Chapter 718: You Are All Guilty! (Bonus Chapter)
Danny glared: "I don't believe you! Give me three bottles and let me try!"
Jiangnan shrugged: ╮(•́ꇴ•̀)╭
"Not giving. If I give them to you, who's going to purify the air? Young people should contribute more to the group!"
Danny ground his teeth in rage. Who would want to contribute more?
Your idea of contributing is just sucking farts, isn't it?
Even though he was furious, he had no way to deal with Jiangnan. He simply didn't have the courage to speak anymore.
Too choking...
The two teams headed together toward the western entrance of the city.
As they got closer to the entrance, more and more teams appeared.
Everyone had sallow faces, sunken eyes, and could barely walk straight.
(٥›´Д`‹) Ah~ I'm about to collapse...
After a night of anger eruption, these people still had the strength to walk?
To gain the upper hand, they were really pushing themselves.
Jiangnan couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration.
When they finally reached the western entrance, it was packed with people.
Long lines of teams, each carrying huge backpacks.
There were also several large supply vehicles in the queue, having come early to wait for the abyss entrance to open.
After spending the morning as air purifiers, their faces were green. They kept dry-heaving and coughing, tears streaming down their faces from the stench.
The moment they saw the gear Jiangnan's group was wearing, their heads started buzzing.
Radiation suits? That's a bit much, isn't it?
But remembering how Jiangnan had tricked them into buying the little soybeans, countless murderous glares shot toward Jiangnan.
Yet they couldn't do anything about him—after all, one was willing to buy, the other willing to sell.
Suddenly, the sound of grinding teeth filled the area.
Qin Shou swallowed hard: "Are we really the public enemy?"
Wang Ba trembled: "There are so many people here. Going down into the abyss this time... I have a bad feeling about this."
Xiao Zhen smiled bitterly: "Being remembered by so many people is quite a skill, huh?"
Jiangnan planted his hands on his hips: "You can grind your teeth all you want, but be careful not to grind out sparks, okay?"
"It doesn't matter if you break yourselves, but breaking the flowers and grass would be bad."
[Resentment from Danny Brown +1000!]
[Resentment from Pete...]
One sentence and the resentment values started refreshing like crazy.
"Say that again? You're too infuriating!"
"Did you know beforehand that the queen would use tap water to detoxify everyone, which is why you went crazy selling the beans? Black-hearted profiteer!"
"Where's your conscience? Doesn't it hurt?"
"Cough cough~ _(꒪ཀ꒪」∠)_"
Jiangnan clutched his heart: "Hearing you say that, my conscience really does hurt a little~"
At this, Ling Feng and the others were stunned.
Wait, this guy actually has a conscience?
Then Jiangnan quickly ran to the side, spread a vendor cloth, set up a small stool, and pulled out several boxes of gas masks from his alternate dimension.
"So, to make it up to everyone, I specially brought gas masks to help my brothers and sisters out!"
"Gas mask on your face!"
"Breathe in the sky, breathe in the ground, breathe in the air!"
"Let's all purify the farts together!"
"The city will be beautiful and super sweet!"
୧(´◔ꇴ◔`)☛ "Thirty thousand each, limited stock, first come first served!"
Zhong Yingxue and Xia Yao covered their faces. Little Nan never misses any chance to make money!
Everyone was stunned.
Under these circumstances, you're selling gas masks? And you say you weren't prepared?
Do you think we'll fall for it?
"Not buying! Don't try to cheat another cent out of our pockets!"
"Yeah, yeah! Who wants to purify farts? Once we get to the second layer, it won't be so bad!"
"Everyone's almost here. Open the door already!"
At the stone wall, a thick alloy door was tightly shut, guarded by a team of Nightless City sentinels.
"Not opening! The queen said eight o'clock, so it's eight o'clock!"
Everyone's body stiffened. It was only half past six now—that means another hour and a half of fart inhalation!
Under these circumstances, every extra second was torture!
Even though they were unwilling, they still crowded around the stall.
"Thirty thousand, give me one."
Jiangnan was shocked: "Thirty thousand? I said one hundred thousand each, didn't I?"
Everyone glared: "How is it one hundred thousand? You just said thirty thousand..."
Jiangnan: (๐°᷄口°᷅) "Huh? Are you hallucinating from fart inhalation? I never said that! Don't make things up!"
Everyone ground their teeth in hatred. This was blatant price gouging!
"Can you be any more shameless?"
Jiangnan said seriously: "Trust me, I can!"
[Resentment from Danny Brown +1000!]
In the end, they still spent the money and bought them. Any more inhaling and they might actually get fart poisoning.
Jiangnan was ecstatic. Opportunities really are for the prepared!
Just then, Adams arrived with a team of Fish Country explorers. As soon as he saw Jiangnan, he went berserk.
