# Chapter 896: Fate! Wonderful Beyond Words! (Extra Update)
This boss battle ultimately ended with the ten-man team being completely wiped out!
But it wasn't for nothing—at least they managed to shave off a bit of Jiangnan's health bar!
Danny and the others were carried off on stretchers, treated by a professional medical team.
Bandages were wrapped around them with click-clack sounds, and plaster casts were applied.
Shirley suddenly woke up on the stretcher, feeling like her head was splitting and her eyes were blurry!
"The match? Did we win or lose? Jiangnan, he..."
Before she could finish, she saw Jiangnan drinking Lei Bi by the sidelines, his face rosy and refreshed, enjoying the summer!
Seeing Shirley wake up, his eyes lit up, and he raised an eyebrow at her.
(๑◔◡◔ิ)✧
Shirley's body stiffened. She looked to the side and saw nine others lying on stretchers, all with dark faces, not saying a word!
Tom was still urging: "Hurry up and bandage. We already bought the afternoon plane tickets. Get it done quick!"
Staying here even one more second was torture!
Shirley's face crumpled, and she said pitifully.
(･᷄～･᷅) "Did you buy my plane ticket too?"
Tom was stunned.
(٥･᷄ㅂ･᷅) "No... not yet? Weren't you supposed to stay here to hatch the eggs?"
Shirley burst out crying.
˚‧º·(˚˃̣̣̥᷄口˂̣̣̥᷅)‧º·˚ "No! I don't want to hatch eggs! It's all your fault! What kind of stupid bet did you make? Wuwuwu~"
Tom looked ashamed. They came to save face, but ended up getting slapped around!
And on top of that, they lost a Five-Element Archmage. The most important thing was that the Dao Heaven they brought to intimidate the venue was still missing, even now!
The academic exchange was completely ruined!
Martin and the others didn't want to stay here another second!
As soon as Charles and the others recovered enough to move, they went back to pack their bags.
They even booked a bus to the airport.
At the academy gate, the exchange group members were all ready to go.
Danny and Charles still had bandages and plaster casts on their heads and arms. They looked utterly miserable. Their faces hadn't even swollen down yet, but they were still in a hurry to leave.
Sean had even started using a cane!
Tom was gritting his teeth, transferring 300 million small coins to Guan Hu.
As soon as the transfer was done, Jiangnan came over with his phone, holding up the payment QR code.
(˵ಡ口ಡ)ᕤ
Guan Hu laughed heartily: "I won't short you, Jiang Lion!"
With that, he transferred 50 million to Jiangnan. Hearing the "clink-clink" sound of the transfer, Jiangnan's heart melted!
[From Tom Max's Resentment +1000!]
Can't you guys share the spoils without me watching?
You're doing it on purpose, aren't you?
On the other side, Sean limped over, his face dark, and handed nine Mithril Greatswords to Jiangnan.
(◕•̆益•̆)つ¤=[]:::::×9
"Keep your word. Once I reach Diamond, I'll come fight you again! What I lost, I must take back with my own hands. I swear!"
He'd spent 900 million to buy them back just three days ago, and now they were gone again!
Jiangnan's eyes sparkled: "That's wonderful! I love hot-blooded youngsters like you. You'd better hurry up!"
"Oh, and you still owe me one Mithril Greatsword. Get on it. I want the complete set!"
[From Sean's Resentment +1000!]
Sean's face grew even darker: "Wait! I won't miss out on you!"
With that, he turned and left.
Jiangnan quickly waved: "Don't go! Stay a couple more days. At least recover from your injuries first, right?"
All the exchange group members shivered. Stay two more days?
How much more money would that cost? The Pioneer Academy was full of pitfalls everywhere!
Just then, a gust of wind howled from the distance, and Nicole, dressed in a white skirt, landed from the sky.
Her face was radiant, with what seemed like sunflowers blooming quietly beside her cheeks.
✿(ૢ⁼̴◡⁼̴)❀✧*。
"Hmm~ It's over? Good thing I made it!"
Tom looked ashamed: "Lady Nicole, the exchange match... we lost!"
Nicole didn't care at all. She waved her hand casually: "Ahh, I know. It's annoying!"
Then her gaze fell on Jiangnan, and she smiled broadly: "Uncle Jiang, I'll be going now?"
Jiangnan chuckled: "Not staying a couple more days?"
Nicole looked down shyly, twisting the hem of her skirt and fiddling with her fingers: "No... no, maybe next time!"
Tom: ???
Lady Nicole, whose side are you on? Can you stop being so biased?
Your attitude toward Jiangnan is completely different from ours!
Nicole walked up to Jiangnan and whispered in his ear: "Big Thunder asked me to pass you a message."
"Void Sea will open in seven days. If you want to enter, you need to leave time to prepare."
"Once everything's done here, if you have nothing else to do, just head to the outpost base in the Western Frontier."
Jiangnan grinned and nodded. Finally, he could enter?
