"SQUEAK! SQUEAK!" Shen Yibin was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a noise from his shoulder. He turned to see Maphario climbing up his arm, holding a long, oval fruit in its paws. It was covered in a silvery-gray fuzz and had a few wing-like appendages. The creature was holding it up for him to see.
"What kind of fruit is this? A seed you found at the lumberyard?" Shen Yibin asked curiously, taking it. 'This little guy never forgets to collect seeds, no matter where he goes,' he thought. 'Knowing Maphario's taste, any seed it picks has to be extraordinary.'
"SQUEAK! SQUEAK!" Maphario pointed at the nearby Heaven-Reaching Tree, then back at the fruit in Shen Yibin's hand. It seemed to be saying that the fruit had come from that very tree!
