In the Age of Gods and Demons, I evolved into the final boss.

Chapter 75 The Unpredictability of Fate

Second-grade, poisonous!

However, it also contains medicinal power that can strengthen the body and expand the meridians, indicating that it can be plundered. It's just unknown whether it's possible to plunder only the essence of the medicinal power.

Thinking of this, Chen Zheng opened the equipment cover and picked up the green fruit.

All Spirits Plunder, Begin!

The scene in Chen Zheng's eyes changed, and the whole world became colorful, with the green fruit shining brightly in his eyes.

Inside, wisps of smoke swirled, enveloping a core of green energy.

The energy that resembles mist is poison, while the core energy is spiritual essence. Chen Zheng smiled.

The essence of spiritual energy is not entangled with the deadly poison, so it can be plundered, but one must be careful.

After putting away the results, Chen Zheng deleted the analysis data, returned the lab, and it was almost seven o'clock when he walked out of the laboratory building.

As darkness fell, the streetlights came on.

Once we get back, we'll test the medicinal effects of the green fruit.

The price of a second-grade elixir is between five and ten times that of a first-grade elixir, depending on its properties and effects; the better the effect, the more expensive it is.

Just as Chen Zheng was calculating the resources he had just acquired, a figure appeared in front of him.

"Chen Zheng?"

"Xu, what are you doing here?" Chen Zheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect to run into Xu Hui here, and then he noticed the changes in Xu Hui.

Her smooth, shoulder-length short hair had outward curls at the ends, and the hair in front of her forehead was swept up to reveal her beautiful face, making her look more flamboyant and confident than usual.

She was wearing a red sleeveless, high-waisted mini dress that perfectly showcased her curvaceous figure.

Her fair arms, long and straight legs, and red short skirt exuded a captivating feminine charm in the dim light.

"I moved to the school today and am getting familiar with the environment. Shall we take a walk together?" Xu Hui extended an invitation.

"Okay." Chen Zheng did not refuse.

Similar to the Department of Runes, the Department of Materials Science and Engineering is shaded by trees, with a relaxed atmosphere. Students stroll along the road or sit under the streetlights reading and studying.

Xu Hui walked side by side with Chen Zheng, her hands behind her back, making her already full breasts look even more imposing, and Chen Zheng couldn't help but glance at her slightly.

At this moment, Xu Hui whispered, "You know what, Chen Zheng, I almost thought I was going to die again this morning."

Chen Zheng looked at Xu Hui: "Was it dangerous at the time?"

"Yes, that cultist descended from the sky and instantly destroyed the front of the bus, turning several passengers into a shower of minced meat."

"If that cultist had landed at a slightly more backward angle..." Xu Hui said, a hint of fear showing on her face.

"As the saying goes, those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune. This time, we can only say that you, Xu, are incredibly lucky. Now, all that's left is to look forward to your meteoric rise."

Xu Hui shook her head: "What can I, an ordinary rune major student, use to fly?"

"However, today's experience has taught me a lot."

"How so?"

Xu Hui looked at Chen Zheng: "For example, life is unpredictable, and no one knows what will happen next, so just do what you want to do without worrying about anything else."

Chen Zheng nodded: "Indeed, fate is unpredictable, so living well in the present is the most important thing."

Then Chen Zheng casually asked, "Xu, you used to be a day student, but this time you're living at school. Is it because of what happened this morning that your family is worried about your safety?"

"I have no family left." Xu Hui's words made Chen Zheng pause.

Xu Hui said softly, "My parents left when I was very young. Half a year ago, on the day I received my admission letter from Jiangzhou University, my grandmother never woke up from her afternoon nap."

Uh…! Chen Zheng never expected that Xu Hui, who seemed cheerful and beautiful, would be in such a miserable state.

Chen Zheng's tone softened slightly: "When your grandmother passed away, she must have had a smile on her face. Getting into Jiangzhou University means that your life will have a great start."

