At night, the breeze blows through the canopy of the trees, causing bursts of rustling sounds.
The sky is high and the clouds are clear at night, but for some reason it is difficult to see the stars. In New York, the brightest things are not the stars, but the lights.
Cao Gui drove a Ford pickup truck and slowly entered the community in New Jersey. It was already midnight, and the entire community, except for some nocturnal animals, had already fallen asleep.
However, the engine noise of the Ford driven by Cao Gui was a bit loud, which still attracted a lot of people's attention. People who live here usually use commercial vehicles, and there are very few pickup trucks.
Sitwell planned to allocate a car to Cao Gui and let him solve the problem of returning home, but Cao Gui refused. He didn't want to use SHIELD's car. Who knows if there were trackers or bugs in it.
Back in the bedroom, Gwen rolled up the quilt and slept soundly. It looked like she was sleeping soundly. Cao Gui saw this and tiptoed into the bathroom. After washing up, he slowly got into the quilt.
Although the trip to Mexico is not tiring, it is indeed a bit tiring in the final analysis.
After giving Gwen a gentle kiss on the face, Cao Gui lay down.
However, at this time, when the quilt was turned over, Gwen sat up and threw herself on Cao Gui: "Ah! Bastard, why do you only kiss me once?"
Cao Gui: "...how many kisses will it take?"
"Every time."
"From top to bottom?"
"uh-huh!"
"From front to back?"
"Damn it, stop pushing, move your mouth quickly...ah haha..."
…
Three hours later, Gwen lay on top of Cao Gui with a blushing face. Cao Gui stroked her back and smiled contemptuously, Ha, woman!
You just know how to show off your authority!
However, after being tossed by Gwen, Cao Gui suddenly stopped feeling sleepy. He clicked on the system panel and clicked on the exchange column.
The threshold for redeeming Devil Fruits is very high. The starting price is 100 million, 100 million is the first tier, 150 million is the first tier, 200 million is another tier, and 250 million is the other tier.
However, the highest Devil Fruit is 300 million. With a merit value of 300 million, it is basically the top fantasy beast species. The Blue Dragon Fruit, Vampire Fruit, and even the Human Fruit Buddha form are all in this category.
In addition, there are two more, the rubber fruit and the surgical fruit. The merit value required for these two fruits is a full 500 million.
As for other natural types such as Rock Berry Fruit, Frozen Fruit, and Sparkling Fruit, or top-level superhuman types such as Soul Fruit and Shock Fruit, they are in the 250 million range.
Fortunately, Cao Gui's savings were enough to cover these top-notch fruits.
So the question is, which fruit should we choose?
In fact, what Cao Gui was looking forward to at the beginning was actually the vampire fruit. This fruit did not perform well in the original work. In the hands of Redfield, it also served as a tool to restore strength. The real combat effectiveness is unknown.
But its abilities: eternal life and youth, are really too tempting.
Secondly, what Cao Gui wants is the Green Dragon Fruit. This fruit can give the esper a super strong body and the three attributes of wind, fire and thunder.
Although Kaido's powerful fighting ability is mostly attributed to his invincible physique and super domineering power, the power of this fruit cannot be ignored.
However, after contacting those in Asgard, Cao Gui finally remembered that this is the Marvel world and there is no domination!
This means that elementable nature is absolutely invincible to a certain extent.
Realizing this, Cao Gui completely gave up the idea of fantasy beast species. In comparison, the natural species is absolutely delicious!
"System, redeem Devil Fruit..." Cao Gui slid his fingers and browsed continuously on the system panel. The fruits passed in front of Cao Gui one after another, and finally stopped on a blue-white fruit with a spiral lightning pattern.
Thunder Fruit!
"System, redeem Devil Fruit: Thunder Fruit!"
[The host needs to spend 250 million merit points to redeem Devil Fruit: Thunder Fruit, please confirm]
"confirm!"
With a flash of white light, the Thunder Fruit appeared in Cao Gui's hand.
After shaking his head, Cao Gui smacked his lips: "This thing is quite heavy..."
After glancing at Gwen beside him, Cao Gui came to the living room. Although there was no danger, he still had to be careful.
"How...how do you eat this thing?" Cao Gui's face twitched. There was no instruction manual for this thing. The thunder fruit was about the same size as his head, so he couldn't swallow it in one bite, right?
After a moment of silence, Cao Gui opened his mouth and bit into it. With a click, a big gap suddenly appeared on the Thunder Fruit.
Cao Gui chewed it gently in his mouth, and his face suddenly turned from white to red, from red to green, and from green to black. It was colorful and wonderful in an instant.
With a gulp sound, Cao Gui endured his nausea and swallowed the pulp.
"Ah... damn, it tastes really bad..." Cao Gui stuck out his tongue, a mask of pain on his face.
There are rumors that this thing is as unpalatable as Lao Ba's food. Cao Gui will not comment on this, after all, he has never eaten it, but Devil Fruit is definitely the most unpalatable thing Cao Gui has ever eaten.
The moment you bite into it, a rotten smell mixed with the smell of rotten eggs hits the sky. The sourness is simply indescribable. The only thing to be thankful for is that the fruit has a very crisp texture, which greatly reduces the taste of Cao Gui.
degree of nausea.
Holding back his nausea, Cao Gui opened his mouth again and ate all the remaining pulp. He didn't know the difference between taking just one bite and eating all of it. What if he was stronger after eating them all?
Think about the characters in the original work. Bucky swallowed the whole split fruit and became the Yonko. Luffy chewed the whole rubber fruit and was about to become the Pirate King.
On the other hand, Kaku, Kalifa, and Redfield only took a small bite. They were dead and injured. Cao Gui didn't dare to gamble.
As for what Oda said, just take the first bite... Haha, Oda is a cartoonist and a pirate who knows shit.
After a few clicks, Cao Gui's eyes bulged, and he finally swallowed all the Devil Fruits while holding back his nausea.
"Damn, luckily I only need to eat one of these things. It's really disgusting." Cao Gui shook his tongue, his stomach churning.
But this feeling went away as quickly as it came, and Cao Gui soon calmed down.
"This...can you gain abilities?" Cao Gui felt it briefly, and it seemed that his body had not changed much.
Crack!
As soon as the thought came up, a burst of electricity suddenly flashed on his finger. Cao Gui was slightly startled. With a thought, there was a crackling sound, and the whole arm turned into blue-white lightning. The tiny electric snakes wandering around kept flashing, and suddenly penetrated.
He picked up the coffee table in front of him.
Cao Gui took a deep breath and slowly regained his ability.
"This feeling... is quite strange..." Cao Gui touched his chin and muttered. After eating the fruit, he didn't feel any physical abnormalities. He still felt the same as before.
There is no numbness or discomfort all over the body, just like taking fake medicine.
Cao Gui could discharge electricity if he wanted to, and elementalize his arms if he wanted to. He thought so, and that's how it happened. There was no reason or any principle.
Think about it, do it!
"It's really magical..." Cao Gui whispered, with thunder in his eyes:
"It seems that we need to find a direction for development... we can't mess around with Enel like in the original work..."
