38: Testing the effective killing distance of embroidery needles

“The lowest grade of bee pupae, regardless of species, and based on the uniformity of their size, are worth between 60 and 100 yuan per jin.”

Wu Xianliang stated the market price he had learned.

“Alright, I think I understand now!”

Liu Qianqian pondered for a moment, then tapped on the table and said, “Everything that needed to be said at today’s meeting has been said. All the new dish proposals have been approved and passed, and now we just await the taste test!”

“So, today’s meeting concludes here. Everyone, please go and prepare, especially the kitchen staff. Please make the new dishes quickly so we can conduct the taste test later.”

“Understood, Boss!”

Everyone stood up and left one by one.

Liu Qianqian then took out her phone and carefully researched the species and value of honeycomb and bee pupae.

To her surprise, she discovered that the beehive Su Can had dug out was actually the nest of the famous Golden Ringed Hornet!

“A Golden Ringed Hornet, this is a killer bee! Oh my goodness!”

Liu Qianqian was shocked, and after reading a series of terrifying rumors about the Golden Ringed Hornet, she was even more astounded.

“Su Can really brings me too many surprises. Precisely because the Golden Ringed Hornet is so infamous, its pupae are one of the rarest and most valuable on the market. Even the lowest-grade, artificially farmed Grade 4 pupae don't sell for less than a hundred yuan per jin.”

“And these are pure wild pupae from the mountains, just unearthed. This gimmick is more than enough!”

Liu Qianqian quickly called Su Can.

As soon as the call connected, Liu Qianqian went straight to the point: “Su Can, are you in the mountains right now?”

“Yes!”

Su Can had a calm and composed smile on his face: “I’m about to dig out the beehive. Do you want me to save it for you?”

“Save it! You must save it for me!”

Liu Qianqian said, “How about this, I’ll buy the bee pupae and honeycomb from you for five hundred yuan per jin. What do you think?”

“Okay!”

Su Can was also very straightforward. During the time he had just spent, he had also roughly understood the market price of honeycomb and bee pupae.

A price of five hundred per jin, including both pupae and honeycomb, was quite reasonable.

The beehive he had just found had six layers, was as big as a washbasin, and was mostly filled with Grade 1 pupae, so it was quite heavy.

Roughly estimated, the entire beehive was probably no less than thirty jin!

With that, Su Can hung up the phone and went to retrieve the beehive.

Indeed, when the beehive was taken out, it felt heavy in his hands, definitely exceeding thirty jin!

Su Can scanned it with his divine sense, found the queen bee in the nest, used a branch to poke it out, and then put it into a bag.

At the same time.

Liu Qianqian saved the photos Su Can had sent, then posted them on her Moments with the caption:

“Newly launched! Just unearthed Golden Ringed Hornet beehive, full of Grade 1 bee pupae, pure wild mountain produce, first come, first served!”

As soon as this Moments post went out, familiar customers immediately commented below, full of curiosity.

The boss who had called earlier even called again, explicitly stating he wanted to be among the first to try it.

Liu Qianqian readily agreed, her face beaming with pride!

“It seems cooperating with this Su Can was indeed a very wise and correct choice!”

Liu Qianqian held her phone, her eyes filled with a smile.

…

On the other side.

After packing the beehive, Su Can continued deeper into the mountains.

Not long after, he was pleasantly surprised to discover another large beehive appearing in his spiritual sense.

Without any hesitation, Su Can stepped forward and started digging vigorously.

The hornets inside the beehive were disturbed and immediately buzzed and flew up, attempting to attack.

But this time, Su Can was prepared. His mental power vibrated slightly, with much less force than before.

Instantly, those hornets swayed drunkenly, losing their ability to attack.

“Good, good, I controlled the force well this time. At least I didn’t kill them!”

Su Can showed a satisfied expression, quickly took the opportunity to retrieve the beehive, remove the queen bee, and pack it up.

“I wonder what kind of changes would occur if I enlightened the queen bee?”

For some reason, this thought suddenly popped into Su Can’s mind.

However, he currently had no stored essence of the sun in his body, so this idea remained a thought for now and was not put into practice.

“Dahuang, stop hiding, look at how scared you are!”

Su Can put away the second beehive and scold Dahuang, who was still hiding in the grass and refused to show his head, in an exasperated tone.

“Get out here and help me chase some pheasants and rabbits. I need them.”

“Woof woof!”

Dahuang reluctantly emerged, looking left and right.

Once he was sure he couldn't see any hornets, he immediately became lively again.

He shook his body, like a proud rooster, stretched his neck, and let out a howl.

Bang!

However, just as he started to get cocky, Su Can, unable to stand it, kicked him in the butt, interrupting his howling.

“You're just a dog! Why are you howling like a wolf? Can't you tell who's boss around here? Get to work!”

“…”

Dahuang immediately shut up, looking at Su Can with a resentful expression.

“Drama queen!”

Su Can rolled his eyes, about to kick him again, but Dahuang sensed it beforehand and barked as he ran off.

His frolicking appearance, with his mouth agape as he looked at Su Can, showed no trace of resentment anymore.

Su Can also pushed off the ground and ran quickly.

Whoosh!

The dense bushes shook violently as a dark shadow rushed through.

It was Su Can's figure as he swept past.

His speed was extremely fast; the obstacles in front of him couldn't stop him at all. With a powerful leap, like walking on walls, he pushed off the trees and burst through the forest.

Woof!

Dahuang's excited voice came from ahead.

Immediately after, there was a flapping sound, and a pheasant fluttered up from in front.

“Good opportunity!”

Su Can's eyes lit up. He immediately stopped, holding the urea bag in his left hand, and with a swipe of his right hand, a small embroidery needle appeared!

The next second, Su Can's mental power surged.

The embroidery needle shot up with a 'whoosh', aimed at the flapping pheasant, and then suddenly darted, rushing towards it.

A silver flash of lightning appeared in the air, moving at an astonishing speed, instantly catching up to the pheasant thirty meters high, and directly piercing through its wing.

“Cluck cluck cluck!!”

Feeling the sudden sharp pain in its wing, the pheasant immediately let out a panicked shriek, then uncontrollably flapped and tumbled from the sky.

“Woof!”

Dahuang was extremely excited and quickly ran up to snatch it in his mouth.

Su Can watched the fallen pheasant, standing still in place, but with a thoughtful expression.

“It seems that using mental power to control an embroidery needle is still quite formidable. At least within a distance of over thirty meters, it can easily pierce a pheasant's wing!”

Thinking this, Su Can's mind stirred, and another embroidery needle, as if alive, automatically emerged from his pocket.

“Go!”

This time, Su Can's target was a tree about fifty meters away.
