43: Chapter 43: Young Master Zhao pays the bill for the entire event! Chen Changsheng transmigrates into the body of Little Golden Cicada!

"So this little brat is Zhao Erbao, ranked sixth on the Destined One contribution leaderboard. Looking at him like this, his family must be truly rich..."

Chen Changsheng turned his gaze and saw Zhao Erbao, under the sidelong glances of everyone in the hall, openly and generously displaying his personal backpack!

Dozens of eye-dazzling, large gold bars were lying quietly inside. Chen Changsheng and the crowd in the hall all gathered around, drooling.

"Zhao Erbao, you really brought a ton of gold!"

"Won't your parents go berserk if they find out?"

Chen Changsheng wiped the drool from the corner of his mouth and, with a bit of a sharp tongue, teased Zhao Erbao.

"...Heh, I have plenty of money at home!"

Zhao Erbao trembled, as if Chen Changsheng had hit the nail on the head. But in an instant, he clasped his little hands behind his back, and his expression became arrogant once again.

"My home is piled high with gold and cash, so what if I took 'a little bit'?"

"Besides, I'm doing important business, so my parents naturally agree one hundred percent!"

Saying this, Zhao Erbao turned his head to look at Chen Changsheng. "What about you? Are you jealous of these big gold bars?"

"Of course, who doesn't love big gold bars!"

Chen Changsheng didn't even think about it, nodding vigorously while drooling.

"Hmph, this Young Master is annoyed with you, I'm not trading with you!"

"...?? "

Chen Changsheng was speechless. "You little brat are really petty. Isn't it just because I exposed your secret!"

"In view of your excessive drooling, this Young Master is implementing unilateral sanctions against you and blocking you!"

"Tch, fine, don't trade then. What's the big deal? When I become a big internet celebrity in the future and make lots and lots of money, I'll definitely buy out your family's company!"

As Chen Changsheng grumbled and walked away, his eyes couldn't bear to leave Zhao Erbao's personal backpack. He was even wondering whether he should rob this little brat.

"This Young Master is in a great mood today. Gold for destiny coins, at twenty times the value!!"

"Limited quantity, first come, first served!!"

Seeing Chen Changsheng leave in defeat, Zhao Erbao felt great and shouted heroically to the people in the hall.

A Destined One cheered loudly: "Little Brother Erbao is generous!!"

Zhao Erbao's face darkened as he looked at the person who spoke. "Wait, I didn't say anything when you called me 'Erbao' before, but what should you call me now??"

"Zhao... Young Master Zhao?!" The person asked tentatively, feeling a little nervous.

"Hey, that's right!"

"From now on, you all must call me—Young Master Zhao!"

"Today, Young Master Zhao is paying for everyone, so hurry up and take out your destiny coins!"

"Young Master Zhao, I just returned from the Origin Continent and settled 0.08 destiny coins. I want to trade with you for gold!"

"Young Master Zhao, me too!"

"Young Master Zhao, look at me, look at me..."

"Don't rush, don't rush. This Young Master brought a ton of gold, I'll trade with all of you eventually!"

...

"Tch, little brat, you may have a lot of gold, but when I come back from the Origin Continent next time, I'll definitely surpass you by a large margin on the leaderboard!"

Withdrawing his jealous gaze, Chen Changsheng muttered unconvincingly.

With a flicker of thought, his entire person disappeared from the temple hall.

...

Origin Continent.

On a three-to-four-meter-tall mulberry tree, a little golden cicada was lying on a mulberry leaf, gnawing away.

Buzz~

Suddenly, a subtle ripple appeared around it, and then the little golden cicada was occupied by an interloper, with a new consciousness taking over its little golden body.

"Huh, I transmigrated into a golden cicada this time?"

"It seems I can't catch golden cicadas to eat anymore, that's too awkward!"

After Chen Changsheng muttered to himself, he began to control the little golden cicada's body to observe the surrounding environment.

