Xu Le also took a bite of the fruit in his hand and nodded to Ai Li.
"Yes, it is a fruit, but to be more precise, it is a fake fruit."
"Copycat?" Ai Li seemed to have heard Xu Le say this word before, but she didn't know what it meant.
Xu Le could only explain it again.
"The word 'shanzhai' means imitation, but usually it is a low-quality imitation."
"A poor imitation?"
Ai Li looked at the fruit in her hand and roughly understood what Xu Le meant, but she was still very confused.
Generally speaking, Xu Le is very confident about his own things. Why does he make such comments about these fruits:
"Are these fruits also of inferior quality? They seem to taste pretty good."
Hearing Ai Li praising him, Xu Le couldn't help but smile. This kind of praise was very useful to him.
But he was also very sober and did not get swelled up by it.
“If the knockoffs can surpass the original fruit, there are only two possibilities.
The first is that I am too powerful, and the second is that the original strong person has become weaker. "
He took Ai Li back to his residence, where Ding Ke was already waiting for him.
The person you're worried about hasn't come back all night... Isn't that worrying enough
In order to wait for Xu Le, it didn't even want to eat, so it only ate three small bowls...
But when he saw that Xu Le actually came back with Gou Zi, Ding Ke knew that his previous worries were unnecessary.
"This guy, most likely went to get a room..."
Meow! ~
Ding Ke shouted in dissatisfaction, then slowly walked in front of Xu Le and rubbed against him.
Then... we started to eat the fruits that Balashule brought back.
"Your scent is strong on these fruits. Could it be that you pooped on them?"
Xu Le: …
Xu Le grabbed Ding Ke, put it on the table, and then placed a few fruits on it.
"Eat it if you want, or not. If you don't want, forget it."
"Of course I have to eat, meow..."
Xu Le sat on the chair and began to rest for a while.
He had a lot of combat experience last night, and he was also severely damaged by Rewi Alley during the day.
In terms of physical strength, he is more tired than Chi Xiao...
So now that he has returned to his residence, Xu Le just wants to have a good rest and have a real sleep.
Seeing that Xu Le looked very tired, Ai Li took the initiative to walk behind him and began to massage his shoulders.
Xu Le leaned comfortably on Ai Li, feeling his questions and perfect massage.
I feel that it is better to have a woman by my side.
My life has been really rough these past few months.
"I'm sleepy."
"Still want to sleep?" Ai Li obviously got the meaning wrong. Before that, Xu Le was obviously no longer able to bear it.
Xu Le: …
He didn't know what to say. Only at this moment did he feel that admitting defeat was not a shameful thing.
"I just want to have a good sleep. There was a Kuroshio tide last night. I was very tired."
"Oh, haha." Ai Li suddenly smiled, making Xu Le's face blush.
"You admitted defeat!"
"Tsk... I'm not in a good mood today."
Xu Le felt a little ashamed after he finished speaking. This sentence had been written into a joke and posted online before.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Xu Le who is not in good condition."
…
The day after the Kuroshio Tide, it seemed like everyone was resting tacitly.
The fast-paced life of Tianrui Lifeng seemed to slow down because of this.
Bang!
The boss of the breakfast shop slapped a bug to death and frowned slightly and said:
"How can there be a fly at this time? No, is this thing a fly?"
Similar situations occur in every corner of Tianrui Lifeng.
High-end restaurants, clubs, and nightclubs.
Low-end entertainment venues, homes, and even dirty alleys and sewers can be found with these bugs.
Many people originally felt disgusted and disgusted.
But as there were more and more bugs, everyone got used to it.
The main problem is that these bugs are not aggressive.
Just like ordinary flies, they will run away most of the time, and their escape efficiency is not as agile as that of flies.
Basically, they can be killed with a slap in the face. It's not dangerous at all, it's just annoying.
Since there is no danger, people's vigilance is greatly reduced.
Not many people can truly perceive the threat posed by these insects.
Xu Le is one of them.
The way he discovered the problem was simple: with his eyes.
Peeping Dog, Level 0 Weirdness, Outer God.
Xu Le wasn't quite sure why this insect was called a peeping dog. He guessed it probably meant peeping
But the specific description of the insect's properties is already very clear.
