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

Chapter 4 Rapid Growth

It's no wonder that the researcher lady feels strange. After all, the dwarf grass is still a grass in nature, and it has the characteristics of a herbaceous plant.

Even if it's not summer yet and the weather is cool, the harvested dwarf grass can only be stored for about a week before it dries up and rots. Others are claiming more than ten kilograms or at most dozens of kilograms. Who would apply for one at once? Complete vehicle.

Even if the problem of energy disorder is not taken into consideration at all, normal pet beasts cannot eat so many grass leaves. If you collect a large amount of dark lamp grass, you may use it for poisoning...

"That's right... I am the owner of an insect pet shop. I have recently been trying to optimize the cultivation method of black-ringed silkworms. There are dozens of black-ringed silkworm larvae in the store, and I can almost eat these dungeons in a week."

Realizing that the researcher lady's expression was not good, Russell quickly retrieved the Yu Chongwu Electronics Business License from his mobile phone and handed it over.

Although only the insect-type pet beasts that have signed a beast-control contract with him can truly break through the limitations of bloodline and number of evolutions, there is no such restriction in screening and removing excess energy from the pet beasts. Since we want to try to use the dark lamp grass to strengthen the ghost of the black-ringed celestial silkworm larvae Because of energy, naturally the family must be neat and tidy.

Fortunately, Omushiya is a regular store that has been run by the original parent for more than ten years, and all procedures are in place, which finally dispels the researcher's concerns.

Realizing that she had misunderstood Russell, the researcher lady seemed a little embarrassed. She thought about it, then took out her mobile phone and added Russell's communication friends, and then said with a slight apology:

"I'm rude just now. My name is Li Moran. I am a trainee researcher at the Fossil Museum. I major in paleontology and pet animal breeding. If your breeding method has achieved results, you can contact me again. Several universities in the Senluo Beast Control Alliance have them. I can help you apply for some subsidies for subsidy support projects in this area."

Being able to get to know an official researcher, and also have the opportunity to apply for support subsidies, Russell certainly had no reason to refuse such good things that came to his door.

Of course, he also understands that even if he knows the researchers working here, the prerequisite for successfully applying for subsidies is that the cultivation work must be fruitful.

Fortunately, with the help of the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, it is relatively simple for Russell to make some achievements in cultivating insect-type pets.

…………

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic researcher Miss Li Moran, Russell led the small truck filled with dwarf grass back to Fenglin Road.

The shop area of ​​the Imperial Insect House is limited, but the small yard with mulberry trees and other insect-type pet beasts growing rations in the backyard is quite spacious. Sealed bags containing dungeons are carefully stacked in the corner of the yard, and several pieces of cardboard are used to surround the city to prevent wind. A simple guardrail, and then sprinkle some water to moisturize the grass blades and prevent dust from flying away. This is what the truck driver uncle told him to pay attention to.

After finishing the preparations, Russell immediately took out some Stygian Light Grass and sprinkled it evenly in the incubation box where the Black-ringed Cecropia larvae lived.

rustle--

Smelling the ghost energy contained in the Styx, the black-ringed silkworm larvae threw away the half-eaten ordinary mulberry leaves and climbed up the dark green stems and leaves of the Styx to eat.

Among the brothers and sisters hatched from the same batch of pet eggs, Ayou was the most active. It directly spun out silk threads to tie up a large bunch of dark lamp grass, and then hid on the climbing tree in the incubation box and slowly enjoyed it.

Seeing that less than half of the dwarf grass had been wiped out shortly after being put in, Russell took some more from the backyard and sprinkled them in the box.

After feeding the black-ringed silkworm larvae twice with Stygian grass, and also optimizing the growth energy of all the black-ringed silkworm larvae to remove excess plant and water energy from their bodies, Russell felt dizzy from exhaustion.

"No wonder they say that beast masters with nurturing talents are working for pet beasts..."

Using the beast master's talent will consume the beast master's physical strength and spirit. This is another common sense in the world of beast masters. Fortunately, the cultivation targets are only weak black-ringed silkworm larvae with no resistance at all. Otherwise, he would be a first-level beast master. With such strength, it is estimated that he will be exhausted after using his talent skills only a few times.

