The Sensation of Level 8 Fruit (Part 2)

The testing of the level 8 fruit had begun. While only one level 9 fruit had been tested previously, the entire galaxy knew that the gene health boost from the first day’s test was exactly half of the total increase that would be achieved after consuming all the fruits. So, by the end of the first day, people could estimate how much their gene health would improve.

Everyone waited with eager anticipation.

This time, the level 8 fruit was also an apple. The soldier who ate it enjoyed it thoroughly; from Ye Mo’s perspective, the taste of the level 8 fruit was already acceptable. However, for the entire galaxy, the level 8 fruit was considered delicious.

After the soldier finished eating, everyone anxiously awaited the results.

“How much will the level 8 fruit improve health?”

“I’m not sure, but I hope it’s a lot. I’m planning to join the rush to buy this time!”

“I’m afraid I won’t get one. I heard the internet speed on Kamo Star is faster.”

“Of course, the closer you are, the faster the connection.”

“It’s under the jurisdiction of the Eighth Army!”

“My classmate’s brother is stationed there under General Mo; I wonder if I can ask him to help me buy a batch?”

“I doubt it!”

The Eighth Army’s jurisdiction was widely known across the galaxy, and so was the fact that General Mo, the commander of the Eighth District, was the youngest and most handsome general in the galaxy.

Many noble ladies flocked to the Yuandu Star of the Eighth District, as it was the closest to Nanyu Star, the Eighth Army’s base. They all hoped to have a chance encounter with General Mo.

Unfortunately, General Mo always traveled by spacecraft, so even those who made it to Yuandu Star couldn’t meet him, which left them quite disappointed.

Now, the Eighth District had gained even more attention due to the emergence of a transcendent plant master. This master’s presence made the Eighth District a highly coveted star domain.

People were already considering whether to relocate to Kamo Star, as the master seemed to have no plans of leaving.

After the soldier finished eating the fruit, about half an hour passed, and no one on the star network was chatting—everyone was glued to the screen, not wanting to miss the test results.

After half an hour, the soldier retested his gene health. It had increased from 15% to 19%, although the fertility value remained zero. The significant boost in gene health caused a sensation.

Even interstellar medicines couldn’t achieve such noticeable effects, and people began to imagine the possibilities.

“Do you think level 7 fruit will be even more powerful?”

“Will everyone have a chance to eat these fruits in the future?”

“I think we should ask the master if they can grow more fruits.”

 Only by growing more could the master sell them to everyone.

“If level 8 fruit has such a big effect, what about level 1 fruit? Would one piece be enough to work miracles?”

Some ultra-wealthy families even publicly stated they would pay 100 million star coins for a level 2 fruit. As for level 1, they didn’t dare to dream of it.

100 million star coins for a level 2 fruit? Was this price reasonable?

Currently, how much is a batch of level 8 fruit?

Ye Mo noticed something interesting: in the mall where she had set up her shop, some people were offering high prices to buy level 8 fruit, ranging from 1 million to 1.5 million per batch, with the highest bid reaching 1.8 million.

Ye Mo pondered for a moment. She initially planned to set the price at 1 million, but since people were offering higher prices, she decided to accommodate them.

Soon enough, she fulfilled all the orders above 1.5 million.

The galaxy’s citizens noticed that some people had already started flaunting their level 8 fruits but refused to say how they had acquired them.

Quickly, some spotted the high-priced purchase requests in the master’s marketplace. There were offers of up to 1.5 million per batch, but those had all been bought, leaving only the lower-priced orders below 1.5 million.

In short, all orders above 1.5 million were completed, implying someone had already sold the Grade-8 fruit at those prices.

Soon, others posted offers as high as 1.8 million star coins. Those at 1.5 million didn’t dare to post again, knowing the current highest bid was 1.8 million. The marketplace, eager to survive, set the minimum asking price at 1.8 million.

Ye Mo noticed that someone had even posted an offer of 2 million.

Ye Mo quickly fulfilled those orders too. She had never specified her selling strategy; since people were willing to pay high prices, she would sell accordingly. Selling cheaply would only lead to others reselling at higher prices, so why not sell them herself?

Meanwhile, General Mo had Yan Mingxiu leave a message for Ye Mo in her shop, as there was no other way to contact her.

Ye Mo immediately connected with Yan Mingxiu.

“Master, General Mo wishes to speak with you. Are you available?”

“Oh? What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the level 8 fruit!” Yan Mingxiu explained, “Master, many soldiers in the army are suffering severe genetic collapse due to their commitment to defending our home. General Mo wishes to discuss the level 8 fruit with you.”

Ye Mo asked Yan Mingxiu to leave her General Mo’s contact information.

When Ye Mo called General Mo, she found his voice oddly familiar.

“General Mo!”

“Master, I hope you can sell us some level 8 fruits. Many of my soldiers are struggling.” The last batch of level 9 fruits was split among the soldiers, but demand far exceeded supply.

“Sure! I have 100 batches left. I’ll sell 50 to you for 1.51 million per batch. How does that sound?” This price wasn’t high, considering her lowest completed order was 1.51 million per batch.

General Mo agreed and expressed his immense gratitude.

As for the remaining 50 batches, Ye Mo listed them at 200,000 per piece.

Though a whole batch had the best effect, many in the galaxy were not that wealthy, and the master had limited fruit. With billions competing for a few hundred batches, the competition was fierce.

So, citizens would greatly value even buying one piece to boost their gene health.

On the fifth day before the level 8 fruit experiment was completed, Ye Mo handed Yan Mingxiu a batch of level 7 fruits.

When General Mo announced this, it caused an uproar across the galaxy.

The level 7 fruit had been released so quickly; it felt as though the master’s pace was accelerating.

The first day’s results for the level 7 fruit showed a 6-point increase in gene health, meaning consuming one batch would improve health by 12%.

Some started bidding for the level 7 fruit, offering 5 million on the website, but Ye Mo paid no attention. She had set her initial price at 7 million per batch, so 5 million was out of the question.
