Chapter 835: Forget It! I'm Coming Clean! (Bonus Chapter)
Although Jiangnan was a bit devilish, he still kept his word!
He raised his hand and removed the spatial barrier, and the fragrance inside wafted out!
Chen Peng and the others were immediately moved to tears, gagging and vomiting!
Ugh (*ཀ*;)
Finally, they understood why Chen Lang had revealed the cultivation method of the Spirit Gauze!
It was too stinky; who could withstand it!
At this moment, Jiangnan looked at his little notebook, his eyes sparkling!
Sure enough, this Spirit Gauze was a pure application technique of spirit power!
The spirit power beam flowed through the body along a special route, altering its characteristics!
Then it was emitted through the pores of the skin!
Forming a spirit power gauze cloak!
After figuring out the principle and the spirit power circulation route, Jiangnan couldn't wait to start trying!
[Skill Trigger! Spirit Art.Spirit Power Gauze (Beginner): LV0!]
[Add skill points?]
Jiangnan laughed heartily. Indeed, as long as there was a reliable start, that was enough!
The rest could be deduced by the system!
At this moment, Jiangnan felt the system was super reliable!
[Add skill points: 100!]
[Spirit Art.Spirit Power Gauze (Beginner): LV10!]
Jiangnan: ‼(•'口'•۶)۶ Huh?
Previously, a skill only needed a hundred points to upgrade from beginner to proficient!
Why did it only go up 10 levels this time?
It was ten times more expensive than before, you know!
[Due to the special nature of this skill, which falls under the category of spirit art, the required skill points are multiplied!]
Jiangnan ground his tiger teeth. Price gouging! Was the system trying to fleece him again?
He had just praised it!
So what if it was expensive? He had plenty of skill points!
Because he hadn't set up a stall in a long time, the skill points had dropped to just over 400,000!
And the small amount of money from the transaction just now with Chen Lang was all deducted by the system to repay the stall debt!
The converted skill points amounted to a full 2.3 million!
Now the total had reached over 2.7 million!
Just pour them in!
[Add skill points: 900!]
[Skill Upgrade! Spirit Art.Spirit Power Gauze (Proficient): LV0!]
Countless knowledge and memories about the Spirit Gauze surged into his mind, as natural as instinct!
Jiangnan grinned. Looking at the little notebook again, he noticed that the spirit power circulation route actually had several errors!
It probably wasn't Chen Lang misleading him;
Rather, the Chen family themselves had practiced it wrong?
At this moment, Chen Lang had finally crawled out of a pile of yellow with great effort!
Seeing Jiangnan's spirit power surging, he couldn't help but sneer, "No way? You're actually practicing it? You'll make a fool of yourself!"
"Do you really think you're a peerless genius? Even just getting started will take at least six months to a year to achieve!"
"I advise you not to mess around, or the clan will..."
Jiangnan: ୧(๐･᷄ὢ･᷅) "Sorry, I never change my name when I travel! Call me Genius Jiang!"
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the Spirit Gauze burst through his body!
A glaze-colored spirit power, like blazing flames, covered Jiangnan's entire body!
Forming a dense layer of Spirit Gauze!
Chen Lang: Σ(ŎДŎ|||)ﾉﾉ "Ah!"
Chen Peng: (°Д°٥) "What the heck!"
What kind of sorcery was this? This was the Chen family's inherited spirit art secret technique!
How did you learn it just by glancing at it?
And the density was even better than his own!
Had he wasted six years of training?
"How is this possible? How did you do it?"
Jiangnan: ╮(•́ω•̀)╭
"Isn't it just easy as pie? Something this simple, and you practiced for six years? Are you mentally challenged or what?"
[Skill points added: 1.11 million!]
[Skill Upgrade! Spirit Art.Spirit Power Gauze (Advanced): LV0!]
Sure enough, the skill points required to upgrade the spirit art had multiplied tenfold!
Previously, a little over a million would have been enough to max it out!
But now it only brought it to advanced!
To max it out, it would probably need ten million skill points!
Yet Jiangnan didn't feel a bit of regret, because the effect of the Spirit Gauze after upgrading was simply too awesome!
It was definitely worth it!
[From Chen Lang's Resentment Value: +1000!]
[From Chen Peng...]
Heck, "easy as pie"? The two of them were about to go crazy!
How did Jiangnan learn it?
"Boom!"
Another explosion! The Spirit Gauze surrounding Jiangnan surged wildly!
It even reached a thickness of over a meter!
From a distance, it looked like a ball of glaze-colored flame, with Jiangnan's body at the core!
This was practically comparable to the golden aura around a Super Saiyan after transformation!
Chen Lang immediately spit out a mouthful of old blood, collapsed to the ground in fright, his face full of shock!
(٥ම口ම) "What... what is this? Is it the Spirit Gauze? Oh my god!"
