Beast Control: Starting from raising silkworms and becoming the King of Insects

Chapter 10
Jingle Bell----

The next morning, just after dawn, Russell was disturbed by a rapid ringing of the doorbell.

There are usually not many visitors to the Omushi House, and it is not during business hours now. If someone comes to the door so early, it is probably because of the response to the recruitment information sent yesterday.

"You don't have to apply so early...Is the employment pressure so high for college students at the Beast Control School now?"

Glancing at the wall clock on the wall that had just turned 6 o'clock, he got up from the bed and quickly changed clothes and washed himself while silently complaining.

Probably because no one in the house responded, the doorbell soon turned into a knock on the door.

"Stop knocking, stop knocking, this old iron door is 20 years old!"

It felt like the store door would be knocked down if he kept silent. Russell could only hold the toothbrush in his mouth and hurriedly opened the rolling shutter door.

As soon as the store door opened, a tall figure suddenly rushed in, hugged his shoulders and said with a playful smile:
"Russell, if you still don't get up for morning exercises at dawn, do you still want to be a beast master?"

Russell was choked by this sudden move and his face turned red. After a while, he regained his composure and saw the person clearly.

He is estimated to be nearly 1.9 meters tall, and even wearing loose sportswear can hardly hide his explosive tendons. This figure is paired with a round face that always has a silly smile on it. It is exactly what his predecessor grew up with - —Lu Dahu.

He and Russell have been classmates and neighbors since kindergarten, and they are also very close buddies. Lu Dahu left Senluo City a year ago because of transferring schools, so he should have graduated successfully.

Lu Dahu suddenly showed up the day after the recruitment information was released. Russell couldn't help but wonder if this guy was unemployed right after graduation and couldn't find a job. He wanted to come to Yuchongwu to make a transition...?
But he quickly dismissed the idea.

Lu Dahu has dreamed of becoming a professional beast master since he was a child. When he was admitted to the Senluo Beast Master Academy, he chose the combat department. His grades were always among the best during his studies, otherwise he would not have been recommended. He went to the south as a one-year invited student. The capital of the principality furthered his studies.

It is easy for such an excellent quasi-professional beast master to find a job, so how could he come to the Chongwu House and work as an intern clerk to dawdle around.

Just when Russell was confused, Lu Dahu waved to the door.

"We two brothers haven't seen each other for a year, why are you so stunned! Ningning, come here and say hello."

Following his gaze, Russell saw that there was a girl wearing a college uniform following behind Lu Dahu.

"Hello, my name is Lu Yinning... I am a senior student in the Breeding Department of Senluo Beast Control Academy, majoring in daily pet animal care and basic pathology."

This girl looks somewhat similar to Lu Dahu, with the same round face, but her demeanor and tone are very quiet, and she looks very shy, which is completely opposite to Lu Dahu.

"Russell, the internship credit system for training students is clear, but my sister is too introverted. It might be difficult for her to find an internship on her own. I'm also afraid that she will meet some weird people..."

After the greetings, Lu Dahu briefly explained his intention.

It turned out that it was not him who was looking for a job, but his sister Lu Yinning.

"I do want to recruit a trainee clerk to help with the business, but the job content is to take care of the insect-type pets in the store. I need to be in close contact with insects every day, and I have to clean up the insect sand. Your sister..."

Russell seemed a little hesitant about Lu Dahu's recommendation.

Anyway, everyone is recruiting, so he doesn't mind helping Lu Dahu with this small favor, but many girls are very afraid of insect beasts, especially worm-like larvae and multi-legged insects. If Lu Yinning is not qualified for the job after taking up the job, That would be difficult.

"Don't worry, although my girl is introverted, she is very good at professional courses. Every course is A-grade. Not to mention insect beasts, even the sand-tailed hydralis she dares to sleep with. She will never do it. bother you!"

After hearing what Russell meant, Lu Dahu immediately patted his chest and promised.

