# Chapter 716: Eight Glasses of Water Every Morning! Healthy Body, Happy Mood
8 PM at the Seawater Desalination Plant!
This was the water supply station for the entire Nightless City, where all the tap water in the city flowed from.
At this moment, Mei was pacing back and forth at the entrance, looking restless and uneasy.
Just then, Jiangnan teleported beside her with a brilliant smile: "Yo? Sister Mei, lovely evening, isn't it?"
Mei's pretty face was cold: "You sure know how to drag things out. The abyss entrance opens tomorrow, and you're only coming today to handle this?"
Jiangnan chuckled: "Good things come to those who wait!"
Heaven knows what kind of nightmare Nightless City would turn into after he put soybean powder here? For the sake of his personal safety, he naturally had to delay.
Once he went down into the abyss, it wouldn't be his problem anymore, gahaha~
The two arrived together at the pump station's reservoir. Jiangnan had already opened his alternate dimension and dragged out a grinder from inside!
Sacks of small soybeans were being hauled out.
Nightless City's permanent population was around a million, and one jin of small soybeans was roughly 800 beans!
Only 1250 jin would be enough to give each person one soybean.
And one jin of small soybeans only cost 100 Resentment Points to exchange.
Jiangnan rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
(⑉꒪ͦก꒪ͦ): "Everyone in Nightless City is deeply infected by the Original Sin toxin. Since this is the first time releasing it, let's do a little extra!"
"Let everyone have a good purge. I'm just too selflessly giving."
So Jiangnan waved his hand generously and exchanged for 2000 jin of small soybeans!
Watching from the side, Mei was speechless. Does this guy have no shame? He's even praising himself?
Seeing Jiangnan about to carry the soybeans and dump them into the grinder, Mei looked uneasy: "Hey! Wait a moment..."
She knew all too well the side effects of this stuff, still fresh in her memory!
If the whole city drank water mixed with soybean powder...
Just thinking about it made Mei shiver. The Queen must know the consequences of doing this, right?
Jiangnan rolled his eyes: "At a time like this, what's there to hesitate about?"
"Hesitation leads to defeat, decisiveness leads to a freebie?"
Mei: ???
Can't there be a good outcome for once?
"But the Queen, she..."
Jiangnan urged: "The Queen's intentions are beyond our ability to guess, aren't they? Since she told us to do this, she must have her reasons!"
"Besides, we're not doing anything bad here? We're detoxifying everyone!"
"Or do you have a better way? If we keep hesitating, Nightless City will be destroyed in less than half a month!"
Under Jiangnan's devil-like whispers, Mei's eyes gradually hardened. She gritted her teeth and said: "Do it! Add more!"
Jiangnan: ᕙ(՞ٹ՞)☛ "Roger that!"
The grinder started up, and Jiangnan poured in a full 2000 jin of soybeans, grinding them into powder and mixing them into the reservoir!
The pump sent it into Nightless City's tap water network!
After finishing all this, Jiangnan patted his hands with satisfaction. Even though he was a bit of a devil, he'd never done anything this big before!
But Mei was still uneasy: "Will... will this really save Nightless City?"
Jiangnan: "It probably, maybe, seems like it could, perhaps?"
Mei: (｡˘•～•˘｡)……
[Resentment Points from Mei +1000!]
Can't you give me a definite answer? You're making me very nervous!
Jiangnan chuckled: "It's already done, there's no turning back now! What are you afraid of?"
"The most important thing now is to let the small soybeans fully take effect and solve Nightless City's crisis!"
"Otherwise, wouldn't all our effort have been for nothing?"
Mei swallowed her saliva: "I... what should I do?"
(๐°᷄³°᷅)(｡˘•ꇴ•˘｡)
"Gurgle gurgle gurgle~"
Mei's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea, I'll go take care of it!"
Before leaving, Jiangnan spent another 3 million Resentment Points to exchange for 30,000 jin of Detoxifying Small Soybeans and piled them here.
That should be enough to last Nightless City for a few months.
...
Walking through the streets and alleys, Jiangnan strolled along, looking at the dazzling lights of Nightless City with a nostalgic smile on his face.
Might as well take a good look while he could. Who knows if he'd ever see it again.
"Clang~"
A strange sound came from the manhole cover he stepped on. Jiangnan scratched his head, didn't pay it much mind, and continued walking forward.
A little while later, the manhole cover tilted up a bit, and a faint gaze emerged from inside.
(⸝⸝･ˇ～ˇ･⸝⸝)
Looking left and right to make sure no one was around, a grimy-faced little figure—Lan—pushed open the manhole cover and climbed out.
Rubbing her head in annoyance: "Who stepped on me? Don't they know stepping on manhole covers brings bad luck?"
