"Can this tree really produce fruit?"
“I also feel it’s too outrageous.”
Many mercenaries who had just joined the tree shepherds expressed their disbelief, as fruits were not unfamiliar to them.
But for most of them, at least for level 2 warriors, saving money to buy a fruit is almost impossible.
The consumption of weapons and equipment, the support of the family, and daily enjoyment.
All of these cost a lot of money, so many mercenaries have to maintain a balance between income and expenditure.
Saving money is too difficult for them.
As for not enjoying...
This requirement is even more outrageous. Most of the mediocre mercenaries have mediocre talents.
They live a life of uncertainty. If such people are not allowed to enjoy themselves, what if they save 30,000 to 50,000 yuan and then fail in one mission? What should we do then
The money either goes to banks or is buried directly in the ground.
In this situation, it is impossible for most ordinary mercenaries to save money. At most, they can keep some money to replace new equipment.
Now there is an opportunity...
Everyone was excited, but more were skeptical.
"You asked us to hunt monsters and bring back their bodies, but if we can't produce fruits, wouldn't our time here be in vain? And it's so dangerous."
Hearing these people's doubts, Chang Fengle felt a little disdainful.
As expected, these people are just ordinary people, a bunch of rotten wood that cannot be withered.
Fortunately, he followed his eldest brother, otherwise, he would have become one of these rotten wood.
They spend their whole lives in the wild, living in a daze, until they die of injuries or illnesses, or are killed by the monsters in the wild.
Now, they are people from two different worlds.
Chang Fengle looked at these people and then stretched out his right hand.
Sizzle!
The electric current gathered in his arms, which was terrifying.
Although he practiced diligently to control lightning, his talent was just average.
Therefore, it cannot achieve the same commanding effect as Bai Jing, but it is completely enough to scare these ordinary mercenaries in front of them.
"drink!"
Chang Fengle shouted and punched the iron pillar of the old factory building.
The solid iron pillar was bent by his punch.
This power is really amazing.
“Many people know my level. I can exert such power because I rely on the effect of thunder power.
Of course, my talent is limited, and the development of fruit abilities needs to be improved.
Besides me, several of my companions also gained the same power."
As Chang Fengle spoke, the old mercenaries also showed off their skills.
Using their own thunderous power, they cracked bricks and hit boards.
It's strange that they use the ability to activate lightning to do such a thing.
But that's just the extent of their level. The fruit does have the effect of improving strength, but the final result still depends on talent.
But these people demonstrated their respective lightning abilities, and they were all of the same attributes in a very uniform manner.
The new tree shepherd members are getting restless!
“It’s actually true!”
"They all have the power of thunder and lightning. If a new fruit is born, will it also have such power?"
Chang Fengle nodded kindly.
"Of course it is. This is your chance to ascend to the sky in one step.
There are still 11 days left before the black tide arrives. Can you seize this time to provide enough resources to the tree and absolutely improve your strength
It depends on your attitude. "
"What if you lie to us?"
As people continued to question him, Chang Fengle suddenly became angry.
"Then get out! Did I put a knife on your neck and force you
I, Chang Fengle, have been hanging around in Changfeng District. I was originally a small gangster. Now I have the opportunity to take you all to fly together, so I’ll call you to come along.
You bastards, you question this and that. If you don’t want to do it, just get out. I won’t stop you.”
The empty factory building, which had been somewhat noisy, suddenly became quiet.
Chang Fengle's anger was very effective.
After he lost his temper, there were no more dissenting voices.
And those few people who raised questions didn't really mean to quit.
Chang Fengle was really angry just now. He was just a young man and he really couldn't control his temper many times.
The anger just now was not fake.
But unexpectedly, this time, his anger brought him unusual gains.
Chang Fengle thought to himself:
“When I was really angry, no one dared to question me, and no one really left.
Poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people, and all of these people are bullies who only fear the strong and bully the weak."
