Chapter 2889: Today's Starry Sky Is Quite Noisy!
A group of people rushed up and grabbed Jiangnan, frantically shaking their heads, with pitiful expressions as if about to cry!
Let us be hired thugs, fine, but we absolutely do not want to become the protagonists of this whole starry sky's Kuangkang Beating People event, right?
੧੧(꒦ິyi꒦ີ|||) "No way! Brother Nan? No way!"
Seeing everyone's desperate pleas, Jiangnan's heart softened a bit!
After all, they were his own people, and he'd still need to band together to fight powerful enemies later. Beating them was truly hard to bring himself to do, right?
And there was no point in farming the Matter Alliance a second time either. The Matter Alliance had already developed resistance, and the resentment value refresh rate wasn't efficient anymore!
Farming it again would just be a waste of time!
Jiangnan's gaze swept through the crowd, suddenly landing on Yakeli. His eyes lit up, and his smile gradually turned demonic!
Yakeli jolted, covering his chest as he stumbled back two steps!
(￢﹏￢٥) "I... I'm pretty weak, you know? I can't take your output. And can you bear to do it?"
Jiangnan grinned and let out a light cough:
(๑͡°ก͡°) "Ahem~ If you don't want me to beat you, that's fine too!"
"But if I just stop like this, wouldn't I be at a loss?"
Noah coughed blood. If you don't beat us, what loss are you talking about?
Judging by this rhythm, he means he wants money, right?
Anything that can be settled with money isn't a big deal!
(︶﹏︶٥) "I get it! We all get it! Just name your price! As long as you don't beat us in front of our clansmen, anything goes!"
A sly smirk of success spread across Jiangnan's face:
(˵¯͒〰¯͒˵) "Since you all said so, I won't hold back! Agree to two conditions, and I'll let you off!"
"First, let me crack open your skulls. I haven't unlocked the achievement 'Starry Sky Skull-Cracker' yet. If I don't crack all of them, I'll feel terrible!"
All the Star Devourers' faces darkened. In the end, it still came down to cracking skulls, didn't it?
(๑◔﹏◔ิ) "Just one hit?"
(ಠ～ಠ˵) "Mmhm, just one!"
They exchanged glances, gritted their teeth, and stomped their feet. Fine, cracking skulls it was! Still better than getting beaten up!
"Then what's the other condition?"
Jiangnan's expression suddenly turned unfathomably mysterious:
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Someday in the future... you'll each suffer a major bloodletting, the kind that makes your heart tremble, but it won't shake your racial foundations!"
"And at that time... you have to accept it. Don't say no, got it?"
This condition left all the Star Devourers puzzled. What major bloodletting? Why so mysterious?
Was Jiangnan planning to take a stroll through everyone's treasure vaults or something?
And saying it so ominously? The unknown is always the most terrifying, right?
Everyone's lips twitched!
Σ(°﹏°|||) "What major bloodletting?"
Jiangnan looked up with an air of mystery:
(︶.̮︶｡) "I'm not telling you. You'll know when the time comes~"
Chong Qianjin shivered:
(•́﹏•̀٥) "C... can we choose not to do this? I keep feeling like there's a trap? Why don't you just beat us up instead?"
Jiangnan cackled darkly: "Too late! That's the deal. Hurry up, line up and come get your skulls cracked!"
The Star Devourers had no choice. Their hearts were pounding from Jiangnan's antics, but they still came to get their skulls cracked, treating it as the price for getting off easy!
And Mailiushi, who was hanging far behind, was stunned speechless by the scene!
What the hell!
When Jiangnan was being inhumane, he even beat up his own people?
Was it because he had finished farming the Matter Alliance?
Was... was he going to farm them again?
Having witnessed the whole process, Mailiushi naturally knew Jiangnan's brutality. He was definitely capable of it!
And the sight of him frantically cracking his own people's skulls was also seen by the entire starry sky!
Their expressions turned strange!
Was this some kind of initiation ceremony for the Kuangkang Beating People Group or something?
After cracking all their skulls, Jiangnan unlocked the achievement 'Starry Sky Skull-Cracker'!
