Chapter 198 - Chapter 198: The Gravity Fruit, and the First Taste of Cola

As the others fawned over the treasures, Su Han quietly claimed his own reward.

Yesterday, after seeing the mission completion, he had gone straight into cultivation and forgotten to check.

[Ding! Congratulations to member Beidou for completing the 4-star Multiverse Mission. As the Group Leader, this mission has generated an additional strategic reward: 20,000 Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations to member Beidou for completing the 4-star mission. As the Group Leader, this mission has generated the primary strategic asset: Flawless Gravity-Gravity Fruit.]

[Gravity-Gravity Fruit (Zushi Zushi no Mi)]

[Ability]: Grants the user the power to freely manipulate gravity, increasing or decreasing it at will.

[Analysis]: The strength of the gravity is proportional to the user's own power. The stronger the user, the stronger the fruit.

[Note]: The fruit is currently unawakened. Awakening will further increase its power, potentially allowing for permanent gravitational shifts in an area.

[Special]: This fruit has been optimized by the system. It has no weaknesses; even Seastone and seawater cannot weaken its power.

"I didn't expect it to be Fujitora's fruit… and an optimized version at that! Not bad."

Su Han looked at the reward, a smile appearing on his face.

The fruit was purple, covered in countless swirls and inverted symbols. This was the Gravity-Gravity Fruit!

Su Han didn't hesitate and ate it directly.

The taste was truly indescribable. One could say it was no different from eating dirt. The fishy smell inside was even more disgusting than salted fish.

However, shortly after eating it, Su Han felt a new power within him.

Gravity.

This was a terrifying force. Although Fujitora's development of this power was already good, Su Han's understanding of gravity… was even more terrifying.

For example, Shinra Tensei (Almighty Push). This could be achieved through the fruit's power, repelling everything by using oneself as the gravitational center.

And Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation). He felt he could easily use that as well.

His power seemed to have grown even stronger. Probably in a little while longer, he would be able to challenge the Raiden Shogun.

A smile appeared on Su Han's face.

Just then, Hu Tao skipped over. "Hey… I just saw you eat something strange. What was that?"

"Oh… it's the Gravity-Gravity Fruit. The Devil Fruit of that Fujitora guy from yesterday's mission!"

"Heavens… does that mean you can pull down meteors too?" Hu Tao was extremely shocked.

Yesterday, that blind uncle's power had been really strong, but unfortunately… he had still fallen to Sister Beidou. If he had learned Conqueror's Haki Infusion, perhaps he could have continued to fight Beidou. But the gap was just too big.

Su Han smiled. "My Gravity Fruit is not that simple… And you don't really think Fujitora is that weak, do you?"

The man wasn't a fool. Fujitora had justice in his heart. Showing his strength in battle, but being "repelled" by the enemy—that way, the Marines couldn't say anything. And with Doflamingo dead, who knows how happy he was.

But… in reality, even if Fujitora had used his true strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat Beidou. Because her physical skills were just too strong right now.

At this moment, Albedo walked over. "I've mostly figured out these Transponder Snails. I'll have people breed a batch. As for the rest, do you want to arrange the personnel first?"

As expected of the genius alchemist. He had figured out how to breed Transponder Snails so quickly.

Su Han said to Ningguang, "Go and distribute these things, along with the devices that can send telegrams. That way, we won't have to go to Yuehai Pavilion every day."

"Mm, that's what I was thinking… I'll send a batch of these Transponder Snails to Mondstadt later. As for Yae Miko… we can only delay that for now."

After all, she was in Inazuma. It was very difficult to send things there.

However, as soon as her voice fell, a figure walked in from outside.

"Ahem… I can take the Transponder Snails back myself!"

"???"

"!!!"

Su Han and the others looked at the sly fox, shocked.

Good heavens. Did she abandon the Grand Narukami Shrine and run over here again?

Yae Miko looked at everyone's surprised expressions and smiled. "My, my… I was bored, you know? Anyway, there are others to handle Inazuma's affairs. I didn't expect there to be so many treasures. This is wonderful…"

She squatted down and looked at the Transponder Snails, touching this one and teasing that one, looking very happy.

Ningguang said to her, "You can't take all of these. We need to breed a batch before we can distribute them…"

"Mm, I know… the main thing is, if I don't come for a while, a certain someone might forget my existence…" Yae Miko looked at Su Han with resentment.

If one didn't know her well, that look would probably make them fall for her instantly.

Su Han said grumpily, "Who forgot you? Didn't Beidou send you so many things?"

