Eating Fruit

The big tree standing in front of Raymond, all its branches and leaves were trembling.

The leaves around him singing nursery rhymes and growing limbs slowly moved away from his body, swaying like drunk, holding hands together and returning to the roots of the big tree, quietly accumulating together without a sound.

After a long time, Raymond's body cramped from maintaining the same posture for a long time.

The face appearing on the tree trunk slowly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "I haven't eaten magic stones for many years, so long that I forgot what they taste like."

There were three black stones on the ground.

Moving his cramped muscles, Raymond slowly stood up from the ground. Because the smallest one was rolled away by the tender branch, Raymond tentatively asked, "How much is left of this one except to compensate for your loss?"

The face on the tree trunk showed a trace of surprise, then a guilty look. After a long while, a voice came out: "Too delicious. If you agree, give me another magic stone and I can exchange a fruit."

Carefully observing the expression on the face of the big tree, Raymond narrowed his eyes and nodded slowly, put the other things back into the backpack and put the backpack back on.

Slowly extending from the big tree, several tender branches were intertwined into a cage like a cage, and a thumb-sized fiery red fruit inside rushed around, seeming to want to run out.

The fruit wrapped in tender branches was sent to Raymond. The old face on the tree trunk added: "As extra compensation, I will guard you here for three days..."

But before the big tree finished speaking, the red fruit wrapped in tender branches suddenly cried loudly: "Grandpa, grandpa! Don't abandon me, don't abandon me! I don't want to be eaten!"

Ignoring the cries of the red fruit, the old face on the tree trunk slowly disappeared into the tree trunk.

The tender branch extending to Raymond slowly opened, and the little mouth on this red fruit grew a human child's face, red lips, jet-black pupils, and chubby limbs like lotus roots.

Seeing Raymond appearing in its sight, its little face instantly turned pale, white patches appeared on the cheeks of the red fruit body, and its delicate body climbed to the top of the branches with hands and feet as the tender branch cage opened.

But the height of more than one meter from the ground made the red fruit's childlike face show a frightened expression. After a little hesitation, it closed its eyes and jumped straight down.

But the red human-faced fruit that jumped out of the tender branch cage was still caught quickly by Raymond stretching out his hand.

Desperate cries came out of the little mouth of this red fruit. In the jet-black eyes of the child's face, there was a liquid like tears, pale pink, and still a little hot when it fell on Raymond's palm.

In a panic, the little fruit cried on Raymond's palm, wanting to continue escaping. Raymond, who quickly closed his right hand, gave it no chance.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! You're bad..."

The tender voice, accompanied by sobs, came out of the palm, and Raymond forced himself to endure the numb feeling in his palm and silently ordered the chip: "Check it out!"

"Task established, start analyzing..."

As the data appeared like a waterfall in his vision, the chip quickly came to a vague conclusion. The pale pink liquid dripping from the human-faced fruit contained a lot of nutrients and was beneficial to the body.

In the closed palm, the miserable cry of the little child made Raymond's throat dry. But after hesitating for a while, Raymond still put his clenched palm to his mouth, but the cry from the palm became even more miserable.

Closing his eyes, Raymond quickly stuffed the fruit in his palm into his mouth. The feeling of the limbs of the red human-faced fruit touching and squirming on his tongue almost made Raymond spit it out, especially its shrill cry now, which went straight to Raymond's mind.

Biting his teeth, Raymond quickly closed his upper and lower jaws on the fruit. After a shrill scream of "Wow", the voice of the red human-faced fruit disappeared.

The fragrance overflowing between the lips and teeth, a sticky juice quickly flowed down the throat into the body, giving a pleasant and comfortable feeling of intoxication.

Reopening his eyes, Raymond licked the juice on his palm clean with unfinished meaning. The chip's voice also came to his mind: "A large amount of beneficial energy has entered the body. Would you like to analyze it?"

The warm feeling in his chest and abdomen made Raymond stagger and sit down involuntarily on the ground. He silently agreed to the chip's response in his mind.

"Task established, start analyzing..."

Feeling hot all over, even the gentle breeze that had just brushed his cheeks became scorching.

But soon the scorching heat emerging from his chest and abdomen was like countless ants crawling in his body. The itchy feeling made Raymond scratch a lot of blood marks on his body with his hands, and the place where the backpack was located quickly heated up and became scorching.

Quickly pulling the backpack in front of him again, seeing the faint white light leaking from the backpack, Raymond frowned again. The sudden changes, one after another, made Raymond's thoughts a little unable to keep up.

"Abnormal changes in the subject's genes, 80% increase in cell activity, 50% increase in cell strength, and prolonged life!"

Looking at the backpack emitting a faint white light in front of him, the analysis results of the chip cleared Raymond's confused thoughts a little.

"Analysis results of the fruit: It contains a large amount of active substances that can improve the subject's genes, accelerate cell division, enhance cell activity, and passively enhance the subject's resistance. Please name it."

"Red Fruit!" Raymond casually named this strange fruit. The scorching heat in his body had now begun to decrease slowly.

The backpack emitting a faint white light made Raymond a little suspicious. After opening the backpack, Raymond found that the other things had not changed, only the book made of sheepskin parchment emitted a faint light.

Taking a deep breath, Raymond had the chip keep recording and analyzing. At the same time, his right hand slowly touched the book. When he touched the cover, the temperature of the cover still felt a little hot. At the same time, a few strange characters slowly appeared on the originally blank cover.

Like reliefs appearing in sight, the characters were accompanied by the chip's alarm sound: "Alarm! Alarm! Unknown intensity force field detected, evacuate over 50 meters immediately!"
