Chapter 412 Insects that Can Farm
Boss Xiao didn't know that there was a special EVA machine hidden in Red Sea City. As usual, he appeared in the garbage street of Red Sea City at this moment.
Although the city was breached by sea beasts, thanks to the massive spiritual cores brought by the beast tide and the consumption of war, the garbage trade in Red Sea City has become unusually prosperous, and the prices of various materials have risen.
Boss Xiao smelled the business opportunities inside and decided to make another fortune in the war. He asked Amin to contact the headquarters to help stabilize the inflation in Red Sea City.
Several parties acted separately.
Boss Xiao got into the garbage market.
He walked all the way from Sea Snake Road to Giant Whale Gate. Although he encountered many world products with different attributes, there were not many surprises overall.
"Boss, come and see, there are many bamboo seeds here, and the green bamboo elves are in for a treat."
Several Taobao customers came to a stall.
There were many giant insect corpses on the stall. A closer look revealed that it was a colorful giant spider with missing arms and legs, as if it had been bitten by some large animal. The shell on its back was shattered, probably because it had fallen from a height.
The spider was five or six meters in diameter, and there were several small spiders next to the cockroaches, as well as several colorful silk bags, which seemed to be woven with special spider silk, containing various plant seeds, including many bamboo seeds, with more than a dozen varieties, but they all looked like ordinary plants.
It was rare to encounter so many bamboo species at once.
"No, this spider seems to be weird..."
The double pupils saw through the essence.
Boss Xiao carefully examined the spider's corpse and found that there was a strange sac-like organ in the spider's abdomen, which exuded vitality. There was actually a seed inside, and it was an extraordinary plant seed with abundant energy.
"Giant insects... contain plant seeds in their bodies... I feel that this setting is very familiar."
Xiao Yang filtered through the memories of the first half of his life, and then his eyes were determined.
"Damn, this can't be garbage from the Force Star Realm."
Boss Xiao remembered a novel called "Star Cockroach" that he had read many years ago. The protagonist is a cockroach, living in a place called the Force Star Realm (actually another version of the Earth), where there live Zerg warriors who like to farm.
These insects have very strange abilities. There is a life capsule in their bodies that can breed ordinary plant seeds into life seeds (from ordinary plants to extraordinary plants). By managing their own life seed plants, they can harvest the Force food needed for growth and form a wonderful symbiotic relationship with plants.
The fruits grown from different plants have different types of strengthening effects. After eating some plant fruits called "God-given seeds" (extraordinary plants bred in nature rather than extraordinary plants bred through life seeds), you can even gain strange innate abilities.
"It should be... The only insects that meet these characteristics are those who can farm, so this spider should be a traveling merchant."
Boss Xiao touched his chin.
The spider merchant can only breed one life seed in his lifetime. In order to obtain the force food needed for growth, he embarked on the road of traveling. The spider silk bags they weave have the effect of extending the shelf life of food.
"It's a pity that the life seed plant and the merchant are in a symbiotic relationship. The seed in the life bag is probably dead." Boss Xiao scanned it with his spiritual sense. Sure enough, the seeds in the life bag were lifeless and most of them could not be planted.
However, even if the life seed died, these insects are still valuable. Just the strange characteristics of being able to breed ordinary plant seeds into extraordinary plants are worth studying.
It can be said to turn decay into magic.
"Boss, how much is the spider?"
"A fourth-level spirit core, fresh goods just picked up from the garbage island, selling at a low price."
The stall owner was very enthusiastic. This spider was colorful and poisonous at first glance, and there was not much meat on its thin arms and legs, so there were not many interested customers.
Boss Xiao estimated that the strength of this flame spider merchant should be about the lord level. It was unclear how old it was, so it should not suffer a loss. (ps: The life cycle of insects is generally measured by age)
"How about packing all these seeds and spiders together for a fourth-level spirit core?"
"Uh, okay."
The seeds are not valuable, and the spiders don't have much meat, so the stall owner readily agreed.
"By the way, boss, are there any similar insect corpses? For example, cockroaches, ants, etc."
