Chapter 49 (Part 1)
The third-level resource that Xia Muqing chose was a silkworm snow cocoon.
This snow cocoon was discovered in an alien dimension and is believed to be the remains of an evolved insect-type profound beast. Although the Beastmaster Association does not know the origin of the snow cocoon, they detected a strange wave of profound energy within it, and therefore reserved it as a Level 3 resource.
However, the Beastmaster Association doesn’t know what kind of mysterious beast it is, but Xia Muqing knows.
"See that gold edging on top? It's like a pattern of golden coils."
Xia Muqing pointed at the picture and explained excitedly, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the silkworm slough left behind after a moneyworm evolved into a flourishing butterfly."
"This type of insect-type profound beast is extremely rare. Their evolved cocoons contain the energy they need to transform into butterflies and reshape their spirits. They often consume their own cocoons to enhance their potential."
"I don't know why this cocoon was left behind... Maybe it was disturbed by an adventurer and no one paid attention to it?"
Anyway, this good thing was given to her little caterpillar.
To avoid any complications, Xia Muqing chose to make a reservation on the mobile app. After school that day, she hurried to the Beast Tamer Association to get the items.
Although this time was not as big a bargain as the previous two times, it was still a small profit. The key was that it perfectly met expectations and was very helpful for the recovery of the caterpillar.
The size of the money worm is several times that of the small caterpillar, and the cocoon it leaves behind is like a small bird's nest. After the snow-white silk thread solidifies, it becomes flexible and elastic, allowing the small caterpillar to lie in it comfortably.
With its current strength, it cannot digest the entire cocoon. Xia Muqing decided to use this as a blanket for the little caterpillar and let it live in it and chew it slowly.
After returning home in the evening, Gale Dog added two sets of physical training for himself, while Little Koi was watching videos on his mobile phone. After Xia Muqing finished two sets of boxing, she was bored and simply made a bracket with a paper tube, strung wool on it, and hung the cocoon on it.
In this way, a simple small cradle is made.
The little caterpillar lay in the snow cocoon cradle, rocked back and forth by Xia Muqing's fingertips, humming happily, "Ah, ah!"
Its slender little tentacles waved vigorously, as if calling Xia Muqing to push higher, push higher.
The little koi fish raised its head from behind its phone, glanced at the caterpillar on the swing, and spit out a sour, "Gulp."
Silly Bug is so happy, no need for training, happy and silly every day, and even has a cradle to live in...
Xia Muqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Put your phone down. All you do all day is watch videos. If you don't train hard, Xiao Zi will catch up with you."
The koi fish rolled its eyes: "Gulp."
After all, it is a talented little koi that possesses powerful moves and is equipped with god-level equipment such as Dragon Pills. It has shown its prowess in provincial competitions. How could it be caught up by a stupid insect?
Xia Muqing: "..."
She shook her head and sighed helplessly.
Ever since the provincial competition... no, it should be since obtaining the Dragon Pill, the little koi has become a little inflated.
Especially now that it knows that its ability to make all its skills become very strange is extremely rare and powerful, so it suddenly changes from its previous inferiority and timidity to a stage of self-importance.
It's like jumping from one extreme to another.
"It's Xiaofeng who's showing off his talent. He's even developed the rudiments of a magical skill, but he's still training diligently without getting too arrogant or impatient."
Xia Muqing frowned, bent her fingers, and flicked the little koi's forehead.
"Don't blame me for not warning you. Xiao Zi's true talent is stronger than both of you. If you don't work hard now, when it fully recovers, it will definitely leave you far behind."
"When that happens, don't hug me and cry."
The little koi covered his aching head and shook his tail: "Gurgle gurgle?"
That's impossible. The silly bug in the cradle that laughs foolishly and drools in the wind?
Can it be as strong as me, the King of Koi?
The little koi didn't believe Xia Muqing's words at all. But after being taught a lesson by its own beastmaster, it calmed down a bit, put down its phone, picked up the dragon pill again, and began to comprehend.
Taking this opportunity, Xia Muqing took back her cell phone.
Just then, wx popped up a new message.
Cheng Zizhuo: [Hello, is class over?]
He changed his WeChat profile picture to a new one. It showed a fairy in colorful clouds spreading her wings, ready to fly. She was bathed in rosy light and looked quite divine.
Xia Muqing looked at her phone, stroked the screen a few times, and the corners of her lips gradually rose.
She replied, "Cheng Shen Beast Envoy, you, a busy man, are finally free?"
Cheng Zizhuo has been in the limelight recently - the youngest divine beast master on Blue Star has just emerged, and companies from all over the country are scrambling to report on him. He has been on the headlines of Starblog for several days, with a fiery red "hot" floating behind him.
The accompanying picture shows Cheng Zizhuo leaning on the back of the colorful cloud fairy, his black hair was a little messy due to the wind, a dark blue coat was casually draped over his shoulders, the fluffy hem of the coat was blown by the long wind, he turned his head inadvertently, revealing his handsome features, and his dark pupils were as bright as obsidian.
