Chapter 115: Chapter 31: Return to Hua Country (Second Update)
Half a month later!
Insect Valley, Su Jie, clutching a Nine-tailed Ghost Scorpion, ignored its struggles and stuffed it into an Insect Control Bag.
During half a month, aside from his cultivation practice,
he would also come to Insect Valley in his spare time to collect various Poison Insects.
Whoosh whoosh!
The sky reverberated with howling as a massive thousand-hand centipede hurriedly flew by, followed by a sky-darkening swarm of human-faced moths, their numbers either in the millions or tens of millions.
Nobody knew how the thousand-hand centipede had provoked them, but the human-faced moths were furious, seemingly determined to engulf the centipede.
The thousand-hand centipede flew erratically until, after more than ten minutes, it finally managed to shake off these swarming creatures.
Boom! The thousand-hand centipede landed, its body still draped with dense clusters of human-faced moths.
These little things kept biting the centipede and wouldn't let go.
Beneath the belly of the thousand-hand centipede, numerous pale corpse hands clutched oversized nets.
Inside were vast amounts of human-faced moths – the reason why the human-faced moth swarm chased the thousand-hand centipede.
Setting the net in front of Su Jie, the thousand-hand centipede shook its body similar to a dog shaking off water after a bath, flinging all the human-faced moths off its back.
At this moment, the originally dark and glossy insect shell of the thousand-hand centipede was pitted and uneven, with many parts exposed to flesh, sizzling and smoking from the corrosion of acid.
Thankfully, the thousand-hand centipede had a strong self-healing power; other people's poisonous insects would hardly endure such injuries.
“Sizzle sizzle!”
The thousand-hand centipede let out a pitiful noise, seemingly lodging a complaint to Su Jie about the malicious deeds of the human-faced moths.
“How did you come to make such a spectacle? Don't be like a bandit, charging into someone else's territory and causing chaos!”
Su Jie was both amused and annoyed as he patted its big head.
Whereas others subtly snuck into villages to catch human-faced moths, the thousand-hand centipede would barrel straight in and forcefully plunder, which naturally enraged the human-faced moth swarm.
The thousand-hand centipede crawled and called out chaotically as if to say that if it weren't for Su Jie's orders, it wouldn't have bothered to provoke those dim-witted human-faced moths.
Su Jie ignored the thousand-hand centipede's grievances and began collecting the human-faced moths on the ground.
After advancing to the Sixth Level of Yunling Realm, Su Jie, practicing the Body Worm Focusing Method, could control a significantly increased number of human-faced moths.
With this new batch, Su Jie now had control over seventy to eighty thousand human-faced moths, and the power of the resulting Insect Cloud had drastically increased.
He then put the thousand-hand centipede into his sleeve and looked at his now brimming Beast Control Bag.
Inside, various poisonous insects lay dormant, nearly bursting the seams of the bag.
“About enough, this batch of Poison Insects will suffice for Fumen Breeding Farm's use for some time; it's time to head back.”
Attaching the Insect Control Bag to his waist, Su Jie opened the Ancient Mirror and stepped through it to return to Blue Star.
Mande City.
Fumen Breeding Farm, the underground poisonous insect breeding base.
Su Jie tossed the inferior poison insects from the Tianyuan World into it and set up the Qiankun Xuanbing Formation Diagram.
With a little time, those poisonous insects would be fattened up by the Blue Star Poison Insects, converting into Low-Grade Poisonous Insects, ready for harvest by the thousand-hand centipede later.
He then took out the newly cultivated human-faced moths, and tens of thousands of them feasted in this place.
A myriad of Blue Star Poison Insects became their sustenance, with the number of human-faced moths achieving a breakthrough to Low Grade already reaching hundreds, and still slowly increasing as time went on.
Though these low-grade human-faced moths had limited attack methods and were considered weak in combat among low-grade poisonous insects – after all, few colony insects have strong individual combat abilities –
they were still Low-Grade Poisonous Insects, and any Outer Disciple with such an insect would stand out among their peers.
