The Star River Era! The Dimensional Freedom Demon

Ji Chen chewed two bites of the spiritual fruit.

The moment your teeth touch the fruit, a sweet and refreshing sensation explodes on your tongue.

With a "plop," the fragrant juice splashed out, but most of it was swallowed down with the fruit pulp in Ji Chen's mouth.

After taking one bite, Ji Chen couldn't help but take another, and soon only the pit remained of the entire spiritual fruit.

Ji Chen savored the mellow taste of the herbal essence between his lips and teeth, still wanting more.

He felt that he had never tasted anything so delicious in his past life or this one.

The so-called "Liao-Han Imperial Feast," the so-called modern grand feast, are utterly inadequate compared to this fruit.

Even ignoring its delicious taste and focusing solely on its nutritional value, the Qi and Blood Medicinal Herbs of the Qi and Blood Martial Arts World are no match for this fruit.

"No, I have to find out where to buy it. I'm addicted."

Ji Chen took out his phone and searched carefully, finally finding information about the fruit in a special section.

Qingling Fruit, produced by Qingyun Jiahe Food Technology Co., Ltd., costs 4500 Star Dollars for a standard-sized Qingling Fruit.

Effects: Delicious taste, enhances the accumulation of spiritual energy for cultivators, and can also benefit cultivators of other superpower systems.

(Friendly reminder: Please do not plant the spiritual fruits produced by our company indiscriminately. The fruit kernels have undergone gene termination treatment. Forcibly cultivating the fruit will only waste spiritual energy.)

Red Spirit Fruit, ... 5300 each, effects...

Lapis lazuli fruit, ... 12000 each, effects...

There were hundreds of different kinds of spiritual fruits with varying effects.

Among them were many valuable items that Ji Chen would have wanted to snatch away.

The value ranges from several thousand to tens of millions of star coins per coin.

There are even more expensive spiritual fruits, but Ji Chen couldn't see their detailed information.

There are probably more than just this one company that deals in spiritual fruits related to cultivation; there are probably seven or eight companies in total.

Moreover, each of them has a powerful background. Star-level enterprises are considered small, and some are even headquartered in other star realms. They are all true global giants with influence throughout the Federation.

Besides the companies in the cultivation-themed category, Ji Chen also saw other food companies in this sector with superpowers.

Not to mention elixirs, herbs, divine medicines, and immortal medicines, there are also various kinds of jerky from supernatural beasts.

You never know until you see it, and what you find is truly astonishing. Ji Chen's eyes have been opened.

"The wealthy people in the Federation really know how to enjoy life. With money, what kind of ingredients can't they get?"

Ji Chen underestimated the super food industry.

What's a little bit of raw material?

The real luxury items are still some top-tier superpowered restaurants, which employ chefs who specialize in superpowered cuisine, and a single superpowered dish can sell for an astronomical price.

But there's a reason why it's expensive. In the Federation, there are many examples of people who have broken through a level of spiritual stagnation by eating these dishes.

But even disregarding the impact on their abilities, these gourmets still have their place in the world.

They even formed a culinary association with far-reaching influence in the Federation.

Federal citizens have long lifespans, and powerful superhumans live even longer, with a thousand years being the minimum.

Such a long lifespan can easily lead people astray, and even cause them to lose their emotions.

Once emotions fade, will those top superhumans still see themselves as human beings, and will they still see ordinary citizens as their own kind?

Once there are no "people" at the top, and the top superhumans no longer treat the lower-level people as their own, the Human Federation will naturally lose its reason for existence.

Therefore, games, food, and many other entertainment facilities are essential in the Federation.

Maintain a human touch at the top and keep emotional connections alive.

……

Ji Chen didn't think that much about it.

He only had one thing on his mind.

"I can't plant it, I feel like I've lost a billion dollars."

Ji Chen, who had planned to take the fruit pit to Wuliangtian to plant, was completely disappointed by the helpful reminder.

