Mikel opened the box, and Cheng Chu peeked inside.

Inside, three different colored fruits were neatly arranged. Three deep red ones were about the size of a fist, with what appeared to be a layer of white frost on their surface. The green fruits were crystal clear, about the size of an egg, and looked like little green crystals. There were also two oval, yellowish-brown fruits mixed in.

Upon seeing that it was fruit, Cheng Chu frowned, his face showing disgust.

No way, not again!

Ever since Cheng Chu discovered the nutrient solution, a wonderful thing that prevented him from going hungry, he became unwilling to eat regular meals. Mikel would often give Cheng Chu strange foods to try, hoping to find a diet that Cheng Chu could accept.

Knowing that Mikel meant well, Cheng Chu initially cooperated. However, after trying it so many times, Cheng Chu became numb to it. He felt that he would never be able to adapt to the local food culture.

So, are you now targeting fruit again?

He had actually tried several kinds of insect-like fruits before, and Cheng Chu divided them into two types: one type could be eaten directly and was extremely sweet; the other type was mostly water and had no flavor, so it had to be dipped in syrup, and it was also very sweet. He didn't like either of them, which forced him, someone who loved fruit, to go without eating fruit for a long time.

The fruit here is at two extremes—either too sweet or not sweet at all. Can't they find a balance?

Mikel took the fruit platter handed to him by 0123 and placed the fruit from the box onto the platter one by one.

"My lord, these are the seeds I bought especially for you."

Chengchu:? ? ?

Seeds? Not for him to eat?

Mikel picked up a deep red fruit and said, "My lord, this is Kali."

As he spoke, Mikel slowly and methodically cut open the Kali fruit with a fruit knife, revealing the reddish-brown pit inside.

"My lord, you mentioned before that you wanted to grow flowers to sell for money, and I was thinking that maybe we could grow fruit as well. So, without discussing it with you, I bought some fruit with seeds. My lord, do you think the seeds of this Kali fruit are suitable for planting?"

Mikel grabbed two tissues and wiped the reddish-brown pit before handing it to Cheng Chu.

Cheng Chu took the pit, and Mikel continued to cut the remaining pulp into small pieces, his hands covered in deep red juice.

The pit in his hand looked plump and hard, and should be able to sprout. Cheng Chu nodded and said, "This one can be planted."

"Really? My lord, can I come with you this time when you plant them? I really want to see how you grow them, you're amazing."

Cheng Chu smiled and said, "Okay."

He just planted them randomly, they're not that impressive at all, Mikel's statement is an exaggeration.

As he spoke, Mikel quickly cut the remaining two calico fruits in half, placing the two pits on the table with a tissue underneath.

Mikel pulled out a tissue to wipe his hands and the knife clean before picking up a green crystal. "My lord, this is a green water droplet. Doesn't it look like a green water droplet?"

Indeed, the clear, transparent green water droplets had a crystal-clear texture. If not told, Cheng Chu would never have guessed that this was a fruit.

"Yes, it looks good."

Cheng Chu acknowledged the beauty of the green water droplets, but he would never trust any of the insectoids' visually appealing food again, including fruit.

When you cut open the Green Water Droplet, the flesh is green and translucent, and the juice is colorless and transparent. Immediately after cutting, a faint, unique fruity fragrance fills the air. Each Green Water Droplet contains two small seeds, about the size of a melon seed.

Mikel asked, "This fruit smells wonderful, can the lord smell it?"

Cheng Chu swallowed hard, placing the pit of the Kali fruit in his hand alongside the two on the table: "Mmm, delicious."

It smells like it will taste delicious.

Mikel kept working with his hands and soon cut out a lot of green water droplet seeds.

"There's a vacant lot on the west side of the garden. Shall we plant these seeds there tomorrow, my lord?"

Cheng Chu: "Okay." Either way is fine.

Mikel emphasized, "That's settled then, Master, you must remember to call me tomorrow."

Cheng Chu agreed: "Okay, call her Empress."

Mikel felt that was enough; he didn't plan to cut the rest.

After removing the pits, three large plates filled the table with fruit pulp. Two plates contained deep red Kali fruit, the pulp neatly sliced ​​and arranged, somewhat resembling seedless red dragon fruit. The third plate contained green, dewy pulp, looking like a plate of green, translucent jelly.

Mikel's knife skills were superb; the fruit was cut beautifully, with sharp, distinct edges. It looked very tempting, and Cheng Chu even wanted to taste it after seeing the clean and tidy fruit platter.

Perhaps Cheng Chu's intentions were too obvious, because Mikel forked a piece of the green fruit and fed it to Cheng Chu's mouth. "My lord, would you like to try some? I cut too much; we can't finish it."

Mikel looked at Cheng Chu with his deep blue eyes, his tone gentle and pleading.

Under Mikel's pleading gaze, Cheng Chu couldn't resist at all. He opened his mouth and bit into the fruit, chewing and chewing!

It has a crispy texture.

Mmm! Delicious! Sweet and sour, and juicy!

Surprisingly, it wasn't cloyingly sweet; it had the normal sweetness of fruit.

Cheng Chu was pleasantly surprised.

"My lady, it's delicious."

This is simply a miracle; the Zerg actually have such delicious fruit.

Mikel laughed: "Really? If the lord likes to eat, then eat more."

Fully ripe green water pearls are soft, juicy, and very sweet, making them a favorite of both small insects and male insects. However, unripe green water pearls have crisp flesh, are not very sweet, and have a slightly sour taste, making them less palatable.

It's unbelievable that the male ruler would find the not-fully-ripe green water droplets delicious; his taste is truly peculiar.

Mikel was very curious about the male insect's previous living environment. He wouldn't eat this or that, so how did he grow so tall and big?

Finally finding something he liked, Cheng Chu didn't stand on ceremony and took the fork to eat several pieces in a row.

Mikel pushed the fruit platter containing Kali closer to Cheng Chu and said, "My lord, would you like to try some Kali fruit? See if you like it?"

Having witnessed the success of the green water droplets, Cheng Chu thought it was worth a try. If he didn't like them, he could compensate them; he wouldn't lose anything.

But Cheng Chu's intuition was bad.

Cheng Chu took only a small bite of the deep red Kali, and sure enough, it was still too sweet. Although it wasn't cloyingly sweet, Cheng Chu still didn't like it.

Cheng Chu frowned and shook his head.

"dislike."

Mikel took the bitten Kali from Cheng Chu's hand. "If the master doesn't like it, he won't eat it. The master can just eat the green water droplets."

Is Kali still too sweet?

Does the male ruler really dislike overly sweet food?

The fruit platter containing Kali was pushed aside, leaving only the platter with green water droplets for Cheng Chu.

Cheng Chu ate two more bites of fruit, which finally suppressed the sweetness of Kali in his mouth.
