24-year-old Yu Zhu is a security guard. Her daily routine involves sitting around reading newspapers, effectively skipping 40 years of hard work compared to others. Perhaps the heavens couldn't...
Chapter 50 Updated on October 13th
Holding a torch in one hand and catching bees in the other.
Torches are used to adjust distance and avoid being overturned by group attacks.
Yu Zhu used only one hand and spent 10 minutes to catch hundreds of bees.
They seemed to be quite cooperative. Once the torch was held far away, the bees would raise their stingers and attack Yu Zhu, and then they fell into her hands, just like the Calabash Brothers saving their grandfather and delivering batch after batch.
Gradually, the queen bee also realized that something was wrong. Her subordinates never came back, which made her highly alert. She became curious and secretly flew out of the hive to investigate the situation.
Queen Bee: Let me see what's going on?
No matter how well it was hidden, Yu Zhu could still see it at a glance.
The queen bee is a size larger than other bees, so no matter how many bees there are, they cannot escape Yu Zhu's eyes.
As the saying goes, capture the leader first.
It must be so tiring to catch them one by one. Yu Zhu was just thinking of a new way when he saw this queen bee. It really was a piece of cake to catch it.
Seeing that the queen bee had come out, Yu Zhu didn't bother to be polite with it and invited it to visit his new home.
She kept catching worker bees and moving closer to the queen bee.
The queen bee was a recluse in her hive, so how could she have ever seen such a scene? The entire beehive was filled with disbelief. How could someone actually catch a bee with their bare hands?
No one knew the power of these bees better than it. They were all evolved Italian bees, and even their natural enemies, the wasps, had to flee in panic! Aside from the greedy black bear, this half of the forest was already unbeatable.
But the person in front of her didn't use any weapons, only wore a pair of thin gloves, and captured her people one by one, which made the queen bee very puzzled.
Yu Zhu had no idea what the queen bee was thinking. Seeing that the distance was enough, she stepped forward and captured the queen bee in her hands.
The scene was so exaggerated that the queen bee was caught alive among thousands of bees.
Queen Bee: ???
The previous second, the queen bee was still confused about the way forward.
The next second, it was stuffed into Yu Zhu's beehive.
After this, my thoughts became clearer than ever before.
There is a circular exit with a diameter of 15 cm in the middle of the hive. The queen bee forcefully pushed aside the bees lying at the entrance, stretched her claws up, and looked at Yu Zhu with eyes full of admiration.
Queen Bee: From today on, it is her bee (proud)
What's there to be confused about? He's so powerful, so many times stronger than that stupid black bear!
The bees that lost their queen no longer attacked rashly. It was as if their connection with the queen had been forcibly cut off. They were completely unaware of the situation and were still in a daze. They were in chaos and had no intention of attacking Yu Zhu.
There is only one queen bee in each beehive, which shows the importance of the queen bee in the entire bee colony.
Perhaps it was because the queen bee's eyes were too warm, so it looked at her expectantly, but without Yu Zhu's order, it could only wait obediently in the hive.
Yu Zhu was touched by its cuteness and couldn't help but reach out to it.
The fingers under the black gloves were slender and long, and glowed with a faint mysterious purple light, which was exactly what the queen bee liked. It flew to her fingertips rather shyly.
Originally, Yu Zhu was still worried that without the queen bee, there would be no offspring and her bees would not live long, but now that the queen bee has defected, she no longer has any worries.
Yu Zhu: "Control them."
The appearance of the queen bee calmed the panicked bee colony down.
Following Yu Zhu's command, the queen bee summoned the bees, lined them up, and flew into the new hive.
This scene stunned Xinni, as if Yu Zhu had some kind of magical power. It really broadened Leopard's horizons.
After being busy for a while, Yu Zhu finally had some free time. She happily showed off a few strawberries.
But he soon faced a new problem. After the hive accommodated 20,000 bees, Yu Zhu received a limit prompt [The hive has captured enough bees].
Generally, the number of bee colonies in a large hive is about 80,000, but Yu Zhu's bees are relatively large, and its 20,000 bees can replace 50,000 ordinary bees. It is normal that this new hive cannot accommodate them.
Although there is still half of the space left in the beehive, it is reserved for making honey and hatching, so we have to leave some room for them to move freely.
There were many bees in the huge beehive on the tree. Yu Zhu had the idea of taking the beehive for himself. After all, the queen bee was a family member, so the beehive should also be considered his. The only thing left was to buy a new beehive.
But after thinking about it carefully, Yu Zhu gave up the idea. The game clearly indicated that only the bees captured in his own hive were absolutely safe.
Since she was going to bring it back to the raft, Yu Zhu had to ensure its safety. She was responsible for the other creatures on the raft, so she had to use her own beehive.
Beekeeping is not an easy job. The raft drifts on the sea for a long time, and it needs a lot of flowers. Logically, Yu Zhu has captured so many bees, and it is about time for her to stop.
But she had already caught them, and one should see things through to the end. She couldn't just abandon the remaining bees, could she?
A bee colony without a queen will not last long and the entire colony will die.
Especially seeing how well the queen bee educated her subjects, Yu Zhu had to be responsible for her. At least she had followed him, and he couldn't let her lose her rights and subjects in vain.
