Li Kai really froze for a moment. Watermelon that tasted like banana?
He immediately took another bite of the differently colored flesh. Sure enough, the taste of banana filled his mouth again.
It was real.
The watermelon had grown a banana flavor.
Just then,
Academician Li exclaimed in surprise, "Professor Li Kai, this watermelon actually has three flavors! The watermelon you've been researching is incredible!"
Academician Lin chimed in, "That's right. This is the first time I've ever eaten a watermelon with three flavors. No wonder it has three colors."
"Professor Li Kai, you're amazing!" Academician Chu said.
Hearing their words, Li Kai felt a little awkward. This really had nothing to do with him. Fortunately, he had taken the blame so many times that he'd become a natural at it. He wouldn't give himself away, either.
Still, this time he was a little puzzled. The previous crop mutations had been caused by the Special Soil, but there wasn't any Special Soil in this planting area.
Yet these watermelons had mutated, producing such a special fruit with three colors and three flavors.
This was even more impressive than genetic mutation caused by the Special Soil.
Could crops that had mutated because of the Special Soil have a chance to mutate again?
If so, it would be truly remarkable.
Perhaps after the low-temperature gene technology was released, he could do some research on this and see if he could produce watermelons with four, five, six, or even seven colors.
Then the watermelon wouldn't just be a watermelon anymore.
Li Kai took a bite of the flesh in the third color and chewed. Immediately, he tasted a sweet, fragrant peach flavor.
Besides the watermelon's own flavor, this watermelon also had two other flavors: banana and peach.
