92: Humph, mortal!

… … … …

Inside Mao Yushi's dilapidated house on Sihuan Island.

Mao Yushi gazed at the fiery red Talent Spiritual Fruit resting on the table, falling into a long silence.

After reading the diary, he naturally understood just how powerful the Talent Spiritual Fruit's abilities truly were!

With such a massive temptation right before him, it was false to say he didn't want to eat it.

However, the main reason he had been hesitant to eat it was because he was wondering if someone like him was truly suitable to consume such a powerful Spiritual Fruit.

Facing the coming spiritual energy tide and the future events that would determine the survival of humanity, such a Spiritual Fruit should be more needed by the State…

And so, he kept hesitating, which resulted in the Spiritual Fruit still not being eaten.

At this moment, Li Mu, who was in Huping Mountain, opened the System with a hint of confusion, wanting to check Mao Yushi's status and see why he still hadn't eaten the Talent Spiritual Fruit after so long!

However, when the video opened and he saw Mao Yushi in the video, he casually cast an Appraisal skill.

The next moment, all of Mao Yushi's information appeared before Li Mu's eyes.

After reading Mao Yushi's information, Li Mu suddenly understood and also found it very reasonable!

A person like him, who had dedicated almost his entire life to his State, might indeed choose to hand over such a spiritual item as the Talent Spiritual Fruit.

This was something Li Mu hadn't thought of at first; it was his oversight.

Thinking of this now, Li Mu frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

He greatly admired a person like Mao Yushi!

However, the Talent Spiritual Fruit had already been given to him, and how he chose to act was his freedom.

… … … …

On Sihuan Island, the staff delivering supplies to Mao Yushi arrived again with provisions, but this time, their faces showed a hint of helplessness.

When Mao Yushi saw his expression, he casually asked, “What's wrong? Did something happen?”

The staff member shook his head, then shrugged and said, “It's not that anything happened.”

“It's just that this morning, the officials suddenly issued an order for all Cities nationwide to go on alert, and all kinds of supplies need to be delivered.”

“Idle positions like ours, which originally had very little workload, are now almost exhausted like dogs. We don't even know what's going on.”

Hearing this, Mao Yushi fell silent. He had read the diary, so he naturally knew what was happening.

At the same time, Mao Yushi also felt a little surprised, but he quickly reacted and immediately thought that perhaps some people in the official circles also possessed a copy of this mysterious diary!

He had lived on Sihuan Island for decades, cut off from the outside world. The only people he could talk to were these staff members who delivered supplies.

They were also the only channel through which he could get information about the outside world.

The staff member continued to grumble while moving supplies with Mao Yushi, but Mao Yushi, who was also moving boxes beside him, remained silent throughout, constantly making choices in his heart.

It wasn't until all the supplies were moved and the staff member was about to leave that Mao Yushi called out to him.

Then he said with a firm tone, “Can you contact your superior for me? I have something very important to report, and it's urgent!”

At this moment, Li Mu, who was in Huping Mountain, sighed slightly when he saw this scene through the System, even though he had guessed it.

He then closed Mao Yushi's page, opened Wang Cao's page, and began to plan Wang Cao's affairs.

… … … …

Meanwhile, in the direction of the Capital, inside the Grand Elder's office.

All the Elders were present, discussing and constantly issuing instructions to the sectors they were responsible for!

All were preparing for the imminent spiritual energy tide.

However, just then, there was a sudden knock on the door from outside.

The sound quickly attracted the attention of all the Elders in the office, and their gazes all turned towards the door.

The Grand Elder frowned at this moment. It was the most tense period, and he had previously instructed not to disturb him unless it was something important!

Now that the door was knocked, it seemed that something major had probably happened outside!

He then directly said, “Come in!”

As soon as his voice fell, the door immediately opened, and the Grand Elder's guard appeared before the Elders.

“Grand Elder, information has come from below: the tower keeper of Sihuan Island discovered a Talent Spiritual Fruit and has handed it over. It is currently being sent towards the Capital!”

As the Grand Elder's guard, he naturally knew about these matters concerning the Talent Spiritual Fruit.

“What?!”

In an instant, all the Elders' eyes lit up.

It was precisely a time when strength was needed, and the appearance of a Talent Spiritual Fruit could maintain peace in one area under the current circumstances!

The Second Elder asked, “The tower keeper of Sihuan Island… is his name Mao Yushi?”

A position like tower keeper would not ordinarily be noticed by Elders.

However, Mao Yushi was an exception; he had held his post for decades, and the Second Elder had learned about him by chance.

And after learning about Mao Yushi's situation, he also felt great admiration!

The guard nodded: “Yes!”

“When he handed it over, he said that the State needed this fruit more than he did.”

Hearing this, almost all the Elders immediately thought of one thing: Mao Yushi also possessed a diary, so he knew the value of the Talent Spiritual Fruit!

However, upon realizing this, the Elders were all moved.

This Mao Yushi clearly knew the value of the Talent Spiritual Fruit, yet he was still able to resist the temptation and hand it over.

Such a person truly is…

In an instant, everyone's admiration for Mao Yushi increased by several points.

An ordinary profession, achieving an extraordinary life!

Then the Grand Elder said to one of the Elders, “Immediately select the most suitable candidate for this Spiritual Fruit!”

This Elder did not delay and immediately went to make arrangements.

The Second Elder also said at this time, “I just don't know what ability this Talent Spiritual Fruit has. If it's another fruit like Lan Kun's, which can control natural phenomena, that would be great…”

The Grand Elder, however, shook his head with a smile and said, “This kind of Spiritual Fruit is probably considered very powerful among all Talent Spiritual Fruits. How could such a high-level Spiritual Fruit be obtained so easily?”

“However, even a Spiritual Fruit like Zhao He's is very good!”

“It's just that all Talent Spiritual Fruits look the same, and their abilities are all random. No one knows what the ability is until it's eaten.”

Hearing the Grand Elder's words, the Second Elder also nodded with a smile: “That's true…”

… … … …

On the other side, Wang Cao's Dad was driving, Wang Cao Ma was in the passenger seat, and Wang Cao was sullenly sitting in the back seat.

Beside him was a backpack filled with homework.

He really wanted to throw that backpack directly out the car window, but he was under pressure from the two 'enforcers' in the front.

Wang Cao looked at the rapidly receding scenery outside the car window, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

He really wanted to shout: Forge my battle sword, ascend to the Nine Heavens, spill my hot blood, advance without fear.

But alas…

If he really said that, he would probably be met with eye rolls from those two 'enforcers' again.

Hmph, Mortals!
