Chapter 44 Alchemy Insect

It was noon when I got home from the Law Enforcement Department.

Feeling hungry, Ji Xiu took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and made a simple lunch to cope with the problem.

In the afternoon, Ji Xiu began to look through the chat records on his mobile phone and searched the room to collect relevant information about Tong Wan.

Before Shen Ke, the team leader of the law enforcement department, gave him a reply, Ji Xiu felt that he should find something to do.

If there is anything that can help the development of the next timeline, it is the collection of wishes. He wants to compile a wish list by collecting Tong Wan's information, and try to complete the easier-to-achieve goals above.

In doing so, he can not only collect willing power to exchange for basic abilities and extraordinary abilities, but also deepen his understanding of Tong Wan. Maybe Tong Wan's identity will be used for other purposes in the future.

After a busy afternoon, Ji Xiu recorded what Tong Wan wanted to do in his notebook.

Much of this information is collected in chat history.

Putting down his pen, Ji Xiu picked up the notebook placed on the coffee table, which contained Tong Wan's wish list he had collected.

1. Learn photography and capture and record the beautiful scenery in the world.

2. Go to the snowy city in the north and settle there for a while.

3. I hope to achieve some achievements in my career, such as being promoted to a higher position and receiving a badge of honor from the Yujing Church.

4. I hope that I can travel with my parents and younger brother every year and have a meaningful family vacation.

5. Purchase an S series racing boat produced by Gold Coin Company.

6. Raise an alchemy bug.

7. Own a house of your own.

……

There are more than 30 wishes listed in the notebook.

Ji Xiu simply chose to ignore most of these wishes, after all, he simply couldn't do them.

For example, if he wants freedom of wealth or promotion to a higher position, this is simply beyond his ability.

Crossing out the unrealistic wishes in his notebook, he was left with 7 wishes that he could achieve.

Putting down his laptop, Ji Xiu took out his mobile phone and opened the shopping app.

Decide to get the goals you can accomplish with money first.

Tong Wan has accumulated 23 yuan from working over the years. Although it cannot be used for big-money wishes such as buying a house, it can fulfill most of the small wishes that can be solved with money.

For example, buy an S-series racing boat produced by Gold Coin Company.

Enter "gold coin S-type racing boat" in the search bar of the shopping website, and related products will be listed on the page.

Seeing the price of the product, Ji Xiu suddenly understood why Tong Wan had never purchased it. He only mentioned in a chat with his friends that he must buy one in the future.

Because the lowest version of an S-series racing boat is priced at 15 yuan, and Tong Wan’s monthly salary is only yuan. A year’s income without food or water is not enough to buy an S-series racing boat. tower.

The most important thing is that this is not a fishing boat that goes out to sea, but something similar to a remote control toy.

Ji Xiu discovered very early on that there were no virtual electronic games in the entire Yu Jing Kingdom, and the main form of entertainment was various toys, which led to many gaming methods.

For example, boat racing, fish racing, etc.

These projects are similar to Marseilles, cockfights, and cricket fights in the past world. They mainly create an exciting atmosphere through games.

The price of a racing toy is as high as 15, so it’s no wonder that Tong Wan is reluctant to buy it.

But Tong Wan was reluctant to give it up, and he was willing to give it up.

Even if the body seizing plan in this timeline went smoothly, he would not be able to escape the pursuit one month later, and he would not be able to escape death.

If the plan doesn't go well, he will die too.

Spend money to gain the power of will. It is simply a costless business, with guaranteed profits and no losses.

After pulling the racing boat into the shopping cart, Ji Xiu clicked to pay, and the facial verification showed that the purchase was successful.

After looking at the deduction notification in the text message, there was still a balance of 8 yuan. Ji Xiu continued shopping without any distress.

K09 camera, gold coin headphones, air purifying grass... After purchasing 6 items that Tong Wan wanted in a row, the balance in the card was only .

The last item was an alchemy bug. After entering the information in the search bar of the shopping website, Ji Xiu pressed search.

Unexpectedly, the information that pops up on the page shows that the alchemy bug cannot be purchased through online shopping.

Out of curiosity, he opened the search encyclopedia and entered "alchemy bug" to check the relevant information. The information he then looked up made Ji Xiu understand what an alchemy bug is.

The Alchemy Bug is an arthropod beetle that originates from the coastal areas of Starlight City. It has a flat oval shape and a body length of about one centimeter.

The surface of the alchemy insect in the encyclopedia picture is covered with a smooth layer, and the whole body is ancient gold, as if it is made of pure gold. The head has a pair of slender and curved tentacles, which are covered with sensitive sensory organ dots. To sense changes in the surrounding environment, at the bottom of the tentacles, there is a pair of crystal clear eyes, which are deep red and as bright as rubies.

In addition to its gorgeous appearance, the biggest feature of the Alchemy Bug in the encyclopedia introduction is that it stores a special kind of venom in its chest.

If bitten accidentally and not treated within a short period of time, it is very easy to die suddenly.

This kind of bug has low-level intelligence, feeds on plants, and will not actively attack any animals. It can be raised as a pet through artificial breeding. The Law Enforcement Department has raised a group of specially trained alchemy bugs, which are better than law enforcement dogs in special environments. Better to use.

