I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 64: The Tycoon

No matter how dark the future is, life must go on.

After finishing reading the materials on pollution, Jiang Hou opened the forum section, and the first thing he saw was a post by Zong Zheng Nan Mo.

[Haha, hello everyone, I am Zong Zheng Nan Mo, a new reserve member, please take care of me in the future]

This scene gave Jiang Hou a feeling reminiscent of the first time he played on internet forums, filled with some sentiment and nostalgia. He clicked into the post where there were already replies.

Shentu Ni: "Welcome Brother Zongzheng to the branch family."

Jiang Wanshan: "Brother Zongzheng, you finally showed up. Someday let’s invite Brother Jiang Hou to drink together."

Fu Hongyu: "Welcome."

Ye Junda, Huang Ziting, Miao Fang, Divine Palace Feiyue, and Xia Longyuan gave a like.

Duan Xuan: "Brother Zongzheng is here, not bad! Our branch is growing again. Let’s celebrate with a lucky red envelope, ten in number, first come first serve."

The two who received upgraded smartwatches and had their permissions activated today were considered officially joined in the Yidu City Celestial Punishment Branch.

While talking, even though it was a post, a red envelope appeared on the chat page.

Jiang Hou, who was browsing, subconsciously clicked on it. The envelope flipped and showed the number 1000.

Jiang Wanshan: "Haha, lucky today, got twelve thousand, enough to buy drinks for Brothers Zongzheng and Jiang Hou."

Zong Zheng Nan Mo: "Brother Duan is generous, I will accept the twenty thousand without hesitation."

Shentu Ni: "Had poor luck, only twenty-five thousand."

Then a notice popped up below, announcing who got the red envelope. The luckiest one was Divine Palace Feiyue, while Jiang Hou and someone named Xia Longyuan were the poorest, each getting only a thousand.

...Looking at the string of numbers showing over ten thousand in winnings, Jiang Hou fell silent.

This ’Brother’ Duan Xuan, though only at Tier Three Peak in strength, had quite a substantial wealth, casually sending out a lucky red envelope totaling a hundred thousand!

Duan Xuan: "Haha, no need to be polite, I’m happy if you’re happy. I have something to do, so I’ll log off."

The others didn’t continue the conversation either; they seemed rather busy. Seeing this, Jiang Hou logged out as well.

This branch forum of the Extraordinary Organization was mainly for exchange and sharing, such as experiences and what kinds of monsters with special abilities were encountered while exploring ruins.

But soon Jiang Hou fell silent again.

Because there were hardly any experience-sharing posts on the forum, it was mostly gossip and personal check-in threads.

The top pinned beautiful picture check-in thread was actually established by that bearded Jiang Wanshan, who posted a few pictures of sexy and beautiful women daily, which received a string of likes below.

And the one with the most posts was Duan Xuan, who shared food daily or introduced new products from five-star hotels, etc.

The bald young man Shentu Ni shared music; whenever he heard a passionate song, he would upload it for everyone to enjoy.

As for Fu Hongyu, all his posts were ice sculpture pictures... The afternoon passed with Jiang Hou browsing through the materials. By five o’clock, the three of them dispersed.

Evening

Jiang Hou sat on the sofa, casually asking as he watched Qin Siyu walk over after her bath: "Siyu, have you ever met her sister when you went to Divine Palace Feirou’s house to play?"

The girl, with her hair still a bit damp, shook her head: "No, Rourou said her sister is very busy and usually not at home." She seemed a bit puzzled as she spoke.

"Why are you asking about Rourou’s sister?"

"Oh, nothing, just asking casually." Jiang Hou smiled and changed the topic.

"By the way, Siyu, I grabbed a big red envelope in the organization group today. Let’s go shopping tomorrow; autumn is coming, I want to buy you some new clothes."

"Is the red envelope that big?" The girl tilted her head, looking a bit cute.

Jiang Hou sighed: "It’s not just big, even with my worst luck, I got a thousand!"

"That’s so exaggerated. Does your organization member’s family own a mine?" Qin Siyu was a bit surprised and then shook her head.

"I’ve already made plans with Rourou to visit her tomorrow afternoon. We can buy clothes next week; the current stores have limited autumn collections."

