Chapter 484 - 484 483. Queens Egg_1

Chapter 484: 483. “Queen’s Egg”_1 Chapter 484: 483. “Queen’s Egg”_1 Once the task was confirmed, Lu Ban needed to prepare an effective method for exterminating the insects.

“Do you know how to kill bugs?”

Lu Ban asked Feng Yu in the living room while cleaning up the dishes and washing them.

“Kill bugs? Why don’t you just use insecticide?”

Feng Yu felt somewhat amused. Even the merman Lu Ban could kill without blinking an eye, so how come he didn’t understand how to deal with bugs?

“I mean those big bugs in the wasteland, the kind that want to breed with humans.”

Lu Ban quickly washed the dishes and answered as he washed his hands.

“Oh, which family’s bug has taken a liking to you?”

Feng Yu laughed.

“I’m not quite sure, it was too rushed before, I didn’t ask for names.”

Lu Ban told the truth.

He saw the coffee table in the living room jolt slightly, as if a cat had pushed off and jumped down from it.

“The bugs of the wasteland, tsk, they are quite difficult to deal with. As long as one of them survives, it will give birth to a new swarm.”

Feng Yu thought for a moment before continuing.

“You need the Heart of the Swarm, right? This thing isn’t a real heart that exists, but a source of pollution. The reason why the civilization of the wasteland was destroyed was probably due to the participation of these swarms.”

“Do you mean the Heart of the Swarm can transfer?”

Lu Ban thought about it, and it seemed to make sense.

He himself had made all the bugs chant “Halloween,” yet in the end, there were still bugs that became the new Queen Bug, which indicated that the Heart of the Swarm was not something physically present inside any particular bug.

“You know that bugs have a shared consciousness, right?”

Feng Yu asked, and when she saw Lu Ban nod, she continued.

“The swarm is actually the manifestation of the will of the Heart of the Swarm. The so-called ‘Heart of the Swarm’ does not refer to the heart of the Queen Bug, but the heart of the entire swarm.”

“That is to say, the wasteland’s swarm itself is a form of life? Then how do I get the Heart of the Swarm?”

Lu Ban pondered for a moment, reasoning that if the swarm were to scatter, at least one would escape, become a new Queen Bug, and produce endless descendants.

He thought about it and considered an idea he had seen before, “Queen’s Egg.”

According to the description of this item, as long as Lu Ban provided some part of his own body, he could hatch a Queen Bug from the insect egg, and then, while the Queen Bug was still young, directly take the Heart of the Swarm…

After thinking it through, Lu Ban decided to abandon this plan.

Perhaps the people of the wasteland had accidentally obtained the “Queen’s Egg” and attempted to use bugs to fight something, which ultimately resulted in the annihilation of not just their enemies but their whole world as well.

Now, it’s too early for this world to breed bugs.

However, after pondering, Lu Ban considered that if the “Queen’s Egg” required human body parts to grow and breed, would it be able to grow using parts of other creatures?

If the swarm’s reproductive capabilities were really that strong, they would most likely fuse with strong creatures of foreign domains to reproduce and evolve into stronger insectoids, and the “Queen’s Egg” would be an embodiment of this.

Thus, Lu Ban thought, if he went to places like Misty City or Dusk City in other domains and used the bodies there to create a swarm, in no time those foreign domains might become like the wasteland.

“Good idea, maybe next time.”

Although Lu Ban didn’t hold any grudges against these foreign domains, having witnessed the severe pollution and the cognitive distortion it caused, he was well aware that so many different domains couldn’t coexist peacefully.

“So to get the Heart of the Swarm, I need to gather all of the swarm together and kill them all, leaving only the last one, and take it away before it starts to reproduce, right?”

Lu Ban surmised.

If he still had something like “Halloween,” it might not be too difficult to control the Queen Bug. The hardest part actually was finding all the bugs.

“…”

At this thought, Lu Ban immediately opened the Silent Department Store and looked for something he had seen before but hadn’t bought.

“Cat Addiction”

“Contamination”

“A cute kitty, seeing it would make one’s heart heal.”

“In some parts of the Wasteland, curses are a tangible existence, and thanks to the Saints, they are bizarre and varied.”

“This kitty can make all who see it abandon all evil thoughts, focusing instead on petting it, pleasing it, until they offer up everything they have.”

“Kitty, hehe, my kitty.”

“Price: 99999 Silence Points”

For just one hundred thousand Silence Points, Lu Ban thought it was quite a bargain to get such a powerful control item.

Moreover, the key thing was that the item itself was from the Wasteland, perfect for dealing with the bugs of the Wasteland, like turning original soup back to its original food, a perfect match.

Upon seeing the item, Lu Ban immediately wanted to buy it.

He paid the Silence Points, and soon, a small kitten appeared in his hand.

The kitten was orange with a few stripes, meowing in a milky voice, and continuously kneading Lu Ban’s palm with its pink little paws.

“Pretty cute.”

Feng Yu glanced at it and commented.

Lu Ban kept staring at the kitten, holding it up as if looking at some treasured object.

Feng Yu felt that something was off, so she avoided looking at the small kitten and instead patted Lu Ban.

“Wake up.”

She shook Lu Ban’s shoulder, but he didn’t move at all and instead hugged the kitten tightly.

“Kitty, hehe, my kitty.”

Lu Ban was grinning foolishly, as if he was about to drool.

“?”

Feng Yu immediately stood up, thinking about how to contain the kitten without touching it.

Just then, Lu Ban suddenly lifted the kitten again and buried his face into its soft, fluffy belly, taking deep breaths like crazy.

“Kitty, let me take a sniff, kitty.”

Lu Ban’s actions apparently caught the kitten off guard as well; it struggled to escape, even using its claws in desperation, kicking wildly with its hind legs, leaving scratch marks on Lu Ban’s skin.

But soon, green grass covered the wounds, rendering the kitten motionless and powerless to resist.

Lu Ban continued to madly sniff the cat, as if he were sipping some kind of nectar.

A moment later, the kitten suddenly stopped struggling and went limp.

At the same time, Lu Ban lifted his face from the kitten’s belly.

“? What was I just doing?”

He looked at the kitten in his hand, not quite understanding his recent behavior.

But quickly, his memory revived, and Lu Ban remembered the kitten’s special ability.

“…So it was temporarily hiding its ability to try and escape from me?”

Lu Ban glanced at Feng Yu.

Feng Yu was looking at Lu Ban with the same disdain she would give to trash.

“People can’t, or at least they shouldn’t.”
