Chapter 1723: Chapter 1284: Find It a Better Stick

No one could have imagined that the next news of the Ancient Man Snake would be like this; why is it dragging away the Giant Crystal Plane?

The Giant Crystal Plane is the plane where Giant Crystal Village is located, inhabited by the enthusiastic matchmaker Faradi, who asks everyone, ‘Are you married yet?’

So everyone thought she was a priest of the Love God, but who knew she was a priest of the Goddess of Dawn, now protecting Shamara’s barrier in the God Star, which is the Wall of Dawn.

They’re all gathered here mainly because the waiting process is too boring, coming to play, and helping Little Angel complete her contract with the Little Fireman.

They are waiting for the Ancient Man Snake.

When Little Angel and her group arrived, they saw a tree vine like a snake darting out. There’s no doubt that was the Ancient Man Snake headed towards the Boundless Space Hole, the place where Ange is in a stalemate with the Gray Divine Star.

In such a situation, they can’t focus on anything else until they deal with this predator, so Ange just released the bugs without further reconnaissance on the Tree of Ten Thousand Realms.

The information about the Ancient Man Snake has been notified to the Monarch. Members of the Astrology Alliance across major planes have been ordered to pay close attention to abnormalities appearing in the void.

The Stargazing Towers near the Boundless Space Hole have been upgraded with the latest celestial observer equipment, personally installed by Tyrone, ensuring the Ancient Man Snake’s appearance can be detected immediately.

All preparations were completed, yet they didn’t find the Ancient Man Snake. Instead, its location was revealed when it dragged away the Giant Crystal Plane. Why would it drag away a whole plane for no good reason?

Why would it specifically drag the Giant Crystal Plane, Negris exclaimed: “Why is Lisa on there?”

“How should I know? Lisa isn’t under my command. But it probably has to do with matchmaking, weddings, ceremonies, and beauty. The Giant Crystal Plane has become the Love God’s blessed land. Couples who marry here receive the Love God’s blessing,” Anthony said with a wry smile.

Negris became frustrated: “Since when did we have another Love God? How did I not know? Do the Gods come wholesale, adding one every now and then?”

“It’s the same, the full title is Love and Beauty Goddess, like before in the Goddess of Beauty City, but now there’s an added duty of the Love God. Imagine, a plain couple arrives at the Giant Crystal Plane, experiences bathing, beautification, skincare, makeup, and then several elves assist them with their wedding attire, completing a grand ceremony, solemnly marrying, and documenting the whole process — how delightful,” Anthony remarked.

“Damn it, you made a fortune again, didn’t you!?” Negris said enviously, knowing full well how profitable that Goddess of Beauty City setup is. Now adding ‘love,’ it’s hard not to make money.

“No, no, it’s Lisa who made a fortune, not me. But with her and the silver coin, money troubles aren’t my worries anymore, haha,” Anthony laughed heartily.

For someone who oversees everything like him, what is the most headache-inducing issue? Money, of course. Everything else can be solved through strategies; only money can’t be conjured out of thin air.

Before collaborating with silver coin Lisa, he often resorted to kidnapping, extortion, and other tactics to gather funds, but only against those who hoarded and monopolized wealth among noble merchants.

The main reason he does not engage in such actions now is because silver coin and Lisa are so proficient in generating money that he doesn’t need to worry about money anymore.

Silver coin may be a shrewd businessman, but his commercial monetization capacity isn’t very strong due to the substantial investment in trade routes, commerce guild operations, employee wages, and other factors, often leaving no liquid cash available.

Lisa is different; whenever she starts working, she regularly transfers hundreds of thousands into the warehouse, and it’s often liquid cash, faster than robbing.

With such cooperation from the God of Wealth, how could Anthony not be all smiles? Now, the Ancient Man Snake has taken away the plane, and his God of Wealth is still on it?

Realizing this, Anthony became a bit anxious and hastily asked: “Is Ancient Man Snake after Lisa, Lord?”

Ange shook his head.

“Not after Lisa, then it’s after the plane? Why would it drag away a plane?” Negris asked puzzledly.

Ange scratched his head, decided not to think about it anymore, pinched a ball of flame from his body, tossed it forward, and the flame slowly formed into Lisa’s figure: Ask yourselves.

Lisa formed herself, quickly saluting: “Greetings, Lord, Lord Negris, Lord Anthony.”

Ange nodded.

Anthony then asked: “No need for pleasantries. Why are you on the Giant Crystal Plane? What’s the situation now? Why did the Ancient Man Snake drag away a plane?”

Lisa was equally confused: “I don’t know either, we were hosting a ball and singing on the Giant Crystal Plane when a thick vine suddenly descended from the sky, grabbed the thickest crystal, and dragged us away.”

“Didn’t it warn you or observe you?” Anthony asked.

“No, it didn’t even glance at us, I couldn’t sense its thoughts, it just suddenly grabbed and dragged us away,” Lisa said.

Negris commented: “I get the feeling like it’s picking up a stick for a fight on the roadside?”

Lisa went dark in the face; she’s now on this stick. Why pick a stick on the roadside? Why pick the Giant Crystal Plane?

“Maybe the Giant Crystal Plane is just the right size with grips to grab,” Negris said.

The Giant Crystal Plane isn’t very large, just right for the Ancient Man Snake’s size, plus the protruding giant crystals on it look firm and solid. Other planes don’t have any part to grab, and grabbing might disassemble the plane. Thus, the Giant Crystal Plane is indeed rather suitable.

“Then… what do we do now?” Lisa asked weakly.

“Don’t worry, the Lord can withdraw your consciousness anytime, and you’re a Star God Half Body capable of Virtualization. Just jump back and Virtualize, and you’ll be off the plane,” Anthony assured.

“I’m not worried about myself, but what about Faradi? What about the clients? What about those newlyweds? I organize collective weddings on that plane every month. There are at least fifty couples currently having weddings there and over twenty major clients regularly healing at the Goddess of Beauty City. If something happens to them, the reputation of the Goddess of Beauty City will be ruined, and my funding next year will be jeopardized,” Lisa said worriedly.

Anthony took a deep breath, his mind swiftly working, for the newlyweds, for the major clients, for next year’s budget…

“Can they be teleported away?” Anthony asked.

“No, the plane’s being dragged at such high speed that it exceeds the Teleportation Array’s positioning threshold; it’s the same for Teleportation Scrolls; they explode upon use,” Lisa replied.

“Using Star Shifting to go up there and lead those people away with Star Shifting?” Anthony suggested.

Negris shook his head: “No, ordinary people can’t Virtualize, and thus can’t Star Shift. Ange can’t project there either because the projection would be discovered by the Ancient Man Snake. All big-noise methods are impractical — being discovered or shocking ordinary people to death.”

Anthony frustratingly scratched his head, saying: “Looks like the only way is to find it a better ‘stick’.”
