Chapter 89: The Best for Ordinary Residents

July 9, 2023Ai Hrist

At this time, the store manager looked at Lu Jiu with a sense of hatred for iron and steel: “Cultivation and breeding, can it be compared with wild ones? Its body will shrink, and it will be about the size of an eating bowl.”

Lu Jiu went with the flow and poured a cup of tea for the manager: “You are really like an encyclopedia, store manager. I still have a lot to learn from you. Come, drink tea.”

The store manager took the tea and drank it: “You have asked all you should know, so let us, the employees have some private time to rest.”

“Okay, you rest, I won’t bother you.” Lu Jiu quickly got up and drank the tea she poured for herself just now.

Knowing these things, Lu Jiu went back and excitedly told Shen Jufeng about it.

“Now we know, but what about the others?” Anyway, she was the city lord, so she has to consider the residents of the city.

“Send an email notification in the name of the city lord, but according to what you said, the colorful spiders will be as big as bowls, and the output may not be as good as those killed in the wild. In addition, some people will feel uncomfortable when they see spiders. You can consider encouraging professional residents to sell some colorful spider eggs to ordinary residents.”

Lu Jiu thought about it for a while and felt that what Shen Jufeng said made sense, like her, she would rather go out and kill colorful spiders in the wild than breed them.

Thinking of a group of bowl-sized colorful spiders who will live in her home, Lu Jiu had goosebumps.

“I’m going to sell my colorful spider eggs cheaply to Old Man Zeng and the others for a low price so that even if I don’t go out to kill wild monsters, I will still have a source of income.”

Besides, she added colorful spider silk threads to her exclusive purchase page in the mission hall today. A thick bundle of silk threads was purchased for 2 silver coins, which was considered a high price.

According to the price given by the tailor shop manager, a bundle for 1 silver coin was just right. This was an item that can be used frequently in the future, and autumn was the season when colorful spiders flood, so the harvest will be more.

But Lu Jiu still gave the price of 2 silver coins. Of course, some residents didn’t believe it. They went directly to the tailor shop to ask for the purchase price. When they heard that it was 1 silver coin, they came back to trade with the city lord obediently.

Not everyone sells their stocks, some keep it for themselves, maybe they can use it in the future.

Hearing that Lu Jiu was going to sell the colorful spider eggs, Shen Jufeng also thought the same. He didn’t want to raise them, it was time-consuming, even though the colorful spiders looked attractive.

“Then you can also buy the colorful spider eggs after sending an email, and then put a bulk sale in the mission hall.” He knew that Lu Jiu won’t make the price higher, but not every ordinary resident would believe that breeding wild monsters would not attack people.

Besides, it was hatched from the eggs of wild monsters at the brown iron mutation level.

He added: “Let’s leave these purchased colorful spider eggs here first, and see what will happen after the colorful spider eggs hatch. After that, people will naturally want to buy them after it was proven safe.”

When Lu Jiu heard this, many ordinary residents had very low attacks, and everything was about safety.

Besides, since the world has changed, they have been killing wild monsters, and now they suddenly want to raise them, so everyone naturally needs to wait and see.

“Then I’ll try raising a few myself first, the result can be seen in just a week anyway.”

Shen Jufeng nodded, and took out the colorful spider eggs he harvested for her, “I’ll give you all these. Compared to breeding them, I want to kill the colorful spiders in the wild.”

After all, the rewards for killing authentic wild monsters were more generous, so there was no need to keep them.

[Dear residents:

I believe that many people have obtained colorful spider eggs. Here, I have learned the specific breeding methods. First, colorful spider eggs need professional tools to hatch. The hatched colorful spiders are only as big as a bowl and will not actively attack people. But if you take the initiative to attack them, the spider will fight back;

Secondly, you only need to feed some food to breed colorful spiders. They don’t eat much, and they will grow up in a week, and then they will automatically leave silk threads and disappear. Considering that the spiders shrink in size, the amount of silk produced may also be low. I have already opened a purchase option, those who don’t want to breed can choose to trade and sell colorful spider eggs.

Finally, I wish you all to become permanent residents of Xuantian City as soon as possible.]

The residents of the city have all received emails from the city lord. When the professional residents were still worried about what to do with the spider eggs, the city lord thoughtfully gave the breeding method.

Lin Zuo pinched a piece of paper with his thumb and forefinger, and it was covered with colorful spider eggs. To be honest, people don’t like densely packed things other than money.

He showed a disgusted expression: “I won’t keep this stuff, I’d rather kill colorful spiders than keep this one, if any of you want it, I’ll sell it cheap.”

As he spoke, he looked around at his teammates, but everyone looked as disgusted as him.

Not to mention breeding wild monsters, the colorful spiders that were originally as tall as them shrank like that. Who knows how much silk thread they can produce, these also eat food, and their food must be saved for the winter.

“Captain, we don’t want to raise them either. Who knows how many silk threads we can get for the food.”

Other teammates also echoed. Why not trade it in the mission hall, at least you can get money.

Lin Zuo also thought about the silk threads they got from the spiders. They had a lot of them. Today they went out to kill a circle of spiders, they will get a lot of silver coins if they trade them. If they earn more money, buying a house won’t be too much of a problem.

Lin Zuo had no choice but to throw the spider eggs aside: “Then sell them, they are useless, but they are suitable for ordinary residents to breed.”

Ordinary residents, especially middle-aged and elderly people, basically don’t go out to kill wild monsters, but they have the most food, and it’s okay to raise this harvest silk thread.

The colorful spider eggs of the members of Lin Zuo’s team were handed over to one of the team members, and he went to the mission hall to sell them.

On the city lord’s trading page, the uniform purchase price of a piece of colorful spider eggs was 125 copper coins, regardless of how many colorful spider eggs were on it, but in fact, the number of colorful spider eggs on each sheet was not bad, so everyone doesn’t care about these.

Killing a colorful spider egg, there was a high probability of about 1-3 colorful spider eggs. One person can harvest dozens of them in a day, and a few thousand copper coins a day was not low.

Lu Jiu quickly received hundreds of colorful spider eggs on the back side, and she took them all away. She can still sell them in the future, but she will sell them for the same price, 125 copper coins. She doesn’t need to make a difference.

On the second day, the blacksmith shop sells the new hatching tools, which can be hatched uniformly regardless of species.

Lu Jiu looked at the hatching tools. It looked like a steamer. It was made of metal, with one layer covering another. There was a temperature control opening at the bottom, where people can put firewood in it to burn. The hatching props will intelligently control the temperature.

Such an incubation item costs 1 silver coin, but it has a large capacity and a service life of 100 years. Ordinary residents can jointly buy one, and then everyone will incubate together.

But thinking that the capacity was so large, at least a dozen colorful spider eggs can be placed on one floor, and there are ten floors in total. Lu Jiu waved her big hand to prevent the residents from wasting the money and bought all the hatching props he made.

Then she asked the patrolling NPCs to put the hatching props in the lodging hall and the free space in the residential area, and even beautified the props so as not to affect the city’s appearance.

After finishing all this, she pretended to be a professional resident and placed some colorful spider eggs in the hatching props, which took 18 hours to hatch.

This hatching thing was also quite interesting. The colorful spider will not be born directly in the hatching props but will be born after taking it home and leaving it for two hours.
