**Chapter 740: All Good-for-Nothings**
They'd even marked the path for him. Not going would be rude, wouldn't it?
Jiangnan was actually quite keen on blocking the door on the third layer. Whoever got the core, he could just snatch it at the entrance, right? But unfortunately, the Huaxia seventh-layer exploration team was still down below. He had no choice but to go down.
So he stuffed his precious missiles back into the alternate dimension.
Following the stone path, he swaggered along with everyone else toward the signal station.
"Xiao Jiuwo!"
He didn't even need a glance; Jiangnan just had to lift—no, just open his mouth, and his master knew exactly what he wanted.
Opening wide, a single Great Flaming Sun blasted the signal station responsible for sending messages to smithereens.
Meanwhile, at the stone wall entrance, the alloy door was violently forced open by the group.
Inside the laboratory, Nova pulled at her hair in utter frenzy, grinding her teeth in fury.
You really just go wherever and wreck whatever, don't you?
But she had no way to deal with Jiangnan. All she could do was watch helplessly as Jiangnan and the other two groups rode the giant centipede away, leaving behind nothing but a giant pit, the enormous "friendly" emoji on the plain, and a pleading sentence...
[From Nova. Sophia: Resentment Value +1000!]
"Let him be arrogant for a while. The one leading this time is Fito!"
"The more arrogant he is now, the worse it'll be when he meets Fito!"
In the giant pit, three to four hundred explorers, covered in blood and tears, climbed out with difficulty.
Vomiting and crying at the same time, their eyes full of terror.
(｡恐ཀ惧): "It's too damn hard being alive!"
Were they crying from pain, from the stench, or from the emotional release of surviving a disaster? No one knew.
Just thinking about Jiangnan made them shudder.
Guarding for two weeks? They couldn't even hold it for two hours!
...
On the fourth layer, endless mountains stretched on, the light even dimmer than the third layer.
But that was no problem for the "baldies," especially since the giant centipede had its high beams on.
The mountain forest was eerily silent; not a single beast roar could be heard.
Now the Red Face subway had turned into a roller coaster, carrying everyone as it leaped through the lofty mountains and ridges.
Its off-road ability was practically MAX, and its speed was astonishing.
Lying on the giant centipede's back, Jiangnan fell into thought.
The fourth layer's core was in the hands of the Goose Nation. Once he sold his "spatial backpack," he could get past it somehow.
The fifth layer was a resource layer, with the core held by the Eagle Nation, but he had already made an agreement with Danny, so there shouldn't be any trouble.
He had to get down to the seventh layer as soon as possible. The exploration team there had sent out a distress signal long ago. Only by going down would he know the exact situation.
Half an hour passed quickly. Logically, with such a commotion, spirit beasts should have attacked by now.
But the fourth layer was terrifyingly quiet. Not a single spirit beast was encountered.
Perplexed, Jiangnan couldn't help but punch the giant centipede's head.
"Run faster! Why are you slowing down? Need surgery?"
Giant Centipede: (๐⁼̴ᯅ⁼̴๐) Hiss~
Xiong Er stretched lazily: "Brother Nan! He says he wants to rest a while. He's tired from running so long!"
Running and running, it actually stopped.
Jiangnan glared: "Tired? As a qualified tool beast, you're not allowed to have emotions like tiredness, understand?"
But at this moment, everyone else had already gotten off the roller coaster.
"Aiya, Nan Shen, just show a little compassion! We're tired too. Let's rest here for a bit!"
"Mm~ It hasn't been peaceful all the way. It's time to take a break!"
"We need to balance work and rest. More rest means more work. Let me rest a little!"
"The night is so dark, the night so quiet. Wouldn't it be a waste not to sleep?"
Everyone had wandered into the woods, found a tree stump, sat down with enjoyment, and immediately collapsed into a "boss chair" position, sprawled all over the place.
When Jiangnan looked back, even the giant centipede had coiled up and fallen asleep.
Jiangnan glared: "What the hell have you been working on? You've been resting the whole time!"
"Let's go, or they'll get the first move!"
Gong Lin: (｡⁼̴～⁼̴) "What does it matter? Fito and his team have been down there for so long. They've definitely already got the first move. Hurrying won't help!"
"Let me rest a *billion*—just a *billion*—seconds!"
Jiangnan put his hands on his hips: "What about the brothers on the seventh layer? Aren't we going to save them? Get up and move, dammit!"
Xiao Zhen: (｡⁼̴꒫⁼̴) "No one said we wouldn't save them. It won't make a difference in a short while. Life lies in stillness!"
Now everyone was too lazy to even put effort into speaking.
"Hey~ Why did human ancestors evolve to walk on two legs? Isn't crawling while lying down comfortable?"
"My ancestors might not have been monkeys. They were probably sloths. Breathing is so tiring. I don't want to breathe anymore!"
"No, I can't be this lazy. But I've contracted a disease where I die the moment I move!"
"Don't compare laziness with me. I'm too lazy to compare!"
Jiangnan was dumbfounded. All good-for-nothings?
How had everyone turned into "come-on star people"? Could they be any lazier?
They didn't even want to breathe?
All this impressive?
