Chapter 292: Body-Strengthening Fruit
After the young couple entered the carriage where Zhu Zhiquan and the others were, they were licked all over by Xuebao.
"Alright Xuebao, can you take me to find your mom and dad?" Zhang Yu smiled and stroked Xuebao's head.
"Mm~" Xuebao responded, then pulled them to the entrance of the research society. The two looked inside together and discovered Zhao Yuxin was doing research, so they asked Xuebao to take them to find Zhu Zhiquan.
But at this moment, Zhao Yuxin spoke up: "You two were acting pretty convincingly outside just now; could you take me along next time?"
The two were immediately startled, and Liu Feng was the first to speak to Zhao Yuxin: "Regiment Leader Zhao, you surely won't blame us for this, will you?"
"Blame you?" Zhao Yuxin stopped what she was doing, turned her head, and asked: "If I were to blame you, I could only blame you for not giving me a chance to make an entrance. You finished the act like that, so what was I supposed to play?"
Zhang Yu chuckled and trotted over to Zhao Yuxin, saying: "Regiment Leader Zhao is right. By the way, where is your man? Why isn't he coming over to help?"
"Ajiu doesn't know a damn thing about research. With that brain of his, he only thinks about fighting all day; how could he understand this?" After finishing, Zhao Yuxin took Zhang Yu's hand and started chatting, while Liu Feng was led by Xuebao to the Plantation.
At this time, Zhu Zhiquan was gritting his teeth, enduring attacks from the Snake Vine Creepers, holding several-ton barbells in each hand like two swords, moving them with ease and agility.
Off to the side, Gelina was harvesting Gale Grass and Tiger-Subduing Precious Ferns, peeling the seeds off and placing them into their respective boxes.
Liu Feng wanted to chat with Zhu Zhiquan, but couldn't think of a topic for the moment, so he walked up to Gelina and asked: "May I ask what these two plants are called?"
Hearing Liu Feng's voice, Gelina tensed up completely. When she turned around, her pure appearance instantly hooked his soul. Although Gelina still stuttered a bit when she spoke, her looks were lethal to many young men.
Taking advantage of Gelina's slow introduction, Liu Feng had already seen the information for these two plants via the System Panel.
After Gelina finished her introduction, Liu Feng was just about to ask for her name when the voices of members of the Roaring Regiment came from outside the carriage.
"Big shots inside, could you please come out for a moment? Our Roaring Regiment Regiment Leader wants to personally apologize to you."
Hearing that the Roaring Regiment wanted to apologize, Zhu Zhiquan flashed up to the roof of the carriage, looking down at everyone in the Roaring Regiment with a gaze of disdain for the world.
The Regiment Leader took a step forward and buried his head very low, but his face was full of defiance, though from Zhu Zhiquan's angle, he couldn't see his face at all.
The Regiment Leader spoke slowly: "I am Li Jiang, Regiment Leader of the Roaring Regiment. I didn't know a big shot had descended and offended you; I ask for your understanding, big shot."
Zhu Zhiquan stood where he was without saying a word, feeling inside that this person was truly long-winded, and began to hunch his back, preparing to go back down.
Seeing Zhu Zhiquan standing on the carriage roof and bowing to him without saying a word, Li Jiang assumed this was some kind of technique, subconsciously judging that Zhu Zhiquan must be a cruel character.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, including killing a few unimportant members to save himself, or if that didn't work, giving some treasure to appease his anger.
But just as he was still thinking, Zhu Zhiquan, annoyed that he was wasting his time, flipped downward and returned to the carriage, then walked toward the Plantation to continue his training, leaving Li Jiang not knowing what to do for a moment.
Inside the Plantation, seeing Zhu Zhiquan return so quickly, Liu Feng immediately stuck to him and asked: "Hey, big brother, did they give you anything? Can you let me take a look too?"
Zhu Zhiquan continued his training without reacting to his words at all. Liu Feng initially thought Zhu Zhiquan hadn't heard him and called out to him again, but Zhu Zhiquan simply ignored him, his eyes only on the improvement of his strength.
Liu Feng asked several more times, but Zhu Zhiquan wouldn't engage, so he quietly took two stalks of Gale Grass and two stalks of Tiger-Subduing Precious Ferns and hid them in his clothes, preparing to take them back to eat with Zhang Yu.
Zhu Zhiquan saw Liu Feng's little movements out of the corner of his eye but didn't bother with him, continuing his physical training.
Just then, Zhao Yuxin and Zhang Yu arrived at the Plantation hand-in-hand, then picked a random patch of ground to start digging and placed a seed inside.
Then Zhao Yuxin asked Zhu Zhiquan: "Ajiu, how is the matter with the currency going?"
Zhu Zhiquan replied indifferently: "Xintamu Haken has already told me; the molds for the currency still need an hour to be sent over. At that time, he will be responsible for the coloring, and the others just need to make the designs for the paper money."
Zhao Yuxin nodded and said: "By the way, I've already created the plant that can increase physique, but I haven't thought of a name yet. Do you have any good ideas?"
Zhu Zhiquan and Gelina were still busy with their own tasks, while Liu Feng and Zhang Yu were having a heated discussion on the side. After thinking for a moment, Zhao Yuxin finally decided to name it Body-Strengthening Fruit.
"This Body-Strengthening Fruit can increase physique by 8 points at once, and each growth cycle is about 5 days. However, with the buffs from the v1 Fertilizer and the Plant Worshipper Statue, if we don't count the shrub's growth, it's expected to grow by tomorrow."
The more Zhao Yuxin spoke, the more excited she became, but she soon lowered her head and said: "It's a pity this fruit is only expected to produce ten pieces at a time, and even with the boost from the Plant Worshipper Statue, it can only add one more."
After Zhao Yuxin finished speaking, Zhu Zhiquan immediately stopped his training and pulled her into his arms, saying in a gentle voice: "No, this is already very good. You have already done your best."
"Mm." Zhao Yuxin stuck out her tongue, looking like a scheme had succeeded. After Zhu Zhiquan let go, she returned to her worried look.
Then Zhao Yuxin took Zhu Zhiquan's hand and suggested: "Ajiu, eat a Body-Strengthening Fruit tomorrow."
Zhu Zhiquan didn't speak, just sent his attribute panel to her. Zhao Yuxin's eyes widened immediately upon seeing it.

After finishing Zhu Zhiquan's attributes, Zhao Yuxin coughed lightly and said: "Sigh~ alright then. Since that's the case, I'll just have to taste the effects of this fruit for you tomorrow."
Zhu Zhiquan had no reaction to this, so Zhao Yuxin picked up two stalks of Gale Grass and two stalks of Tiger-Subduing Precious Ferns, but was stopped by Zhu Zhiquan.
Zhu Zhiquan immediately told her that Liu Feng had already taken these two plants. Zhao Yuxin asked in confusion: "You actually started giving things to people voluntarily?"
"He asked me for them." After saying this, Zhu Zhiquan looked at Liu Feng.
Liu Feng was startled and hurriedly confirmed Zhu Zhiquan's words, which made Zhao Yuxin suddenly realize. "I was just saying, Ajiu actually started giving things to people voluntarily? So it was you who asked him for them. Then it doesn't matter; I'll give you two fruits tomorrow."
Zhang Yu immediately declined, and the two exchanged endless polite pleasantries. Zhu Zhiquan, on the side, glanced at Liu Feng's eyes and felt his expression was a bit strange, as if he were somewhat grateful to him?