The Sand-tailed Hydralisk is a gold-level venomous pet. It is famous for its ferocious temperament and good at hiding. It looks somewhat similar to the real-life rattlesnake. An adult Sand-tailed Hydralisk will also have a row of bone spurs growing on both sides of its body. , adding a bit of ferocity to this already scary creature.After listening to Lu Dahu's praise for his sister, Russell called out in his heart what a good guy...

He is nervous when talking to people, but is fearless when facing ferocious beasts. How come this strange contrast in the character seems to have been seen in many novels and animations?

However, it was not that he wanted to sleep with the sand-tailed hydralis anyway. Russell fully respected Lu Yinning's personal hobbies, as long as she was qualified for the job.

When his predecessor's parents were still alive, the business of Yuchongwu was still good, and more than one batch of interns were recruited. Russell took out various forms that had not been used up and asked Lu Yinning to register them. He also explained in detail the daily work in the store. The time came to noon before I knew it.

To express his gratitude, Lu Dahu ordered a sumptuous lunch from the "Big Stomach Beast Takeout". The three of them chatted while eating, and Lu Yinning's social fear was relieved a lot.

After eating and drinking, Lu Dahu, who rarely made a trip back to Fenglin Road, was not in a hurry to leave and continued chatting with Russell about home affairs.

"By the way, I remember you said that the business in the store was not very good. Why are you suddenly recruiting interns again?"

In his impression, the business of the Royal Bug House became unsustainable after the absence of Russell's parents. Initially, he invited Russell to come to Longquan City, the capital of the Southern Principality, for development, but Russell was determined to keep the Pet House founded by his parents. After being declined, Lu Dahu I didn’t mention it again.

"I plan to change my career to become a professional beast master. I often need to go out, so I have to recruit a clerk to take care of the pet beasts in the store."

Faced with his friend who grew up together, Russell had nothing to hide and directly stated his future plans.

"You kid! Why don't you tell me such a big thing? Come on, let's have a fight!"

After hearing the news, Lu Dahu suddenly became interested. He stood up quickly and shouted that he wanted to fight Russell immediately.

When it comes to topics such as the battle between professional beast masters and pet beasts, Lu Dahu is always very enthusiastic. Before Russell can answer, he has already raised his hand to summon his contracted pet beast.

When the hazy halo in the beast-controlling space lit up and then dissipated, a dog-shaped pet beast with dark fur and purple-black flames on its forehead and ankles appeared in front of Lu Dahu.

Roar--!
With a wild growl, sparks swayed around the dog-shaped beast, and the temperature in the insect room seemed to rise a lot.

"Cocoon of Evolution" could only see the detailed information of the insect-type pet. Facing this somewhat unfamiliar pet, Russell took out his mobile phone.

In an era where beast-controlling civilization is highly developed, any smart electronic device will have its own illustrated book and simple scanning function. As long as the pet beast you encounter is not too rare, you can immediately obtain its general information.

"Devil Dog
Attributes: fire, evil
Bloodline Level: Gold
Life energy level: Level [-]

Skills: Cursed Black Flame, Black Hell Strike"

"How about it, handsome!"

Stroking this majestic canine-shaped pet, Lu Dahu's face was filled with pride.

Because it has a small amount of abyssal blood, the physical strength of the demon dog is among the best among gold-level pets. The innate skill Cursed Black Flame can burn the energy in the opponent's body and exert a debilitating effect. If close combat continues, many platinum-level pets may not be its opponents.

Facing Lu Dahu, who was full of fighting spirit, Russell didn't want to let down the fun, and he really wanted to see what Ayou's strength would be after evolving across levels.

"Let's go fight outside. My little shop can't stand your trouble..."

Although the Imperial Insect House has a backyard, the area is only a hundred or ten square meters. This devil dog is very fierce at first sight, and it can burn up the few mulberry trees in the backyard with a simple wave of black flames.

In order to save his poor little shop, Russell quickly pulled Lu Dahu to a public training ground near the Chongwu House.
