Chapter 9: Devouring the Apple Tree
After hearing Pleasant Goat's words, Wei Jun, who was still happy, instantly calmed down, "Oh! That's what you say. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoDon't worry, since I've explained to you the origin of this thing, I didn't plan to take it for nothing. But I want to explain to you, because you are the first world I have traversed, so I can now say that I have nothing, and what you want to exchange for me may be in vain.
But that doesn't mean I want to take it for nothing, I have an idea you can listen to. You also know that I am a merchant, a plane merchant. Your world is only my first stop, and I will surely travel through thousands of planes in the future, and there will certainly be some advanced planes in those planes. The things that exist in those advanced planes will definitely be much more advanced than your world, and there will definitely be things in them that you need, I say that you understand. ā
"You mean you want us to invest in you, and this apple tree is what we're investing in?" After pondering for a while, Pleasant Goat pointed to the apple tree and asked, "That's the reason." Wei Jun listened and nodded hurriedly.
"To put it bluntly, you still want to take this apple tree for nothing."
"I said, it's not for nothing, it's an investment, it's your investment in me!"
"What's the difference between that and Bonna."
"Yes, yes, yes. I want to take it for nothing, so you just say it's okay, and if it doesn't work, I'll exchange it for another thing. After Wei Jun saw that this method might not work, he was ready to exchange a few pieces of frozen mutton in his baggage, which was what Wei Jun said he would trade with the lamb before. As long as they hand over that thing to the sheep clan, with the technological level of this world, I believe that after a period of time, they will be able to clone a large number of 'earth sheep' to cultivate.
Therefore, it doesn't mean much if this thing is not in Wei Jun's hands, Wei Jun's purpose in coming to this world is just to destroy the plot of this world. As long as the sheep of the sheep clan in this world are peaceful and the wolves of the wolf clan can eat mutton, it will greatly damage the plot of this world, and I am afraid that only the protagonists and supporting characters are not dead, but this is not within Wei Jun's consideration.
With the current situation, it seems that it is not impossible for Wei Jun to exchange that thing for the apple tree, after all, this apple tree is his biggest goal in addition to destroying the plot, and the role of that thing in his hands can only be exchanged for some favor of the sheep clan and the wolf clan in the future, if you can't get the apple tree because of it, it will be worth the loss. Just when Wei Jun made up his mind to make an exchange with the Pleasant Goat, he heard the voice of the Pleasant Goat.
"Actually, it's not impossible for you to want us to invest in you, but you have to answer one of my questions first, and I want to observe whether we want to invest in you according to the answer to this question, do you think that's okay?" Pleasant Goat's answer made Wei Jun stunned for a while, and when he came back to his senses, he quickly nodded, "This is naturally no problem, but don't ask anything about my privacy or secrets, otherwise I won't answer you." ā
Hearing this, Pleasant Goat nodded, "Don't worry, my question is very simple, and it is not about your privacy and secrets. I thought about it for a long time and didn't find out why you were trading with us before. The only ones who gained the most from this deal were our sheep and wolf clans, because after the trade, both of us got what we wanted, and you don't seem to get anything good for you at all.
Your role in this transaction is at best a middleman, which is clearly not in keeping with the nature of a businessman. I just want to know one thing, what are you doing this for? ā
After listening to Pleasant Goat's question, Wei Jun looked at him, "It's over?" "Yes, it's over." Pleasant Goat looked at Wei Jun and nodded affirmatively.
"I thought you were going to ask something, so that's it? Well, since you have asked sincerely, we will be merciful to tell you. In order to prevent the destruction of the world, in order to protect the peace of the world. Carry out love and true evil..."
"Can you be serious?" Pleasant Goat didn't get to the point after seeing where Wei Jun was nagging and saying a lot of words, and impatiently interrupted his nonsense.
"Actually, to put it simply, I don't intend to get any benefits from you at all in this so-called transaction, or what I want is the friendship between your sheep clan and the wolf clan. As you know, I don't have any ability to protect myself now, and this is the first world I've crossed, if I don't want to get help from you, I can imagine how difficult my road will be in the future, I don't know if you are satisfied with this answer. Wei Jun sat on the lawn in front of the apple tree and stared directly at the Pleasant Goat.
"You're not lying, and you've managed to convince me that the apple tree is now yours, so you'd treat him as our investment." Pleasant Goat looked at the lie detector behind his hand and gave this answer, "Haha, this can be there." With that, Wei Jun ran to the apple tree and laughed.
Wei Jun is naturally telling the truth, his purpose in doing this is indeed to be the middleman between the two parties in this transaction, and then gain the favor of the wolf clan and the sheep clan. Think about how powerful the perverted inventions of the slow sheep and the gray wolf are, if you can get this, your safety guarantee will be much higher when you cross the world in the future.
