Third Fruit Acquired!

Some people vented their anger on the patrol members. Some people took the opportunity to sneak away quietly. Aunt Agnes even took advantage of others' distraction to steal food from others.

Jake scanned the area. He didn't see "NotReallyAFox". That female streamer didn't come? Jake frowned slightly. He just needed to stare at an unfamiliar woman for a few seconds, and the system would automatically prompt:

[Jane] [Age: 32] [Quality Score: 5 points] (Plain) [Character Score: 2 points] (Three marriages, two ex-husbands left with nothing) [Overall Score: 5 points]

[Ding! Does not meet system minimum requirements!]

...

[Donna] [Age: 39] [Quality Score: 3 points] [Character Score: 10 points] (Untouched) [Overall Score: 3 points]

[Ding! Does not meet system minimum requirements!]

...

Suddenly, a prompt popped up from a plain-looking middle-aged woman in the corner:

[Lily] [Age: 22] [Quality Score: 9.5 points] (Exceptional figure) [Character Score: 10 points] (Untouched) [Overall Score: 9.5 points]

[Ding! Meets system requirements!]

Huh? 9.5 points? There's this kind of catch in our building? Jake stared at the middle-aged woman, examining her carefully for a while. Only then did he realize this woman was wearing makeup! And she was intentionally making herself look ugly! Really smart.

Lily? Jake instantly reacted. Fox! She's that female streamer!

Lily was looking at him timidly, seeming to hesitate whether to come over and trade. Jake's mouth curved slightly. He walked directly through the chaotic crowd to Lily's front. Wherever he went, everyone spontaneously cleared a path, not daring to provoke Jake.

Jake asked: "Lily, did you bring the black lychee?"

Lily was startled and quickly touched her cheek, thinking her makeup had smudged: "I brought it. You... you can recognize me?"

Jake didn't explain. He just took out 5 packets of instant noodles, looking at Lily. Lily's eyes lit up, and she swallowed. She carefully opened her backpack and took out a lunchbox. Opening the lunchbox, a black lychee appeared before Jake.

Jake laughed heartily, reaching out and taking the lunchbox. The third Enlightenment Fruit is finally acquired! Olivia and Michelle looked at Jake in surprise. They didn't understand why Jake was interested in this plain-looking woman. When they saw the black lychee, they seemed to understand. Jake was here for the ability fruit.

Humph! This woman is so stupid! She actually didn't eat this ability fruit! Looking at Lily's ordinary appearance, the two women didn't feel a trace of threat. Instead, they felt smug. This kind of woman had no way to compete with them for Jake!

Jake stuffed the 5 packets of instant noodles to Lily and said with a smile: "Want to come live at my place?"

Lily hugged the instant noodles and nervously shook her head: "I, I like living alone."

Jake wasn't in a hurry at all and said casually: "Okay. After you finish eating, you can contact me again. I have a lot more food."

He considered himself a man of principle. Since he had agreed to trade for the Enlightenment Fruit, it was a trade. However, if you agreed to a trade and then changed your mind on the spot, Jake would make the other party understand what cruelty was. Lily didn't cause any trouble, so Jake wouldn't overturn the trade and just snatch it. Anyway, this bit of food would be eaten eventually. He had to let her experience hardship. The harder survival became, the more completely devoted she would eventually become.

Lily bit her lip and hesitated for a moment, not completely refusing: "I, I, I can think about it?"

Jake smiled: "No problem. Right, where did this black lychee grow?"

Lily was full of anticipation for the trade and didn't think too much, saying: "On the Virginia creeper on the outer wall. Isn't yours from there too?"

Jake nodded slightly, saying nothing, thinking inwardly. The few Enlightenment Fruits he knew of grew on completely different plants: succulent plants, Virginia creeper, and the wild grass the Lightning Man mentioned. So strange, how can any plant grow Enlightenment Fruits? Do these plants have anything in common? Jake was very confused.

Just then, the crowd suddenly erupted in shouts: "Murder!"

"Murder!"

The people who were beating the patrol members scattered. A few patrol members had fallen in pools of blood, barely breathing. The food they had just snatched was snatched away again by others. The scene was completely chaotic. People were tearing at each other, grabbing for food, and scrambling to escape. Lily's face went pale. She felt a chill down her spine.