Her stomach growled again. Lan cautiously walked toward the food stall, looking very alert.
She didn't know why, but recently there had been Dandelion people looking for her all the time.
Lan was a bit scared, worried it might be because she stole that magical bean. If she got caught, she'd definitely be beaten to death. So she'd been hiding in her secret underground base in the sewers.
Even though Dandelion had many people, after all these days, they hadn't even caught a glimpse of Lan.
Jiangnan was just enjoying the night view when suddenly, all the shop signs and LED screens in Nightless City switched simultaneously!
A video started playing on a loop.
In the video, Blue Wave and Pink Wave each held a cup, filling it from the faucet, then clinked glasses and drank it all down in one go!
Gulp gulp, each drank eight cups!
Then they clapped at the camera, winked, and stuck out their tongues.
٩(๑˃᷄ڡ❛ั)人(❛ัڡ˂᷅๐)۶
They spoke in unison!
"Eight glasses of water before sleep!"
"Healthy body, happy mood!"
"Eight glasses of water when you wake!"
"Full of spirit, ready to take!"
"Drink water to detox, regret it if you don't!"
Jiangnan laughed heartily. Mei sure worked fast!
He hadn't drunk it himself—how'd she catch those two to shoot the ad?
Blue Wave: (∗❛ัᴗ❛ั) "Sister, is this your water?"
Pink Wave: (∗･᷄ᴗ･᷅) "No, it's your water! Best when drinking two cups together!"
Jiangnan: ~Pfft (˃᷄ε˂᷅｡)
Best commercial of the year, right?
He almost wanted to hire them to shoot an ad for his products.
With such comprehensive coverage, anyone in Nightless City had almost certainly received the message.
People were confused. Such a wide-ranging ad could only be pulled off by the Queen, right?
"Telling everyone to drink water? What's going on? Damn, those two are so cute!"
"Drinking water can detoxify the Original Sin toxin? No way! The Queen found a way to remove the Wrath Original Sin erosion and added it to the water? Seriously?"
"Gulp gulp! Haa~ It's true! I feel completely refreshed, clear and energetic! My angry heart has calmed down!"
"Wait... this water can detoxify? Then what the hell was the point of me spending big money on those magical beans?!"
In an instant, the whole city erupted in curses!
Two earth-shattering angry roars came from the Mi Ying Explorer camp, while the crying from the Yu Kingdom camp grew even louder!
The goodwill Jiangnan had just built up collapsed instantly!
"Pfft~ Scammer! I shouldn't have believed his lies!"
"I said, how could Jiang Devil be so kind? Not caring about anything, just focused on making money? I've been royally screwed!"
"Ah~ Bastard Boss Jiang isn't human! He ran off with my spirit bead!"
Screams like those of groundhogs echoed throughout Nightless City.
Those who had spent money buying small soybeans felt like smashing their heads against the wall!
They could have just brought water into the abyss, but Jiangnan had ruthlessly scammed them. They were clutching their small soybeans, not even willing to eat them.
Now, with red eyes, they bit down on faucets, turned on the water, and drank like mad!
This was all money! They had to drink their money's worth!
Ever heard of revenge drinking?
At this moment, Jiangnan's Resentment Points list blurred from scrolling!
The total Resentment Points skyrocketed, growing so fast he couldn't even check anymore.
Jiangnan swallowed his saliva and quickly teleported back to the Huaxia camp.
By now, Ling Feng and the others were watching the ads on the street, faces pale, looking at Jiangnan in horror!
"Nan Shen... that water isn't poisoned, is it?"
Jiangnan cleared his throat: "Lock your doors and windows tight tonight, put in earplugs!"
"Get a good rest. Tomorrow we head for the abyss."
Ling Feng and the others broke out in cold sweat. No one was this ruthless!
They hurried off to seal their doors and windows, even taping them shut!
Jiangnan teleported back to his room, raised his hand to release a spatial barrier cage, isolating everything!
He hugged Xiao Jiuwo, watching the rapidly refreshing Resentment Points list, and drifted off to sleep.
Tomorrow would be another brand new day~
...
Even without the ad reminder, anyone would have to drink water—life can't do without it.
As cup after cup of water went down, people's faces broke into brilliant smiles!
That feeling of complete refreshment and clarity—they hadn't felt it since the abyss anomaly began!
They were freed from the erosion of the Wrath Original Sin. Truly, the Queen of Nightless City never stopped thinking about her people.
But before they could be happy for long, everyone's stomachs began to rumble like thunder!
Everyone's expressions stiffened, cold sweat pouring down their foreheads.
Through the catalysis of the small soybeans, the Wrath Original Sin toxin accumulated in their bodies had turned into surges of anger!
And when the anger filled up...
It burst the pipes!
