The fruit produced this time actually contained as much energy as a King-Rank Crystal.
It wasn't as helpful to Chen Luo as a Space King-Rank Crystal, but it was more effective than King-Rank Crystals of other types.
And all it had cost him was three basically useless King-Rank Corpses.
Ones whose skulls had already been cracked open, at that.
Never mind anything else—finding a few dozen King-Rank Corpses in the days ahead wouldn't be too difficult for Chen Luo.

The giant tree sounded a little stunned. "Right! Why didn't I think of secretly keeping some? I'm such an idiot."
Now it was Chen Luo's turn to be stunned. Was this tree too honest, or was its acting
