# Chapter 831: Being Your True Self

Hu Shuo was also shaken by Jiangnan's firm and decisive response!

He quickly pressed further: "Oh? Is that so?"
"As far as we know, the Crimson Queen specifically modified the Abyss regulations for you, putting your name on it!"
"Isn't that the reason?"

Jiangnan felt a bit guilty. Sister Mi Ye, that bad sister, turned her face and refused to recognize him!
Writing me into the regulations, not allowing the big account to enter? Don't I need face?

"It's... it's not that at all. You also know that the Crimson Queen hates men. It's probably because there's a 'Nan' in my name, so..."
Hu Shuo: (٥・᷄ㅂ・᷅)

Are you seriously talking nonsense? Even better at making things up than me?
But why does it actually sound somewhat reasonable!

"Let's change the question! This Abyss trip, you stood out, defeating the elites of top academies from various countries!"
"It's said that in Pioneer Academy, you have almost no rivals!"
"Nationally and even internationally, there's a rumor that you're the World's Strongest Platinum!"
"What do you think about this title?"

Jiangnan smiled: "I look at it with my phone!"

Hu Shuo: Pfft ꉂꉂ(ŎεŎ|||)
[From Hu Shuo's Resentment Value +1000!]

Here you go again?
Who was your Chinese teacher? Step forward! I'll fight her to the death!

The reporters beside them were holding back their laughter, faces turning red. We're professionals! Unless we really can't help it!

Tao Xinyi: (ノ)﹏(ヾ)
Ahh, so embarrassing, darn it!
As her mentor, I haven't taught my student well. I'm guilty!

Hu Shuo quickly composed herself: "I mean your opinion! Just share your thoughts!"

The other reporters looked expectant. As expected of Sister Shuo, she asks the hard-hitting questions!

Jiangnan scratched his head: "You don't really think I'm the strongest platinum, do you? I'm only Platinum II, and I don't even have any skills to use!"
"How could the strongest platinum be me?"

Hu Shuo was stunned, then laughed: "I didn't expect Nan Shen to be as humble as ever!"
"Since you say you're not the world's strongest platinum, you must have someone in mind, right? Who would it be?"

Jiangnan: (๐°᷄ٹ°᷅) "Of course, it's my future self at Platinum Peak!"

Hu Shuo: Σ(*゚д゚ノ)ノ Huh?

As soon as these words came out, everyone got goosebumps!
Wow, is this Nan Shen's confident arrogance?
Humble? Bullshit!
You really dare to say that!
Platinum level! The only one who can defeat me is my future self?

Hu Shuo's pretty face flushed with excitement. This is exactly the kind of material she loves!
"Are you that confident?"

Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"Nope, I'm just stating a fact!"

At this moment, the students didn't doubt Jiangnan's words at all!
Those who haven't seen Nan Shen go crazy will never know how strong he really is.
What's that saying? There's always a sky beyond the sky, a man beyond men? Sorry, Nan Shen is that sky beyond the sky! That man beyond men!
He's truly fierce!

And Jiangnan had nothing to fear!
"The tree that sticks out gets felled by the wind"? I'm sticking out, so what?
If you don't like it, come and try to fell me!
If you hide your blade for too long, it gets dull. Grandpa Di even told me to show my sharp edge. Why should I hide anymore?

Hu Shuo continued asking: "At the award ceremony, I noticed the Dragon Token given to you by the Secretary-General!"
"Along the way, you've endured a lot of hardship, and everyone has witnessed your growth!"
"What are your thoughts on this Dragon Token, or rather, the heavy responsibility the country has entrusted to you?"

Jiangnan rubbed his nose and straightened his expression: "Everyone knows I'm a Space System user! And Space System has special significance for a country!"
"I feel that when I have this ability but don't use it, then all the bad things that happen afterward are my own responsibility!"
"With the Abyss Core, I thought I could fight for it, so I did, because it could save many people!"
"Next time, and the time after that, it will be the same!"

Hu Shuo stared at Jiangnan for a long time, then smiled brilliantly.
"I see. It wasn't that you were awarded the Dragon Token."
"Because you are the Nan Shen you are, you earned the Dragon Token!"

At this moment, the live stream chat was flooded with red text, completely obscuring everyone's faces!
All saying, "Glory to our Great Nan Shen!"

Hu Shuo smiled: "Alright! Let's move to the interactive segment. Let's randomly pick a netizen's question to ask, shall we?"

Jiangnan: (ૢ⁼̴ᴗ⁼̴) "Gotta add money!"

