Chapter 104: Chapter 98: Jiang Xiao’s Talent Revealed?

"Who is it?"

Jiang Xiao yelled impatiently toward the door.

There was only a tiny bit of supplies left in the porcelain basin, and he had to follow the call for the "Clean Plate Campaign"!

"It’s me, Old Wang, cough, about those ten movies? Hurry up."

The person knocking on the door was none other than Old Wang, the pervert from the first room.

Only, at this moment, Old Wang’s expression was somewhat surprised.

He had knocked on the door to interrupt the mute’s "operation," hoping to plead for mercy and get the execution postponed for today’s chosen one.

Not to mention, this manager had similar tastes in hobbies to him.

Just those ten movies alone made it worth Old Wang’s while to intervene.

After all, if Jiang Xiao were to be killed by the mute, not to talk of ten movies, he wouldn’t be able to watch even one!

But, as it stood, this kid had not only entered the room of the mute with a cleanliness fetish.

And judging from his voice... he seemed to be lively and well?

"Manager, how are you doing now? If not, I won’t make it in time, I’ve been holding it in for so long."

So much for not making it in time; it seemed this old fellow was really at his limit.

Jiang Xiao snorted coldly and irritably put down the big iron ladle he was holding.

"Hmm, consider yourself lucky today, I’ve got other things to attend to!"

I’m the lucky one?

The mute’s nose twitched, and the big man, feeling wronged, started crying.

Damn, this is such a rare and shitty stroke of luck I’ve encountered in thirty years!

This manager is no joke, boiling something fierce!

I’ve done many bad things in my life, if I end up in your hands today, it’s like crossing off a debt.

...

Jiang Xiao opened the door, and outside stood an old man with a face full of flattery and surprise.

"Young man, about those ten movies you mentioned..."

"Don’t rush me, I have it under control. Go back, I’ll find the resources and return your phone tonight."

The old man was about to peek inside.

’Bang’!

Jiang Xiao unceremoniously shut the door and gave the old man a bright-eyed glare.

(͡°͜ʖ͡°)✧ "Hehehe, what’s there to see in the room? Just mood-killing stuff."

The old man thought about it and realized it was true, nothing is bigger than his own burning issues.

You’re right, seeing that quaint freak, the mute, at such a critical moment is indeed a mood killer~

"Got it, got it! You really know a lot, bro, got it, got it~"

The two exchanged a look, understanding each other without words.

(՞ټ՞)(΄◞ิ౪◟ิ‵)

"Alright, then I, this old undying, will head back to my room and wait for your message!"

"Take care, sir, I’ll arrange everything for you right away!"

After bidding farewell to the old man, Jiang Xiao returned to his room.

It’s just resources, hm~

He was too good at this!

The websites from which he’d watched and deleted videos countless times were deeply etched in his mind.

The crowd watching the livestream couldn’t understand the actions of this old and young duo.

[Are these two showing a friendship that transcends age in their interaction?]

[Otherwise? Does Jiang Xiao have to use karate to communicate normally, right?]

[The old man probably came to save Jiang Xiao for the movies, little did he know he inadvertently saved the mute man.]

[Just asking, is Jiang Xiao’s karate that powerful?]

[What do you think? SpongeBob alone could split Bikini Bottom in half!]

[Dude, are you sick? We’re talking about Jiang Xiao’s karate, not SpongeBob’s...]

...

Director Wang entered the conference room with experts.

"Gentlemen, did you see Jiang Xiao’s performance just now? That unbelievable karate?"

Everyone nodded; indeed, it was unbelievable.

But since it was Jiang Xiao, even if it was bizarre, it seemed reasonable.

They didn’t understand why Director Wang had called them to a meeting in the middle of the night.

Director Wang flashed a sly smile at those present.

"Hehe, not to keep it from you, I watched the entire SpongeBob series at 4x speed."

Everyone: ????

Isn’t...

What does this have to do with calling us for a meeting?

Could it be that you’ve hurriedly gathered us here just to announce that you watched the entire SpongeBob series in the middle of the night?

"What? What’s with those expressions? Don’t you believe me? Want me to show you the viewing duration?"

A young and spirited lad voiced his confusion,

"Director Wang, so what if you’ve watched it all? Are we supposed to give you an award?"

"Sss, what’s with that attitude? You think it’s that simple to watch it all?"

"How hard can it be?"

Seeing the misunderstanding on everyone’s faces, Director Wang continued.

"Never mind, let me put it this way, after watching the whole SpongeBob series, I feel that Jiang Xiao isn’t just simply cosplaying as SpongeBob~"

"I also asked the kung fu master, Master Chen, Jiang Xiao might have made only a couple of moves earlier, but he already had the bearing of a karate master!"

