After reading the information about the gun, Jiangnan's eyelids twitched violently.
This overwhelming sense of love...
This is definitely the work of the Ancestor Dragon Emperor again!
"As long as you burn someone else's soul, you can infinitely accumulate true damage?"
Jiangnan lowered his head and looked at the [Human Emperor Lamp] hanging at his waist.
At this very moment.
The Human Emperor Lamp was crowded with hundreds of people who had just received supplies from the Confucian Scholar Dojo...
A high-quality mummy scholar and a pedantic old Confucian master.
They were now separated into a special area by Jiangnan, huddled together and wailing.
Human Emperor Lamp (Super Soul Battery) + Godslayer Spear (True Damage, High Energy Consumption)!
It's practically a perfect capitalist outfit!
Jiangnan gripped the Godslayer Spear tightly in his hand and casually twirled it.
"It seems these old fogies can not only operate sewing machines as fertilizer, but now they have a new job: [fuel]."
He stood up. "It's time to go inside the Human Emperor Lamp."
Then, with a thought, it turned into black smoke and dissipated along with the Human Emperor Lamp.
Meanwhile, within the small world of the Human Emperor Lamp.
At this moment, Jiangnan has been divided into three distinct regions.
The first area is the [Isolation Room].
In the empty, dimly lit room, Tiffany sat humiliated on the floor like a duck.
Feeling the strange sensation within his body, he trembled with anger.
She clenched her fists. "That damned brute!"
"You rude barbarians! You have no sense of chivalry whatsoever!"
"Wait until the great Evil God notices something amiss and rescues me from this broken lamp!"
I will make you wish you were dead!
However, Tiffany, lost in her fantasies, was completely unaware that she was already a caged bird with no way to escape.
In the face of Jiangnan, this [Secret Chamber Douluo], a mere soul is nothing more than [Bibi Dong].
The Evil God is like [Gangzi], only fit to be an incompetent husband.
At this very moment, Jiangnan was hidden in the void above the Isolation Room, looking down at her.
Hearing the woman's curses, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Heh, you're so desperate you can't live, you're so desperate you can't die, huh?"
Very good...
His long-suppressed Dragon Nature suddenly became uncontrollable.
The next second, Jiangnan's figure suddenly appeared in the Isolation Room!
Before Tiffany could scream, Jiangnan had a sudden thought.
A full 10,000 points of Great Love were consumed to unlock [Great Love for the Future]!
Immediately afterwards, Tiffany's voice came from the Isolation Room.
"H-Why... it's you again!?"
"Don't come any closer! I'm warning you, I'm a subordinate of the Evil God!"
"No! No way! Waaaaaah!"
At first, it was a haughty outburst and resistance.
But it quickly turned into screams, followed by wailing and begging for mercy...
Until finally, they completely disappeared, leaving only...
Contradict...
The sound.
In the Real World, however, only a brief half-minute has passed.
But inside the Isolation Room, they had already endured a full twelve hours of real fighting!
"Buzz!"
Jiangnan, refreshed and invigorated, returned to mid-air.
And on the floor of the Isolation Room below.
All that remained was Tiffany, her eyes unfocused, collapsed on the ground.
"Warm-up complete, time to get down to business."
Jiangnan straightened his clothes and turned his gaze to the other two areas inside the Human Emperor Lamp.
The second area is a bustling sewing machine hall.
Sparks flew as the sewing machine beneath the feet of Nurse Charlotte and several others was being operated!
Orthopedic Director Sean, Warden Ye Desheng, God of Gamblers Chen Xiaodao, and Prison Guard Shi Chongshan!
They worked incredibly hard, to the point that you could even say they were in a state of intense competition!
Because I personally witnessed Tiffany mysteriously disappear.
He hasn't come back yet!
The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying!
They were terrified that if they were even a second too slow, they would end up like Tiffany, vanishing into thin air.
So even if the soul is exhausted to the point of collapse!
They gritted their teeth and pedaled furiously, contributing their value to Jiangnan!
But among this group of trembling, eerie beings, Nurse Charlotte was the only exception!
She showed no fear whatsoever; instead, her face was flushed with a sickly redness.
