"If you pay close attention, you should be able to see that the hidden injuries accumulated in your body over the past, as well as the physical fatigue caused by hunger and staying up late, have now been completely eliminated. Moreover, your vitality and strength should have also been greatly improved. According to Lord Su Mo, the fruit of the Tree of Life can help humans get closer to the legendary gods, and its preciousness is self-evident. Having consumed the fruit of the Tree of Life, you no longer need to worry about ordinary Rift monsters."

Upon hearing Toppa's explanation, Seele was slightly taken aback, only then realizing the changes in her body.

Indeed, if her body was exhausted before and she was only holding on by the energy of her destiny, she is now full of energy, and her strength and explosiveness have increased several times. Opponents who used to be difficult to fight are now no match for her.

It turns out that the sweet and refreshing fruit is not only delicious, but also has so many amazing effects.

If that's the case, then the exorbitant price of five million is understandable.

Logically speaking, she should be secretly happy to have gotten such a great deal.

however--

"I was just unconscious, why did they feed me such precious fruit! Even if you sold me, I wouldn't be worth that much!"

.... ...... 0

Seele crouched on the ground, clutching her head, looking utterly devastated.

She still intends to repay the kindness, but it seems that this kindness can never be repaid.

Hearing her question, Topa also looked at Su Mo curiously, wondering why Su Mo would use such a precious fruit to save an ordinary girl.

Faced with their questions, Su Mo spoke calmly.

"This is already the worst fruit of my Tree of Life."

This is true. If it were a slightly better Tree of Life fruit, Seele would immediately transform into an apostle and become Su Mo's angelic companion.

The current situation already takes Seele's well-being into account.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Seele and Toppa remained silent.

The worst fruit costs 500 million credits... Damn rich people!

While Seele was agonizing over how to return such a precious item...

Su Mo spoke.

"If you insist on paying back, then pay with your body!"

"?"

"?"

Upon hearing this, both girls looked at Su Mo in shock.

Seele's face turned bright red, filled with shame and indignation. As a conservative young woman, if it weren't for the huge amount of money she owed, she would have already swung her sickle at him.

As expected of the villains from the upper echelons, they actually have such disgusting thoughts!

Topa, however, was both shy and hesitant. If Su Mo really had a weakness for women, then perhaps she could find a way to break through.

If that's the case, should I do it myself or not?

Just as the two were gradually making up their minds, Su Mo added a sentence.

“What are you standing there for? Toppa is busy, Seele, go and help him.”

Upon hearing this, the two girls finally realized what was happening.

Seele blinked and confirmed.

"You mean, you want me to help distribute food?"

"Yes."

Su Mo nodded.

"Your body is the foundation of your work. You shouldn't mind exchanging your work for wages, right?"

"Of course I don't mind!"

Xi'er nodded immediately, then bowed to Su Mo with great embarrassment.

"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."

Coming to her senses, she finally realized that Su Mo didn't seem to be a bad person after all.

Even though she was in debt she couldn't repay, the other party's attitude was always that she didn't have to pay it back, so this was entirely her own fault and had nothing to do with Su Mo, this good person.

"nothing."

Su Mo naturally didn't care.

"Compared to this small matter, it seems there's still a misunderstanding between us that hasn't been resolved..."

"Actually, we're not from the Upper District." (Door)

162 Killing is for the purpose of protecting life; cutting off karma is not the same as killing a person.

Despite being dressed so luxuriously, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and clearly out of place here, they claim they are not from the upper class.

If they're not from the upper zone, then they must be from the lower zone. You can't exactly call them aliens, can you?

This confusion briefly crossed Seele's mind.

However, she valued intuition more than logic and did not question him, but simply nodded.

"I believe you. I'm sorry, I misunderstood before, that's why my attitude was so bad. I hope you can forgive me!"

She lowered her head in deep shame and bowed to Su Mo and the others in apology.

If the other person wasn't from the upper echelons, then her emotions just now were definitely directed at the wrong person.

To have wrongly accused the person who saved her life was a huge mistake for her, given her strong sense of gratitude and grievances.

"Hey, why did you believe it so quickly?"

Seeing the girl's embarrassed expression, Topa became somewhat curious.

How could things have changed so quickly when there was such a deep misunderstanding before?

"It's very simple."

Seele glanced around, then at the happy smiles on the faces of the residents who had received their food, and then at Su Mo and Toppa, whose expressions were calm and whose eyes showed no sign of anything amiss. The butterfly-like girl's expression softened considerably.

"You showed no genuine disgust or disdain for the people in the lower districts. Although it may seem a bit extreme, I think it's something those gentlemen in the upper districts would never do."

Seele knew that her words were a bit too much, as they were sweeping generalizations against everyone in the upper district.

However, her experiences growing up made it difficult for her to feel any affection for those people.

Back when the upper and lower districts were not completely separated, people from the upper district did come to do charity work, but their condescending attitude and disdainful attitude towards the people from the lower district left a deep impression on her when she was young.

Therefore, just by comparing the details, she immediately understood that the two people in front of her were definitely not the kind of people who looked down on those born in the 1970s.

"I see."

Toppa nodded, gaining a further understanding of the appalling internal situation in Belleburg.

As she continued distributing the supplies, she winked and teased the girl in front of her.

"So, you almost attacked us because of your misunderstanding, but now you just want to resolve the issue with an apology?"

If apologies were enough, what would be the point of having Interstellar Peace Corporation?

In reality, Toppa was just deliberately scaring the girl so that this local would become their guide.

Unexpectedly, Seele took this issue even more seriously than she had thought.

Her face immediately turned red, and she hurriedly explained.

"No! What I mean is, if you need any help, just let me know. I'll do anything to express my apologies for what I did before!"

It has to be said that this girl is still too naive.

In just a few words, she had already incurred three almost impossible debts: five million Winter City Shields, a life-saving grace, and an apology to her benefactor for misunderstanding her.

But these three things are clearly all one thing.

Even Toppa felt a little embarrassed when he saw Seele's innocent behavior.

In this era, there are very few children this innocent in interstellar society.

However, although she thought this way, she did not express any sense of shame.

On the contrary, she even made a casual joke.

"You just said—you can do everything, right?"

There was nothing wrong with a girl saying this, but Xi'er suddenly thought of the request Su Mo had made earlier, and for a moment she misunderstood it.

"Um, if you're joking about paying with your body or something, please stop saying that... I wouldn't do that kind of thing, and besides, no one would be interested in my type, right?"

More than anger, the girl felt confused and out of place.

As a member of the Earthfire faction who often roams the lower districts like a butterfly of death in the night, maintaining order, Seele possesses both extremely high combat prowess and a prestigious position.

In addition, because of her seemingly irritable personality, almost no one in the entire lower district treated her like a girl.

So, glancing at Su Mo, who seemed even more handsome than herself, she seriously doubted whether someone with so many beautiful girls around would really be interested in her, a tomboy.

They must be deliberately trying to put me down!

"Ok?"

Why would someone doubt something when she's such a lovely girl?

Toppa was puzzled by Seele's lack of confidence.

Even by her standards, Seele was a natural beauty, cute enough even without dressing up.

If she hadn't known that he was rather honest, she would have thought the other person was in Versailles.

Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, a commotion suddenly broke out in the distance.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and found a dozen or so homeless people threatening the ordinary residents who had received food with weapons in a corner.

They dared not provoke Su Mo and his group, who were dressed in fine clothes, but they dared to provoke other weak people.

If you queue normally, you can only get one month's worth of food. But if you rob someone, you can accumulate a year's worth of food in one go.

If not now, when? This kind of risk-free, highly profitable business is not worth doing.
