Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Richard did not reply.

Gove continued speaking:

"We did charge a processing fee for some of the materials. We've installed all the core materials for you! You can't say we took the materials... Besides, even if we installed everything, your Thunder Demon Worm still wouldn't be able to run..."

Richard certainly knew that, apart from the two Silver Demon Insects themselves, there were also the seven Silver Wing Insects.

As for the other material insects, Gowei and the others simply took half of them...

But none of that matters; as long as one's abilities are sufficient, that's enough. He also understands the rationale behind charging processing fees.

Richard remained silent.

He felt he was such a beast!

Yekarin must have already discussed it with Govi ​​and the others, to have this thing made for her... the Fourteen-Winged Devouring Knight Insect...

I actually...

And then he went and threw a tantrum at Yekaterin!?

I'm so damn stupid! I'm being kept by a rich woman, and I still doubt whether she loves me!

"Are you...?" she asked the telepathic conch worm.

"Hmm? What is it?"

"I got the bug..."

When Yekaterin learned why Richard had sought her out, her tone became playful:

"Oh, so this is it. Do you like it?"

"Who do you want me to kill!"

"I'll tell you when you get back..." She ignored the big boy who had just received his new toy.

Yekalin deliberately cut off the communication.

Richard was left to figure things out on his own...

……

"Ahem! Don't you want to try out your abilities?"

Glolo really wanted to see the capabilities of his masterpiece. After all, he had only been tinkering with the cocoon technique for a day, and there were still many areas that needed adjustment.

Richard then realized what was happening and, under Goldie's envious gaze, put the belt on.

"Master, this bug is a stupid bug. It looks like a corpse." The little girl's voice rang out again.

"Can you control that?"

"I've even figured out my combo!"

The little girl, Dream Bug, directly simulated a set of armor in her dream world.

Richard's consciousness returned to reality.

He was too lazy to think about any transformation moves; he wasn't that dramatic.

"Henshin!"

In an instant, countless silver tentacles spread from the belt all over the body.

Pale purple tentacles also sprouted from Richard's body, intertwining and merging with the silver tentacles...

Then, armor as white as silver stars in the night quickly covered his entire body.

Fourteen wing membranes grew from its shoulders and back, falling vertically like a cape.

Until the silver scalp armor covered the skull, the slender, pointed horn on the forehead separated to form a V shape.

The eye nails shone brightly...

So far,

Ferocious, chilling, and ruthless

The Silver Knight was born.

Richard could clearly sense that the entire suit of armor was like an extension of his own limbs, pulsating in sync with his heartbeat.

Through the dream worm, a series of combat moves flashed through his mind. This little girl really has a combo planned out?

Through the hidden, ferocious, and murderous insect nature within the Thunder Demon Insect's genes, Richard's gaze instinctively locked onto the necks of Govi ​​and Gloria...

That sudden lock of consciousness, that chilling, murderous gaze…

This startled Ge Luoluo.

Govye drew her amethyst greatsword and pointed it directly at Richard's neck.

"Calm down! Don't let the bugs take over your mind!"

Fortunately, Richard regained consciousness in time.

I didn't bother to fully appreciate the terrifying power contained within the armor, or its other functional modules.

This transformation into a humanoid insect beast can really make people lose control...

"Off..."

Richard immediately deactivated his transformation.

It wasn't that he couldn't continue suppressing his murderous urges. Rather, the brief three seconds of transformation had already exceeded the limits of his body's capacity.

The thunderous demonic insects inside his body were frantically sucking his blood to replenish their energy. If he didn't revert to his transformation form, he would likely be drained dry.

"How are you feeling?"

Glolo didn't blame Richard for his sudden loss of control. She was more curious about the feelings of the user of the Fourteen-Winged Devouring Knight Insect.

Richard waved his hand; he was still feeling a bit suffocated.

"I was almost drained dry..."

"Yeah, that's normal. After all, trying to use a Tier 1 insect to power Tier 4 armor is just wishful thinking..."

Richard took the jerky that Goldie offered him to replenish his energy...

While eating, he opened his mouth:

"It feels like I'm about to turn into a Silverwing Slayer Bug after only three seconds of use..."

"To be precise, it's a composite of those two insects. Their ganglia are all fused into the belt... If you really want to be precise, it was their consciousness that was influencing you just now."

Glolo was taking notes in her notebook, recording the data she had just observed...

Goldie brought out more jerky and shared it with Richard.

"If you're worried about not being able to control it, you can let me use the armor. I'll definitely be your super henchman..."

Richard glanced at her; no wonder Gosling was so attentive. So she wanted to get his armor for free!

He had longed for power, and now he finally possessed such a powerful weapon. Even if he couldn't fully control it yet, he couldn't possibly give it to someone else.

However, she did not directly reject Goldie.

"This was a gift from Yekaterin, so I can't just lend it to you. Besides, I'm confident I can suppress it."

"Really? It's alright. I can't control it anyway; this is a special version of the Thunder Demon Insect. Using it would cause a backlash..."

Govi wasn't too disappointed; she could just have Glolo order a set for her later. After all, she still had those basic material worms.

Richard puffed out his cheeks:

"The Silverwing Hunter-Bug couldn't do anything to me while it was alive, so what harm could it possibly do to me after it's dead?"

"So you'll just kill him again, huh? I'm really starting to admire you more and more."

Govye neither agreed nor disagreed with Richard's words, after all, she was often influenced by the insect's consciousness.

……

Until Richard replenished his energy.

Only then did he pull his coat up to conceal this unparalleled weapon of mass destruction.

After saying goodbye to Glolo, they headed to the fountain square with Glolo.

Richard arrived.

The captain of the guard rushed to greet him, but when he was only ten meters away from young Master Richard, he was terrified by a terrifying aura emanating from him.

Young Master has gotten stronger again? He really is a hidden fourth-tier fully-formed being! No wonder he was able to withstand the attack of a fourth-tier insect beast that day. Such a young fourth-tier being… Following a master like this is the only way to have a future! Father, your decision to side with the family in the inner world was definitely a mistake…

Richard had no interest in the head of the guards' brainstorming session.

It's even less likely that he would know that the former head of the guard was this young man's father...

"Notify the team to depart immediately," Richard instructed him.

The captain of the guard snapped out of his thoughts and quickly straightened his posture...

"Yes, sir!"

A pioneering team of one thousand people marched through Stormwind City amidst envious glances from its citizens.

They marched in a grand procession toward the city gate.

After all, the wages for a day's work by the pioneers are more than ten times that of these craftsmen.

In this world, being chosen by nobles and having the right to risk one's life is a very lucky thing.

Even the citizens were unaware of these pioneers who left Stormwind.

How many of them will make it back alive?
