Spirit City. The Pope's Bedchamber.
Bibi Dong's face lit up with joy at this moment. She sat up straight in her bed, filled with anticipation for what was to come. She thought to herself that transmigrators are truly full of treasures. That is right! Tang San can create Hidden Weapons using his knowledge from another world.
Therefore, the transmigrator Su Yan, who is even more powerful than Tang San, must also be able to create things that are even more formidable than Tang San's Hidden Weapons. The idea of possessing such power made her heart race with excitement.
Hu Liena, on the other hand, was feeling a mix of emotions that sat somewhere between laughter and tears. It felt to her as if there was not a single normal person left on the Douluo Continent. From her perspective, there was no one she could turn to for a sane conversation anymore! She looked at her teacher and wondered if she was losing her mind.
Teacher, did you hear me? Hu Liena asked softly, but Bibi Dong was lost in her own thoughts.
In the world of Douluo 2, Ma Xiaotao was already soaking in an ice-water bath by now to calm her raging flames. She was somewhat curious about the conversation happening in the mental chat group and decided to chime in.
Ma Xiaotao: You know how to make spirit tools too?
Liu Erlong: That line about how there isn't a single normal person on the Douluo Continent and no one to turn to—I'm honestly dying of laughter. It is just too funny.
Group Member Number Nine: I'm not laughing, because I feel the bitterness of the transmigrator. Imagine having a whole set of amazing skills but having nowhere to serve or use them. It must be very frustrating.
Su Yan: Just think about it for a second. With the protagonist Tang San and the antagonist Bibi Dong running around, who could I possibly hang out with? Neither side seems like a good choice for someone like me.
Nine Treasures Little Princess: Is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School not good enough for you? We are very wealthy and respected.
Little Wild Goose: That is hard to say. Every faction has its own problems.
Ning Rongrong stood up from where she was sitting and walked into Su Yan's arms. She began acting spoiled as she said, Brother Su Yan, is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really not good in your eyes?
Su Yan: It would be like feeding oneself to a tiger. If I don't have the strength to change your fate, I'll still end up as Tang San's dog in the end. By then, there's a high probability I'd be sentenced to a path to death by him.
Su Yan: This really isn't a joke or an exaggeration. My stuff has terrifying destructive power. Once it is mature and deployed on the battlefield, it can flatten the entire continent. Do you think the Ice-Pure and Jade-Clean God-King Tang would spare me after he's done using me? He would definitely eliminate a threat like me.
Bibi Dong: Why don't you hurry up and introduce your weapon? I, Bibi Dong, would really invest in this project if you show me its worth. Am I really that unreliable in your eyes right now?
Tang Yuehua: It seems that the current Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff shouldn't have any major problems anymore, right? She seems much more reasonable than the stories say.
Liu Erlong: Who knows? That old woman is the best at disguising herself and the most capable of endurance. Maybe she's been faking her good mood all along just to trick us.
Bo Saixi: Based on the analysis of what Su Yan mentioned before, that possibility can't be ruled out! We must remain cautious when dealing with powerful people.
I Am an Orphan: Careful sailing keeps the ship afloat for ten thousand years. It is better to be safe than sorry.
I Am a Little Bird: ???
Spirit City. The Pope's Bedchamber.
Bibi Dong was truly about to die of anger this time. She could not believe how these people were talking about her in the chat. She slammed her hand down on the side of her bed.
Damn it! Yu Xiaogang, where is Yu Xiaogang right now? I want to kill him! I really want to kill him! She screamed, her voice echoing through the room.
Hu Liena looked at her teacher, Bibi Dong, who was flying into a rage out of humiliation. After a moment's hesitation, she muttered under her breath so her teacher could hear.
Teacher, please don't just talk without acting. If you want him dead, you should do something about it.
Fine, fine, fine, Bibi Dong said through gritted teeth, trying to control her breathing. Go now and arrange it immediately. Have someone investigate Yu Xiaogang's current whereabouts for me. I want Yu Xiaogang to wish he were dead. Actually, I have a better idea. I want Yu Xiaogang to go find Liu Erlong for a spiritual romance.
Bibi Dong clenched her fist and made a very ruthless decision. Since you, Liu Erlong, that bastard, are disgusting me in the group, let's see if I don't pit Yu Xiaogang against you this time to disgust you to death! It would be the perfect revenge.
Yes, teacher, Hu Liena replied, quickly moving to carry out the orders.
Bibi Dong's brow suddenly furrowed as she began to scheme in her heart. She would do exactly as Su Yan said before and guide Yu Xiaogang according to Su Yan's meaning. First, she would turn him into Eunuch Yu. This would be 100% proof that she was clear-headed and done with him. Then, by providing some indirect guidance, Yu Xiaogang might go find Liu Erlong, wanting to have an open and honest spiritual romance with her since he could no longer do anything else.
Wouldn't that disgust Liu Erlong to death? The thought of her rival being stuck with a useless Yu Xiaogang made her feel much better.
Hahaha!! Bibi Dong felt like she was going to die of laughter just thinking about it.
Liu Erlong, oh Liu Erlong, you just wait and see. I'm going to make you so disgusted you won't be able to eat for two and a half years. Oh, right! When the time comes, it would be best to find a group member to record this scene and share it with everyone so we can all enjoy it together.
Su Yan: That thing of mine is called gunpowder, but gunpowder is just the most basic part of the whole system. I have a complete set of knowledge in my mind about how to use it. If this knowledge is passed down and developed, it will overturn the entire world, including the God Realm.
