46: Ability competition

However, Ye Tian could clearly feel it at this moment.

The Ten Strong Cockroach in front of him felt less intimate than Blade's Edge.

Or rather, it was just at the stage of admiring its clear features, without the feeling of blood being thicker than water.

Thinking about it, a Gold-level Cockroach had absorbed so much of his bloodline, so the feeling was naturally incomparable to a Strong-Grade Cockroach.

But what made Ye Tian curious was, where exactly was the one-grade difference between Gold-level and Strong-Grade?

Could it be stronger in combat? But for Cockroaches, what kind of combat power do they need?

Even in folk legends or novels, no one would be so bored as to refine a Cockroach into a life-bound gu.

They inherently lacked combat power and were unlikable. Furthermore, Gu Masters generally raised Gu with various poisonous insects. A non-aggressive insect like a Cockroach entering would definitely be instantly killed.

If he hadn't, by some strange twist of fate, had his blood absorbed by them, he would never have thought of using Cockroaches to refine a life-bound gu.

While he was wondering.

Ye Tian saw Blade's Edge also crawl in front of him, tilting its head to glance at the Strong-Grade Cockroach. Its antennae moved slightly, as if conveying some information.

The latter respectfully nodded its antennae, then turned and crawled outside.

Ye Tian also leaned out, only to find the Ten Strong Cockroach stopped on the wall outside the balcony, closer to the adjacent dorm room.

Then, its antennae began to tremble slightly.

"Oh my god! What is this? Why are there so many Cockroaches?"

A moment later, Ye Tian heard an exclamation from the next dorm room.

Then came the sound of slapping and banging.

At the same time, the Ten Strong Cockroach also crawled back towards Ye Tian.

Behind it, large and small Cockroaches slowly began to gather.

Huh, Strong-Grade Cockroaches have this ability?

Ye Tian's eyes sparkled with light.

When he took Blade's Edge to the restaurant before, he only discovered that it could control some ordinary Cockroaches through coercion, and didn't think too deeply about it.

Now it seems that his understanding of his Gu insects' characteristics is still completely inadequate.

With this ability, why would he need that damn insect gathering incense?

Just as he was secretly delighted, a voice came from the adjacent balcony.

"Ye Tian, what's going on? Why are there so many Cockroaches?"

"Who knows? Maybe your balcony hasn't been cleaned for too long, look, they all ran over to my side."

Ye Tian said innocently to the head peeking out from next door.

"Oh oh, sorry, do you have any insect repellent for sale?"

"Yes, 30 a bottle, want one?"

"Quick, get me a bottle, there are Cockroaches everywhere in our room! Also, give me a box of instant noodles, braised beef flavor."

Ye Tian nodded. He turned around and pulled out a large box from under his desk.

It was filled with various daily necessities and instant noodles, almost half a box.

Finding a bottle of insect repellent from it, Ye Tian walked a few steps and delivered it next door.

"Insect repellent 30, instant noodles 5 yuan, total 35."

"Okay, I'll transfer it to you later!"

The transaction quickly concluded.

Returning to the dorm, Ye Tian saw Zhang Liang smiling rather lewdly.

"Alright, Brother Tian, you finally learned to be a profiteer? I remember you usually sold that insect repellent for 20, right? Before, you only made one or two yuan, how did you suddenly get enlightened today?"

"What do you know? I helped him clean out all the Cockroaches in his dorm for free, isn't that worth thirty yuan? Besides, even if there are no Cockroaches to kill after buying the insect repellent, can't he still spray it on mosquitoes and stuff?"

Ye Tian's lips curled into a smile. Without saying more to Zhang Liang, he quickly returned to the balcony.

At this moment, the Cockroaches on the outer wall had disappeared.

Looking down, they were all gathered inside his Fishing Box.

"Well done!" Ye Tian nodded in satisfaction.

No sooner had he spoken than Blade's Edge also crawled up.

Its two front claws rested on the protruding part of the Fishing Box, adopting a condescending posture.

Then, Ye Tian saw its two antennae vibrate rapidly.

In a trance, Ye Tian felt circles of invisible ripples spreading outwards.

Ye Tian could feel that these ripples contained a command of summoning.

A moment later.

Exclamations erupted from the dormitory building where Ye Tian was.

Such a big commotion.

It startled Zhang Liang awake.

He ran to the balcony, poked his head out, and looked around.

Then he saw the surrounding walls.

Dense masses of Cockroaches crawled over from upstairs, downstairs, and all directions.

"Damn it, Brother Tian, what did you do? Did you light the incense again?"

Zhang Liang swallowed.

Even after this period of adjustment, Zhang Liang no longer feared Cockroaches.

But looking at the tide of Cockroaches surging like a flood.

He still couldn't help but feel a little startled.

Ye Tian gave a wry smile.

"I just wanted to see if the insect gathering incense was dry, so I lit a little, who knew it would cause such a big commotion."

Zhang Liang shrugged his neck speechlessly.

"Good thing you lit the insect gathering incense and not the kind you used for experiments before, otherwise our dorm building would be in an uproar today."

No sooner had Zhang Liang finished speaking.

He heard someone shouting loudly from the balcony downstairs.

"Boss Ye, insect repellent, quickly get me a bottle. Damn it, I poked a Cockroach nest today."

"Me, me, me, I need one too, dorm 405, quickly get me a bottle."

"And me, 204, a bottle of insect repellent, plus a box of instant noodles, two hot dogs."

For a time, shouts filled the air upstairs and downstairs.

Ye Tian's phone also dinged with messages, all from old customers in those dorms.

"Hurry up and help, if we're late, we won't be able to sell them!"

Ye Tian jolted, not daring to delay, and pulled Zhang Liang in as a helper.

Ever since he started experimenting with insect gathering incense a few days ago.

The Cockroaches near the dorm had been quite agitated.

So, Ye Tian, to be on the safe side, stocked up on a lot of insect repellent for emergencies.

However, these past few days he was busy with big business, so he didn't have much time to stay in the dorm and manage his small business.

Now that he had a chance to clear inventory, how could he be negligent?

Each carrying several bottles of insect repellent.

Ye Tian and Zhang Liang began delivering them upstairs and downstairs.

In a short while, the stock of more than ten bottles of insect repellent was cleared, and snacks and other items were also sold out.

In the end, when the insect repellent ran out, Ye Tian even directly carried the one bottle left in his own dorm to those dorms that had no stock to sell, pretending to spray it, charging five yuan per dorm, and everyone was happy.

After half an hour of bustling.

Ye Tian returned to the dorm, taking the change and the money received on WeChat from Zhang Liang. He had actually sold several hundred yuan worth.

And the profit actually reached around 200 yuan.

Even Zhang Liang's eyes lit up when he saw this speed of making money.

"Brother Tian, well done. If this rhythm continues every day, it'll be hard not to get rich."

"What are you dreaming about? It's just a one-time deal. I just cleared my inventory today, and I probably won't have much time to sell things in the dorm anymore."

Ye Tian also felt a little regretful, but he was open-minded.

After all, once his horizons broadened, the money he used to struggle to earn now only took one or two housekeeping jobs.
