"Ring rice?" Hearing the name, Soga couldn't help looking puzzled. From the mouth of the adventurer, Soga had never heard of this specialty and didn't know where to buy it.
In doubt, Soga tried to say to the old man, "well... It's no problem to help you get loud rice, but where do you produce this kind of rice?"
Puzzled, the old man looked at Soga and said suspiciously, "it's strange that you ask. You're a businessman. Of course you should know where it is made. We only get some from tourists occasionally and only eat once. We don't know where it is made."
She shook her head with a bitter smile. Soga knew that these hunters would never leave the surrounding villages in almost their whole life. It was impossible to know where the ring rice was produced. After all... How could a hunter trapped in a mountain village know what hundreds of adventurers didn't know?
While thinking, Soga nodded categorically and said, "well, although I don't know where to buy ring rice, it doesn't matter. I'll try to find out. I just hope you can hunt more golden beavers and don't let me work in vain."
After listening to Soga's words, the old man looked serious and said seriously, "don't worry, the people depend on food. What we hunters value most is food. As long as you bring food, what we hunters don't want is the things on Warcraft."
He nodded slightly. Soga was about to leave. Suddenly he remembered something and pondered for a while. Soga said uncertainly, "by the way, old man, I heard that there is a magic fruit here, which seems to be called tough fruit. I don't know... Do you have it in your village?"
"Tough fruit?" He looked at Soga suspiciously. The old man said suspiciously, "do you want to eat tough fruit?"
"En en..." nodded definitely, and Soga hehe smiled: "you know, this fruit can enhance human defense, so..."
Before Soga finished speaking, the old man laughed and said, "tough fruit, every family has seed, you see... Isn't that the one around you?"
"Well?" Suspiciously, I looked down the old man's hand. Next to the tent, a row of low green bushes were neatly arranged. Surrounded by the bushes, a delicate and chic small tree was standing there in the wind. Looking at the distance, there are at least hundreds of such small trees within the range of sight.
These small trees are about one meter high, light blue, with fine branches and beautiful shapes. At the top of each tree, there is a light blue fruit. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
Looking at Soga's horrified expression, the old man laughed and said, "this thing has been planted in our village for hundreds of years. Both adults and children eat it from snacks. If you want to eat, you can pick it yourself, but you should pay attention that only blue fruits are mature!"
"This..." looking at the old man excitedly, Soga said eagerly: "old Sir, I don't know how much these fruits are? If... "
"Cut..." before Soga finished speaking, the old man waved his hand in disdain and said generously: "don't always be money. Although you are a businessman, you are also a friend of Qili Village. How can we collect money? You can eat it casually, but you have to pay attention that you can only eat one a week, otherwise there will be problems."
Hearing the old man's words, Soga did not hurry to pick the fruit. His eyes turned slightly and whispered to the old man“ Thank you very much, but... I don't know how many levels of tough fruits you have here? "
Hearing Soga's words, the old man looked fierce and serious. He looked around carefully. After confirming that there was no one, he whispered to Soga: "the reason why our village was built here is because it is a gathering place for tough fruits. There are some first, second and third-order fruits in the village, but there are more than four orders of tough fruits in the jungle around our village!"
He nodded excitedly, and Soga said eagerly, "old Sir, I don't know. Can you help me point out the specific location of those tough fruits above level 4?"
"Hey, hey..." smiled proudly, and the old man nodded: "no problem, as long as you get us Xiangshui rice, I'll help you point it out, and... The more rice you get us, the higher the level of tough fruit I give you! If you can get enough Xiangshui rice for the whole village for a year, I'll give you the only ten step tough fruit in the holy land of our village! "
He nodded categorically, and Soga couldn't wait to say, "old Sir, let's just say that. Don't go back. You have to keep this fruit for me for half a year at most. I'll get you a year's rice!"
"Ah!" Hearing Soga's words, the old man opened his mouth in horror and said unbelievably, "are you serious or false? I was just joking with you. Although the fruit is precious, it is not worth it... "
"Yes!" Before the old man finished speaking, Soga suddenly raised his hand and interrupted the old man's words: "old Sir, it's my business whether it's worth it or not. Just look after the holy fruit and I'll get water and rice!"
Speaking of this, Soga turned his eyes and said expectantly, "by the way, old Sir, do you know if there are any other magic fruits in your village besides tough fruits?"