Xu Hui tilted her head, somewhat surprised: "Chen Zheng, you were right. My grandma did have a smile on her face at the time."

"But her passing was so sudden that I couldn't get over it for a long time. I got used to taking the bus to and from work every day and could only fall asleep when I was back in a familiar environment."

"I only suddenly felt relieved after waking up in the hospital this morning."

As she spoke, Xu Hui looked at Chen Zheng and asked curiously, "Chen Zheng, what about you? You have a genius younger brother and family, so you must have had a very happy childhood."

"...I guess you could call it happiness."

"What do you mean?"

Because Xu Hui took the initiative to 'share' some of her past, Chen Zheng also did not hide anything about his 'family': 'Chen Ye and I are actually half-brothers.'

"When I was eight years old, my current 'father' took me to the Chen family. Because I have no memory of my previous life, I don't know if I have parents or who they are."

"Then, not long after, my current father disappeared, and then we received an official death notice."

"But thankfully, my mother treats me very well now, and I have a good relationship with my younger brother, so I would say I should consider myself lucky."

After that, the two fell silent.

Xu Hui was at a loss for words. She hadn't expected Chen Zheng's background to be so complicated, and she felt a strange sense of sympathy for him.

Chen Zheng was distracted. He had just vaguely sensed some unusual activity coming from the Abyss Body and vaguely felt something tearing and growing out from its back.

Wings, dragon wings!

The light ahead was bright; it was the school's commercial street, next to the night market, a designated area for students to relax and enjoy activities.

The streets are lined with night market stalls selling toys, handicrafts, jewelry, juice, flower arrangements, and more.

But everyone here is a college student, who would buy toys?

Xu Hui pointed to a juice stand: "Let me buy you a drink, Chen Zheng. Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you for saving my life on the last day of the trial."

Chen Zheng came to his senses and shook his head, saying, "Saving your life is a bit of an exaggeration. You were protected by the Eye of Eternity at the time, and you would have been fine even if I hadn't intervened."

"Besides, you were in danger to help me search for mutated creatures, so I'll help you out of both compassion and reason."

"no the same."

Xu Hui didn't explain how it was different, but when she came to the juice stand, she said to the ordinary-looking senior, "Senior, two cups of juice, please."

"Which kind do you want?"

"I have plum juice, half-moon fruit juice, and flame fruit juice here..." As the senior introduced the fruits, the two noticed the fruits at her stall.

Each one was a variety that neither of them had ever seen before, and as for the taste...

The senior student smiled and said, "Don't worry, I've tasted all these fruits that I found in other dimensions. They're non-toxic and have very unique flavors."

"...Then I'll have a cup of Half Moon Fruit."

"This fruit called 'Flowing Flame' looks good, senior, I want this one."

With the assurance of their senior, the two ultimately each chose one.

Sipping their juice, the two strolled slowly through the commercial street and noticed that the items sold by the senior students at the stalls were somewhat unusual, mostly from other dimensions.

Of course, these are all ordinary items found while exploring ruins; their only value lies in the cultural attributes they carry.

After wandering around for a long time, it was already past eight o'clock when I got back to the rune system dormitory area.

Standing outside Xu Hui's dormitory building, Chen Zheng waved and said, "See you tomorrow, Xu."

Xu Hui, with her hands behind her back, suddenly turned her head and asked, "Chen Zheng, are we friends?"

"……Calculate."

Xu Hui blinked: "Then you can just call me by my name from now on. Calling me 'classmate' always sounds a bit too formal. Don't refuse, okay?"

"Okay." Chen Zheng nodded.

"See you tomorrow, Chen Zheng."

The girl walked briskly into the building, her long, straight legs appearing as white as ivory under the lights…

Ahem, Chen Zheng withdrew his gaze.

Back in the dormitory, the deliveryman was already waiting at the entrance. Chen Zheng signed the form, verified the documents, and then carried the twenty-eight fire orchids into the dormitory.

Tonight he plans to push the Wild Bull Body Refinement to its current limit.
