48: The best strategy is to focus on developing your strength cautiously!

If he continued to execute this, the extent to which he could eventually grow was simply unimaginable.

But one thing was certain: backed by the billions of people in modern society, his achievements could definitely become the greatest in the history of Gu Masters.

And it would be the kind that gained both fame and fortune.

The more he thought about it, the more his blood boiled.

At this moment, Ye Tian wished he could give himself another cut to celebrate.

However, this could only be a thought.

Because although he had recovered quickly just now, the cut was deep, and he had still lost quite a bit of blood.

It should be enough for the Cockroaches in the box to evolve.

Just as Ye Tian had thought, the battle in the fish tank had almost reached the final stage.

There were only four Cockroaches left in the entire box now.

Three of them had one gold line.

The other one had three gold lines.

Ye Tian looked around; the earliest Ten Strong Cockroach was gone.

Was this... like the Blade from before, taking the opportunity to sneak in, bully the weak, and evolve into a Thirty Strong?

Ye Tian smiled slightly. He didn't think there was any problem; it was a good thing that the Gu insects knew how to merge and evolve, as it saved him a lot of trouble.

But for now, there was no rush.

Thinking this, Ye Tian had a thought.

The four Ten Strong Cockroaches that were preparing for a life-and-death struggle stopped their movements.

"Just stay here properly; it won't be too late to fight after finishing the work tomorrow."

After speaking, Ye Tian stopped paying attention to the Cockroaches and returned to the dormitory to sit on the bed.

He stared in the direction of Zhang Liang, his eyes shifting slightly.

"Brother Tian, what are you doing? Let me say this first, I don't do gay stuff!"

Zhang Liang felt a bit uncomfortable being stared at by Ye Tian and spoke up.

"Liang Zi, do you dare to self-harm?"

"Self-harm? Brother Tian, do you want to listen to what you're saying? I'm perfectly fine and not heartbroken, why the hell would I self-harm!"

"Heartbreak leads to self-harm?"

Ye Tian became interested.

"Yes, yes, yes. Brother Tian, as long as you arrange for a beautiful woman for me to fall in love with, and then let her play with me and dump me, I'll self-harm for you to see."

Zhang Liang smiled lewdly and raised his eyebrows at Ye Tian.

"I'm talking to you seriously!"

Ye Tian rolled his eyes at him.

"A serious person wouldn't ask such a question..."

Zhang Liang twitched his mouth and said.

Ye Tian laughed, shook his head, and felt that he might have truly become obsessed.

He was thinking about raising Gu all the time.

Because after carefully analyzing his previous speculation, Ye Tian discovered that he had overlooked one thing.

That was whether his thinking was a bit too idealized.

For so many years from ancient times to the present, with so many people, the fact that "the true teachings of witchcraft and gu art" could be passed down meant that this probably wasn't some big secret.

Could it be that no one had ever used Cockroaches to refine Gu?

Just like that day, if he hadn't used his own blood to plug the hole, but instead used someone else's blood, what would have happened?

As soon as he thought of this question, Ye Tian felt a bit uneasy.

He always felt that there might be some key things in this that he didn't know yet.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt, and Ye Tian couldn't sit still.

He picked up the fish tank, put in some of the Cockroach bait he had bought earlier, put on his jacket, and went out.

Knowing that Ye Tian also had work at night, Zhang Liang didn't follow him out.

Riding his electric scooter, Ye Tian arrived at Changle Restaurant in no time.

It was already past nine o'clock in the evening. This was the busiest time for the Changle Restaurant food stall.

It was packed from the inside out.

Several newly hired waiters were busy working, and even Wang Shufen hadn't gone back yet.

"Sister, you two don't need to rest?"

Ye Tian put down his things, stepped forward, and smiled.

"What rest? My feet haven't touched the ground all day today. Instead, you were up all night yesterday, why are you running over here today instead of taking a good rest?"

"I was just worried that you guys couldn't handle it. Anyway, I couldn't sleep, so I came over to take a look."

On this point, Ye Tian really wasn't lying.

After eating, he was indeed a bit tired, but after synthesizing the Money Gu, this feeling completely disappeared. Moreover, as the night deepened, he became more and more energetic.