Yu Zhu opened the trading area again. She searched the hive again this time, but found nothing. Lian Bo had not put up any new items.
She was puzzled for a second, then she figured out the reason. Yu Zhu was short of materials, and for convenience, she paid with food, which resulted in Lian Bo having no materials to make a new beehive, unless he went to dig out the honeycomb again.
Yu Zhu was thinking about this when he received a private message from Lian Bo.
Lian Bo: Boss Yu, did you buy my honeycomb?
Yu Zhu: Yes
Lian Bo: I knew it! I can't think of anyone else in this server who can easily produce 2000g of fish meat except you. Orz]
Although the trading area hid the buyer's information in order to protect the buyer's identity, Lian Bo still guessed the materials paid for the purchase.
Yu Zhu is really easy to guess. She is the recognized fishing master in this server.
If Lian Bo had these 2000g of fish meat normally, he would be overjoyed, but for this beehive, his head was swollen like a pig, and he didn't even get to eat the honey. He was really crying.
This person came to her door, and Yu Zhu knew the reason, so she didn't have to go looking for him.
[Yu Zhu: Are you missing honeycomb fragments?]
【Lian Bo: Yes...】
Yu Zhu: Wait, I'll get it for you, and then you can make me a few honeycombs.
【Lian Bo: !!!】
If his eyes hadn't been swollen to the point of slits, Lian Bo would have cried. This was too touching! Anyway, he didn't want to stir up trouble again.
It was not until he saw the words “make a few more beehives” at the end that he began to think about it and felt terrified. How many bees would he have to catch?
In order not to hold Yu Zhu back, Lian Bo quickly went to find Mei Bei, Fu Wanwan and others to exchange materials, as he only had a few hinges left.
After Yu Zhu finished talking to Lian Bo, he looked at the queen bee.
After all, her old house was going to be demolished, so she had to say hello, and she was concise and to the point.
Yu Zhu: "I want honeycomb fragments."
Hearing this, the queen bee tilted her head and rubbed her hands.
Before Yu Zhu could figure it out, it was time to decide whether he understood or not, and whether he agreed or not.
She heard a buzzing sound getting closer and closer, and when she turned around, she saw swarms of bees flying towards her, dragging pieces of things. In a way that Yu Zhu had never expected, she easily got the fragments.
Private message interface, only one minute has passed since the last message.
[Yu Zhu: Gift of 50 honeycomb fragments]
Lian Bo: ???
[Lian Bo: Boss Yu, I'm not dreaming!]
Yu Zhu: Are you sleepy?
[Lian Bo: No, no, no, I'm shocked by your speed. It's too fast!]
[Lian Bo: It took me two days to collect 5 fragments, and you got 50 fragments in just one minute.]
[Lian Bo: Woohoo, you're making me look useless QAQ]
Yu Zhu: How can you be useless? At least you can still build beehives. I need five more.
[Lian Bo: No problem, I'll take care of it!]
Five minutes later.
[Lian Bo: I'm giving away 5 honeycombs. Boss Yu, take a look and see if you're satisfied!]
[Yu Zhu: 5000g of fish meat as a gift, cost.]
5 beehives are sold for 10,000g of water in the trading area, and 50 honeycomb fragments are equivalent to 5,000g of water, which means you need to pay an additional 5,000g.
This frightened Lian Bo. While marveling at Yu Zhu's fish reserves, he quickly returned the fish to her.
[Lian Bo: I'll give you 5000g of fish meat as a gift. Please don't scare me!]
Lian Bo: If it weren't for the honeycomb fragments you gave me, I wouldn't be able to build a single hive. Besides, the cost of building five hives is more than enough with these 50 fragments. How dare I use the market price to make money from you? If Mei Bei knew about this, she would definitely scold me half to death.
Although honeycomb fragments and intermediate accessories were sold at the same price in the trading zone, both worth 100g of drinking water, their value was far more than that. In Lian Bo's opinion, honeycomb fragments were even harder to obtain than intermediate accessories. Even with nine lives, he might not be able to get these 50 fragments. If he threw in the one he made for Yu Zhu and made another one himself, he would still have 20 fragments left, which was a huge profit.
As expected, it is nice to sit under a big tree and enjoy the shade. Yu Zhu often gave them fruits to eat, but one should not be too greedy. One should still have self-knowledge and remember not to be too arrogant. One should see the situation clearly. Lian Bo is not a short-sighted person who cannot see clearly.
If he really accepted it, how would he feel?
Lian Bo: Boss Yu, please stop being so formal with me.
Seeing that he was using emojis to act cute, what else could Yu Zhu say? She replied with an "ok" and couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Everyone in her camp was so smart.
Yu Zhu didn't think too much when she gave her the fish. She really didn't need the fish, but Lian Bo's approach was undoubtedly very comfortable. He seemed like a good businessman.
After solving the problem of the beehive, the remaining bees obeyed the queen bee's orders and flew into the new beehive. The huge beehive on the tree disappeared completely.
This time the island protection law was not triggered. After all, she had taken away the entire resource point, so it no longer belonged to the island resources.
Total harvest: 105,000+ bees, 15,000g honey