Hu Shuo almost choked on her saliva. She pulled out another two hundred and stuffed it into Jiangnan's arms!
"Eh? This question is pretty good. If you had the chance to add three centimeters to anything, where would you add it?"

As she spoke, Hu Shuo handed the microphone to Xia Yao!

Xia Yao was suddenly faced with the camera, and two blushes rose on her pretty face.
"I'd... I'd add it to my height, so I'd be the same height as Xiao Nan!"

Hu Shuo: (˵ಡกಡ) "Eh? An expected answer!"

Then the microphone aimed at Zhong Yingxue: "And our Flame Queen?"

Zhong Yingxue subconsciously glanced downward, her earlobes turning red. She quickly said, "Add... add to height too!"

Jiangnan: (。ಡ.̮ಡ。)
Xuexue's words don't match her heart! You could just add to your height!
Compared to the beginning, you've already grown a lot!

The microphone turned to Wu Liang!

Wu Liang burst out laughing: "Add three centimeters? For Miao Miao, of course, I'd add it where it should be added!"

Jiangnan: Pfft ꉂꉂ(꒪ͦε꒪ͦ||)

Zhong Yingxue: (⇀‸↼‶)!
Xia Yao: (≖_≖)

Hu Shuo was completely stunned by Wu Liang. At this moment, the entire hall fell silent, everyone staring at Wu Liang in shock!

Jiangnan covered his face!
What the hell is "where it should be added"!
Brother, you just said what every man dreams of, but you're supposed to keep that kind of truth in your heart!
This is a live broadcast!

The livestream instantly went black and disconnected!

Hu Zhou was sweating profusely: "Our livestream got banned. Hold on, I'll fix it soon!"

Hu Shuo, face red: (٥Embarrassed)
"This... this classmate is very genuine, but this is a live broadcast, so we still need to be a bit careful with our words!"

Wu Liang was speechless. I just answered your question!
Being my true self!
Is that wrong?

The microphone then turned to Xiong Er: "This bear-bear! What about you?"

Xiong Er scratched his head: ୧(๑•̌㉨•̑) "Me?"
"Of course, I'll follow my big brother Wu Liang!"

Hu Shuo's microphone clattered to the ground!
Σ(๑ŏ口ŏ)

This program can't go on! Didn't this bear-bear hear what I just said?
Watch your words! You two are no different!

Hu Zhou said darkly: "Give me 30 seconds!"

Jiangnan couldn't hold back his laughter. These two are truly brothers, both banned-from-broadcast type contestants!
This is what being real is all about!

Hu Shuo picked up the microphone with tears in her eyes and asked Jiangnan: "What about Nan Shen?"
Please, be serious for once!

Jiangnan waved his hand grandly: "I'd definitely add it to the territory!"

Hu Shuo: (´-﹏-`;)
Can you be any more serious? I paid you!
[From Hu Shuo's Resentment Value +666!]

The chat was going wild!
"HAHAHA! Nan Shen's answers never disappoint!"
"Devil! I can see red light flashing in Nan Shen's eyes! Keep it up, Shuo Shuo!"
"ꉂꉂ(˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅*)HAHAHA... hiccup~"

Xiao Jiuwo also squeezed up to the microphone!
(◍˃᷄ꇴ˂᷅): "Me! Me! I'd add my three centimeters to Master's bank balance!"

Mila raised her hand too: ヽ(ᵔᗜᵔ*) "I'll also add balance for Brother Jiangnan!"

In an instant, all the reporters were melted by these two little cuties!

Jiangnan hugged Mila and Xiao Jiuwo affectionately: "You two are angels, aren't you?"

The press conference finally ended amidst a burst of noise!

Originally, they planned to return to Pioneer Academy, but it was getting dark, and everyone was tired from the day.
They decided to leave it for tomorrow!

When they went to the Abyss, it was winter. Now spring had begun, so Zhong Yingxue and the others took the opportunity to go to the mall.
They wanted to buy some spring clothes!

Wu Liang, on the other hand, hurried back to the hotel, eager to absorb the spirit bead and see what kind of spirit technique it would give him!

Jiangnan had originally planned to go shopping too, but he received a message from the backbone of the Dandelion, the sisters Roland and Yuqiao.
They said that the Star Luo Underground Trading Network had been initially completed and was on track, asking him to come check it out!

Jiangnan was immediately delighted!
His heavily invested project had finally succeeded?
The stall rental debt now had a way to be paid!
On this Abyss trip, he had collected quite a few treasures. Just putting them up for sale would bring in money!
And there were the nine "found" big swords too!

Changing into casual clothes at the hotel, Jiangnan teleported directly to the Dandelion headquarters in Jingdu.
