Becoming God Of A Dystopian World-Chapter 245: Gathering The Fruits
Zhao Luo looked towards his right.
Zhao Luo stopped his sight on Senior Cutie and Pi Hao who had already started working on the fruit gathering mission.
"Boom."
Senior Cutie smacked the thick white tree with his bronze rod without holding back.
The bark of the tree was unfazed but the place where the rod had struck, was like the center point of the resulting shockwave which traveled to the top of the tree.
"Hmm, so he is using force."
Zhao Luo mumbled as he stared at the branches of the tree, Senior Cutie had just struck with his rod.
The shock traveled into the multiple branches that were at the top.
Shrrr!
The branches trembled furiously when the divided shock entered them, causing the fruits to swing around along with the trembling, and a moment later the fruit that was hanging at the tip of the branch broke free.
"Hey, catch it."
Senior Cutie said as the fruit suddenly dropped towards the ground.
The speed of its drop was faster than what he could have imagined.
But, even though Pi Hao was ready for it, he barely caught it with both of his hands.
'It's heavier than 10 apples.'
Pi Hao thought as the fruit was big enough to cover both of his hands and had a pink cover that gave it a garnishing look instead of something that was to be consumed.
'What is this strong scent?'
Pi Hao mumbled as he could feel an abrupt wet feeling in his dry cold mouth.
'Gulp.'
The alluring scent that was originating from the fruit in his hands was making him drool.
"Don't eat it, or else we will not only fail the mission and miss the reward, but we will also lose our bonus, and above all, we will be punished too."
Senior Cutie advised Pi Hao whose eyes looked like the eyes of a man who had been starving for weeks.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Pi Hao bowed his head while feeling ashamed.
The next moment he threw the fruit in the bag he had.
"There is no need to be ashamed. That fruit is like an enchanted weapon that one who wants to get stronger will yearn for, no matter the hardship he has to face to get it. So just hold yourself back for now. You will get yours when we reach the Sect."
Senior Cutie told him with a calm tone.
He wasn't aggressive instead he explained to Pi Hao without blaming him for his sudden greedy attitude.
'Nod.'
Pi Hao nodded and moved towards another tree to start collecting the trees.
It was better for eight hands to work instead of six.
"Good."
Senior Cutie looked at Pi Hao who moved to one of the trees that were in front of the tree he was at and started throwing his fists at it.
"So, senior brother has a nice side too."
Zhao Luo who had always called Cutie as Senior addressed him as a helpful senior brother who had treated Pi Hao in a very passive way.
"Did he change or is it just me who he loves to mess around with?"
Zhao Luo grinned while turning his head towards Xiao Yu who was at his far right.
"Oh, his bag already looks thick."
Zhao Luo stared at Xiao Yu's bag.
The base of the bag already looked filled.
"He must have collected five of them already."
Zhao Luo calculated after which he starting looking at Xiao Yu who was lowering his body, most likely getting ready to use a movement technique.
"Oh!"
Zhao Luo was interested in what Xiao Yu's next step will be.
The next moment under Zhao Luo's gaze, Xiao Yu jumped between two trees.
Using one of them as a stepping stone he kept on going left and right while making his way to the top of the trees.
"So he is using his control instead of wasting his force."
Zhao Luo mumbled while Xiao Yu stood above a branch and slowly lowered himself to grab off the fruit hanging on it.
Just like that, he had collected five of the fruits in under two minutes.
"I should start too. Otherwise, I will be left with nothing. Or do I even need to?"
Zhao Luo believed after looking at Xiao Yu's gathering speed.
"If he kept on going then in twenty minutes, he will have collected 100 fruits while Senior Cutie and Pi Hao will have the other hundred."
Zhao Luo said to himself but then shook his head since with him contributing to the mission, their gathering speed will increase by two times.
"Let's start with this one."
Zhao Luo looked at the tree in front of him and as he had already learned how sturdy it was after watching Senior Cutie ramming his rod at the trees, Zhao Luo was ready to go all out.
Zhao Luo pulled back his arms and clenched his hands into a fist.
"Boom."
The next instant his fist that was in the explosive plane landed on the thick bark of the tree's trunk.
'Hmm.'
Zhao Luo who had mastered his fist art, bullet fist, by hitting the extremely compact and strong tungsten mountain felt miserable as there was not even a slight change in the tree.
'Rustle~'
A moment later the sounds of leaves rustling started rising when there was not even a subtle trace of wind in the area, the cold atmosphere being the exception.
Zhao Luo looked up and found the branches trembling as if they were going through a seizure.
"Good. Now fall already."
Zhao Luo loudly said.
If others had seen him, then they would have definitely thought that Zhao Luo had lost his mind.
The fruits started falling one after another.
Zhao Luo who was already ready opened his bag and rushed to the spots where the fruits were falling towards.
'Thuzz, Thuzz, Thuzz.'
The tree that Zhao Luo had punched held three fruits and Zhao Luo had collected all three in ten seconds.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Luo moved to th next tree.
