Chapter 148 The Transaction: [Changchun Fruit], a Natural-type Sacred Relic

As she spoke, Meng Hongzhuang raised her chin, pointed to the students in the cabin who all looked exhausted, some of them with bandages on their bodies, and sighed, saying, "Look at everyone, how tired they are!"

I was only able to catch my breath a few times because of the help of my animal companions, who were chasing me from the underground monsters.

Everyone else is on their own, and they have to be ready to run away at the slightest sign of trouble.

I haven't had a full night's sleep in three days!

She turned her head to look at Fangzhou, pointed to the bandage on her short leg, and said with lingering fear, "Look, this leg was bitten by a wolf, and this leg was stung by a vicious mosquito. It hurt so much back then!"

If I hadn't wanted to prove you wrong, I almost wouldn't have been able to hold on.

These three days have been absolutely grueling!

Fangzhou couldn't empathize with her at all, so he remained silent and quietly handed Meng Hongzhuang a delicious military-grade canned food.

The little girl with gray hair and pigtails, Ah-ming Ah-ming, finally stopped eating her canned food.

While Fang Zhou was talking to Meng Hongzhuang, the surrounding students' gazes never left him.

Their whispers and the occasional look of awe seemed to be a silent acknowledgment of the Ark's strength and achievements.

Fangzhou felt this complex gaze, yet his heart remained unusually calm.

For him, winning the number one seed is just the first step to becoming stronger.

As the magic airship restarted, a slight vibration was transmitted through the seat to the whole body.

Ark looked around; huge portholes were embedded on both sides of the airship.

Although the sky outside the window was just a gray expanse, the spectacular scenery that flew by was enough to make one yearn for it.

As the airship slowly ascended, Fangzhou closed his eyes and began to plan his next move.

After exchanging his spoils for contribution points, he wanted to seek advice from instructors Su Xinyan and Lu Hu.

After three days of hunting in the underground caves, he had too many questions in his mind that needed to be answered.

What role does the world's attention play?

How do I upgrade World Runes?

Are there any other ways to obtain Heroic Spirit Marks?

How should this strange object, the Sealed Bone Bell, be repaired?

In the blink of an eye, Instructor Wang Tao's voice came from the airship's passenger cabin.

"Dear students, the airship is about to move at full speed and will take about two hours to reach the underground fortress."

After three days of hunting, you must all be exhausted.

We will ensure flight safety, so you can rest assured in the cabin.

Just then, Meng Hongzhuang, who was standing to the side, finished eating the canned food in her hand and regained some of her energy.

She nudged Fangzhou's arm and asked impatiently, "Fangzhou, I saw on the personal terminal that everyone is discussing how you discovered the site of General Ning Feihu's sacrifice and retrieved his battle flag."

"May I have the honor of seeing General Ning's battle banner, 'To Die with the Demons'?"

Fangzhou nodded and took out the tattered battle flag stained with blood.

Meng Hongzhuang solemnly accepted it and then slowly opened it.

A surge of fighting spirit instantly infected all the trainees in the cabin.

The slightly dejected atmosphere caused by excessive fatigue was completely washed away by this force.

The trainees stared intently at the battle flag in Meng Hongzhuang's hand, their eyes filled with reverence.

After gazing at it for a long time, Meng Hongzhuang returned the [Heroic Spirit Battle Banner] to Fangzhou and couldn't help but sigh, "The fact that General Ning's relics can see the light of day again is truly inspiring to so many people."

Ark, you did a great job!

I believe that with this battle flag in your hands, it will surely forge new glories.

After Fangzhou put away the battle flag, Meng Hongzhuang's expression returned to its usual mischievousness.

She asked with some curiosity, "Fangzhou, I just saw that you had captured more than a dozen bags of spoils."

Is there anything good inside?

Fang Zhou thought for a moment, then opened his personal terminal and sent Meng Hongzhuang a picture. He said, "Most of them are ordinary monster materials, but there were some pretty good finds as well."

Look, what's this?

"Changchun fruit!"

Meng Hongzhuang covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, her delicate face filled with drooling.

She grabbed Fang Zhou's arm, her eyes revealing a mixture of flattery and longing.

"Boss! Boss Fang!"

Since I'm your research assistant, sell me a periwinkle.

Only when I am more capable can I better serve you.

Fang Zhou extended a finger, slowly but firmly pushing Meng Hongzhuang away, and smiled slightly, saying, "You wish!"

Although Xiao Chan is a salted fish, Hao Sui still provided me with several skill materials for [Bone Shield].

"You still haven't figured out the skill logic for strengthening skeletons, and you still have the nerve to ask me for Everlasting Fruit?"

Meng Hongzhuang put on a pitiful look and said ingratiatingly, "Fang Zhou, the Evergreen Fruit is really important to us Natural Science Apprentices."

Although the price wasn't too high to accommodate us new recruits, the military academy's resource pool was always in short supply.

"If you'd sell me one, I'd do anything!"

Fang Zhou chuckled and coldly observed Meng Hongzhuang's performance.

For someone like him, who is not a naturalist, the periwinkle is merely a delicious fruit to replenish physical and mental energy, with very limited effects.

However, for a nature-based profession like Meng Hongzhuang, it is a rare and precious treasure that can solidify her foundation and help her break through to the Black Iron rank, making it exceptionally valuable.

Fangzhou harvested four Evergreen Fruits in the thorny thicket; selling one to Meng Hongzhuang wouldn't be a bad idea.

However, she must offer something of sufficient value in exchange!

Do you think you can get something for nothing by just saying a few nice words?

Ark doesn't fall for that cutesy act!

Seeing that Fang Zhou remained unmoved, Meng Hongzhuang gritted her teeth and took out an ugly candle from her bag.

She looked at the ark pitifully and said, "These are slime candles I found in the nest of a small group of cave monsters when I was exterminating them."

The aroma released when lit can be invigorating and refreshing.

For us legal professionals, it can also slightly increase the speed of mental energy recovery.

Although it cannot compare to mental energy recovery potions, its advantage lies in the fact that its effects do not conflict with those of potions and can be stacked.

This huge candle, if used for an hour each day, will last at least a month.

If exchanged for military academy points, it would be worth at least 20 contribution points.

Moreover, this kind of resource cannot be mass-produced, and military academies have very little stock; you can't buy it even if you wanted to.

Meng Hongzhuang handed the lumps of oil candle, which emitted a strange fragrance, to Fang Zhou, and asked expectantly, "Besides..."

I'll add another 30 contribution points as a premium.

"So, Mr. Fang, are you satisfied with these terms?"

Fangzhou opened his personal terminal and checked the instructions for the slime candle.

Indeed, as Meng Hongzhuang said, this resource has a good effect on restoring mental strength.

After a moment's thought, he realized that with this oil candle, he would have another way to restore his mental energy for the next month, which would naturally speed up the process of improving his skill proficiency.

This deal was profitable for him, so it was acceptable.