They are creatures from the outside world. Although they don’t even have a grade, they do belong to the weird category.
This is quite interesting.
"These creatures are most likely related to the hidden giant bug."
"Big bug?" Ai Li asked doubtfully.
Afterwards, Xu Le briefly repeated to her everything about the investigation of the insects.
Before, he had been in a state where no one was available, so supporting Bai Jing and Chang Fengle also meant allocating more manpower.
Now that we have Rewi Alley, many things will be shared by others, and the pressure on execution will naturally be much less.
"The creatures from the outside world are hiding in this city. I'm not sure exactly where they are hiding. Anyway, this is what we have to do next."
"Is it more important than your promotion to Level 5?"
"It's hard to say who's more important. Anyway, let's find the bugs first."
Ai Li was not quite sure what the matter of the insects had to do with Xu Le, but since Xu Le said so, it was naturally her duty.
"I see, what do I need to do?"
"Do this..."
…
"Collect different species of insects, and carefully examine and classify them. They can be dead or alive. In short, bring as many as possible back to me."
Xu Le looked at Chang Fengle and gave his orders.
The content of this order was similar to what Ai Li and Bai Jing heard.
Rewi Alley can rely on his sense of smell to quickly detect rare species and find them quickly.
Bai Jing used her own darkness and telepathy to search the surroundings.
As for Chang Fengle... it simply depends on the number of people.
"I understand. Do you have any other requests, brother?"
Facing Xu Le, Chang Fengle maintained absolute respect and obedience at this time.
Because the more he grew, the more he felt Xu Le's power and unfathomable depth.
What kind of person is it who can create a tree of fruit
What will be the ultimate strength of Xu Le
Chang Fengle has been thinking about these questions since he ate the Night Demon Fruit. The answer is very simple: only absolute loyalty and obedience can be rewarded.
And after eating the Night Demon Fruit, he always had an inexplicable sense of intimacy with Xu Le.
Perhaps this is because he is one step closer to the truth of the fruit
Xu Le looked at Chang Fengle. This kid's growth rate was far more amazing than Bai Jing's.
The saying "an unexpected success leads to a great harvest" perhaps refers to this situation.
"Don't you want to know why we are catching bugs?"
"Every member of the Tree Herders has an obligation to fulfill the orders given by the eldest brother."
This attitude made Xu Le very satisfied.
I just don't know if this attitude will continue as their power expands and their strength grows.
So even if Chang Fengle behaves very loyally now, Xu Le still has to give him a warning.
"How does it feel to eat the fruit? Can you complete the transformation?"
"Forehead?"
Chang Fengle was shocked!
Sure enough! It was indeed him.
No, it is indeed a gift from my eldest brother.
That fruit was the reward given to him by his elder brother, that’s for sure.
If it is a process of accumulation of numbers, then the number of strange corpses enshrined in the upper tree has far exceeded that of the lower tree.
But the trees above showed no signs of producing new fruits.
And the tree below actually gave birth to a fruit with extraordinary power. This is the benefit of believing in Xu Le.
The benefits of being alone.
"Ah Le is stupid. I still only have a vague idea of the power of the fruit. I hope that big brother can help me solve the puzzle."
Chang Fengle is a very down-to-earth person who knows how to research results with his own abilities.
Even if it can be researched, it will probably take a long time. It would be better to ask Xu Le directly.
Time waits for no one. The sooner I gain mature power, the safer I will be now.
Although the Tree Shepherd Organization was temporarily developing under his control.
But he himself is not strong enough, so it is inevitable that some people will have second thoughts.
If he masters the power of the fruit early, he will have the capital to resist if someone really rebels.
Maybe doing this makes me look stupid.
But for a boss, having stupid subordinates is actually a sign of safety.
Xu Le felt the same way.
"The fruit you ate is called Night Demon, and it is a mid-level biological fruit."
"Intermediate biological fruit? Night Demon... Is it the Ancient Sound Fruit?"
"Yes and no."
"Uh, I don't understand."
"You don't need to understand. You just need to master the power of the fruit as much as possible during this period of time."
