Global Wasteland: Sanctuary of the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 92 The Disadvantages of Beetle Eggs
"The points are not moving?"

Su Mu found that the points on the panel were exactly the same as it was more than an hour ago, still forty!

This is very wrong.

Since the scale of the beetles has grown, they no longer hatch in batches, but in sequence.

Every hour, several beetles hatched and were killed by Reimu.

In theory, his points should change every hour.

"Could it be that the rotten flesh has been consumed?"

It was too late to sort out a lot of resources in the stone castle, so Su Mu walked out of the stone castle and came to the small iron house of the beetle farm despite the heavy snow.

Looking in from the window, dozens of beetle carcasses were piled up inside, covering the entire floor of the iron room.

Reimu was right in the middle of the iron room, waving three vines in boredom.

Not far from it, there is still a small half of the pile of carrion left. It is definitely not a problem to feed a dozen or so beetles to mature.

"It seems that it is not because there is not enough carrion." Su Mu denied his initial thoughts.

"Lord, Lord..."

At this time, Lingmeng greeted him crisply, and then complained aggrievedly: "There are no bugs, bugs... kill... kill..."

"Why not?"

Frowning, Su Mu opened the door and walked into the room, dissecting all the beetle corpses.

This gave him a total of 87 bug meat and 87 bug carapaces.

After counting the harvest, Su Mu looked at the eggs left on the ground, there were hundreds of them, large and small!
It's just that, without exception, the development of these eggs has all stagnated.

"The reason for the temperature?"

After feeling the temperature of the iron room, Su Mu rejected this idea.

Compared with when the iron house was first built, there is no obvious difference in temperature. It made no sense to hatch before, but now it can't.

"The reason for the light?"

"Environmental reasons?"

"Because of the time period?"

After putting forward many hypotheses in a row, and then rejecting them one by one through experiments, Su Mu found the most likely reason-the insect eggs have reached their limit!

After multiple rounds of reproduction, the quality of the eggs has declined layer by layer, and the developmental ability has almost declined by now.

Now it is impossible for the eggs to mature without a few days.

"Sure enough, there is no such simple and unlimited reproduction..."

Su Mu sighed, feeling a little worried.

He spent a lot of time building a beetle farm, and then found a farm manager, but there was a problem with the things he raised.

Isn't this a waste of work?
"We have to find a way to solve this." Su Mu began to look for a remedy.

He didn't want his hard work to go to waste like this. Besides, food was in short supply in the wasteland world, and it was the time when beetle meat was needed. How could this cash cow be so useless?

"I can use spiritual energy to catalyze the development, but if every egg needs to be catalyzed, it won't do much in a day."

Squatting on the ground, Su Mu stared closely at an insect egg, thinking about how to rejuvenate it.

Even if the spiritual root has been raised by two levels, the spiritual energy he can control every day is still not much.

Therefore, it is definitely not feasible to adopt the method of aura to catalyze development.

Have to think of another way...

"Eggs have no vitality, it should be the lack of some element they need..."

"Then what elements do insect eggs need?"

After thinking about it, Su Mu suddenly had an idea and thought of something!
red moon!

Every time there is a red moon, the eggs are as if they have been drugged, and the development cannot be stopped at all.

This is enough to show that the power of the red moon is extremely important to the eggs, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the source of life for the eggs!
If these eggs can be supplemented with enough power of the red moon, maybe these eggs will be able to re-exude the vitality of development!
With this idea popping up in his mind, Su Mu immediately started to operate.

It is actually not difficult for him to reproduce the power of the red moon, because he has a pet with the power of the red moon as its source.

The power of the red moon is also a kind of aura, but it has different attributes from the regular aura.

As long as there is a template around, Su Mu can easily imitate this kind of aura.

"Lingmeng, release your spiritual energy." Su Mu greeted Lingmeng.

After a brief teaching, Reimu could still understand some simple instructions. At this moment, when he heard Su Mu's greeting, he immediately released some of the black and red spiritual energy in his body.

Su Mu closed his eyes and felt it carefully, and a black-red misty ball slowly condensed in the palm of his hand.

Its fineness is the same as the aura released by Lingmeng!
"That's it."

With a wave of his arm, the mist-like ball was smashed to the ground, and then turned into smoke and spread out in ripples, attacking every inch of land in the iron house.

Swish!
The eggs reacted immediately, and one by one began to swell rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of larvae broke out of their shells, and then flocked to the small pile of carrion.

Of course, there were also many larvae who were not afraid of death who came to attack Su Mu, but were easily slapped to death by Lingmeng.

Su Mu didn't care either. Insect eggs were not very valuable. As long as you leave one tinder, you can get a lot of them in no time.

What he is worried about now is, after the eggs that have been activated by the power of the red moon develop into beetles, will the eggs laid by them retain their vitality?
If the eggs laid by these newly developed beetles are still weak, then the method he tried will be considered a failure.

huh...

huh...

A dozen or so beetles that grabbed the carrion to eat began to grow rapidly, expanding to the size of a washbasin in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this, Reimu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately launched an attack, smashing the beetles to death one by one.

This brought Su Mu a total of 140 points rewards, as well as income from a copper treasure box.

Su Mu didn't care about these small profits, and carefully observed the eggs laid by these dead beetles.

After watching for a while, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's really possible."

Su Mu's face showed joy, he really didn't expect the problem of insect eggs to be solved so easily.

After being activated by the power of the red moon, the eggs laid by the beetles are full of vitality again, and it is estimated that they will develop in a few hours.

His beetle farm can be considered to be operating normally.

"After activating it once with the power of the red moon, it should be able to maintain reproductive vitality for several generations, which is enough."

Su Mu clapped his hands and stood up.

After that, he was able to go on a pleasant trip selling insect meat again.

But soon, he realized a problem.

If the eggs of beetles have reproduction restrictions and will lose their reproductive vigor after a few generations at most, wouldn't other players with eggs be unable to farm for insect meat soon?

Those people have no place to engage in the power of the red moon. When encountering this kind of problem, it is almost impossible to solve it!
