Chapter 198 - 171: The Pink-Haired Sect Hierarch Makes a Name for Himself
Chapter 198: Chapter 171: The Pink-Haired Sect Hierarch Makes a Name for HimselfSince we’re all Chosen Ones, it must be a misunderstanding.
At first, both sides thought they’d encountered something bizarre.
"Hello, Jiang God, I’m Jack from the Lighthouse."
As Jack spoke, he reached out his right hand to shake hands with Jiang Xiao.
Confronted with the other’s initiative to show goodwill,
Jiang Xiao, atop the bull, did not even bother to glance down at him.
Uh...
It was a bit awkward as Jack was about to retract his hand,
when a little hand, still smeared with milk, rudely grasped his hand that was about to be pulled back.
"Please, Jack old pal, you’re too polite. I am Mu Xitang; my dad’s got a screw loose and doesn’t much care for other people. Give me face and don’t hold it against him, huh? If you need anything, just ask for me; mentioning my name gets things done!"
Everyone: ...
Such a sly little brat!
He spoke these "jargon terms" in a baby voice, which was hard not to find jarring.
Jack, with a disgusted look, withdrew his hand and surreptitiously wiped the milk on Park Renmeng’s clothes.
"Oh, pink-haired kid, actually, what I wanted to say was, since we’re all Chosen Ones, why not stick together? Wouldn’t it be nice to have each other’s backs on the road?"
"No way!" x4
The instant rejection certainly didn’t come from the Chosen Ones of the Sakura Pickles and Curry Countries.
Aside from the trio of grudges,
Surprisingly, Yinghua Xiaoya also rejected Jack’s request to team up.
"No way, the more people, the harder it gets. Our ’Super Jiang Rescue Team’ definitely can’t travel with them!"
Xiaoya snorted coldly, taking the lead with her opinion.
Jack, still wearing a warm smile on his face, leaned in towards Mu Xitang and said,
"Little sis, both the lady and I are pretty strong. Why not convince your dad to ditch those three eyesores? We four could go together. If you don’t believe me, we could showcase our talents..."
Jack’s voice wasn’t loud,
but was just within earshot of everyone else.
"Blondie! I’ll fucking kill you!"
The bearded man from Bear Country certainly wasn’t going to cater to the Lighthouse; he lashed out directly!
"Even outside it’s bearable, but inside Kaidan, you dare be such a prick! If you’re desperate to cling to strong legs, that’s your problem, but to think you can shamelessly kick us three out? I swear I could slap that blood clot in your brain into your belly, believe it or not?"
Faced with the bearded man’s furious tirade, Jack’s smile remained amiable.
"What’s wrong? With such a formidable foe ahead, only by combining our strengths can we maximize our chances of success. What if you three burdens cause Jiang Xiao to be held back? If he, the strongest of mankind, were to die here, you three would be humanity’s eternal sinners! And your countries would be shamed along with you!"
Alright, alright!
This is the very essence of the Lighthouse!
"We’re the burdens? You’re the goddamn handicap? I have to spar with you today!"
"Oh, come at me. I was thinking just the same. As an old saying in Dragon Country goes, ’All talk and no action makes a fraud’!"
Bearded man jumped off the bull, and Curly Hair and Blackie followed right behind.
They were naturally going to gang up!
"Hmph, a crowd? Great, this will better showcase my strength."
Jack’s eyes sparkled more fervently.
He didn’t care in the slightest what Jiang Xiao thought.
As long as he could integrate into Jiang Xiao’s team, he believed he had a hundred ways to manipulate this foolish man!
Jack had seriously re
But Jack’s performance was truly disappointing...
In an instant, the mocking voices that had disappeared for a whole Kaidan reappeared in the Lighthouse’s livestream room.
Forget about Dragon Country and Bear Country for a moment.
Even the Sakura Pickles were relentless in their mockery.
Even the folks at Lighthouse themselves were very disdainful of Jack’s blatant betrayal of his teammates.
["Shit! The most faceless thing is that not only did he betray his own teammate, but he also encouraged Bright and Majestic Little Pink Hair to betray teammates together!"]
["What little pink hair? Please call her Sect Hierarch Pink Hair, thank you!"]
["Jack’s disgraceful tactics, how are they any different from the worst players who start a surrender vote and then curse those who refuse to surrender? I just want to ask, where is Jack’s face? Oh my, why can’t I see it anywhere?"]
["Wang Defa kicked the tourmaline bisque! Well scolded! Beautifully scolded! My Aunt Susan has already taken up her keyboard that’s been dormant for twenty-eight years and joined the fight!"]
["Seriously, the seemingly uptight Jack is far worse than the buried and obsolete Ward!"]
["Heh, this vile little man, Jack, dares to be mentioned in the same breath as the true man Ward?"]
The Dragon Country livestream room was a hubbub of harmony.
["Reporting in, I take back my previous slanders against Sect Hierarch Pink Hair."]
["Even though she inherited Jiang God’s not-so-smart brain, the Sect Hierarch wins because her values are definitely upright!"]
["That face slap, Lighthouse’s livestream room is about to get utterly destroyed by cursing."]
["Hehe, cursing him is only right, what’s the time now? Still wanting to play the game of the strong preying on the weak? Those small countries originally saw Jiang Xiao, the top dog with 2800 points, willing to carry a few diamonds in ranked games. Then you, a ’Provincial Disgusting Guy,’ come along wanting Jiang Xiao to help you rank up to ’Little Country Marked Disgusting Guy,’ not letting Jiang Xiao carry the others in diamond ranked games, isn’t that just asking for trouble?"]
["Brother, your explanation is quite vivid!"]
["Speaking of which, we really have to thank Little Pink Hair. If it wasn’t for her, Jiang Xiao Yi might have actually gotten sick and really might have taken this little blonde with him on the road!"]
["What Little Pink Hair? Call her Sect Hierarch! Don’t be disrespectful!"]
Sister Bao is such a salted fish~
Now, Jiang Xiao couldn’t care less about anything.
Moreover.
The moment he faced them, he sized up the four people from head to toe.
Yep.
They were indeed dirt poor.
All their belongings combined were probably not worth as much as one of his shovels.
They weren’t worth him scamming ... oh no, I mean, they weren’t worth his time to carry along on the road.
Seeing his team request was rejected, Jack turned his hopes to the milk cow on Jiang Xiao’s side.
"Cough, Jiang God, how about you lend us a cow to use? This cow is so huge, it can definitely carry our entire squad. You’ll maximize your benefits this way! Once we get out of the pasture’s range, we’ll return it to you!"
Everyone: ???
This blonde guy looks alright on the outside, but is there something seriously wrong inside his head?
Why would anyone lend to him?
This time, not even the members of "What Jiang God Says Goes" needed to say a word.
The long-suffering "True Bull-man" Da Zhuang had already reached his limit.
