I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 466 Lezhi's Little Calculation

Peeling open the dent that had been pressed open, the hard-skinned fruit flesh was no longer hidden.

Protected by a hard outer shell, the pure white flesh is soft and translucent, with a sweet aroma wafting from the opening, making one's mouth water.

His throat slid up and down. It had been a long time since Lezhi had encountered a fruit that made his mouth water, but now, he really couldn't resist. The flesh of this fruit looked so delicious.

He tilted his head back and turned the fruit over. Not much juice came out, which was a bit unexpected. He thought that hard-skinned fruit was similar to coconut. It turns out that it is not.

But it's okay, the flesh is edible too. Once it's cracked, it's much easier to break the fruit open again.

With a crisp "snap," the hard-skinned fruit split in two, revealing the shell. He then realized that what he had thought was pure white flesh was just an illusion. Apart from a layer of white pulp close to the hard skin, most of the flesh inside the fruit was transparent and jelly-like.

Because of Lezhi's actions, a lot of the fruit pulp was scattered, but more remained.

He gave half to the furball and kept half for himself. The furball had a sharp beak and could peck at the food directly. Lezhi wanted to eat it directly with its mouth open, but after trying several different positions, it felt unseemly. In the end, it couldn't resist the pressure of maintaining its image and took out a spoon from its space to pretend to be refined for the time being.

The fruit pulp not only looks like jelly, but also tastes like jelly. You slurp it into your mouth, and before you have a chance to chew it properly, it slides down your throat, leaving only a strange sweet aroma that fills your mouth.

It's the taste he likes.

Its pure white eyes lit up instantly, meeting the surprised eyes of the little black bean. Forgetting to communicate, the two of them buried their heads in their food and feasted.

The transparent pulp disappears quickly, and the pure white pulp is also edible. It is firmer than the transparent pulp, but has a richer flavor and even a hint of milkiness.

It's completely different from the milky aroma of white fruit juice; its milky aroma is fresher and has a longer aftertaste.

It's so delicious that you can't stop eating it, and you'll want to eat it again and again.

"How about it?"

"Tweet~"

"I knew you'd like it too, so..."

They whispered their plans, and with just a glance, they immediately reached an understanding.

Looking at Lei Xiu, he was still cooking, while Kele continued to stand guard. Lezhi did not disturb them, and silently took off with Maoqiu, heading straight for the branches of the big tree, their target: the hard-skinned fruit hidden among the leaves.

Wow, delicious jelly, here he comes!

Perhaps it was because it was the season for hard-skinned fruits to ripen, but from the outside, only a few of the fruits on the treetops were still green, while the rest, like the fallen ones, were completely brownish-black.

But Lezhi has a cheat code for judging whether a plant's fruit is ripe, in addition to using his eyes.

With his innate energy activated, he immediately gained a clear understanding of the condition of all the plants in the entire oasis. There was more than one hard-skinned fruit tree in the oasis, complete with fur balls. Adhering to the spirit of not missing anything while passing by, Lezhi picked up all the ripe hard-skinned fruits in the oasis. He didn't even let go of the fruits that had fallen to the ground and hadn't been broken, as long as they weren't spoiled.

There was nothing I could do; the fruit was just too delicious, and I couldn't bear to waste a single bit.

Maoqiu has picked up the habit of plucking feathers from passing geese perfectly from Lezhi, and Xiao Heidoudou, though small, has incredibly sharp eyesight.

"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

"Oh, it's coming."

With the help of the fluffy ball, they successfully dug out the last fruit from under the fallen leaves. Lezhi smiled broadly, confirming that no one had escaped. The two of them flapped their wings and left.

In the grass, watching helplessly as the food they had their eyes on was taken away, a glint of light flashed, and the unknown creature whispered angrily, its low, rhythmic voice bypassing Lei Xiu and his group, spreading along the land into the distance.

At this time, Lezhi, who had not yet landed, was completely unaware of this. By the time he and Maoqiu returned to the campsite, the message had already been sent out of the oasis and could not be detected.

…………

"How is it? Isn't this fruit delicious?"

The harvest was huge, so naturally it had to be shared with its companions. Everyone who saw it got a share, and even the leaf beetle got to enjoy a hard-shelled fruit all to itself. The fruit was almost bigger than the conch shell it lived in, and Lezhi wasn't worried about it getting too full.

The leaf beetle, still unaware of the hard-skinned fruit, was completely bewildered. But after Lezhi helped him open the fruit, the leaf beetle remained silent, burrowing into the hard-skinned fruit and devouring it, refusing to come out no matter who called it.

