Na Qianlai carefully opened the gift box, and the moment his hand touched the lucky fruit, he wanted to take a small bite to see how it worked.
The result was still the same: as soon as his mouth touched the lucky fruit, it disappeared.
Na Qianlai was a little disappointed, but the changes in his body made him excited.
It turned out that Na Qianlai relied on stimulating malevolence to improve his cultivation.
However, this malevolence would only be stimulated to its infinite potential when it came into contact with a lucky fruit.
It was like two indelible forces battling: the weaker you are, the stronger it becomes; the stronger you are, the weaker it becomes.
After a period of cultivation, Na Qianlai finally understood the marvel of the lucky fruit.
He made up his mind to obtain more lucky fruits through the lucky fruit bestowal system.
...
After their graduation defense, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai spent less and less time at school.
Except for collective activities organized by the class, they were rarely seen at Qingkong University.
It was as if they had already graduated.
Bai Soxiang had already received a formal employment contract from the data company and had become a part of it.
However, there had not been a suitable opportunity to understand the nature and level of Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai's work.
Because after their graduation thesis defense, they had not shown themselves much.
For several days, Bai Soxiang even timed her elevator rides, hoping to see them during those times, especially Liu Sandao.
Liu Sandao had been a little busy these days.
The lucky fruit system had several anomalies:
Some vouchers that should have been exchanged for silver had not been redeemed in time.
In fact, this consideration was to prevent the system from actively reminding people to redeem their rewards if someone completed a task but failed to redeem it in time or forgot.
If it was not redeemed within five days, it meant that they had voluntarily abandoned the bounty or failed the lucky fruit bestowal mission.
At this point, Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai had to go in person, not only to understand the situation of lucky fruit bestowal in real-time but also to minimize unnecessary trouble.
Here was an account showing that four or five vouchers had not been redeemed.
This problem attracted the attention of Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai.
Through a comparison of information from Tianji Elder and the data company, they discovered that these vouchers were all orders taken by an immortal called "Asura Summon."
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai secretly investigated to see what was going on!
One day, the crystal ball showed that "Asura Summon" had accepted an order, and Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai immediately took flight and rushed over.
They followed the address displayed in the data information to a three-story building.
The white walls of this building were peeling in some places, as if proclaiming the end of its life.
Liu Sandao was mostly familiar with the general direction of Sandong City. If you mentioned a community or a larger street, he could know the approximate location, but he hadn't reached the level of knowing specific households yet.
The small white building at this time was located in Bai Ling Garden on Bai Ling White Collar Street.
This was an old residential area, built in the 1990s.
Despite this, the building still proclaimed its special status.
Liu Sandao's "Manual of Blessings" vibrated slightly, and he took it out to look:
Bai Defa, a four-star person.
It turned out that wherever there was a mission, this "Manual of Blessings" would naturally sense the lucky fruit that was about to be bestowed.
This was something the lucky fruit system could not do.
Liu Sandao did not understand why this was the case for now.
As they neared the rooftop, Fu Ruhai suddenly grabbed Liu Sandao's clothes.
"Wait!"
His voice was soft and low.
It was likely that something was happening.
This time, they were there for a secret investigation, to find loopholes in the lucky fruit system and correct them in time.
Therefore, it was best not to alert the bestowing immortal or the recipients of the lucky fruit.
"Let's go to the rooftop opposite!" Liu Sandao suggested.
A minute later, a dark figure leaped onto the rooftop of the small white building.
This was the immortal who had accepted the mission to bestow a lucky fruit; he must be "Asura Summon."
Bai Defa, an old man nearly seventy years old, had difficulty walking.
He was on the first floor at the moment, holding onto the handrail of the stairs and walking step by step to the second floor.
He was very, very slow.
It was strange, at this age, he should be enjoying the joy of family, but the small building was quiet.
Perhaps, at this time of day, his family had already gone to sleep, and there was no sound to be heard.
Bai Defa held the handrail with his left hand and lifted his right foot onto the stairs; then he grasped the handrail with his right hand and prepared to lift his left foot.
His left foot had a problem, so he placed his right foot first, then his left foot.
This was a matter of habit.
Looking at his skilled movements, it seemed he had always gone up like this before.
However, just as his left foot was about to go up, his right foot slipped for some reason.
With a stumble, he was about to fall!
"Quick! Bestow the lucky fruit!"
Fu Ruhai shouted urgently.
This shout exposed their location and alerted "Asura Summon."
The dark figure immediately looked towards Fu Ruhai and Liu Sandao.
At first, the dark figure had not noticed them standing on the opposite rooftop.
So, with this shout, Asura Summon's movements paused slightly.
However, he still immediately threw a fruit-shaped object to Bai Defa.
As expected, Bai Defa fell to the ground.
"Clang!"
The sound was loud, and the lights on the second floor of the small white building turned on.
Then came a series of shouts and calls, presumably his family had discovered him.
However, immortals would not concern themselves with these matters.
Asura Summon prepared to leave, saying before he did, "Thank you!"
The voice was so familiar that Fu Ruhai couldn't help but say:
"Na Qianlai?"
The dark figure turned his head, gave a slight cold sneer, and left without saying a word.
Fu Ruhai wanted to pursue him, but Liu Sandao stopped him.
"What are you chasing him for?"
"I refuse to believe that Na Qianlai would do anything good!"
Fu Ruhai said, a little indignantly.
"Can you stop him from accepting missions from the lucky fruit system? This goes against our initial plan," Liu Sandao reasoned.
"I'm just upset. He's a person who only cares about money, yet he's kindly bestowing lucky fruits. I think he's just committing more sins," Fu Ruhai continued to say to himself.
Liu Sandao did not reply, as it would be useless anyway. It was better to wait until Fu Ruhai had vented his frustrations.
However, he was not solely listening to Fu Ruhai; he was also observing Bai Defa's situation.
He saw Bai Defa's family helping him to the sofa, saying something to him.
The young person speaking had a serious expression on his face, likely blaming the old man.
Bai Defa lay motionless on the sofa.
"Wait."
Liu Sandao suddenly interrupted Fu Ruhai's continued venting and carefully examined his Manual of Blessings.
The page for Bai Defa had turned dim.
Although he was a four-star person, he still had quite a few lucky fruits.
Liu Sandao saw from his root of blessings that there were still many fruits remaining.
According to some experience that Fu Ruhai had previously imparted, having many lucky fruits meant his lifespan would not be short.
But looking at Bai Defa's complexion and physical condition, it seemed to be deteriorating.