The vegetation here was very lush. Besides the mulberry tree he was on, there were a few honey peach trees as tall as a person not far away!

"These honey peach trees are so strange, they've already borne fruit even though they're so small!!"

The golden cicada's compound eyes were very powerful. Even though it was five or six meters away, he could clearly see the few small peaches hanging on the crown of the peach trees.

The small peaches were about the size of an egg, greenish, and emitting a trace of mysterious halo all over.

"Even if these little green peaches aren't ripe, they probably aren't far from being true 'spiritual objects'!"

Chen Changsheng turned his body, and seeing those few small peaches, he could barely stop himself from drooling.

He was a human, after all. He didn't need close contact with rare flowers and exotic fruits; he could roughly judge them just by looking at them for a few glances!

"How long would it take to complete the initial evolution by gnawing on mulberry leaves? Since there's a better choice, why hesitate!"

After hesitating for only a moment, Chen Changsheng made up his mind to go eat those few small peaches!

As for them not being ripe and the effects being greatly reduced?

That wasn't something he should be considering; for now, he needed to survive smoothly first!

This was the "Primeval Ocean," full of crises everywhere. Without powerful strength, he could become someone else's meal in the next second!

"No way, haven't the wings of this body hardened yet?"

But soon, Chen Changsheng discovered to his dismay that his golden cicada wings couldn't fly at all; he could only flutter on the mulberry leaf!

"Do I have to crawl over from the ground?"

Chen Changsheng had originally thought that transmigrating into a golden cicada this time was barely a perfect start, as he was an aerial unit and could avoid most natural enemies.

As it turned out, he had just been born, and his wings hadn't even hardened yet. Wasn't he happy for nothing?!

Through his compound eyes, seeing the various ferocious small animals hidden in the soil under the tree, Chen Changsheng felt his scalp tingle. Crawling over was too unrealistic.

In desperation, he could only hug the mulberry leaf and gnaw away again, his compound eyes looking at the small green peaches on the opposite side from time to time, so greedy he was almost obsessed.

This little golden cicada's Innate foundation was pretty good. After Chen Changsheng gnawed vigorously for more than a day, he finally felt his wings harden!

However, this only gave him the initial ability to take off. To fly accurately to the honey peach tree on the opposite side, he still needed to practice diligently; otherwise, there was a high possibility of... "crashing and flipping"!

Just on the afternoon of the second day after Chen Changsheng transmigrated, an uninvited guest flew here!

"What does this damn Wasp want to do?"

"It's not going to steal my little peaches, is it?!"

Sure enough, under Chen Changsheng's angry expression, that thumb-sized yellow Wasp flapped its transparent wings and flew to the peach tree opposite!

Chen Changsheng gritted his teeth, wishing he could crush this Wasp to death.

But his actions were very honest; he curled up in a small nest surrounded by a few mulberry leaves, motionless, and could only seethe with indignation in his heart!

After repeated short-distance practice, he now had the confidence to fly to the peach tree opposite, but this damn Wasp was too powerful, making him silent as a cicada, not even daring to breathe too loudly!

He was just a little golden cicada that ate mulberry leaves; how could he directly conflict with a Wasp with a sharp stinger on its tail?

"Hmph, a wise man doesn't fight when the odds are against him!"

"I'll endure it today, and I'll take revenge for stealing my little peaches another day!"

Chen Changsheng laid low for more than ten minutes. The Wasp seemed to be full, stretched its body comfortably, and then flapped its wings and flew away.

Seeing this, Chen Changsheng poked out his golden cicada head. Not feeling any danger around, he fluttered and flew to the opposite side immediately.

"There's still some left... This damn Wasp!"

With a hateful remark, Chen Changsheng hugged the small green peach left over by the Wasp and began to gnaw away in large mouthfuls.

"I have to say, the taste is not bad. It would be even better if it were fully ripe..."
