Chapter 18 Snow Silkworm



Although the fat guy didn't understand why his boss was crazy again, he immediately arranged for someone to spread the news.

Walking into a wooden house in the backyard and notifying everyone not to disturb him, Lin Xingchen opened the passage to the Tree of Life in the house.

The purpose of building such a house is to cover up some unnecessary troubles, and the house is located not far from the Tree of Life, which is an excellent place to practice magic.

There were no mulberry leaves to be found in the middle of winter, so Lin Xingchen had to pick a few leaves from the tree of life in the space as food for the silkworms.

Walking all the way to the house under the Tree of Life, which was filled with books and various medicine utensils, Lin Xingchen just realized a major discovery, the moment the box was opened in the living room.

That is, when an ordinary snow silkworm ate the leaves of the tree of life, magic fluctuations appeared in its body. This discovery is incredible. Once these insects have magic power, it will not take long for them to evolve into magical beasts.

The Warcraft on the continent of Plano is actually a kind of magical beast, and the origin of Warcraft can even be traced back to before the birth of the high elves.

Looking at the three snow silkworms on the table, Lin Xingchen took a deep breath and touched one of them with his hand.

In a blink of an eye, Lin Xingchen's sight appeared in the farm space, and the insect was still in his hand.

This is a bug without magic power. The reason why it was brought into the farm is to try whether it can pull living things into the space, and secondly, to do experiments here so that Lin Xingchen has a rough idea.

Coming to the largest tree of life, Lin Xingchen mobilized the magic power of the giant tree and began to try to infuse magic power into the insects.

As Lin Xingchen moved, magic power continued to penetrate into the snow silkworm's body. In less than a breath, the snow silkworm exploded to death in Lin Xingchen's hand, leaving behind a pool of disgusting green liquid.

"It seems that there are still too many, but this amount is really hard to grasp. I need Charles to send me the test sample."

After bringing the other two insects into the farm, Lin Xingchen did not continue the experiment. After all, there were only two left and if one of them exploded, there would be nothing left.

He placed the snow silkworm on the leaves of the Tree of Life and then exited the space.

Lin Xingchen, who had returned to his original form, shook his head helplessly and had to practice to pass the time.

Charles once again received an urging letter from Lin Xingchen. Looking at the price of one silver coin for a snow silkworm written on the letter, Charles was a little surprised. After all, he didn't understand why he would spend such a huge price to buy this kind of insect.

The price of one silver coin for two snow silkworms is not enough for many Maple Leaf Territory residents to go out and enjoy the wind and snow. But when the price is raised to one to one, some bored people suddenly become motivated.

The purchasing power of one Maple Leaf silver coin is quite good, enough for a family of four to have a hearty lunch for two days. The main force of the army looking for insects this time is children.

The children, who were having fun in the snow, became excited when they learned that these insects could be exchanged for money.

According to the news, no matter how big or small, as long as the snow silkworms are alive and unharmed, they will be bought one for one. Such good news spread quickly.

The day before New Year, Charles had to announce the end of such transactions. Looking at those densely packed insects, Charles felt uncomfortable all over.

Charles personally sent these disgusting bugs to the Duke's Castle, and then he stayed there. Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and as the president of the Chamber of Commerce, he is qualified to lead his family to spend the New Year with the Duke in the Duke's Castle.

The materials for his experiment arrived, and Lin Xingchen went straight to the Tree of Life without caring about anything else. At first, he infused them one by one, but the results were always the same.

This result was obviously not what Lin Xingchen wanted, and his subsequent actions seemed somewhat cruel. He mobilized a large amount of magic power to form a tide to wash over the bodies of these snow silkworms over and over again.

Those who can survive the first round will have the chance to enter the second round. Among the entire carriages of snow silkworms, only about twenty or so can survive the first round.

Looking at the dead insects all over the ground, Lin Xingchen still felt a little uncomfortable, but using snow silkworms for experiments was already very merciful in the magic world.

Some truly ruthless magicians often use various large creatures for experiments, and some even directly use humans, beastmen, or other ethnic groups.

Cutting open the belly, removing the heart and lungs were just a piece of cake, and the sight of a floor full of bugs was childish in the eyes of those magicians.

Picking up the snow silkworm that had withstood the first round, Lin Xingchen once again came to the giant tree on the farm.

After searching for a long time, he was shocked when he saw two snow silkworms as thick as fingers. The magic power in the bodies of these two insects was already very strong, and there were even signs of aggregation.