"No, there are none."
"Really? Think about it again..."
The Mangekyō Sharingan in Boss Xiao's hand turned.
Two seconds later, after some mental PUA, Xiao Yang confirmed that the other party did not hide any spam information.
"Okay, if there is any similar garbage, remember to sell it to Zhutian Garbage Recycling Company."
"That's a must, we are friends."
The stall owner came back to his senses, and said goodbye to Boss Xiao enthusiastically, as if he was very familiar with him. Obviously, his subconscious mind had quietly changed.
"Alas, I have become the person I hate after all."
Boss Xiao shook his head.
Continue shopping.
There were people selling sea king carcasses, exotic shellfish and edible sea plants, and even Rei Ayanami's original disposable underwear. In short, there was everything...
Suddenly, there was a commotion in front.
"Brother Xiao, there seems to be treasures being sold over there."
"Let's go and have a look."
Everyone squeezed through the crowd and saw a young man in the Totsuki Academy uniform selling the garbage he had just picked up.
"Come and see, come and see, this is a magical and extraordinary ship that will take you on a ride on the wind and waves, ceded at a loss."
The young man raised the black boat high so that the onlookers could see it more clearly.
This boat is quite small, only more than one foot long, but it is a black paper boat, as if it was folded at random.
The black paper boat looks ordinary, but its whole body has a sense of simplicity, as if it has experienced countless years, and there seems to be a little dried blood on it.
"What? It turns out to be a paper boat. It doesn't feel very sturdy."
"Yes, yes, and it's only this big, so it's too small. There's no place to put the eggs."
"..."
The melon-eating people watching shook their heads and complained.
Anyway, belittling merchants' products is a common practice among people who eat melons.
However, the young man was not hit by their words. Instead, he patted his chest and retorted very skillfully.
"Everyone, how can we look at the surface when we pick up trash? Don't think this boat is ordinary. Feel the material and ask your conscience, is this ordinary paper? It is obviously made of god-level extraordinary materials. If you don’t believe me, you can try to chop it with a knife. If there is even a scratch, you can chop it on my head.”
The boy from Totsuki personally slashed several times at the paper boat.
He is a fourth-level superpower, but he slashed at the black paper boat with all his strength without any damage, as if there was an invisible force protecting the hull.
The magical effect immediately brightened the eyes of onlookers.
This gave the young man more confidence.
He let go of his hand, and the black paper boat floated quietly in the air.
"High-end garbage often has the simplest appearance. Although it looks like a small paper boat, it has the property of being unsinkable. If it is activated with energy and takes off directly on the spot, it will actually be like running on the sea from home, killing people and scavenging. We have prepared a treasure ship..."
It was obvious that this young man had a strong sales talent, and when he boasted, he sounded like an endless stream of beasts. A group of melon-eating scavengers were stunned when they heard this.
Many people expressed interest in this black paper ship that can be used both for sea and air purposes, and asked about the price.
"I won't brag, I'll sell it sincerely, ten fifth-level spiritual cores, let's make friends..."
Wow.
As soon as the quotation came out, the crowd went into an uproar.
"A broken ship actually requires ten fifth-level spiritual cores. Isn't the price too high?"
"Haha, I'm afraid you're crazy about money."
"No, no, it's too expensive. The price is obviously exaggerated."
The melon-eating crowd shook their heads.
But the young man didn't buy it either. He looked in disbelief and retorted with a long face.
"Why is it so expensive? The price of running equipment has been the same for so many years. Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. It's hard for everyone now to have the beast wave. Sometimes you have to look for your own reasons. Have your levels improved over the years? Have you taken it seriously? Picking up trash..."
The young boy from Toyue then said that this type of flying boat equipment is very rare. It would definitely not be at this price at the auction house, and he would not be able to find it even if he wanted to sell it.
It's a pity that everyone is not stupid. How can a paper boat that is only three meters long be compared with a serious big flying boat? The practical area is too small.
Therefore, the crowd gradually dispersed like birds and beasts.
"...Hey, don't leave. We can negotiate the price later."
