Chapter 856 New Pet, Bugs

"Cluck, cluck!" After spitting out the food, the fat chicken felt much better. It tilted its head and looked at the thing in Jingshu's hand, questioning itself. What the hell was this? It was killing the chicken. It couldn't eat or poop, and it even laid fewer eggs! If Jingnai knew it wasn't laying eggs anymore, wouldn't it end up in soup?!

This is an ordinary tick, no different from the many ticks flying in the sky. It even looks like it was carved from the same mold as the other ticks.

It's just an ordinary tick.

"...I don't believe it. If it were just an ordinary tick, how could it stay in a fat chicken's stomach for three days without being digested? You know, a fat chicken digests everything it eats. It ate so many ticks, and each one was crunchy and digested in seconds."

Jingshu frowned as she held the tick in her hand and studied it carefully. She even copied a few other ticks for comparison, but found nothing.

"It seems that except that it cannot be digested by the fat chicken, everything else is the same...Huh?" Jingshu found that this special tick was lazily pinched in her hand, shaking off the mucus that came out of the fat chicken's mouth, and finally adjusted to a comfortable posture: since it can't escape, it will change to a comfortable position and lie down.

Unlike other ticks, it is afraid of the smell on her body and will struggle frantically.

The fat chicken jumped up and tried to peck the hateful tick to death several times, but Jingshu held its neck. The fat chicken expressed its grievance and wanted revenge to wash away its previous shame!

"Could this be the egg-laying queen tick?"

It doesn't look like it. It's too disappointing. Is it really that ordinary?

Jingshu considered this: while the endless supply of ticks reproduced, most were oviparous, meaning a queen laid eggs that then hatched. Even the tiny, semi-human queen, a leader in the dark biological world, had to constantly consume large quantities of food and lay eggs to hatch batch after batch of ticks.

If you want a huge sea of ​​insects, you need to lay a certain number of eggs and hatch a certain number of insects every day.

So ants have queens, bees have queens, and ticks have queens. That makes sense, right?

But the problem is that this time, even the energy pool was hollowed out. Such a large crystal was placed there, but there was not a single special insect. Logically, the place where the queen insect who laid eggs should appear most is that she is sleeping soundly with the crystal in her arms, surrounded by a group of little brothers as guards.

When Jingshu saw the empty crystal, she was quite disappointed.

Jingshu squeezed the leisurely tick in her hand and fed it a little purple liquid to see how it would react. This ordinary tick, like all other ticks, loved the purple energy and happily extended its mouthparts to suck it up.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Just when Jingshu suspected that this was really just an ordinary tick, the tick suddenly expanded from its mouthparts to its abdomen, and identical ticks suddenly flew out of its body. It was unknown whether these ticks were copied or born. In short, a large number of ticks suddenly appeared in a few seconds.

Jingshu was so shocked that her jaw dropped.

"What the hell?"

"It cracked?"

As soon as the ticks came out, they flew around. Tears of regret flowed from the corners of the fat chicken's mouth. Its fat body flapped flexibly and soon the ticks were strangled in the cradle. Otherwise, letting these ticks fly out would be a big disaster.

They peck down every insect that flies out. Fat chickens are their natural enemies when it comes to insects.

It lasted for more than thirty seconds before the tick in Jingshu's hand calmed down. Its mouthparts healed completely, and it returned to being an ordinary tick as if nothing had happened.

It's neither oviparous nor viviparous, that's outrageous..

However, this conversion rate is ridiculously high! Just a little bit of it is so amazing. If you soak it in an energy pool, how many ticks will be produced instantly?

Just now, the purple energy could only reproduce dozens of ordinary ticks, but Jingshu exclaimed, "Wow, this tick in my hand can produce hundreds of them!" It's much more than using energy to reproduce! For example, how did the sea of ​​insects that appeared only a few years ago achieve such a large number? It must be...

This particular bug is instantly reproducible.

So what does this mean?

Jingshu looked at the insect in her hand and suddenly felt very close to it. She felt that this ugly insect seemed to have become a little cuter:

"I suddenly remembered that I still need a pet like you. It's decided. From today on, you will be called Chong Chong, an ordinary Chong Chong. Under the cultivation mixed with spiritual springs, I believe that you will be able to replicate more raw materials in the future..."

Chong Chong: Do whatever you want, I’m lying down.

Fat Chicken: I'm going to eat this damn guy.

Jingshu seemed to see countless small coins waving at her.

This saves ten times the energy output compared to the official figure. It’s crazy to think about it.

No matter how much purple energy there is, it will eventually run out and become a non-renewable resource, just like oil. Jingshu was originally worried about what to do if the new energy was used up too quickly after the factory opened.

But now that we have insects, not only can we save resources, but we can also produce more ticks continuously. The tighter the resources are in the future, the higher the value of insects will be.

Therefore, Jingshu plans to give Chongchong the treatment of No. 2 in training. Only the mental control established through the spiritual spring is the most reliable and stable. It can be increased as appropriate depending on the situation in the future. After all, it is now a big consumer of spiritual springs every day. Although the space has been upgraded and the spiritual springs have increased, the spiritual springs for cultivating red nematodes, several numbered pets in the space, and strengthening the physical fitness of family members and oneself are all indispensable.

So after all these years, the spiritual spring water in the space is still the same, with growth and consumption basically equal.

The Red Nematode Factory is currently Jingshu's most stable and largest source of income, followed by the Fur Ball Clothing Factory and the Hulk Bus Factory. The Mutant Tick Factory, on the other hand, could potentially elevate Jingshu's wealth and status to new heights. Numerous interests and relationships are involved, including Xinlan and Chuanshu.

The Tick Factory may bring a brand new sensory experience to the world and may also be a future trend, so Jingshu is very concerned about it. She is also very curious about what else Tick Factory can develop.

Jingshu and her large army camped in the small town of Yizhihua. Hao Yunlai, despite his lazy ways, diligently helped Jingshu tan the excess animal fur. Little Wanzi, sitting by the stove, had already mastered how to sew leather gloves!

As long as I have work to do and food to eat, I feel satisfied!

These tasks were originally done by Grandpa Jing, and Grandma Jing would sew rabbit-skin gloves, cowhide shoes, and sheepskin leggings for her family every year.

But the space produced too much too quickly, and Jingshu would be exposed if she took out too many cattle and sheep compared to their number, so they kept piling up in the space. Now that the space has been upgraded, Jingshu also has to sort out the things in the space.
