Watching Chen Fan leave without looking back, the man returned to the president's office on the second floor with a sullen expression and recounted what had happened in detail.

"Didn't you tell him that I have a deal worth hundreds of thousands of points to discuss with him?" the middle-aged man said, narrowing his eyes.

"I said so."

The man hurriedly said, "I told him immediately, but he refused without even considering it."

"President."

He glanced cautiously at the middle-aged man and said aggrievedly, "I really tried my best, but that Li Ping is really stubborn. If you don't believe me, Chairman, you can ask anyone. There were many people who saw it at the time."

The atmosphere inside the room became quiet.

The middle-aged man's face was gloomy.

After a moment, he said, "I understand, you can leave now."

"Yes, yes."

The man quickly bowed and left, making sure to close the door gently behind him.

"This Li Ping has quite the temper," Gao Jinming said coldly. "No wonder he caused such a big commotion in Shicheng."

"Should I go and teach him a lesson?" He Changshu asked from the side.

Gao Jinming frowned, then waved his hand and said:

"Forget about him, he's a weirdo."

The fact that the branch was manipulating the arena matches behind the scenes was no secret among C-level Awakened. Anyone with eyes could see what was going on in Shicheng.

It's clearly a win-win situation for everyone, but Li Ping insists on playing the innocent victim, acting as if he's the only one sober while everyone else is drunk.

If not a freak, then what is it?

This guy's appearance here this time is probably just a coincidence; he's just picking up a package and will probably leave tomorrow.

"Oh, right."

Suddenly remembering something, he asked, "Hasn't Guan Dehua come back yet?"

"no."

He Changshu shook his head.

"Not only him, but also several of the martial artists who were with him have not returned."

"That's strange."

Gao Jinming stood up from his chair, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked down at the scenery, and said, "If I remember correctly, they should have set off at dawn, right? It's already night, and they haven't returned yet?"

"Could it be that something happened?" He Changshu's face showed a solemn expression.

"Impossible, right?"

Gao Jinming subconsciously denied it.

Guan Dehua's strength was not considered strong among them.

However, he was protected by several loyal martial artists at the Meridian Refining Realm, his own special abilities were also quite unique, and he also had two or three special items on his person.

Even if we encounter real danger, escaping shouldn't be a problem.

Unless, of course, he is suddenly surrounded and intercepted by several C-level Awakened.

"I also think it's unlikely."

He Changshu nodded, his brows furrowing slightly. "But if something really happens to him, our plans three days from now might be greatly affected."

"Um."

Gao Jinming let out a muffled groan.

Three days later, the Heavenly Fruit will be ripe.

This time, the number is more than ten.

According to the association's calculation that each Celestial Fruit is worth 50,000 points, ten of them would be worth 500,000 points!

However, this fruit is not so easy to pick.

Firstly, the Celestial Tree is located deep in the wasteland, where there are many ferocious beasts, including elite-level ones. The closer one gets to the Celestial Tree, the more elite-level beasts there are. This is because the Celestial Fruit is a treasure for awakened individuals to enhance their spiritual power, and it also has a unique appeal to those powerful elite-level beasts.

Therefore, if you want to pick the fruit, you must get past the ferocious beast.

Secondly, this Heavenly Tree is not an ordinary tree. It has undergone mutation. Not only is the tree itself incredibly hard, but it can also launch attacks from underground using its roots. The speed is so fast that even a C-level Awakener could be caught off guard and fall victim.

In the years leading up to the mutation, many people and ferocious beasts were tricked and approached within a hundred meters of this Heavenly Tree. Their bodies were pierced by its roots, and their life essence became nourishment for the Heavenly Tree.

Later, both humans and beasts became cunning.

When I see these trees from a distance, I stay far away from them.

As a result, the Celestial Tree bore Celestial Fruit, attracting people and ferocious beasts.

Approaching the fruit is only the first step; picking the fruit is the hardest part, because this tree influences a person's spirit through its fruit, making it less easy for you to succeed.

This applies not only to the Heavenly God Fruit, but also to other types of fruits.

Therefore, at this time, the pickers face attacks from both ferocious beasts and the Heavenly Tree.

The latter type of attack cannot be avoided unless one chooses to give up.

The former can be attracted away by people.

Guan Dehua's role became apparent; to be precise, it was the martial artists at the Qi Refining Realm that he controlled.

They can be used as cannon fodder to attract the attacks of elite-level ferocious beasts. They can then use teleportation items to leave the moment they pick the fruit.

Therefore, if Guan Dehua gets into trouble, who will distract the elite-level ferocious beasts three days later to buy them precious time?