Only then did Jiangnan notice a hurricane tiger, starved to skin and bones, lying by the bushes, sleeping soundly.
When it heard Jiangnan's noise, it just lifted its eyelid, glanced at them, and closed its eyes again.
Too lazy to even eat?
Jiangnan finally understood why the fourth layer was so quiet. Probably all the spirit beasts were too lazy to move!
Was the sin covering the fourth layer the Sin of Sloth?
This sin was more terrifying than any other layer's. Human laziness was something buried deep in the bones.
Jiangnan scratched his head. How come he didn't feel affected?
Was he usually this hardworking?
"Hurry up and eat the Detoxifying Soybeans. You've been eroded by the Sin of Sloth. Don't sleep, Da Lang Mie!"
Xia Yao: (｡˘～˘｡)
"Hey~ I'd have to open the backpack, take it out, put it in my mouth, chew it, and then *prrrrt* later. I don't want to move~"
"Xiao Nan, can you feed me?"
Helplessly, Jiangnan took out a small soybean, pried open Xia Yao's mouth, pulled out her tongue, and tossed it in.
"There! Eat up!"
But Xia Yao's breathing gradually evened out. She was too lazy to even retract her tongue.
(๑˘ڡ˘๑) Snore~
She hadn't even swallowed it.
Jiangnan covered his face. He finally understood the despair Xuexue must have felt when she fed him a soybean, and he stubbornly refused to eat.
Looking around, except for a dozen or so people, everyone had turned into useless lumps.
Jiangnan rubbed his eyes. He was starting to feel like resting too...
Without hesitation, he pinched his own thigh hard. Fine! You forced me to do this!
He started frantically pulling Extreme-Speed Slippers out of his backpack.
Why bother detoxifying? Nobody wanted to move, right?
Today, I'll show you what it means to be unable to stop!
He immediately took off Da Lang Mie's shoes and put on the Extreme-Speed Slippers.
Then he began a full-on slipper-replacement operation.
Jiang Double Standard was online. At least he put the slippers on the girls' feet.
As for the guys? Who the hell was going to put slippers on them? Jiangnan just slipped them onto their hands!
At this moment, Roberta looked at Jiangnan with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
As a diligent maid, her resistance to the Sin of Sloth was also quite strong.
Jiangnan wasn't stingy. He directly distributed enough slippers to both the Yu and Goose factions.
After all, the sixth layer was controlled by the Yu Nation. It was better not to strain relations too much before getting past it.
Now everyone had changed into small slippers. Even Jiangnan himself was wearing a pair.
He had Mi La on his back. She was so cute; of course he wouldn't put slippers on her. Spoiling her was the only option.
Jiangnan pulled out a megaphone and hoisted a huge intercontinental missile onto his shoulder.
"Everyone, look over here!"
"I'm counting to three! Then I'm gonna light it up! No lies!"
"Three! Two! ..."
Jiangnan's shout woke everyone up. They looked at him with sleepy eyes.
Mm? Nan Shen said he'd count to three and light something? What thing?
Blearily, they focused on the missile on Jiangnan's shoulder and instantly snapped awake.
Light a missile?
We just wanted to sleep and rest for a bit, and you're going to blow us up with a missile?
How come you look more casual lighting a missile than a firecracker?
Jiangnan: (･᷄ὢ･᷅) "One!"
He opened his laptop, ready to press the button. He didn't look like he was joking at all!
At that moment, terror gripped everyone. Getting bombed by a missile at this close range?
They would really die, dammit!
Their fear of death overcame their laziness. Faces turning pale, they scrambled with both hands and feet, crawling and charging out, fleeing for their lives.
But the moment they started moving, they realized something was wrong. When the hell did they get these slippers on?
The girls' legs turned into blurs as they charged out, their faces full of terror, screaming as they kicked up clouds of dust behind them.
๛๛๛ጿ～ Ah!
As for the guys, they weren't so lucky. Heads down, hands frantically scratching the ground, they sped off upside down at terrifying speeds.
๛๛๛ኈ～ Holy crap!
[From Xiao Zhen: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Qin Shou: Resentment Value +1000!]
[From Glasses Bro...]
"I knew it, dammit!"
Ling Feng felt his ass burning. He opened his eyes groggily and found himself being dragged along the ground, with two holes worn through his pants.
He was experiencing a real "ass brake."
"Ow ow ow! Stop! I'm getting shredded! Wang Ba, stop, dammit!"
Looking up, he saw Wang Ba speeding head-down with a terrified expression, a chain wrapped around his body, which was in turn wrapped around Ling Feng's mechanical arm.
Ling Feng was stunned. Was he walking Wang Ba, or was Wang Ba walking him?
[From Ling Feng: Resentment Value +1000!]
Wang Ba panicked: "You think I don't want to stop? I can't stop!"
[From Wang Ba...]
Seeing that Ling Feng hadn't been left behind, Jiangnan nodded with satisfaction.
Ling Feng only had one arm, so he couldn't wear slippers on his feet. Jiangnan didn't want to change his shoes for him, so to save trouble, he just tied him to Wang Ba.
He didn't even have to run himself. Such a good deal!
Why was he complaining about me? So strange!
