National Games: Zhongli at the beginning, the sense of security is full

National Games time is [-]:[-] pm.

The exact date is unknown.

The location is the City of Clouds where the Celestials are located in the National Games game.

Jiang Yuan was pulled by Paimeng and surrounded by heavenly beings. Arrived at a corner.

There is a plant in the corner that is half the height of a man - as high as half a river.

The top of the plant is dotted with a palm-sized fruit that looks bright and attractive.

If Jiang Yuan were to comment, it looked like an apple, but orange.

"Jiang Yuan, this is the second fruit we discovered!" Paimeng showed it to Jiang Yuan excitedly, "Look, does it look delicious?"

"It does look delicious." Jiang Yuan nodded and commented.

"Hey, my friends," Paimon gestured to Jiang Yuan to look at the Celestial beings surrounding them, including many Celestial cubs and some who looked to be adults, "They think the City of Clouds has changed. What I am now is mainly due to you, so I decided to give you the first fruit to taste."

"Actually, I didn't do anything." Jiang Yuan was modest and discovered a small problem in Paimeng's mouth.

"Wait, the first fruit?"

"correct."

"But, didn't you say this is the second fruit?"

"This, this..." Paimeng turned his guilty gaze to the side and scratched his head, "I ate the first one."

She probably had thought about how to say it beforehand. She looked guilty, but her explanation was very smooth.

"Because we are not sure whether this fruit is delicious or not, whether it is edible or poisonous, so let me try it for you first!"

"..." Well, it's really not surprising that Paimon would do such a thing.

Jiang Yuan asked: "So, is it delicious?"

"Very tasty!"

Jiang Yuan nodded, reached out and picked the fruit under everyone's gaze, put it in his mouth and took a bite.

"..."

"How do you like it? Is it delicious?" Paimon looked expectantly, with a smile that couldn't be hidden on his face.

"Hmm...it tastes quite good." Jiang Yuan chewed naturally and said seriously after swallowing the pulp.

"Huh——? It shouldn't be. The one I ate was obviously..."

Paimon was so surprised that he almost spilled the beans.

"Obviously what?" Jiang Yuan looked at her with a smile and took another bite of the orange fruit in his hand.

"No, it's nothing." Paimeng saw that Jiang Yuan was eating well and felt a little greedy.

"That's it." Jiang Yuan glanced at her with a half-smile, then looked at the fruit in his hand.

"Since it is a newly grown fruit, I can't justify eating it alone, let alone Paimon who has already eaten one." He pondered, "How about I find a way to divide it and let everyone taste it?"

A small fruit that is only about the size of a palm needs to be distributed to hundreds of celestial beings in the entire celestial race. How small should it be divided?

Jiang Yuan has a way to make everyone eat it: use this to make some food, although the taste will definitely be much lighter. One person can do it in one bite.

However, as soon as Jiang Yuan said this, he turned to look at the heavenly beings surrounding him. They all shook their heads in unison and took a step back.

"No, no need."

"You still eat it."

"This is too... too precious. I'd better not eat it until later."

"..."

No god intends to taste this fruit.

Jiang Yuan's smile became even brighter.

He turned back to look at Paimon, who was looking at the fruit in his hand greedily.

"Would you like to take a bite? It's indeed quite sweet and juicy. It's no worse than an apple." The apples Jiang Yuan mentioned were apples from the Tevat continent.

Those apples grew in the wild, and Paimeng couldn't forget them after eating them once. For a while, he almost pulled Jiang Yuan away and killed Mond Liyue and Dao's wife's apple trees.

"Really?" Paimon was about to make a move.

"You are my best guide. Why don't I give you a fruit?" Jiang Yuan broke the fruit in half with both hands and handed the unbitten half to Paimon, "Here you go."

"Hey, then I'm welcome!"

Paimon rubbed his little hands eagerly, took the fruit and took a big bite: "Aaah!"

Her expression froze in place.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Jiang Yuan chuckled.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Paimeng's big eyes burst into tears, "Yes, it's so delicious."

"Then just finish it." Jiang Yuan ate half of the food in his hand.

This fruit does not have a core like an apple, and it appears that the seeds grow elsewhere.

he thought to himself.

"Jiang Yuan, you can actually eat it!" Paimeng was stunned, holding half of it in his hand and not knowing how to eat it.

"Didn't you say it's delicious? Why can't you eat it if it's so delicious?"

At this point, everyone must have seen it.

This fruit is not at all as attractive as it looks.

It tastes sour and astringent in the mouth, and the juice is quite juicy, but the juice is also sour and astringent, making it difficult to swallow.

Only after Jiang Yuan took his mouthful did he realize that he had been deceived: Paimon must have tasted the fruit and found it was not delicious, so he planned to trick him into trying it.

The sour smell of the fruit went directly to his head, and it was so irritating that he kept a normal expression, his mind worked quickly, and he came up with a trick, coaxing Paimeng to take a bite.

If it were anyone else, Jiang Yuan's strategy might not work.

Didn’t the gods next to me just reject it outright?

But if you want to deceive Paimon, there are really many chances of success.

Paimon is known to have a greedy mouth.

From the audience in the live broadcast room to the participants in the national sports games, from the elves to today's celestial beings, everyone is basically very clear about this.

Some contestants or countries who don't like Jiang Yuan even plan to use this to cause trouble when the contestants can deal with each other.

The second thing is that the fruit looks really deceptive.

Even though the sour taste still lingers in his mouth, Jiang Yuan feels that when he sees such a fruit again, he will still think in his heart, "If it's just that one that doesn't taste good because I didn't think about it well, this one will be delicious." idea.

Not to mention Paimon.

No, the idea of ​​tricking Jiang Yuan into eating the fruit came true, and he also ate it.

"After all, it is the first fruit to grow in Cloud City. It is better not to waste it and eat it all."

Jiang Yuan said this.

That's why he ate his half of the fruit directly.

He knew his body very well, and after tasting the fruit, he discovered that besides destroying the taste buds, the fruit had no other negative effects.

Not only that, he could also feel the sense of clarity brought by the sour taste - of course, it could not be ruled out that it was because it was too unpalatable.

Beyond that, it seems to have a weak, body-enhancing effect.

Jiang Yuan's physique is too strong and the effect is not very obvious.

Seeing Paimon struggling to eat the fruit, Jiang Yuan made the next decision in his heart——

When Cloud City produces more of this kind of good stuff in the future, shouldn't it be put on the shelves of the National Games Mall so that other contestants can have a taste?