"Large-scale farming... a single spirit fruit can fetch thousands or even tens of thousands of yuan. If I just plant one large greenhouse..."

It can only be said that the federal government has many ways to make money, but there are even more people on each path.

Ji Chen was temporarily dissuaded from planting spirit fruits by this gentle reminder, but the business empires of these global giants also served as a wake-up call for him.

We should make good use of the Boundless Heaven as soon as possible.

Despite thinking this way, Ji Chen had no intention of taking action right now.

What a joke! You can buy such a high-quality spiritual fruit for just a few thousand dollars, with excellent taste and effects.

There is definitely a huge amount of technical accumulation involved. Ji Chen was penniless, with no experience, no technology, and no funds. What could he possibly use to compete with them?

Funding is a separate issue, but as the leader of a school of thought, Ji Chen could easily obtain tens or hundreds of billions.

After thinking it over, Ji Chen felt it was time to withdraw his funds, so he placed an order for 10 spirit fruits.

They only choose the ones with good flavor.

Money talks, and people get to enjoy things first.

He's holding back now, but once he's truly certain he has a 10-figure balance, eating one thing and throwing another away will be a piece of cake.

And they only eat the sweetest piece.

Ji Chen hadn't even put his phone down when he thought of two more people.

Luo Mingwu and Shen Yihang.

The former, Lao Luo, can be considered his benefactor.

But while he was a benefactor, Ji Chen didn't hold grudges. However, after being slapped on the forehead several times, he disagreed, saying that even close brothers should keep clear accounts and that debts should be repaid.

The forehead has its own thoughts.

Even the usually magnanimous Ji Chen couldn't resist his stubbornness and could only hesitantly send a message:

"Old Luo, I'll show you something good in the martial arts training room tomorrow."

Luo quickly replied to a few messages, asking what good stuff it was, and then congratulated him on being valued by the dean, his breakthrough in cultivation, and that he no longer needed to live in fear.

Ji Chen only said it was a surprise for him, a good thing.

They then changed positions.

Call your advisor, Shen Yihang, directly by phone.

"Hey, Lao Shen, yes, it's me, Ji Chen."

"What do you want? Nothing, it's just that the students haven't used up their training hours this month, right? Maybe it's the time the instructor spends guiding the students in their cultivation?"

"That's right, I'm here to ask for your guidance. What? You're saying I'm out of my mind? Old Shen, you can come anytime. See you tomorrow."

Beep beep—

After hanging up the phone, Ji Chen's expression hardened.

Damn it, if I don't beat your brains out tomorrow, I'm not surnamed Ji!

If you can walk out upright tomorrow, then you are this (thumbs up).

If you're still able to move tomorrow, then I'll be this (thumbs up ↓).

If it weren't for the fear of future repercussions from the federal government, Ji Chen would dare to make this day next year Shen Yihang's death anniversary.

Knock knock—

Just as Ji Chen was imagining how he would beat Lao Luo to a pulp and make Shen Yihang cry for his parents tomorrow, a careful knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

Els, standing outside the door, took a deep breath, feeling as if the dormitory door in front of him was an invisible, gaping maw, about to swallow him whole.

But after thinking about Ji Chen's imposing presence, he still stepped inside with trepidation.

Inside the room, Ji Chen lay on the bed without any regard for his image, legs crossed, constantly placing orders on his phone.

On the large square table in the middle of the bedroom, there were many generous gifts from the students in the same dormitory building.

There were so many that they couldn't all be displayed and had to be piled up in a wide open space.

Els suddenly felt at peace.

It seems he's not the only one who's losing money to avoid trouble.

Snapped!

"What are you looking at, you bastard? Hand over the super-powered particles I told you to get quickly last time!"

Els felt a jolt of fear; the stinging pain on his face paled in comparison to the grievances he felt at that moment.

He felt resentful.

Even someone of his rank hasn't been known to come here every day to get a beating from a big shot.
