Chapter 6 Recruiting and Buying Scorpions
The flames of the furnace kept burning, but this time it was not the ore that burned, but the worms.
This is a bug that lives underground for a long time and feeds on minerals, similar to cicada chrysalis in previous lives. The excipients are a kind of vanilla, which grows in a half-yin and half-yang place for a long time, so that its juice has a very mild conditioning effect.
Next to the furnace, 20 "high-temperature roasted worms" have been neatly placed.
"Boss, why are we getting so many bugs? After making so many "high-temperature roasted insects", we can't eat them, so it's not good if they go bad. ”
The little scorpion said distressedly, it likes to eat "high-temperature roasted worms".
"Don't worry, this thing is very useful, it's almost meal time, let's go to the scorpion mother to get the energy milk cube." By the way, take some with you. ”
"Boss, do you want to give it to Mother Scorpion?"
The little scorpion said strangely, but it can't, this amount is too small, not enough for the scorpion mother to eat.
"Mother Scorpion's mouth is so big, I don't want to fall into it."
As a Tier 7 mutant scorpion, the Scorpion Mother is very large. Not only the size, but also the big mouth of blood.
"Oh, I don't know when Mother Scorpion will break free."
The little scorpion muttered secretly.
"Let's go, we don't have enough capacity at the moment, let's find a way if we have a chance."
Zhen Meili still has a good impression of this cheap mother, after all, she has to use her own energy to feed these 250 little scorpions every day.
In the middle of the dungeon, the mother scorpion is still trapped in chains. But it didn't have the strength to wrestle with the chains.
At this time, several scorpions that were close to the second-order mutant scorpion had already left with their energy milk blocks. I believe that soon they will be able to break through.
"These hateful guys must have robbed a lot of scorpion brothers and sisters from their energy breasts, otherwise how would they grow so big."
The little scorpion was very angry, and he wanted to rush forward to take revenge.
"Don't be impulsive, this is the law of nature, natural selection, it is impossible for all of our 250 scorpions to survive, so only the strong are qualified to live, and only have the strength to face the dangerous nature."
Zhen Meili admonished the little scorpion, but she just didn't want to cause trouble, and these predators also played a very important role to her.
"Oh!"
Looking at the boss's mighty figure and profound words, the little scorpion was full of admiration, anyway, what the boss said was right.
Sure enough, the scorpions began their daily operations after eating their own energy milk cubes.
Weak scorpions that don't have time to eat energy milk cubes become their targets. They are twice the size of ordinary scorpions, and with the gang committing crimes, the robbed little scorpions can only hand over their energy milk blocks to each other.
"Boss, they're so hateful, I want to beat them up."
The little scorpion can't stand it, because he was also one of the scorpions that were plundered. Seeing these scorpions snatching other people's energy breasts again, I was furious and wanted to help them.
However, he didn't go up to help, although it was already a second-order mutant scorpion at this time, but the boss didn't speak, he could only talk about it.
A few little scorpions surrounded Zhen Meili and the two of them, it seemed that they were not developing well, just like the little scorpion that Zhen Meili picked up at the beginning, they were very thin.
However, they are not as smart as the scorpions, they just point at the energy breasts, then at themselves, and then wave them wildly with their scorpion pincers, indicating that they want to rob.
"Boss, they seem to be asking us to hand over the food!"
The little scorpion quickly understood what they meant, and sought the boss's idea, it was a little confused, because these scorpions in front of him were not others, but those weak scorpions who were robbed of energy milk blocks, they huddled together to keep warm, and wanted to take advantage of the crowd to grab some food from the lone scorpion.
The looters created new looters.
"Scorpion, do you see? Violence only creates more violence, and even if you help them once, you won't change anything, that's the law of nature. ”
"Boss, what are we going to do? Chase them away? ”
"You drove away these robbed scorpions, they still steal other people's food, they just want to live."
"So what are we going to do?"
Even though the little scorpion, who has a higher intelligence than Zhen Meili, fell into deep thought, if he took action to get rid of these scorpions, it would only accelerate their destruction, but if he didn't drive them away, he would turn them into new looters.
Seeing the little scorpion thinking, Zhen Meili was very happy, all of this was deliberate by him, because after the little scorpion was upgraded to the second level, he obtained a skill that Zhen Meili was very envious of - "wisdom", which can increase the success rate of the strategy by 1%, and with the improvement of intelligence, the success rate will continue to increase, and the best way to improve is to let it keep thinking.
"Boss, I can't figure out why I'm in a dilemma, it's not the right thing to do."
Zhen Meili didn't blame it, after all, he was just starting out now, how could he know everything.
"Don't limit yourself to the solution, find out the main reason for their robbery, that is, they don't have food, as long as they have something to eat, they can solve this crisis very well, and the root cause can be cured."
Awakened by a word, the little scorpion suddenly understood why the boss wanted to make so much food and why he didn't let himself help them.
"Boss, you're so good, as long as they have food, they won't rob it, and you can help them do the work for us, so that they won't hurt them or turn them into demons who steal things!"
The little scorpion's eyes were full of golden light, waving its small pincers, spinning in circles, it was too excited, its own boss was too smart, and it wanted to become a scorpion like the boss.
"Scorpion, now that you've figured it out, let's start our next plan! We started recruiting troops, oh no, it should be recruiting scorpions, and this task will be handed over to you, my future military advisor! ”
"Yes, Boss! Sure to complete the mission! ”
Zhen Meili took out the baked food, which was part of the salary advance, first gave them a lollipop, and then painted a flatbread. She will have a steady stream of scorpion soldiers and scorpion generals, and she has already seen her villa beckoning to her.
The little scorpion quickly relied on his super high wisdom to explain his intention to the robbing scorpions with these various actions. Anyway, Zhen Meili couldn't understand it, but the miraculous thing was that the scorpions who came to rob actually understood.
The little scorpion brought them to Zhen Meili, a total of 12 scorpions, each of whom gave them a "high-temperature roasted worm", and arranged for them to work, making a promise that they would not be able to eat or live.
After the little scorpion's explanation, those scorpions with low IQ suddenly became excited and expressed their gratitude to Zhen Meili. Then he gobbled up his own food.
"Little Scorpion, how is the layout of the place I asked you to plan before, bring them over, and then teach them simple work, and pick a few more to help catch insects and collect herbs, our big villa is just around the corner!"
"The boss is mighty! I'll do it right away! ”
The first batch of free labor was successfully recruited!
