CHAPTER 189: CHAPTER 154 GENE POTION_1
At this moment, those following the Mutated Parrot outside were finally gradually recovering from their shock.
Zhang Ji and Jian Yi exchanged glances, both roughly understanding what the other was trying to convey.
It was clear that there was no Spirit Tree to be found.
Therefore, the series of plans they had developed for this were no longer necessary to consider.
Similarly, their goal should also change, which was to purchase more Spirit Fruits.
Thinking this, Zhang Ji coughed lightly and asked the Mutated Parrot with a curious tone, "Parrot Messenger, I just saw Dragon Lord condense Spirit Fruits quite effortlessly, why not sell some more to us?"
"This way, the strength of Dragon Hall can grow faster too— it’s a win-win situation!"
The Mutated Parrot turned its head and glanced at him, saying, "It only seems easy to you, but in reality, whether it’s summoning the Altar Sky Terrace or channeling the Power of Heaven and Earth, the consumption is substantial, I’m talking about the exhaustion of spirits."
"This would greatly slow down Dragon Lord’s cultivation progress, so generally speaking, Dragon Lord condenses Spirit Fruits only once a day, ten at a time."
Zhang Ji silently noted every word the other party said, and responded with a smile, "If you can condense ten Spirit Fruits a day, then selling a few extra to us shouldn’t be too much of a problem, right? We’re not asking for much, just to increase it from one to two a day, how about that?"
"No!" The Mutated Parrot stated very firmly, then softened its tone, "It’s definitely not possible now, but when Dragon Lord becomes stronger, or when the Spiritual Energy further revives, then we can consider selling you more."
Ye Feng understood well that human desires are never fully satisfied; giving too much now would make it difficult to manage later on.
Moreover, he felt the need to control the pace at which Superhumans increased their power.
After witnessing Wang Feng’s explosive power, his perspective on Superhumans had changed somewhat.
Wang Feng was only at the Early Stage First Order, but could conjure a Fire Serpent with a temperature of 3000 degrees in full force. Even a First Order Peak Mutated Buffalo struck by it would be doomed.
Perhaps only Mutated Beings with higher defensive power, like Mutated Elephants, Mutated Rhinos, and Mutated Hippos, might have a chance of surviving, albeit with serious injuries.
So among humans, these Superhumans with high burst potential, when facing Mutated Beings, probably all possess the ability to fight beyond their level.
If he sold too many Spirit Fruits and the other side managed to accumulate a Fourth Order Superhuman, it could pose a small threat to him.
Therefore, he rejected the proposal outright, and the number of Spirit Fruits to be sold later could be decided based on the situation.
As for Zhang Ji, getting such an answer wasn’t disappointing— at least there was a possibility left open.
After that, both sides fell silent.
However, as they were about to leave Sunset Valley, the Mutated Parrot spoke again, "About the restricted area, I have another question."
"You have searched through Hua Country, but what about the situation abroad? You didn’t mention that."
Given the expanding nature of the restricted zones, it’s not possible to ignore them, for no one knows to what extent they will grow after continuously devouring Mutated Beings.
In the end, the whole Earth becoming a restricted area is not out of the question.
At the Mutated Parrot’s question, Zhang Ji couldn’t help but reveal a wry smile.
"After we reported the matter of the restricted zone to the nation, the country shared the message with every country in the world immediately."
"But... some countries do not believe it, while others are helpless."
"Only the major countries have been able to dispatch forces to search, but their search range is also limited. In the end, they only found one restricted area each in America and Europe," Zhang Ji sighed.
"Helpless, I can understand that. But disbelief? Didn’t you send them the data? How could there still be countries so foolish as to not believe?" the Mutated Parrot said, frowning.
"All I can say is, you can never wake a person who is pretending to sleep. They definitely know what’s going on, but one is a Present crisis, the other a future one."
"More importantly, those smaller countries are very clear that the large nations will not allow the restricted zones to expand unchecked, so until the crisis truly falls upon their heads, they would rather turn a deaf ear and wait for us to come to the rescue," Zhang Ji said with a shrug.
Ye Feng: "..."
For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.
But he quickly adjusted his emotions, also understanding that those smaller nations, facing such a disaster, probably had leaders who were already in despair. After losing sight of a future, it wasn’t surprising that they would choose to let things fall apart.
But he couldn’t afford that, he had a bright future ahead.
As he continued to grow stronger, if one day he became so powerful that national borders were no longer an obstacle, then the problem of the restricted zones would ultimately fall on him.
So, after moving forward a bit more with the group, the Mutated Parrot asked again, "Can you use satellites to find all those restricted zones?"
"It’s very difficult, the restricted zones do not devour plants, and the vegetation is now too lush, completely covering the ground. It’s very hard to observe from satellites whether there are any living creatures in that area," Zhang Ji responded.