Below the picture, a group of little fans who are obsessed with looks screamed "Ahhhhhhhhh".
To be honest, after watching it, Xia Muqing also felt that the cameraman was really talented. He perfectly presented Cheng Zizhuo's appearance and his imaginative and adventurous temperament - no one could imagine this guy's silly personality after watching it.
"Where was the photo taken? It's a very handsome one."
After reading her message, Cheng Zizhuo sent her a "silly smile" emoticon.
Cheng Zizhuo: [Don't even mention it. That was all the cameraman's fault. He posed for over ten minutes and my face was almost frozen.]
If my senior sister hadn't given me a death order, saying it was for Yanda University's enrollment, I wouldn't have agreed even if I were beaten to death.
Xia Muqing: “……?”
YNU enrollment?
"Does Yanda still need to worry about recruiting students?"
Cheng Zizhuo: [Spreading hands.jpg]
It was very strange. When the report was on the headlines, Cheng Zizhuo himself didn't feel anything. He just felt annoyed when he received too many private messages. He was too lazy to deal with those endless netizens who were like flies. He didn't take the messages from the little fans below to heart.
But now, when Xia Muqing casually said, "The photo is very handsome," his heart seemed to stop beating for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he could only hear a buzzing sound in his ears.
Cheng Zizhuo's ears felt a little hot, and he pursed his lips a few times, subconsciously changing the subject: "By the way, did the little caterpillar I gave you the other day evolve? Is the Amethyst Butterfly pretty?"
Xia Muqing thought about it, turned on the camera, and took a picture of the cradle and the caterpillar.
Cheng Zizhuo: “???”
"You didn't use the amethyst to evolve it? Did you, you contracted it?"
Xia Muqing replied with a smile: "Yes, the contract is signed. Thank you for giving Xiao Zi to me. It has great talent and I will take good care of it."
Cheng Zizhuo stood under the streetlight, anxiously grasping the back of his hair. "But it's a defective product, cultivated for decorative purposes... It's incredibly talented, is that true?"
Xia Muqing: "Of course it's true. This is the mysterious beast you specially selected for me. Even if you don't believe me, you should trust your own judgment."
Cheng Zizhuo's fingertips felt slightly hot.
He stroked the screen of his mobile phone, his eyebrows slightly curved, the bright light illuminated the smile that could not be hidden at the corners of his lips, his slender fingers flew, and he quickly typed a few lines of words.
Immediately, Cheng Zizhuo opened the address book.
"Hello, Senior Sister?"
"Calling you so late... Haha, sorry, it's urgent. Senior Sister, do you have any research on the innate deficiencies of profound beasts? Is there any way to solve it?"
…
S City.
Xia Muqing looked at the line of small words on the phone screen and couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips.
【I don't trust my own vision, but I trust you. 】
"This guy," Xia Muqing muttered, "only knows how to say nice things."
She put down her phone, and the little caterpillar in the cradle next to her suddenly stretched out its antennae. The long, soft antennae rested on the back of her hand and separated as soon as they touched.
"Eh?"
The little koi fish, which was absorbing the dragon pill's profound energy, caught sight of it out of the corner of its eye and jumped up from the ground in curiosity: "Gurgle gurgle?"
Look, master, the little silly bug's antennae have changed color!
"Um?"
Xia Muqing immediately raised her head and was surprised to find that the little caterpillar's antennae were indeed covered with a light pink layer.
It was a color that seeped out from deep within the skin, carrying with it a wonderful fluctuation of mysterious power, making the little caterpillar seem like it was drunk, swaying and humming in the cradle.
The little koi fish came over and curiously touched the caterpillar's tentacles with its fins. In an instant, the direction of the mysterious energy flow changed, and pink energy rushed towards it, swallowing it up in an instant!
The little koi was startled and subconsciously swung its tail hard, mobilizing all the energy in its body to defend itself.
But it made a full gesture, and the pink airflow passed through the mysterious force barrier completely, like a fragrance blown by the wind, which could not be stopped and could only be intoxicated.
The little koi was intoxicated.
It tilted its head and blew out a beautiful bubble: "Gulp?"
This itchy, happy, sweet feeling——
So strange!
Xia Muqing: “……?”
The wave that was blown out just now was obviously the emotional energy absorbed from her, and the little caterpillar could actually turn this power into an attack and hit the little koi?
This was the first time she had seen such a strange attack method.
No, maybe it wasn't an attack, because the little koi didn't show any signs of being injured and even looked quite happy.
Xia Muqing touched her chin and pondered for a while.
The game only uses brief text descriptions, which is completely different from the real-life situation. In order to collect illustrations, she simply captured many mysterious beasts and put them into the game warehouse without getting to know them in depth. Now is the perfect time to study them in detail.
The little caterpillar's strength was still very weak, and the pink airflow quickly dissipated. It also returned to its original silly look, nestling in the cocoon and happily swinging on the swing.
Xia Muqing called the Gale Dog over.
"Xiaofeng, give me your black silver wind chime first."