Noah, Chong Qianjin, and the others covered their heads, spinning in pain!
Jiangnan patted his little hands, looking completely satisfied:
(͡°̫͡°)✧ "All done~ time to head back..."
Before he could finish, he heard Mailiushi's anxious roar from behind:
٩(இ口҉̛●҉̛(#҉̛) "L... Lord Nan? Do you think those two cards should be given back..."
Mailiushi had even started calling him Lord Nan, because he felt Jiangnan was now on a completely different level from himself!
Jiangnan was startled, having forgotten about that!
He snapped his fingers, and the two cards began to shrink. Xing Lan and Mingquan, who had been sealed within the two-dimensional plane, started to slowly precipitate out, recovering their lost energy and information state!
Jiangnan didn't go back on his word!
(￢～￢) "Scram~ Next time we meet, remember to call me grandpa and kowtow twice, got it?"
Mailiushi shuddered, grabbed the two, and bolted!
Forget twice, even if you asked for three kowtows, as long as you didn't beat me, I'd do it!
Only Wang Youzhi felt a little disappointed. It seemed the Thousand Stars Slaughter couldn't happen. Damn it!
Jiangnan was about to head back to the Dimensional Gap when he suddenly paused!
Even a mosquito leg is still meat~
If he just went back like this, wouldn't it make him look like he only knew how to pick on the weak?
So Jiangnan immediately pulled out the War Horn and activated the world broadcast mode!
Σ(((﹥(°口°〃) "Hello hello~ Can everyone hear me? Due to the successful hosting of the first All-Starry-Sky Kuangkang Beating People Conference!"
"Your Alliance Leader is in a great mood! So I improvised a new nursery rhyme. Please lend me your ears. You have to listen even if you don't want to!"
The starry sky citizens all pressed their hands to their foreheads. Ever since Jiangnan got that big horn, he hadn't stopped for a single moment!
And what does 'first' mean? Does that mean there will be second, third, fourth, fifth editions?
How are people supposed to live?
And what new nursery rhyme is this now?
Jiangnan paid no attention to anything else and just started singing!
Σ(((﹥(⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴๑)
"Under the starry sky by the door, a duck came waddling by~"
"Come come, curse and shout~ Xun Zu is a moron!"
"Quack~ quack~ Xun Zu is such a quack~"
"That big dumb duck is him~ Hey!"
The nursery rhyme, full of childlike innocence and purity, echoed through the starry sky, over and over, like a demonic chant that lingered endlessly!
Many people couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing!
Zhong Yingxue covered her mouth, her shoulders shaking!
Wang Youzhi slapped his thigh, laughing wildly. Xia Yao covered her face. What kind of demonic nursery rhyme is this?!
And sung in a baby voice? Give back my childhood! Is this another 'ruins childhood' series?
Aren't you afraid of corrupting the kids like this?
As everyone knew, times might fall and be destroyed!
But nursery rhymes could be passed down across eras! Even that one about Qian Li had already spread through every star domain!
Which little brat didn't know a few lines?
Though they had no idea who Qian Li was!
Inside the Eternal World, Xun Zu was furious, his rage even causing the starry sky to tremble!
(☄yi☄ꐦ) "Jiang! Nan! I want your life!"
But just as Xun Zu was about to charge out, Qian Li grabbed him!
(‧̣̥̇͡°yi͡°) "Lord Xun Zu! Calm down! Please calm down! Jiangnan wants you to go out. Once you leave the Eternal World, your ability to mobilize Rule Force is limited!"
"The advantage against Jiangnan isn't great! And there's probably some trap waiting for you. He wants you to go out!"
"Could this be a way to slow down your progress in breaking the Shen Zang shackles?"
"Didn't you say it yourself? Everything before your eyes is illusory. Once the Shen Zang shackles are broken, who can still stand in your way? You can beat whoever you want!"
Xun Zu's eyes blazed with fire:
(☄yi☄ꐦ) "I am a mighty Cosmos Realm senior. How can he curse me like this?"
"Just let it go? Where's my dignity?"