Jelly Frog is huge, and Lezhi gave it three hard-skinned fruits. If it weren't for the fact that it can't just eat fruits, Jelly Frog wouldn't want to stop eating.

Cola is equally irresistible. Having only recently emerged from its chick stage, all fruits with a milky flavor are incredibly attractive to it. What's more, the fruits Cola receives are delivered to it by a fluffy ball, making them taste even sweeter with the added filter of the fruit.

Lei Xiu, of course, needless to say, had the strength of the Hard-skinned Fruit, and no one could lie and say it wasn't delicious. "It's very delicious, and Zhizhi's idea to open the Hard-skinned Fruit like this shows that she observed very carefully. That's great."

I strongly suspect that Lei Xiu is just blindly exaggerating, but Le Zhi is buying it.

"Right? I think I'm smart too." With no outsiders around, Lezhi's skin thickened considerably, and she accepted the praise without hesitation.

"I plan to save these hard-skinned fruits for seed. When I have the chance, I'll bring them back for Leyou and the others to try. They're sure to be a hit."

When collecting the fruit, Yuezhi already knew through his talent that the hard-skinned fruit was both a fruit and a seed, and that he could directly use it to cultivate a hard-skinned fruit tree. However, this thing took up too much space, and since it grew in the desert, it required special sunlight and temperature conditions, making it difficult to transplant within the tribe.

If you want to eat it, there are only two ways: either he induces its birth, or you find a way to "purchase" it from the Golden Armor Clan.

"I wonder if the Golden Armor Clan would eat hard-skinned fruit. They probably would, right? Such a delicious fruit, they wouldn't miss it."

The tree spirits have no shortage of food, and most of them are unwilling to put in much effort for food, so the more Lezhi thought about it, the more uncertain it seemed.

Seeing him suddenly become distressed, Lei Xiu chuckled, raised his hand to rub his head, and said confidently, "Don't worry, even if the Golden Armor Clan didn't know before, they won't lack you in the future. You forgot, the treatment fee is whatever you ask for. If all else fails, there are other ways."

Startled by Lei Xiu's words, Le Zhi opened his mind and realized that he had indeed been overthinking things. Yes, at worst he could ask to be paid for the treatment with Hard-skinned Fruit. The Golden Armor Clan wouldn't refuse such a small request.

As for the other method Lei Xiu mentioned, Le Zhi's eyes darted around, and she immediately understood. The two of them spoke their answers in unison.

"Snow!"

"........."

They smiled at each other. Lei Xiu lowered his hand, his fingers still warm. He unconsciously rubbed his fingertips, savoring the moment, before standing up and saying, "Alright, don't eat too much fruit before dinner. Let's eat first."

Unaware of Lei Xiu's little tricks, Mao Qiu and Ke Le finished eating the hard-skinned fruit and flew to Le Zhi to ask for another one, just as Lei Xiu called them to eat.

With a helpless shrug, Lezhi indicated that she was powerless to help, "There's nothing I can do, let's eat first!"

"Tweet~"

…………

Dinner was plentiful, with the addition of round fruit spikes. Their staple food was no longer limited to noodles; they were now rotating through different dishes.

Lezhi is not a picky eater, but he doesn't like eating the same thing over and over again. He will be very happy if you can give him a little variety at each meal.

Since discovering this, Lei Xiu has been paying attention to his cooking, alternating between noodles and rice. Today is noodle day.

Even in the wild, they overcame harsh conditions and persisted in making hand-pulled noodles.

There are two kinds of sauce for the noodles: pure meat and hawthorn and worm eggs. This is Lezhi's favorite combination. Whether eaten alone or mixed together, it is a rare delicacy.

Besides, camping is a rare treat, and grilling meat and vegetables over an open fire with special seasonings is an incredibly enjoyable experience.

The soup is pork rib soup. The insects we hunted this time had a lot of cartilage along their spines, which they could chew. Some of it was grilled, and some was used to make soup, which was very flavorful.

After the meal, facing the Milky Way that filled the sky, they lay on the grass, head to head, to digest their food.

The desert heat subsides at night, and the temperature finally reaches a comfortable level before midnight. It will get colder later, so we'll have to go into the tent. During this time, we can enjoy the starry sky.

The sky was filled with countless stars, a sight he had never seen in his previous life. Even a picture couldn't compare to the beauty of this moment.

Not long after becoming engrossed in the beautiful scenery, Lezhi suddenly sighed. Just as Lei Xiu was about to ask a question, a strange aura emanated from the air as his eyes darted around.

Lezhi's helpless voice followed, "Not a moment's peace and quiet. Oh well, I'll just treat this as a post-dinner digestive aid..."
