"Let’s go. I really want to see what’s so important in there to be guarded by such a powerful beast." Ian looked at the green flickering dot ahead of them with excitement. He licked his lips at the thought of obtaining something valuable. "That bastard deer said that he’s waiting for his master, right? If so, who was powerful enough to subdue such a beast? How valuable is the item inside?"
Hearing this, the Grand Elder shook his head in bewilderment. "Let’s hurry, it won’t be good if we encounter the so-called master. It’ll surely be dangerous even for us. If the servant was already that powerful, its master must be a being that we can’t afford to encounter for now..."
Ian nodded: "What you said makes sense. Let’s go!"
The two of them quickly made their way to the flickering green dot. The Grand Elder intertwined his fingers for two seconds before a green portal appeared before them. Before Ian could open his mouth, the green portal sucked them. The suction force was so strong that Ian couldn’t even muster a bit of resistance.
Ian’s vision darkened; he couldn’t see anything but darkness, and he felt his entire body had been paralyzed. He couldn’t feel his feet or even lift his fingers.
’What the hell? Did I die or something?’
It stayed for a few hours. Well, at least that was how Ian thought. Fortunately, he began to feel his body again and regained his vision. He looked around him and saw the Grand Elder, who had a dazed expression, which was then replaced by clarity.
Ian and the Grand Elder had now appeared on a cliff. Strangely, their hair rose, yet there was no wind. Their clothes fluttered and then transitioned to stillness.
The sky was what drew the two together. An orange sky with a dark blue moon. Ahead of Ian and the Grand Elder, at the edge of the cliff stood a ten-meter tree.
"Holy, what the hell is this feeling?" Ian’s eyes turned blank. His heart began to experience strong palpitations, and he instinctively felt repulsed as his gaze fell onto the tree. He had a strong desire to desire to destroy the tree as if encountering a natural enemy. "Do you also feel it?"
"Indeed, such a bizarre tree." The Grand Elder’s lips trembled.
The tree looks ordinary except for its leaves that have dark sun designs on each. The Grand Elder scrutinized the tree so as not to miss any details. As his gaze scanned the tree, he saw a solitary white fruit, and a strong desire erupted in his heart inexplicably. His entire body told him that as long as he consumed the fruit. He’ll become a god!
Suddenly, the Grand Elder was startled. He immediately slapped himself so hard that it resounded. Immediately, he retracted his gaze and looked at the ground, not daring to look at it any longer!
He almost lost control!
The Grand Elder’s face was horrified. "It must be an origin-grade fruit! There’s no doubt about it!"
"But there’s only one. What to do?" Ian also felt strongly tempted as he saw the fruits.
The Grand Elder, whose eyes were fixed on the ground, expressed his thoughts. "Of course, you can have it. I’m just here to accompany you in the first place. The rise of the empire depends on you."
For him, as long as Ian benefited, it was a win-win. Even now, he could feel his body undergoing a strengthening process due to the feedback of the technique. He feels that he only needs ten more years to be able to destroy a small country!
He knew that the period would shorten if Ian grew even stronger at this time.
Ian looked at the Grand Elder in surprise. "Why are you so generous to me? Are you not tempted at all?" "Do you think I’ll believe the rise of the empire nonsense? Are you taking me for a fool?"
’Why can you just take the fruit!?’ The Grand Elder inwardly complained and just stayed silent.
Ian smiled as he saw this. "Very well, although I don’t know your intention. Regardless, I’ll take this fruit."
As he said this, Ian stopped in front of the tree and took the white fruit in his hand. "So I just need to eat it? System, can you scan what the hell this fruit is?"
[The fruit contains high-level laws of the world. It’ll take two years to analyze the fruit entirely due to the complex laws it contains. However, the host can consume it now to complete the analysis in an instant. Rest assured, the host, the fruit would only have benefits to you and no harm.]
Ian stared at the description of the fruit, and he couldn’t help but feel surprised at this: "Are you for real this time?’ It was the first time that the system had been unable to analyze an object.
What does it mean? What does it imply?
Ian took a deep breath. It fucking means that fruit was certainly something extraordinary!
After all, so far, the system had managed to obtain information about things he let it analyze instantly. But now? It actually required days... This made Ian even more eager!
Behind Ian, three meters away, the Grand Elder glanced at Ian’s salivating mouth and couldn’t help but feel pained. ’I hope my investment turns out to be correct. He must grow stronger for my sake!’ as he pictured in his mind the heights that Ian could reach with his immense potential, a rotten smile appeared on his face. Well, no matter what happens, he’ll do his best to assist the king to reach his maximum potential!
Ian’s expression turned serious as he smelled the fruit. With a firm resolve, he pushed the fruit into his wide-open mouth and bit it, trying to relish the taste.
Yet as he did so, Ian’s face contorted into one of disgust. Too damn unpalatable! He wants to spit out the fruits, but he endured it. He couldn’t afford to waste an Origin-grade fruit, right?
