Chapter 187 One Billion

The bearded middle-aged man was startled.

This team had killed quite a number of beasts and most of them had been at the seventh or eighth rank.

Some ripples could be felt from some of the materials. The bearded man checked in astonishment. Those materials were from ninth rank beasts. Some scales appeared to be familiar.

“Those scales are from a beast at the intermediate rank of the ninth rank, the Scale Bone.” A middle-aged t.i.tled battle pet warrior moved closer. He, too, was surprised to see those scales.

The Scale Bones were regarded as powerful among all the ninth rank beasts. Given the size of the scale, this Scale Bone was clearly an adult and at the prime of its strength. Could this team have really killed a beast at the intermediate position of the ninth rank?

The other t.i.tled battle pet warriors were intrigued by those materials and energy crystals. They stepped over in surprise.

The bearded man was stunned by the t.i.tled battle pet warrior’s words. The former knew that it would be difficult for him to defeat a beast of such tier by himself. Clearly the deceased captain and the two masters of the team had been powerful warriors.

Another t.i.tled battle pet warrior said to Su Ping with a smile, “Could we please check your bag as well?” The man had sensed some rich energy contained in Su Ping’s bag. That energy was different from anything else, which he found interesting.

Su Ping laid down his bag and poured out the contents.

Apart from the food and other sundries, there were energy crystals, materials from the beasts, the Astral Spirit Fruit and the Soul Lantern.

The t.i.tled battle pet warriors took a look. They didn’t care about the energy crystals and the materials. Those items were valuable but they had seen enough of them. But that Astral Spirit Fruit and the Soul Lantern had caught their attention.

A t.i.tled battle pet warrior with a scratch mark on his face said, “Where have I… seen this fruit before?”

A lady with a well-developed and curvy body thought of something. She looked away from the fruit and asked Su Ping, “This fruit seems to be tasty. Can you sell it to me?”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows. He answered with a question, “What are you going to pay me with?”

“What do you want? Money? Or treasures?” The lady believed Su Ping intended to sell the fruit, which made her even happier. Su Ping smiled, “How much are you willing to pay?”

“How about one million?” the lady replied calmly.

Su Ping grinned. “I can think about it if you add three more zeroes.”

“Three zeroes?” The lady’s smile vanished. A trace of coldness went past her face. “Listen, this is just a measly fruit. I just want to have a taste. One million is a high enough number, don’t let such a good chance slip away.”

The others sneered at Su Ping, thinking that he was dying to make money. They didn’t know what fruit this was. But even a rare kind of fruit would be sold for 100 million, at most.

Su Ping wondered whether the lady was playing dumb, but he wasn’t in the mood to find out. Later on, when he placed the fruit in the scanning machine, it would compare against all the references in the database. The machine could tell what fruit it was anyways. Su Ping replied at once, “This is an Astral Spirit Fruit. I don’t know if you’ve heard about it. Anyone below the ninth rank can raise by one position after consuming the fruit!

“The fruit works best for people at the upper position of the ninth rank. They can reach the peak directly. Now, tell me… Do you think one billion is too much for this fruit?”

“An Astral Spirit Fruit?!”

“Are you serious?!”

When Su Ping mentioned the name “Astral Spirit Fruit,” the t.i.tled battle pet warriors were stunned stiff.

Trying to improve their strength was on their minds at all times. They were naturally aware of this fruit’s existence, which was in fact quite famous. But this fruit was hard to find; they couldn’t even find it in some unknown areas of the s.p.a.ce fractures.

However, this fruit right in front of them was indeed that mysterious and rare Astral Spirit Fruit!

The lady’s expression changed. She seemed to be enraged; she didn’t know that Su Ping could recognize this fruit.

“The Astral Spirit Fruit, well, well…”
