My incredible luck and the girl I picked up

[Special attack method: ???]

[Note: I think I need to remove the "Special Attack Methods" section. After all, I'm not omnipotent; I don't know their trump cards, so I can only give you ???]

When Leng Yihan saw this note, she gave Tianyue a good scolding, saying, "How could you come up with such a witty note..."

"Alright, I suppose something unexpected must have happened to make you come back so suddenly this time," Luo Qi said, walking towards the six people and sitting down in the main seat.

“…Yes.” Leng Yihan nodded, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “…My purpose in coming here was to find something, but unfortunately, that thing is in the hands of the Demon King…”

“…Then I’m afraid I can’t help you either. If I were at the seventeenth rank, perhaps I could help you confront the Demon King. For some reason, that guy’s strength has decreased a lot, but the demons are still loyal to him. I’m afraid this is only temporary… But even so, his strength is still at the seventeenth rank. The difference between the seventeenth and sixteenth ranks is just too great,” Roach said.

"Thank you for your kind thought..." Leng Yihan felt a pang of disappointment upon hearing Luo Qi's words. It seemed that the Titans' power was indeed unusable... She was really sorry to trouble him...

"...I wonder if you'd be interested in hearing why I'm stuck at the seventeenth level?" Roach suddenly said.

The group, who had been eating spirit fruits, stopped eating and adopted a solemn demeanor.

"No, no, no... You don't need to be so serious. Just keep eating, treat it as casual conversation." Luo Qi chuckled when he saw the six people suddenly change their expressions.

Although the six of them were indeed less reserved this way, their movements were still much more elegant, and now the most important thing was to eat and listen to stories at their leisure.

Seeing the expectant looks on the six people's faces, Luo Qi sighed and then said, "Actually... the reason I'm stuck at the bottleneck between the sixteenth and seventeenth levels is because of the injury I suffered when I was young and impetuous..."

"When I left my clan to train, I encountered a powerful demon in the Forest of the Dead, one of the overlords of that Forest of the Dead—Mo Zhu, a giant spider."

"At that time, I was only at the eleventh level and fled in panic, using every means at my disposal to escape the pursuit of this fifteenth-level expert, but even so... I was still injured and poisoned by its most prized poison."

"However, due to some coincidences, I did not give up at that time. Instead, I tried my best and returned to the cave of the black bamboo with my back against the wall. I found a kind of herb that temporarily suppressed the black bamboo's venom. At that time, the black bamboo had accidentally entered the territory of other magical beasts and was fighting with another overlord-level magical beast."

"I took advantage of the chaos to escape back to my clan, but the poison had caused me immense damage. The people in my clan said that I might never be able to improve again in my life, but I still did not give up. I risked my life to return to the cave of the Ink Bamboo and stole a bunch of herbs again."

"With the herbs suppressing the venom, this actually became an opportunity for me. My strength improved rapidly, and I soon reached the third level of the fifteenth rank. Relying on my Titan bloodline advantage, I returned to the Mozhu Cave without hesitation. After a great battle with it, I dragged its entire corpse back to the clan. At the same time, I also took all the herbs that suppressed the venom. Meanwhile, I also became one of the candidates for clan leader."

"With the help of the Black Bamboo Venom, my cultivation level rose rapidly, and I eventually became the youngest sixteenth-level cultivator in the clan, thus becoming the chieftain of the Titan Clan. However, I knew that as long as the Black Bamboo Venom was not eliminated, I would never be able to surpass the seventeenth level. In the end, my cultivation level remained at the current level of sixteenth-level, ninth grade."

Everyone fell silent as they listened to Luo Qi's words.

Is he lucky or unlucky? Because of the poison of the bamboo, he gained an opportunity, but also lost the chance to step into the seventeenth level.

"...Um, can't the final venom be eliminated? Isn't Mozhu only at the fifteenth level?" Feixue asked, puzzled.

"It's not that easy. That's one of the most potent poisons of the Ink Bamboo, the last move it used on me before it died. If the poison doesn't dissipate, I'll never have the chance to reach the seventeenth rank. But I dare say that once I reach the seventeenth rank, I can definitely go directly to the fifth level of the seventeenth rank. This is the foundation I've accumulated over hundreds of years," Luo Qi said.

"Whatever you want... to find out from us if there's a way to eliminate the poison from the bamboo?" Leng Yihan revealed the key point of Luo Qi's words.

“That’s right!” Roach nodded in agreement. “That’s exactly what I mean. Once I reach the 17th rank, level 5, I’ll have the ability to fight the Demon King, who isn’t fully formed yet. At that time, I might be able to help you get back what you need from him.”

