Chapter 2672: The Grown-Up Naturally Wants It All
Whatever else, agree first, use Jiangnan's power to completely dismantle the Silicon base!
As for how the base planet gets divided later? That depends on who's got the tougher tricks!
No matter how terrifying the Silicon base is, it doesn't have the ability to block a black hole!
Tianli absolutely can't miss this opportunity!
Jiangnan just sneers—does he really think Silicon is stupid?
They know I'm here watching the show, and they'd still create a black hole at their doorstep to hit you?
Wouldn't Silicon have countermeasures?
Otherwise, would they dare use it?
There's probably another trap buried in the base!
But that doesn't stop Jiangnan from taking the job!
Jiangnan props his chin up in deep thought:
( ͡° ก ͡°) "Fifty-fifty split on the gains? Works, works! But the question is... who gets the fifty?"
Tianli: ???
You big genius, you're messing with me? Who the hell gets the fifty—what difference does it make?
[From Tianli: Resentment +1009!]
(งᵒ̌yiᵒ̌)ง "Jiangnan! Are you doing this or not? I'm not joking! Even though I really don't want to use your power, the opportunity is right in front of me!"
"Have you forgotten the unwillingness in your heart when Silicon sold you out?"
Jiangnan waves his hand:
(︶～︶〃)ﾉ "Fine, fine! Fifty-fifty it is! Since it's fifty percent, I'll just take the black hole for a spin around their base five times, okay?"
"If you want me to do a few more laps, it'll cost extra!"
With that, he stands up from the swing and stretches hard, looking like he's about to show off his skills!
Tianli grinds his teeth. You're really pushing it?
If it weren't for the fact that you're the only one in the world who can walk a black hole, would I need you?
Just as Jiangnan is picking out a nice-looking black hole, Gangxiu suddenly speaks up!
[┐￢_￢┌] "Jiangnan, think it over again. If our Silicon base is gone, your Carbon Alliance will have to directly bear pressure from the Bose race!"
"We're also attacking the Bose zhendi, and we've started using neutron star colliders there too!"
"How about you go to that battlefield and remotely control the black hole to help break the Bose race's four-dimensional cube defense and their spirit realm?"
"Whatever black holes you want, we Silicon will make for you! The gains will also be split fifty-fifty, and we Silicon will add an undeveloped top-tier star source mine! A hundred trillion star source points!"
Jiangnan's eyes light up: (๑¥ꇴ¥) "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Gangxiu answers without hesitation:
[┐ˇ-ˇ┌] "Silicon never lies. As long as you agree to help, the mine will be thrown directly into the dimensional gap, and the star source points will be transferred to your account immediately!"
"Both of us have ambitions. If we don't get rid of the Bose, how can we realize our aspirations?"
For Silicon, if they have Jiangnan controlling the black hole to assist, the difficulty of taking down the Bose zhendi will be greatly reduced!
It's not impossible to crush the Bose race—the cost is definitely worth it!
Because inside the Bose zhendi, there's nothing that can directly block a black hole collision!
Jiangnan makes a snap decision:
(｡･ˇguiˇ･) "Boss Silicon, so domineering! I'll take the job! I'll get it done for you, no problem!"
"I, Jiang the Substitute, will head to that battlefield right now and use the black hole to smash the Bose race into pieces!"
Then he turns around, ready to qusu over there!
～(ง¥gui¥)ว
Now Tianli panics!
If Jiangnan really takes the black hole and strolls around inside his home, how is he supposed to stop it?
Even if there are backup measures, the losses won't be small!
(ꐦ°᷄yi°᷅) "Stop! Don't go! Don't you dare go! I'll give you three star source mines! A hundred trillion star source points! Plus a billion cubic meters of rare metals!"
"And also the gains—fifty-five split! Help me use the black hole to destroy the Silicon base!"
"Don't forget! How Silicon screwed you over! Haven't you learned your lesson?"
Jiangnan looks troubled: (๑•̌～•̑) "Makes sense, makes sense! Sorry, Boss Silicon, it's not that I don't want to earn your money, but the Bose race is offering too much!"
"I'll take their order instead!"
He then rushes straight for a black hole!
Gangxiu: !!!
[┐￢_￢┌] "Ten star source mines! Ten billion energy crystal core batteries! Beat them for me!"
Jiangnan waves his hand:
☚(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅)☛ "Don't any of you f——ing stop me! I'm going to charge the Bose zhendi right now and show them what a starry sky calamity looks like!"
Tianli rolls his eyes in anger. Damn Jiangnan, you're doing this on purpose, aren't you?
You're picking and choosing now?
But can he afford not to pay?
If he doesn't, Jiangnan will really help demolish him!
(︶yi︶|||) "Fifteen star source mining areas! Ten star ruins—you can choose! You want slave races? I'll give them!"
Jiangnan grits his teeth: (*꒦ິ～꒦ີ) "Tsk—for those slave races suffering untold misery, I have to take this job! Otherwise, my conscience won't let me rest!"
"Boss Silicon, sorry, I'm going to—"
Gangxiu glares:
[┐￢yi￢┌] "Stop f——ing pretending! You have no conscience! You just want more money, right?"
"One rich mine! Beat the Bose!"
Jiangnan's eyes are already shining with gold!
(੭✧gui✧)੭ "Tianli! You're finished! Just wait! Wait for me!"