Qian Li urgently said: "Getting cursed a few times won't cost you a piece of meat! Look at me! Wasn't I cursed too? And I'm doing just fine!"
"Take it easy. Everything is but floating clouds. Breaking the Shen Zang shackles is the real deal!"
And at that moment, Qian Li even felt a little gleeful inside. With Xun Zu taking the heat!
He was finally freed from the nursery rhyme curse!
Let them curse Xun Zu enough. He himself didn't have to be cursed anymore! Ahahaha!
But before Qian Li could rejoice, the familiar nursery rhyme started again!
"Little rubber ball, kick it high! Qian Li is a big dumb guy~ Loves to run naked, no clothes to buy..."
And this 'Little Rubber Ball' rhyme was even longer than Xun Zu's 'Duck Duck Duck'!
Qian Li's face turned green. Even with Xun Zu around, you won't let me off?!
When Xun Zu heard this, his expression eased considerably. At least he wasn't the only one humiliated!
Besides, if he went out now, fighting outside wouldn't give him much advantage, and it would only delay his progress in refining the Shen Zang!
This move by Jiangnan only made Xun Zu more certain that he had no real way to deal with him, just cursing to vent his anger!
(cao yi caoꐦ) "Hmph~ Curse all you want. See how long you can be arrogant! Out of sight, out of mind!"
He immediately blocked the Eternal World from receiving external sounds and continued refining the Shen Zang!
And Jiangnan didn't just play those two rhymes!
He also broadcast the post-fight reflections he had recorded, Wanxiang's roar of 'Lord Nan is supremely awesome', and the begging, screaming voices of the various clan Star Devourers and spokespersons recorded during the beating conference. He started playing them in a loop!
In an instant, the cold, quiet starry sky became incredibly noisy!
Various sounds mixed together, looping in the ears of every starry sky citizen!
People were furious. This wasn't a broadcast anymore, it was noise!
But even if they deafened themselves, they could still hear it. The world loudspeaker wasn't for nothing!
Jiangnan cackled, directly pulling out a mountain of world loudspeakers and handing them to Wang Youzhi!
(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Keep broadcasting! Annoy them to death! Until they're completely numbed!"
Wang Youzhi's smile was extraordinarily demonic:
(◕՞ټ՞) "Got it! I'll make sure this job is done right!"
Honestly, this move was effective!
The resentment value progress bar had started to rise!
The starry sky citizens would eventually get annoyed, but they couldn't do anything about it. How could they not generate resentment value?
Now Jiangnan wasn't afraid of getting beaten anymore, because across the entire starry sky, there was basically no one who could beat him!
Jiangnan also planned to randomly let out a few 'GiaO' sounds to scare them awake!
Or record the sounds of him eating Detoxifying Soybeans and playing them while the starry sky races were eating!
Or even wake them up in the middle of the night to pee!
Ahahaha! There were plenty of ways to be inhumane, and Jiangnan was an expert at them!
From that day on, the entire starry sky entered a mode of constant noise!
The spirits of the starry sky races began to be tortured!
And Jiangnan returned to the Dimensional Gap, where it was actually peaceful!
He called Yakeli over alone!
Yakeli was startled: "Brother Nan? What's up? You... are you going to give me some special training?"
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow: "Dream on! Contact Yao Hong. Have the Star Rebellion Army investigate the matter of the Starfall Round Hall and the Slave Mark. See if there's any convenient way to break it!"
Yakeli froze, then his eyes lit up!
"Brother Nan? Are you planning to..."
Jiangnan squinted: "I never said I wouldn't go after the Bose Race. With all this fuss, Xun Zu didn't even come out to cause trouble. He's very weak now, and he'll only get stronger!"
"If we don't mess with them now, it'll be hard to find a good opportunity later. We have to strike hard!"
"Go investigate! Find out everything clearly! Time is tight, move fast, don't drag it out!"
"Before, I didn't have the strength. I couldn't mess with them, couldn't afford to play. But now I have the power. It's time!"
Yakeli said excitedly: "I'm on it! Brother Nan! I absolutely love you to death!"
With that, he vanished in a flash!