Olivia and Michelle couldn't help but grab Jake's arm and cling to him. Jake merely looked at everything with indifference. No matter how chaotic the scene was, no one dared approach him. A three-meter empty circle formed around him. In the apocalypse, human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong was exposed completely.

"Ah! Timmy! Timmy!" Aunt Agnes howled. It turned out the brat had been pushed to the ground and then stomped on by a group of people over a dozen times. He started spitting blood on the spot, large mouthfuls of fresh blood gushing out. "Save my grandson! Save my grandson!" Aunt Agnes looked terrified. No one paid attention to her. Everyone was leaving in a hurry.

Finally, the old traditional medicine doctor, Dr. Quincy, sighed and walked back. Aunt Agnes looked like she had found a savior and quickly grabbed Dr. Quincy's hand: "Save Timmy! Timmy is a good child! Dr. Lee, you must save him!"

Dr. Quincy said solemnly: "I'll do my best." He knelt beside Timmy, checked his pulse, and looked at his pupils. Dr. Quincy shook his head: "If this were before, maybe he could be saved if he were immediately sent to the hospital. Now... alas." Dr. Quincy slowly stood up.

Aunt Agnes's face instantly went pale. She clutched Dr. Quincy's pants leg tightly: "How can I explain it to his parents if he dies! Dr. Lee, save him! You must have a way to save him!"

Dr. Quincy gave a bitter smile: "I'm sorry, I really can't."

Aunt Agnes's expression suddenly changed. She said loudly: "I know! You doctors just want money, don't you? I'll give it to you! 100, 500? My family has money! As long as you cure him, I'll give it all to you!"

Dr. Quincy was speechless. He said solemnly: "Sister Agnes, this isn't about money. It's about the conditions for treatment not existing now."

Aunt Agnes grabbed Dr. Quincy's pants leg, her expression agitated: "Timmy was just stomped on a few times. How could anything happen? I know, you just want money! If you don't save Timmy, you're just letting him die, completely unethical!"

Dr. Quincy was willing to help people, but that didn't mean he was a pushover: "Humph! Unreasonable!" He suddenly lifted his leg, shook off Aunt Agnes's hand, turned his head, and walked away.

Aunt Agnes lay on the ground, shouting: "Why won't you treat Timmy! Why won't you treat me!" She then began to wail: "Come see! This damned old man is letting someone die! His conscience has been eaten by dogs! Ow! My life is so bitter! Li Qingquan! I'm going to report you to your hospital superiors!"

Olivia and Michelle looked at Aunt Agnes disdainfully.

Jake watched the drama with interest and suddenly spoke: "Aunt Agnes, stop crying. Your grandson has stopped breathing."

Aunt Agnes twisted her head to look at Timmy. The brat's face was already turning blue, and he had stopped breathing. "Ah! Timmy! Timmy, wake up! How can I explain it to your parents if you die!" Aunt Agnes's eyes rolled back, and she lost consciousness with a gasp.

Jake pursed his lips and turned to look at Lily. She was clutching the 5 packets of instant noodles tightly, still hiding in the corner. Jake knew what she was afraid of and deliberately asked: "Why aren't you going home yet?"

Lily forced out a smile: "I, I, I'll leave later."

In truth, she didn't dare leave at all. When everyone scattered just now, several men were clearly eyeing the food in her arms. If Jake hadn't been there, she would have been robbed by now. Lily didn't dare go downstairs and go home now, wondering if someone was waiting downstairs to rob her.

Jake said indifferently: "Oh, okay. You wait then."

After saying that, he took the two women upstairs and went home. The hallway quickly became quiet. Several corpses lay scattered on the ground. The only living person was the unconscious Aunt Agnes. The surroundings instantly became terrifying.

Lily was almost crying from fear. She waited a few more minutes before gathering courage and trembling as she went downstairs. She tiptoed the whole way and, fortunately, made it home safely. Once she got home, Lily collapsed onto the floor, barely able to stand.

...

In Olivia's apartment, Jake "saw" this whole scene. He had already "seen" that there was no one in the hallway; the only mutant beast was White Eyes, who was lying outside Olivia's door. For now, no one would threaten Lily. He was just intentionally scaring Lily a bit. This woman had some small intelligence, but not much. In a few days, after she finished the instant noodles, she would still come begging to him on her knees. She was actually still pinning her hopes on national rescue? Heh.

Jake withdrew his gaze. He took an Enlightenment Fruit from the lunchbox and handed it to Olivia: "Here, for you. Eat it."