He had previously tried to win over Chen Fan for the same reason, but unfortunately, the latter didn't cooperate.

"How about this?"

Gao Jinming quickly came up with a plan: "If he hasn't returned by noon tomorrow, I'll go and ask Meng Xue where he went."

"That's all we can do."

He Changshu nodded.

Perhaps they are overthinking it.

……

After Chen Fan reached the shadowy spot and confirmed that no one was following him, he restored his appearance.

He stretched his limbs, recalled what happened when he left the Awakened Ones Association, and let out a cold laugh.

Trading hundreds of thousands of points?

Even if this is true, given the selfishness of those C-level Awakened in Anshan City, how much benefit will actually end up for them?

If things go wrong, you might even become their cannon fodder.

Moreover, he currently lacks experience points even more than potential points.

Back in the lounge, Chen Fan opened the package. Inside was a white box with a combination lock and an instruction manual.

Chen Fan didn't rush to open the box, but first looked at the instruction manual.

The label states that the combination lock box has a self-destruct mechanism; if the password is entered incorrectly three times, the contents will be destroyed.

In addition, the instructions also warn that if it is to be taken by someone who does not have true qi in their body, only one-eighth of the dosage should be given. If it is less, the person may not be able to absorb it, and it will be as if they did not take it at all. If it is more, the chance of something going wrong will increase exponentially.

"So, one Cloud Jade Fruit can be given to a maximum of eight people?"

Chen Fan came to this conclusion.

He entered the password from the email and opened the box.

A fist-sized yellow fruit sat quietly in the box, its shape resembling both an apple and a pear.

A faint, refreshing fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

"This is the Cloud Jade Fruit, which can enhance the internal energy of martial artists."

Chen Fan swallowed hard.

Twenty thousand points!

Even for an elite-level ferocious beast, the Martial Arts Association's purchase price is only a little over ten million, which is equivalent to one thousand points of the Awakener Association.

This fruit is equivalent to twenty ordinary elite-level ferocious beasts!

"I wonder how much it can increase true energy."

Chen Fan took out the fruit and took a bite.

Juice bursts from the fruit pulp, filling your mouth with a sweet flavor.

Chen Fan's eyes lit up; the taste of this fruit was unexpectedly good.

At that moment, he felt a change in the true energy within his meridians.

First, a few more strands appeared, then it became one strand, then several strands, then more than a dozen strands.

Chen Fan's eyes widened, revealing excitement.

With just this one bite, the true qi in my body increased by more than ten streams, more than a hundred points.

Even after deducting the extra bonus from the cultivation technique, the increased original true energy is still several dozen points.

He realized what was happening and, bite after bite, ate the entire fruit down to the pit in just a few seconds.

The internal energy within the body is also constantly increasing.

The commotion subsided almost a minute later.

[Primal True Qi increased by 56 points]

[Primal True Qi increased by 49 points]

[Primal True Qi increased by 65 points]

……

A series of messages flashed through my mind.

Chen Fan calculated that the increase in primordial true energy was close to one thousand points!

With the intention of verification, he looked at the panel.

True Qi: 4584/3056 (+50%)

Sure enough, the total amount of primordial true energy increased from 2140 points to 3056 points, approaching one thousand.

The total amount of true qi has reached 4500 points.

"I never expected that a single fruit could add so much true energy, and it's even primordial true energy. It's almost equivalent to the improvement of a meridian. Twenty thousand points is well worth the money."

Chen Fan was extremely excited.

If he still has points, he will definitely continue to buy without hesitation.

Of course, like other types of fruit, this fruit also has a marginal effect.

The first fruit has the strongest effect, but the effect of each subsequent fruit will weaken until it has no effect at all.

However, for Chen Fan right now, it's not the time to think about such issues. Even if the second fruit only has half the effect of the first, increasing his original true energy by 500 points, he would still find it acceptable.

The third and fourth coins, which were 250 and 125 points respectively, were all within his acceptable range.

Because theoretically, as long as he learns enough mental techniques, the extra bonus to his true energy will be high enough.

Even 100 points of original true energy can be turned into 1,000 true energy points!

"I should go record a video on alchemy. Once I send it via email, I'll continue training in basic martial arts."

He put the package into his spatial storage and walked outside.

Without a sparring partner, body movements are easier to practice, but fist and foot techniques improve much more slowly. However, this does not mean there are no alternatives.

During his last practice session, he discovered that when practicing martial arts under heavy loads, the improvement of basic martial arts skills would be much faster. Of course, it would not be as fast as actual combat, but it was still a good method.

More importantly, he still has two more opportunities to use the gravity training room.

With this added, the speed of improvement in basic martial arts should be much faster.
