By associating with Nezha, I became the darling of the Chinese gods.

Chapter 129 Fighting the Nian Beast: Starting with Hand-made Fireworks!
After politely seeing the peddler off, Wen Miao returned to her rural home base in a daze.

In the village, the other people favored by the gods also returned one after another.

As soon as they met, they started exchanging information all at once, without even having time to catch their breath.

"Everyone, our village is located in a remote area. On this trip today, we did not see any gathering places of people favored by the gods nearby."

At this point, the chosen one raised his chin smugly and continued:

"However, hehe... I ran into Jiang Yu halfway through the journey. He seemed to be in a hurry, so I added his contact information before he left."

This is indeed good news!
Shang Tianqi and the others' eyes lit up, and they quickly said:
"Is it really Jiang Yu? Quickly add him to the group!"

"That's right! Let's set aside some time later and have a video conference to discuss what to do next!"

"Putting everything else aside, we should at least get together as soon as possible!"

Upon hearing this, Wen Miao couldn't help but twitch her lips, thinking to herself:
No!
They're already inside a sacred site, why are they still holding meetings all night? It's not like they're having a charlatan's class at a seminary!

But despite the complaints, the video conference still needs to be held.

After Jiang Yu was brought into the "Genius Concentration Camp" group, the chosen ones present continued to recount their discoveries.

"There's a small village about 1000 meters to the west. It looks like the original inhabitants. Does anyone want to come with me tomorrow morning to ask the villagers for information?"

"No problem, I'll go with you!"

"Add me one!"

Perhaps because of shared interests, and with no immediate need for elimination among themselves, everyone was quite cooperative.

Suddenly, one of the chosen ones asked abruptly:
"Oh, right, there's one more crucial thing: who activated that full-map announcement just now?"

"I don't know! Does anyone know what the full map announcement from the StarNet system means?"

"What exactly is this Nian beast?"

"Exactly, the StarNet system suggests we kill the Nian Beast, but we need to know when it will arrive!"

Everyone complained with long faces.

Wen Miao swallowed hard, exchanged a glance with Shang Tianqi, and then obediently raised her hand and said:

"Um... I activated it!"

"As for when the Nian beast will appear."

At this point, Wen Miao cleared her throat: "I think... cough cough, I guess I know some inside information!"

The StarNet system has made it clear that the beast coming to the capital is the Nian!
I bet there's no one in all of China who doesn't know what the Nian beast is afraid of!

Those favored by the gods: "..."

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

Ok…

Well, they don't seem surprised that Wen Miao activated it.

It's getting darker.

The dim, gloomy light gradually eroded the brightness, as if it could devour the hope in everyone's hearts, leaving everything hazy and powerless.

Being in such a dim environment is like being in a chaotic world full of unknown dangers, which makes people feel heavy and depressed.

"Let's go inside and talk."

Wen Miao frowned, feeling a sense of unease. She led everyone into the largest thatched hut in the village to discuss matters, where a fire-elemental deity lit an oil lamp.

Wow!
In the dimly lit thatched hut, an oil lamp suddenly lit up, its candlelight faintly illuminating everyone's anxious and preoccupied faces.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

"..."

Just then, a series of group chat notification sounds rang out in everyone's ears.

Wen Miao looked down and saw that it was Jiang Yu, who had just joined the group, inviting new members to join.

To be precise, it's a lot of newcomers!

The tiny 'genius concentration camp' was instantly packed to capacity.

A rough count revealed that over ten thousand people favored by the gods had joined the group!

However, this is not over yet!

Five minutes have passed, and countless people are still joining the group!

The number of people in the group chat also skyrocketed from 260 to 23690!
Upon seeing this, Shang Tianqi stared in shock, his eyes wide, and blurted out:

"Wow! Jiang Yu is awesome!" The others in the thatched hut were also stunned, their mouths agape in amazement.

"Incredible! We've only been here a short time, and he's already managed to contact so many of the chosen ones!"

"As expected of Jiang Yu! I'm impressed by her skills!"

"Phew, I'm relieved now. Although we haven't been able to contact the main force, at least we have enough people!"

"That's right! Even if that Nian beast suddenly attacks, we will have the power to fight back!"

Wen Miao smiled as she looked at Jiang Yu's profile picture.

Teaming up with him is indeed very worry-free.

"Alright, everyone, let's get ready for the video conference!" Wen Miao said, skillfully pressing the 'video' button on the StarNet system panel.

next moment--

The StarNet system emitted a series of urgent alerts once again:

[Beep, Jiang Yu enters the conference room.]

[Beep, Danxue enters the conference room.]

[Beep. Fan Ling enters the conference room.]

【…】

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of people favored by the gods poured into the conference room.

Fan Ling: [Long time no see, everyone! I'm back!]

Xu Ruiyang: [Hahaha! What idiot came up with this group name? It's hilarious, so stupid!]

But Xue: [Hehe, I have experience, it must have been Shang Tianqi! @Shang Tianqi, get out here and change the group name!]

Shang Tianqi: [Thanks for the invitation, but I am now deceased. Please do not disturb.]

Fan Ling: [Come on! Even if you die, you'd still change the group name!]

Su Nan: [Hey guys upstairs, stop chatting! How can you still be laughing at a time like this?!]

Su Nan: [Our most urgent task right now is to discuss the battle plan!]

Jiang Yu: [Wen Miao, there are still some chosen ones we haven't been able to contact yet. Let's leave them for now and have a meeting. We'll contact them later!]

Wen Miao typed: 【Okay!】

By the dim candlelight, Wen Miao looked around and, seeing that everyone had arrived, recounted all the news she had heard from the peddler, then offered words of comfort:
"Don't worry, everyone. As far as I know, the Nian beast only appears on New Year's Eve."

"There's still a week until Lunar New Year's Eve, so we have time to prepare our tools and fight off the Nian monster."

Accept the challenge?

Everyone asked in bewilderment, "But what tools do we need to prepare? Won't our magical artifact work?"

Wen Miao stroked her chin, her tone full of hesitation: "That's uncertain. The Nian beast is an ancient ferocious beast, it's definitely not easy to deal with!"

"I think we should have two more contingency plans besides divine artifacts and magical treasures, such as..."

After a pause, Wen Miao said with sparkling eyes, "For example, use the things that the Nian beast fears most to lead the attack!"

In the video, Fan Ling sighed: "But the problem is, what is the Nian beast afraid of?"

Wen Miao's lips twitched, and she thought to herself:

Haha, you've come to the right person!
"Red, firelight, and a huge sound!"

"so…"

Wen Miao wiped her face and asked with great interest, "Does anyone know how to make fireworks? You know, the kind that explodes with beautiful sparks when lit!"

"We'll celebrate the New Year while simultaneously slaughtering the Nian!"

Perfect timing, she hasn't celebrated the New Year in the Tang Dynasty yet!

Everyone: "???"

What?
What is Chinese New Year? What are fireworks?
It will explode into beautiful sparks...

Oh, they get it!

Are they going to manually develop interstellar military weapons?

Tell me earlier!
They're really good at it!!!
