Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On Earth, in the Western world, there was once such an interesting story. It happened in a biological museum. Once the museum was doing a general cleaning of the interior, a staff member accidentally dropped a few drops of small drops while wiping off the dust on the ceiling.  The soda solution was applied to the insect specimen in the museum. After a few minutes, the insect specimen, which had been mummified and displayed for at least three years, came to life after absorbing these few drops of the baking soda solution.  This may just be a piece of fake news that spreads rumors, but insects are indeed at the top of all living things on the earth (microorganisms that are more BT are not included in this list) due to their strong vitality and great tolerance to various extreme environments.  So, even though no one has done any research in this world, there is probably no difference.  The runes have not decreased because of Alvin's continuous reading, but because new runes are constantly being fed back, showing an ever-increasing driving force.  "There are only a few alive here, there are clearly hundreds of them!" Ivan complained endlessly.  But when Alvin thought of the thousands of insect eggs placed on the stall, he immediately felt that Emma was not lying. Among the thousands of insect eggs, only a few hundred still retained a trace of activity.  It's true to describe it as dead eggs - at least most creatures don't have Ivan's ability. If they come here to pick up bugs, they can only try their luck and find a few hundred eggs from thousands to thousands.  How could they get away with a dying insect egg with a probability of one in ten?  After hastily reading the information in dozens of runes, Aiwen stopped. He raised one and a half gold coins in his hand, and said helplessly to Emma, ??who had an expression of disapproval: "Thank you for your advice, but,  I still want to buy some and go back to try, maybe I will catch one hatched by Universiade, and - after shopping for so long, I found that there seems to be no other cheap things to buy here! " "Ah -!  "Emma opened her mouth, but didn't say anything else.  ??To buy things here, you not only need to have good taste and luck, but most importantly, you also need money.  To be honest, with the little money Ivan has now, if he can buy more to try his luck, the piles in front of him have been rumored to be dead insect eggs. One and a half gold coins, I dare not say hundreds.  Twenty or thirty items are still possible. If he buys other things, at most two items will spend all the money he has - I don't know if they are garbage.  But you don¡¯t have to buy it. Wouldn¡¯t it be nice to just take a look here?  Emma followed Alvin towards the three stalls. As she walked, she thought that if she didn't spend it, after going out, Alvin might use the money to buy some small gifts for her, or treat her to a meal another day.  It¡¯s a pause or something, but now that I¡¯m spending it on such inexplicable things Oh, it¡¯s really distressing to think about it!  Walking to the three stalls, Ivan seemed to look at it casually, compared it, and finally stopped at the middle stall, squatted down, and picked up an unhatched egg that looked like an insect statue.  Look at it carefully.  Anyone who has poked a nest or raised ants knows that these insects that live in groups seem to be specially hatched outside the body. They start from an oval egg-shaped embryo at birth, slowly grow limbs, and then separate the trunk.  , when their appearance finally grows like those of free-living adults, their jade-like skin begins to deepen and harden. When it becomes as black, shiny and strong as the outer carapace of normal adults, that is when they have truly hatched successfully.  It's time.  The insect sculpture-like thing in Ivan's hand is darker than the others and feels very hard, just like metal with a more ordinary material. It is obviously at the stage where the epidermis is beginning to deepen and harden, except  The color is wrong, and all other parts should be the same as the adult form of this insect.  On its flat head is a terrifying giant jaw that takes up one-third of its body. Its chest is slightly smaller, and its six slender feet are tightly packed into its large abdomen, but the hooked tips of its toes are clearly visible.  , at the carapace joints, countless sharp barbs arranged like gears have begun to appear.  This is just a completely dead insect egg. It is useless except to show the appearance of this race as an adult. So Ivan looked at it for a while and actually imagined the horror of this insect's army sweeping across all directions when it was alive.  He clicked his tongue and put it back on the stall.  "Are you the stall owner here? How are you going to sell these insect eggs?" Ivan stood up and asked with a hesitant look on his face.  "You want to buy? Well" The skinny adventurer sitting behind the stall hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether the two little devils in front of him were here to cause trouble, or whether they really wanted to buy something, but in the end he  Still replied: "Two silver coins and three, you can buy as many as you want."Turning his head and looking at Emma, ??Emma nodded, indicating that the price was not expensive.  Also, colleagues are enemies. Not to mention that there are two guys selling the same goods next to them who are eyeing each other. Let¡¯s just say that the little devil is a famous poor guy - the price is too expensive, and he might give up this hard-earned customer.  Scared away.  "Are the prices of the things here the same no matter what they look like?" Ivan's eyes flashed and he pointed at the pile of insect eggs on the stall and asked.  "Of coursewell, those sculpture-like insect eggs are a little more expensive. Forget it, they are all the same" Seeing Ai Wen trying to leave, the stall owner who wanted to make a small fortune quickly changed his mind.  "Forget it, seeing how heartbroken you are, I don't want those insect eggs that look like sculptures. I'll just choose the ones that haven't developed yet. But you have to lower the price for me. One silver coin and two insect eggs. How about that?  ?" After some exploration, Aiwen heard a message from the stall owners' words. Here, these stall owners seemed to think that the eggs that were about to develop into adults were more valuable than the oval-shaped eggs that had not yet begun to develop.  .  What's the use of looking so powerful on the outside? Don't they know that embryonic development consumes energy? In other words, those that have not yet begun to develop contain the most energy internally and are most likely to survive.  Falling eggs.  "Two silver coins for one, this" The stall owner struggled for a while, and finally shook his head and said: "No, this price is too cheap, I will suffer a loss, why don't you tell me how much money you brought?  "Let me see how many eggs I can give you cheaply." "Well, I only have fifteen silver coins with me now. How many can you sell to me?" Aiwen was also a bachelor, so he immediately bought that one.  Half of the gold coins were taken out.  One and a half gold coins is not a lot of money. Although it is a little surprising to appear on the body of a little devil, it will not attract too many prying eyes.  "Fifteen silver coins, then I'll sell you twenty-five eggs, but as you said, you can only choose these oval-shaped eggs. What do you think?" The stall owner looked at Ai.  The one and a half gold coins in Wen's hand couldn't help but feel a little excited. If the deal was really done, it wouldn't be too small. At least he would have enough money for today's meal, so he took a step back.  "Okay!" Ai Wen nodded immediately after hearing this.
