Chapter 234 Soul Resources, Holy Water of the Flower Fairy
Instructor Su Xinyan nodded almost imperceptibly. "Not bad. As a beginner, you have reached a barely acceptable level."
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhou's expression instantly relaxed considerably.
He knew that, given Instructor Su Xinyan's personality, the fact that she hadn't criticized him meant that her actions were impeccable. Looking at Fang Zhou's calm expression, Su Xinyan quietly gritted her teeth.
She waved her hand, and the physiological and anatomical projection diagram that was floating in mid-air disappeared.
Turning around, Su Xinyan's gaze fell on the mess on the lab table, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"You've passed this hurdle," she said imperiously. "But now you need to clean up all this filth."
Then, she changed the subject: "In addition, don't forget to check the experimental records of the Light Attribute Professionals Association on the topic of bone regeneration in the next few days."
Although they ultimately failed to achieve their goal, the lessons they learned are definitely worth studying.
Fangzhou nodded obediently after hearing this.
He snapped his fingers, and two skeletons appeared in response.
Although their cleaning movements were stiff, they were exceptionally efficient under the command of the Ark.
Seeing this, Instructor Su Xinyan turned slightly and walked towards her rest room.
Once the last trace of blood in the lab was cleaned up, Fang Zhou walked to the sofa in the corner, raised his wrist, and the screen of his personal terminal lit up.
Strategy mode, activated!
Fangzhou skillfully operated the system and quickly entered the matchmaking interface for the game "Total War: Extinction of Demons".
This time, the opponent is a two-star expert from Longcheng Military Academy.
What they are about to engage in is a battle between random civilizations and random units.
This means that neither side can predict in advance which troops they will be leading.
As soon as the matching success message appears, the chessboard slowly unfolds.
Fangzhou held his breath, waiting to see the system's random selection.
The moment the Abyss Demon series of strategy games appeared on the screen, his heart sank involuntarily.
This was the area he was least familiar with, completely different from the Dragon Summer Federation series that he was good at.
On the other side, the students of Dragon City Military Academy drew a series of strategy games based on the advanced elf civilization, known for its elite ranged archers in the mythological world.
This is a legendary unit that is unmatched in long-range strikes and precision shooting.
This match will be a tough battle.
However, the title "Undead Elite" grants him additional strategic command capabilities.
His status as a Gold-rank necromancer further provided him with the support of a powerful army of undead creatures.
As the game progressed, groups of undead creatures emerged from the void.
The Ark mobilized the forces of the abyssal demons and the undead army, skillfully maneuvering against the high elves' ranged attacks.
Despite the stalemate and several perilous situations, Ark never gave up.
Finally, after a fierce and bloody battle, the dawn of victory began to appear.
The Ark's undead army swept through the barrier formed by the dryads with overwhelming force, breaking through the high elves' flank defenses.
When the last Elf Chess piece crashed down, it signaled the end of the duel, and Ark once again won easily.
"Ark Earth, congratulations on your victory."
[Battlefield Scale] Medium; [Combat Strength Comparison] Evenly matched.
Based on the comparison of the strength and casualties of both sides, the battle evaluation is [a resounding victory].
Your strategy game rank has increased from one star to two stars. You will receive 2 contribution points daily, plus a rank increase bonus of 100 contribution points.
After several days of consecutive victories, Ark's battlegrounds points have reached a very high level.
Currently, "Total War to Annihilate Demons" is still in the intensive closed beta testing phase, and the leaderboard function that Instructor Lu Hu has been looking forward to is not yet available.
Therefore, Ark does not know its current ranking.
To his delight, his strategy game rank rose from one star to two stars, and he also received a daily rank reward of 2 contribution points.
After a month, you can earn at least 60 contribution points.
Even a mosquito's leg is meat, and Ark readily accepted it.
After reviewing his battle footage and summarizing his gains and losses, Fang Zhou walked around Bai Xiaochun and Meng Hongzhuang's laboratory with his hands behind his back.
