Beast Control: Starting from raising silkworms and becoming the King of Insects

At twelve o'clock in the evening after Tian Xiuqi left, Russell received the advance payment from him on time.

With a full 50 million credit points, according to the house price on Fenglin Road, you can buy a contiguous old house and land.

With the money-making ability that comes with the "Cocoon of Evolution" talent, Russell didn't worry too much and directly bought the Insect House, Dr. Olan's clinic next door, the currently rented factory and a two-story building at a price slightly higher than the market price. , and several vacant lots and old houses around it were bought.

"It feels so good to spend money..."

A few days later, lying on a rocking chair and stroking a thick stack of property rights certificates, Russell smiled like a money-lover.

It's good to be a loser. In my previous life, I was still working every day while I was studying for a Ph.D., and after working hard for several years, I could only buy a small apartment in a university town. I've only traveled through time for a few months, and I'm almost becoming a renter. If you want to say I'm unhappy, that's it. Fake.

He was grinning from ear to ear as he imagined himself hanging out with a bunch of keys on his waist and wandering around various stores and breeding farms in slippers.

"Boss...Boss!"

Liang Kun shouted twice, and Russell came back to his senses while being silly.

"Boss, we have one last stop left. Shall we go and secure the land in the suburbs today?"

Seeing Russell giving him a doubtful look, Liang Kun waved a map of the suburbs in his hand.

"Didn't the weather forecast say there will be light rain today... Let's go another day."

Regarding the fact that his employees were more involved than him, Russell felt happy and helpless.

After spinning around for almost half a month, he really needed a few days of rest, watching dramas, sleeping in, and taking Ayou and Dao Mantis for a walk...

"It's light rain today, but it will be moderate to heavy rain in the next few days. If we go late, the land will be sold by then!"

But Liang Kun was very persistent, fearing that Yu Chongwu would suffer some losses.

"……Fine."

Faced with King Juan's urging, Russell could only slowly get up from the rocking chair.

There is still a little bit of the acquisition plan that has not been completed, and he is always thinking about it in his heart. He can't even play with it, so he just finished it today!

…………

More than half an hour later, Russell and Liang Kun arrived at an area intertwined with sparse woods and grassland, riding on the silver-level third-level mechanical beast "Levitating Magnet" they rented from the Internet.

Senluo City is not surrounded by the Black Dew Forest, so high walls will only be built in places bordering the forest. In semi-developed areas like this, where suburbs slowly transition to village farmland, only sentry towers and small garrison camp.

However, the terrain here is flat, more than ten kilometers away from the forest, the vegetation is relatively sparse, and it does not have the conditions to support mid-to-high-level wild beasts. For a moderately capable beast master, it can basically be regarded as a safe area. .

"Is this where it is?"

After advancing for a while, he saw a dilapidated sign posted on the side of the road with the words "White Creek Orchard" written on it. After comparing it with the map in his hand, Russell signaled the levitating magnet monster to stop.

He heard about this semi-abandoned orchard from a casual chat with the seller when he was acquiring other properties.

Russell originally didn't consider this place which was some distance away from Fenglin Road.

But the price of Baixi Orchard is too cheap...

If calculated based on the average price per area, the price here is less than one-tenth of that on Fenglin Road.

Such an orchard with a stream passing through it and good soil quality is sold for such a cabbage price. Even though one knows that there must be some flaws behind it, people can't help but want to know more about it.

Fortunately, the owner of Baixi Orchard, or the last unlucky successor, was very honest and spoke out about the problem directly.

It turns out that flies suddenly began to overrun here a few years ago, which led to the current desolate situation.

From a modern perspective, it would be a bit hypocritical to abandon an orchard with a good foundation because of a few flies, but in the world of beast control, this is actually a very serious disadvantage.

The fly that the current boss of the orchard is referring to is a black iron-level pet beast with dual attributes of insect and poison types, called Black Cloud Fly.

The name does not mean that they can summon black clouds to attack the enemy, but that when thousands of black cloud flies fly together, even the sky will be obscured, as if black clouds are overwhelming.

In fact, black cloud flies don't have a strong sense of attack, and they can only spit acid. There are very few cases of them attacking humans and other pets. This orchard was forced to close down and sell at a low price simply because black cloud flies were too powerful. It stinks.

As scavengers, when there is not enough rotten food to eat, the black cloud fly will first inject digestive juice into the fresh food to accelerate the rottenness and smell of the food for itself to suck.

Food that has undergone accelerated decay will have a stronger and more lasting flavor than ordinary rotten food...

Wherever black cloud flies live in swarms, ordinary humans simply cannot stay.

It’s not like the previous bosses didn’t try to clean up the black cloud flies that were entrenched here. However, mosquitoes and flies are famous for their ability to reproduce. Each costly pest extermination and culling can only maintain peace for a few days. , swarms of black cloud flies will come back again.

After so many twists and turns, the cost of cleaning up the black cloud fly has long exceeded the income from planting fruit trees, so the current orchard owner just wants to recover a little cost and get rid of this mess as soon as possible.

At that time, there were several Maple Road residents and real estate dealers who gathered to talk about Baixi Orchard. At first, everyone was very interested, but after hearing about the black cloud fly, Russell was the only one who still had the intention to buy. .

The reason is very simple...he has the right expertise to solve this kind of problem!

To deal with insect-type pets, he can directly persuade them when entering, and when retreating, he can inquire about their weaknesses. With a little more effort, he can always find a solution to the fly infestation.

"Is the black cloud fly really that smelly...?"

With a trace of disbelief in evil thoughts, Russell walked into this orchard that frightened many real estate developers.

But within a few minutes, he felt deeply regretful for his naivety.

When the sour smell, which seemed to have been fermenting for several years, was not strong at first, but slowly developed after smelling it, it rushed to his head, and Russell almost vomited it out.

"Ugh... Take out the gas mask quickly... Ugh!"

Putting on the gas mask he had prepared in advance, Russell waited for a while before he could barely stop vomiting.

During this period of time, many black cloud flies had gathered, buzzing and circling above his and Liang Kun's heads. The formation was just like what the encyclopedia said, like a dark cloud covering the top.

No wonder the owner of the orchard didn't even want to accompany his clients to see the land. He only said that Russell liked the price and it was easy to negotiate. He was probably afraid of being smoked...

"Boss, hurry up and use your Insect Whisperer talent to find out the news. This gas mask can only be used for a few hours..."

Even though he was mentally prepared before coming, Liang Kun couldn't help but feel numb and just wanted to finish his work and leave quickly.

"...Can this thing really communicate? It won't cause mental pollution..."

Looking at the huge flies flying in the sky, Russell had deep hesitation about communicating with insect-type pets for the first time.

Even if you are a fan of insects, it would be a lie to say that you don't feel uncomfortable when you see tens of thousands of flies circling around you.

Recalling the particularly sour smell just now, Russell always felt that the experience of telepathic communication with the black cloud fly would definitely not be very pleasant...

But as the old saying goes, "everything comes, comes." Thinking of the extremely cheap land price, he still stretched out his hand tremblingly and used the energy thread to catch the nearest black cloud fly.
