Chapter 82: The Stinky Kiwi Fruit
"Let's pick a kiwi fruit that we haven't eaten before!"
Gervis thought for a long time before making this decision.
After all, the golden fruit had only been used recently, and his body had also been transformed, so it was enough for him to develop for a long time. He felt that there was no need to exchange for the golden kiwi fruit before reaching the high bronze level.
"Then the next step is to choose one of these three kiwi fruits."
In addition to the golden fruit, there are three kiwi fruits of different colors on the panel, namely green, purple and blue.
"Well, green doesn't taste good at all, so I won't choose the green ones for now."
The green fruit looks a bit like apples, but green apples are not considered delicious in Gervis's eyes, so they are removed first.
"The blue one is a little weird, maybe it has some miraculous effect. The purple one is not bad either, purple symbolizes wealth."
Gervis's eyes fell on the last two kiwi icons, especially the purple kiwi. As a Chinese, he had heard the words "Purple Air Coming from the East" the most.
Although the golden fruit gave him a genius talent for cultivation, if he wanted to advance, he had to take steady steps and rely on continuous cultivation like everyone else to improve his cultivation over time. Cultivation is a very hard thing, and Gervis has a deep understanding of this, so he imagined that the kiwi fruit could make him eat the meat of a monster, and eating one would greatly increase his cultivation and break through the realm.
"It's decided, it's you, the purple kiwi!"
"Please protect me, Boss Rongguang!"
The decision had been made, Gervis no longer delayed, took a deep breath, and as soon as his mind moved, a purple 'big fruit' appeared in his hand in an instant.
The fruit is purple all over, with a smooth and translucent appearance, shaped like a large grapefruit on Earth, and looks great.
"Oh my god, it stinks! How can I eat this?"
But looking at the large kiwi fruit in his hand, Gervis quickly used one hand to cover his nose. His head was a little confused and he couldn't be happy no matter what.
"Boss Rongguang, are you on holiday today?"
Although the kiwi fruit in his hand looked great, it smelled extremely bad. Gervis could no longer describe what the smell was. It just made people lose all desire to eat it. This was completely the opposite of the aroma of the golden fruit, which made people salivate.
Holding the purple kiwi in his hand, Gervis felt extremely regretful. The smell of such a bad-smelling fruit made him feel sick, so how could he possibly eat it? Besides, this was something out of the ordinary, and he didn't know if this purple kiwi was poisonous.
"I'm really out of my mind. Why did I choose purple? Isn't the color purple the same as when someone is poisoned?"
Gervis slapped his head, feeling like crying but unable to cry, and secretly cursed himself for not thinking things through.
The golden fruit at least has a fragrant aroma that reminds people of the magical fruit in mythology, but the purple fruit in front of you looks like a poison that can penetrate the intestines.
"I feel like I'm suffocating, what should I do?"
Gervis felt like he was about to be choked by the stench of the purple fruit, and subconsciously thought about where to hide the purple kiwi fruit.
Unexpectedly, just as this thought came to his mind, he felt his hands were empty, and the strange fruit disappeared silently. Yes, it disappeared in an instant, just like a movie.
"Huh? Where's my fruit?"
Gervis cried out in surprise, his eyes widened, and he put down the hand that was covering his nose. He touched his empty hand and finally confirmed that the purple kiwi fruit had indeed disappeared out of thin air.
“Is it the system?”
Gervis felt that only an equally strange system could do such a strange thing. He did not dare to delay and quickly opened the panel and looked towards the mall. He saw that three of the kiwi icons in the mall were dimmed and only one icon was lit, with the word X1 marked on it. It was the purple kiwi that disappeared from his hand.
"Can this panel also store kiwi fruit?"
Gervis suddenly became excited, not caring that the whole bathroom was already stinking. With a thought, the purple fruit returned to Gervis's hand. Immediately, the unpleasant smell came to his nose again. Then, with another thought, the fruit disappeared from his hand again and returned to the panel.
"Haha, the benefits for time travelers are really amazing, but I don't know if they can earn other things."
Gervis immediately picked up the note from his side, ready to try whether the panel could store other things besides kiwis.
"I'll take it, I'll take it, take it for me!"
Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, but reality is often cruel. The paper still placed safely in his hand told Gervis that his idea was wishful thinking.
"Alas, although I have discovered a new use for the panel, it can only store things that were originally obtained from the panel. This is completely useless. What should I do with my 10 energy points?"
After discovering the limitations of the surface, Gervis's excitement subsided. This function was useless to him. He had invested 10 hard-earned energy points tonight, only to get a stinky purple kiwi fruit. He didn't even know if it was poisonous. He felt that he had suffered a huge loss this time.
"Fortunately, this purple kiwi fruit is big enough. I'll try it on a small animal someday. Maybe good medicine tastes bitter, and the magic fruit smells bad."
After rubbing his body twice, Gervis no longer had the mood to continue taking a bath. Besides, the room was stinking. He felt that if he stayed there for a while longer, he might stink himself up.
Gervis walked out of the bathroom and sniffed himself hard. Fortunately, the unpleasant smell was only in the air and did not stink him up. So Gervis returned to the bedroom, lay on his back on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep. He had been running around all night and was exhausted.
However, Gervis didn't know that just after he left the bathroom, a bird suddenly landed on the skylight in the bathroom.
The bird perched on the windowsill, looking into the bathroom and sniffing something excitedly!
And this flying bird was just the beginning. Later, many birds from all around the castle flew into the sky in the middle of the night and gathered towards the castle.
And their target is always the bathroom, as if there is some fatal temptation here that makes them unable to stop!
In fact, there is more than that. The unpleasant smell floats in the wind, and even some creatures with sensitive sense of smell in the dark forest become slightly restless!
…
While Gervis was snoring, the Black Rock Castle under Viscount Lanny was brightly lit. The castle gate, which was supposed to be closed after dark, was completely open, and soldiers on horseback kept galloping through the wide doorway, some entering the castle and some leaving. The only thing in common was that these people were all moving very fast and in a hurry.
"Tabby, has the convoy returned?"
In the magnificent hall, Lanny was a little restless, holding the exquisite porcelain cup tightly in his hands, but he did not drink the juice in the cup. Instead, he looked at his butler with a stern look.
"Sir, the convoy has not returned yet. Perhaps it was the heavy rain that delayed their return journey."
Although it was summer, it was not hot late at night, and there had just been a heavy rain. The night wind made one feel chilly. However, Tabby, who was bending over, had a lot of cold sweat on his forehead. He answered Lanny's questions carefully and did not dare to look up and make Lanny's face.
"The scout team has been sent out. Every ten kilometers someone will come back to report the situation!"
"I hope so. Go out and wait. If you have any news, report to me immediately."