"Is that so...? It is indeed a very tempting deal... But even so... we may not have any way to help you get rid of the poison from the bamboo that you can't cure yourself." These words were spoken by Yi Tianzhai. Indeed, it's not hard to imagine how strong the poison must be if a level 16 person can't cure the poison left by a level 15 magical beast.

"No...it's not impossible..."

238 Detoxification (4)

“No…it’s not impossible…” Leng Yihan’s sudden words rekindled Luo Qi’s extinguished hope.

"Do you have a way?!" Roach asked excitedly. Even he couldn't sit still before he could break through the enormous temptation of the seventeenth level.

"I wonder if you, clan leader, have ever heard of... the fruit of the World Tree?" Leng Yihan looked up at Luo Qi and asked.

"This..." Upon hearing Leng Yihan's words, Luo Qi suddenly deflated and slowly sat down. "I know about the fruit of the World Tree... but even obtaining a small piece is incredibly difficult... I only need a small piece to cure the poison, but I can't even get that one..."

"How do we get the fruit of the World Tree?" Feixue asked curiously.

"As the name suggests, the [Fruit of the World Tree] is naturally a fruit that grows on the World Tree," Leng Yihan said.

"But let's not even talk about the difficulty of picking the World Tree fruit, just finding the World Tree itself is incredibly difficult... Even though our Titan race has reached an agreement with the World Will, he has also said that the World Tree is something that is a matter of chance, and if you don't have the right opportunity, even he can't find it..." Roach continued with a troubled expression.

“But I happen to have one here,” Leng Yihan said.

"Oh……"

"..."

Silence fell, a long silence enveloping the hall.

All six players stared at Luo Qi, eager to see how this old man with the incredibly slow reaction time would react...

"What?! You have a fruit from the World Tree?! A whole fruit?!" Roach exclaimed in surprise.

“Um…yes.” Leng Yihan nodded. “But actually, the method of obtaining it is rather strange, so I don’t know if it’s even useful…”

Yes... This was given out during the Oracle event. It had the lowest drop rate of all the prizes. Leng Yihan drew thirty or forty of them, but after thinking that should be enough, she stopped drawing.

He usually carries three with him for emergencies. The last time Leng Yihan used them was when she first came to the shattered world to face the Demon King...

"Take it out, take it out and let me see! Even if it's just a replica, it might still have the same effect!!!" Roach said excitedly.

"Okay, okay." Leng Yihan quickly opened the bag and took out the World Tree fruit from the backpack. The World Tree fruit looked green all over, much like a green apple.

"..." Leng Yihan could see Luo Qi nervously swallow, and then begin to mobilize his energy to transport it into the fruit.

Before long, the fruit began to shine, and even its color changed, gradually changing from its original green to a light gold, and finally to a pure gold.

Roach was also shocked, staring intently at the fruit in his hand that bore a striking resemblance to the golden apple...

"This, this is the real World Tree Fruit!!!" Roach exclaimed in utter shock.

"Can it cure the poison?" Leng Yihan was more concerned about this... He didn't lack the fruit; he only cared about whether it could cure the poison and help him get the things back from the Demon King.

"Yes! Absolutely! It can even help me reach a higher level!!!" Roach said excitedly.

"I'll give you the antidote, and you'll help me get my things. The deal is done!" Leng Yihan said without hesitation.

“No problem!” Luo Qi immediately replied. “I’m going into seclusion soon. If you don’t mind, you can stay with our clan for a while. You can also visit our usual training grounds, which will be beneficial to you!”

It seems this World Tree fruit is really useful to Roach... Even if he helps retrieve the secret technique, he'll probably still owe Leng Yihan a considerable favor...

"Then I'll have to trouble the clan chief."

"Extreme Cold... Where did you get that thing?" The group, accompanied by maids arranged by Luo Qi, were sitting in a carriage, slowly heading towards their residence, and it was Fei Xue who asked this question.

Actually, it wasn't just her who was curious; even Yi Tianzhai and Xiao Yulin were curious. However, they didn't dare to ask because they thought it might touch on each other's secrets. As for Kang Meng and Leng Binglan... although Kang Meng didn't say anything, she and Leng Binglan had unconditional trust in Leng Yihan, so naturally they wouldn't ask any more questions. In this way, the only one who felt comfortable asking was the carefree Feixue.

"Well done, Feixue!" Yi Tianzhai and Xiao Yulin praised inwardly.

"Oh? Fruit?" Leng Yihan said, "A long time ago, the Oracle held an event where the grand prize was fruit. I drew thirty or forty of them."

