Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 178 - 149: Containing the Expansion of the Restricted Zone_1

"Parrot Messenger, are your Spirit Fruits for sale?" Bai Yinghui, looking at the Mutated Parrot with burning eyes, asked.

At this time, he finally understood why these Mutated Beings were breaking through so quickly; it turned out there were treasures like Spirit Fruits.

"What price are you willing to offer?" Ye Feng asked.

Since he had brought this item out, he naturally wanted to sell it, so that he could strengthen his own power as quickly as possible. At the same time, binding interests would also make the alliance more solid.

As for the possibility of the other party getting greedy and trying to snatch it by force, Ye Feng had also considered this.

But Ye Feng didn’t think it was likely.

Moreover, as his own strength had broken through to the Fifth Order, his tree roots were no longer afraid of firearms.

And the Faith Skill, Ability to Control Heaven and Earth, could help him fend off missiles. Now, he felt confident in dealing with any trouble.

Seeing that the Mutated Parrot actually seemed to have intentions of selling, Bai Yinghui’s face lit up with joy, but he quickly reined it in.

He feigned deep contemplation and said, "We do have drugs that rapidly enhance the abilities of Superhumans, with a market value of about 100,000 Huaxia Currency each. Of course, your Spirit Fruits are more effective, and I’m willing to pay 500,000 Huaxia Currency per piece. What do you think about that?"

"Not interested, don’t talk about money to me, I don’t need it for now. Just tell me directly how many Mutated Beings you can get me," said the Mutated Parrot bluntly.

"The market price for Mutated Animals is quite high right now, ranging from 50,000 to 500,000 each. Of course, as allies, I will give you the lowest price and then give you a 50% discount, 25,000 Huaxia Currency per creature."

"So, you’re saying that for one Spirit Fruit, I would exchange 20 Mutated Beings with you. How does that sound?" Bai Yinghui said with a face that suggested he was making a loss.

Ye Feng nearly burst out laughing from frustration, "That’s enough, you don’t have any sincerity. Let’s put this matter on hold for now."

"When you’ve delivered the 1,000 Mutated Animals you owe me, then it’s not too late to talk about this deal."

"Besides, one Spirit Fruit can help break through more than just one Minor Boundary. If you’re lucky, you might even break through two consecutive boundaries."

"So you should go back and discuss a sincere price with your people before coming to talk business with me," the Mutated Parrot said unapologetically.

The fruit he offered was a First Order Spirit Fruit containing 100 points of Spiritual Energy.

If it were smaller Mutated Animals, one Spirit Fruit might well be enough for three Minor Boundary breakthroughs.

Of course, humans definitely belonged to the category of larger creatures, needing considerable Spiritual Energy for each Minor Boundary breakthrough.

Take Chen Dalong for instance; he needed a full 60 points of Spiritual Energy to break through a Minor Boundary. Although there might be some variations in talent among people, it probably wasn’t significant.

Therefore, humans would need about 120 points of Spiritual Energy to advance through two Minor Boundaries, which is why he said one Spirit Fruit could roughly enable two Minor Boundary advancements.

Bai Yinghui and the others were once again stunned by the words of the Mutated Parrot.

A Spirit Fruit could enhance two boundaries?

In that moment, Wang Feng’s and Pei Jin’s breathing grew heavy, especially Pei Jin, who felt an unparalleled sense of heartache.

A whole two boundaries! How long would it take him to cultivate that on his own? A month? Two?

If it were normal times that would be one thing, but now, with the resurgence of Spiritual Energy, each day was more dangerous than the last, and one or two months could be fatal.

Bai Yinghui, however, became calmer at this point and asked the Mutated Parrot, "Alright, then we’ll talk more later. But may I ask, how many of such Spirit Fruits are you willing to sell? Can you supply them steadily?"

"The Dragon Lord is still in a period of recovering his strength, and besides, there isn’t much Spiritual Energy in Heaven and Earth right now, so the number of Spirit Fruits we can produce each day is limited. We can sell at most one to you per day," Ye Feng replied without hesitation.

He knew the price of an item not only depended on its value but also on its rarity.

He believed that even by selling only one Spirit Fruit a day, he wouldn’t earn much less.

As for Bai Yinghui on the other side, hearing that the other party was willing to sell a Spirit Fruit every day, he had to exercise great restraint not to burst into laughter.

He was furiously doing the math in his head.

"If one Spirit Fruit could help a Superhuman advance through two Minor Boundaries, then in two days, we could cultivate a Second Stage Superhuman, or even focus on training a few to the Third Order."

"At that point, the threat of Third Order Mutated Creatures could be effortlessly neutralized," Bai Yinghui thought more and more excitedly.

Ye Feng watched Bai Yinghui’s face, which was struggling to hide his emotions, yet rife with subtle changes, and couldn’t help but wonder what the man was thinking.

Of course, if Ye Feng knew what was going through his mind, he probably would have laughed out loud.

After all, his Contracted Animals could supply an unlimited amount of Spiritual Energy.

Take the Mutated King Cobra as an example; it could absorb 40 points of Spiritual Energy in an hour, which equated to one Spirit Fruit in 2.5 hours.

This meant that in one day, the Mutated King Cobra was roughly equivalent to absorbing 10 Spirit Fruits; so over time, the disparity in strength between the two parties would only grow larger.

"This matter is indeed of great importance to us. I will go back, convene a meeting, and discuss it thoroughly to give you a satisfactory offer," said Bai Yinghui, after controlling his emotions, looking earnestly at the Mutated Parrot.
