Chapter 88: Colorful Spider Breeding
Holding the reward, Lu Jiu returned to his teammates and asked, "Did you harvest any colorful spider eggs? I have a hint that there are dozens."
As she spoke, she took out the reward, which consisted of dozens of colorful spider eggs on a piece of paper.
Zhuang Yun also had one, and Shen Jufeng had three. Lu Jiu couldn't help but sigh, could this be the European Emperor?
"Anyway, they are said to be colorful spider eggs. I hope they can hatch." Zhuang Yun looked at the dozens of tiny eggs scattered on the paper with some disgust.
Shen Jufeng held the paper and looked at it. "Maybe we can breed it, but I don't know if it will attack people if we raise it."
This is the most reasonable explanation. These eggs are not even as big as rice grains and are all on paper. They definitely cannot be eaten. No matter how you think about it, it seems like they are being incubated and cultivated for humans.
Just like the silkworms before.
Thinking of this, Lu Jiu couldn't help but complain, "When it comes to silk thread, shouldn't silkworms be more suitable? Why give it to colorful spiders?"
Shen Jufeng: "You want to fight with a giant silkworm?"
The game will not give you resources for no reason. Now, except for the food grown in the fields, the rest of the resources are obtained by killing wild monsters.
It’s impossible for a player to pick up an egg made of a piece of paper in the wild.
Lu Jiu imagined a soft, magnified silkworm. Who knows if it would be scarier than a colorful spider after seeing its full appearance? She shuddered and shook her head, "Forget it, a colorful spider is also good. It looks round and cute."
The harvest from the colorful spider is small, only silk threads and eggs, but at least it is a wild monster at the brown iron mutation level, and the other rewards are quite generous.
Zhuang Yun carefully examined the newly deposited city-state resources, then looked at the total. "My city-state resources have exceeded 5,000! Once I return and hand in the resources, I'll become a permanent resident."
Seeing that the other party was so happy, the other two looked at each other, and their eyes showed that they understood each other.
"I have just enough money, 5,000, so I can move into a residential area. I heard the greenery there is very beautiful." Lu Jiu looked very excited.
Zhuang Yun looked at Shen Jufeng expectantly, and the other party nodded silently, indicating that five thousand was enough.
"That's perfect. We can move together and help each other."
Lu Jiu: "Let's just be neighbors this time when we move. We're teammates after all, so it's convenient to call each other when we go out together."
Shen Jufeng: “Okay.”
After that, the three of them encountered several waves of colorful spiders and returned to the city on time in the evening with a full harvest.
*
Professional players who have been out recently have noticed that there are too many colorful spiders, and almost half of the wild monsters killed in a day are them.
In addition to the special nature of the silk thread, colorful spider eggs were also harvested, and it is suspected that they are wild monsters that can be bred in the game.
Many people got several colorful spider eggs, which they took home to study carefully.
Lu Jiu also took the colorful spider eggs she had just obtained to find a few NPCs. Today she was going to shamelessly ask for some information.
The first stop was the tailor shop. The silk threads that could not be harvested were given here. The shop manager saw the bundles of silk threads and accepted them with a smile, saying as he accepted them, "This is good stuff."
Lu Jiu thought to himself, of course I know it’s a good thing.
"Manager, in addition to these silk threads, I also got several colorful spider eggs. Can these be hatched?" This question was so obvious.
The store manager simply glanced at her, pondering for a moment before replying, "Yes, it can be hatched, but it requires specialized hatching tools. The city lord gave me such fine silk thread, I have to go make new products."
This clearly gave a hint that he was going to run away, but Lu Jiu didn't stop him. After all, he had said that incubation tools were needed, so the investigation had a direction, didn't it?
Speaking of tools, Lu Jiu stood up, patted his butt and went to the forge shop. When he came, he heard the sound of clanging in the forge. After a while, the manager lifted the curtain and came out.
"What materials did the city lord bring?"
Lu Jiu took out today's harvest, including the piece of paper with the spider eggs attached. "And this. I didn't know what it was used for, but the tailor said it can be used to hatch eggs, but it requires a special tool. Manager, can you make such a tool?"
Store Manager: Can I say no?
The store manager held out his hand, and Lu Jiu handed the paper over. He examined it carefully before saying, "These are colorful spider eggs. They can hatch, and they're easy to breed. The restaurant owner knows better how to breed them."
Well, this is not the end.
"It's good that they can hatch. The silk thread of the colorful spider is very good. I thought that breeding it would also be a source of income."
The store manager didn't comment, returned the paper to Lu Jiu, and then told the apprentice to take the materials on the table away. "The hatching props are not difficult, just a warm nest. If you need it, I can make a large batch."
Lu Jiu nodded, "Yes, yes, I think a lot of people have gotten this. There are a lot of colorful spiders in the wild, so there must be a lot of people who want to hatch them."
"Then I understand. This prop is easy to make. We'll probably have about twenty of them on the shelves tomorrow."
The store manager knew the capacity of the hatching props. Twenty were enough for the residents of the city. Moreover, this prop was not for single-person use, but suitable for multiple people to use.
In this way, Lu Jiuyou wandered to the restaurant. She specially chose to go there after dinner time. At this time, the restaurant manager was no longer in the front hall. Lu Jiu used the city lord's authority to enter the backyard.
The restaurant has been upgraded. In addition to the several dining areas where guests eat in the front hall and the kitchen, there is also a backyard. This is the private area for NPCs and no outsiders are allowed to enter.
As soon as Lu Jiu came in, he saw the restaurant manager lying on the old chair. There was a teapot on the coffee table next to him, and the cups were full of tea.
“The store manager is quite good at enjoying himself.”
The store manager knew the city lord was coming early in the morning, and he didn't even open his squinting eyes. "I'm an old man, why would I come to have a cup of tea after I'm done with my work?"
Lu Jiu didn't hesitate and sat down on the chair on the other side of the coffee table. It felt really good to lie down on it. She adjusted her posture, picked up the teapot and filled her own cup.
"What's the matter with you, Lord Mayor?" The store manager asked this question in a very accommodating way.
Lu Jiu smiled sheepishly. "I got a new reward. I asked the tailor and the blacksmith, and they said you knew how to breed colorful spiders, so I came here to learn from you."
The store manager finally opened his eyes, but only stood up slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Colored spiders are easy to raise. After they hatch, place them in a basket and feed them a little food every day. They don't eat much, and they'll grow up in a week. They'll leave their own silk threads. But if you want more eggs, you'll have to keep looking for wild colored spiders."
In other words, the farmed colorful spiders cannot continue to refresh or reproduce. They are all bred once, and when they are finished, they don't need to do anything and will disappear on their own, leaving behind silk threads.
Lu Jiu then asked, "Will they attack us?"
The store manager laughed, "You are their parents who provide them with food and clothing, why would they attack you? But you can't hit them when you are raising them, otherwise they will fight back."
After hearing this, Lu Jiu felt relieved. Breeding is so worry-free. Just give it a place and some food, and it will be a mobile material warehouse.
"But colorful spiders are quite large, and with so many people living in the hostel, there might not be much space left for them." After all, colorful spiders are as tall as they are when standing.
