Kisha began to feel emotional. After facing countless challenges, she was finally about to reach Level 2—much faster than any of her past lives. She was stronger now, far stronger than she had ever been before.
With a deep breath, Kisha closed her eyes, feeling the flow of energies within her. Though the energies remained distinct, they worked in harmony, each one yielding to the other as they coursed through her body.
After sensing the changes in her body, Kisha took a moment to glance over at Rose, who lay just a few feet away. She double-checked to see if Rose was stirring, but finding her still deep in slumber, Kisha resumed what she was doing.
Marcus arrived shortly after, carrying three baskets filled with a variety of spiritual fruits and vegetables.
’Whoa! It works on the fruits too, not just the crops?’ Kisha thought, watching Marcus carry a basket, followed closely by Mike and Daisy, each struggling with a large basket of their own.
The basket was so large that Kisha could barely see Daisy behind it. However, thanks to her regular intake of Scarlet Honey and growing strength, Daisy was now able to carry several dozen kilos of crops without breaking a sweat.
’Perfect timing!’ Kisha thought with satisfaction.
She quickly sent the three away to ensure they wouldn’t be in danger when things got chaotic.
After confirming they were far off, back at the farmland, Kisha began eating a few spiritual fruits. At first, one or two didn’t seem to make much of a difference.
Perhaps the spiritual crops didn’t hold as much energy as she expected, so she kept eating until she could feel the effects.
The crops were enormous, juicy, and far tastier than any fruits or vegetables she had ever tasted before—almost unnaturally big, in fact.
Tomatoes, pears, peaches, apples, bananas, melons, and more—it felt like a picnic in a flower field. But only she knew this was yet another part of her experimentation.
She wanted to determine how much of an impact the spiritual fruit would have on the quality of her spiritual energy, and how much of the spiritual crops she would need to consume before her energy could be purified or grow.
When she finally felt full and could no longer take another bite, she realized she had consumed a dozen fruits, yet the change in the quality of her spiritual energy was so minimal that she could barely notice any difference.
’Well, as they say, change doesn’t happen overnight. At least now I understand that these spiritual crops aren’t a one-day miracle thing,’ Kisha thought to herself. She then stored the remaining spiritual crops in her inventory and took out a crystal core.
She only needed one last core to level up.
Without hesitation, she consumed the core. As it slid down her throat like jelly, a wave of warmth enveloped her, and a surge of energy coursed through her veins.
Then she experienced that familiar sensation and saw the radiant light enveloping her, her body glowing like the golden sun. Kisha felt her energy pool expanding, invigorating her as her strength surged.
After leveling up, she checked her status window once more to assess her newfound strength. She hoped it would be sufficient to take on an evolved zombie of level 2 or higher, should the worst come to pass.
