Chapter 86 - Working Caterpillar
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wang Che looked at it. This kind of contract naturally could not stump him.
The conditions given by Silkworm Fashion were the same as described.
Even the number of threads required every month was written clearly.
There was not much. It was enough to spit 30 meters of thread a day. Of course, it had to be done continuously.
Otherwise, it would not be easy to process.
This was basically equivalent to letting the green caterpillar practice Spit Thread less than ten times a day.
It also solved the problem of wasting so many threads during the previous practice.
Such threads could only be used normally after processing.
The problem in the contract was that after the green caterpillar grew, the quality of the threads would increase, and the amount provided would increase.
Of course, the workload would also increase appropriately.
In the current month, because the green caterpillar’s soul power cultivation was low, it did not need to provide many threads every month.
The basic salary was ten thousand dollars. On the basis of the length of thirty meters of threads a day, the more threads provided,
the higher the bonus increase.
It was enough for the little guy to be self-sufficient now.
“When your green caterpillar reaches the thousand-year soul power cultivation base, it will have the right to exchange for a new contract with our company. Your treatment will also greatly increase.”
Mi Xue was afraid that Wang Che could not understand, so she continued, “After reaching ten thousand years, if you’re willing, you can continue to work with us. Of course, you can state the benefits you want. Our Silkworm Fashion will try our best to satisfy you.”
Wang Che nodded.
They were rather kind.
After all, to be able to nurture it to ten thousand years, be it the green caterpillar or him, they would definitely walk into a wider world.
Whether or not they would choose to cooperate depended on Wang Che and the green caterpillar, not them.
After signing the contract, Mi Xue brought over a box. After opening it, there were many soul skill scrolls inside.
“Inside are bug-type soul skill secret carvings,” Mi Xue said. “You can choose one randomly. Of course, they’re all normal bug-type soul skills. There’s no core skills.”
It was not bad to get a normal skill.
Wang Che had nothing to say.
He randomly picked one and opened it.
Insect Voice: Letting out a high-pitched cry, causing the opponent to be afraid or flee, thus allowing you to chase after the opponent.
Note: The power of this move is not only related to soul power cultivation, but also the user’s vital structure itself.
Vital structure here was referring to the evolution form.
In short, the higher the evolution stage, the more powerful this move was.
Wang Che glanced at the green caterpillar.
If it could not evolve, its vital structure could not be improved.
Of course, in Wang Che’s opinion, this cry was indeed related to the vital structure.
It was just like how a soul beast at the top of the food chain could intimidate many soul beasts below the food chain with a roar.
In reality, to bug type soul pets, this was a very practical move.
This was because soul pets grew very quickly. Even young extremely rare soul pets, as long as they were bug type, could complete the third stage evolution within a thousand years.
This was unlike other young extremely rare soul pets where the third stage evolution was under ten thousand years.
To be able to evolve so quickly and have an elevated vital structure, this move would be very powerful.
If a third stage bug type soul pet used this move on any second stage soul pet, even if there was a difference in rank and soul power cultivation, it could still cause an obvious effect.
Unfortunately, the green caterpillar had not evolved yet. The effect of using this move was greatly reduced.
This move was useless.
“This move.. Hmm.. isn’t too good..” Mi Xue was a little embarrassed, “It’s okay. You were unlucky this time, but luck will come next time.”
She could naturally tell that this soul skill secret carving was too useless to Wang Che’s green caterpillar.
It was as good as nothing.
If not for the rules, she would have asked Wang Che to choose another one.
“It’s okay, I think it’s not bad.” Wang Che smiled.
It was useless to other Contract Soul Masters.
In Wang Che’s case, there were no useless soul skills.
After signing the contract, he received the reward.
Wang Che patted the green caterpillar’s head.
“From now on, you’re no longer an ordinary green caterpillar.”
“Huh?”
“You have a job now, my dear working caterpillar.”
“..”
The green caterpillar did not know what work meant, but it knew that it could eat many good things in the future.
It could not help but laugh happily.

After the competition, he returned to Skyheart City with the green caterpillar.
Teacher Zheng asked on the phone in concern, “Wang Che, how was it? How many rounds did you pass? Hmm.. the competition was a little difficult, but it’s okay if you failed..”
“We’ve already signed the contract and are on the way back.”
“..”
Teacher Zheng was stunned for a moment.
“Hahaha! Good, good, you didn’t let me down. What about your soul skill? What soul skill did you get?”
“As long as it’s a bug-type soul skill, it’s very useful to your green caterpillar. As long as it’s not Insect Voice, everything else, like Bug Web, Old Bug Root, Bug Bite, Devour, and so on are not bad.. It’s relatively easy to train the green caterpillar.”
“..Hmm.. It’s Insect Voice..”
“..”
There was another period of silence on the other end.
“Actually, Insect Voice is not bad,” Wang Che said.
“Hmm, it’s indeed not bad. Train properly. There’s still more than two months until your green caterpillar reaches a soul power cultivation of 700 years. I’ll let you know if there’s any way to get another bug type soul skill secret carving when the time comes,” Teacher Zheng said.
“Enough, enough,” Wang Che immediately said. “Currently, there are enough soul skills. We should be able to obtain a good ranking in the Aviation Cup.”
Teacher Zheng was too good. Wang Che felt that this competition had already benefited him a lot.
“Alright, it’s up to you.” Teacher Zheng did not say anything else.
After giving Wang Che some instructions regarding mental strength cultivation, he hung up.
Wang Che returned home and first checked the gene capsule in the soul skill secret carving before feeding it to the green caterpillar.
Then, he opened the scroll and showed it to the green caterpillar.
With the green caterpillar’s current intelligence, it was naturally very easy to learn this move.
It learned the move in a day.
However, Wang Che naturally did not intend to end this learning process so easily.
After learning Insect Voice, Wang Che said seriously to the green caterpillar, “Next, I’ll teach you a move: Heavenly Dipper Lion Roar.”
Green caterpillar: “???”
What the heck?
However, when it heard the word ‘lion’, the green caterpillar understood.
It hissed at Wang Che.
It seemed to be reminding Wang Che that it was only a green caterpillar.
‘Don’t teach me strange things.’
Wang Che smiled.
Lion’s Roar was a basic martial skill that Buddhists and martial monks had to cultivate.
In the cultivation world, Buddhist cultivation was divided into two types. The first was martial monks who walked the path of cultivating the body to achieve the Dao. After ascending to the Immortal Realm and transcending the tribulation, they were respected as Arhats.
The other type of Zen Master would walk the path of cultivation to comprehend the Great Dao of heaven and earth. After reaching the immortal realm and transcending the tribulation, they would be respectfully called Bodhisattva.
They were all in the category of immortal cultivation.
As for this move, Lion’s Roar, it was a necessary martial skill for Buddhist martial cultivators in the early stages of cultivation.
The reason why it was said to be compulsory was because the many powerful martial skills of late-stage Buddhist cultivators required this move as support.
Of course, it was impossible for the green caterpillar to learn the true Heavenly Dipper Lion Roar.
It did not have that ability.
historical
However, if he added the principle of this martial skill on the basis of the Insect Voice soul skill and improved it, it could definitely increase the power.
Otherwise, this move was indeed useless for the green caterpillar.
Just like the Aura Concealment Technique, Wang Che was modifying basic spell techniques or martial skills into the soul skills he had.
He believed that the power would be extraordinary.