She hummed a tune off-key as she pedaled the sewing machine, leaving afterimages in her wake.
They were just waiting for Jiangnan to appear and praise her.
Jiangnan, who witnessed all of this from the void, nodded.
"Good."
Jiangnan mentally gave a huge thumbs-up, "Especially the head nurse, she truly deserves to be called the hospital's chosen one."
"Such resilience, such enthusiasm for work, such durability!"
"Once the factory expands, we should at least set up a boss's office, call him over, and give him a good promotion!"
Jiangnan silently made a promise to Charlotte in his heart.
Then he looked towards the corner...
There was also a woman who was extremely thin.
Her name is Tian Xiao'e, and she is Nannan's mother.
That person had endured inhuman torture at Xiya Charity Hospital.
In the end, he threatened to kill himself in front of Jiangnan to force his daughter to get on the bus.
The poor woman was dragged into [Great Love Factory] by him.
At this moment, she was clearly at her limit.
Because of being forced to sell himself in the hellish hospital for a long time, he even became addicted to those deadly illegal drugs.
Her frail soul was simply unable to sustain her working on the assembly line.
Tian Xiao'e's consciousness was beginning to fade, and her legs were trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Chen Daozai, who was operating a sewing machine nearby, couldn't bear to look.
He recognized the woman.
In Seattle Hospital, that cannibalistic place, ordinary people who haven't awakened any Supernatural Ability can only become playthings.
As the leader of the Card Friends Association, I watched as the other person was tortured into this wretched state.
A sense of guilt welled up in Chen Daozai's heart.
Although there are many people in the Card Friends Association, he cannot take care of everyone.
But as the leader of one side, and as a fellow countryman of the other.
He bears an inescapable responsibility.
"No!"
Chen Daozai gritted his teeth, "Hey, friend! I'm young and strong!"
"Can I take her place?"
"Put half of her workload on me! She's really nearing her end!"
The void was deathly silent; there was no response.
Upon hearing the voice, Tian Xiao'e turned her head with difficulty.
"Thank you, but no need, this is too much trouble..."
"I'll take it myself..."
"It doesn't matter if these things are different..."
Even so, her thin legs could no longer pedal.
Just then, Shi Chongshan, who was sweating profusely, also stopped what he was doing.
He sighed and began to speak.
"Honey, don't force yourself, just accept it."
At his age, this is the kind of thing he can't stand the most.
Although Shi Chongshan himself was so exhausted he felt like he was about to fall apart.
But his deep-seated sense of responsibility as a people's police officer remains.
"Count me in! Add me to the work!"
"I'll share some of the burden with her too!"
Count me in too!
At another sewing machine, Prison Warden Ye Desheng shouted in unison.
A Gambler and a soon-to-retire prison guard both dared to stand up for him.
How could a prison warden have the audacity to hide behind the scenes?
As for the head nurse and the Orthopedic Director on the other side of the assembly line.
They showed no reaction to this deeply moving display of humanity.
In their eyes, only the boss's KPIs matter; what do the lives and deaths of these people have to do with them?
She even increased the speed at which she operated the sewing machine.
Meanwhile, Jiangnan, hidden in the void, quietly observed this scene.
"Very good."
Jiangnan was very pleased.
"Never abandon, never give up, help each other, and live up to the factory's reputation for 'great love'!"
But while we may be moved, we must not break the rules.
[The worker "Tian Xiao'e" has been detected to be seriously injured. Should 1000 Love Points be used to repair her?]
"Build!"
With a thought, Jiangnan directly consumed 1000 points of Great Love!
In an instant, a beam of red light descended from the sky, enveloping Tian Xiao'e below!
Ah~!
Tian Xiao'e felt a surge of life enter the depths of her soul and let out a soft moan.
The toxins left by the banned drugs were instantly purified.
Her once emaciated body became plump.
Those humiliating scars and hidden ailments have been completely erased!
As the light faded, Tian Xiao'e stared at her hands in disbelief.
She not only pushed herself to the limit.
She even recovered to a state of complete health and outstanding beauty!
"This... this is..."