The cruelty and evil in my heart are growing.
Chang Fengle inexplicably improved the postures and experience of some superiors. He had never understood these situations before and had no way to figure them out.
It's really interesting.
"Okay, everyone, if you want the fruit, then go ahead and kill.
Your efforts will be rewarded accordingly, which is the recognition from the tree.
And we are called tree shepherds."
…
After a few more days, the day when the black tide would come was not far away.
In Tianrui Lifeng, where everyone is a soldier, anyone who is determined will definitely seize the last few days and do everything possible to improve his or her strength.
Even the tree shepherds are a group of insignificant people with a loose organization.
After Chang Fengle repeatedly assured that the trees could produce fruit, other members of the team also started to get motivated.
Nonsense, that's fruit.
For ordinary people, this is an opportunity to reach great heights overnight.
Of course, one fruit cannot change their fate.
However, it can indeed steadily improve their strength by one major level.
It is unlikely for a level 2 to fight a level 3. Under normal circumstances, a level 3 warrior can easily kill a level 2 warrior.
But if a level 2 warrior is blessed with the power of thunder and lightning, it will be different.
Perhaps in a head-on fight, a level 3 warrior is still stronger, but after a level 2 warrior has the power of thunder and lightning, he has a chance to turn the tables.
Such an increase is equivalent to giving away a level for free.
How difficult is it to break through from level 2 to level 3
This is the difference between a high-level martial artist and a master martial artist, a gap that many people cannot cross in their lifetime.
But now you can achieve it by just eating a fruit.
How tempting is this
So these people worked very hard, hunting monsters and bringing them back to the tree shepherd base factory. These monsters were all around the trees.
During these few days, the magical power of the tree has made the tree shepherds begin to believe in it.
In just 6 days, with the offering of strange corpses.
The tree grew from the size of a sapling to about the size of a mature willow tree.
The bright blue light and black light will be emitted at night, which is very mysterious.
However, no fruits were produced on the trees, which made some of the tree herders a little anxious.
"Ah Le, we are almost at the Kuroshio, why hasn't the birth fruit appeared yet?"
"It will definitely be born. You have seen how the tree is growing. At this point, you won't still doubt me, right?"
"I'm not doubting you, but time is running out. If you delay any further, the black tide will come.
Everyone has been exhausted from hunting monsters recently, so we should take a few days to rest and prepare for the Kuroshio, right?"
Chang Fengle frowned slightly. In fact, he knew best why the fruit had not been born.
Xu Le gave him three seeds.
But there is only one tree in the factory, and that's why.
The other seed was planted by Chang Fengle in another place, and that tree belonged entirely to him.
Many of the strange corpses that were transported here were secretly brought to his place by him to share the absorption of resources.
This was indeed an abuse of power for personal gain, but no one knew that Chang Fengle would be so bold.
No one could have imagined that the tree of precious fruit actually had three seeds.
However, Chang Fengle only planted one in private.
One is that there are not enough resources, and the other is that by leaving a seed, even if something happens here in the future, he will have the qualifications to make a comeback.
This is a retreat that a superior should prepare.
He has become more and more skilled in becoming a superior.
Chang Fengle looked at everyone, closed his eyes slightly, felt the moonlight scattered on the ground, and then opened his eyes.
"I have a feeling that tonight will be the day when the fruit is born.
Everyone, please be patient and wait for the tree to grow."
"Tonight? Really?"
The mercenaries were surprised and delighted, as the approach of the Black Tide had made them extremely anxious.
But now that Chang Fengle suddenly gave a positive answer, they seemed not so anxious anymore.
The anticipation in my heart is hard to control, and the previous anxiety is gone.
"Of course it's true. The tree gave me feelings and responses, and the fruit was born tonight."
Chang Fengle was so sure that the tree would bear fruit because he had already obtained a fruit from his tree last night.
That fruit was truly the fruit “given” to him by the tree.
