Chapter 918: Chapter 574: Double Happiness Comes Knocking

While Chen Guang was still causing a stir in Chuanshu, Li Changhe and He Feng had already returned to Yanyun.

The two hitched a ride with the Extraordinary Association’s vehicle.

After all, Zhao Jiu had been out on a task by himself for a long time, and then the ’factory’ and train incidents had occurred.

This had frightened the people in the Association not lightly, and they directly arranged for the nearest Transcendent to escort Zhao Jiu back to Yanyun.

Li Changhe and He Feng simply took advantage of the opportunity for a ride.

Coincidentally, the person who came to pick up Zhao Jiu was an acquaintance of Li Changhe’s. It was Master Lin... his female disciple, Lin Qi, who had saved the box during the Chaotic Night.

Li Changhe was horrified by her saying, "Even the fiercest of demons have warm intestines."

Who could have expected?

This woman, driving an off-road vehicle with a capable appearance, turned out to be a Taoist...

"Wait a minute, I am a Daoist Transcendent, that’s true. But not all Daoist Transcendents are Taoist priests!" Lin Qi corrected seriously, "You Extraordinary Soldiers, does it mean every one of you has to be a general...?"

"Isn’t that so?" The Tian Ce General from Great Tang, General Li Ba, expressed his confusion.

"Well, you really are one," Lin Qi clicked her tongue. Although she had not been a player for long, she had heard of General Li Ba’s name.

Actually, the Extraordinary Association’s perception of Li Changhe or, to put it more broadly, Extraordinary Soldiers, was not good.

And now... they had Chen Guang.

Along the way, the somewhat talkative Lin Qi lectured Zhao Jiu while chatting with Li Changhe and He Feng among others.

Actually, there was no need for lecturing. Zhao Jiu was lured to the factory by taking advantage of his kindness. In other aspects, he had done quite well.

As for boarding the train, it was entirely at the request of the Moon God. The Moon God had been seriously injured and did not let Zhao Jiu suffer any harm. On the contrary, he even gave Zhao Jiu plenty of spirit fruits and spoils of war before leaving.

And this conversation also allowed Li Changhe to learn about the Extraordinary Association’s latest movements.

During the previous disaster fog in Yanyun, a large number of new players like Zhao Qianhui had emerged. The Association was now acting as a guide for these newcomers.

For new players, real-world tasks were the safest.

After all, external forces could intervene, although it would be judged as passive completion, but at least there was some safety assurance.

The Association was discreetly watching these novices struggle in their tasks, only intervening at the most dangerous moments to enable these newbies to grow most effectively.

At the same time, they were also looking for those individuals among these new players who had the potential to become Transcendents.

In fact, as levels increased, it was not uncommon for players to acquire various extraordinary causes and effects.

Since the extraordinary could enhance players’ attribute traits, some would even deliberately seek out extraordinary causes and effects.

For example, Li Changhe’s constant Physique Feature was the most error-tolerant [Jade Gold Likeness].

After entering the Jiuli Sequence, it became the defense-enhancing [True Form of Jiuli].

Once he activated the Extraordinary Soldier power, it turned into the abnormally defensive [Jiuli Soldier Evil].

This was actually the bolstering effect of the Extraordinary.

This was still when Li Changhe was not fully an Extraordinary Soldier, unlike Shui Yue who was a full-fledged Extraordinary Soldier. Then his constant state would be [True Form of Jiuli].

Similarly, the box’s Strength Trait was [Power to Move Mountains and Rivers], but actually, the constant attribute for 13 points of strength should be [Strength of a Thousand Pounds]. This was due to some kind of extraordinary enhancement on the box.

Two days later, as the group approached Yanyun, Li Changhe and He Feng got out of the car.

Their gains this time were substantial, with the Moon God leaving behind a plethora of spirit fruits for He Feng before departing.

For him, these were initially intended for trading for the "Philosopher’s Stone," but that was no longer necessary.