Tian Xiao'e was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes.
She immediately realized who had saved her.
It's that high and mighty boss.
He was also the ruthless benefactor who took in her daughter!
Thank you! Thank you so much!
Tian Xiao'e quickly kowtowed towards the void.
Then, she felt the surge of energy within her.
He turned around and stepped onto the sewing machine pedal.
"Da da da da da!"
The sewing machine sparked as she stepped on it, and the speed was more than ten times faster than before!
The three people standing nearby stared in disbelief, then exchanged a smile, all of them relieved.
It seems the boss who arrested them is the one who...
Although his methods were cruel, he was not a heartless and cold-blooded demon.
However, Jiangnan, in the void, looked down at Tian Xiao'e and stroked his chin.
"These guys are still too young."
Jiangnan muttered to himself, "Compared to your haphazard way of dividing up the workload..."
"Inefficient requests that easily disrupt factory clocking-in procedures..."
"I'll just spend some effort to fix the faulty machine at its root."
"Isn't this more in line with the sustainable development strategy of the Great Love Factory?"
After enjoying this touching drama of workplace cooperation, Jiangnan's smile faded, and she turned away.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the last area inside the Human Emperor Lamp.
There, you'll find the newly recruited cattle and horses.
Prior to this, Jiangnan checked the Human Emperor Lamp panel to confirm the current asset status.
[Human Emperor Lamp]
[Type]: Weird Artifact
[Level]: S-class (Requirements for the next level upgrade: 500,000 Great Love Points, plus the imprisonment of the souls of 20 S-class powerhouses)
[Function]: Slaying and imprisoning souls, Great Love Upon the Body, Great Love for the Future, Great Love in Industry.
Current kill threshold: 35%
Current small world size: 500 cubic meters
Current number of imprisoned souls: 555
Current number of S-class and above powerhouses: 5
[Current Love Value Balance]: 880,000
Eighty-eight hundred thousand.
Jiangnan silently calculated in his mind.
This is after completely clearing out the Confucian Scholar Dojo and the labor output of these few people, as well as deducting the expenses incurred in repairing the machine.
The final number obtained.
It can be said that this is all for the purpose of spreading love throughout the world.
He transformed into a heartless lawnmower this time, making a fortune.
"I have enough Great Love Points, but I'm still fifteen short of the twenty S-class powerhouse souls needed for the upgrade."
Jiangnan raised an eyebrow.
S-class anomalies are extremely rare, but he discovered a loophole while clearing the area.
These scholars and teachers were actually able to transfer their own righteous spirit to others.
This is used to forcibly elevate the other party's level!
"Isn't this just a natural S-class counterfeit production line?"
Jiangnan sneered, "It seems that no matter what era we live in, water-injected meat will always have a market."
Without any hesitation, Jiangnan dropped his concealment and appeared before them.
The more than five hundred scholars and teachers in the area immediately knelt down upon seeing him.
You have five minutes.
Jiangnan tossed a sticky note to the nearest teacher.
[No matter what method you use, immediately gather fifteen S-class experts using your righteous energy.]
[If the quantity is insufficient in five minutes...]
[If you're one short, I'll feed you all to the dogs.]
Upon hearing this, the scholars and teachers below were instantly terrified!
They were already terrified when they learned that Jiangnan was the Dragon God.
Now, who would dare to harbor even the slightest thought of resistance?
"Dragon God, spare me! Spare me!"
"We'll do it! We'll get the money right away!"
A teacher who appeared to be of slightly higher seniority led the way in kowtowing.
"Your Majesty the Dragon God, please see the truth!"
"We were all completely fooled by that old dog Doctor Chun and those two charlatans, Hou Lu!"
"Only then would you dare to be disrespectful to you and the Ancestor Dragon Emperor!"
Once one of them took the lead, the other scholars immediately turned their guns on him, frantically shifting the blame.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's all Old Dog Chun's and those two sorcerers' fault!"
"Back when books were burned and scholars were buried alive, these three scoundrels ran faster than anyone else!"
"It's us innocent students who are suffering and being buried alive!"
