The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 251 Treasure Persimmon

"Hmm! It tastes just like a normal apple! It's probably just that the fruit has gotten bigger, but the moisture content hasn't changed much."

Vasita commented, taking another bite and becoming much more audacious: "This could be called a mutated giant apple... Huh?"

One big bite and it burst with juice!

"Why is it all water inside?"

It spilled all over her hand.

Moran leaned over to take a look: "It looks like only the surface is flesh. Let's cut one and see!"

She picked out a large apple and cut off one end on the plate: "The flesh is only one centimeter thick, and it's full of juice."

He scooped up some juice with a spoon and drank it: "It tastes like apple juice, with a good balance of sweet and sour, not bad!"

Vasida also drank some juice: "I think that apple tree should be called an apple juice tree, because it bears all apple juice, which saves the trouble of juicing! If only breadfruit trees were this considerate."

“Apple Juice Tree? That’s fitting, let’s call it that!” Sylph said.

Naming the newly cultivated mutant plants was also a headache for her.

"Let's try some other fruits!"

Moran picked through the fruit and picked up an orange one: "This is a persimmon, right? It doesn't look mutated at all, it's pretty much the same as a regular persimmon."

"It's a mutated persimmon. The tree's fruit yield and fruit size are exactly the same as normal persimmons, but the plant tells me that the fruit contains a treasure."

Sylph herself had never tried it.

Although the persimmon felt soft to the touch and seemed completely ripe, Moran decided against biting into it, having learned from Vasita's experience.

She placed the persimmon on a plate and carefully cut it open: "The flesh looks normal too."

"Could the so-called treasure refer to the taste of the fruit?" Vasita guessed.

"Let me try it." Moran scooped up a small spoonful and ate it: "It's very sweet, but it's just a regular persimmon in taste and texture. It's definitely not as delicious as a treasure."

Vasita and Sylph picked up a persimmon and ate it.

Sylph bit into the persimmon peel and sucked out the soft flesh and juice. Her assessment was exactly the same as Moran's: it was just an ordinary persimmon. "So where is the treasure?"

"Crunch~" Vasida made a strange sound as she ate the persimmon.

Moran and Sylph both looked at her at once.

Even if you bite into a persimmon seed, it shouldn't make such a tooth-wrenching sound!

Vasita made a strange expression, then puffed out her cheeks and spat out five... gems?
To be precise, there were four: yellow, blue, red, and green. They were crystal clear with distinct edges and corners. The green one broke in two, and the "snap" sound just now probably came from it.

It was incredible that a gemstone was found inside a persimmon, but Moran and Sylph were more concerned about Vasita: "Are your teeth alright?"

Vasita carefully examined her palm, finding only gemstones and no broken teeth, and hesitantly said, "It should be alright, right?"

She no longer feels any foreign object in her mouth.

Still not entirely reassured, he opened his mouth wide for Sylph and Moran to check.

Moran vouched for it with the memories of generations of dentists on Earth: "Intact, perfectly healthy teeth."

"So these gems are the treasures the persimmon tree spoke of?" Vasita asked. "Are they really gems? Gems that grow on a tree?"

Moran used a cleansing spell to cleanse it, then picked up a yellow gemstone to examine it: "Yes, it's a gemstone, and a relatively pure yellow gemstone at that."

"Moran, are you sure? Isn't it a bit too brittle? I bit into it and it broke." Vasita still couldn't quite believe it; how could a gemstone break so easily?

Moran tested the hardness: "It's not that it's too brittle, it's that your teeth are too strong! I definitely couldn't break it." Sylph even took out a small hammer and tried to smash the broken half of the emerald: "That's right, I can't bite it either!"

Vasita exclaimed in shock, "Did swallowing the stomach strengthen my teeth?"

She looked left and right and spotted a small stone. She got up, picked it up, and cleaned it with her teeth cleaning technique: "Let me try to see if it's a problem with my teeth..."

Before Moran and Sylph could stop them, they heard a "crack!"

The small stone shattered easily under Vasita's teeth.

It wasn't even bitten with the incisors, but with the front teeth.

"Your teeth have really been strengthened too! Ptooey!" Vasita spat out the pebbles, somewhat surprised. "Haven't you guys been using the dietary supplements to strengthen your bodies? Maybe you can bite them too, give it a try!"

Moran and Sylph exchanged a glance, both of them becoming somewhat eager to make a move.

A moment later, the two of them each took a stone and started biting.

"Sigh~"

Before the stone could even break, Moran's teeth gave out: "It seems our teeth can't bite through stone."

Sylph tugged at Lamoran's arm, gesturing for her to look at the stone.

A shallow tooth mark was left on the stone!

Moran's pupils contracted slightly, in disbelief.

Vasita laughed heartily: "Look! Your teeth have gotten better too. Use more of these health supplements, and you'll be able to crush stones with your teeth sooner or later!"

"It really is a comprehensive enhancement!" Moran exclaimed in amazement. Even without Vasida's prompting, she would try to use the food supplement enhancement card as much as possible.

Even if she can't digest stones like Vasita, she can't resist the joy of crushing stones in one bite!

Vasita finished the rest of the persimmons in a few bites: "There aren't any other gems left!"

“Neither Sylph’s nor my persimmons contained gems,” Moran said.

"It seems the treasures the persimmon tree spoke of are these gems, though not every persimmon contains them," Sylph said.

"I wonder how many persimmons contain gems?" Moran wondered.

Although the gems inside the persimmons are just ordinary gems, even ordinary gems are quite precious.

Furthermore, witches who possess spatial magic can transform ordinary gems into magical gems with spatial properties.

"Why don't we pick all the persimmons and cut them open to see what they're like?" Sylph suggested.

Understanding the specific function of each mutant plant is also a very important step in the cultivation process.

“Great!” Vasita was the first to agree, patting her belly. “I don’t mind wasting any persimmon flesh, I can eat as much as I want!”

Soon, all the persimmons were picked.

Sylph was in charge of washing the persimmons, while Moran was in charge of directing the kitchen utensils to cut them.

Vasita was in charge of pouring the fruit pulp into her stomach, saying as she did so, "You're in for a treat today! We picked two big baskets of persimmons!"

Finally, a fruit platter floated into Moran's hands, and the gems in the platter piled up into a small mountain.

“All the gems are here. About one in four or five persimmons has a seed that is one of these rhombus-shaped gems. They are all about the same size, usually three or four, and they come in various colors,” Moran said.

"How beautiful!" Sylph exclaimed. "I know what this persimmon is called now! It's called the Treasure Persimmon! There's a chance that a treasure will be found inside!"
