_1 361: Chapter 342: Color-Changing Insect!

_1 Yangfan Flower and Bird Market, the largest flower, bird, insect, and fish market in Star City, deals in a variety of pets.

It is possible to find rare species from all over the world here.

Since the New Virus has been effectively controlled, the market has recently thawed.

Even the flow of customers in this pet market is gradually recovering.

Upon entering the market, Lv Zhong headed straight for the various aquariums.

However, what dissatisfied Lv Zhong was that most of these aquariums displayed ornamental fish that looked okay but were not of much use.

After visiting more than a dozen aquariums, Lv Zhong did not buy any fish.

However, when passing by an octopus museum, Lv Zhong’s heart stirred, and he stopped.

This octopus museum specializes in octopuses and displays a variety of octopuses.

“Young man, what kind of octopus do you need?

We have many varieties of octopus here.

We have Pacific Giant Octopuses, Dana Octopuses, Pygmy Elephant Octopuses, Tree-shaped Octopuses, Aegir-Eracles Octopuses, and the most poisonous Blue-ringed Octopuses…”

The beautiful hostess of the shop walked out as she saw Lv Zhong come in, and she introduced enthusiastically.

Although the beauty of the hostess was above average, she was an absolutely sexy woman.

She was not very tall, about 1.55 meters, but her skin was incredibly white, delicate and smooth.

Although in Lv Zhong’s eyes, her overall score might only be 6, in the eyes of ordinary people, the plump young woman with a short stature has an astonishing allure.

“Oh, how big are the Pacific Giant Octopuses here?” Lv Zhong glanced at her with a poker face and asked indifferently.

This kind of Pacific Giant Octopus is larger and has a longer life span than any other kind of octopus.

The record is held by a specimen, which is 9.1 meters in circumference and weighs 272 kg.

Usually, this type of octopus only has a body length of more than 5 meters and a weight of 50 kg.

Before coming to Hua Island Market, Lv Zhong had also learned about various pets on the Internet.

And the octopus is exactly what he needs to turn into a demon.

The hostess’s eyes turned on the Audi Q7 car key around Lv Zhong’s waist before she giggled and said: “The largest Pacific Giant Octopus here is still a seedling, but the largest one has a circumference of 1.8 meters and weighs 12.2 kg.

Do you want it?

For you, good looking young man, I’ll give you a discount of 85%…”

“A circumference of 1.8 meters and a weight of 12.2 kg?

It doesn’t seem to be classified as a giant octopus!” Lv Zhong glanced at her again, but without refusing, asked again: “How many Pacific Giant Octopuses like this do you have?”

Hearing Lv Zhong’s question, there was a glimpse of amazing joy in the eyes of the beautiful boss.

“Hehe, here we have four Pacific Giant Octopuses.

The other three are less than 1.2 meters in circumference and weigh within 7.3 kg.

If you buy them all together, it will only cost sixty thousand, how about that?”

Upon hearing this, Lv Zhong couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Very few people are willing to keep Pacific Giant Octopuses.

Lv Zhong believes that if it weren’t for the fact that he happened to need such a giant octopus, the boss’s four octopuses might not have been sold for several months.

“Okay, sixty thousand it is.” Lv Zhong didn’t bother to bargain.

Of course, the main reason was that Lv Zhong’s Spiritual Sense had detected that in the whole Flower and Bird Market, only this shop had such a giant octopus.

Because the intelligence of the Pacific Giant Octopus is very high, they can learn to open cans and imitate other octopuses, passing through the maze successfully in experiments.

Lv Zhong needs to create a demon, and such high-intelligence creatures are the easiest to turn into demons.

The main reason is that this kind of Pacific Giant Octopus, to evolve into a super giant beast, is much easier than other underwater creatures.

“Ah, okay…okay!”

Seeing Lv Zhong didn’t even bargain, the beautiful boss’s, Hui Yuerong, opened her mouth in surprise.

Sixty thousand is not a small sum, and Lv Zhong doesn’t even bargain, which makes her start to guess Lv Zhong’s identity: “This guy is either the rumored rich second generation, or the real power second generation.

I will not be merciful to such a person…”

Lv Zhong suddenly looked at the woman with a smile, saying: “What about the Blue-ringed Octopus?

How much for one?”

The Blue-ringed Octopus is one of the most venomous animals known.

Despite its small size, the venom carried by one Blue-ringed Octopus is enough to kill 26 adults in a few minutes, and there is currently no effective antidote to prevent it.

Furthermore, the toxicity of the Blue-ringed Octopus can be displayed by its own color.

Its skin contains color cells that can change colors at will.

By contracting or stretching, changing the size of different color cells, the Blue-ringed Octopus’s entire appearance will change.

Therefore, when the Blue-ringed Octopus moves in different environments, it can use protective colors similar to the environment.

Therefore, Lv Zhong also had the idea of getting a Blue-ringed Octopus.

If he could turn a Blue-ring Octopus into a demon, and let it grow in the ocean, it would definitely become one of the most frightening existences.

“This Blue-ringed Octopus is not easy to catch, and it’s imported from abroad.

Hm, three hundred thousand for one, how about that?” Hui Yuerong’s eyes swiveled a few times, then said tentatively.

“Three hundred thousand for one?”

Lv Zhong’s gaze fell on Hui Yuerong, then he chuckled, nodded, “No problem!

Give me two.

Also, pack them in water tanks and have your staff help me move them to my car.