Then he pulled out a plastic bag full of small ginsengs and tossed them to Nicole and Martin.
"For healing. Let Danny and the others eat them before they leave. If they go back all bruised and swollen, people will say we at Pioneer Academy didn't handle things properly!"
Charles and Sean bit their lower lips. Even when leaving, he gave us healing treasures?
Maybe Jiangnan was a bit of a devil, but there were still some glowing points of humanity in him!
At that moment, their anger seemed to subside a little.
Everyone got on the bus. Shirley, still in the academy, rolled her eyes and thought quickly.
Taking advantage of Jiangnan's distraction, she made a dash toward the bus, sprinting for freedom.
ﾚ(ﾟ﹏ﾟ٥)ﾍ=З=З=З
But Jiangnan didn't even look. He just threw a Void Chain, wrapping Shirley up like a dumpling, and yanked her back onto his shoulder.
Shirley struggled and squirmed frantically, tears streaming.
"No! Don't leave me behind! Take me with you! My future direction absolutely cannot be hatching eggs!"
Such a life was dark and eggy, without any light!
From the bus window, Tom stuck his head out, looking ashamed.
"Stay here and hatch the eggs in peace. Try to learn their techniques for taming spirit pets and bring them back!"
"Do your part for our academy, for our country. I won't come to see you often, so rest assured!"
With that, he closed the window. The engine roared, and the bus drove further and further away.
Shirley cried even louder. Jiangnan frowned fiercely, raising his finger and aiming it at her forehead.
"Three seconds. Stop crying. Hold it in!"
Shirley's face turned pale. With a weak expression, she immediately stopped crying.
(•̥́﹏•̀ू)
Jiangnan was satisfied: "When I have time, I'll take you to the egg vault and teach you how to hatch eggs."
"Be a good, capable egg-hatching girl. Maybe I'll even give you a spirit pet one day."
Hearing this, Shirley froze. If she did well, she'd get a spirit pet?
In that case, the next year of her life wasn't too dark after all!
At least there was something to look forward to!
But would Jiang the Devil be that kind? She shuddered, her face about to cry again.
"Can I just be an egg-hatching girl? Do I have to be capable too?"
Was being an egg-hatching girl so hard? Did she have to hatch all kinds of eggs?
Jiangnan: (̿▀̿̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿̿)̄
"From now on, just understand my words literally. Don't overthink things, alright?"
With that, he gave Shirley a flick on the forehead, making her clutch her head in pain.
After arranging Shirley, Jiangnan remembered the nine Mithril Greatswords he'd gotten back.
A perverted smile gradually spread across his face. He teleported back to his room, logged onto Star Luo Net, went straight to the listing section, took new photos of the nine swords, uploaded them, and listed them again!
Southern God:
Just won 9 Mithril Greatswords in a match. They're still warm!
Ah, actually, they're the same swords from last time.
･ิ≖ω≖･ิ✧
Currently, I only have nine. The tenth one is still in the hands of some Dao Heaven-level expert.
But it'll be delivered to me soon. Selling as a full set, 1 billion, no haggling!
Fate! Wonderful beyond words!
(Photo).iap
Listed again, it once again occupied the homepage of the listing section!
Comments surged below.
"Holy crap? The Chant Speaker's greatswords are up again? And this time there's one more?"
"Didn't they sell a couple of days ago? I thought Lantis bought them back?"
"Pfft—haha! What the hell, 'still warm'? Just won them back. I can vouch for it. The livestream of the exchange match just ended. Jiangnan is fierce!"
"He really didn't leave any face at all. Lantis and these swords have such fate, huh?"
After listing the swords, Jiangnan clapped his hands, looking smug.
I'm such a little genius at making money!
[From Sean's Resentment +1000!]
[From Charles's Resentment +1000!]
[From...]
Jiangnan was stunned. No way? Sean and the others didn't eat the ginsengs on the bus, did they?
Couldn't they wait until they got to the airport?
...
On the shoulder of the highway, Sean, Charles, and the others sat in a row on a bus that had rolled into a ditch.
Their noses were gushing blood!
They were grinding their teeth, flames of fury burning in their eyes!
Jiangnan! I'll—!
It was all an illusion! We shouldn't have believed your lies!
Just now, the bus was driving fine on the highway. They thought it would be embarrassing to go to the airport all wrapped in bandages and plaster casts, so they ate the small ginsengs.
Their injuries healed, but their nosebleeds wouldn't stop, spraying all over the bus.
The windshield was covered in blood. The driver's face turned pale. In a panic, he yanked the wheel, and the bus flipped over...
This academic exchange trip was a complete train wreck!
Right now, the bus driver was standing in front of Martin: "So, uh, are you going to pay for the bus?"
Martin: (ꐦ˵¯͒ʖ̯¯͒˵)...
[From Martin's Resentment +1000!]
Having paid for the bus, Martin looked out at the vast lands of Hua Xia, fuming.
"Tch—I'm never coming again even if you beat me to death!"