Seeing Wei Jun's gaffe, Pleasant Goat couldn't help but shake his head, but at this time, Wei Jun, who was facing away from him, suddenly said, "Since you are so generous, I can't be stingy, the mutton I brought was frozen in a big white box, you take them away." ā
"Huh?!" Pleasant Goat was obviously stunned after hearing this, "Investment is mutual, since you have invested in me, then I also need to give you some investment, right?" All right... I'm doing this to buy your favor, no? Wei Jun was a little heartbroken by the sharp eyes of the Pleasant Goat. Pleasant Goat crossed his arms and pretended to learn Wei Jun's tone and said, "This can be had." ā
"Alright, you can take your things and go now. I don't know when the matter on my side will end, just ask someone to bring me something when you go back, remember to ask for whole grains, I may not be able to eat your grass food. After that, you can ask the guy who brought me food to drop me off at my residence when I'm done. With that, Wei Jun ran to the apple tree, stretched out his right hand and put it on the apple tree, and then closed his eyes.
Pleasant Goat looked at Wei Jun's strange behavior, and saw that he had been standing with his eyes closed and his right hand on the apple tree, and he was like this after a while. Pleasant Goat tried to call him twice, but he didn't see any reaction from Wei Jun, seeing this, although Pleasant Goat was a little puzzled, he didn't bother Wei Jun again.
Pleasant Goat came to the car and opened the burden that Wei Jun had put on the car, and found a basin-sized box among the many miscellaneous items inside and took it out. When Pleasant Goat just lifted the box, he felt a burst of coldness spread to his palm, and the weight of the box in his hand was not light, and then Pleasant Goat knew that there must be a lot of ice cubes in it.
After opening the box, the Pleasant Goat saw that the box was full of ice cubes, some of which had melted into water, and there were several pieces of bright red meat lying in the center of the ice cubes.
Although it was a piece of meat on his 'kind' to the Pleasant Goat, it was obviously not to scare him for the sheep who had experienced the wind and waves. After packing up the box and putting Wei Jun's baggage in the car, Pleasant Goat looked at Wei Jun, who was still maintaining his previous movements, and shouted, "I took the things, I will ask someone to bring you your dinner, then I'll go first." ā
Seeing that Wei Jun did not respond as he had guessed, Pleasant Goat withdrew his gaze and drove away in the distance.
At this time, Wei Jun has entered a state of mystery and mystery, in this state, Wei Jun can no longer feel any movement around him, all he can feel now is a large majestic energy in front of him, which is constantly being absorbed, digested and then strengthened by himself. The reason why Wei Jun is in this state is precisely because he used his natal skill, Devouring, on the apple tree in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, if Wei Jun encountered an existence with such powerful energy as the apple tree, Wei Jun would definitely turn around and leave without hesitation. As for the reason, it is that compared to the terrifying energy of the other party, one of the two is like a wide lake, and the other is an ant struggling to survive on a leaf in the lake, and the two cannot be compared at all.
But now Wei Jun obviously didn't need to worry about this, because the energy in front of him was simply an ownerless thing, and this apple tree was just a means for it to disguise and protect itself. However, in Wei Jun's opinion, its disguise is probably just unconscious self-protection, otherwise it would not be his turn to come here to pick up cheap.
Of course, it doesn't matter whether it is as he guessed or not, in Wei Jun's opinion, there is only one result, and that is that its final result will become a part of himself. Although Wei Jun has been doing one thing repeatedly and monotonously now, devouring, devouring, devouring. But this didn't make Wei Jun feel any boredom, Wei Jun knew that if he devoured an extra amount of energy at this time, he would become a little stronger.
This is something he will never find boring for him who is eager to get strength and become stronger, even if he is allowed to devour him for ten or a hundred years. However, the only thing that made Wei Jun feel a little dissatisfied was that he was devouring too slowly, and it would take at least a few hours to completely devour the energy in front of him, which was also because his ability had just awakened and he was not very proficient in it.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the sun has set in the west, and the moon has hung high. Wei Jun, who had been devouring for several hours, finally moved at this time, and after exhaling a turbid breath, he slowly withdrew his right hand, and his closed eyes slowly opened.
The first time Wei Jun opened his eyes, he saw that the apple tree in front of him, which was originally leafy, had now turned into a dead tree with bare branches and dead branches without a trace of moisture.
However, before Wei Jun could sigh at it, he felt that he now had an extra superpower, a superpower that could be created out of nothing. Just as Wei Jun slowly received the information of this superpower, his eyes suddenly widened, and the original smug smile was replaced by a dejected expression: "Grass!" Lao Tzu really shouldn't believe in any original drama, this superpower is really not as rebellious as imagined. Nothing? Phew! ā