"Everyone, don't buy anything from him! He's the one behind this! His little soybeans also cause diarrhea!"
And Fito arrived with the Mi Country team. His eyes turned red at the sight of Jiangnan.
"Nightless City turning into this mess is entirely Jiangnan's fault! It's all his scheme!"
Instantly, countless eyes focused on Jiangnan, cold and sharp.
Jiangnan glared back: "Nonsense! You're ungrateful! The queen did that to detoxify everyone, for the sake of her people!"
"Nightless City becoming like this—not a single fart is innocent! What does it have to do with me?"
"Who among you dares to say they didn't contribute to this smog?"
Just as Jiangnan finished, a loud "Wuu tu tu tu tu tu~" sound was heard.
Like the roar of a giant agricultural tractor.
It was Uli and Uke, the siblings, leading the E Country explorers.
Both were pale-faced, their gazes firm, moving step by step, not daring to take big strides.
Behind them, white smoke billowed like a tractor exhaust pipe, fumes surging.
Jiangnan was stunned. As expected of tractor drivers, such a rhythm!
You two are seriously exceeding emission standards!
"See? Now tell me I'm guilty? You're all the guilty ones!"
But by now, nobody cared about that anymore. With the tractor drivers here, the smell was even more eye-watering.
"Hurry! Give me a gas mask! I can't take it anymore!"
"White Emperor Holy Sword team, shut it down! Stop adding to your sin!"
Gas masks sold out again. Fito and Adams were furious.
But they could only endure and wait for the abyss to open.
An hour and a half passed in the blink of an eye. Jiangnan had already packed up, having made another thirty million from this wave.
Ah, feels good!
The alloy door slowly opened, revealing a pitch-black space door inside.
The teams waiting at the entrance rushed madly toward it, only wanting to escape this hell of a fog city as fast as possible.
But Jiangnan wasn't worried at all. No matter how fast they went, it wouldn't help.
Meanwhile, at the Rainbow Lighthouse, Mi Ye, who had slept well, got up from her bed and stretched hard.
She rubbed her sleepy eyes.
(๐⁼̴～ก̀๐) Mm~
She stood up and looked out the window, stunned.
"Huh? Where did all this fog come from? What's going on..."
Confused, Mi Ye opened the window of her balcony. A wave of white gas hit her face.
Mi Ye's eyes widened. She was instantly choked awake, tears streaming down her face. She dropped to her knees and retched, then quickly slammed the window shut.
"Ugh~ What is that smell? Disgusting! Ptooey ptooey! Mei! Get over here!"
Hearing the queen's call, Mei quickly burst in: "What is it, Your Majesty?"
Mi Ye pointed out the window, furious.
(˘•◠•˘｡)☞
"What is that white fog outside?"
Mei: "(๑◔‸◔ิ๑) Farts..."
Mi Ye's eyes widened: "You're getting bold, are you? Talking back to me? You..."
Mei quickly explained, "N-No, it's not that. The white fog outside really is farts!"
Mi Ye: (๐･᷄口･᷅) Huh?!
Seeing the queen angry, Mei hurriedly explained the whole situation.
Mi Ye listened, and the expression on her face gradually turned to horror.
Last night wasn't fireworks? It was the whole city farting all night?
Heavens! What has my Nightless City turned into now?
"That magic bean has side effects? Damn it! Why didn't you tell me?"
Mei was shocked: "Your Majesty didn't know? I... I thought you did!"
Mi Ye was going crazy. How would I know? Nobody ever told me!
Solve the primal sin crisis? Prevent Nightless City from being destroyed?
At this rate, Nightless City is already being destroyed!
Damn Jiangnan! Can you be any more of a scam? Is this what you meant by "I can handle it, trust me"?
[Resentment from Mi Ye +1001!]
Mi Ye was livid. Eight blood-red spider legs burst from her back, and her aura surged.
"Jiang! Nan!"
Her furious shout shattered the glass of the Rainbow Lighthouse and echoed across the whole city.
But as the glass shattered, rolling white gas rushed into the lighthouse.
It choked Mi Ye to tears. She coughed nonstop, quickly wove a mask out of spider silk, and stomped her foot in rage.
"Damn Jiangnan! If I catch you, I'll hang you up and beat you until you cry!"
"Where is he?"
Mei panicked: "He should be at the entrance, waiting for the gate to open!"
Mi Ye ground her teeth. She shot a spider silk thread and flew straight toward the western part of the city.
Mi Ye's angry shout was heard throughout the city.
Jiangnan, who had been waiting in line to enter the abyss, turned pale. His guilty conscience was acting up.
"Crap! Let's go! If we don't leave now, I'll get beaten up!"
He threw out void chains, wrapping them around everyone's waists.
With a single teleport, he brought them directly to the space door and dove in without looking back.
