The Villain Only Wants To Live a Buddhist Life

Chapter 82 Dark Demon the Fruit Farmer

***Edited by Kronost***

The chubby aunt obviously likes Dark.

But how can a first year student who is studious, polite, and has a cute face, not be likable?

She beckoned to Dark and walked to the counter.

Dark came to the counter and saw her taking out a basket from below.

The basket was not big, and there were only five fruits in it.

Dark hadn't studied other plants than the plants he needed, so he couldn't tell what kind of fruits they were.

But one shouldn't be ashamed if one doesn't understand something. It's only shameful to pretend to understand something that you know nothing about.

So he curiously said, "Auntie, what fruits are these and what effects do they have?"

The chubby aunt reached out, grouped three of the fruits together, and said: "These three are the fruits of the Singing Tree."

Singing tree is a kind of stump bonsai that makes a chirping sound when it detects sunlight. It is known as the "green alarm clock" that is very suitable for keeping in a dormitory.

But for the first time Dark got to know that singing trees also produce fruit.

The three singing tree fruits were as big as a longan, which looked like three large blueberries.

But what special effect does the fruit of the singing tree have?

It will make people chirp?

Dark looked up at the chubby aunt.

The chubby aunt smiled: "You may not have learned in the first year. The fruits of the singing tree are actually one of the core materials of [Silence Card]. They can absorb sound waves!"

Dark thought for a while, and asked; "This doesn't make sense. If the fruit of the singing tree can absorb sound waves, wouldn't it be impossible for the singing tree to make a sound after it bears fruit?"

The chubby aunt shook her head and said: "On the contrary, after they bear fruits, they will chirp even louder. They will absorb the sound waves, store them, and release them again."

Dark was still puzzled, but the chubby aunt obviously didn't want to continue. She took out one of the remaining two fruits and placed it on the table.

This fruit had a shape similar to a pineapple, but it was only palm-sized.

The chubby aunt said: "This is the fruit of the Spiral Tree."

Dark was confused: "Spiral tree, what kind of tree is that?"

The chubby aunt pointed to one of the small trees in the shop.

Dark looked over. It was a strange little tree with a spiral-growing trunk. The leaves that grew out of it rolled up like wind chimes, whirled slightly along the breeze, and even made a sound like a wind chime.

Why don't you just call it the wind chimes tree?

The chubby aunt said: "Placing the leaves of the spiral tree on the roots of the ears can effectively prevent the symptoms of dizziness. Now the best-selling motion sickness stickers are made with the leaves of the spiral tree as the main ingredient. But its fruit can make people dizzy."

Dark suddenly became interested in this pineapple-like spiral tree fruit.

The chubby aunt picked up the last fruit.

It was a half translucent fruit similar in size to a citrus.

Upon a closer inspection, Dark even saw the pit of the fruit.

The chubby aunt said, "This is the fruit of Worm Tree."

Dark was shocked: "Worm Tree can also bear fruit?"

"Of course." The chubby aunty explained with a smile, "It needs a very special method to cultivate them, so that they will bear fruits. Their fruits are very rare and can store people's temporary memories. It can be released by just a little injection of magic energy. It's a natural memory ball."

...

There were three singing tree fruits, one spiral tree fruit, and one Worm Tree fruit.

There were five fruits in total.

Among them, the singing tree fruit was the cheapest, requiring only 10 credits.

Spiral fruit was slightly more expensive, 30 credits per piece.

As for the fruit of Worm Tree, the price was equivalent to half a Worm Tree!

Although Dark had credits, he didn't want to squander it. He didn't buy the Worm Tree fruit in the end, but only spent 60 credits to buy the remaining four fruits.

The main reason was that he couldn't imagine what additional effects the Worm Tree's fruit would have after being fermented into juice.

If he wanted to store his memories, he already had a Worm Tree. So getting the Worm Tree fruit would just be a waste of credits.

On the contrary, singing tree fruits and spiral tree fruit, both seemed to be very useful.

After leaving the Cuckoo Bird Flower and Tree Shop, Dark started shopping again.

Many areas on Traveller Street are actually not open to first-year students.

This is mainly because the first-year students' knowledge of magic is not good enough. If they are exposed to some dangerous things too much, it would be harmful to them.

Dark looked around and finally found a potion shop.

Potion shops would not only sell ready-made potions, but also sell some materials for making potions, which naturally involved fruits and herbs.

And the fruits here were clearly marked with detailed information.

Dark picked a few White Wood Fruits and Blue Fruits inside.

White Wood Fruits are one of the core materials for making healing plasters.

Blue Fruits are the raw materials for making [Magic Restoring Potion].

In Professor Thompson's magic lesson, Dark had used Blue Fruits to make [Quick Magic Potion] and [Magic Restoring Potion].

The potions made in those two classes are still kept in his dormitory.

Once he learned how to refine potions into magic cards, he would give priority to those two potions for experimentation.

White Wood Fruit and Blue Fruit both cost 20 credits each, which was a discounted price for students.

He bought 5 of each.

...

Dusk was approaching, and the sky became dim.

Dark came back with many bags.

There were many people around him who returned with many bags as well, but they were all loaded with sweets, snacks, clothes and jewelry.

Of course, there were also anomalies like Emma who let two poor otters help carry two stacks of books.

When Dark returned to the castle, he happened to meet Dianna who had just finished eating and was ready to go to the night market with Rose.

Before Dark could speak, Dianna said quickly: "I’ve done it. I’ve done it. I’ve finished my homework already!"

Fine then.

Dark stopped talking and watched them leave like a kind father.

...

Dark returned to the dormitory and put a bunch of things in different categories. It took about half an hour before he summoned Shuckle. Then he fermented a glass of apple juice and took a sip.

After his spirit recovered slightly, he couldn't wait to take out the singing tree fruit.

There were four kinds of fruits in total. Among them, the effects of the White Wood fruit and the Blue fruit were predictable. But he wasn’t sure about the singing tree fruit and the spiral tree fruit.

He was very curious about the effects of these two fruits after they were fermented into juice.

Among them, there were three singing tree fruits, which had more spaces for mistakes, and it was a great choice for the first experiment.

As a result, a longan-sized singing tree fruit was fermented for fifteen minutes!

In order to complete the fermentation of this singing tree fruit, Dark had to continue to replenish the magic of Shuckle, and when it finally succeeded, he couldn't help breathing out a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled and looked at DemiDevimon who was about to sneak away.
