Chapter 17: Mutation of Bees
Fire King Cao Xin: Chen Zhen stays on the front line, so we can meet each other in the future. Don't do anything too extreme.
Fire King Cao Xin: Besides, we are both human beings. Wouldn't your conscience feel bad if you just watched me die?
Chen Zhen: That's why I sold your windows. There are many other people who need windows. I give them to save lives. If you are a weasel, don't talk about your conscience with me.
Chen Zhen: Now it is 11 catties of pork ribs plus news.
...
The private message fell silent, and Chen Chen ignored it. His current production capacity of the temperature control window is limited, Zai Cao Xin is just doing it conveniently, if Cao Xin disagrees, then he doesn't care.
But not long after, Cao Xin's transaction request and private message were sent together.
[Private message from Fire King Cao Xin]
...
Fire King Cao Xin: Chen Zhen, I have sent you the transaction, and we will start the transaction after you agree.
Chen Zhen: You have to give me the information about the crazy animals first.
After a long pause, Cao Xin finally replied.
Fire King Cao Xin: Good, good! I can give you information first, and I hope you keep your word!
Fire King Cao Xin: I found this goat six kilometers away from the shelter today. Because I didn’t have tools, it was impossible to kill it, so I didn’t pay attention to the goat at first. But when it found me, it immediately ran towards me like a madman. I was very happy at first and wanted to subdue it and kill it. But I don’t know whether it’s because the goat went crazy or its strength has been enhanced. Anyway, the goat’s attack is terrible. I was caught off guard and stabbed in the thigh by it. While fleeing, he set fire to it, and finally killed him.
Fire King Cao Xin: The most remarkable thing about that goat is that its eyes are light red, not bloodshot, but the white eyeballs have turned red.
Cao Xin's information was fairly comprehensive, and Chen Chen immediately agreed to the transaction, and traded a newly completed temperature adjustment window to Cao Xin.
After the transaction, Chen Chen murmured: "It should be the radiation from the abnormal world that drove these animals crazy. Not only did they become irritable and aggressive, but their strength also increased."
"At present, it seems that these crazy animals prefer to attack us players. Maybe there is something attracting them. Of course, there is too little information at present, and this inference cannot be confirmed yet."
Then Chen Chen began to exercise, push-ups, squats, leg raises... Chen Chen started with these simple items that did not require equipment.
Chen Chen felt that the effectiveness of the super apple hadn't been fully utilized, and doing exercises should improve it, and exercising could also be a good way to deal with future field adventures and increase his chances of surviving.
"As far as the current equipment is concerned, I don't plan to hunt wild animals. It's too dangerous. Exercise is more about giving myself a chance to escape and less chance of getting sick."
"Without modern medical treatment, it is very likely that a person will have a fever, not get medical treatment, his condition will continue to deteriorate, and eventually he will die. The most important thing in such a wilderness survival is not how much supplies are obtained, but to exclude all possible fatal situations."
"For the vast majority of players, food is still the most scarce thing. But for me, I need all kinds of medicines now."
After exercising, Chen Chen ate all the meat roasted for the second time. He contacted a person who knew how to deal with fur on the regional channel, and gave him half a catty of leopard, and that person gave him detailed instructions on how to deal with fur.
There are three major steps in fur treatment. First, soak to soften it, then spread out the fur and fix it, remove fat residues and other unnecessary components, and finally degrease and wash with water. After three steps, the fur will be soft and usable.
The last step was the most difficult and the most critical, and Chen Chen was not sure, so he gave the man half a catty and asked him to help him handle it. Chen Chen only needed to harvest the finished product when the time came.
"It would be great if there was a blueprint for fur treatment, so it can be done in a few hours, and it is the same as what a professional can do in a few days."
The production steps of the blueprint are clear, and you can make some changes and stop it yourself, but the final effect is incomparably miraculous, and Chen Chen can only attribute it to the rules of the abnormal world.
When the work was over, Chen Chen continued to make temperature-adjusting windows, and didn't stop until half past eleven in the evening before going to sleep.
...
Chen Chen sat up from the haystack, stretched his waist, and saw that it was already seven o'clock in the morning, and he slept a little longer than usual.
After a simple wash, he set up a fire to roast the meat, and Chen Chen checked the bees as usual.
Most of the bees have gone out to collect honey, a few bees deal with the internal affairs of the hive, and the queen bee is constantly laying eggs.
With the queen bee as a powerful production tool bee, the bees lost yesterday were just drizzle. On the contrary, the number of bees in the beehive is now close to 50,000, and Chen Chen has to prepare a new beehive for him to divide the bees.
When Chen Chen checked, he suddenly discovered that there was an unusual honeycomb among the honey produced yesterday.
The honey in that place was even more golden, and the system immediately popped up a message after being noticed by the [Scavenger Kid] profession.
【Super Power Honey: It has a taste and function similar to ordinary honey, and taking it can slightly enhance the power attribute. 】
"Huh? How did superpower honey appear? Could it be produced by the ten bees that ate the superpower apple yesterday?"
Chen Chen was a little surprised, but at the moment he wanted to know why superpower honey was produced.
Fortunately, bees are a species with an extremely fine division of labor. Chen Chen used his career as a beekeeper to reverse engineer the little bee that produced this honey, and he found it in a short while.
Bees secrete various pheromones, and Chen Chen quickly found the bee according to the remaining pheromones.
This is an 18-day-old bee, which is a bee that has just grown up.
In order to determine whether the super honey was produced by its secretion, Chen Chen immediately started an experiment.
"This bee is not the bee that ate the super energy apple yesterday, so there are only two possibilities, either it collected pollen containing super energy yesterday, or the pollen nectar was secreted by its glands to produce super energy!"
Chen Chen stopped a few bees that came back from collecting honey, and after confirming that the pollen had no super power, he ordered the bee that produced super honey to make it on the spot.
Chen Chen very much hoped that the super honey was produced by the bees themselves. If so, he would probably have stable super honey in the future.
The bee started to work diligently after receiving Chen Chen's order, and Chen Chen also observed it carefully.
This mutated bee was a bit larger than normal bees, and Chen Chen felt that its intelligence seemed to be higher.
"Could it be bees that mutated after being irradiated by the abnormal world? They are so small, but they run outside all day." Chen Chen was not idle, and built a new beehive beside him.
Regardless of the bees, the population of the beehives is now extremely large, and they must be divided into bees.
Without blueprints, even if Chen Chen has the corresponding technology and tools, the production time of beehives will be much longer than wooden products with blueprints.
Halfway through the production, the bee finally produced enough honey, and Chen Chen hurriedly checked.