Once a magic core is formed after aggregation, it means that it has become a magical beast that can use magic. After connecting all of this, I finally realized that I had overlooked one thing, that is, although it is the same tree of life, the speed of time flow on the farm is different.

And it was obvious that the tree of life in front of him was not an ordinary tree of life, it was definitely the world tree mentioned by the teacher.

After thinking it all through, Lin Xingchen became motivated again.

The second batch of snow silkworms were all placed on the leaves of the giant tree, and then the authority was mobilized to accelerate the flow of time in a small area.

This time, there was no need to infuse magic power, but to let them absorb it naturally on their own.

By eating the leaves of the World Tree, although the accumulation of magic power is slow, it is a very safe thing. After your patience is worn out, it is natural that you will not get the desired result if you act rudely.

Watching the progress of these snow silkworms is a very boring process. After all, any evolution will take thousands of years or even longer to adapt to the current environment.

After seeing the first twenty or so snow silkworms spinning silk and making cocoons, Lin Xingchen began to get excited, but he calmed down his excitement and watched their evolution attentively.

Lin Xingchen was obviously delighted when he saw the moth crawling out of the cocoon. After the moth crawled out completely, he quickly picked the cocoon off his hand.

The silk spun by these twenty or so snow silkworms is pure white, and the cocoons feel slightly cool in the hands. Perhaps this is because they live in the cold snow!

I gently picked up a silk cocoon and looked at it carefully, and found that it was very similar to the mulberry silk cocoons I raised as a child in another time and space, except that they were very small and the largest was no larger than my thumb. I carefully pulled out a silk thread and compared it with the one in my memory. It seemed to be thinner but more willful.

Although he was a little disappointed, at least his guess was not wrong. Watching these moths mate and lay eggs to complete their mission, Lin Xingchen began the next round of observation.

There was no need to worry about the hatching of the second generation, as there were countless leaves of life for them to gnaw on. Lin Xingchen then set his sights on the two snow silkworms he brought the first time.

Things like fate are difficult to understand. With the same flow of time, other snow silkworms have already completed their life cycles, but these two in front of them seem to have just grown up. Originally, their bodies were only as thick as chopsticks when they were caught, but now they are as thick as a little finger.

According to experience, it is time to spin silk and make cocoons, but these two are still eating non-stop, and the magic power in their bodies is almost reaching the critical point.

Maybe in the next moment he will be reborn and become the first or second magical snow silkworm in history. Lin Xingchen is looking forward to such a result.

In another time and space, scientists manipulated the food ratio to make silkworms spit out colored silk. I have to cultivate them like this to make them spit out some magical silk! The second generation hatched smoothly and has molted three times. Since I already know the shortcut, why should I wait? Once again, the speed of time was increased. Lin Xingchen's sight was like watching a fast-forwarded movie.

There was no change in the growth time of the snow silkworm, but on the other side where Lin Xingchen was observing, the growth speed of the snow silkworm was constantly visible to the naked eye.

Soon it was time for the second generation to hatch cocoons, so the flow rate was stopped. The first generation of more than 20 silkworms laid about a thousand eggs, which also proved that the number of snow silkworms was a problem.

After recording some necessary things, Lin Xingchen began to pick and distinguish some silk cocoons. The large ones were put aside, while the normal ones continued to hatch.

The snow silkworms were divided into areas, the two big ones were designated as number zero, the best ones of the third generation were designated as number one, and the ordinary ones had no number.

The probability of combining excellent things with excellent things to produce even better results is still very high. As for those ordinary ones, they will be Lin Xingchen's next experimental subjects.

First, the magic tide screened out all the unsuitable ones. This time, it did not put them directly on the leaves, but took out a bottle of prepared magic potion. The magic potion is the simplest potion among the pharmacists, which is made of magic flowers and colorful juice.

After drinking it, the magician will enter a state of magic affinity, which can speed up his absorption of external magic. The most common bottle of magic potion costs one silver coin, and the effect is only half an hour and can provide about 20% magic affinity.

The more advanced pharmacists have better control over potions and can prepare magic potions with longer duration and higher power.

Lin Xingchen is very experienced in both the quality of herbs and his techniques. The magic potion he carefully mixes can last for three hours and has an affinity of 75%.

After these snow silkworms are transferred to a special wooden tray, magic potion is sprinkled on each leaf for the snow silkworms to try.

Unfortunately, large numbers of snow silkworms continued to die, but Lin Xingchen didn't take it to heart since it was just an experiment after all.
