Chapter 2811: Sucker, Wanna Buy Cheats?
Liutie was nearly crippled by Destiny's Heavenly Punishment—who wouldn't be numbed by that hit?
Lingmiao wasn't about to let that opportunity slip.
With a single Great Thunderclap Technique, she blasted Liutie out of the battlefield, leaving him lying in the void, charred black all over, limbs twitching, still smoking...
Tianli directly declared the Hidden Spirit Clan's victory, adding 1.5 million points to their score!
Liutie was so furious he vomited iron juice!
I spent all that money, and I still lost!
Better to have not spent anything at all and just lost from the start—at least I'd have saved some cash!
Liutie, half-dead from the lightning strike, was carried back by the Metal Clan members!
He couldn't help but turn his head and glare stubbornly at Jiangnan.
(#)இYiஇ) "You freaking scammer, you big liar! Refund the money! Give me back my cash! Or else I'll—"
Jiangnan planted his hands on his hips, looking utterly arrogant:
(ꐦ°᷄д°᷅) "Or else you'll what?"
Chong Feiyu, Yakeli, Vivian, and Little Carp all glared with red eyes, cracking their knuckles in anticipation!
Liutie shuddered, a chill running down his spine:
(︶Yi︶(#) "Or else I'll just accept it!"
It wasn't cowardice—just being smart.
Jiangnan lifted his chin:
(˶‾᷄◠‾᷅˵) "Hmph~ You know what's good for you. You think you can get back the money that's already in my pocket?"
"Go ask around the starry sky—do you know the name Jiang Pixiu?"
[A from Liutie: Resentment +1010!]
[A from Liutie...]
If I ever trust Jiangnan again, I'm a dog!
A profiteer!
An absolute profiteer!
Having closed one deal, Jiangnan was brimming with confidence.
Money these days was pretty easy to trick... er, earn!
So he immediately controlled the spatial barrier and flew toward other battlefields.
The other Star Devourers were now panicking.
Crystal Clan Star Devourer Jingming ground his teeth:
(￢Yi￢ꐦ) "Don't come over! Don't try to sell me anything! I'd rather lose today than buy from you!"
Wujia Clan's Wugang said coldly:
(≖Yi≖ꐦ) "Don't think we don't know what you're up to. You won't squeeze another cent out of us!"
The other Star Devourers locked in fierce battles also looked wary.
"Don't waste your energy. With Liutie's lesson fresh in our minds, do you think we'll fall for your tricks again? Impossible!"
"I'd rather be beaten to death here than buy a single thing from you!"
Liutie was already scammed so badly—if anyone still fell for it, they'd be the biggest fools!
We absolutely refuse to be the next Liutie!
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: (๑◔◠◔ิ) "Oh? Really not buying? So decisive?"
Jingming gritted his teeth: "Not buying! Even if I die, I'm not buying!"
Jiangnan immediately pointed a finger:
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)☛ "Fine! Have some backbone—then you'll be beaten to death!"
"Carbon Alliance! Stop holding back—activate the cheats!"
With Jiangnan's command, every Carbon Alliance Star Devourer in the arena whose battle hadn't ended yet opened their portable space packs!
Big Strength + Big Green Stick + Horse Biscuit + Strongman Pill—none were left out, all consumed!
Their combat power rocketed up like a rocket, and the previously balanced battles were instantly shattered!
The scales of victory tilted wildly in favor of the cheat-using Star Devourers!
Forget everything else—just the boost from a single Strongman Pill was enough to make them suffer!
If luck was on their side and a hundred-fold critical hit triggered, they could literally send their opponents straight to the afterlife!
In an instant, Jingming, Saying, Wugang, and the others were beaten to a pulp, fleeing with their heads down, completely unable to counterattack!
The Carbon Alliance Star Devourers couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking utterly delighted:
(͡°┏▽┓͡°) "Gotta say, Nan Shen, your cheats are seriously fierce! So exhilarating! Awesome! This is killing me!"
(∗❛ั┏ꇴ┓❛ั) "A cheater's life needs no explanation! Yo—take this, old lady!"
Their opposing Star Devourers were getting wrecked!
They all started cursing—this was impossible to fight!
The gap wasn't that huge originally; even if one was stronger or weaker, it wouldn't create this level of suppression!
But now, they were all crazily strong, and none of them could hold out for long without losing!
Jiangnan had a brilliant smile:
(◦⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "Everyone? Why make things hard on yourselves? The cheats the Carbon Alliance members are using—I sell them all at my stall!"
"If they use something, you can use the same, right? The battle will return to a fair state, and victory or defeat depends on your own skill! Don't you want to fight an epic duel of cheats?"
"Just pay a tiny price, and you can stack a bunch of cheats. Otherwise, losing like this—won't you feel regret?"
"Young man! Wanna buy cheats?"
Jingming roared: (งᵒ̌皿ᵒ̌)ง "I told you! Not buying! Anyway, even if I buy, I'll still lose in the end, right? Why waste the money?"
"I'm willing to sacrifice this 1.5 million points and fight back in the challenge rounds—I'll find a way up eventually!"
"I won't let your sneaky scheme succeed!"
