—don't be like that! Talk a bit more! Talk about how exactly we cooperate, and what dividends we'll get if we join the Carbon Alliance?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes:
(꒪ั～꒪ั*) "You'll forget it all anyway. Why go into detail? Otherwise, you'll say I'm dragging it out. Just quickly leave a mark agreeing to join, then come get your slap!"
Manti covered her face. Why are you so obsessed with slapping people?
Like we could run away!
(งᵒ̌～ᵒ̌)ง "We don't mind if you're long-winded. Just tell us what there is—it'll also help us make up our minds!"
Jiangnan said impatiently:
(︶～︶〃)ﾉ "Fine, I'll give a few examples. For instance, right now every race is locked into Silicon technology. Silicon technology has permeated every aspect of the starry sky races!"
"Things like smart brains, starships, the Galaxy Network, and so on. Every race wants technological independence but can never achieve it. Do you know how much intelligence Silicon collects behind the scenes? How many meals each family eats, how many days your underwear goes unwashed—they know it all!"
"Once war breaks out, just Silicon's technological leakage would be enough to deliver a fatal blow to every race!"
Noah, Manti, and the others nodded incessantly. This was indeed the truth, but they were helpless!
The technological foundation of this starry sky was built by Silicon. You had to use it whether you liked it or not!
Jiangnan pointed at Ai Jiang: "With the terminal, our Carbon Alliance can build our own Star Sea Network, breaking free from Silicon's surveillance!"
"I can also help allied races achieve independent technology systems, even without being monitored by Ai Jiang's terminal!"
"Furthermore, there will be deeper commercial exchanges, resource swaps, and infrastructure construction. The terminal's existence benefits not just humanity, but the entire Carbon Alliance!"
Bennime's eyes sparkled: (〃⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴) "And? And?"
Jiangnan helplessly said: "There's also something like the Stellar Source Flow Array. Once it's built, I might give allied races some purchase rights!"
"It's a time training room. Training inside for one day equals ten days outside. Even Star-Breaker and Star Devourer levels can use it to level up!"
"Also, there's manufacturing of some conventional weapons, which can be sold to the Carbon Alliance on priority. That's all for now. Since you'll forget everything anyway, why make me talk so much?"
"Joining the Carbon Alliance brings immediate benefits. I, Jiangnan, might be a bit of a scammer in daily life, but when it comes to the real deal, I never cheat my friends! So are you in or not? Give me a straight answer!"
"Quickly write something on your palm that's unrelated to this memory, for the you who will forget everything. I'm about to start slapping faces!"
In fact, exposing it didn't matter anyway; it was only a matter of time!
But the opportunity was rare—why not indulge in a bit of slap-happiness? Eihehe~