After making sure they weren't slacking off, Fangzhou casually offered a few words of inspirational advice before heading straight back to his dorm.
After resting in bed for a while, Fangzhou regained his energy and opened his personal terminal.
On the screen, information from the trading channel flooded in like a tidal wave.
Fangzhou's gaze wandered between lines of text and images.
He had a list in his mind of the resources he desired.
If he finds a resource he likes and the seller accepts a trade using contribution points, Ark will spend a fortune to acquire it, as long as the price isn't too high.
However, the search over the past few days has not yielded the desired results.
The trading channel was filled with a dazzling array of goods, but none of them could touch his heart.
After all, those who become members of the military academy are not fools.
While contribution points are valuable, resources that can directly enhance one's strength are even more important on the path of cultivation.
Today is no different; the Ark has still gained nothing.
He sighed with some regret, just as he was about to close the trading channel and go to the skill practice room to practice the [Soul Vision] skill, his private chat window suddenly flashed, and someone sent him a private message.
Fangzhou clicked on it with some surprise, and lines of text appeared before his eyes.
This is a private message from a professional with a natural attribute.
The student showed great interest in the last [Changchun Fruit] that Ark had shown on the trading channel.
Actually, this is not the first time.
In recent days, several naturalists have tried to exchange contribution points for this apprentice-level rare treasure, but Ark has remained steadfast.
After all, Ark currently has two to three thousand contribution points.
Those professionals who can use Changchun Fruit, a rare and precious herb at the apprentice level, are undoubtedly all at the apprentice level.
Based on their wealth, the contributions they could make were far from enough to move Fangzhou's heart.
Therefore, he hoped to obtain more valuable resources in exchange for a simple monetary exchange.
With that thought in mind, he opened the chat details in the trading channel without much expectation, but his eyes widened in surprise.
[Carrying a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night] (Zhang Wu): "Ark boss, I am Zhang Wu, a second-year seed student, an apprentice-to-advanced natural mage."
I learned from Liu Diewu that you have one last Changchun Fruit ready for a transaction.
Liu Diewu also told me about the types of resources you wanted.
I happen to have a bottle of Moon Spring Water that I obtained from the Flower Fairy.
Apprentice-level professionals can greatly enhance their soul nourishment efficiency by drinking just a small sip daily.
I haven't opened this bottle of Moon Spring water yet, but I estimate it will last for two months.
I'm willing to trade it with you for Changchun fruit.
"I wonder if you, Ark, are interested?"
Along with the message, a holographic projection of the bottle of Moon Spring water was also sent.
The crystal-clear water droplets shimmered in the interplay of light and shadow, as if containing the essence of the moon, each drop embodying the blessings of nature.
What's even more convincing is that Senior Sister Liu Diewu personally authenticated and guaranteed it, issuing a signed certificate.
Fang Zhou's eyes lit up instantly, but he did not reply to Zhang Wu's message, "[Carrying a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night]", for the time being.
Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.
Fangzhou chose to conduct a thorough investigation first.
He skillfully operated his personal terminal and quickly opened the search interface.
As he moved, lines of text began to scroll across the screen.
Various records about Moon Spring water came into view on the Ark.
For the flower fairies, Moon Spring is more than just a pool of clear water.
It is the foundation of their lives, the lifeline that sustains the entire tribe's continued existence.
For creatures outside the environment, especially for apprentice-level professionals, the value of Moon Spring water is immeasurable.
As Zhang Wu described it, it is an exceptionally valuable resource for nourishing the soul.
Just a small sip a day can significantly improve the efficiency of soul restoration.
This allows professionals to access deeper levels of the soul during meditation, extending the duration of meditation and accelerating spiritual growth.
If we were to make a comparison, a sip of Moon Spring water would be far more effective than the [Low-Level Soul Soothing Potion] that Ark currently takes every day.
If the efficacy of Moon Spring water can be proven, then exchanging it for the last Evergreen Fruit would definitely be a wise choice.
Having made up his mind, Fangzhou sent another message to Senior Sister Liu Diewu through his personal terminal.
