Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 228 Fruit

There was no time to ask Nuwa about Guan Yu's supreme authority. Chu Deng's brows burned, a red light suddenly appeared before his eyes, and he exploded like fireworks.

"boom--"

The immense impact destroyed the entire Green Mountain Gray Top. Nuwa was enveloped in a green shield, with 0s and 1s constantly flashing around her.

Even Nuwa noticed something was wrong. She looked up and saw cracks appearing in the protective shield in the sky. The database code disappeared as quickly as if someone had pressed the delete key. Nuwa quickly saved her database and copied it several times. Finally, she was able to calm down and stop the loss of the database.

Frustrated, Nuwa flicked her snake tail and secretly vowed that if she ever came into contact with Chu Deng again, she would raise her database protection level to the highest level!

Chu Deng's consciousness went blank for a moment, but in the blink of an eye, he had successfully logged out of the online competition and returned to reality.

She rubbed her temples and heard He Feiquan's voice coming from the speaker next to her, "Nuwa data update, the next match, Zero Degree vs. Panda, will be held tomorrow night at 8 pm. The last match between you and Panda will be the day after tomorrow at 8 pm. You can rest for a day."

"Mm," Chu Deng replied.

To ensure fairness, no third party is allowed to watch the 1v1 matches between the three of them. This rule is mainly to protect Chu Deng, since she has the least experience and is easily understood.

"The Beijing laboratory has invited you to visit the Divine Tree. You can take some time to go and see it; you might be pleasantly surprised."

He Feiquan winked at Chu Deng.

"..." Chu Deng looked away, her eyes burning. "I understand."

After giving his instructions, He Feiquan hung up the call immediately.

Chu Deng held the holographic helmet and pondered for a while. Recalling the matter of Nuwa's highest authority, he was really impatient to deal with it. After thinking it over, he decided to remain unchanged and wait and see.

After resting for a night, Chu Deng went directly to the heterologous plant area of ​​the Beijing laboratory. From a distance, he saw the Fire Tree stretching its branches and shaking its leaves as if greeting him.

Chu Deng waved his hand in a good mood, then spotted the fire-type crystal core buried in the soil.

The researchers in Beijing are really generous; they're using at least level three crystal cores.

If it weren't for Jiang Guo emphasizing that all the level-four fire element crystal cores had been given to her, Chu Deng would probably have buried them in the ground for the fire tree to absorb.

The benefits of communicating and beneficial alien plants to humans far outweigh those of individual superhumans.

Putting everything else aside, the Fire Tree, with its abundant supernatural power, has actually produced a Level 3 Flame Fruit.

While its effects cannot be completely compared to those of crystal cores, its energy is gentler, and non-fire-type ability users can also consume it in moderation.

The researcher led Chu Deng to stand outside the glass enclosure and eagerly inquired about how Chu Deng would process the Flame Fruit.

"Leave it to me?" Chu Deng asked doubtfully. Would these guys, who wanted to study the Fire Tree to the core, really be so kind?

The researcher tried his best to suppress his urge to complain, saying, "Professor Jiang entrusted the entire matter to you."

Jiang Guoqiang? It's not impossible.

Chu Deng thought of that kind elder, and her heart softened a little. She said softly, "Wait a moment."

The next second, she connected with Huoshu's consciousness and directly asked for Huoshu's opinion.

What are your plans for handling these fruits?

【...One crow, two lamps, two of me... one by one...】The fire tree responded to the lamps intermittently.

Crows? It should be dark clouds. I have two, the Fire Tree keeps two for itself, who is YiYi?

As Chu Deng was translating, she saw a girl carrying a bucket of water walk into the Fire Tree. She was wearing a name tag on her chest that read "Xiao Yiyi".

Xiao Yi used a ladle to pour the tea from the bucket onto the roots of the fire tree. "I've inquired about it, and you like this clear tea the most..." She happily touched the roots of the fire tree. "I specially went to Cai Zhizhi to ask for some, and I promise I'll take good care of you from now on."

The fiery tree shook its leaves, as if in response to Xiao Yiyi.

Seeing how much effort Xiao Yi put into the fire tree, Chu Deng couldn't help but smile, taking a sip and a bite.

Chu Deng was relieved to see Huo Shu living a comfortable life at the research institute. After distributing the Flame Fruits according to Huo Shu's wishes, Chu Deng secretly gave Huo Shu a level-four crystal core.

It's not free.

Huoshu was delighted and immediately performed a spectacular display for Chudeng, with flames rising from the burning leaves like stars falling into the soil, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

Unfortunately, Chu Deng had just experienced being blown up like fireworks, so she couldn't appreciate it and had to leave the research institute wearing the flower crown that Huo Shu had made for her.