He shook his head with a wry smile. The old man said helplessly, "you're asking a strange question. Don't you know? Magic fruits cannot be mixed. There can only be one magic fruit in each area! "
Clearly nodded. Soga didn't continue to ask. He ran directly to the nearby tree and picked two green tough fruits. When he was ready to put them into his mouth, the old man on one side suddenly called him.
Looking at Soga nervously, the old man said nervously, "Hello! What do you want? Didn't I say? You can only eat one at a time. If you eat two, there will be problems. You have to be a loser if you don't die! "
"Hey, hey..." with a mysterious smile, Suoga nodded and said, "I know I can only eat one. The reason why I choose two is because I have a partner who wants to eat one."
While talking, Soga waved slightly and suddenly... There was a wave in the space. The Milky figure of the diamond dragon slowly appeared in the air. The next moment... The diamond dragon shouted excitedly and rushed into Soga's arms and lingered intimately.
He picked up a tough fruit and handed it to the diamond dragon's mouth. Soga said intimately, "come on... This is delicious. Eat one quickly."
Hearing Soga's words, the diamond dragon obediently opened his mouth. At the same time, Soga handed the tough fruit the size of grapes to the diamond dragon's mouth.
"Wait a minute!" Seeing that the diamond dragon was about to eat into his mouth, the next moment... The old man said again: "I want to confirm the following. Have you ever eaten tough fruit before? If you eat it for the first time, you must eat the first-order tough fruit. If you eat it more and more, you will certainly be unable to withstand the impact of energy. Although you will not die or die, you will certainly be greatly hurt! "
Hearing the old man's words, Soga's hand trembled suddenly, and the tough fruit in his hand fell to the ground. He looked at the old man in horror, and Soga said in horror: "what's the matter? Didn't I just take the first-order tough fruit? "
"En..." nodded slightly, and the old man said positively: "what you just took is a third-order tough fruit. If you haven't eaten it before, you will lose half your life if you don't die!"
"This......" wiped the sweat on his forehead, Soga said in fear: "God, it's really dangerous. These fruits look the same. Who knows whether they are first-order or second-order. How do you distinguish them?"
Shaking his head, the old man smiled and said, "it seems that you really don't know much about our world. Let me tell you. In fact, both magic fruit and all kinds of energy can be measured by a non-level public magic. The name of this magic is the eye of the mind!"
The eye of the mind is a kind of spiritual magic without order. Because it is a practical magic, it has not been lost even after the catastrophe. Especially on the great business road, it has become a necessary magic for everyone.
Although the eye of the mind belongs to magic, in fact, it does not have to be performed by a magician. People of all professions can use it. Using the eye of the mind can judge the strength of energy.
Of course, the mind's eye is also limited. A low hand can't see through the strength of an expert with the mind's eye. If an expert sees a low hand, it's 100% uncomfortable. Although everyone knows the mind's eye, the limit of observation changes with the strength.
With the patient explanation of the old man, Soga soon understood the mystery of the eye of the mind. Through a series of special mental methods and means, she can fully explore the biological energy equivalent to her strength and weaker than herself.
According to the old man's method, Soga showed his mind's eye for the first time. Suddenly... A soul aura appeared around the old man's body. At the same time, an energy bar appeared on the right side of the old man's body.
Seeing that Soga successfully displayed his mind's eye, the old man smiled and said, "now, you should see my energy bar? Under the observation of the mind's eye, the energy bar has ten colors, from low to high, namely red, orange, yellow, green, green, blue, purple, black, white and color. The corresponding ones are masters of all colors. "
Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly and then continued: "of course... This ranking is not absolute. Many people with low defense color level have super combat power, but... Although people with low color level may not be strong, people with high color level must be cruel characters, so you should be careful in the future. Once you see people with high color level, Be careful, which means they have super physical strength and are simply non-human! "
Looking at the old man in horror, Soga found that the energy bar beside the old man was actually blue. No wonder the original residents of these great trade routes can survive here. This strong shield alone is enough to exhaust each other's energy.
While thinking, Soga turned his head and looked around at the tough fruit trees. At this moment, Soga soon understood how to distinguish. At the moment of the soul, an energy bar appeared next to each fruit, which is red, orange and yellow. According to the old man, there is no doubt that Soga should choose the red tough fruit, That means it's a first-order fruit.