But if ordinary people want to buy it, they need to pass relevant assessments to obtain breeding qualifications. After understanding the reason, an idea suddenly appeared in Ji Xiu's mind.

This stuff is good!
  He had this idea not because he thought the alchemy bugs were gorgeous and good-looking, but because he thought the alchemy bugs were deadly poisonous.

With the two special abilities of soul transfer and time restart, Ji Xiu feels that he can be invincible in any situation. At most, everything can be restarted from scratch.

But there is one exception.

He had imagined the possibility of how he could escape if his secret was accidentally exposed.

Realizing that he has time to reactivate his ability to transfer souls, the enemy in the dark will most likely not kill him, but seal him by imprisoning him.

Not being able to survive or die, this situation is the most desperate.

He thought about how he would break out of this situation.

This time he suddenly saw the introduction of the alchemy bug, and an idea came to his mind.

Is it possible to buy an alchemy bug and keep it with you as a pet at all times? The alchemy bug, which is only 1 cm long, is easy to hide when carried on your body and can be used as a means of protection.

If he is unable to escape or is restricted and imprisoned, he can kill himself with alchemy bugs and restart himself back to the starting point, or turn his soul into alchemy bugs.

If this method is feasible, in the future each timeline can raise an alchemy bug to deal with the crisis.

After having an idea, Ji Xiu looked at the time on his phone.

It's 5:23 in the evening.

After searching for the location of a nearby pet shop on his mobile phone, Ji Xiu immediately got up and left the apartment, took a driverless taxi and went straight to the pet shop three kilometers away.

After a long time, the taxi stopped at the destination.

After getting out of the car, I looked up and saw that there were flowerpots filled with brightly colored plants at the door of the pet store, and the door plaque showed a huge beckoning pet cat.

When you enter the store, the bell on the door rings, and you are greeted by a spacious and bright space. The ceiling of the store is filled with lamps of various colors, and there are many pet photos and decorative paintings on the walls, making the whole store look very warm. .

On both sides of the store are pet display areas, with various pet cages and cabins. There are many types of pets locked up, such as puppies, kittens, goldfish, parrots, etc. Basically, there are all types of pets. In the center are the shelves and counters, which are filled with all kinds of pet supplies, from pet toys, care products, grooming tools to various flavors of pet food.

The clerk was a young woman who looked to be in her 20s. She was wearing work clothes and was feeding the pet cat in the cage. When she saw him coming in, she immediately stood up and looked at him:

"Hello, what do you need?"

"I want to raise an alchemy bug."

Hearing that Ji Xiu wanted to buy alchemy bugs, the clerk was stunned for a moment, then put down the nutrition bar in his hand and said with a slightly puzzled expression:

"Raising alchemy bugs requires a special breeding license. Do you have one?"

"Not yet. Are there any certification services here?"

Ji Xiu checked the relevant information before coming here, and naturally knew that purchasing alchemy bugs requires certification, and most pet stores have services to assist in applying for qualifications.

"Yes, the exam process is not difficult. You only need to memorize the feeding rules and then complete a round of assessment."

Ji Xiu immediately felt relieved when he heard that the pet store had the qualifications to apply.

Then the clerk turned around and entered the pet store compartment, took out a printed document and handed it to him:

"After memorizing the above content completely, go to the Pet Qualification Certification Center No. 03 in Area A of Starlight City to complete the assessment, and then you can order alchemy bugs from me."

After taking the document, Ji Xiu paid the fee and turned to leave.

Looking through the contents of the document, there is a lot to memorize, mainly related to matters that need to be paid attention to when raising alchemy bugs.

For example, alchemy bugs are not allowed to be released after purchase, and are not allowed to be carried in public facilities, etc.

After returning home, Ji Xiu spent half a day memorizing the above content. Although there is a high probability that alchemy bugs will not be needed in this timeline, being familiar with the breeding process in advance can save a lot of trouble in the later timeline.

The next day, Ji Xiu came to the Pet Qualification Certification Center to take part in the breeding assessment.

The assessment content is all multiple-choice questions. As long as you memorize the contents of the document, it is not difficult to pass the assessment.

In the last column, you need to fill in why you want to raise alchemy bugs.

The reason given by Ji Xiu was very simple. He said he liked the appearance of alchemy bugs very much. This was also the reason why Tong Wan wanted to raise alchemy bugs.

Although alchemy bugs are highly venomous, there are no records of fatal bites so far.

This kind of bug will not actively attack any animals. It usually feeds on plants. It seems dangerous, but in fact it does not pose many safety risks. This is one of the reasons why alchemy bugs can be raised by individuals.

Another important reason is that alchemy bugs are very ancient sacrificial items and are often used in prayer ceremonies.

Raising alchemy bugs is an ancient traditional custom in the Yu Jing Kingdom, but nowadays fewer and fewer people keep them, and they have gradually become unpopular pets.

On the day after completing the certification, Ji Xiu came to the pet shop again.

Seeing him showing his breeding qualification certificate, the clerk did not refuse this time and took a golden insect egg from the compartment.

According to the clerk's explanation, you only need to carry the eggs with you and use your body temperature to hatch them. The hatched alchemy bugs will remember the aura of the incubator and regard them as their owners.

After leaving the pet shop, Ji Xiu was about to take a taxi home when his cell phone rang.

The caller ID was Tong Wan's team leader in the law enforcement department: Shen Ke.
