Chapter 98 Null Fruit
The Miracle Tree said, [Or you can also just give me things with low energy but you have to make up for it with quantity.]
Hearing that, Nathan's eyes lit up.
"So as long as it has energy, right?" He asked with a big smile.
The Miracle Tree was confused by his reaction but still replied, [Yes, child. If you give it to me, I will turn it into a fruit that you can use to enhance your physique.]
"That's good." He took out his phone and said, "Please wait for a minute."
Then he stopped paying attention to the tree and focused on his phone.
Without delay, he started tapping on the tycoon app like a madman.
The Miracle Tree was puzzled as to what he was doing after telling it to wait.
But it still didn't bother him and just watched him tap his phone continuously with full focus.
Soon, a minute passed and Nathan stopped what he's doing.
Turning his eyes back to the Miracle Tree, he conjured an energy stone and showed it to the tree.
"Can this be used?" He asked, "I can feel that it has energy in it though it's just a small amount.
[A Null Energy Stone?]
"You know about it?" Nathan raised an eyebrow.
[I do, it was also used as a currency by the previous Naeco People that lived on the Camp since the energy on it was a necessity hence, it's value.] The voice of the tree sounded nostalgic, as if reminiscing about the past.
"Ooh~ so that's why." He nodded in realization.
Then he said, "But, you still haven't answered my question."
[Oh, my apologies. It's just that seeing a thing from the past makes me think of those days.]
After saying that, it 'looks' back to Nathan and said, [To answer your question, yes, it can be used to exchange fruit.]
[To be honest, the people back then mostly used their Null Energy Stones for their improvement as well.]
[They called the fruit that I turned those Energy Stones as, Null Fruit.]
"Null Fruit?"
[Yes, it was because the fruit was 'made' of Null Energy Stones and also because you can use it to improve any of your attributes with no limits.]
"What!?" At this time, Nathan was not able to handle the surprise and stood, looking at the Miracle Tree with incredulous eyes.
He understands the horror of this Null Fruit.
With it being capable of enhancing one's strength with no limits means that as long as you have Null Energy Stones, you can grow stronger!
That is really a bug-like ability!
Especially for him, who can conjure this energy stone as long as he wants to!
The Tree did not mind his reaction and said,
[At that time, the only one stopping the Naeco from growing too strong was the limited supply of Null Energy Stones on Earth.]
The Miracle Tree said with a hint of pity.
"Really?"
Nathan was shocked after learning of this.
Then he sighed in relief.
"I'm glad that you woke up at this time, or else I might still be wracking my brains just to think of a way I can make myself stronger."
Nathan 'felt' the Miracle Tree gently smiling at him.
Then after a moment of silence, it spoke to him and asked, [The amount of energy contained inside a Null Energy Stone is quite small. To make a low-grade Null Fruit, you'll need 10 thousand Stones.]
Hearing that, Nathan looked at the number of stones he had.
With the Buff added, he was able to make [12,288] Null Energy Stones in just 1 minute.
Nathan decided to tap for another more minute to make up for 2 Null Fruit and improve both his Physique and Spirit.
He nodded his head then turned his eyes back to the Miracle Tree just to tell it to wait another more minute.
The Tree agreed without any problem and Nathan proceeded with tapping on his phone again.
Another minute passed.
Nathan was able to double the
He looked at the Tree and asked, "So, do I just have to pour it all on your hole?"
To which the Tree affirmed.
Without delay, Nathan stood up and approached the opening on the Tree.
Then, like magic, he started continuously conjuring Null Energy Stones and it poured into the Miracle Tree like crazy!
Not long after, 20 thousand Null Energy Stones were swallowed by the Tree.
At the same time, in one of the branches of the Miracle Tree that was near Nathan, flowers appeared and soon two bright red fruits followed.
It grew almost instantaneously and soon, they were fully matured, exuding a mouth watering fragrance.
Nathan seemed fascinated by it and just stood there for a while, staring at the fruit while drooling.
When he snapped out of it, he reached out his hand and picked the fruits from the tree.
Looking at the two red fruits that exuded a sweet smell on his hands, Nathan was in a daze for a while.
At this time, the Miracle Tree spoke,
[What are you waiting for? Go, try it.]
Only then did he snap out of his daze and look at the tree.
With a smile, he nodded his head and unhurriedly took a bite from the Null Fruit.
*Crunch!*
When the fruit entered his mouth, it seemed to turn into a liquid and flowed directly into his muscles, tempering it.
It was because, when eating the fruit, Nathan was thinking of using it for his physique which then automatically responded to his thoughts.
He felt comfort spreading through every fiber on his body and even the fatigue from the day was also solved!
The feeling lasted for only a few seconds but Nathan felt like he was bathing in a warm spring for a whole day!
Clenching his fist, he tried to get a feel on his strength.
"It really strengthened me!" He said with surprise, "Although it was not able to turn my physique into 11, but I can still feel a significant increase in power!"
