# Chapter 712: The Magnanimous Boss Jiang! (Bonus Chapter)
Was Shirley's ability really this comprehensive?
She really lived up to her title as the Chosen Divine Maiden. She was probably the only person in the world who could use all five elemental systems simultaneously!
And the combinations of elements would have an enormous number of uses!
Her rank was also at Platinum Level 4. This woman was no ordinary troublesome opponent!
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled brightly. What a waste it would be if this talent wasn't used for hatching eggs!
She was practically the ultimate universal egg-hatching machine!
Shirley smiled gently. "It seems Nan Shen is quite confident in his team!"
"If we really cross paths, you'll know I wasn't joking. You should be happy that I'm willing to owe you a favor!"
"Be careful not to get blown to bits by me~"
Zhong Yingxue stepped forward, her beautiful eyes sharp as knives, her pretty face icy cold!
"You can try. Let's see which side gets blown up first!"
Jiangnan: (๐•̀ꇴ•́) Oh hohoho~
They're going at it! Xuexue was really taking a strong stance.
Jiangnan didn't think any five-element magic god could out-blast his Xuexue!
After all, Xuexue's nine-barreled human cannon was something he had personally crafted.
Shirley chuckled lightly. "Zhong Yingxue, right? I've seen your videos online. Your output is indeed somewhat decent!"
"If we get the chance, we can exchange a few volleys. It should give you a whole new definition of the word 'output'."
Zhong Yingxue said coldly, "I'll burn you to ashes. I mean what I say!"
Shirley was about to respond when Jiangnan rolled his eyes. "Hey hey hey, I haven't even sold you the soybeans yet. Is it really a good idea for you, a universal egg-hatching machine, to be so cocky?"
Shirley: ???
What the hell was an egg-hatching machine? A traffic light? Was she talking about me?
[From Shirley's Resentment Value +1000!]
What kind of nickname is that? It sounds terrible!
But the trainees who had heard Jiangnan's infamous egg-hatching lecture were struggling to hold back their laughter!
(⑉ԾжԾ⑉) Pfft~
What the heck was a universal egg-hatching machine? She was a five-element magic god, not some device for hatching your eggs!
Shirley's expression stiffened, then she looked pitifully at Jiangnan.
"Brother Nan Shen, you're such a gentleman. You wouldn't hold a grudge against little Shirley, would you?"
Jiangnan: (٥≖‸≖)
Her face was pretty cute, and her name sounded nice too.
Iced Shirley was supposed to be sweet, right? So why did it taste like green tea to me?
Jiangnan reached out and pulled out three catties of small soybeans!
"Each catty has about 800 beans. If you use them sparingly, that should be enough for your team for about a month!"
Instantly, everyone in the banquet hall fixed their gazes on Jiangnan, their eyes gleaming!
Under these circumstances, nobody didn't want those small soybeans!
Danny said excitedly, "Brother, name your price! As long as it's not too outrageous..."
Jiangnan grinned. "Fifteen Diamond-grade Spirit Beads. That shouldn't be too expensive for you guys!"
Danny was taken aback. Under these circumstances, even if Jiangnan demanded an exorbitant price, no one could say anything about it.
He had even prepared himself mentally to be ripped off.
But Jiangnan's asking price wasn't high at all. In fact, it could be considered cheap.
Danny quickly pulled out fifteen Diamond-grade Spirit Beads and tried to hand them over.
But Jiangnan didn't take them. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hold on. There's one more condition!"
Danny gave a bitter smile. He knew it wouldn't be that simple. "Brother, name it!"
Jiangnan said, "If I remember correctly, your Eagle Country controls the core of the fifth resource layer, right?"
"My condition is simple. When my people pass through the fifth layer, you let them pass safely and don't pull any tricks."
As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions turned serious!
The resource layers were full of Spirit-Binding Iron Mines. Most of the time, abilities couldn't be used!
And the side that held the core had absolute advantage and leverage!
You could say that the game had already begun!
Jiangnan was using the soybeans to gain an advantage for the Huaxia side!
Danny grinned. "Of course we can do that. But I'm just giving you my verbal promise. Can you trust that, brother?"
Jiangnan shrugged. "Of course I don't trust it. But having it is better than not having it!"
"If you break your promise when the time comes, I'll make you pay the price. Believe me!"
Danny's expression turned serious. "I swear by the name of the Paladin. When we go down into the Abyss, I'll ensure that your people pass safely through the fifth layer!"
"But I can't guarantee anything when we come back up. That involves national interests and isn't something I can decide!"
Jiangnan took the Spirit Beads and stuffed the small soybeans into Danny's arms. "Deal!"
The Danny group, having obtained the small soybeans, all breathed sighs of relief. Now they didn't have to worry about the Original Sin Poison!
At this moment, Mi Ye, who was sitting elegantly on the stage sipping red wine, naturally noticed Jiangnan selling his soybeans!