"Anything’s fine." Jiang Hou nodded.

At this moment, Qin Siyu picked up the remote control to turn on the TV, and the content immediately made Jiang Hou’s eyes narrow.

"This afternoon, the Western Continent Alliance’s army ignored Abudan and Kammon’s warnings and crossed the border into both countries; war has officially broken out."

"The Southern Line Command of the Western Continent Alliance claimed their corps advanced over a hundred kilometers today, forcefully breaking through the defenses of two Abudan corps."

"More than 300 sorties of fighter jets and bombers were launched, targeting key facilities in Abudan’s Huang Province, with all missiles hitting their targets."

"Statements from the Northern Line Command mirrored those of the Southern Line, each boasting brilliant victories."

"However, not long after the Western Continent Alliance’s North and South Line commands made their statements, Abudan and Kammon also issued their own declarations."

"They claimed they intercepted all missiles, countered the Western Continent Alliance’s offensive on the frontline, and have confidence in holding out and driving the Western Continent Alliance away."

"Jiang Hou, they’ve started fighting abroad." Qin Siyu’s small mouth was slightly open.

The world had been at peace for so long that wars seemed a distant memory to everyone.

"Yes, they’ve started fighting." Jiang Hou’s gaze was heavy.

The international news just now didn’t mention Transcendents, but both Dongqin and the Bauhinia Federation had sent in their strong forces, perhaps already engaged in combat.

This was a confrontation among the world’s three strongest military corps and the three great Transcendent Powers.

However, these occurrences were still somewhat distant from him for now.

......

Night! After Qin Siyu returned to her room, Jiang Hou also silently disappeared.

Boiling underground magma flowed, and a twenty-two meter tall black Giant Ape stood before a massive cave, which marked one end of the underground fissure.

Unexpectedly, the end was a gigantic cave, and above the fissure was an active volcano spewing black smoke, with hot magma flowing out along the cave entrance.

"The source of this fissure is actually a volcano."

The Black Armored Giant Ape raised its head, observing the black smoke rising to the sky from the mountaintop, and its gaze was momentarily silent. Then, with heavy footsteps, it moved resolutely towards the depths of the cave.

Yesterday, after devouring a Three-headed Flood Dragon Python and two ferocious beasts, and absorbing the essence contained in their flesh and blood, the Black Armored Giant Ape’s resistance to high temperatures had significantly increased.

Combined with its robust giant beast body, temporarily entering the magma for a bath posed no problem, except that its fur would get singed.

The cave was enormous, with a height and width of several hundred meters. In the middle flowed a nearly hundred-meter-wide river of magma, which wound and disappeared into the depths of the underground fissure outside.

Due to the burning magma, the air within the cave was hot and filled with thick black smoke.

The Black Armored Giant Ape had penetrated not even a kilometer when it discovered an eight-meter-long, slender-bodied ferocious beast with its body covered in red chitin.

This ferocious beast resembled the Black Ant Ferocious Beast, except it was much larger, with flames flickering at its joints, emitting a Tier Three aura.

Roar! The Black Armored Giant Ape let out an excited roar at the old ’acquaintance’.

Boom! The hard rock under the Giant Ape’s feet exploded as its massive body swept up a whirlwind, appearing before the Red Ant Ferocious Beast, which had its head immersed in magma, absorbing energy.

Bang!

The Red Ant Ferocious Beast barely had time to react before its body was slammed to the ground by the enormous palm, the powerful impact shattering the ground and creating cracks that spread all around.

Crack! Crack!! Not giving the Tier Three ferocious beast a chance to struggle, the Black Armored Giant Ape directly snapped its four limbs and claws, then delivered a punch to its head.

Bang! The head of the Red Ant Ferocious Beast shattered at the front, spraying scarlet, scorching blood as its body struggled violently yet was utterly powerless.

Having skillfully completed this, the Black Armored Giant Ape dragged the body of the Red Ant Ferocious Beast to the cliff face a hundred meters away as a precaution against hidden beasts in the magma river.

Whoosh! The Black Armored Giant Ape swiftly shrank, revealing a slaughter form wielding a Demon Blade.
