Chapter 137: Mass production of life fruit?
……
On the continent of Terra, on the border of the war-torn western region, there is a very small country called Miriast. (The same as "Inastan", which is also a self-designed name for the plot.)
But, rather than calling it a country, it is better to call it a region... because this country is really small, only 256 square kilometers... and this country is just a city, so it is called a region...
In the city of Alymest, a cloaked figure walked into a remote tavern.
After entering the pub, the figure walked to the bar and sat on a chair.
The bartender looked up at the man, then said while wiping his glass, "Are you free to come?"
"Um...Louis, how are you doing?"
"It's okay... Nothing interesting has happened recently..." replied the bartender Louis.
Then, the man took out a sealed bag from his pocket, and inside the bag was something that looked like a chip.
The man placed it gently on the bar and said, "Here, this is an information data chip found on a member of the Hellfire Society. There should be a lot of information and intelligence in it." After the man finished speaking, he yawned.
"The Hellfire Society... You actually managed to destroy an organization that even the Inastan royal family couldn't completely annihilate?" The bartender Louis stopped wiping the wine glass and asked in surprise.
"…They were the ones who came to find me on their own initiative, and they came here to die." The man was silent for a moment before speaking.
"Then you are very strong too! After all, although you were born in an era with very few new stars, you relied on yourself to find and use 15 life crystals, and killed a monster like the World Devourer alone..." Louis said.
"...I am only alive today because of what 'he' gave me... Well, tell me how much I can sell it for... Oh, a glass of wine, as usual."
"...Well...this data chip...comes from the Hellfire Society...how about I give you three gold coins?" Louis said as he started mixing the drinks.
"Okay, this should be a price that's sure to make a profit." After saying that, the man reached out and pushed the sealed bag over a little.
"Speaking of which, the bad thing about us data merchants is that we can't read the contents first before setting the price. We can only look at the source." Louis put away the sealed bag and said while mixing the wine.
"I think so too. But after all, no one would buy an information data chip that has been seen before. After all, as long as it has been seen by others, it means that the intelligence and information inside are not completely reliable."
"Oh, that's right... This kind of business where you don't know whether you're making a profit or a loss is troublesome..."
“…Concentrate on mixing my cocktail, it’s going to spill.” The man didn’t continue speaking, but pointed at the bartender’s hand movements.
"That's how it should be adjusted, don't worry..."
...After a while, Louis mixed the wine, poured it into the glass and handed it to the person opposite.
Then, the man picked up the wine and drank it all in one breath. Then he took the handkerchief handed to him by Louis and wiped his mouth elegantly.
"Your skills are getting better and better. Why don't you change your career and become a bartender? Don't treat bartending as a side job anymore." The man put the handkerchief on the table and said jokingly.
"Go away." Louis said unhappily.
"Okay, I'm leaving." After saying that, the man stood up and was about to leave, but Louis suddenly thought of something and stopped him: "By the way, let me tell you something."
"Go ahead."
Louis looked around first, and after making sure no one was paying attention, he motioned for the man to come closer... Then he took out a chip from the drawer and said:
"This chip is a slow-moving product. It's been a week and I can't sell it anymore... So I looked at it myself, and guess what?"
"You said."
"If, I mean if, the information in this chip is correct... then... Jiaden, that Jiaden, has created some powerful creatures again...
Moreover, he seemed to want to use Terra as a laboratory to test his creations. "When Louis said this, his voice was very low.
“…Jaden’s…creation…?” the man asked in surprise.
"Hmm... By the way, do you think you can destroy Jiaden's creation?"
"That's impossible. I'm just a rising star. I'm not as strong as those who have experienced the Moon Sorrow Era. How can I possibly destroy the creation of the Godcrafter Jiaden?"
"Don't say that, you are Inastan after all..." Louis said... Suddenly, the man immediately took out a pistol with green flames and aimed at Louis' head!
"You know I don't like people saying this, my friend." The man's face suddenly turned cold, with a hint of anger.
"...Okay, okay, I won't say any more... By the way, if you get the data chip from Jarden's creation, I'll offer this price." Louis said, holding up ten fingers.