While thinking, Soga looked at his body. There was also an energy bar in front of him, but... The energy bar was empty and had no color, which showed that... Soga's body had no protective ability at all. Just take a knife and you can poke it into Soga's body.
In fact, Soga himself knows that if he doesn't eat tough fruits, the strength of human body is simply weak and terrible. Even a warrior can't resist any attack. It can be said that without his body, human body has no strength, not even beast. At least, beast has tough leather.
While thinking, Soga looked at the diamond dragon. Like Soga, the energy bar of the diamond dragon is empty and there is no protective energy at all. Although the diamond dragon is famous for defense, now the diamond dragon can only rely on ten heavy ice armor to defend. Once the ice armor is broken, the diamond dragon is similar to a sheep.
While thinking, Soga threw the red and tough fruit in his hand into the diamond dragon's mouth and felt what was in his mouth. The diamond dragon narrowed his eyes happily and swallowed the whole tough fruit after a while of chewing.
Under Soga's observation, a red mist quickly filled the energy bar next to the diamond dragon. At the same time, a red line appeared at the bottom of the energy bar!
The old man looked at the diamond dragon with interest and said with admiration: "you are a good little pet. Your absorption capacity is very fast. You should pay attention to that only when the energy bar is full of red can you eat the next level of tough fruit, otherwise there will be problems."
Nodded gratefully. Soga threw another tough fruit in his hand into his mouth. In an instant, a sweet juice quickly slid down Soga's throat, and a very comfortable feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
Look at yourself with your side eyes. In the energy bar displayed by the eye of the soul, a burst of turbulent red fog surged up, and its severity was more exaggerated than that of the diamond dragon.
"Oh!" The old man exclaimed, "God, you look thin and weak, but unexpectedly, your physical strength is so strong!"
Sighed and shook his head. The old man continued: "originally, I thought you should be a thief or mage, but now I understand that you must be a warrior. No one can have such a long physical strength except a warrior. It's amazing."
"What? Wait, wait... "After listening to the old man's words, Soga suddenly interrupted the other party and said uncertainly," what did you just say? You say I'm a warrior? How is this possible... "
"Hey, hey..." patted Soga on the shoulder. The old man smiled and said, "don't pretend. You can't pretend in front of me. At your age, you have such high physical strength. Even among warriors, you're rare to see in a hundred years. Can you still be a mage with such a strong physique?"
"This..." after listening to the old man's words, Soga couldn't help closing his mouth. He knew that the reason why he had such a strong physique was actually because he ate a lot of physical medicine during magic medicine, but it had nothing to do with the strength of his body. In fact, his physical strength was not too high.
While thinking, the old man continued: "although everyone can only eat one tough fruit a week, everyone's energy absorption rate of tough fruit is completely different. The stronger the physical strength, the faster and more they absorb, and the higher they can reach."
While talking, the old man thought for a moment, and then continued: "as far as you are concerned, you can reach the red level full level by eating almost four tough fruits, but your diamond dragon has to eat six. You know... You two are already gifted people!"
"This..." looking at the old man hesitantly, Soga asked uncertainly, "how many tough fruits do normal people usually have to eat to reach red level full?"
After pondering for a while, the old man frowned and said, "this is not necessarily. Generally speaking, if you can reach the red level full by eating ten, you already belong to the strong. Some people need to eat hundreds of them to barely reach the red level full. Although they eat one every week, some people eat several to increase a trace of energy, and you can increase one quarter by eating one!"
Looking at the old man in horror, Soga couldn't believe that there would be such a good thing. In particular, he was surprised to hear that someone had to eat more than 100 to reach the red level. If he ate one a week, wouldn't it take more than two years to reach it?
After thinking about it, Soga calculated that according to the old man's process, he can reach the red level in only one month, and the diamond dragon only takes one and a half months. Is this a bit exaggerated? It's too bad, you know... He's an authentic ice mage, not a warrior.
While thinking, Soga looked up at the old man and said, "if so, does it mean that every time I eat four tough fruits, I can improve an energy level!"
He nodded categorically, and the old man said happily: "in fact, the speed of improvement is directly related to the talent of absorption. No matter what energy level, you can reach the full level by eating only four fruits!"
Looking at the old man in horror, Soga said incredulously, "in this way, I can reach the dream color level in only ten months! That's unlikely! " This novel has been translated by www.novelhall.com and if you are reading this somewhere, they have stolen our translation.
