Chapter 21 Repair
Because he had been steadily selling gray worm silk to Tian Tian during this period, Russell placed an order on the "Same Day Delivery" urban express app and sent the colored worm silk to her villa in the Oak Residential Area.
In the afternoon of the same day, Tian Tian received the package and paid a full 50,000 credit points in advance to order all the insect silk recently produced by Yuchongwu.
With this money, many of Russell's previously shelved plans can be put back on the agenda.
After the credit points arrived, the first thing he did was rent an old two-story building behind the Chongwu House.
Russell's purpose of doing this is mainly to meet the practical needs of the business development of the Royal Insect House.
The batch of black-ringed silkworms hatched with Ayou had been feeding for more than half a year. Under the nourishment of the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, they had all grown to the point where they were about to form cocoons and evolve.
Although pet moths will lose their ability to spin silk when they reach maturity, this does not mean that they have lost their commercial value.
After special treatment, the scale powder of many moth pets can be used to make medicines and dyes. If not suppressed, mature insect pets will soon usher in the breeding period and give birth to the next generation of larvae. .
The parents' generation has gone through many times of energy screening and optimization, and the blood of their offspring will naturally be of higher quality than other members of the same race.
Compared with purchasing a new batch of pet beast eggs from the market, directly raising the second generation of insects bred by pet beasts in the store will undoubtedly save a lot of breeding effort.
Therefore, Russell is not planning to sell these carefully bred insect beasts to the outside world for the time being.
However, the main breeding mode of the Royal Insect House is now box breeding, and all the boxes are not eco-boxes equipped with internal circulation systems, but ordinary plastic incubators. Just place two climbing logs and sprinkle a layer of insect sand on them. .
The advantage of this method is that it saves money, but other than that it has almost all disadvantages.
Among them, the most prominent problem is that the space is too small.
An ordinary incubator, not much larger than a bucket, is basically only suitable for feeding silkworm babies that eat and sleep, as well as house pets like the mandible sandworm that hide in the soil for 23 hours a day.
For pet animals that require a lot of activity, especially flying moths, if they are locked in a box all day long without free movement, it will most likely lead to depression, mania, and internal strife and casualties.
The backyard of the Royal Insect House is quite spacious, but if these weak pet beasts that have not signed a contract are kept loose in the yard, it is difficult to avoid the pet beasts escaping, and secondly, they are likely to be attacked by natural enemies.
If you want to continue to raise them well, you must prepare a larger but still relatively closed breeding space.
In order to provide a better quality of life for the insect beasts in the store and allow them to produce higher-quality materials, Russell plans to reopen a special breeding room.
Fortunately, the occupancy rate on Fenglin Road is not high. The two-story building has been vacant for several years. I heard that someone wanted to rent it for a long time, and the owner readily offered a discounted price of 2,000 credit points for a month.
After signing the lease agreement, Russell contacted the moving company, and after two or three days of busy work, he finally moved all the pet animals in the store, as well as things related to breeding and cultivation, to the breeding room.
The cultivation room currently only requires space on the first floor. Lu Yinning moved to the bedroom on the second floor of the cultivation room, while Russell moved back to the small cubicle behind the shop.
In this way, the vacant space in the insect house can be dedicated to placing more shelves.
Although the shelves now only contain half a bundle of colorful worm threads as samples in addition to regular merchandise, Russell believes that one day the place will be filled with all kinds of hot-selling insect-based materials specialized in the Insect House.
At Lu Yinning's suggestion, he gave the colored worm silk a very stylish name, "Rainbow Yarn", and the gray silk was named "Yezai of the Night."
According to Russell's statistics, these large silkworm larvae can spit out a bundle of rainbow yarn every five days on average. As their growth progress increases, their silk production should also increase.
In other words, as long as Rainbow Yarn and Night Yarn are not unsalable, Yu Chongwu can earn a stable income of 40,000 to 50,000 credit points every month just from selling worm silk.
Even if you exclude store rent, miscellaneous fees and labor, you can still earn about 30,000 yuan. Moreover, it can be seen from Tian Tian's love for these two kinds of silk threads that as long as the quality of the silk threads does not decline, there is no such thing as unsaleable silk.
The performing beast masters competing on the beast master stage are all very rich!
Lying on the rocking chair, humming a little tune, thinking about the steady stream of credit points he would receive in the future, Russell was in a good mood, and it seemed that even the white clouds slowly passing by in the sky had become a wonderful scenery.
This is how a time traveler should be treated!
.........
After taking care of the business of the Beast Controlling House, there are only three days left before the start of the ninth group of the rookie group Beast Controlling Competition.
Before stepping onto the court, Russell must first fulfill the promise he made to Daodao Mantis.
Wanting to master the skills within three days, this arrangement was a bit hasty, but Daodao Mantis had trained his claw attack proficiency to 100% in the wild, so it was not like starting from scratch.
The core reason why it cannot understand the alloy claw skill is its lack of proficiency in metal hardening.
From the perspective of orthodox breeding, it is almost impossible for a pure insect-type beast to acquire steel-type abilities by simply swallowing a small amount of ore.
However, the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent focuses on breaking through the shackles of blood and turning the impossible into possible. From the moment he signed the beast control contract with Russell, Daodao Mantis was destined to embark on an extraordinary path.
Thinking without further delay, after moving, Russell quickly ordered two types of cultivation materials with different styles.
Acid-etched grass, which is a poison-type cultivation material, and the mane of the gold-level steel-type pet beast Steelmane.
As a powerful pet beast with pure steel attributes, the steel-maned dolphin's mane is its main means of offense and defense. Each one is as hard as a steel wire and cannot be chewed or swallowed by ordinary creatures.
The characteristic of acid-etched grass is that it can effectively soften metal and mainly change the hardness without severely corroding it.
Mix acid-etched grass juice and steel bristles, and after soaking for several hours, the originally hard steel bristles will turn into soft noodles, which can be eaten by non-steel creatures and absorb the energy contained in them.
But this cultivation method is not without its shortcomings. The juice of acid-etched grass is toxic. If you eat too much, you may be poisoned, or you may learn the skill in the wrong direction, and finally learned a poison skill... Therefore, this formula is
basically The above only supplies some pets with high immunity to toxins, or simply have dual attributes of poison and steel.
"Eat it, you can understand the alloy claws after eating a few more meals."
After mixing a small pot of softened steel bristles, Russell summoned the big sword mantis that was clamoring to learn skills every day.
In the eyes of others, the large steel bristles soaked in dark green juice might be a bit eye-catching, but the mantis, which had even chewed the ore raw, did not hesitate at all and ate up all the cultivation materials on the plate in three strokes. net.
About ten minutes later, as Steel Mane was slowly digested, poisonous energy quickly appeared in its body, and the information "Biological Toxin Proficiency" began to appear in the ability development column.
For ordinary pet beasts with flesh and blood bodies, biological toxins are naturally easier to absorb than steel-type energy. The growth rate of the poison-type ability in the body of the mantis is almost twice that of the steel-type.
If this trend continues, without the intervention of the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, it will most likely realize the Poison Claw skill in the end.
After observing for a while, and confirming that there was nothing wrong except that the poison energy increased too quickly, Russell raised his hand and connected the milky white energy thread to Da Dao Mantis.
