Chapter 65: The Appearance of the Myriad-Change Silkworm

Jiaying City Pet Beast Association.

President Wang is currently with the presidents of pet beast associations from other districts and cities, reporting to President Zhang of the provincial capital's pet beast association regarding the post-disaster reconstruction work following the end of the Beast Tide.

"Old Wang, I heard things were quite miserable over your way too."

"The situation escalated at one point; surely the Exotic Beast carcasses over there haven't been fully cleared away yet, have they?"

"The ones that invaded my side were Chinese Double-Velvet Pincer Crabs."

"The taste is quite good, but once killed, they started rotting in less than a day, emitting a foul stench like rotten seafood."

A bearded president was complaining to Wang Jinyin.

In normal times, if someone called him Old Wang, Wang Jinyin would have jumped up, but this time he calmly took a sip of his tea.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly, looking calm and composed.

"President Wang has already finished clearing the Exotic Beast carcasses over there."

President Zhang stated the answer.

"Old Wang, clearing the Exotic Beast carcasses must have cost quite a bit of money. Given the scale of the Beast Tide you had, the emergency processing must have been an astronomical figure."

"If it's painful, just cry it out; don't bottle it up inside, it's not good for your health."

"Once a Beast Tide breaks out."

"Those cleaning companies come sniffing around like wolf pups that have smelled a big piece of fat."

"The prices they quote are more ruthless than the last."

"They all want to bite a big chunk of fat off our Pet Beast Association."

"But the Exotic Beast carcasses on my side were piled up like mountains, and the people at the Pet Beast Association were worked to the point of madness."

"I only managed to squeeze out time for this meeting amidst my busy schedule."

A middle-aged man as thin as a hemp stalk complained and grumbled, his expression at this moment more bitter than if he had eaten coptis.

"Haha, President Feng, I didn't spend a single cent on the flesh and blood clearing work this time." Speaking of this, President Wang couldn't hold it back; the corners of his mouth curled deeply upward, and even an AK couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

The other pet beast association presidents were stunned, looking at each other across the screens.

"What is going on?"

"Old Wang, don't keep us in suspense."

"That's right, if there's a good cleaning company, introduce it to your brothers."

Seeing that the atmosphere had been built up enough, President Wang revealed the matter of the Sunflower King helping to clear the Exotic Beast flesh and blood.

"Of course, the Sunflower King is a pet beast belonging to a public-spirited citizen of our Jiaying City, while the second-tier sunflowers are meticulously cultivated by Shenshan Middle School."

"If you need to rent the Sunflower King to clear Exotic Beast flesh and blood, this cost certainly cannot be avoided."

Wang Jinyin made a hand-rubbing gesture.

"But I can guarantee as the president of the Jiaying City Pet Beast Association that the fee is guaranteed to be the lowest on the market."

"It isn't easy for people to cultivate sunflowers, so you all should weigh it carefully."

"This can actually be considered the cost consumed in cultivating the sunflowers."

"If you have a need, contact me, and I will build a bridge and make the connection for you."

After finishing the work report, President Zhang did not hang up the communication immediately; he had another topic to discuss with Wang Jinyin.

"During the Beast Tide, you reported to me that you discovered someone with the Future Prediction talent?"

"Was it he who predicted that a Beast Tide was about to break out in Jiaying City?"

President Zhang asked with narrowed eyes.

"To be precise, it should be that this person took the initiative to find me via email."

"But this person is very cautious, adopting multi-layer IP fixed-point dispersion technology; we still haven't found his original IP."

"If not for this person's warning, we wouldn't have found the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm so quickly and stopped the emergence of the Beast Tide at the source."

"As for the Beast Tide almost breaking out due to the smuggling ship, that was my negligence."

"Currently, the Burrowing Rat Secret Realm has already been taken by us."

President Zhang nodded: "The higher-ups want this Burrowing Rat Secret Realm."

"As compensation, we will give you another Secret Realm."

"As for that person who possesses the Future Prediction talent, you try your best to keep close to him; you must let him see our goodwill."

"Future Prediction is a Super S-Rank Talent; the higher-ups have already begun to attach importance to this matter. Before long, someone will come to Jiaying City to investigate this."

"We must protect anyone who possesses a Super S-Rank Talent at the first opportunity."

"He is an important existence capable of influencing the National Destiny of our Yan Country."

At this moment, the door to the conference room was knocked on with a bang-bang-bang.

"President Wang, an email has come in from Y; there is a major situation that needs to be reported."

President Zhang raised his eyebrows and signaled to Wang Jinyin: "Go see what important intelligence Y has sent."

The secretary walked in and handed the laptop to Wang Jinyin.

The moment Wang Jinyin saw the email title, he felt a chill run through his entire body.

Cold sweat soaked his back, his pupils contracted violently, and his face turned pale instantly.

The information revealed by Y this time was even more explosive than the information about the Beast Tide breaking out.

【Professor Su Qingxian, Director of the Imperial Capital Research Institute, has passed away.】

【Professor Su Qingxian suffered a heart attack; she did not have her quick-acting heart pills on her person and collapsed on Jia Ying Jie at Bian Jiang Lu in Jiaying City, aged sixty-five.】

"Old Wang, Old Wang."

President Zhang called out several times before calling Old Wang's soul back.

"Old Wang, could it be that Y's information says a Beast Tide has broken out somewhere else again?"

Old Wang smiled bitterly and said, "I would even prefer a Beast Tide to break out."

"Let me forward the email Y sent to you so you can take a look."

"It's still that same private email address, right?"

"Sent it over, take a look."

