Anbabu looked at Zhou Kun speechlessly. To Zhou Kun’s surprise, Anbabu said, “I’m a Wind Dragon, and I’m only proficient in Wind-type magical spells. However, I can teach you simple meditation and elemental communication.”
“Deal, I’ll give you 10 Dragon Crystals for that too,” Zhou Kun agreed straightforwardly and paid him 10 Dragon Crystals.
Since eating fruit could upgrade Zhou Kun’s talent, there was nothing he was afraid of.
Peaches were Botanical-type, and he reckoned that there must be other Wind-type fruits. As long as he learned to identify them, he would go back to obtain the required fruit and bring five kilograms back to the other world.
With the help of the peach juice, Zhou Kun’s communication with the botanical elements was much stronger, and with the help of the meditation method imparted to him by Anbabu, some green clusters of light kept pouring into Zhou Kun’s body. For the first time, he clearly felt the magic of the other world.
However, Zhou Kun’s perception of the magical elements was soon halted. He wondered, ‘Did the effects of the peaches disappear?’
Zhou Kun did not dwell on that issue for too long because the passage was about to close soon. He had no choice but to quickly transport the fruits back to the cold storage warehouse.
Zhou Kun finally finished transporting all the fruit before the channel closed. The cold storage warehouse that Zhou Kun rented had a storage capacity of 50 tons. That was also the first time in recent days that Zhou Kun managed to maximize the space in the warehouse. Looking at the warehouse that was full of watermelons and grapes, Zhou Kun finally had some confidence.
After finishing everything, Zhou Kun left the cold storage warehouse. As soon as he did, he felt the thickness of the air that was initially rather light and thin. It seemed to have become viscous and whenever he breathed, he felt like he was drowning.
What’s going on?
Why has it become like this?
Zhou Kun looked at the air around him and suddenly noticed that there was a glittering light in the air that was flowing like water. ‘Isn’t this a magical element?’
Unlike the scattered elements that wandered the air in the other world, the magical elements in the surrounding air were thick and viscous. They were constantly pouring into his body without requiring any meditation or operations at all. However, the frightening thing was that the speed of the influx of magical elements was increasing rapidly, forming a huge vortex with Zhou Kun at its center.
Zhou Kun could sense the magical elements surging continuously in his body, and it soon exceeded the limits of what his body could bear.
“Ah…” Zhou Kun finally fainted because he could not stand the feeling of being torn apart.
As soon as Zhou Kun fainted, the magical chaos that arose because of him subsided as well.
After a long period of time had passed, not far from the sky where Zhou Kun passed out, two mysterious people arrived one after the other.
“It was clearly a magical fluctuation. Why has it disappeared all of a sudden?” the mysterious person muttered.
Not long after the mysterious man left, another person appeared right after him, as if he was looking for something. However, he soon disappeared as well.
By the time Zhou Kun woke up again, it was already the following morning. Zhou Kun carefully checked his body, but he did not discover any discomfort.
However, he could still see the magical elements flowing in the sky with his naked eye. He finally understood why the fruits from earth were that special in the other world.
The magical elements on earth were tens of times more intense than that of the other world. However, technology was rampant on earth. As a result, there was no use for magical elements.
In order to verify his own conjecture, Zhou Kun awakened Anbabu who had fallen into a deep sleep as soon as they returned.
“Whew… this place is so uncomfortable… the compression of magical elements…” Anbabu’s consciousness was a little muddled up, but Zhou Kun still understood what he meant.
The magical elements were too rich and unbearable for Anbabu. It probably did not want to turn into the size of a lizard either. Instead, it had been suppressed by the compression of magical elements around it.
Zhou Kun looked at the silly Two Thousand beside him and thought, ‘Why was this guy so unresponsive?’
In the end, Zhou Kun could only be amazed by how special the Great Botanical Genie that was absolutely beautiful was.
Since he was back already, he still had to run his business.
Zhou Kun cut up the watermelon he brought back and snapped some photos of them, which he then sent to various wholesale fruit chat groups.
Apart from the wonderful taste of the watermelons, the biggest feature would be that it had very few seeds.
The watermelons from the other world were extremely special as there was only one line on the entire watermelon. Upon cutting the watermelon, a single row of black seeds was exposed.
In other words, apart from the row of seeds, the remaining part of the watermelon was entirely made up of flesh. It could be considered seedless watermelons.
Seeing that there were barely any messages in the chat group, Zhou Kun reckoned that it was probably too early since it was only about seven in the morning. Hence, he was not in a hurry. He sat in the store and ate some watermelons alone. He would occasionally tease Two Thousand with the watermelon skin.
Soon, Zhou Kun was greeted with the sight of numerous pickup trucks at the entrance, which told him that he was being too naive.
Old Madam Huang Fang and the other members of her “Flowers of Jinlan” clique quickly arrived at Zhou Kun’s store. Xu Yang was somehow also present. His small car looked particularly special among a fleet of small pickup trucks.
“Kun, the watermelon is a new variety. Is the quality good?”
“Little Zhou, how are the watermelons that have just arrived?” Two people asked at the same time, and at the next second, Huang Fang, the leader of the clique of elderly ladies, looked at Xu Yang.
“We’re buying all these watermelons…”
“I’m buying all these watermelons…”
If sparks were produced merely by eye contact, then Zhou Kun’s shop would have been burning by now.
“Hmph, since it’s not a first-come-first-served basis, then the highest bidder will win!” Old Madam Huang’s expression was disdainful. She had never lost before when it came to bidding.
Xu Yang found it to be interesting. He was a purchaser of an upscale restaurant, and it would be a joke if he could not beat a bunch of elderly ladies!
Fortunately, Zhou Kun managed to stop the bidding. Otherwise, a battle would be inevitable.
“Don’t worry, there’s more than enough watermelon this time.”
“More than enough?” asked old Madam Huang who was the first to feel apprehensive. Previously, there had been more demand for grapes and peaches than he could supply.
“There really is more than enough. I have tens of tons. There’s no hurry.”
After hearing Zhou Kun’s repeated reassurance, Huang Fang and the other elderly ladies finally felt relieved. At the instant that they saw the message in the morning, they quickly got into groups and got ready to snap up the goods.
If they did not bring any goods back, it would be hard to answer to the numerous residents of the estate.
“You guys are here so early. You must be tired. Come on, sit down, and have some watermelons. Don’t be in a rush to purchase the watermelons.”
While speaking Zhou Kun cut open another two watermelons. A few elderly ladies sat in a row at the entrance of the store, each holding a slice of watermelon.
“Little Zhou’s fruits are so good. It was the right choice to come early. Otherwise, they would probably be snapped up.”
“This watermelon is really good. Let’s stock up and get more later. Watermelons are best eaten during summer.”
“The skin looks very crunchy too. I eat watermelon skin too!”
Xu Yang looked at the elderly ladies in the store and felt a little confused. “Zhou Kun, where do these elderly ladies come from?”
“Fortunately, we didn’t compete just now. Otherwise, you’d definitely lose!”
“That can’t be true.”
“Nothing is impossible when it comes to these elderly ladies.”