"Yes, then what should I do?"
"First, just feel the atmosphere of darkness."
"Feeling the dark atmosphere?"
"Like this..."
The dark fog instantly enveloped the two of them, and Chang Fengle suddenly felt that everything around him had become dark.
Although the surrounding buildings had not changed, the light was gone.
The strange thing is... even though it was already dark, he could still see the things around him clearly.
"Brother, is it dark?"
"Yes."
"But I seem to..."
"You have gained the ability of night vision, but it's still very weak, right?"
"Uh, that's right." Chang Fengle originally wanted to brag.
But unexpectedly, Xu Le directly said that his night vision was very poor, so there was no way to continue the conversation.
"So what should I do now?"
"First, you need to familiarize yourself with the dark environment as quickly as possible and acquire the ability to blend into the darkness."
"Blend into the darkness..."
Under Xu Le's careful teaching, Chang Fengle began to practice mastering the fruit.
This kind of one-on-one guidance is invaluable to Chang Fengle, as Xu Le had only instructed Bai Jing before.
At that time, Chang Fengle was very envious and he also hoped that he would have such an opportunity.
And now, this is the opportunity, he must seize it.
The body gradually became blurry, and dark particles spread all over the body.
Although Chang Fengle couldn't control the dark particles to leave the body like Bai Jing could, he couldn't use them as a special means of corruption attack.
But by fusing his own strength with the power of darkness, he was able to do it in a short period of time.
In this regard, he has made faster progress than Bai Jing.
In other words, he is more suitable for dark elements than Bai Jing.
Xu Le was slightly relieved when he saw Chang Fengle's progress.
"Good, you're smarter than I thought. This will save me a lot of time."
"Thank you for the compliment, brother. I am just doing what I should do."
"There's no need to be so humble in front of me. This is just the beginning..."
"Uh, it's just beginning?"
"Of course, since it is a biological fruit, the ultimate goal is naturally to completely transform."
"Completely transform into a night demon?"
As a mercenary, Chang Fengle naturally knew what the Night Demon was.
It was a monster in the darkness, a ruthless killing machine.
Even if it is other monsters, they will be ruthlessly killed by the ancient sound polluters.
Any mercenary's perception of the Night Demon is not good, and can even be said to be very bad.
Now Xu Le told him that the ultimate purpose of this fruit was to transform into a night demon.
Even though Chang Fengle had a big heart, he was still a little hesitant at this moment.
"What's wrong? If you are hesitant, you can still reject this power now. It's okay."
The struggle in Chang Fengle's eyes lasted less than 3 seconds.
He had already struggled with this problem when he ate the fruit before.
What he was thinking at that time was what if this fruit was dangerous
His answer was simple.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk.
He was born in a grassroots family. If he cannot improve himself quickly through some special channels, he will really be lost in the torrent and will never make any waves again.
Now that he had finally managed to hold onto Xu Le's thigh, he naturally had to hold on tightly.
“Don’t think too much, bro. This is my chance, and it may be the only chance I have in my life.
If I hadn’t seized this opportunity, I might have spent the rest of my life in obscurity.”
Seeing Chang Fengle's resolute look, Xu Le laughed in silence:
"Becoming a night demon isn't actually that scary."
"What do I need to do?"
"Use the power of darkness to truly blend into the darkness, feel the vortex of darkness, and find your friends."
"My friends?"
Chang Fengle could still understand what Xu Le had said before.
But in the end Xu Le asked him to find a friend
What's the meaning
Although he was confused, Xu Le in front of him obviously had no intention of continuing to explain.
Chang Fengle had no choice but to give up.
He closed his eyes and began to secretly draw strength from himself.
The power of darkness flowed through the body and gradually merged into the surrounding darkness.
He was too raw and clumsy.
This clumsiness made his integration into the darkness extremely slow.
But fortunately, with Xu Le's guidance and supervision, there are basically no problems.
There will be no situation where it will be treated as a foreign object and directly swallowed by the darkness.
In the end, Chang Fengle finally merged into the darkness.
Then... he saw pairs of eyes in the darkness.
"Night Demon? It's the Night Demon, brother!"
"You're so good."
