Daily News: Insect Girls' Heavy Dependence

Faced with these strange four-colored mists.

Gas masks of this era cannot possibly be effective for a long time.

The filter needs to be replaced every hour.

Richard didn't want to see his men die from aspiration or anything like that; it would be too stupid for them to die like that.

It would be better if inhaling the red and blue gases caused immediate death.

Inhaling yellow and purple fumes, while not fatal, is still a form of social death.

Even if some pioneers are very open about sex and think it's nothing, Richard should still be mindful of the impact, shouldn't he?

Richard hadn't figured out a way to speed up the dissipation of the fog.

Then they saw Govy's palm split open, purple tentacles growing out and transforming into a translucent purple wide-mouthed bottle... which began to collect the purple mist...

What is she trying to do?

Wearing her amethyst armor, Govi ​​carefully walked to the place where the purple mist was densest.

She clapped her hands lightly, fanning some mist into the cage... as more and more mist filled the bottle.

Richard, standing nearby, could observe that as time passed, the mist inside the bottle all settled to the bottom, turning into tiny purple particles…

"What are we going to do with all this?"

"It's used for..." Goldie believed Richard understood what she meant, so she didn't elaborate.

Then they started collecting the next bottle of purple granules...

Richard was speechless; he now understood what Goldie meant.

Collect this purple mist that causes star showers to those of the same sex. In Earth terms, isn't that just celery syrup?! I never imagined she and Glolo were playing such elaborate games…

Do not!

It's not just Goldwell doing this!

Several pioneers who collected the essence of insect fluid also began secretly collecting these things... They even carried glass bottles with them...

Upon seeing that young Master Richard had discovered them slacking off, a pioneer approached him and explained:

"Young Master, we will not neglect our work. Please allow us to..."

"Alright, alright. I'm not interested in your sexual fetishes or anything like that. Just don't confuse the red or blue mist..."

"Yes, young master!" The man ran off excitedly, spreading the word that the young master had allowed them to collect mist.

Cheers and praise for Richard could be heard from the Trail Blazers' ranks from time to time...

Before long, much of the yellow and purple fog had dissipated.

Only red and blue mist remained in this forest. Mixed with yellow and purple, it was clear that the pioneers dared not collect the mixed mist.

But this still affected collection efficiency, Richard thought for a moment. He then gave an order to the pioneer beside him:

"Tell everyone to collect the red and blue mist as well. For each bottle you collect, you can exchange it for one Dior Coin."

Don't underestimate the power of one Dio coin; it's enough to feed an adult for a week in the outside world.

One Dior Coin ≈ 200 RMB

These pioneers earned only 10-50 Dior coins a day in the wilderness.

If they successfully return alive from the wild, many people can live off their wages for a year without much trouble.

The pioneers, however, were used to making quick money, so they became extravagant spenders. Commissions that would have been enough for an average person for months or even years were spent by them in a single month…

Not to mention!

Many pioneers are actually in debt because the money they use to implant Tier 2 bugs is borrowed... A single Tier 2 bug egg costs around 1,000 Dio coins. Some Tier 2 bugs cost several thousand, and some superior breeds can even cost tens of thousands.

The most important reason.

It's just that Richard, the former heir to a noble family, didn't know about currencies with lower denominations than Dio. That's why he used one Dio to promise them things, even though they would have done it anyway... But why not use Yekalin's money to buy people's hearts?

Back to topic.

As Richard's new policies began to spread within the ranks.

The cheers from the Trail Blazers grew louder and louder:

"Waaah... We will remember Young Master Richard's kindness for ten thousand years!"

"What do you mean, 'remember for ten thousand years'? Young Master's debt of gratitude can never be repaid!"

"Young master, I'll be your servant in my next life!"

"You've already been implanted with some kind of monster, so you might as well behave yourself. Maybe you'll be a lord in your next life... Also, stop being so sarcastic. Hurry up and collect all the mist... Wait, don't forget a bottle of essence insect fluid!"

Richard stopped them from continuing their praise; he wasn't some gullible kid who'd get carried away by a few compliments...

He didn't believe in other people's promises of loyalty. If he didn't have Yekalin's backing and could offer enough Dior, how could these pioneers possibly pay any attention to him!

Richard simply believed that enough incentives could sway people and make them obediently do things for him.

This time, the pioneers quickly collected all the mist that filled the forest.

Even the mist that was mixed together and difficult to distinguish was sorted out by the pioneers using some unknown method and placed into different bottles.

Money really can make the devil turn the millstone!

"Now that the fog in the air has been cleared away, you still need to be careful about the particles left in the environment. Don't take the money and not live to spend it... I'll go and tally up the Dior Coins you exchanged. You guys just focus on collecting the Essence Insect Liquid."

"yes--!"

Without hesitation, none of the pioneers hesitated; they began to physically dig deep into the forest.

Richard returned to the camp and looked at the mountains of bags and packages piled up in the center of the camp.

Inside were glass bottles filled with four-colored particles.

He then looked at Govye beside him:

"Govie, these powders can't be used directly, can they?"

"Of course not, these powders need to be diluted with water. Then they're made into ointments or something... Anyway, the process is very complicated, and I don't know the specific steps. I only know that if you don't dilute them to reduce their toxicity, using them directly is no different from killing yourself."

Govye opened her backpack containing bottles, took out a bottle filled with red and blue granules, and handed it to Richard.

She collected some as well, intending to exchange them for Dior coins. After all, a Dior coin is still money, and she was happy to do such a small thing as finding money.

Even with Yekaterin's promise, Gove is still considered a pioneer... her mission is to protect Richard, and she receives a thousand Dior coins every day.

This 1,000 Dio coins was the result of Govye lowering the price herself. Originally, Yekaterin had said 5,000 Dio coins a day, with an additional several hundred thousand if Richard survived and returned to Stormwind.

Richard was naturally unaware of these matters.

Just how much did that proud duchess do for him behind the scenes?

Of course, nobody knew.

Was Goldie truly motivated by the money, or by Richard himself? That's why she agreed to participate in this wilderness expedition.