He didn’t even consider sending them back to the [Black Forest]; instead, he passed them on to General Mountain.

As a result, Li Changhe leveled up to LV11 and acquired the Tiger’s Might Shield and Mimicry Blood Repository.

The former enhanced the defense of the Immortal Cavalry, while the latter allowed Li Changhe to treat injuries in emergency situations.

Additionally, this haul included fifteen pieces of epic-quality materials and equipment from the train, along with hundreds of spirit fruits left by the Moon God.

It was a hefty enrichment, to say the least.

General Mountain, in turn, managed to achieve freedom with epic equipment and planned to use these spirit fruits to bolster their overall strength.

The only drawback was that General Mountain’s base was destroyed.

Mr. Bai’s pet shop was trampled beyond recognition by the Terror Devil amidst the disaster fog. Fortunately, when the disaster struck, Mr. Bai and Bai Luohe had taken all the materials from the base with them, so aside from losing the building, there wasn’t any significant loss.

Moreover, since Li Changhe and the others had rescued Zhao Jiu from the factory, Mr. All-known said the Extraordinary Association would offer help. Rebuilding the base shouldn’t be a problem.

"It’s just a pity that the effect of the spirit fruits diminishes the more you consume them," He Feng mentioned casually to Li Changhe as they walked down the street. "Otherwise, if you could feed these fruits to your Immortal Cavalry, each one of them would be a Terminator."

"Feed them? You really have a way with words," Li Changhe retorted.

The spirit fruits given by the Moon God were Danmu Fruits and Shatang Fruits, which are legendary fruits recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas. It’s said that eating a Danmu Fruit grants fire resistance, while a Shatang Fruit confers water resistance.

Of course, they weren’t as miraculous as the legends claimed.

But they indeed provided fire resistance as well as the ability to ignore water pressure and breathe underwater.

When Li Changhe first ate a Danmu Fruit, a Fire Resistance trait appeared on his panel. His body could withstand temperatures of 500 degrees Celsius, and after eating the second one, it increased to over 900. The effect diminished each time, and after the sixth fruit, the resistance had surpassed 2000, but eating more Danmu Fruits didn’t add much resistance beyond that.

The Shatang Fruit had a similar diminishing return, with Li Changhe gaining the ability to breathe underwater for forty minutes and an avoidance effect for depths over 200 meters. Eating more saw diminishing increases as well.

Six at most... Eating more wouldn’t be cost-effective. It would be better to let others like Bai benefit from these resistances. These fruits should be enough for everyone in General Mountain to acquire resistances, with some to spare.

After some thought, He Feng suggested, "You could use them to curry favor. Isn’t your father-in-law in Yanyun too?"

Xiao Mo had been undergoing medical checks in the hospital since the disaster fog had lifted, and by now, he should have been discharged.

"Indeed, I might as well give some to the old man as well," Li Changhe deliberated. Spirit fruits weren’t skills, so non-players could use them too.

If his father-in-law and Old Man Yun could gain resistances, they’d be safer. Especially with the underwater breathing ability, if they ever encountered danger, lying low in a river could make them safer.

No one can guarantee that a disaster like the disaster fog won’t happen again.

"I was thinking the same. I’ll take some to my father-in-law on the way," He Feng said, waving his hand. "I’m off. In this period, I’ll repair what needs repairing and synthesize what needs synthesis. Once everything is digested, I reckon I can be epic from head to toe."

After bidding farewell to Li Changhe, He Feng headed to the official residential apartments in the suburbs.

Meanwhile, Li Changhe pondered whether he could mooch a training session in the Great Wall’s gym. If he could find someone to train with, it would be perfect.

So, he tried asking Cangyue Ming in the [Friends] list.

However, he forgot that Cangyue Ming and Brother Dong were close; without hesitation, he told Yang Dong about it.

Upon learning that Li Changhe intended to use the training room, Brother Dong was overjoyed. Clenching his fists, he said fiercely, "Double happiness!"
