Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Fortunately, Yekaterin managed to get rid of the citizens, otherwise they would have had enough gossip to talk about for a year.

Govi was at a loss for words. She needed to find something to do... to cover her embarrassment. Like flipping a balloon, she turned the entire abalone over. But then she felt it was too deliberate, so she simply moved away and went to wash her hands...

Glolo wasn't bothered by anything; she was just disappointed that her sister's plan had failed. It seemed finding a reliable noble heir to cooperate with wasn't an easy task after all…

Seeing that no one was sharing Richard with her, Yekaterin breathed a sigh of relief. Although she wasn't afraid of competition...

As for Richard?

He was already thinking to himself:

I must never speak only halfway and leave them to fill in the blanks... Otherwise, it would be too irrational for a real battle to erupt!

……

He searched repeatedly for ten minutes, turning over and over both his and Gove's abalone several times.

Richard confirmed that there were indeed no more insects inside the two Silver Demon Insects.

Glolo nodded to him, allowing him to go play on the side.

She glanced at Yekaterin, who was standing with her arms crossed in the distance.

She was still holding the handkerchief in her hand... but Richard was too embarrassed to take it now...

Moreover, making a girl's things dirty is not gentlemanly behavior.

More than thinking about these random things, his curiosity made him want to know: Why did Glolo sort these insect corpses?

"Is there any explanation for these dead insects?"

Glolo glanced at him, but then remembered that Richard was indeed illiterate in entomology...

"You know that the demonic insects have specific food, right?"

"Does the Earth Demon Worm eat ores and the like?"

"That's right, these insect corpses are excellent food. They can accelerate the growth rate of other insects of the same species. It's just that the effect isn't as good as the essence insect liquid..."

Hearing what Gallolo said, Richard realized that he didn't know how to advance the insect's life stage.

"Besides eating insects of the same kind and consuming insect essence, are there any other ways to accelerate life stage progression?"

Richard thought to himself:

Using a video game analogy, is a bug corpse like a double experience card for other bugs of the same species? And is the essence bug fluid like a ten-times experience card?

Although the specific multipliers were made up by Richard, that's probably the gist of it... There must be some way to accumulate basic experience, right?

Glolo, however, was quite annoyed.

His illusions were shattered:

"That's all, just like writing a book or a thesis. The rest is all about slowly grinding it out over time..."

"Just rely on time!?"

Richard thought there was some kind of cultivation technique or something!

As a result, raising insects is just like raising pigs. You have to take care of their food, water, and waste for a whole year... Is it only worthwhile if they reach a certain weight?

Seeing that Richard was still somewhat shocked,

Glolo continued to provide further explanation.

"My sister had the insect implanted when she was 6 years old, and with the Earth Demon Insects she consumed over the past 16 years... she only reached the third-tier mature stage at the age of 22... This is already a very, very fast speed."

"There should be a difference even among third-tier mature forms, right?"

Richard certainly didn't believe that people of the same rank were all the same. After all, Govi ​​and that group of blond-haired guys were all Earth Knights.

Based on my actual experience, Goldie is definitely much better than the blond guy.

"According to the Vatican, my sister is currently in the late stage of the third-order mature form. The smaller stages are further divided into early, middle, late, and final stages..."

Richard nodded, having acquired this knowledge.

He began to examine what the dream worms were creating in his brain.

Govi's information panel.

—Third Generation Character Card—

"Amethyst Knight: Govy"

"Late stage of third-order mature form: Level 39"

Height: 185 cm

"3D: 98-64-91"

"Favorability rating: I'd guess 78 points."

……

More data has been hidden.

Note: Peach flavor~

I glanced at the panel created by the little girl Dream Bug...

"What...what kind of panel are you making? I asked you to make an ability panel!?"

"Huh? Master... I didn't know? Is this not a good idea? I made it based on the game from your memories..."

"It's not that it's bad... but you should at least add the Amethyst Insects and the three major cocoons..."

"next time……"

Richard was truly surprised that Dream Bug had observed things so closely.

Moreover, it seems that the Dream Worm has learned some incredible novel writing techniques in his mind...

Because of those hidden body measurements and evaluations... he felt ashamed just looking at them.

Back to topic.

Richard stared at the table, at the thirty-five newly added corpses of the Earth Demon Insects.

"If Govi ​​eats these, will she be able to reach the fourth-tier complete form?"

"Of course not. And they're not eaten raw, they're all made into potions... there's not much to it, the effects are all about the same. It's just a bit more civilized this way."

Gossa returned at some point and spoke softly behind Richard.

Richard's brain works quite well in every way except for his lack of knowledge about insects.

He immediately thought of the distribution of these spoils and looked at Yekaterin.

"The spoils... how did you agree on that?"

"Do you want one too?"

Yekalin also looked at Richard.

Richard wasn't particularly interested in the spoils, after all, the insectoid attack was related to him... but he wouldn't tell Yekaterin any of that.

"There are no Thunder Demon Worms here, so there's no use for me taking them..."

Yekalin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but she didn't show it and spoke calmly.

"Oh... Govy and the others took their share of the Earth Demon Worm. The rest will be divided equally..."

Yekalin's words surprised Govi ​​and Gloria.

The agreement was clear: they would only take the share from the Earth Demon Insects. Why is Yekalin suddenly insisting on sharing with them?

Yekalin knew, of course, that the two sisters would be surprised, and she explained nonchalantly.

"The Duke's mansion of the North is not short of resources. Consider the other half as a share for that guy..."

Everyone naturally understood who Yekalin was referring to as "that guy".

"It seems Miss Yekaterin cares a lot about Richard," Govye said in a private chat with her sister through Dreamworm.

"We've treated him pretty well, haven't we? We've given him dream worms and thunder demon worms. We even provided his maid with the resources to prepare potions, without asking him for any..."

Glolo is quite shrewd; a qualified scholar may not understand politics, but they will certainly be meticulous about resources…

They weren't given time to continue their discussion.

Yekalin spoke again.

"If you take this resource, you can't compete with me for his essence insect nectar..."

She emphasized the word "he" very much.

Gowe just tends to overthink things; she's not stupid.

How could she not understand that Yekaterin was saying not to compete with her...

It doesn't just refer to the essence of insect venom.

It was just that Gwyneth's attitude toward Richard surprised Gwyneth.

This Miss Yekaterin seems to be bewitched by Richard.

That guy didn't have the Heart-Bewitching Worm implanted, did he?
