Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
Chu Xin wasn't actually surprised that Shen Chuan made this request. She had known him for a long time and understood his character; he wasn't the type to take advantage of others.
So, she wasn't surprised at all that he wanted to repay Ming Chu.
But what gave her a headache was—
"With your health, you're still thinking about this? Don't worry, Awuh and I will find a way to repay her. We'll be heading out in a couple of days."
"Ah, you haven't seen me in a long time, so you don't know," Shen Chuan said with a smile. "I can go pick the Divine Fruits directly. I can pick a few every year."
"What?" Chu Xin was truly shocked this time.
Shen Chuan glanced outside to confirm no one was at the door before continuing: "Since you've stayed at the Divine Tree Base, you should know that their secret is being able to make one Divine Fruit have the effect of two, right?"
"Yes, and that has to do with you, doesn't it?" Chu Xin had long suspected this, so she wasn't surprised by that part.
"Yes and no," Shen Chuan said very calmly. "The way they achieve this is by drawing my blood. My blood is the most important ingredient for every dose, which is why they can't do without me."
"But they don't know that there is actually another way, one that can even make a Divine Fruit yield three doses," Shen Chuan smiled. "The Divine Fruit is so large; how could only the center be useful? The correct way to use it is to grind it up, shell and all, mix it evenly, and then consume it."
Shen Chuan sighed with emotion: "So, I only ever needed one Divine Fruit to recover."
Shen Chuan's words overturned Chu Xin's understanding. Whether it was the fact that he could easily retrieve the fruits or that one fruit could be used for three doses, she had never heard of it.
It wasn't that she didn't believe him, but she was confused: "Then how do you know? If the researchers don't know these things, how do you?"
"A little kid told me," Shen Chuan smiled. "I tried it, but at the time, my ability could only produce two doses at most."
In fact, the young Shen Chuan had a strong sense of chivalry. When he discovered the better way to use the Divine Fruit, he had originally wanted to make it public. One fruit being able to be split into two or even three doses meant the number of evolvers could increase significantly.