"Ten gold coins?"
Louis shook his head: "Ten platinum coins."
"...Although, what you gave me is really a lot...but I won't risk my life for Jarden's new creation just for the money. See you later." After saying that, the man put away the pistol that was emitting green flames and left the tavern directly.
Then, the bartender Louis picked up a clean cloth and wiped the sweat that had just come out of fear, then sighed.
"Alas, this kid Elias still hasn't come out..."

……
Three days later——
After the efforts of Xiyao and Prism, they finally achieved the expected goal three days later!
Prism, when I went to get the materials for the Holy Cross Medal, I accidentally got three! That means I can make three Holy Cross Medals!
After exceeding the target of this task, Prism also went on to carry out another task, killing the treasure chest monster and obtaining a blue glove.
...When these two tasks were completed, Xiyao's work for Prism was also completed...and Xiyao also returned to Dongfang Town on the same day.
During these three days, Xi Yao lived in the jungle, and was "taken care of" by moss wasps and giant tortoises for a while... but he also gained a lot, and Xi Yao found a total of 73 life fruits!
That’s right, not 13, nor 23, but 73 Life Fruits! And this is based on the premise that Xi Yao has already eaten 20 Life Fruits!
Exceeding the task target is yes.
...Then, Xi Yao took the materials and forged the Holy Cross Medal according to the instructions in the Book of Terra...
There are three in total, one was left in the box, and the other two were upgraded with the Obsidian Shield to become the Holy Cross Shield.
As an item from the Evil Age, the Holy Cross Shield will repair itself after being broken, so there is no need to worry about the shield shattering directly in battle.
Afterwards, Xi Yao also created an accessory called Power Gloves. Power Gloves is a warrior accessory, and its effect is to increase a large number of warrior attributes for the wearer, specifically manifested in the speed of swinging weapons and the attack range of weapons.
After finishing the forging, Xi Yao gave twenty life fruits to Prism... Then Xi Yao frowned and looked at Prism, whose body was trembling slightly.
"what happened?"
“The Life Fruit is such a… such a precious thing… and you actually gave me… twenty of them?” Prism’s voice was trembling.
Xi Yao shrugged: "Don't be surprised, the Life Fruit is easy to find... but only if you use the right method..."
There was a way Xi Yao was able to get so many life fruits. He followed the methods in the Book of Terra and dug ten tunnels three meters high, three meters wide and one hundred meters long deep in the jungle on the first day he arrived!
Because Andrew, the author of the Book of Terra, said that the generation speed of Life Fruit is actually very fast, but people cannot see it in some places. In addition, only a few people can explore underground in the jungle, which creates a situation where Life Fruit is rarer than Life Crystal.
In fact, all you need to do is dig some tunnels deep underground in the jungle, and life fruits will grow like mushrooms after a spring rain... Well, okay, it's not that exaggerated... but it's still efficient.
In short, after Xiyao dug ten tunnels, he "laid out" in the jungle for three days... and then went to collect the ripe life fruits in the tunnels...
"Okay, take this Holy Cross Shield, and then plan your accessories... Meet at the square after lunch tomorrow, and I'll take you to the Sunken Sea to relax."
He said he was wearing the prism to relax, but in fact, Xiyao himself also needed to relax.
...After all, when Andrew was around before, his smile gave Xiyao a feeling of warmth and peace of mind...
Really, it gives people a feeling that this person who calls himself a guide is someone who can block anything and everything for him... (Let me guess, someone will say the guide who opens the door for the monster in the game.)
However, after the wall of flesh and blood collapsed, the arrival of Xie Shangji made Xi Yao's nerves tense all the time... After all, he now has a huge burden on his shoulders...
After all, it has been more than fifty chapters... Ugh!
After all, Xiyao had been working hard for Dongfang Town, his "home", for the past two months... and of course, for the war...
...Xi Yao thought as he silently put his Holy Cross Shield and powerful gloves into the void storage space, then walked towards the cafeteria in Dongfang Town, planning to eat.