"It's good to be young, unlike your sister, I feel like I'm about to fall apart from exhaustion today. But it's just today; after these newly hired waiters get familiar with the shop, I won't be so tired. When the wall next door is knocked through tomorrow, the place will be more spacious, and it will be much more convenient to move around."

"Is the place next door settled?"

"Yes, after paying and signing the contract in the evening, Second Wu's family moved out. Now we have hired a renovation team to work overtime to open up two shop doors from the kitchen direction. Once the door frames are installed, they can be used directly. It's just that in terms of hygiene, it might be a bit too late."

"What's too late? Didn't I just arrive!"

Ye Tian chuckled, showing none of the resistance that ordinary people usually have when asked to work; instead, he was somewhat excited.

Because since clearing up his thoughts, he had many experiments that needed to be done.

"Are you sure you have the energy to stay up another night?"

Wang Shufen said with some concern.

"Sister, don't worry, with my body, let alone two days, I could go a week without sleeping."

"Then you handle it yourself. By the way, how is the Housekeeping Company going? Have you bought all the things?"

"Almost. I bought two Yadi tricycles, which cost 11,000, and an electric scooter for 3,000. Also, work uniforms, cleaning supplies, and such cost 2,000. Additionally, I transferred a storefront for 50,000..."

While working, Wang Shufen listened with a smile as Ye Tian reported his accounts. Initially, she was quite satisfied. Her stinky younger brother had listened to her advice and didn't buy second-hand goods to save money. But when she heard the end, her brows furrowed slightly.

"A 50,000 storefront? How much deposit did you pay? A place at this price probably isn't very good, right? Didn't I tell you not to be afraid of spending money? If the money isn't enough, I'll just give you more. You don't know how big a reaction was caused after our inspection footage was broadcast on TV today. Director Zhao even called personally to tell us to be careful these next two days, as there might be TV stations coming to interview us, so the matter of the storefront cannot be sloppy."

Ye Tian smiled: "No deposit paid, bought it in full!"

"In full? Since when did you learn to brag? I only gave you 50,000 in total, and you bought so many things; how could you pay in full?"

Wang Shufen scolded him with a smile.

"Sister, I'm not lying. And don't worry, the storefront was just renovated and used to be a housekeeping business too. I estimate that just the rent, renovation, and the things inside add up to at least 80,000. I definitely couldn't let a storefront like this go when I could get it for 50,000!"

Speaking of this, Ye Tian was really quite proud. If he counted the actual value of the storefront, he hadn't just earned 40,000 today.

"Alright, alright, my younger brother is awesome, okay? Later when I'm not busy, take your sister to see that shop. If it's really as good as you say, we'll pay the money tomorrow. Now, if you have nothing to do, you can go take a look next door. I heard from your Brother Li earlier that when they were taking things apart, they stirred up a lot of Cockroaches, and I'm afraid that when they tear down the wall later, they will crawl over to our side through the hole."

"No problem, I came here just for those Cockroaches!"

Ye Tian chuckled and walked towards the next door.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Ming gesturing something with a few renovation workers.

Seeing Ye Tian come in, his face immediately lit up with joy.

"Xiao Tian, you came just at the right time. Aren't you able to catch Cockroaches? Hurry up and catch them. The workers just poked a Cockroach nest while taking apart this wooden door frame, and we were so scared that we didn't dare to continue chiseling the wall."

"Okay!"

Ye Tian glanced at the few renovation workers. He brought the fish tank in from outside, conveniently took out a bottle of the Cockroach bait he had bought earlier, and pretended to squeeze a little into a bottle cap before putting it into the fish tank.

Originally, a job like this could be easily handled by either the Ten Strong Cockroach or the Blade without needing to hide anything.

However, that previous speculation made Ye Tian feel a bit of caution in his heart.

It was very likely that some small, inconspicuous details he thought were minor would look completely different in the eyes of those with ulterior motives.

Therefore, showing his insect control technique in front of Li Ming and the others during the day was really ill-considered. Because up until now, Ye Tian still didn't understand many things about the world of Gu Art.

For example, the infighting between Gu Masters, or whether the law of the jungle existed in the world of Gu Art.

Before these questions were resolved, it was better to keep his secrets well hidden.

Playing it safe and developing is the true path!
