Chapter 114: Refining Fruit
What could Zhuang Yun say? Of course he nodded.
Lu Jiu felt much more comfortable. It turned out that secrets were not so easy to keep.
Today's meal seems to be more delicious than before.
In this way, the matter of revealing the identity of the player who had taken the lead was a natural outcome. After dinner, the three of them cooperated tacitly to pack up their things and return to the city.
Although he now knew that Lu Jiu was the first player, Zhuang Yun did not ask anything else, as if everything was the same as before.
The three of them returned to the city, and based on intuition, Lu Jiu decided to ask the pharmacy manager.
The black scorpion venom sac they had obtained before was given to the pharmacy NPC, who made the venom into poison, and Lu Jiu also kept a bottle.
At this moment, many professional players are still clearing the wild outside, so the pharmacy is relatively quiet and there are no customers yet.
Before Lu Jiu entered, the pharmacy manager seemed to sense something and looked towards the door, and the next moment, the three of them stepped through the door.
"Manager, we are here again." Lu Jiu greeted him like an old friend.
The store manager still looks ethereal.
Shen Jufeng walked to the counter with long legs and took out the fruit.
The store manager, who always looked aloof and aloof, was slightly surprised. "Quenching Fruit."
Lu Jiu was surprised when he heard this. "Manager, do you know this? Is it poisonous? Can I eat it?"
The store manager examined the fruit for a moment before returning it to Lu Jiu. "The Quenching Fruit, as its name suggests, can achieve the effect of quenching. It can be used to improve the quality of potions, and it can enhance the flavor of food when used in cooking."
Sounds like a good thing.
Lu Jiu continued to ask, "How is the quenching effect?" She noticed the slightly surprised expression on the store manager's face.
The store manager lowered his eyes to glance at the Tempering Fruit. "It's not bad. I didn't expect you to find this fruit. It's not easy to collect."
"Oh? Nothing happened when I picked it." Lu Jiu clearly remembered that the fruit was picked with just a little effort.
The store manager's eyes were full of meaning. "You'll know when the time comes."
"What is it exactly? Please tell me something, beautiful store manager sister." Lu Jiu tried to act coquettishly and flatter her to get more information.
But the pharmacy manager looked cold and ignored him.
Shen Jufeng stared at the fruit, glanced at the store manager, and then said, "Okay, let's go. We won't go out to the fields today, let's go pick some fruit."
There must be a reason for what the store manager said. No matter what the reason is that the tempering fruits are difficult to pick, at least it is easy to pick them now. We must seize the opportunity.
Lu Jiu had no choice but to give up, and the three of them hurried out of the city again.
When they went out, Lin Zuo and others just came back. Two members of Qingye and his team had suffered serious blood loss today, and their potions were almost used up, so they decided to come back to replenish the potions.
Seeing Lu Jiu and others walking past him quickly like the wind, Lin Zuo stopped and looked back at the three of them.
"Captain, what's wrong?" a team member asked.
Lin Zuo just shook his head and continued to go to the pharmacy, but he always felt that Lu Jiu and the others must have made a discovery.

After leaving the city, Lu Jiu became even more grateful that it was foggy today, so that no one could see them picking the fruits from the trees, even if they made noise.
They chose a place a little distance away from the city-state, where the giant trees grew more densely.
Seeing them equipped with wings, Zhuang Yun volunteered, "You go up and gather the food, and I'll keep watch from below."
Lu Jiu smiled and said, "Don't be silly, you have to go collect it too. Now is the time to collect as much as you can while there are no other emergencies."
So far, the advice given by the NPC has been reliable and trustworthy.
Zhuang Yun was a little confused. "My wings aren't ready yet. I'll wait until they're done and then I'll join you guys in collecting them..."
The three of them had previously cleared the Mantis BOSS's nest once, and he had obtained the materials for a pair of wings.
Before he could finish his words, he received an email. When Zhuang Yun opened it, he saw a cloud inside.
He had seen this cloud before. It was equipped by some advanced players. Although it was pink, it was still a pair of wings.
"this……"
Lu Jiu didn't even look up. "I'm just borrowing it for now. There's also a gem you can put on the wings to increase your flight altitude." After saying that, she looked up at him. "It's just a loan. Don't be too stressed. Just return it to me when you're done."
Shen Jufeng had already taken out the pink cotton cloud that Lu Jiu had given him earlier and stood on it calmly. "I'll go up first. Contact me by email if you have anything."
They generally don't use private messages in conversation channels for chatting, as they worry about sending messages to the wrong channel and the announcement channel.
"Okay." Lu Jiu has already equipped himself with wings. They are not clouds, but golden wings with the tips of the wings pointing downwards, with golden flashes.
She wore these wings for no other reason than that their color was very similar to the current color of the treetops.
Soon, Zhuang Yun was the only one left under the tree. Seeing that his two teammates had already taken action, he thought about it and a cloud flew to his feet.
He tried to step on the cloud and it didn't miss. Then he stood on it, thinking about rising, and the cloud quickly rose into the air.
Zhuang Yun was a little scared and half-crouched down, but he did not stop rising. When the cloud reached the same level as the treetops, he pushed aside the branches and squeezed into the treetops.
I saw the tempering fruit hanging on the branches, forming a sharp contrast with the yellowing leaves around it.
He didn't have time to appreciate it at this moment. He moved very quickly, picked it up with one hand and immediately put it into one of the compartments of his personal backpack.
There are about a hundred fruits in a tree crown. Picking is very easy. They can change trees in less than two minutes.

In a city-state in Qiuyu City that was attacked by a strange bird, the residents are still in fear of wild monsters appearing near the city-state.
Who would have thought that these ferocious-looking birds were geese. They were of a different rank, but they were indeed geese.
After the kill, they obtained the whole goose meat and down that had been fully processed.
Although they were worried about these wild goose monsters appearing near the city-state, the rewards for killing these monsters were also what they needed.
The female archer who had reported to the city lord before now went to the field with her teammates to kill wild monsters.
The lord of this city-state is a young man. At this time, the team he leads cooperates with the team of female archers to kill wild monsters.
Having just finished killing a group of wild monsters, the female archer was able to rest for a while. She asked the city lord next to her, "Do you think this is a sign of the coming of the beast tide?"
The city lord observed the movements of the wild goose monsters. "It doesn't seem like it. If it were the vanguard of the beast tide, their main target would be us, but I see most of them hiding in the canopy of the giant tree, as if..."
He considered it for a moment and said, "It's like their target is in the tree canopy, not us at all."
"I think so too, but it's still too strange."
In fact, the female archer also had this feeling, but the wild monsters have always specifically attacked them. It is really strange that the main target of attack this time is not humans.
"Why don't we bring this up in the city's chat channel? There are still a lot of wild monsters heading south, and there will definitely be city-states affected there," she suggested.
The city lord shook his head. "Since a group of wild monsters flew in from the north, at least there must be a city-state north of our Qiuyu City that encountered them, but no one mentioned it..."
He didn't want to bring it up, feeling like if he said it out loud without anyone else telling him, he might unknowingly make the wrong decision.
