298: Chicken Essence: My name is Nitaimei

On an ordinary day, Li Mu sat quietly in front of the System interface, his fingers lightly touching the screen as he purchased a large quantity of Talent Spiritual Fruit.

After all, a single Talent Spiritual Fruit only required fifty fraud points, which was nothing compared to the astronomical number of fraud points increasing daily now!

One more or one less didn't make a difference.

So, there was no need to care about such a small amount~

Immediately after, with a thought, Li Mu gently suspended the spiritual fruits he had just purchased from the System in mid-air.

Linglong, standing nearby, widened her eyes, her face full of surprise as she stared at the strangely shaped, colorful fruits floating in mid-air, a string of crystal-clear drool uncontrollably dripping from the corner of her mouth.

Linglong gulped hard while secretly glancing at Li Mu with eyes full of longing and expectation, thinking to herself, "Hmm, these fruits look exactly like the one I ate before, so delicious... I really want to try a bite...

But what if Master finds out and scolds me?"

Just as Linglong was caught in a dilemma, a sudden idea struck her, and she flew gracefully like a small butterfly to Li Mu's side, rubbing against his leg, swaying back and forth, and pleading in a sweet, soft voice, "Master, Master, these fruits look so delicious~ Linglong really wants to eat them!"

Li Mu looked at the cute, fidgeting little glutton in front of him and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

One must know that these so-called Talent fruits, for ordinary Mortals or those who had not yet awakened their own potential, might be considered rare treasures.

However, given Linglong's current cultivation Realm, they were, at most, just ordinary thirst-quenching fruits.

Nevertheless, facing Linglong's watery eyes, Li Mu's heart softened after all, and he conjured three Talent Spiritual Fruits from the air, placing them before Linglong.

After getting the long-desired Talent fruits, Linglong happily hugged them and ran to the place where she usually buried her Spirit Stones, savoring the fruits with great delight.

Watching Linglong eat with such satisfaction and happiness, Li Mu revealed a doting smile, then opened the System again and purchased a few more Talent Spiritual Fruits.

These spiritual fruits emitted a mysterious glow, as if containing endless potential.

Subsequently, Li Mu glanced at these spiritual fruits and walked to the window.

He gently closed his eyes, a gentle smile on his lips, and then lightly tossed the spiritual fruits into the air.

The spiritual fruits traced beautiful arcs in the air, falling like meteors to various parts of the country.

They either fell onto bustling city streets, drifted into tranquil and peaceful rural villages, or landed deep within secluded, quiet mountains and old forests.

These Talent Spiritual Fruits, like seeds, were scattered all over the world, awaiting discovery by those with destiny.

Perhaps, in an unintentional moment, an ordinary person would pick up these spiritual fruits and thus change their own fate.

...

In a remote mountain village, there was a young man named Li Ming, who made a living by gathering herbs.

One day, he went up the mountain to gather herbs as usual.

Deep in the mountains, he accidentally discovered a fruit emitting a strange light.

This fruit was crystal clear, and although its shape was a bit peculiar, he had gathered herbs for many years and had seen all sorts of oddly shaped herbs.

Li Ming didn't think much of it; coincidentally, he had been gathering herbs for so long that the water he brought had already run out, and finding a fruit at this moment was truly perfect.

Li Ming curiously picked up the fruit and put it into his mouth to chew.

Instantly, he felt a powerful energy surge within his body.

Li Ming was surprised to discover that he had acquired a miraculous ability—to make anything several times lighter or heavier.

He excitedly returned home and began to try out this new ability.

He picked up a worn-out iron pot, concentrated, and imbued the pot with the power of lightening.

The iron pot became incredibly light; he could almost effortlessly pick it up with just two fingers.

Then, he found a heavy stone and applied the power of weighting to it.

The stone became exceptionally heavy; it took almost all his strength to move it even slightly.

Li Ming realized the power of this Talent, and his heart was filled with extreme joy.

He laughed and shouted loudly, "This overwhelming fortune has finally come to me..."

At the same time, a shocking event also occurred at a farm on the other side.

In an ordinary village, a chicken accidentally ate a mysterious Talent Spiritual Fruit.

In an instant, a miracle happened: this chicken actually transformed into a man wearing overalls and with a middle part in his hair.

The farm owner and his employees looked at this strange creature in horror; they had never seen such a marvel.

The farm owner muttered in fear, "Monster... a monster has appeared..."

"No, I must kill him, otherwise what will happen to my farm?"

Fear and doubt enveloped the hearts of the farm owner and his employees; they believed this man was a monster and had to be eliminated to protect the farm owner's peace.

However, when the farm owner and his employees tried to attack him, they found that their strength was completely no match for him.

This man easily dodged their attacks, displaying astonishing agility and strength.

His eyes revealed a sense of bewilderment, but the Qi around him sent shivers down their spines.

The farm owner and his employees began to realize that this man was no ordinary monster; he seemed to possess extraordinary abilities and wisdom.

Perhaps, he was not the threat they had imagined.

Just as the farm owner was hesitating, the man spoke.

"You need not be afraid; I have no intention of harming anyone," the man said, trying to calm the panicked people in front of him.

Then, he paused slightly, as if recalling something: "In fact, I truly was just an ordinary chicken.

However, just a while ago, a strange fruit suddenly fell from the sky. At that time, I was full of curiosity and couldn't help but take a bite."

Everyone widened their eyes, quietly listening as he continued to recount this bizarre story.

"Since then, something miraculous happened—I actually transformed into my current appearance!"

He smiled helplessly, looking around at the astonished expressions on people's faces.

Finally, he emphasized again, "Therefore, please rest assured, I will not pose a threat to you. Also, I hope you will no longer chase me with brooms; that feeling is really uncomfortable. Brooms are truly disgusting!"

The farm owner and his employees listened to his explanation, and their fear gradually turned into curiosity.

The farm owner, trembling, held the broom and slowly walked forward, his voice filled with a hint of disbelief: "You said... you were really a chicken before? And then, after eating that fruit, you turned into a human?"

The man nodded vigorously, a look of certainty on his face: "Yes, absolutely true! From now on, please don't call me chicken anymore; that's too presumptuous. I have my own name, Ni Tai Mei."

At this moment, one of the farm owner's employees heard the name and couldn't help but burst out laughing: "No way, why would you choose a name like that?"

The man rubbed the back of his head, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He recalled that when he was still a chicken, he often heard the people around him gather and say "Ni Tai Mei."

Over time, this name became deeply imprinted in his mind.

The moment he transformed into a human, he naturally decided to use this name to begin his brand new life.

And the fact proved that the name "Ni Tai Mei" was not only simple and easy to remember, but whenever others heard it, they would spontaneously show an exceptionally kind and friendly smile.
