Chapter 1662
"I need to take a look first. I haven't come across this either. Therefore, I can't make any promises."
Selon's replies made sense. If Molly hadn't made the arrangements in advance, he wouldn't have known what to do.
When Ward heard those words, it was obvious that he was dissatisfied. However, Selon was the only one who could save the Venomous Insect Overlord.
Therefore, he didn't make things too difficult for Selon.
"Then take a look."
Ward signaled for Selon to walk forward.
Selon nodded slightly, walked forward and carefully observed the red beetle, which wasn't moving at all.
He knew full well why it was in the state, but he still had to pretend that he was looking into the situation seriously.
"What have you been feeding it, Professor Heist?" Selon turned around and looked at Heist.
The latter looked at Ward and said honestly, "I've been feeding it some Venomous Insects and medicinal herbs."
"Herbs?" Selon furrowed his brows. "How can you feed the Venomous Insect Overlord herbs? It's no ordinary being!"
"Can't I do that?" asked Heist.
"Of course not!" Selon was furious. "Since it's a Venomous Insect Overlord, then it can only be fed Venomous Insects and nothing else. It can't digest other things."
Professor Heist indeed didn't think of such things.
He then turned to Ward and said apologetically, "Sir, if we only feed the Venomous Insect Overlord other Venomous Insects, then it'll be too much for the base to afford. The base doesn't have that much money."
It was he who told Ward how rare the Venomous Insect Overlord was, but from the looks of things now, they couldn't afford to feed it at all.
Ward realized how serious things were at the moment as well. "That won't do. Where are we going to get so many Venomous Insects from?"
He wouldn't choose to do it even if he did.
The Venomous Insects that they were raising were mostly pre-ordered. If they fed those insects to the Venomous
Insect Overlord, how were they going to make the deliveries?
Besides, if the union found out about this, they would definitely blame him as well.
Selon knew what the two of them were worried about, but there was no going back. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Therefore, he definitely made things sound very serious.
"If this continues, the Venomous Insect Overlord will only die. I think it will be a bigger loss for the base if this happens. " Selon looked at Heist and then at Ward.
When the two of them heard those words, their faces became very serious.
It was a choice between Venomous Insects that had been pre-ordered and the very rare Venomous Insect Overlord.
It was a very hard choice to make.
After hesitating for a while, Ward said, "It won't die as long as we feed it Venomous Insects, right?"
"That's right. It's just that..." Selon looked at the weak Venomous Insect Overlord. His eyes flashed and he continued, "It seems that normal Venomous Insects wouldn't do now."
Heist frowned. "You mean..."
"You need to feed it other rare Venomous Insects. The ones with the best effects would be the ones that are toxic. The Venomous Insect Overlord is very toxic itself," said Selon.
Ward's face darkened continuously as he heard those words.
He had never expected the Venomous Insect King to have such a big appetite.
Not only that, he would need to feed the Venomous Insect Overlord other rare Venomous Insects as well. The thought of this made him feel unwilling to do it.
"Sir." Professor Heist whispered in Ward's ear, "I've just made a calculation. The Venomous Insect Overlord is worth
more. If the research is successful, we can breed even more Venomous Insect Overlords, not to mention other rare Venomous Insects."
After hearing those words, Ward turned around and looked at Professor Heist. He then nodded after some hesitation."
Alright then. Do as Dr. Shepard says. Bring the rare Venomous Insects of the base over."
When Selon heard those words, he lowered his head to hide the coldness in his eyes.
It seemed that everything was going as planned.
