Chapter 524: Everybody Jump Up
Everyone immediately got excited, looking at Jiangnan with full faces of emotion!
Such an amazing ultimate move must be really precious, right?
Yet Jiangnan was willing to teach it to everyone for free—wasn't that just too good?
One by one, they secretly resolved to do their utmost and learn no matter how much effort it cost!
Jiangnan grinned slyly, madly pulling scallions out of his alternate dimension. In no time, he had piled up a mountain of scallions!
"Let me tell you, that move just now is called Scallion Sword Qi, and you need to charge up the scallion energy in advance before you can use it!"
"What you need to do is charge the scallions. When the time comes, you absolutely have to use it together with the chant and the sword technique, otherwise it won't work!"
Everyone was stunned. There's a sword technique and a chant?
That sounds pretty high-class!
But seriously, why can this scallion be charged, and then emit green light? Did the ancestor of giant scallions mutate from a lightsaber or something?
Mountain Cat raised her hand and said, "Xiao Nan, is there any trick to learning this?"
Platelet's eyes sparkled: "Yeah, yeah! There must be a trick, right?"
Jiangnan smiled brightly: "The trick is to have no shame!"
"As long as I don't feel embarrassed, the embarrassment belongs to others!"
Mountain Cat: ???
As he spoke, Jiangnan had already written the chant on small slips of paper and handed them out for everyone to see!
"Memorize it all, you'll have to chant it later!"
Everyone stared blankly at the chant on the slips. Isn't this just the song Jiangnan sang earlier?
"Li Baba? Ding Dang Mao? Li Ba Li Ba Dai A Lu?"
What the hell kind of chant is this?!
Katerina cried, "Hey, hey, hey! Is this something a human can chant? It's so embarrassing!"
Platelet added, "Embarrassing? It's beyond embarrassing—it's cringe-worthy to the extreme, okay?"
Iron Bull: "I'm a dignified eight-foot-tall woman, and you want me to chant this?"
Jiangnan rolled his eyes. This is embarrassing?
The even more embarrassing part is still to come!
"Don't you want to get stronger? Think about the sword qi just now. Think about how cool you'll look striding across the battlefield holding scallions! Let's just throw this face away!"
Everyone gritted their teeth, their expressions hardening, and memorized the chant one after another.
Then Jiangnan picked up two scallions and held them in his hands: "Next, I'll teach you the sword technique. I'll break down the moves and only teach it once, okay? Watch carefully!"
With that, he jumped up!
Platelet laughed crazily: (๐˃̶ᗜ˂̶) Pfft hahaha, Nan Shen, you're so cute!
Katerina covered her face: (ﾉ)̫(ヾ) You're so flamboyant! I love it!"
Thin Monkey and Black Crow stared wide-eyed: "You call that a sword technique? Sigh—that little waist twist? Those leg shakes? Geh hahaha!"
Mountain Cat held back her laughter until her pretty face was flushed red, her shoulders shaking.
(づ˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅ど)
"Oh dear! Don't laugh! Don't you dare laugh at him! Does Xiao Nan still have dignity? Pfft—mm!!!"
But Jiangnan had entered a state of selflessness! His image had already collapsed long ago, okay?
Laugh! Just wait until later—you'll be the ones crying!
He showed everyone the complete Scallion Sword Technique, and the two scallion holy swords in his hands were fully charged!
Thin Monkey and the others had already laughed themselves weak.
Jiangnan clapped his hands: "Everyone got it? Come on! Grab a scallion, line up! Little Scallion Blossom Daddy's class is now in session!"
Each of them took a scallion and lined up in the living room. Recalling the moves and chant Jiangnan had just demonstrated, their faces flushed bright red.
This was even more awkward than farting in front of a girl you liked, okay?
Jiangnan glared: "What are you looking at me for? Jump! Sing! Get hyped!"
"This is for the mission, for snatching the data, for contributing to the country's curse text field! Can't you muster up that much courage?"
Mountain Cat blushed, biting her lip hard, determination burning in her eyes: "For the mission!"
"Ah—la... la sao sao! Da li di a ya!"
Mountain Cat covered her face and crouched on the ground, her pretty face so red it was practically steaming!
She felt so embarrassed she wanted to die!
The others stood like wooden stakes, stammering like they had a stutter, unable to spit out a single word.
Now they understood what Jiangnan meant by "the trick"!
But this was definitely not something an ordinary person could do!
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "Come on! Follow me and jump!"
He picked up two scallions and started jumping again.
Seeing that Jiangnan wasn't bothered by anyone else's gaze, everyone gritted their teeth and gave it their all!
They all jumped along with Jiangnan!
"Alright! Ready!"
"Touch the legs, down! Turn the head, up!"