Tianli grinds his teeth:
(´థyiథ)σ "Jiangnan, you bastard! One rich mine! Plus ten star ruins!"
Gangxiu squints: "Silicon never lets an opportunity slip by! I'll add three mobile cities!"
Tianli's eyes go red: "I'll add three more star ruins!"
"I add—"
Now both sides start bidding—neither wants to miss this chance!
Neither side can finish the other off right now, but with Jiangnan's help, the situation would be completely different!
Both want to win Jiangnan over to their side!
Jiangnan's head swings left and right like he's watching a ping-pong match, his eyes darting between the two!
The battlefield spectator group is stunned!
This actually works?
He comes to the battlefield, swings on a swing, and makes money?
Wu Liang's eyes twitch:
(•́ω•̀٥) "My Bro Nan is this sought-after?"
But Jiangnan suddenly gets anxious and roars:
(ง≥kou≤)ง "Enough! Both of you, enough!"
That shout stuns the two!
Jiangnan looks pained:
(｡･ˇyiˇ･) "Why are you two so stupid? If you keep adding, won't you be losing money? Won't I be taking all the advantage?"
"No matter whose order I take, it hurts! I, Jiang the Substitute, love money, but I don't earn money against my conscience, and I don't cheat my clients!"
Tianli grinds his teeth. You've got nerve saying that! Who do you think created this situation?
If you hadn't come to watch the fun, would I have to spend this money?
But Wang Youzhi doesn't get it!
Σ(°△°|||) "Has my little brother been possessed? They're adding money and you're refusing?"
Jiangnan looks distressed:
(︶～︶〃)ﾉ "Alright, no more additions! Let's leave it at that! No matter whose order I take, it hurts my heart!"
"I have a suggestion! Since both of you want my help so badly, and I don't want to refuse either of you... let's do this!"
"I'll take Boss Bo's order first, use the black hole to demolish the Silicon base! Then I'll take Boss Silicon's order, and use the black hole to demolish the Bose zhendi!"
"Then, besides the extra payment, each of you gives me half of your gains! That way, everyone gets what they want! Good for him, good for you, good for me! Perfect!"
Wang Youzhi's jaw drops to the floor!
(๑ʘ̅kouʘ̅๑)!
"Little bro! That's brilliant! Smooth! Offend no one, and you earn money from both sides! A father and a mother at the same time?"
Jiangnan sheepishly scratches his head: ୧(〃⁼̴gui⁼̴) "Eheh~ kids make choices, grown-ups naturally want it all!"
Tianli and Gangxiu's eyes could kill!
F——ing "I suggest"?
I suggest you don't suggest!
"Well for everyone"? Only you, right?
Both our bases get wrecked, we give you half the gains, and pay extra?
Everything goes to you, and we're left with half the points? Are we brain-dead to hire you for that?
You never intended to help from the start, did you?
You've been messing with both of us!
[From Tianli: Resentment +1010!]
Gangxiu:
ᕕ[┐cao yi cao┌]┌∩┐ "Damn!"
The two exchange a glance and silently agree not to ask Jiangnan for help anymore!
We'll fight our own battles! Just pretend Jiangnan doesn't exist!
Jiangnan quickly waves:
(ﾟkouﾟ)ﾂ "Hey hey hey—consider it? You won't lose! Really! I'll give you a discount!"
But no matter what Jiangnan says, Tianli and Gangxiu ignore him!
Wang Youzhi chuckles:
(˵ಡ̫ಡ) "Done for, huh? Didn't make any money?"
Jiangnan tosses his head:
(๑˘～˘) "Hmph—they don't know my value. If they don't want to hire me, fine, I don't want to do it anyway."
It's not that Jiangnan flipped the table—he never intended to get involved in the first place!
If Silicon dared to release a black hole, there must be a trap. Even if he helped Silicon hit the Bose, who knows what kind of landmines are buried in the Bose zhendi? If he brazenly takes a black hole in for a spin and ends up losing his life, that would be hilarious!
But making money doesn't necessarily mean getting your hands dirty. You can earn from the sidelines too!
Jiangnan sits back on the swing and pulls out his War Horn!
Σ(((＞(ิguiิ◦) "Ahem—since you two aren't interested in the 'Boom-Boom Substitute' service, how about considering the Carbon Alliance's new 'War Cheerleader Package'?"
Then his smile turns even more devilish!
In that moment, Ming Sha and the others' faces look worse than if they'd eaten a dirty sock!
Here we go again?
They've suffered from this thing before!
Is Jiangnan a mosquito? Annoying but impossible to kill?
They angrily shout:
(งᵒ̌minᵒ̌)ง "Jiangnan! Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in the conflict?"
Jiangnan spreads his hands: ʅ(･´‸･｀)ʃ "I did say that! But I didn't say I couldn't open my mouth!"
"I'm just talking on the sidelines—doesn't affect you, right? Right?"
"Are you sure you don't want to consider the War Cheerleader Package? Personally cheered on by me, the Great Trumpet Jiang!"
"The side that purchases the package gets full encouragement from this cheerleader, with all stats boosted! The army's morale soars, unbeatable, victorious in every battle!"
"And it comes with a free insult service—I can curse the enemy into autism, unable to live normally! Losing the war will be just a matter of minutes!"
"Discounted price—would you two pitiful... ahem, bosses, like to reconsider?"