After seeing the email, President Zhang was also greatly shocked.

"Old Wang, how are you sure this is real?"

"Professor Su Qingxian is an important protected figure of Yan Country; how could she possibly appear in Jiaying City?"

"Hold on, let me confirm."

President Zhang seemed to have suddenly thought of something; after making a private phone call, he received definitive news.

"Old Wang, I've confirmed it with an informed source; Y's intelligence is true."

"Professor Su will indeed be coming to Jiaying City in the next few days."

"She is coming to Jiaying City in a private capacity to visit a friend."

"However, rest assured, I will report this matter upward; don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"As for that Sun Flower Cleaning proposal, I think this plan is quite good; we must reduce the impact of the Beast Tide on various cities as soon as possible to avoid the appearance of severe pollution and severe plague phenomena."

Zhang Lingxue hung up the phone; it was President Zhang who had called just now, and she had taken the opportunity to tell President Zhang the news that her teacher, Su Qingxian, would be visiting in three days.

At the same time, she also told President Zhang about her idea of establishing the Sun Flower Cleaning Company.

Ye Bai had never imagined that such immense wealth would fall upon his head just like that.

Just now, he had suddenly sensed that the Thousand-Change Silkworm was about to break out of its cocoon.

Counting the time, three days had passed.

It was also time for it to hatch.

In any case, the teacher's Research Institute was the most heavily guarded place; letting the Thousand-Change Silkworm break out of its cocoon here made Ye Bai worry a little less.

Ye Bai released the two-meter-tall giant silkworm cocoon from his Pet Beast Space.

The silkworm cocoon was currently shaking violently.

"I wonder if, after evolving into a Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm, it will be very majestic and domineering, just like that Blood Gu Butterfly."

Ye Bai was full of anticipation; after all, the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm was Ye Bai's first Pet Beast.

The stronger the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm's strength, the stronger his own strength would be.

Soon, the silkworm cocoon cracked open a slit, and with a loud 'Crack! Crack!', the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm made a grand entrance.

It leaped out from the giant cocoon.

Look at that skin radiating a white jade-like luster, those ignorant and innocent big eyes, as well as those neat eight teeth and a long red tongue.

Ye Bai covered his face (*/ω＼*).

How come it looks no different after evolving than it did before?

The two-meter-tall giant cocoon, was it just to let it live more comfortably?

Ye Bai wanted to complain wildly at this moment.

However, he carefully examined the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm and finally discovered two leaf-sized, thin-as-cicada-wings wings on its back.

But given the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm's current size, it couldn't fly.

Just then, a massive mental force spread out in Ye Bai's mind, and strands of icy cold aura surged into his Pet Beast Space, lighting up Ye Bai's second slot.

This proved that Ye Bai had officially become a Second-Tier Pet Beast Master.

Ye Bai blinked his eyes; this was finally a piece of news that made one feel slightly comforted.

【Name: Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm】

【Gender: Male】

【Personality: Gluttonous】

【Level: Second-Tier Level 1】

【Mastered Skills: Silk Spitting (Proficient), Hardening (Proficient), Impact (Skilled), Clone (Skilled) (Innate Talent Skill): The Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm can split into two clones that possess physical bodies. These two clones are controlled by the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm. As the skill proficiency increases, the number of clones the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm can split into will also increase. Each time it splits into clones, it consumes the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm's physical strength.】

【Evolution Route 1: Five-Element Butterfly: Crystal core of a 5th-Tier butterfly-type Exotic Beast of a different attribute *1, evolve in the Five-Element Land, requires 3rd-Tier peak strength.】

【Evolution Route 2: Ten-Thousand-Change Butterfly: Ten-Thousand-Change Stone *1, Six-Tier Butterfly Insect King Heart *1, defeat five 5th-Tier butterfly-type Exotic Beasts of different attributes.】

Sure enough, the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm still had evolution routes; choosing the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm route was correct.

Ye Bai had bet correctly!

"Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm, use Clone."

After hearing Ye Bai's command, the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm shook its head, and its tongue pointed at its own belly.

Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble.

That's right, the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm had been evolving for three days, so its belly had long been hungry.

Now it urgently needed to replenish its physical strength.

It just so happened that it was past mealtime, and the major food delivery platforms were basically no longer taking orders.

Ye Bai could only take out the Sun Flower Nectar that the Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm had been craving for who knows how long.

During this Beast Tide, the triumphant Sun Flowers had all secreted quite a lot of Flower Nectar.

Ye Bai had also taken this opportunity to collect a full six large barrels.

Among them, one barrel was even filled with the Flower Nectar produced by the Sun Flower King.

The Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm directly used its tongue to roll up the Flower Nectar and swallowed it in big gulps.

The Sun Flower's Flower Nectar was rich in nutrients and had a faint floral fragrance.

The Ten-Thousand-Change Silkworm drank until its belly was round and plump.

Having eaten and drunk its fill, it immediately split off a similarly simple-minded Clone.

"Come out, Blood Poison Moth."

Ye Bai released the Blood Poison Moth stored in the Beast Card; he wanted to evaluate at the same time whether the Blood Poison Moth's blade-arms were sharper, or if the Myriad-Change Silkworm Clone's defense was more formidable.

The peculiarity of the Myriad-Change Silkworm will be revealed in the next chapter; how could an ordinary, gluttonous, and lazy Pet Beast become the protagonist's first Pet Beast? The answer is in the next chapter; let's see if any readers can guess it in advance. Thank you to Erhouwujianwushuwurao for the tip, and to the reader with the tail number 6563 for the tip, thank you~