For Su Jie, it was like wholesaling, and if anyone saw it, their eyeballs would probably pop out.
After the human-faced moths had their fill, Su Jie took out several new Insect Control Bags and took away most of the Blue Star Poisonous Insects from Fumen Breeding Farm, so that he could feed the human-faced moths anytime and anywhere.
Having completed all this, Su Jie left Fumen Breeding Farm and returned to Mande City, entering the headquarters of Jieke Company.
“Mr. Su.”
“Mr. Su.”
“Mr. Su.”
One after another, company employees called out Su Jie's name, some even trembling with apprehension.
Ever since Su Jie acted decisively one night, executing a group of greedy officials and businessmen who were overstepping their bounds, the atmosphere in Mande City was greatly improved, including at Jieke Company.
Within the company, Su Jie summoned Chen Yaoguang.
After Liu Yingying returned to Hua Country, the affairs of Jieke Company were temporarily managed by Chen Yaoguang.
However, his main focus was still insect breeding. The real decision making was to report to either Liu Yingying or Su Jie for ideas, given the convenience of telephones and the internet nowadays.
“Mr. Su, what do you need?”
Chen Yaoguang, having received the message, hurried over.
“During this period, continue to expand the insect breeding business.”
Su Jie succinctly took out a plan and directed Chen Yaoguang to expand production according to the demands listed.
Currently, Su Jie's Body Worm Focusing Method and the thousand-hand centipede both required a large quantity of poisonous insects, especially the consumption by the thousand-hand centipede.
Its resource demand for each advancement grew exponentially, so to complete the fifth spirit refinement, the breeding of Poison Insects needed to keep up.
“Hiss, Mr. Su, do we need to breed so many? Our financial resources might not keep up,” Chen Yaoguang said, shocked after seeing the number of Poison Insects listed in the plan.
Because the quantity had increased several times compared to before.
“You don't need to worry about the money. Our Poisonous Insect breeding business is now at the time of harvest. The lab has produced results, and we'll soon have a new source of revenue.”
“What, there are results?”
Chen Yaoguang became instantly energized, ecstatic with joy.
Because all along, although Jieke Company's Poison Insect breeding had been bustling, there had been no output, only consumption with no returns.
This had caused the higher-ups at Jieke Company to be extremely anxious, fearing that one day the company might not be able to hold up any longer, and they would lose their good treatment.
“Otherwise, why would I breed so many poisonous insects? Our newest experiment is to extract and cultivate a new type of cell factor from poisonous insects that has a potent hair growth effect,” Su Jie said, smiling as he searched for a suitable excuse.
Continuously breeding so many poisonous insects without any output would also raise suspicions, and the emergence of Ghost Hair gave Su Jie a reasonable excuse.
As for the so-called cell factors, it is a new direction in the development of therapeutic drugs that is currently of global interest.
Various different cell factors regulate every aspect of the human body, including immunity, development, growth, and tissue repair.
Whether cell factors were involved in the induction of Ghost Hair, Su Jie wasn't sure. Matters of mysticism should not concern science; as far as Su Jie was concerned, if he said they existed, they existed.
“That's great, I'll get right to it and carry out the expanded reproduction plan as you instructed, Mr. Su,” Chen Yaoguang didn't harbor any doubts. Perhaps because of his simplistic nature, he couldn't fathom that someone would continuously foolishly throw money into a bottomless pit.
And developing a new drug to tap into a huge market—even Chen Yaoguang, who was not directly involved, knew how lucrative it could be. The prior expenses on breeding poisonous insects could be earned back in one fell swoop.
“Work hard, and you'll get a share of the company's year-end dividends. I will leave Mande's matters to you, as I need to return to the country soon to address the new company's issues,” Su Jie said.
“Don't worry, Mr. Su, I will definitely take good care of your business,” Chen Yaoguang assured.
Emboldened by the pie in the sky Su Jie had painted, Chen Yaoguang was filled with vigor, treating Jieke Company as his own family.
