DipNovel Chapter 74 Withered Sapling? This is a fucking divine object!
Chapter 74 Withered Sapling? This is a fucking divine object!
Seeing this, Lin Hu and Qin Yue merely glanced at it indifferently before preparing to walk around it.
They've grown tired of this daily farce.
Lu Sheng didn't want to meddle in other people's business; he came here only for the seeds.
However, just as his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of that withered sapling!
Om-!
His dragon eyes activated on their own, uncontrollably!
An unprecedented, intense desire to explore, originating from the depths of his soul, suddenly surged to the top of his head!
Lu Sheng stopped in his tracks instantly.
A thought struck him, and he focused his gaze intently on the seemingly ordinary withered sapling!
A golden panel, more dazzling and magnificent than ever before, suddenly unfolded above the old man's head!
Each character above seems to be cast from pure gold, carrying an unparalleled divine charm that suppresses all ages and looks down upon all living beings!
[Target: Divine-level Spiritual Plant - Enlightenment Tree (Seedling Stage)]
[Status: Near death (spiritual energy depleted, activity less than 1%)]
[Special Ability: Enlightenment Fruit (After consuming the fruit, your Sequence Talent will advance by one level. Each person can only consume it once!)]
What the hell!
Even with Lu Shengxin's heart as firm as iron, he cursed inwardly at this moment!
His breath stopped completely in that instant!
Sequence Talent... Advance one level!
What does this mean?
This means that Zhou Hai's Earth-level sequence [Flame Burst] can become Heaven-level!
This means that Zhao Ze's Earth-level sequence [Immortal Golden Body] can be upgraded to Heaven-level!
This means that Su Li's Heavenly Rank could leap to the same level as Chen Yan's... Saint Rank!
This is no longer a treasure!
This is a divine object that defies fate!
Earth-level to Heaven-level! Heaven-level to Saint-level!
What can one achieve at the god level?
Surpassing godhood?
This seemingly dead sapling is valuable enough to drive the entire Jinling Fleet, no, enough to drive the top experts of the entire Dragon Kingdom crazy!
Endless turmoil surged within Lu Sheng's heart, but his face remained calm and composed.
He forcefully suppressed the overwhelming joy that was about to burst from his chest, and his eyes instantly became incredibly sharp.
"stop!"
Just as a guard grew impatient and was about to push the old man aside, Lu Sheng's icy voice, like an icicle in the dead of winter, suddenly rang out.
The two guards paused, instinctively looking in the direction of the sound.
They saw the two cold figures behind Lu Sheng, dressed in special operations uniforms and bearing the rank of major, and their imposing aura instantly weakened.
"Sir..."
Qin Yue frowned, not understanding why Lu Sheng would stand up for a madman.
"Mr. Lu, there are people like this at the camp every day, you don't need to pay them any mind," she said coolly.
Lin Hu also looked puzzled and said in a muffled voice, "Yeah, he's just an old lunatic trying to scam people out of food and drink. Don't waste your time."
Lu Sheng ignored them.
He walked step by step to the emaciated old man. The invisible but powerful aura he exuded caused the surrounding survivors, whose eyes were numb, to subconsciously take a few steps back.
He crouched down, his voice surprisingly gentle.
"Grandpa, what kind of sapling do you want to replace?"
The old man trembled with fear at the two menacing figures behind Lu Sheng, but when he thought of his starving grandson in the tent, he mustered all his courage and, trembling, extended a withered finger.
"One...one bag of compressed biscuits...one bottle of water...that's enough..."
His cloudy eyes were filled with pleading and despair.
He didn't crave more supplies; he only wanted to save his grandson's life.
Upon hearing this offer, the surrounding survivors let out a low snicker.
"Insane! Absolutely insane! Trading a broken twig for a bag of cookies?"
"Exactly, if it were me, I'd be lucky to give him two slaps."
Qin Yue and Lin Hu shook their heads helplessly, increasingly feeling that Lu Sheng was meddling in other people's business.
However, Lu Sheng's next move almost made everyone's eyes pop out of their sockets.
He slowly stood up, looked at the old man, and calmly said, "A bag of biscuits and a bottle of water are too little."
That's all.
Amidst the shocked, horrified, and ghost-like gazes of everyone around, including Qin Yue and Lin Hu.
He simply waved his hand casually towards the open space in front of him.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Two dull thuds sounded as the plane landed.
A whole box of twenty-four tubs of braised beef noodles, perfectly packaged and emitting an enticing aroma!
A whole case, twenty-four bottles of brand-new, clear and pure mineral water!
They just appeared out of thin air and were neatly stacked on the ground!
"hiss--!!!"
Gasps of astonishment echoed across the dock!
The survivors around them stared at the two boxes of supplies, which were worth as much as gold in the apocalypse, and their eyes instantly turned bloodshot!
Greed! Madness! Jealousy! Disbelief!
Countless emotions intertwined on their faces, twisting their numb expressions into something grotesque and ferocious!
The old man was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the two boxes of supplies that had appeared out of thin air on the ground, then looked at the young man in front of him who seemed like a god. His legs went weak, and with a "thump," he knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down his face, and he became incoherent.
"Gods...gods...enough...too many, that's enough!"
Lu Sheng didn't help him up, but simply said, "Take your things and go find your grandson. It's not safe here."
As he spoke, he reached out to take the sapling of the Enlightenment Tree.
But just then, an old hand gripped the tree trunk tightly.
The old man raised his head, and a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed across his tear-streaked face.
Upon seeing this, Qin Yue and Lin Hu's expressions instantly darkened.
Insatiable greed!
Human greed is insatiable; like a snake trying to swallow an elephant!
Lu Sheng frowned slightly; he hated trouble the most.
The old man seemed to sense the change in atmosphere. He shuddered in fright and quickly released his grip, but in an almost pleading tone, he urgently explained, "My lord! Don't misunderstand, it's just... it's just that this sacred tree... it can't leave the soil! If it leaves the soil, it will immediately... it will die!"
Lu Sheng was taken aback.
He then noticed that the sapling had been carried out along with a large clump of soil.
No wonder!
No wonder the activity level dropped so quickly!
In a little while, even a god couldn't save him!
Lu Sheng no longer hesitated. He looked at the old man and spoke again, "Thank you for reminding me."
After saying that, he didn't care about the old man's reaction and waved his hand again at the pile of supplies on the ground.
A small box of pure white rice reappeared out of nowhere.
The dock was deathly silent.
Everyone held their breath.
If I was shocked before, now I am completely numb and terrified!
This is no magic trick, this is a miracle!
The old man was completely stunned. He opened his mouth but couldn't say a word. He just kept kowtowing to Lu Sheng.
