Chapter 315 Feeding
Lu Youyou couldn't see their discussion because she hadn't dared to close her eyes all night and was now finally unable to hold on any longer, lying in bed fast asleep.
When I woke up again, it was already 11:30 a.m.
She hurriedly prepared the dishes ordered by the customers using the food factory, and only after sending them out did she open the gang's breeding farm to check on the worm.
Last night it was the size of a caterpillar, but today it's about the size of an unhatched egg.
The growth rate is so fast...
As if knowing that Lu Youyou was watching it, the insect began to form a heart shape again, conveying its harmlessness.
Lu Youyou placed it on the table and carefully instructed, "Don't eat my table."
The insect stood upright, forming an "L" shape, and then changed to a "Z" shape when it nodded.
Lu Youyou found it somewhat amusing: "You've really gotten carried away. Can you even understand human speech?"
The insect nodded again.
Lu Youyou's smile turned serious, and she asked earnestly, "Can you understand human speech?"
The insect nodded heavily, like an "n", and then touched its head to the ground.
Lu Youyou frowned. Could this be a pet that can recognize its owner?
She tentatively asked, "Do you want to acknowledge me as your master?"
The insect shook its head.
"Then you can leave. I'm not going to support you anymore."
The insect shook its head again.
Lu Youyou laughed in exasperation: "What? You want me to keep you but don't want to be my pet? You get all the good things!"
The insect then shook its head.
What does this mean? Does it think it didn't get the better of the situation?
The problem is that this insect can't talk, making communication difficult.
Suddenly, Lu Youyou asked, "Can you write?"
The insect nodded.
Lu Youyou was pleasantly surprised. She took out a wooden tray the same size as the coffee table, sprinkled soil on it, and let the insects write on it.
The insects were also clever; one of them leaped into the tray and used its tail as a pen to write.
At first, the insect was a bit clumsy, writing unevenly.
That's not all. The key issue is that the characters written by the insects are different from Chinese characters. It's one thing to add or omit strokes, but the exact same Chinese characters have different meanings than the Chinese language!
This caused Lu Youyou to apologize several times.
Later on, although the insect's handwriting was still very messy, at least Lu Youyou could recognize it.
She said that human beings have unlimited adaptability.
I managed to recognize the unique font that the insect used.
"You say you can scare away those insects outside?"
The insect nodded.
"You can't be a pet because you're a high-level monster, and you have to turn into an egg and hatch again every so often?"
The insect nodded again.
"Then could you please stop those bugs from attacking me and the gang members?"
This time, the insect didn't nod. It shook its head helplessly and started writing in its immature handwriting again.
"Too small to give orders... How big do you need to grow to be considered big?"
The insect has started writing again.
"20 jin? Such a big bug, no wonder the Rat King said it tastes good when roasted."
Seeing the question mark drawn by the insect on the tray, Lu Youyou smiled.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. When will you grow to 20 pounds?"
"Oh, eating a variety of things, not just human food? The more varied the diet, the faster you grow."
"After you grow to 20 pounds, can you tell those insects not to harm my gang?"
"It depends on how my gang treats you? Well, we've been very nice to you. Didn't a lot of people feed you yesterday? Even though I didn't see it, the gang has records of it, so you can't deny it."
"What's your name? I can't keep calling you 'Cricket' all the time."
"Honey? That sounds sweet."
After talking with Mimi, Lu Youyou returned it to the gang's breeding farm.
And he sent a message in the gang group, telling everyone what he knew.
[Zhan Yu: So Mimi is the real Insect King. I can offer her a few artificial Insect Kings for a treat.]
[Wang Qiao: No wonder he even eats knives; it turns out the more he eats, the faster he levels up.]
[Ding Yuxin: Since Mimi can give back to everyone once she reaches 20 pounds, why not feed her a 20-pound weight?]
[Zhang Yuning: No, that won't work. That insect has an extremely strong digestive system. Last time it ate half a cartload of Youyou's food, and it only grew this little. Its weight doesn't change with the food it eats.]
[Wang Rongrong: I just tried it, and Mimi even eats item cards, and she's visibly gotten bigger. Feel free to feed her any unused item cards.]
As soon as Wang Rongrong spoke, everyone stopped chatting and started taking out their unused item cards to feed Mimi.
Then everyone discovered that Mimi only grew noticeably when she ate something for the first time.
Even the most valuable item card won't grow bigger if you eat the same thing multiple times.
So everyone started to share some of the supplies from their backpacks with Mimi.
And Mimi successfully gained weight to three pounds, becoming as big as a white radish.
In short, with Mimi, some unused and unwanted waste can finally find a purpose.
Lunchtime arrived, and Lu Youyou ate roasted sweet potatoes while checking the public chat messages to pass the time.
She hadn't received a reply from Yu Qian these past few days, and whenever she had a spare moment, she felt depressed.
Let's look at other people's lives instead. At least we'll have something to do and won't let our minds wander aimlessly.
[Player 89002: Have you guys noticed that your hamsters have been a bit lazy lately? They used to catch hundreds of pounds of bugs in a morning, but now they're so lazy that they haven't even noticed the bugs eroding my car.]
[I love fried chicken: Thanks for the invitation, but I don't know how to comment because I don't have the qualifications to hire rat employees.]
[Evening Breeze: I've hired them. It's true that the mice aren't as efficient as before. I also asked the Mouse King, and he said the insects' strength has increased, so I need to hire more mice.]
[Neon Lights: If only you had said that sooner! I just had a fight with the mouse employees, and they abandoned even the sweet potatoes, ripped off several of my tires, and ran away. Bugs are swarming my window and have already chewed through my thick glass. They've really gotten stronger!]
[Honghu: What should I do? The insect-killing elixir I bought from Lu Youyou is almost gone. I really hate these disgusting bugs!]
As Lu Youyou read the comments, a plan formed in her mind.
We can use everyone's help to collect different supplies and feed Mimi until she grows to 20 pounds.
When Mimi regains her status as the Insect Queen, possessing both strength and identity, she will be able to command the insects to retreat.