This sly fox really just said whatever came to her mind. Acting like a resentful wife.

"My, my… I'm just complaining a little, don't mind me… can we talk? I have some things I want to discuss with you."

"Alright."

The two of them went into a room.

Yae Miko put away her teasing expression and asked, "When are you exactly coming to Inazuma? The sea train is almost ready for use… have you forgotten our agreement?"

"No, it's just that I'm not confident in facing the Raiden Shogun yet. Wait a little longer… isn't there still some time before the filth in Inazuma becomes critical? What are you afraid of?"

Su Han had an indifferent expression. This woman was too impatient. She hadn't seen him for a few days and was already urging him to go to Inazuma.

Yae Miko said grumpily, "Do you think I'm here because of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing? It's because that Scaramouche came back and started causing all kinds of trouble in Inazuma. Now the whole country is in chaos. Especially that jellyfish baby from Watatsumi Island, playing her strategy games all day. I'm about to die of annoyance…"

Ever since Scaramouche returned, the Fatui's strength had increased significantly. Large amounts of Delusions were being produced in their factories every day, and these things were being sold to soldiers on both sides.

Inazuma was now in imminent danger. Otherwise, she wouldn't have really run over here just to play.

That jellyfish strategist on Watatsumi Island, it was fine if she commanded daily affairs, but she insisted on interfering in the war. If Narukami Island really wanted to attack them, Watatsumi Island would have been gone long ago!

Su Han frowned. "This… I don't have any solution either. Although my strength has increased a lot, facing the Raiden Shogun… is still not enough."

There were many things happening in Liyue recently, and it was difficult for him to leave.

Yae Miko asked, "Then how much longer until you can go to Inazuma? Give me an accurate time… otherwise, my hair is going to turn white from worry…"

Seeing Mondstadt's strength, the sly fox really wanted Su Han to intervene in Inazuma's affairs. But she also understood that asking Su Han to go now was unrealistic. So, asking for a specific time was just to comfort herself.

Su Han considered it and said, "Probably another one to two months… but if a miracle happens, maybe I can go earlier."

"Alright then… it's a deal. But… you're also too stubborn. If you can't beat Ei yourself, I can intervene…" Yae Miko said with some complaint.

A fight was a fight. Why play fair? As long as they won, that was enough.

But Su Han didn't think so. Defeating Ei with the sly fox's help and defeating her by himself were two completely different concepts.

"Alright… just wait a little longer. Soon… Inazuma will return to its former peace. There's a lot of good food today. Stay for dinner."

"Hehe, that's what I was waiting for!" The sly fox smiled brilliantly. She was getting tired of the food back home. Xiangling's cooking was still the best.

On this day, Liyue was even busier. But before everyone went about their business, Su Han decided to hold a grand banquet. After all, Beidou had returned fully loaded, and she had to be welcomed.

During the meal, this woman tried several times to drink with Su Han, but… she was stopped by Ningguang every time.

"Hey… you stinking woman, what exactly do you want? I'm just having a drink with Su Han… are you that scared?!"

"Heh… anyone can drink. Except him."

Ningguang refused to budge an inch. With Jean as a precedent, she didn't want Su Han to be "stolen" again.

Beidou ground her teeth in anger but ultimately had to give up, choosing to drink against Ningguang instead.

While everyone was enjoying the food, Xiangling brought out the first batch of Cola.

"Come… everyone, come and try it! See how the Cola tastes!"

The dark, fizzy water was a bit daunting to look at.

Shenhe picked up a cup, tasted it, and shook her head. "I don't really like this kind of stimulating thing…" Compared to Cola, she preferred wine and tea.

But Sucrose, after taking a sip, exclaimed, "Wow… this tastes so good!"

"It's even better chilled," Su Han suggested.

Shenhe took the large pitcher, and with a flash of frost from her palm, the temperature of the Cola instantly dropped.

Everyone tasted the chilled Cola, and their eyes lit up.

"This taste is really good…"

"Mm, it's much tastier than those fruit drinks sold in the market…"

"So this is Cola! It tastes great…"

Tasting Cola for the first time, everyone was full of praise. Chilled Cola tasted even better. Having a cup in this hot summer was simply too comfortable.

Yae Miko tasted it and smiled. "I feel like Su Han is going to make a fortune again. This thing… I'm afraid it will sweep the entire world."

"But we can only make a little bit. The trees haven't been fully cultivated yet…" Xiangling said with some regret.

The materials Franky gave were only enough to make ten barrels at most. For the rest, they would have to figure it out themselves.
