Zhou Xiaoyue said, "If it were nighttime, the light emitted by these sprites would surely be beautiful."
Hearing this, Su Han suddenly wanted to try and see if the Tree of Life would be a starry spectacle at night.
"Number 1, can we stay until night?" Su Han asked.
Chu Shi directly refused, "Impossible. Our vision through the portal becomes very difficult at night. After all, there are no such positioning functions in this world."
Su Han immediately understood.
"Yes, that's true. In this world, even if we brought those positioning devices, we couldn't use them anyway. This world has no satellites, etc. Let's just look around here and then go back!"
At this moment, Su Han and the others looked up continuously at the Tree of Life.
Besides the sprites meditating and cultivating on the Tree of Life, there were also some sprites walking around amongst its branches.
Su Han found the sprites walking around to be somewhat strange. They walked back and forth, and even when they reached a spot unoccupied by other sprites, they didn't sit down to meditate.
Su Han picked up a telescope and looked up. After observing for a moment, Su Han focused his gaze on a particular sprite.
That sprite walked towards the far end of a branch.
It walked further and further, and soon reached the leaves of the Tree of Life. The sprite weaved through the leaves. Soon, it reached a fruit of the Tree of Life, then the sprite stretched out its hand and picked the fruit.
So, the sprites that were weaving through the branches were picking the fruits of the Tree of Life.
After collecting the fruits, the sprites brought them to a main branch and put them into a basket.
Once one basket was full, another sprite would carry the basket and begin to descend the tree.
"Hmm! They're collecting the fruits of the Tree of Life there. Let's go take a look!" Su Han said.
Su Han and the others walked for another two to three kilometers, finally arriving at the base of the trunk. At this point, they finally saw the trunk of the Tree of Life. The diameter of the base of the Tree of Life's trunk was about two hundred meters, already as thick as a large building.
As Su Han had guessed, at the base of the trunk, several sprites were packing the fruits of the Tree of Life.
Dozens of baskets were filled with the fruits of the Tree of Life.
The surrounding sprites, seeing Su Han and his companions arrive, couldn't help but cast many glances at the six of them.
"It seems like there are really a lot of fruits from the Tree of Life. This should be the harvest season for the Tree of Life's fruits!" Su Han said.
Chu Shi walked over and asked, "There are so many fruits from your Tree of Life. Is the harvest season for the Tree of Life's fruits always around this time? (Elvish)"
A sprite captain who was directing the collection of fruits nearby said, "Yes. That's right, this time period is the harvest season for the fruits of the Tree of Life. (Elvish)"
Chu Shi continued to ask, "After collecting so many fruits, are they sold? (Elvish)"
"Half are sold, and half are distributed to the native sprites in Gabo City. Every year during the harvest season, the native sprites of Gabo City receive one fruit from the Tree of Life. (Elvish)"
Chu Shi continued to ask, "What if the Tree of Life doesn't have a good harvest one year? (Elvish)"
"That situation will not happen. The Tree of Life always has a good harvest every year. (Elvish)"
"Then how much does each fruit from the Tree of Life cost? (Elvish)"
"Well, for you, as outsiders, the selling price for one fruit from the Tree of Life is sixty thousand elf coins. (Elvish)"
...
After Chu Shi finished his conversation, he relayed the gist of it to Su Han and the others.
"Hmm. I didn't expect the fruits at the origin tree to have the same price. In that case, let's pick one fruit from the Tree of Life to buy here. Let's choose the largest one," Su Han said.
Then, the group began to select from the packed baskets of fruits.
After some selection, all six of them chose what they believed to be the largest fruit from the Tree of Life.
"Look, this fruit from the Tree of Life is the biggest, isn't it!" Ye Fan said.
"Mine is even bigger!" Xiao Yan also said.
The size of the fruits from the Tree of Life was about the size of a dragon fruit. And all these fruits from the Tree of Life looked very similar. But in reality, there were still some differences in the size of these fruits. A difference of ten to twenty grams was possible.
Su Han and the other five picked out six fruits from the Tree of Life based on their own judgment.
Chu Shi took a look and said, "The fruit from the Tree of Life in my hand is the heaviest. The volume of the fruit from the Tree of Life in Number 0's hand is the largest."
"Hmm, it seems that the volume of these fruits from the Tree of Life doesn't necessarily equate to their weight. These fruits from the Tree of Life are quite strange!" Su Han said.
"Then which fruit should we buy?" Xiao Yan asked.
At this point, Chu Shi said, "Let's buy the fruit in Number 0's hand."
"What a pity. I wonder if we can eat these fruits. If we can, we could just eat one each," Ye Fan said.
At this moment, Su Han said, "Actually, there is a way. You just need to try eating one to find out. Maybe we won't die if we eat them!"
"Hahaha, such a thing really shouldn't be joked about!" Ye Fan said.
Chu Shi said with a serious expression, "This is actually a good proposal. Let's try it when we get back! We should buy another fruit from the Tree of Life!"
"What? You really want me to try eating one?" Ye Fan was extremely surprised.
"No, you are our important combat power. I'm looking for someone else. By the way, let's buy a few more. Let's buy all six fruits from the Tree of Life. After all, these fruits don't take up too much portable space. It will also be very helpful for our Dragon Country to research items from this magic world."
Su Han naturally agreed, "Yes, buy whatever you want! The mission to defeat the dragon will not be affected."
Following this, Su Han began to browse through various shops in Gabo City.
In a magic staff shop, Su Han and his companions bought a magic staff. At the same time, Su Han and the others bought a few magic robes elsewhere. As for those artworks and other items, Su Han and the others didn't buy anything. After all, these handicrafts held little value for Su Han and his companions at the moment.
Thus, at 5 PM, Su Han and his companions, carrying some items purchased from Gabo City, boarded a plane and began their return journey.
Just like when they arrived, after flying for several hours, they returned to the portal before sunset.
Then, Su Han and the others passed through the portal and returned to the base of the Otherworld Development Department in the Dinosaur World.
Not even an hour after returning to the Otherworld Development Department, Chu Shi came to them.
"Vice Minister Su Han, something has happened in the magic world."
