Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

"Hmm, little Chad... I heard you praising me."

!! ?

Although surprised, Richard quickly deduced why Astelle was able to hear her own thoughts.

The essence of the so-called dream worm soul connection: [Richard—Dream Worm—Dream Worm—Aster]

Since her own dream worm, a little loli, could peer into her consciousness, then when her dream worm connected with her sister's, this consciousness channel would also be established...

Now that Astelle can peek into her own mind, it's only natural. But why can't I see what she's thinking?

Astelle is in a good mood now that she knows what her silly little brother is thinking.

She patiently explained:

"Your little girl-like dream worm is too low in life level to perceive my dream worm. In short, she is suppressed by my dream worm."

"Yes, I know you think this is unfair, but the reality of strength is fair. Even though I didn't put up any defenses against you, she just couldn't see through me... There's nothing I can do about it."

"Okay, okay, stop overthinking. The more you imagine, the more of your little secrets I'll know. While I enjoy this situation, I hope one day you'll tell me yourself..."

"When it comes to experiencing my younger brother, I'd rather do it through your mouth... my ears... rather than through dreams or anything like that. That would be too unexciting and too boring."

"I'll write down those little thoughts that pop into your head, like how I think my sister's legs are weak... But I won't look at them all the time, unless I've accumulated enough... or I just can't resist anymore..."

Hearing his sister say this, Richard felt the strange connection weaken considerably. The connection remained stable, just hidden.

The silly younger brother calmed down a bit and rubbed his temples.

Snapped!

His hands were slapped away by Asdale, and a pair of soft, slightly cold hands began to massage him...

Since things have come to this... and there's no way to resist, you might as well just enjoy it.

Richard closed his eyes.

Ignore the little girl's crying and sobbing inside my head, because it's just a fake complaint after being bullied by Asdale's dream worms... I really don't know when she learned Sally's tricks.

And it's not even dawn yet, why get up so early?

Although Richard had his eyes closed, he was not asleep.

Instead, he thinks about today's daily intelligence in his mind:

The location where the essence insect fluid is collected overlaps with the territory of the mushroom people? What are mushroom people?

Asdale clearly didn't continue to probe Richard's thoughts, otherwise she would have already answered her brother's question.

Now that my sister knows I'm a transmigrator, telling her about the system isn't a big deal.

Richard thought to himself:

What is a mushroom person?

Hearing her idiot brother utter such a proper noun, Astelle wasn't surprised at all; a playful smile appeared on her lips.

"Oh... this? You call me 'sister,' so I'll tell you. After all, it's really impolite of you to treat me like a question-and-answer machine."

Asdale stopped what she was doing, hoping Richard would grant her small request.

Richard has nothing to be ashamed of, after all, it's a fact that they are related by blood.

"Sister, what is a mushroom person?"

Then Asdale continued:

"Mushroom people are just mushroom people. They're delicious in mushroom soup, but they don't provide much energy. Pan-fried or stir-fried, they're also quite tasty. What? Do you want me to... get you a few to eat?"

Richard discovers that Asdale really does love eating insects and beasts...

She enjoys eating the grilled insect and beast meat she hunts herself; she even caught a Tier 3 insect and beast herself before; and when it comes to mushroom people, she can think of three ways to cook them.

I really don't know if her stomach is located on her chest...

Stop thinking about those things.

"The location for collecting the essence insect fluid overlaps with the territory of the mushroom people. There might be some conflict later."

Richard confessed directly.

Asdale thought for a moment: "You want me to help you deal with the fungus people?"

"That would be ideal, but if you're not willing, I'll find a way myself..."

Just as Richard had guessed. Even though Asdale was very kind to him, she wouldn't help him with everything.

Asdale continued massaging Richard's temples, her tone calm:

"It's good that you think this way. I don't want you to be a brother who is overly dependent on his sister. Although I don't think there's anything wrong with that... but I don't have much time left. There are many things you'll have to face on your own."

"Yes, I will..."

Richard didn't want to talk about those heavy topics. Although the future was bleak, he couldn't just stay depressed and wait for bad things to happen.

To use an analogy, even if the world were to end, one should do what one wants to do in the final moments, and try to make up for any regrets.

Seeing that her silly younger brother was so thoughtful and aware, Astelle stopped pretending to be overly gentle:

"So I won't help you this time; that's your own problem. Besides, the essence insect fluid isn't for me; it's for those young girls. That's something that's making me a little unhappy!"

Is she turning into a jealous little girl again?

Richard, of course, wouldn't voice this, even though his sister's dream bug had definitely recorded it. Who knows, she might look at it someday...

"Alright, I'm going to take a nap. We'll figure out how to deal with the mushroom people later..."

Don't be fooled by the fact that the mushroom person's name contains the character for "person".

But Richard knew this was definitely not some human subspecies! Even if it were, if they dared to obstruct his access to the essence insect fluid, he wouldn't hesitate to retaliate!

Not to mention, Richard is quite discerning about things like "those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts."

"What are you sleeping for? You've upset me, go make me breakfast!"

Asdale stopped massaging his shoulders and head, and pulled Richard out of his sleeping bag...

Even though she was a fourth-tier powerhouse, maintaining the same position and having Richard's lap as a pillow all night didn't cause her any discomfort. But she still wanted to change positions and move around a bit.

Richard: ...

I had no choice but to put on my own clothes to make sure my appearance was impeccable...

As soon as Richard opened the tent flap.

They keenly noticed it in the distant woods.

The test tubes containing the essence of the insect fluid, emitting a ghostly blue glow, have now clearly shifted in position…

And there are many different colors available.

The red, purple, yellow, and blue fluorescent lights flickered intermittently in the quiet dawn.

Extremely eye-catching!

Richard quickly ruled out one guess...it definitely wasn't the eyeball of a fifth-tier insect beast's tentacle.

Those must be the eyes of many individual organisms! Because the fluorescence is so widely dispersed, unlike the dense clusters of arms and tentacles.

Through the Fourteen-Winged Devourer Knight Insect Belt. He also heard many other things:

A buzzing... buzzing... noisy sound!

If that's not a mushroom man, what else could it be?
