#216 - Chapter 216 Devil Fruit
A strangely shaped fruit appeared in Qi Jing's hand.
About the size of a volleyball, with spiral patterns, it was a Devil Fruit!
Good stuff!
It could be said that each Devil Fruit represents a unique ability.
Devil Fruit - Paramecia-type - Silence Fruit: Grants the ability of "silence" upon consumption; tastes extremely bitter; weakens the user upon contact with Sea Stone, greatly limiting the fruit's ability; causes an explosion within the user upon consumption of a second Devil Fruit, nullifying all abilities; randomly reappears somewhere in the world upon the user's death.
Qi Jing read it carefully for a while.
This fruit's description is quite long.
However, aside from the first sentence about the ability the fruit grants, the rest are uniform characteristics of all Devil Fruits.
Sea Stone is something that doesn't exist in this world, so there's no need to worry about it.
If I can't eat a second one, then I can't. I don't have a second one anyway.
Randomly appears after death? Then I just won't die.
However, the fruit's ability, "Silence," is truly not very powerful. Qi Jing remembered that in the original work, its user could only achieve the function of "muting," without any combat ability enhancement.
Given the premise that he can't eat a second one, if he draws a better Devil Fruit in the future, he'll be at a great disadvantage.
Therefore, Qi Jing planned to store it away and give it away or sell it in the future.
"Does anyone want this Devil Fruit?"
After explaining its function to everyone, Qi Jing asked them:
"I might draw more practical fruits in the future, and this one seems a bit weak to me."
When everyone heard that this fruit could grant an ability out of thin air, they thought it was magical, but after learning its ability, they all thought it was useless.
If someone awakened an ability called "Silence," they probably wouldn't even get into an Ability Academy, so no one would eat this Silence Fruit.
"Keep it for now, and use it as a bomb when you draw another trash fruit in the future."
When Si Kong Yaoyao heard that the Devil Fruit would explode if a second one was eaten, she immediately thought that this fruit could be used as an assassination weapon, provided that its taste was removed.
After hearing Si Kong Yaoyao's guess, Tan Zuoyin said to Qi Jing:
"That makes sense. Why don't you try that short-term taste-blocking lozenge first? Just use that extra-time candy."
Um, right now, the most disgusting thing Qi Jing could think of was indeed the extra-time candy. Even the "extremely bitter taste" mentioned in the Devil Fruit's description, Qi Jing didn't think it would be more disgusting than that.
"Wait a minute, let's try it later, let's draw prizes first."
However, he was still thinking about eating it later, because he hadn't gotten over the shadow of just now.
"Draw prizes!"
One Loudspeaker: No charging required.
Not good, try again.
"Draw prizes!"
One Global Loudspeaker: Can speak to people within a three-hundred-kilometer radius simultaneously for one minute.
Whoa~
Three hundred kilometers, that's a large range.
If you use this loudspeaker to sing in the middle of the night, wouldn't it wake up a large group of sleeping people?
From then on, you could call yourself "the person who wakes up the most people."
That's what he said, but he really didn't dare to use it. Qi Jing really couldn't think of a situation where it could be used.
Draw again!
"Draw prizes!"
No item, it's a skill!
Finger Snapping Proficiency: Proficient in finger snapping.
Um, what's the use of that.
"Draw prizes!"
No item again! It's a skill again! This time it must be a good skill!
Silent Fart: Can choose to actively hide the sound of farting.
(￢ _ ￢)
This... what is this!
If you're going to hide it, you should hide the smell too. What's the use of just hiding the sound!
Trash, try again!
"Draw prizes!"
Still no item, it's a skill again! This third time must be a good skill, right!
Siren's Voice: When the user is female, she can sing a charming song that makes men who hear it fall into a joyful dream; those with strong willpower/mental strength can increase their resistance.
Wo, de, fa?
How can I draw a skill exclusive to women!
Could it be that I have to change my gender?
What a pity, the skill is a good skill, but as a man, I will definitely not sacrifice my happiness for it.
However, I've drawn skills three times in a row. Could it be that my luck is at its peak now?
Hurry up and continue drawing!
"Draw prizes!"
This time it's not a skill, but a dark green flute, no, it's a xiao.
Curare Xiao: Transforms the blown notes into invisible poison arrows, the more moving the notes, the stronger the toxicity; blowing the notes backward can release detoxification arrows.
emmmmm
Give it away.
To use it, you have to know how to play the xiao, and even more ridiculously, to detoxify, you have to know how to play it backward!
Whoever wants to use it can use it, I can't use it anyway.
Qi Jing still prefers simple and crude attacks like Golden Skyline and Yuan Qi Slash. This xiao is too much trouble to use.
However, difficult to use is difficult to use, the thing is still good, proving that the current luck is indeed very strong.
Seize the time, come again!
"Draw prizes!"
Attention Whistle: When blown, it will make those who hear it have the urge to stand at attention.
This whistle is suitable for giving to drill sergeants.
"Draw prizes!"
Non-drip Harmonica: No saliva will enter when playing.
This is good, saliva is indeed one of the factors that prevent him from playing the harmonica, although the biggest factor is laziness.
"Draw prizes!"
Desolate Erhu: Listeners will have the urge to cry.
Just drew an erhu proficiency and got an erhu, not bad, not bad, saves me from buying one.
"Draw prizes!"
......
Luck will eventually run out, and the subsequent draws are all musical instruments.
"How is it, are these musical instruments complete enough? There's even a drum set and a piano."
Qi Jing was surrounded by a circle of musical instruments, surrounding him and Tan Zuoyin: "Do you want to keep them?"
Tan Zuoyin held the harmonica that was placed next to the zither in her hand and said:
"I can't practice so many, I only need this harmonica, more is useless."
"OK, since you don't need them, then I'll sell them all."
Qi Jing put them all into his space, leaving only the erhu.
"Is there anyone who hasn't drawn yet?"
"Those two haven't."
Yan Cheng pointed to Miao Kui and Song Jiang beside him. They were just studying the carbon copy pen, and they were almost done studying it.
"How is this carbon copy pen? Can it be copied infinitely?" Qi Jing asked.
Yan Cheng shrugged: "It's not very good. The paintings drawn with the carbon copy pen still consume my Source Energy, so it can only help me speed up the painting of the same item, and it can't let me infinitely draw good things."
Just now, he drew two carbon copy pens. After summoning them all, he used these three pens to draw three carbon copy pens three times, that is, he drew nine carbon copy pens.
Then he tore them all apart and painted with twelve pens at the same time, but just as Yan Cheng was about to finish the last stroke and pay for the Source Energy, he stopped.
If he finished this stroke, all of his Source Energy would be emptied, and then he would faint here.
Therefore, it's not very useful when Yan Cheng's total amount of Source Energy can't keep up. Only when Yan Cheng's Source Energy is sufficient can qualitative change occur.
At this time, Han Yinuo also came over and said: "I've also finished studying this Ice Soul Sword!"
