Chapter 197 (1/2)
”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!”
