The Little Tremor of the Sugar-Coated Hawthorn!

"Su Wan, you're possessed by the God of Luck! Come clean, did you make some kind of deal with Professor Chu? Otherwise, why is it always you who wins the draw?"

The three roommates' eyes were wide as copper bells, turning red with envy.

Su Wan lifted her chin triumphantly. "Hmph, this isn't luck, it's skill!"

This humble-brag sparked a playful scuffle among her roommates, and the dorm was instantly filled with a lively atmosphere.

Su Wan struggled to escape her roommates' clutches, then pulled out her phone with disheveled clothes and tremblingly opened the Douluo App.

The user nickname displayed was none other than--

Little Bunny Be Good!

She skillfully pointed her camera at her desk. A soft white light flashed, and a black wooden gift box appeared on the table out of thin air.

Opening the exquisite wooden box, three candied fruit skewers of different colors lay quietly inside.

Her roommates helped identify them from the side: "Blue Silver Fruit, White Spirit Fruit, and this one is... Green Bamboo Fruit! Right?"

Su Wan didn't answer. She picked up a skewer of pale green Green Bamboo Fruit, the amber-colored sugar coating gleaming alluringly under the incandescent light.

A sense of fantasy was rendered to the extreme by its magnificent exterior!

"Gulp!" ×4

Anything from Douluo had to be good stuff!

Under the adoring gazes of her roommates, Su Wan carefully brought one of the fruits to her lips.

With a crunch as the sugar coating shattered, sweet juice mixed with the fragrance of bamboo bloomed on her tongue.

A strange, cooling sensation didn't slide down her throat with her saliva, but instead surged upward into her brain.

It was a refreshing feeling far richer than mint, instantly dispelling the exhaustion Su Wan felt from staying up late. This was what it meant to feel truly refreshed and relaxed.

Her brain, which had been frazzled by her summer internship, felt as if it had been washed clean by clear water; she could even hear the rustling sound of wind blowing through bamboo leaves in her ears!

"This feels amazing!" Su Wan exclaimed excitedly, praising it repeatedly.

"Sister Su, let me have a taste, just one bite! I'll trade you a year's worth of milk tea!"

"Sister Su!" ×2

Su Wan quickly hugged the gift box to her chest, protecting it like a rare treasure. "No way, no way! I don't even have enough for myself."

"Stingy!" ×3

"Ugh, why am I so useless? If I'd known, I would've reposted more lucky koi fish earlier!"

"The price on the secondhand platform has already broken ten thousand, and it's still a case of having money but nowhere to buy."

Su Wan bit into her second Green Bamboo Fruit, squinting her eyes in bliss and ignoring her roommates' resentful gazes.

Meanwhile.

Special Incident Investigation Bureau.

They didn't have to waste effort collecting livestream gifts this time; whether it was due to sheer luck or not, two staff members in the bureau had won the candied fruit gift boxes.

In a laboratory, over a dozen top biologists and chemists were gathered around precision testing instruments, their faces filled with shock.

"The test results are in!"

Chief Researcher Professor Li held the freshly printed report, his voice trembling.

"The main components are sucrose, fiber... and extracts from the pulp of three unknown plants. The most incredible part is--"

He pointed to a set of data specially marked on the report, his hand unable to stop shaking.

"We detected various low-concentration bioactive polysaccharide complexes in the pulp of this so-called Green Bamboo Fruit. The molecular weight of one of them is approximately...

"It seems to possess extremely strong antioxidant activity and neurotransmitter regulatory effects. It can penetrate the blood-brain barrier within 30 seconds, significantly increasing the excitability of the cerebral cortex, and at the same time... it can clear free radicals from the body."

The assistant beside him recorded this: "Professor, does that mean it can not only refresh the mind but also delay aging?"

"It has a certain effect, at least according to current experimental results."

Professor Li nodded.

"We haven't detected any harmful substances or side effects yet. The structure of this polysaccharide complex is something we've never seen before; it's truly miraculous. I suggest we apply for a higher-level laboratory!"

"I agree!"

"Me too!"

In the office, Wang Jianjun took the summary report from the experts, fell silent for a moment, and lit a cigarette.

Two handwritten words on the report were particularly eye-catching--

Fruit pit!

That's right, the fruit from the candied skewer actually had a pit!

Unfortunately, it had gone through the high heat of the sugar syrup.

Wang Jianjun stubbed out his cigarette, his palm finally resting on a red telephone.

The largest secondhand trading platform in the country.

The search volume for "Douluo Candied Hawthorn" completely eclipsed that of the previous rabbit-ear hair accessories.

With tens of thousands of prizes drawn this time, a significant number naturally flowed into the trading market.

Although the demand far outweighed the supply and items were snapped up in seconds, the heat it generated was unprecedented!

Someone even posted a trade offer for "an apartment in the city center," followed by thousands of "looking for the same" comments from all over the country.

This cross-dimensional sweet storm not only swept through Xia Country but also ignited a "candied hawthorn fever" on a global scale.

On international e-commerce platforms, posts for "Douluo Candied Hawthorn purchasing agents" exceeded one hundred thousand within half an hour.

Twittor, TikTek, and Instagran were flooded simultaneously—

"#TangHulu," "#DouluoReal," and "#MagicCandy."

These familiar yet strange hashtags surged to the top of global trending lists.

Eagle Sauce netizen Rose wrote on Twittor: "Whoever can help me buy a string of magic candied hawthorns, I am willing to... (omitting some parts that should be omitted)."

The Island Country's anime forums were also in a complete frenzy.

Countless artists worked through the night to create various illustrations of Douluo delicacies, with models like Xiao Wu, Dugu Yan, and Ye Lingling firmly occupying the center stage.

Jean-Pierre, a famous food blogger from Wuji Country, drooled exaggeratedly at the screen during his livestream:

"Oh, my God, this is simply a work of art! I must go and taste this magical candy myself!"

Countless foreign netizens were also learning about this traditional delicacy from the East for the first time, deeply captivated by its beautiful appearance and the exaggerated rumors of its magical effects.

Lin Xiaoyu also noticed the grand spectacle online, her eyes shining with pride as she said sincerely:

"Never before has any streamer been able to have such a massive influence like Truman! Who would have thought that the whole world would go crazy over a string of candied hawthorns!"

[Boohoo~, telling everyone some bad news, the price of hawthorn in the market has gone up!]

[What's that? White sugar futures are even more exciting!]

[I only know that I just went out to buy a string of candied hawthorns and spent a full twenty big ocean dollars; truly, there is no merchant who isn't a crook!]

The giveaway ended, and no matter how much of a stir it caused in the real world, The Truman Show remained calm and peaceful.

"It's getting late, we should head back!"

The night market behind them was still bustling, but Truman felt a bit tired.

He stood up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and stretched heartily.

It felt as if he had set down a heavy burden of a thousand pounds!

Seeing this, Xiao Wu couldn't help but yawn, rubbed her little eyes, and said in a soft, sweet voice:

"Weird uncle, I'm a bit sleepy too!"

"If you're sleepy, just climb on my back, I'll carry you back!"

Truman turned to the beautiful little snake and the soft, cute healer and said: "You two should head back early as well; this Heaven Dou City is becoming less and less peaceful."

"Won't you see us off?" Dugu Yan said coquettishly.

As soon as she finished speaking, her cheeks flushed red; she wanted to explain herself, but couldn't find the words.

She could only curse herself inwardly for being so spineless!

Truman had no objections: "Sure! I haven't been to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy yet!"