Chen Peng was also stunned: "You're not human, are you? You're a Saiyan, right? How can the Spirit Gauze be this thick?"
Even the clan members who had perfected the Spirit Gauze to its utmost were not even a third as thick as yours!
How are you even better than our ancestors?
This isn't scientific!
Jiangnan sighed: "I wanted to get along with you as an ordinary person! Forget it! I'm coming clean!"
Chen Lang was horrified! This guy really was a Saiyan!
Jiangnan: (･᷅ὢ･᷄) "Actually, I'm a Jinchuriki!"
The next moment, the Spirit Power Gauze cloak suddenly changed shape, like a lump of dough being kneaded freely!
It directly transformed into the form of a nine-tailed fox, enveloping Jiangnan inside!
The glaze-colored nine-tailed fox was domineering and unparalleled!
At this point, the brains of Chen Lang and Chen Peng brothers went completely blank!
∑(っ°口°;)っ
"Hiss—how can it even transform? We can't do that!"
What Jinchuriki? Could you be any more chuunibyou?
Jiangnan raised his hand and snapped his fingers!
The Spirit Gauze changed again, this time into Patrick Star, Teletubbies, Optimus Prime...
Finally, it turned into a huge middle finger!
(๑･᷄ٹ･᷅) "Aren't you scramming? Want a taste of my big sword?"
As he spoke, he pulled out a mithril greatsword, ready to chop at the two of them!
Chen Lang and Chen Peng were stunned for a long time.
"J-just you wait! You've learned our Chen family's spirit art; the clan won't let you off!"
With that, they hurried back to call for help. This matter was way too serious!
Jiangnan's Spirit Gauze had exceeded all understanding, even surpassing the best recorded in the clan's history!
This time, they had really messed up!
Jiangnan watched the two flee but didn't stop them. Instead, he smiled brilliantly.
If they came to talk nicely, he would teach them the subsequent cultivation methods of the Spirit Gauze.
If they tried to be tough, then he would see who was tougher!
The Spirit Gauze on his body dissipated, and Jiangnan's face turned slightly pale.
Upgraded to the advanced level, the Spirit Gauze's defensive power was terrifying! Its damage reduction effect was astonishing!
The only problem was that maintaining the Spirit Gauze consumed a lot of spirit power, since it continuously dissipated into the air and needed constant supply.
But that wasn't a problem for Jiangnan; a bite of durian pulp would replenish it!
And he had gained another trump card!
Turning to look at Roland and Yu Qiao, Jiangnan became excited again: "You said the Star Network Trading Platform is ready? Let me see it!"
Roland worriedly said, "Boss Nan Shen, this conflict with the Chen family didn't end well. They..."
Jiangnan grinned: "Don't worry, I've got this!"
The group headed together to the computer room of the headquarters building!
Roland took out a USB drive shaped like a dandelion and handed it to Jiangnan. It looked very girly.
"This is the login USB drive for our Star Network Trading Platform. It records the real information of all customers!"
"We've already prepared and sent login drives to some major clients!"
"As for others who want to join the Star Network for trading, they need to apply to us and pay an entry fee!"
Jiangnan chuckled. As expected of Yao Hong!
She really knew how to do business!
"How's it going now?"
Yu Qiao excitedly said, "Because the platform acts as a guarantor, handling the goods and payments between both parties as an intermediary, it prevents black-market conflicts!"
"As soon as it went online, it became very popular. Many underground organization big shots have already joined!"
"We've even snatched quite a bit of traffic from the dark web!"
"Business is booming. We only take a small commission and don't participate directly in transactions, and that's enough for us to profit!"
Jiangnan rubbed his hands together eagerly and plugged the USB drive into the computer!
The screen went dark instantly, then lit up again!
As soon as he entered, there was a background of an endless grassland under a starry sky!
The grassland was covered in dandelions, fireflies fluttered around, and soothing music played!
Jiangnan was stunned!
Holy crap! Was this really an underground trading network?
So poetic? So stylish? Were girls' hearts really this meticulous?
But the observant Jiangnan noticed a Q-version silhouette on the grassland, standing among the dandelions, hands on hips, looking up at the starry sky!
Jiangnan asked curiously, "Who is that silhouette?"
Roland covered her mouth and chuckled: "It's you! Does it look good?"
Jiangnan covered his face: (ﾉ)﹏(ヾ)
Dandelions really knew how to do things!
After logging in, he officially entered the website. Various functions were available!
Selling section, trading section, chatroom, live-streaming sales section, and even a bounty assassination list—everything you could think of!
Keeping up with the times, even Jiangnan couldn't help but give a thumbs up!
It was simply wonderful... ah, anyway, it was simply wonderful!
Just then, Jiangnan remembered the treasures he had scraped together in his alternate dimension!
"Sell them!"
Otherwise, where would he get the money to pay off his debts?
It's the weekend! Qing Feng is happily spinning in circles—yahoo~