【Ordinary Apprentice】(Ark): Senior Sister Butterfly Dance, just now a Senior Brother Zhang Wu mentioned that he would exchange a bottle of Flower Fairy Moon Spring Water for the last Evergreen Fruit in my hand.
He also said that this matter has been appraised and guaranteed by you. I wonder if you could tell me the details?
After sending the message, Fangzhou held his breath and waited for Liu Diewu's reply.
Just as Fang Zhou had expected, Liu Diewu quickly gave him an affirmative reply.
It seems that Senior Brother Zhang Wu must have spoken to Liu Diewu before communicating with Fang Zhou.
That's why Liu Diewu kept a close eye on the Ark's movements.
【青青子矜悠悠我心】(Willow Butterfly Dance): "Fangzhou, what you heard is true."
The bottle of Moon Spring water in Zhang Wu's hand has been authenticated by our Natural Science Professional Association, and it is indeed genuine. We have also issued an authentication certificate.
He also shared with us how he obtained the bottle of Moon Spring water from the flower fairy.
It was all a coincidence.
During a mission to Haicheng Military Academy, Zhang Wu stepped into the Natural Forest, a spatial fragment mysteriously fused with the Blue Star world, and in doing so, he greatly helped the Flower Fairy clan.
At that time, several ferocious monsters were preparing to kill a group of helpless flower fairies.
Zhang Wu stepped forward and defeated the monsters one by one, rescuing the flower fairy princess from their mouths.
His heroic act earned him the deep gratitude of the flower fairy clan.
Moreover, Zhang Wu, as a nature mage, also used the nature-based healing skills he had learned during his awakening.
They helped these flower fairies heal many of their people who had been seriously injured and were on the verge of death due to the spatial fusion.
Therefore, Zhang Wu formed a deep friendship with this small group of flower fairies in the Forest of Nature.
To express her gratitude to Zhang Wu for saving her life and for his selfless help, the Flower Fairy Queen personally retrieved precious Moon Spring water from the sacred Moon Spring of her tribe and presented it to Zhang Wu as a token of her deepest thanks.
For this reason, Zhang Wu lingered in the Forest of Nature for a long time and was unable to return to Haicheng Military Academy with us in time.
If you hadn't entrusted me to convey the news of your possession of Changchun Fruit to various friends, Zhang Wu might still be in that forest.
Strengthen your relationship with the flower fairies.
If that's the case, he might miss out on the last precious Evergreen Fruit you have.
Senior Sister Liu Diewu recounted in detail to Fang Zhou the whole story of Zhang Wu's interactions with the Flower Fairy Clan in the Forest of Nature.
Her explanation explained why Zhang Wu had such a large bottle of Moon Spring water.
Fang Zhou's doubts vanished, and he immediately felt relieved.
【An Ordinary Apprentice】(Fang Zhou): "I understand, thank you for the promotion, Senior Sister Butterfly Dance."
Since there's no problem with the Moon Spring water, I'm naturally willing to trade with Senior Brother Zhang Wu.
Thank you again, senior sister. I'll treat you to a meal when you have time.
【青青子悠悠我心】(Liu Diewu): "Hahaha, junior Fangzhou, you're welcome."
Helping you promote Changchun fruit is actually helping us nature professionals as well.
I have already consumed the previous Evergreen Fruit, and I can clearly feel a significant enhancement in my body's natural affinity and aptitude.
I'm currently watching for a breakthrough in hand strength and a general rise in the black iron rank.
Once I get promoted, I'll definitely treat you, this big spender, to a celebratory meal.
Fangzhou chatted with Senior Sister Liu Diewu for a few minutes on his personal terminal, then opened the trading channel, ready to start trading with Senior Brother Zhang Wu.
[An Ordinary Apprentice] (Fang Zhou): "Senior Brother Zhang Wu, are you at Haicheng Military Academy now?"
I would trade the Changchun fruit in my hand for the bottle of Moon Spring water in your hand.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for you, senior brother, to meet up and work together to complete this transaction?"