This is not too much to ask, is it?”

“Okay!” Hui Yuerong agreed with a nod, but she regretted it in her heart.

If she knew Lv Zhong was so generous, she would have asked for five hundred thousand per octopus.

When the four Pacific Octopuses and two Blue-ringed Octopuses had been well-placed in the finest aquariums by the workers at Cui Yuerong’s shop, Lv Zhong looked at them contentedly and then turned to Yuerong, “I don’t have cash.

Can I transfer the money?”

“Sure!” Cui Yuerong promptly gave him her bank account number.

Once the payment was transferred, Lv Zhong prepared to head home with the recently bought octopuses.

However, as he was passing by a non-mainstream insect shop, his gaze fell upon a peculiar insect that resembled a miniature mantis.

“A Chameleon Mantis?” Lv Zhong was slightly surprised and delighted.

Having inherited knowledge from Plague God Lv Yue, he had a strong understanding of many insects.

This chameleon-like insect could change its color just like the legendary chameleon, perfectly blending itself with the surroundings.

Although this ability would be of limited use to a cultivator, it was not to be underestimated.

If used properly, it could still produce remarkable effects.

However, what Lv Zhong really valued was not the color-changing ability of the Chameleon Mantis, but its facility to seamlessly blend in with its surroundings.

With this capability, not only could one enhance their assassination skills, but also deepen their understanding of the surrounding nature.

“Coming across a Chameleon Mantis here is indeed a pleasant surprise!”

Lv Zhong expressed his delight and hurriedly turned to the three workers following him, “Gentlemen, could you wait a moment?

I need to buy something.

It won’t take much time…” After saying that, Lv Zhong took out three red banknotes from his wallet, handed them to one of the workers, and said, “Take this as a token of appreciation for your hard work…”

Lv Zhong held these working-class folks in high regard for they led tough lives.

Inviting them to work for him, he was rather generous.

As for his goods, he didn’t worry about them being lost at all.

The leading worker, a man in his forties, awkwardly shook his head, “Young boss, helping customers with their purchases is our job.

So, we can’t take your money.

Go ahead and buy what you need, we’ll wait for you at the entrance.”

The other two workers, although their eyes gleamed at the sight of the two red notes in Lv Zhong’s hand, acknowledged the head worker’s words and chimed in, “Right, we can’t take this money!”

“Hehe, don’t be shy!

You may as well think of me as someone buying happiness with money!

If I’m asking you to do something, I wouldn’t be stingy,” Lv Zhong flashed a big smile, placed the money in the hands of the leading worker, and entered the insect shop that possessed the Chameleon Mantis without looking back.

The insect shop was run by a man in his twenties.

It housed all sorts of insects, including tarantulas, house geckos, crickets, mantises, and so on.

The Chameleon Mantis was hiding in the midst of a group of mantises!

It looked like the shopkeeper thought of the Chameleon Mantis as just another type of mantis!

Lv Zhong didn’t have to spend much time or money, for just 20 Yuan, he bought 10 different types of mantises.

The mantis-like Chameleon Mantis was also easily bought by Lv Zhong.

**************************

Upon returning to his apartment, Lv Zhong entered the Plague God Pearl immediately.

First, Lv Zhong refined the few octopuses.

Because he had recently emptied the treasure house of Shu Mountain and had incessantly reaped spoils of war from many advanced cultivators, Lv Zhong was no longer in need of Spirit Stones.

Therefore, after refining the six octopuses into his slaves, Lv Zhong sealed three top-grade Spirit Stones within each of them.

As long as they keep cultivating the Gluttonous Heaven and Earth Technique, the stones would be gradually absorbed by them.

After refining the six octopuses, Lv Zhong let them cultivate on their own inside the space of the Plague God Pearl for a period of time.

Lv Zhong believed that with the time acceleration inside the Plague God Pearl, these octopuses would grow exponentially stronger in no time!

In a month or two, he planned to release these six octopuses into the sea, allowing them to move freely through the oceans and join the three sea demons he had enslaved earlier, all in the effort to collect resources for his own cultivation from the sea.

However, what Lv Zhong hadn’t expected was that as he was busy nurturing and refining sea demons inside the Plague God Pearl’s space, the three original demons Sha Ba, Ao Dian, and E Kui which he had transformed into demons using his mystical power were causing havoc in the real world.

The entire world was going crazy because of their appearance!

PS: (The above has exceeded 3000 words, the following is not counted for word count)

The baby has undergone several checks at the hospital and has a severe inflammation.

Tonsil inflammation has subsided a bit, but the cough is very serious.

She’s been unable to sleep at night due to the cough for the past two days and has been seeking security with me and her mother.

For the past couple of days, I have not been able to sleep more than 2 hours each night.

It is truly exhausting.

I only now realize how hard it is to raise a child without the help of the elderly at home.

I lost my father, but my mother has been very good to me.

However, my grandmother, suffering from severe Alzheimer’s disease, requires my mother’s care.

To make matters worse, my mother burnt her arm with oil a few days ago.

Right now, the whole family is in turmoil.

Initially, I didn’t plan on updating for a few days, but the financial burden of supporting a family of five is pressuring.

Therefore, Lv Zhong must persist.

In the next few days, my updates will slow down a bit and reduce in number.

So, bear with me.

Because of the burden of the family, I will definitely not abandon my other book “Ultimate Evolution”.

This I promise.

Give me some time and I’ll resume the normal updates!
