I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1834 - 1277: Who’s Counting on Whom?

Some of the Dusk mercenaries showed a look of understanding. Unsurprisingly, Zheng Yichen would likely propose the corresponding conditions next.

"The price of the World Tree fruit remains the same, but I hope you can help find worlds similar to Hazy City, even the Primordial Stone World. If you discover the Primordial Stone World, don’t worry about missing it; you can throw this thing into the Primordial Stone World."

Zheng Yichen took out what he had prepared. The large box contained World Tree fruits, fifty thousand of them, and it had taken him half a day to produce these.

It’s easy to generate World Tree fruits, and there’s enough Chaotic Sea Water resources to give one to each of the Dusk mercenaries present, but doing so would not be enough.

The resources in his hands could not provide a fruit for every world.

"What benefits are there if we find it?" a Dusk mercenary loudly questioned.

"...Idiot." Hearing this voice, another part of the Dusk mercenaries couldn’t help but curse, thinking why bring this up now?

Right now, they were relying on Zheng Yichen, not the other way around. Saying this kind of nonsense was simply making trouble.

"You can choose not to look for it, and I might as well make this my last distribution of World Tree fruits," Zheng Yichen said calmly, as if he was some kind of saint.

If it weren’t for those he cared about, he wouldn’t have done this much.

The Dusk mercenary who had spoken looked at the empty circle around him, feeling a bit overwhelmed: "I, I was just asking for someone else."

He had originally intended to stir up trouble while there were many people present, but he hadn’t expected those around him to clear out instantly.

Moreover, quite a few Dusk mercenaries were hostile towards him, and some even seemed ready to make a move.

"Asking for someone else? Which organization are you from? Does anyone recognize him??"

Just as there are those who would cause trouble, there are also those who don’t plan to let it slide.

The expression of the Dusk mercenary became even more tense, as the Dusk Mercenary Group was currently a cluster of small and large organizations.

If he really was found out...

"I know him!"

"Who! You dare to provoke us; don’t you want to survive!?"

"Ah-ha~" Hearing the commotion over there, Julie let out a shallow yawn: "This is what happens with a lot of people; even now there are those causing trouble. Are they trying to monopolize?"

"Who cares, even if they want to monopolize, they’d just become new Curse Protectors anyway," Zheng Yichen was indifferent to this issue.

Just as Julie said, with many people, there’s bound to be drama, and he didn’t need to bother with it. The curse on the World Tree fruit couldn’t be removed, destined to be used where it’s needed. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Moreover, the curse wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface.

When accumulated in a world, the curse would take effect.

It’s not really like a nurturing mechanism, but more to prevent these things from becoming overly abundant inside a single world.

The World Tree fruit, one per world is enough.

Even though he doesn’t mind people causing trouble, if someone actually causes trouble at this time, both that person and the organization behind the Dusk mercenaries would end up on a blacklist.

Moreover, whether these people have malicious intent, Zheng Yichen could perceive right away. Extraordinary mental perception always came in handy.

"If you want benefits, don’t ask for the World Tree fruit. I don’t need you to find it, and in the end, it’s not going to be me who gets anxious.

Of course, some of you might want to question; since it’s the Proxy Agent executing Extermination Orders that led to this situation, the Proxy Agent should be fully responsible.

If you really have such questions, go and find Dusk to ask, saying it to me is useless. Now you’re hoping I can produce more World Tree fruits, not me relying on you to accomplish anything, so don’t get the order wrong!"

"..." Some silent Dusk mercenaries couldn’t say anything for a while, as some of them really did think this way.

The reason was Zheng Yichen was so responsible; other Dusk mercenaries participating in the Great World Extermination Order were indifferent to future events and had no ability to do anything.

Zheng Yichen had the ability to change some endings and seemed to be trying his best to do so, which was a reflection of an extraordinarily high level of morality?

He could easily ignore everything just like the other Proxy Agents!

However, Zheng Yichen preemptively raised their intended questions; still, some intended to give it another try.

"Of course, some of you might not believe me, but don’t ignore the most important point: I have the ability of extraordinary mental perception. Although it’s not mind-reading, I clearly know whether you have malicious intent or not..."

"..." The Dusk mercenaries, who were planning not to believe, also fell silent.

Zheng Yichen didn’t mention mind-reading before, but now that he did, it really made people suspicious if he had such abilities.

Even if he didn’t, extraordinary mental perception capable of seeing through one’s heart could make potential threats nowhere to hide.

If Zheng Yichen were a pure Holy Mother, even with such abilities, it could force him to do certain things passively due to his mindset.

But he wasn’t, so some people causing trouble really wouldn’t have a chance.

If they insisted on causing trouble, the other Dusk mercenaries wouldn’t agree. Some Dusk mercenaries had ulterior motives, while others genuinely sought a future.

Those causing trouble naturally conflicted with this part of the Dusk mercenaries, and they couldn’t stand on the same line, pushing Zheng Yichen to actively change the collapsed environment.

"In my perception, there aren’t many people with malicious intent towards me, not even one-thirtieth, which is much less than I thought. Next, I will start calling names.

I don’t know why you have malicious intent towards me, but since you do, I won’t accommodate you."

Zheng Yichen snapped his fingers, and a faint red mist spread out. Some Dusk mercenaries were enveloped by the red mist. It had no lethality but could make those marked stand out in high-visibility.

Those unharmed Dusk mercenaries immediately distanced themselves from those marked by the red mist.

"This is slander!!"

"Oh, whether it’s slander or not, you can go to Dusk to ascertain for yourselves. Alright, now I will start distributing World Tree fruits: one fruit for a merit point, roll the dice, six first, then one, repeating in a cycle. The next batch will be next month, with an uncertain quantity."

The remaining Dusk mercenaries, who were not marked, each received a die. These were generated through the Illusory Eye and the Fantasy Great Array Formation. With Lilith’s presence, it ensured each mercenary could have one of these items.

As for the subsequent doubts, the rules were set by Zheng Yichen, and he didn’t know these Dusk mercenaries, so there was no issue with the dice.

The dice, generated through the Fantasy Great Array Formation, were unaffected by external environments, with a perfectly balanced weight distribution. They wouldn’t touch the ground, as the number would be decided in mid-air after being thrown.

When each person throws, the environment for the dice to show numbers is exactly the same.

This was a process that tested luck, with simple rules and high efficiency.

Of course, the reason he did this was because most of these Dusk mercenaries came from different worlds, ensuring that over two-thirds of the fruits appeared in different worlds.

If they later insisted on concentrating the fruits, leading to the outbreak of a curse, it would have nothing to do with Zheng Yichen...

The curse wouldn’t cause immediate casualties upon outbreak but would forcibly select some holders. If these holders couldn’t adjust their mindset, they would directly become Curse Protectors, while those with the mindset of prolonging the existence would continue holding onto the World Tree fruits.

This curse, perfected by Lilith and her peers, would result in self-inflicted entrapment should anyone try to outsmart it.

After the dice casting was completed, there was joy and sorrow. Lilith’s threads split into numerous projections, actively delivering the World Tree fruits to those Dusk mercenaries whose numbers matched.

If they were willing to deliver merit points, they received the fruit; if not, it was passed to someone else. There were plenty who desired the World Tree fruit.
