Chapter 257: Chapter 257

After leaving the Foreign Beast Area, Su Yan immediately moved to the Exotic Fruits Area.

At this stage, exotic beasts were of limited help to him. Exotic Flower Fruits were more cost-effective.

Entering the Exotic Fruits Area, just like in the Foreign Beast Area, he was met with dazzling arrays of goods, numerous in variety and countless in number.

As Su Yan wandered around, he spotted various common Exotic Flower Fruits, such as Asuka, Dancing Vine Orchid, Mountain Dark Bud, Sage Fruit, and Liuwei Dihuang Fruit.

He also saw some very scarce Exotic Flower Fruits, like Taogu Hui Pear Fragrance, Mari Seedling, Juri Pear, and Itou Chinan Plum.

Soon, a lady with a clear and spirited appearance came over with a smile and said, "Good afternoon, sir. Can I help you with anything?"

"No, thank you. I’m just looking around by myself for now."

"All right, sir," the lady replied with a sweet smile.

Then, pointing to a counter not far away, she continued, "Sir, I will be sitting over there. If you need anything, just call for me."

Su Yan responded politely, then turned to check out the items at other counters.

Suddenly, a fierce vibration came from his trouser pocket, buzzing wildly.

Su Yan reached into his pocket and pulled out a phone that was still vibrating.

Looking at the screen, it turned out someone had sent him a Fetion message.

Hmm, Big Sister Da Xiangjiao?

When he saw the sender of the message, he couldn’t help but feel a little surprised.

He opened the chat box to check the messages.

Da Xiangjiao: Student Su, have you eaten?

Su Yan: I just ate. Do you need something?

Da Xiangjiao: Sigh, I just got dumped and am feeling very down. I wanted to talk to you about it.

Hm? Dumped? Upon reading this, Su Yan suddenly remembered Big Sister Da Xiangjiao’s persona. The most update n0vels are published on novel⸺fire.net

She was a Sister Yu with a delicate face and a hot body.

She had a small moment of fame on the internet with a photo of her eating a banana and then went to the Dohu platform to be a live streamer, trying to make some quick money.

After her popularity waned, she quickly fell from favor and found that the quick money she made wasn’t even as much as her salary.

Having no choice, she went back to work at the provincial gymnasium and shifted her goal of getting rich to the favored children of the evolution field.

She used the convenience of her job to get involved with some of the favored children who came to the gymnasium for competitions, hoping to climb the social ladder and become a Phoenix.

So... could it be that this woman, who suddenly came to confide in him after the college entrance examination, had hooked up with some favored child, been discarded after he grew tired of her, and was now targeting him?

This Big Sister Da Xiangjiao is such a tramp!

Always thinking of getting something for nothing, hoping to achieve high status through the favored children of the evolution field. People like her are basically beyond redemption.

Seeing that Su Yan had not replied for a while, Big Sister Da Xiangjiao sent him another message.

Da Xiangjiao: Student Su, I’m feeling very distressed right now. Can you console me?

Su Yan: Eating. We’ll talk later.

Upon seeing Su Yan’s reply about eating, Big Sister Da Xiangjiao was completely confused. Hadn’t he just said he had eaten not long ago? Why was he suddenly eating again?

Su Yan ignored the three question marks Big Sister Da Xiangjiao sent and put the phone back into his pocket, continuing to peruse the flowers and fruits in the counters.

After another round of looking, Su Yan finally stopped in front of a counter, captivated by a fruit displayed inside.

The fruit was round and large, with purple skin decorated with spiral patterns, giving it a rather bizarre feel.

As he observed, Su Yan noticed a tag with a brief description of the fruit beneath the counter.

[Devil Fruit]: A treasure from the seas, legend says it is the embodiment of the Sea Devil. Eating it can increase the probability of deriving creature skills, but it has certain side effects: the consumer’s swimming ability will be significantly weakened. Consume with caution.

Wow, an increase in the chances of deriving creature skills from eating it?

Was this Devil Fruit really that incredible?

Su Yan was interested in this fruit.

He had never seen an Exotic Flower Fruit with such unique effects, so he immediately went to the counter where the lady he had spoken to earlier was sitting.

Smiling at her, he said, "Hello, I would like to take a closer look at that Devil Fruit in the counter over there. Does your shop allow taking out goods from the counter to view them?"

"Yes, that’s allowed, as long as you wear gloves," the lady said with a sweet smile, preemptively informing him of the liability involved in taking items from the counter, to avoid any unnecessary disputes. "But if the goods are damaged during this time, all losses will be borne by you, sir. Are you sure you want to take a look?"

Su Yan nodded. Smiling slightly, he said, "I’m fine with that. Could you please retrieve the fruit from the counter for me to take a look?"

"Certainly, please follow me," she replied.

With that, the lady led Su Yan to the counter where the Devil Fruit was displayed.

When they arrived at the counter, the lady took out two pairs of gloves, donning one herself and handing the other to Su Yan.

She then took out a key to open the counter and carefully extracted the Devil Fruit, placing it gently on a display dish.