She was completely speechless!
"Black-hearted profiteer! That bad Nanren!"
In two days, the tap water of Nightless City would have detoxification properties!
The personnel from various countries going down into the Abyss actually only needed to bring tap water. And it would be free!
But no one knew about this yet. Jiangnan was madly raking in cash before the small soybeans became common knowledge!
She wondered what expressions these people would have when they found out that the tap water of Nightless City could cure the Original Sin Poison.
At the thought of this, the corner of Mi Ye's mouth curled up slightly!
She naturally wouldn't interfere with this matter. Making the various countries willingly pay up was Jiangnan's own skill!
Over at the Fish Country side, they felt incredibly uncomfortable.
"Sigh... things were going so well. Now we have to pay a huge price just to enter the Abyss, and we're getting ripped off on top of that!"
"Our Holy Son just can't get things done. The key is that he offended Jiangnan!"
"He's the only one with the soybeans. He's definitely not going to sell any to us now. Without the soybeans, how can we explore the Abyss? We've already lost before we even started!"
"Maybe we should go talk to Jiangnan again and see if he'll sell us some soybeans!"
Everyone's eyes focused on Adams.
Adams clenched his teeth so hard they almost cracked. "Go find him? Can't we explore the Abyss without the soybeans? Have some backbone!"
Go to Jiangnan to buy soybeans? Wouldn't that be admitting defeat?
Did he still want his face?
Haiti bit her lower lip hard. "Then... let me try."
Adams glared. "Don't go! You're disgracing the Fish Country royal family!"
Haiti's lips turned pale from biting. "This is about Fish Country, not about you alone. I'm going!"
With that, she ran toward Jiangnan. Adams was trembling with rage. "No backbone!"
The Fish Country explorers all curled their lips. You did the dirty work yourself, and now you're making the Holy Maiden go beg?
It's you who has no backbone!
"Nan Shen? Could you sell some to us Fish Country? I'll buy it with my allowance~"
Jiangnan turned around and found Haiti staring at him with pleading eyes, her eyes red as if she was about to cry!
(☍﹏⁰。)
In her hand was a frog-shaped wallet.
Jiangnan was stunned, staring blankly at the frog wallet in Haiti's hand!
Wasn't it even fatter than last time?
"Sure! Why wouldn't I sell? But I'll have to charge you a bit more!"
Why not make some easy money?
Even if he didn't sell to Fish Country, he couldn't stop their exploration activities!
After all, the tap water of Nightless City would have detoxification properties by then.
Haiti was overjoyed when she heard this. After what happened, Nan Shen was still willing to sell them the soybeans?
He really was broad-minded. He was a good person!
But then she grew worried again. "Then... how much do you want? I don't have that much allowance."
Jiangnan swallowed hard. What kind of family did this girl come from?
Your frog wallet was so swollen it looked like an angry pufferfish, and you still say you don't have much?
Jiangnan pulled out three catties of small soybeans. "Then it'll be twenty Diamond-grade Spirit Beads. Do you have enough allowance?"
Haiti sighed in relief when she heard that and quickly nodded. "Enough, enough! I'll get them for you right now!"
With that, she opened her frog wallet and counted out the contents. The glittering display almost made Jiangnan drool!
The transaction was completed. Twenty Spirit Beads in hand, the frog wallet had shrunk a bit.
Haiti carefully held the soybeans to her chest, her face full of gratitude. "Thank you, Nan Shen!"
Then she trotted all the way back.
Jiangnan's big eyes darted around slyly. This Haiti seemed really easy to fool!
Seeing how fat her frog was, he had to find an opportunity to help her slim it down!
He needed to flatten it completely. Geigeigei~
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Jiangnan clapped his hands!
"Everyone, don't rush. I, Jiangnan, have been doing business on the streets for many years, always putting integrity first and loyalty above all!"
"Although once we go down into the Abyss, we're all competitors, I still want to sell these soybeans to everyone!"
"Let everyone be free from the erosion of Original Sin Poison. Once we're in the Abyss, we'll compete fairly, each relying on their own abilities!"
With these words, everyone looked at Jiangnan differently, their gazes filled with admiration and respect!
"What magnanimity! Boss Jiang is truly impressive!"
"A fair competition! You've got me fired up! I have the utmost respect!"
"To give up your own advantage and give everyone a chance—that spirit is truly touching! It's selflessness and also confidence!"
"With a leader like this at Dandelion, no wonder Black Claw got overshadowed!"
Jiangnan: ☚(｡¯ิٹ¯ิ｡)☛
"That's the kind of talk I like to hear!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao were both speechless!
We don't believe a single word you say!
You, little handsome guy, are extremely sneaky!
Yao Hong: (⇀‸↼‶)
If I didn't know the truth, I might actually be moved!
Mi Ye covered her forehead with her hand!
So this was the legendary act of being a bitch and building a chastity arch?