"Manager Wang, stop beating around the bush. Jiang Xiao is mentally ill, so it’s not surprising whatever he does."

Manager Wang nodded.

"Exactly, I used to think the same way. Since he is mentally ill, we could simply attribute all the unreasonableness to his condition and justify it."

After a pause, the usually amiable Manager Wang’s tone turned unusually serious.

"But, do you think this is the conduct of a qualified senior official?"

"Jiang Xiao lives in the Kaidan... erm, he lives in the world of Kaidan, are we, who are outside, really unconcerned?"

Manager Wang had originally wanted to say that Jiang Xiao was struggling to survive in the world of Kaidan, fighting desperately.

But, considering Jiang Xiao’s performance, he could not say it and could only say "lives".

What’s wrong with being unconcerned?

We can’t really help much anyway...

It’s not that they didn’t care about Jiang Xiao, initially they were monitoring his live broadcasts around the clock.

Continuously analyzing Jiang Xiao’s dominance and psychotic traits, including the severity of his mental illness.

But they eventually gave up.

Not for any other reason, but because they had developed a blind confidence in Jiang Xiao.

This guy had never let them down.

Just hoping that Kaidan doesn’t collapse because of him~

Manager Wang sighed.

"Okay, I called everyone here today because I just discovered something."

"What?"

"This guy’s talent seems not to be immortality? It’s more like a kind of..."

"Advanced mimicry?"

An elderly professor picked up where Manager Wang left off.

"Yes, what Professor Chong said is correct. We always subconsciously classified his performance under ’schizophrenia,’ but it seems we were all wrong. "

"Enough! Don’t say anymore, Manager Wang!" Professor Chong interrupted him.

Everyone present was intelligent, and from what Manager Wang had hinted at, they could probably guess something.

But to probe further would be impolite!

Jiang Xiao’s talent was his trump card in Analog Horror; they could guess in their minds, but not speak it aloud!

Who knew if everyone present was truly loyal?

"Professor Chong, I know what’s important. Actually, I called you all here because there’s another matter concerning the exploration of Kaidan. We shouldn’t let our guard down just because Jiang Xiao is there."

"Jiang Xiao fights for Dragon Country and for himself as well, and his three ’daughters’—I believe everyone here knows how important they are to him, right?"

"We can’t help Jiang Xiao in Kaidan, but we can gather information externally. It’s been a long invasion by Kaidan, and the countries that have survived have faced numerous Kaidans and must have many secret records that should be handed over."

Let them hand them over.

The tone was calm but carried an unmistakable authority.

Of course, given Dragon Country’s current strength, they were fully entitled to!

This was a huge project.

First, it required sorting through hundreds of documents to find information about the natives of Kaidan.

Next, it was necessary to identify the parts connected to the outside world.

Bring the strangeness from Analog Horror?

Besides Jiang Xiao, nobody from the past would have thought of that.

So this part would definitely not have a similar classification.

The things about Jiang Xiao’s equivalent exchange with Kaidan, besides himself, no one else knew yet.

...

Except for Dragon Country.

The Lighthouse was also bustling with activity.

If Dragon Country was just guessing, then they could almost be certain.

Jiang Xiao’s talent was absolutely not about immortality or regeneration!

But rather a talent similar to "possession."

As the birthplace of SpongeBob, they knew Pai Daxing all too well.

They had previously harbored suspicions.

But now, seeing the talents of bubble-blowing and karate displayed by Jiang Xiao, they were almost certain of their conjecture.

Immortality + Pai Daxing’s mannerisms + uniquely talented artistic cells + karate master skills.

All these combined weren’t merely the result of mental illness and immortal talents.

This guy was just freaking Pai Daxing himself!

They just couldn’t figure out why Jiang Xiao could obtain all the "talents" of that pink starfish.

Had the two-dimensional world and Analog Horror somehow magically collaborated?

"Boss, Dragon Country sent a message asking us to send them all the Kaidan information we’ve collected."

"What do they plan to give in return?"

"Uh... they didn’t say. They just want the Kaidan information, saying it’s for maintaining world peace or something..."

The Lighthouse’s boss angrily flipped the table.

(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

"Freaking hell! What are you talking about?! Are you crazy?"

"Does Dragon Country really think they are invincible?"

"Don’t be a sour grape! ’Maintaining world peace’ is a right reserved for superpowers like us, who gave Dragon Country the audacity!"

The members of the council silently watched as their boss ranted.

In fact, some high-ranking people inside the Lighthouse were already making their own little calculations.

There’s an old saying in Dragon Country that goes well, ’A good bird chooses the tree it perches on, and the diligent are always the outstanding ones.’

They couldn’t help but plan ahead for their own future.