"Your luck is off the charts!" Yi Tianzhai exclaimed in surprise. "This kind of thing is very precious, right? How come it's like a cabbage on the street to you!"

"Instead of saying that, I should think about how many World Tree fruits the Oracle system actually has." Leng Yihan rolled her eyes. "The fact that Luo Qi can use it means that the World Tree fruits were not created by her. Otherwise, if she had the strength to create World Tree fruits, she could have just gone and killed the Demon King."

"Does the Oracle's system really have its own consciousness?" Yi Tianzhai asked.

“…” Leng Yihan rolled her eyes again and did not answer. However, Yi Tianzhai already knew the answer, but he just wanted to confirm with Leng Yihan.

After hearing Leng Yihan mention it, Xiao Yulin remembered such an event, but the probability of obtaining World Tree fruits was too low... so she had no recollection of this event being a source of World Tree fruits.

The group of six lived not far from Roach's residence; it was a very luxurious villa where everything was top-notch, and the six of them enjoyed themselves to the fullest.

Night fell quickly. Perhaps because of the Demon King, Leng Yihan tossed and turned in bed for a long time but couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she got up, changed her clothes, and went out for a walk.

After Leng Yihan left the room, she realized that she wasn't the only one suffering from insomnia... there was also a blonde, flat-chested girl.

"Kang Meng, good evening." Leng Yihan stepped forward and greeted him.

Kang Meng, dressed in her pajamas, stood on the balcony at the end of the corridor, looking at the scenery outside. After hearing Leng Yihan's voice, she only glanced at Leng Yihan before looking away.

"What's wrong? Can't sleep?" Leng Yihan walked over to her side and looked at the scenery of the world with her.

The pitch-black night is not just a vast expanse of darkness; countless bright stars adorn this black canvas.

“…Hmm.” Kang Meng nodded after a long silence.

"Is something on your mind?" Leng Yihan asked.

"You must have something on your mind too," Kang Meng said.

"Yes... because of the Demon King, I'm worried he might launch a surprise attack at this time, which makes me really afraid to sleep peacefully," Leng Yihan said helplessly.

“…I was thinking about Ning Yue’er.” After hesitating for a moment, Kang Meng said, “The old you… how should I put it, you were particularly fond of her, no matter how many times she betrayed you, you remained the same towards her.”

“Actually, I’m quite curious about how much of a womanizer I used to be,” Leng Yihan suddenly said.

“You know how fickle he is…” Kang Meng seemed to be complaining, “but it’s still better than things being like this…”

"Huh? What did you say?" Leng Yihan frowned, moved a little closer, but didn't hear what Kang Meng was saying.

"No...it's nothing, and also—don't get so close to me!" Kang Meng shrank to the side.

The two of them suddenly fell silent, neither of them saying a word.

"...By the way, what are you thinking about Ning Yue'er? You should...hate her, right?" Leng Yihan paused for a few seconds before returning to the previous topic.

“I don’t know either…” Kang Meng lowered her head. “I really hate her… Before I went to your world… I almost died. In the end, she appeared. I thought her appearance would bring hope, but instead she brought… despair…”

“You are still the inheritor of the Holy Light, I mean now,” Leng Yihan suddenly said.

“…Hmm.” Kang Meng didn’t expect Leng Yihan to change the subject so suddenly, but she still nodded.

"You're about to cry." Without warning, Leng Yihan reached out and wiped away the tears streaming from Kang Meng's eyes, making her blush.

"...His heart is still so fickle." Kang Meng's complaint.

"How did you spend it?" Leng Yihan retorted.

"Hmm... let me think..." Kang Meng looked at the starry sky and actually began to ponder.

"You like Lin Yin, right? And you also have Bing Lan, Sister Yu Lin, Sister Fei Xue, and... me..." Kang Meng's voice grew softer and softer until Leng Yihan couldn't hear her at all.

Although she was very curious about what she had said, seeing Kang Meng's flushed face, Leng Yihan decided not to press her for details.

"Hey, I really love Lin Yin, okay? I only see Bing Lan as a little sister... I really can't get interested in Xiao Yulin and Feixue!"

"Huh? Really? The credibility is extremely low—"

"Really?! What exactly do you mean by 'tablet'?!"

"What?! Who's a tablet, you bastard! You only dare to say that because you haven't seen it before! You'll be terrified if you have!"

"Huh? Forget about you. By the way, have you been spending too much time with Xiao Yulin and been influenced by her? You always have to argue with me..."

"What the hell?! You were the one who mentioned my tablet first, okay?!"

"Sorry, you steel plate!"