Zhang Wu was clearly eagerly awaiting Fang Zhou's reply.
As soon as Fangzhou sent the message, Zhang Wu replied immediately.
[Carrying a knife but no umbrella on a rainy night] (Zhang Wu): Great, junior Fangzhou.
I'm at Haicheng Military Academy, just back in my dorm, and Moon Spring is right next to me.
If it's convenient for you, how about we make the deal now?
[Ordinary Apprentice] (Ark): I'm also in the dormitory, and we can trade at any time.
How about I visit the second-year students' dormitory in person?
However, Zhang Wu's reply was beyond Fang Zhou's expectations.
His tone revealed an undisguised excitement and eagerness.
[Carrying a knife but not an umbrella on a rainy night] (Zhang Wu): "Junior Fangzhou, no need to trouble you."
I'm on my way now, please wait a moment.
Fang Zhou smiled slightly and sent Zhang Wu his dormitory number.
Clearly, Zhang Wu had extremely high expectations for this deal, even going so far as to offer to visit the buyer in person, fearing any unforeseen circumstances.
Soon, there was a knock on the door.
Fangzhou stood up, opened the door, and took a look.
What came into view was a young male student dressed in an elegant white robe.
He had a handsome face, with a gentle and refined air about him, and an indescribable natural aura that made him stand out.
Upon seeing Fang Zhou, the male student immediately gave a standard military salute with a gentle and sincere voice: "Hello, junior Fang Zhou."
I am Zhang Wu, who contacted you before. It is a great honor to meet you here.
Fang Zhou returned the courtesy, raising his hand in return and inviting Zhang Wu into the dormitory.
After the two sat down, Zhang Wu did not hesitate at all. He took out a bottle of transparent liquid that emitted a pale blue luster from his pocket and carefully placed it in front of Fang Zhou.
"Fangzhou, this is the Moon Spring water I promised to deliver."
It has been perfectly sealed since it was collected and has never been opened, preserving its purest state.
Fang Zhou took the bottle of precious spring water, but before he could examine it closely, Zhang Wu pulled out a piece of colored paper with gold trim from his pocket and handed it to Fang Zhou.
He explained, "This is a certificate of authenticity issued by the Natural Sciences Professionals Association, proving the genuineness and value of this bottle of Moon Spring water."
If you have any concerns, feel free to open the bottle and inspect it on the spot to ensure a fair and transparent transaction.
However, Fangzhou simply gave a light warning and put the certificate back in its place.
A gentle smile appeared on his lips as he said, "No need for such formalities, Senior Brother Zhang Wu."
My senior dance teacher has already told me in detail about your character.
Furthermore, the trading channel has extremely strict penalties for counterfeit and substandard products.
I believe that Senior Brother Zhang Wu would never, and need never, tamper with this bottle of Moon Spring water.
Based on this trust, Fang Zhou handed the precious Changchun Fruit to Zhang Wu without hesitation.
Zhang Wu carefully held the Changchun fruit in his hands, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm the surging emotions in his heart.
"I'm sorry, junior Fangzhou, you must have found this amusing."
His voice trembled slightly, carrying a hint of shame and gratitude.
"In my heart, the Changchun Fruit is a rare and precious treasure that only exists in legends, something I wouldn't even dare to dream of."
Who would have thought that I, Zhang Wu, an ordinary second-year seed student, would be fortunate enough to possess it before even advancing to the Black Iron level?
Zhang Wu sighed deeply and said, "If Liu Diewu hadn't sent me a message reminding me that I had Changchun Fruit, I might have missed the most important turning point in my life."
At this point, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he shook his head slightly, a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.
"In my second year, I was just an ordinary seed student, ranked only in the 80s."
Compared to those top ten elites, such as Senior Sister Liu Diewu, a natural druid, I am utterly insignificant and far inferior.
Whether in terms of personal wealth or talent and potential, I am far inferior to them.
Trying to queue up to exchange Changchun fruit from the school's resource pool is simply a pipe dream.
