Chapter 89 Best for Ordinary Residents
The store manager looked at Lu Jiu with a hint of disappointment. "Farming, farming, how can you compare to wild ones? Their heads will shrink, and they'll be about the size of a bowl."
Lu Jiu also came forward and poured a cup of tea for the store manager. "Manager, you are like an encyclopedia. I still have a lot to learn from you. Come, have some tea."
The store manager took the tea and drank it. "You've asked everything you need to know. Please give us some private time to rest."
"Okay, you take a rest, I won't disturb you." Lu Jiu stood up quickly and drank the tea that he had just poured for himself.
After knowing these circumstances, Lu went back and excitedly told Shen Jufeng about it.
"Now we know, but what about others?" After all, she is the city lord and she has to consider the residents in the city.
"Send an email in your city lord's name. However, as you said, those spiders are the size of bowls, and the yield may not be as high as those killed in the wild. Plus, some people get physically sick just by looking at spiders. Consider encouraging professional residents to sell some spider eggs to ordinary residents."
Lu Jiu thought about it and felt that what Shen Jufeng said made sense. For example, compared to breeding, she would rather go out and kill colorful spiders in the wild.
The thought of having a group of colorful spiders as big as bowls in her home gave her goosebumps.
"I'm planning to sell my colorful spider eggs to Old Man Zeng and the others at a low price. This way, even if I don't go out to kill wild monsters, breeding them will still provide me with some income."
Besides, she had added colorful spider silk threads to her exclusive purchase page in the mission hall today. A thick bundle of silk threads was purchased for 2 silver coins, which was considered a high price.
According to the price given by the tailor shop manager, one silver coin is enough for a bundle. These are items that will be used frequently in the future. Moreover, autumn is the season when colorful spiders are rampant, so the harvest will be more.
But Lu Jiu still gave a price of 2 silver coins. Of course, some residents did not believe it and went directly to the tailor shop to ask the purchase price. When they heard that it was 1 silver coin, they came back obediently to trade with the city lord.
Not everyone will sell everything, some will keep some for themselves, maybe they can use it in the future.
When he heard that Lu Jiu was going to sell the colorful spider eggs, he actually didn't want to raise them because it was time-consuming and the colorful spiders looked really scary.
"Then you can also buy the colorful spider eggs after sending the email, and then set up a bulk sales window." He also knew that Lu Jiu would not make a profit from the price difference, but not every ordinary resident would believe that raising wild monsters would not attack people.
What's more, it was hatched from the egg of a brown iron mutant-level wild monster.
He continued, "I'll keep these purchased spider eggs with you for now. Once they hatch and you're sure they're safe, someone will naturally want to buy them."
When Lu Jiu heard this, he realized that many ordinary residents had low attack capabilities and prioritized safety.
Besides, they have been killing wild monsters since the world changed, and now they suddenly have to raise them, so everyone naturally needs to wait and see.
"Then I'll try raising a few myself. I'll get results in a week anyway."
Shen Jufeng nodded and took out the colorful spider eggs he had harvested and gave them to her. "These are all for you. Compared to breeding them, I would rather kill colorful spiders in the wild."
After all, the rewards for killing authentic wild monsters are richer, and you don’t have to keep them around.

Dear Residents:
I believe many people have already obtained colorful spider eggs. Here I have learned the specific breeding methods. First of all, colorful spider eggs need professional props to hatch. The hatched colorful spiders are only the size of a bowl and will not actively attack people. However, residents should not attack first, otherwise the colorful spiders will fight back.
Secondly, to raise colorful spiders, you only need to feed them some food. They don't eat much and will grow up in a week. They will automatically leave behind silk threads and disappear. Considering that the size of colorful spiders has shrunk, the amount of silk threads they produce may also be low. I have opened the purchase option. Those who don't want to raise them can choose to trade and sell the colorful spider eggs.
Finally, I wish you all to become permanent residents of Xuantian City as soon as possible. 】
All the residents in the city received an email from the city lord. When the professional residents were still worrying about what to do with the colorful spider eggs, the city lord kindly gave them the breeding method.
Lin Zuo held a piece of paper between his thumb and index finger, which was covered with colorful spider eggs. To be honest, people don't like things that are densely packed with things other than money.
He showed a look of disgust, "I don't keep this thing. I'd rather kill a colorful spider than keep this. If any of you want it, I'll sell it cheap."
He looked around at his teammates, but everyone's expressions were as disgusted as his.
Not to mention raising wild monsters, even the colorful spiders that were originally as tall as them have shrunk to that size. Who knows how much silk thread they can produce if they are raised? Moreover, these spiders also eat food, and they have to save the food for the winter.
"Captain, we don't want to raise them either. Who knows how much silk thread we can get after wasting food?"
The other teammates also agreed, it would be better to take it to the task hall to trade, at least you can get money.
Lin Zuo also felt that before the colorful spiders were covered with silk, there were still a lot of them. Today they went out to kill a group of colorful spiders, and they got a lot of silver coins from trading. It would not be a problem to save enough to buy a house.
Lin Zuo had no choice but to throw the colorful spider eggs aside and said, "Then sell them. They are really useless. They are suitable for ordinary residents to raise."
Ordinary residents, especially the middle-aged and elderly, basically do not go out to kill wild monsters. However, they have the most food, so it is okay to raise them and harvest silk thread for trading.
All the colorful spider eggs of Lin Zuo's team members were handed over to one of the team members, who then went to the mission hall to sell them.
On the city lord's trading page, the uniform purchase price for a piece of colorful spider eggs is 125 copper coins, regardless of how many colorful spider eggs there are on it. In fact, the number of colorful spider eggs on each piece of paper is about the same, so people don't care about it.
Killing one colorful spider egg will give you a high probability of getting 1-3 colorful spider eggs. A person can harvest dozens of them in a day, so several thousand copper coins a day is really not a low amount.
Lu Jiu quickly received hundreds of colorful spider eggs in the background. She kept them all and could sell them later. Although she did not make a profit from the difference, she still sold them at 125 copper coins each.

The next day, new hatching items were added to the forge, allowing all species to be hatched uniformly.
Lu Jiu looked at the incubation props. It had a structure like a steamer. It was made of metal, with one layer covering another. There was a temperature gate at the bottom. Firewood could be put in to burn, and the incubation props would intelligently control the temperature.
Such an incubation tool costs 1 silver coin, but it has a large capacity and a service life of 100 years. Ordinary residents can pool their money to buy one and then incubate it together.
But considering that the capacity was so large, each layer could hold at least a dozen colorful spider eggs, and there were ten layers in total, Lu Jiu waved his hand to prevent the residents from wasting the money, and bought all the hatching props himself.
Afterwards, she asked the patrolling NPCs to place the hatching props in vacant locations in the boarding house and residential area, and even beautified the props' exteriors so as not to affect the cityscape.
After doing all this, she pretended to be a professional resident and placed a smaller number of colorful spider eggs in the hatching props, which took 18 hours to hatch.
The hatching is also interesting. The colorful spider will not be born directly in the hatching prop, but will be born after being taken home and left for two hours.