Thinking that he had to open the business in the afternoon, Russell took a few bites of bread and lay on the single bed in the small compartment at the front and fell asleep.

…………

In his dream, he vaguely saw Ayou constantly evolving, growing in strength by leaps and bounds, and finally turning into a soaring blue dragon...

"Um...Why is it almost dark?"

When he woke up, Russell found that he had overslept.It was almost dusk at this time, and it seemed that business could not be done today. He simply got up and used the remaining ingredients in the refrigerator to make himself a fairly sumptuous dinner.

Stir-fried meat with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and a side of stir-fried cabbage. This combination is so classic no matter where it is in the world, and it will whet your appetite.

After eating, Russell walked to the incubator again to look at the condition of the black-ringed silkworm.

After eating two large handfuls of dwarf grass, the other larvae had bulging bellies and lay quietly on the climbing logs and box walls to rest. Only Ayou seemed to have not eaten enough, shaking his head and pulling around in the box. Gnawing the bald stems of dungeon.

After signing the beast control contract, he and Ayou had a spiritual connection, and as long as they concentrated a little, they could see its detailed information.

"Black-ringed silkworm larvae"

Growth progress: 51%

Among them, insect energy accounts for 44%, plant energy accounts for 4%, ghost energy accounts for 2%, and poison energy accounts for 1%."

What Russell didn't expect was that Ayou's total growth rate had soared by 11% in just half a day. Even if plants and poisonous energy were removed, the effective growth rate had reached 8%.

Compared with the cultivation results that only reached about 50% in the previous half year, this speed is comparable to that of a rocket.

After the surprise, he turned his attention to other black-ringed silkworm larvae that had not signed a beast-control contract. Their growth progress was much slower than Ayou's, but they also increased by about 3% on average.

This is almost ten times the normal cultivation speed!
Russell knew that the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent played a huge role in cultivating insect-type beasts, but he never thought that it would make such rapid progress.

After all, eating and accumulating energy is a slow process. Even if the energy contained in the dark lamp grass is many times higher than that of ordinary mulberry leaves, Russell originally estimated that it would take at least a day or two to notice the difference.

It seems that screening the energy in the body can not only select the evolutionary direction of insect-type pets, but also significantly increase the growth rate.

Calculating at the current rate, by the time all the dwarf grass piled in the backyard are eaten, it will be almost time for Ayou to form a cocoon.

Speaking of cocooning, Russell, who has a strong preference for insect-based beasts, has learned a lot of relevant knowledge in the past month.

For example, the success rate of cocoon evolution and attribute growth are not only related to the cultivation of the larvae, but also the environment during cocooning, the quality of the silk, and the thickness of the cocoon.

To put it simply, the cocoon that is conducive to the evolution and transformation of insect beasts must first have a certain thickness and toughness, otherwise the energy generated during evolution will leak out, and the extremely fragile larvae during the transformation process are also easily affected by changes in the external environment. Reduce the improvement brought by evolution.

However, when the larvae are making cocoons, they cannot simply stack worm silk to ensure the strength of the cocoons, because after evolution is completed, the weak larvae still need to break out of the cocoons in time, otherwise they are in danger of suffocating in the cocoons.

Therefore, if you want to make the best quality cocoon, you must develop the ability to use worm silk proficiently, and at the same time, you must improve the quality of worm silk in order to weave a thin and stable cocoon with a small amount of worm silk but full of toughness. .

This box of black-ringed silkworm larvae spins a lot of silk every day, but the quality is not high. The silk easily dries and hardens in the air and breaks when pulled. The materials purchased by the material purchaser are basically the same as those prescribed by the industry. lowest price.

Because he was so busy with the business of the insect house, Russell had never specifically trained them to spin silk before.

But now that he has talent in hand and has contracted his first pet beast, training Ayou's skills must be put on the agenda.

With the idea of ​​giving it a try, Russell issued a clear instruction to Ayou for the first time:

"Ayou, use silk spinning."