Bibi Dong: Is it really that powerful? Can a simple powder really change everything?
Ma Xiaotao: That sounds even more powerful than the spirit tools of my era. Can it really defeat a Titled Douluo?
Bo Saixi: Does this mean it has the power to slay a god? That would be a power beyond anything we know.
Su Yan: After ten thousand years of advancement, spirit tools are only at the twelfth level. The weapon made with my set of knowledge is called—All Men Are Equal. If it evolved for ten thousand years on the Douluo Continent, I really wouldn't dare imagine how terrifying it could be. It would change the face of war forever.
Cat in the Shadows: If you have this amazing cheat, why didn't you use it before? You could have ruled the world.
Su Yan: I want my weapons to be created so that all people are equal, not for nobles to use to oppress commoners. Before, I didn't have the strength to protect my inventions, so I was unwilling to bring them out. Moreover, this kind of weapon cannot be mass-produced by just one person. It doesn't constitute a major threat if only one exists, and the progress of one person's research and experimentation is far too slow.
Su Yan: As for Bibi Dong, don't even think about it for now. Do you think I would easily give you a weapon capable of destroying the world? I know how dangerous you can be.
Spirit Hall. The Pope's Bedchamber.
Bibi Dong was about to explode with anger again. She felt insulted by Su Yan's words.
Bastard! Am I, Bibi Dong, not a good person? She yelled.
Bibi Dong stopped there, turned her head to look at Hu Liena, and asked her directly.
Nana, do you think Teacher is a good person?
A bitter smile appeared on Hu Liena's face as she looked at her teacher. Teacher, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?
Bibi Dong replied irritably, Nonsense, I want the truth of course. Actually, you don't even need to say it. Just stick your butt up for me. She was so frustrated she needed to vent her annoyance on someone.
Hu Liena: ???
Smack smack! The sound of Bibi Dong venting her frustration rang out in the room.
I Am an Orphan sent a gift. Tang Yuehua sent a gift. Hu Liena sent a cry for help.
Star Dou Great Forest.
After Su Yan finished collecting everyone's late-night snacks from the chat group, he turned his head to look at Zhao Wuji's group by the other campfire. He felt a bit conflicted about what to do next. He had pitted Tang San three times in a row already today. This time, he couldn't seem to find a suitable reason to do it again.
How about giving Tang San something super spicy? He thought for a moment. No! This guy was from Bashu in his past life. Giving him spicy food would be doing him a favor; he'd actually enjoy it because he's used to those flavors.
Sigh. Su Yan sighed and could only take the leftover buns and other food from the morning over to their group. You guys better cherish a transmigrator as kind as me! He thought to himself as he walked over.
Hmm? Tang San, what are you doing? Su Yan suddenly spoke up, surprising the boy.
Everyone also looked towards Tang San together, only to see Tang San holding a piece of flatbread, intending to secretly stuff it into his mouth while no one was looking.
Zhao Wuji was also dazed by the sight. Tang San, why are you gnawing on dry bread again? We have other things to eat.
Dai Mubai and the others also looked curious. But they suddenly remembered that an accident had happened earlier in the evening. Su Yan had chased after something in the woods, so no one had eaten a proper meal. The others had eaten some of Oscar's sausages to stave off their hunger, but Tang San seemed to have not eaten anything at all because he was being stubborn.
Tang San also felt a bit of a toothache right now from the hard bread; he just couldn't understand why everyone was watching him. I'm hungry and I'm eating a piece of bread. Is that some kind of crime? Especially Su Yan's interrogative and strange tone made Tang San feel very unhappy and worried. Is this bastard going to pit me again? He wondered.
I... I'm really not hungry, Tang San replied, trying to act cool. He then silently took a bite of the bread. Although the flatbread was dry and tasteless, eating it made him feel at ease because he knew it was safe. After falling into Su Yan's pits three times in a row, Tang San really wouldn't believe Su Yan anymore.
No? Su Yan said somewhat irritably. If you're not hungry, then why are you gnawing on that dry bread like a dog with a bone? If you're hungry, just say so. I just got back and hadn't thought about dinner yet. We're freaking brothers, are you too embarrassed to say it to me?
To hell with your 'brothers'! Tang San thought. It was fine until Su Yan mentioned they were like brothers. Once he said it, Tang San felt the dry bread in his hand was incredibly delicious compared to whatever trap Su Yan was probably setting.
Um... if I leave my bread any longer, it'll be inedible, so I don't want to waste food. I'm really not hungry, you guys don't need to worry about me, Tang San spoke seriously. He really wouldn't believe Su Yan ever again.
I'm seriously impressed, Su Yan muttered, feeling a bit powerless to complain about Tang San's stubbornness. Brother, this time I seriously planned to give you some non-pitted gourmet food because I felt a little bad. And you actually convinced yourself that I was trying to trick you?
Whatever. Su Yan didn't bother with him anymore and gave the leftover buns and other food from the morning to Zhao Wuji and the others.
Zhao Wuji and the students were overjoyed and very happy to have something better than dry rations. To put it bluntly, in a place like the Star Dou Great Forest, you either roast some wild game or eat dry rations. Although Su Yan was giving them leftovers from their previous meal, it was already very good and much better than what they had.
At least they got something different to taste. Zhao Wuji and the others were indeed hungry. Each took a bun and devoured them in two bites, their mouths filled with the fragrance of the filling.
Tang San could only watch them eat with a blank expression, his mouth still full of dry, tasteless bread.