"Squat! Pull in the legs! Twist the waist, touch the legs, up!"
"Swing the hips while flicking the scallion with the right hand, shake the legs, spin, and jump!"
"Twist the waist, thrust the hips, flick the scallion with the left hand, puff out the chest, slide sideways, and jump!"
"Make the moves saucy! Keep the posture floating! And the eyes gotta be fierce!"
"Yeah! You're getting the vibe now!"
Under Jiangnan's lead dance, everyone blushed as they finally got the moves and chant on track!
Jiangnan watched with glee. The scene of everyone doing the Scallion Sword Technique together was way too harmonious, right?
Katerina twisted her waist even better than he did!
Iron Bull danced the best, but the sight of a two-meter-tall, muscular iron tower of a woman with two braids, wielding two scallions and twisting around was just too eye-searing!
Especially when blood was still spraying from her nostrils—it was a sight you'd never forget, okay?
"Platelet! Shout the chant louder! We need momentum!"
Platelet: (⑉•口•⑉) Nah—Li Baba!
"Sister Shanmiao! Open your arms! Twist that little waist, yeah?"
Wow! Sister Shanmiao blushing while doing the Scallion Sword Technique—that was way too cute!
Absolutely adorable!
Mountain Cat twisted with a red face, her movements stiff, her eyes dodging. She didn't dare look at Jiangnan at all, and even her earlobes were red!
Aahhh! Why was she doing something like this?!
Jiangnan teleported over, grabbed Mountain Cat's hips with both hands, and helped her sway left and right!
Mountain Cat: !!!
"Ah! Xiao Nan! You—"
"Don't be shy! You look great when you dance. Later I'll reward you with some candy!"
Mountain Cat's face grew even redder. She could only go along with Jiangnan. This was all for the mission, after all!
With Jiangnan's guidance, the girls finally met the minimum standard for both the sword technique and the chant—they could start charging the scallions!
Only Thin Monkey and Black Crow were still like old zombies, unable to figure it out.
"Nan Shen! Come teach us too!"
"Yeah, we don't know how to twist!"
Jiangnan looked disgusted: "Scram, scram! Learn it yourselves! Who wants to teach you guys? Why is Iron Bull so good at it?"
[From Ma Lu's resentment value +666!]
[From Liu Ming's resentment value +888!]
What an old double-standard person!
Soon enough, Thin Monkey and Black Crow also reached the charging standard, but their dancing had zero aesthetic appeal!
Just two words: disgusting!
Soon, one scallion after another was fully charged and set aside. Many hands make light work—that's no empty saying!
"Nan Shen! Can we take a break? Charging scallions takes too much spirit energy!"
"Yeah, let us rest a bit. We're almost out of spirit energy!"
After charging more than twenty scallions, everyone's faces were pale.
Jiangnan grinned: "Out of spirit energy? Not happening!"
He pulled out a glass jar filled with yellowish durian pulp.
As soon as he opened the lid, the fragrance hit—straight to the soul!
"Ugh—Nan Shen! What in the world is in that jar?"
"It stinks to high heaven! Close it now!"
But Platelet's eyes lit up: "Nan Shen! Give me a bite! I want to eat it, I want to eat it!"
Everyone looked at Platelet with horrified expressions!
She's already into such heavy flavors now?
Jiangnan laughed: "Haha! At least someone here knows what's good!"
He scooped out a bit and fed it to Platelet.
"Ugh—it's so fragrant!"
Everyone was stunned to find that Platelet's spirit energy not only fully recovered but also increased by 50% in capacity!
They were all shocked beyond words!
This thing that stinks like crap can restore spirit energy? How magical is that?
And "fragrant"? Your gagging while eating doesn't make it convincing at all!
With Platelet leading the way, everyone else had to bite the bullet and eat it too, just to charge more scallions.
Soon enough, they were all "it's so fragrant"!
In the living room, Jiangnan and the other seven were madly charging scallions, their singing continuing late into the night.
By now, even Iron Bull and the others were about to throw up from eating.
"Nan Shen, can we take a breather? We really can't anymore."
"We've already charged over two thousand scallions! That's enough, okay?"
"If I keep charging for one day, I might actually level up a star, believe it or not?"
"Why do I feel like we're being used as tools?"
Jiangnan pouted: "No! Don't stop! This is just the beginning! Everybody jump up!"
Hmm... don't need to feel it anymore.
We really are tools! Confirmed!
Human-shaped scallion power banks—energy-saving and eco-friendly!
Charge four scallions with just one bite of pulp!
Meanwhile, Blue Wave and Pink Wave, locked in the partition, had expressions like they'd seen a ghost!
Are these people insane?
They've been jumping all day!
Are they performing some kind of secret summoning ritual?