"If it weren't for the brilliance and might of the Ancestral Dragon Ancestor Dragon Emperor, who later sent men to capture the three of them and burn them again!"
"Those three old scoundrels are probably still living it up somewhere!"
"We are utterly loyal to you and the Ancestor Dragon Emperor, and we hold you in the highest esteem!"
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Listen to this bizarre and utterly shameless group of people below cursing their mentor, who was fighting for them just a moment ago.
Disgust flashed in Jiangnan's eyes.
He's just a fence-sitter.
They spout platitudes about benevolence and morality, but deep down they have no moral compass whatsoever.
Such people are truly rare.
Jiangnan snorted coldly and immediately labeled this group of scum as "backup fuel."
These trash are only fit to be used as labor and expendable resources.
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and gather the money!"
Jiangnan urged impatiently.
"Yes, yes, yes! Ready in a minute!"
These scholars were remarkably efficient.
Hundreds of people instantly began to share that righteous spirit.
Beams of green light weaved through the crowd, eventually converging on the dozen or so old scholars.
Accompanied by a series of breakthroughs.
In less than three minutes, sixteen powerful auras, barely reaching the S-class fluctuation, erupted from the crowd!
To be on the safe side, they even exceeded their target and managed to get one more!
"Bite!"
At the same time, the Human Emperor Lamp also began to remind Jiangnan that its upgrade requirements had been met.
[The number of S-class powerhouse souls imprisoned within the Human Emperor Lamp has reached the target (21/20)!]
[Your Love Points balance meets the upgrade requirements!]
"Very good."
Jiangnan nodded.
Even someone as aloof as him couldn't hide the exhilaration of leveling up.
He looked down at the sixteen counterfeit S-class items and left a note.
[Congratulations, you've earned your own way to survive.]
Upon hearing of the pardon, all the teachers and scholars below wept and kowtowed.
"Thank you, Dragon God, for sparing my life!"
"May the Dragon God have mercy!!!"
However, Jiangnan had no time to pay them any attention.
He turned his back and focused all his attention on the control panel.
Upgrade the Human Emperor Lamp immediately!
[Ding! 500,000 Great Love Points consumed! The Human Emperor Lamp has successfully broken through from S-class to S+ rank!]
In an instant! The Human Emperor Lamp began to undergo a tremendous change, its inner light transforming from its original golden color!
Turn into pure white!
Add to that the Black Qi that makes you want to kneel down in worship!
This made Jiangnan even happier!
[Current Love Value Balance: 380,000]
[Spatial Expansion]: The small world's volume has been increased to 1000 cubic meters!
[Execution threshold increased]: Increased from 35% to 40%!
[Advanced version of old feature detected!]
[Great Love for the Future has officially upgraded to Great Love in Time!]
[New Feature: Great Love in Time]
Description: You can consume Great Love Points to freely speed up or Slow Time in the small world of the Human Emperor Lamp!
Truly taking control of time!
[Slowing down the exchange rate]: 10,000 Great Love Points = 1 day inside the Small World = 1 minute outside.
[Accelerated Exchange Rate]: 20,000 Great Love Points = 1 day inside the Small World = 1 minute outside.
"Time acceleration?!"
Upon seeing this new feature, Jiangnan's usually impassive, expressionless face finally broke into a smile.
This is practically the ultimate divine skill tailor-made for capitalists like him!
Although [Time Acceleration] costs twice as much as [Slow Time].
But in Jiangnan's view, this was completely within the acceptable range of exorbitant profits!
Just imagine, all you have to do is accelerate time and lock hundreds of employees inside.
These oxen and horses can efficiently finish a whole day's work!
Isn't this a million times better than those exploitative sweatshops?!
"With this skill, I can increase my word count and love points."
Jiangnan's eyes were frighteningly bright.
"So, what's next..."
"It's time to finally solve the employment problem for a bunch of good-for-nothings."
Jiangnan looked at the [available equipment].
Great Love Sewing Machine (Grade B): Price: 5000 Great Love Points/unit, Output: 50 Great Love Points per hour
Great Love Loom (A-Class): Price: 50,000 Great Love Points/unit, Output: 500 Great Love Points/hour (Unlocked)