Jiangnan laughed:
(｡･ˇ↼ˇ･) "Challenge rounds? Who can you beat? Besides the four major factions—Human, Bose, Silicon, Dark Cosmos—there are only 12 spots left in the top 16. If you don't buy cheats, most of the qualifiers will be my Carbon Alliance members!"
"In the challenge rounds, they'll still use cheats. Who can you beat? It'll be the same result—you'll just have wasted 1.5 million bet points!"
"If you lose this round, you won't have another chance..."
Jingming gritted his teeth!
This is absolutely outrageous!
Jiangnan has completely taken control of the competition rhythm!
This is rigged! A fixed match!
(cao min caoꐦ) "Qian Li! Don't you guys do something? They're using cheats—isn't that cheating?"
But Qian Li sat cross-legged in the void, unmoving like a mountain, acting as if he hadn't heard anything.
Jiangnan glanced at Qian Li with a cold smirk on his face.
Tianli cleared his throat twice:
(￢ก￢๑) "Uh... according to the rules, Star Devourer battles have no restrictions on methods. Props and potions count as methods, so..."
Jingming: !!!
The Quality Alliance was already doing poorly in the second round. If they didn't even get past the first qualifiers,
and had few points to begin with, they'd be squeezed out to Grandma's house by the Carbon Alliance!
How could they accept that?
(︶Yi︶ꐦ)۶ "Tsk! Fine, I'll buy! Give me the same set of cheats—exactly the same!"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up:
(͡°▿͡°)✧ "Got it! I also have Nuclear Milk, Suspicious Soap, Soul Chicken Soup, and a bunch of other powerful cheats!"
"If you want, for a little more money, you can stack even more cheats than him!"
Jingming gritted his teeth: "No need! Just give me the exact same set, fast!"
If I don't get cheats now, I'll be done for!
Jiangnan immediately gave Yang Jian a look.
Yang Jian's smile was stretched to his ears as he scampered over to the Crystal Clan to collect payment again.
With Yang Jian's skill, the money he squeezed out would be the absolute limit of what the other party could bear mentally.
Jiangnan raised the War Horn, spreading his stall cloth like a flying carpet:
"Anyone else need cheats? You, sucker—wanna buy cheats?"
The Star Devourers coughed blood—was he not even pretending anymore?
Directly calling them suckers?
"Dammit! Give me a set too!"
"Me too! The exact same! I was supposed to win!"
"Uh... I bought the 'Lucky Touch' package before—can I get a discount this time?"
Jiangnan's business was booming, selling cheats wildly across the arena.
At first, the battles were pretty fair.
But the Carbon Alliance members didn't play by the rules—everyone used cheats, forcing their opponents to also buy cheats to restore fair play.
If you use them, I use them—everyone gets high together!
This let Jiangnan squeeze another huge batch of resources out of them.
Yang Jian's hands were sore from collecting money, and his mouth was numb from quoting prices!
Jiangnan was born for this!
He finally understood why Jiangnan was so excited about the apex war—it was clearly a golden opportunity to get rich, not to be missed!
As for the final result of the qualifiers, Jiangnan didn't really care.
He could even ignore the outcome of the apex war.
After all, rankings only mattered under the current rule system. Who knows if the Thousand Stars Era will even exist in the future?
Instead of fighting tooth and nail for points that might become meaningless, why not grab as many resources as possible for strategic reserves?
Jiangnan had that kind of boldness.
But that didn't mean races like the Metal Clan or Crystal Clan had it too.
No matter the future, they had to be prepared for both possibilities.
Because the end of the Thousand Stars Era might not be inevitable. The Bose Clan still had a chance to stabilize the era's rules, and Xun Zu was the key.
But that was the outcome neither side wanted to see.
Not all races bought Jiangnan's cheats. Some had no intention of continuing.
They lacked the strength and only wanted the basic points from the Star Devourer stage.
Winning the qualifiers was best; if not, they wouldn't force it.
That was their judgment after comprehensive consideration.
The noise on the battlefield was ten times greater than before the fighting started!
Everyone was using cheats, and the battle aftershocks reached terrifying levels.
But groups were slowly finishing one after another.
The Stardust Clan faced the Eye Clan. Sheng Qingmou was outmatched and voluntarily surrendered—two-on-one, even with cheats, she couldn't win.
After all, the Stardust Clan was a veteran top-ten sequence strong race with real power.
Sheng Qingmou could only hope to find a weak opponent in the top 16 for a challenge.
If not, she'd have to give up.
Not all qualifiers were Carbon Alliance members—the Quality Alliance also had some qualifiers, as many races were quite strong.
But overall, the Carbon Alliance had the numbers.
And this wasn't the final result—the challenge rounds were still to come.
Jiangnan had made a killing.
But almost no one noticed that even though the Star Devourers had turned the final burial ground into chaos, the dark gray dust and embers lingering there showed no sign of dissipating or decreasing. Instead, they grew denser and denser.
It seemed to have started after the ancient Star God's corpse appeared.
Jiang Fan frowned, gazing deep into the old burial grounds, his eyes profound, while Qing Er tilted her head, her eyes full of confusion...