However, there was more than one fruit born on the tree, but the tree only gave him one.
This made Chang Fengle feel very strange and wondered if he had made a wrong judgment.
The nourishment levels of the trees on both sides are similar, so the tree at the tree shepherd's base should also produce fruit tonight after absorbing the strange corpses during the day.
Chang Fengle needs to observe whether this tree will produce new fruits.
And it’s not just for one person.
After Chang Fengle made his promise, everyone began to wait.
Some Tianrui Lifeng mercenaries who never prayed actually started praying at this time.
Sure enough, things like faith must be combined with practicality.
Time passed minute by minute, and everyone waited until 12 o'clock midnight. The tree, which had been motionless, suddenly began to move.
The bare branches began to move and red flowers began to grow on the trees.
This tree has no leaves, and it looks a bit scary to see flowers growing without leaves.
This scene shocked many people and they all started talking about it.
"It's blooming, so is it going to bear fruit?"
"I don't know..."
"Stop talking, be pious. Chang Fengle has never said anything specific about this fruit."
"Maybe he doesn't know either."
"Stop talking nonsense. He is a tree herder now, a real tree herder. We are just new members."
"Do you really think of yourself as a member of the organization? Haha, I'm just here to get some fruits."
The mercenaries are a mixed bag, and they all have different ideas.
There are quite a few people who come here just to get a chance to gain some benefits.
But if they really get a free fruit, will they still leave? This is a question that many people have not thought about.
Because for these mercenaries, a fruit is already an unattainable wish.
No one thinks about the future.
Only Chang Fengle is different.
Xu Le once said with certainty that one can eat many fruits of the tree shepherd, and the same fruit will enhance the power of the same kind.
That’s the real attraction.
After eating a fruit and gaining a huge boost, can you still refuse a second fruit
By then, I will start working for the tree shepherd organization again.
Then comes the second fruit, the third fruit, endlessly.
The power of the polluters will also spread quietly in this process.
"It's started!" Chang Fengle whispered.
After he spoke, the flowers on the tree began to wither rapidly.
He had seen this scene once last night.
What surprised him was that the resources here were obviously less than those in his place, but the flowers blooming here were more than the tree he raised.
What's going on
As the flowers withered and died, the fruits began to grow rapidly.
Most of these fruits are blue, with visible lightning power wrapped around them.
Obviously, this is the Thunder Fruit!
Another part is red, but there are far fewer red fruits and the specific effect is unclear.
There is also a black fruit, and there is only one of them, which makes people even more imaginative.
"The Thunder Fruit, it's really the Thunder Fruit, Chang Fengle didn't lie to us."
Chang Fengle was also confused at this time. He couldn't judge the rules of the tree because he felt that the tree was calling him.
This is the second time.
He can get another reward
Chang Fengle walked slowly to the front of the tree.
A branch suddenly came in front of him with a fruit wrapped around it. It was a red fruit, the kind he had never eaten before...
Chang Fengle was stunned, then quickly took the fruit down.
He shouted to the crowd:
“This is the gift of the tree!”
Afterwards, Chang Fengle ate the fruit in one bite, and the sweetness filled the air.
"Haven't you eaten the Thunder Fruit?" Someone reacted immediately.
"This is not just ancient music!" Chang Fengle grinned.
He didn't know what kind of power he had obtained, so he just tried to show off first.
If you don't show off, there's no way to intimidate these bastards.
"I have gained new power. Now, it's your turn."
Under Chang Fengle's guidance, the second person stood in front of the tree with a puzzled look on his face.
Then, a lightning fruit was rolled down by the branch and handed to the mercenary.
This person is a level 3 warrior, and the only new level 3 warrior who has joined their group.
"Is this... for me?"
Looking at the other party's excited and confused expression, Chang Fengle knew that this guy would never leave.
"Of course, this is the gift of the tree, and we are the tree shepherds."
