The second volume is full of glory and splendor in the capital, and the spirit is full of energy in the foggy city. Chapter 234: Great Insect Master
The subtitle of this chapter: There was Bear Grylls before, and now there is Erye.
"As we all know, Mr. Yuan Yanshu, who is known as the "Master among Masters of the Republic of China", is a person who loves life very much and has many hobbies.
People at that time often compared him with the lay Buddhist Die'an in the late Ming Dynasty.
Mr. Die'an is Zhang Dai, who "was a dandy young man, and loved luxury, fine houses, beautiful maids, male prostitutes, bright clothes, delicious food, fine horses, bright lights, fireworks, opera theaters, drums and music, antiques, flowers and birds. He was also addicted to tea and oranges, addicted to books and poetry, and worked hard for half his life, but everything became a dream."
According to the timeline of a certain group-travel novel, he should be on his way to Lingao...
Apart from the fact that he was a "pedophile", Yuan Hongjian had a lot in common with Zhang Zongzi.
But this was normal. After all, he was a dandy son of an official family, and he had never worried about money in his life. Plus, he had a wild and unruly personality, and no one could restrain him. It was normal for such a person to have some hobbies.
However, people of great talent often have unusual habits, and extraordinary people naturally have extraordinary hobbies.
Mr. Yuan Yanshu has a very strange and even a bit disgusting hobby, which is eating insects, or eating them raw.
He was known to carry around small jars filled with several kinds of live insects, and he would sometimes open them and eat them in public.
His explanation for this is that from a scientific point of view, insects have very high nutritional value and are rich in vitamins and trace elements, so he is actually taking nutritional tablets.
Because Yuan Yanshu recovered several times from serious illnesses, some of which were considered incurable in his time, such as sepsis and tuberculosis, some people believe that his statement is truly scientific.
So, starting in the 1920s, there was a trend of eating insects raw, which has not subsided to this day..."
——Excerpt from "Hobbies of Celebrities in the Republic of China"
"Ahem... Master Ball, will I be fine after eating this? Ahem..."
"Host, you've asked me this many times. If you take this, there's a high chance your illness will be cured immediately. One more thing, stop coughing if you're thinking about something."
"Cough cough cough... Master Ball cough cough cough... I'm not used to it cough cough cough..."
After our Master Yuan took office, his six-dimensional index was actually weakened.
Because the three items he relies on most, Charm, Constitution and Intelligence, are not as high as before, and cannot be adjusted with props. On the contrary, Strength, Agility and Perception are all at 13 points, which is useless.
Well, actually, his intelligence didn't seem to be of much use.
One consequence of his health dropping from 18 to 16 is that while tuberculosis won't kill him, he won't recover quickly. Don't forget he also "drank " Mr. McCall's heart disease and Condor's various injuries.
So it was now Sunday, May 15, 1921, almost a week after his resurrection, and he still had not fully recovered.
But Yuan Yanshu couldn't wait any longer. He was going to leave America in June, and there were still many things waiting for him to do.
So he had to hope that the career he chose would be more reliable.
So he caught a cockroach.
So he prepared...
Occupation: Insect Pulse Warlock
Employment requirements: None of the six indexes can be less than 13 points, and there is no camp restriction.
Occupation Description: You ask me why I can't become a dragon vein sorcerer? You should ask your female ancestors.
There is no need to envy the Dragon Vein Warlock, as they rely on their bloodline; the Insect Vein Warlock is even more powerful and relies on his own appetite.
On the surface, a worm vein warlock looks like a very mediocre ranger, even inferior to a bard or a druid. However, a worm vein warlock has a magical ability - devour.
When an Insect Physician consumes an insect, they gain the insect's skills and expertise for a limited time.
As a wormwitch's level increases, their duration increases, and the skills and specializations they gain become stronger. For example, a low-level wormwitch who eats a spider will gain increased agility and perception, and may even gain the ability to use webs and spider walk. However, a high-level wormwitch has a high chance of becoming Spider-Man.
Although there are not many insect vein sorcerers in human history, each of them has left behind legendary deeds, such as...
That’s right, our Master Yuan also wants to learn from Bear Grylls.
The cockroach is most famous for its strong vitality. It can live for seven days even if its head is chopped off. It also has a strong resistance to disease. After all, there are only cockroaches that die from beatings, not from diseases.
"Ah, wuwu... gulp... hmm..." Poor Master Yuan closed his eyes and swallowed the even more pitiful cockroach.
"Son-in-law, what are you doing in the kitchen?" Sister Lian's voice came from behind him, startling him.
"Son-in-law, how did you get under the table?!" Startled, Yuan Yan suddenly used Xiaoqiang's powerful skill - slipping through cracks, and disappeared in a flash... This was impossible, as he was so big that he could hide his head but not his butt.
He had no choice but to get up and said awkwardly, "Sister Lian, it's okay. I'll check the kitchen."
"Son-in-law, you really are..." Sister Lian didn't know what to say, so she could only mutter, "Why are you checking your hygiene when you're sick instead of staying in bed..."
Upon hearing this, our Master Yuan became displeased. His handsome face sternly replied, "Sister Lian, hygiene is extremely important. Look at why I suddenly contracted tuberculosis. It's very likely that there's something wrong with my diet."
Sister Lian was frightened by this and immediately defended herself, "Sir, this is not a polite thing to say. Sister Lian, I am..."
"But what buts? How can the kitchen be clean when there are cockroaches in it?" Yuan Yan suddenly said in a stern voice: "Sister Lian, you have to catch all the cockroaches in the kitchen today. Hurry up and get to work!"
With that, he turned away… As he was about to leave the kitchen, he remembered something and turned back to say, “Oh, Sister Lian, those cockroaches must be captured alive!”
Sister Lian was stunned and said, "Capture alive? Master, but..."
"But what but? When I was dying of illness, I swore a vow to the Buddha that if I could recover, I would 'sweep the floor without harming the lives of ants, and cherish the moths that fly under the lamp'. So I must capture him alive! Enough of the nonsense, get to work!"
After teasing Sister Lian for a bit, our Master Yuan felt that he was in a much better mood...
Well, my health seems to have improved a lot, at least I don’t cough cough cough anymore.
It seems that the Master Ball did not fool me this time. The Insect Pulse Warlock is indeed very powerful, and the Devouring skill is really awesome.
Oh, what a pity, ahem…
