Chapter 1307: Yamete (Please Don’t) and Injured Chrysanthemum (Anus)

Although Snowy was lively, cheerful, and unpretentious, perhaps even perceived as easy to bully, she was indeed rather soft. She’d had no particular good thoughts of caterpillars since her childhood.

In the area where she lived, except for the area around ​​the artificial lake, about 90% of it was covered in lush greenery. There were trees everywhere, perhaps too many trees, which was not necessarily a good thing. For example, in summer, when a gust of wind blew, many caterpillars fell out of the trees… It was rather disgusting to some.

Thus, every summer, she tried to avoid passing under the trees. If she had to pass under one, she always ran quickly past it.

She had heard Zhang Zian say to the fat boy that this caterpillar was a larva of the Swallowtail Butterfly. She was surprised and in admiration of him. Not only could he easily recognize cats and dogs, he could do the same for caterpillars? This… This…could only be possible if he had seen many types of caterpillars!

However, she was somewhat suspicious, doubting whether Zhang Zian was bluffing. After all, he had a known history of doing just that.

There were many netizens in the live room, men and women, from all walks of life. When she’d come to the pet store for the live broadcast, some viewers had also known about pets. They merely had not known as much as Zhang Zian—although this was understandable. After all, this was his job.

Thus, she planned to capture the caterpillar using her phone camera to see if anyone in the audience could confirm its species. This was to make sure Zhang Zian was not bluffing. Even if she asked him, he would not readily confirm that he was.

However, considering the many female viewers in the live chat room, she warned, “Next, I will show you all the caterpillars mentioned by Mr. Manager. People who are timid or hate caterpillars should close their eyes or block the screen!”

The females in the chat room hurriedly shifted their gazes or put down their mobile phones to do other things. However, the males were curious, and they all urged Snowy to shoot it clearly.

She held her phone close to the caterpillar, giving it a close-up.

“Oh wow! So disgusting!”

“I overestimated my ability to withstand this scenery!”

“Hey! It’s too close, Snowy!”

Some viewers couldn’t stand it because all of a sudden, a huge caterpillar, albeit rather cute, appeared on their screens.

“Sorry! Sorry!” Snowy repeatedly apologized and moved the phone back a little.

“Mr. Manager said that this is the larva of a Swallowtail Butterfly. Who can confirm this?” she asked.

Butterflies, moths, or both could be collectively referred to as lepidopteran insects. It was also a classification of pets. It was considered to be a “worm” in the “flowers, birds, and fish” category, but it was a very small subgroup. They could be compared to the popularity of cats and dogs. Even aquatic pets were likely more popular than them.

Despite this, many people had raised silkworms when they were young. Whether it was done by the primary school or parents, many had a great time raising them. These silkworms would also eventually evolve and become moths.

Things that didn’t disgust a person as a kid often disgusted them in adulthood. For example, children liked to use branches to poke at these insects, or play in their own pee and excrement. However, when did anyone see adults doing that?

The only contact between ordinary adults and silkworms may be…to eat fried silkworm cocoons?

If the silkworm baby and the larvae were put together, the larvae might look slightly better. However, the silkworm baby would do a better job of making everyone happy.

Despite the audience’s reaction, this was necessary to ensure that the information was correct. She needed to make sure that this was a Swallowtail larva.

If someone could recognize it immediately, the answer would have been shared by now. However, this time around, it took some time. Someone probably searched for the answer on Baidu, China’s Google.

Snowy asked in surprise, “Mr. Manager, you’ve actually read up on insects as well?”

Zhang Zian said modestly, “I can’t say I am an expert. I am not as good as an entomologist. If you have nothing to do, just read the books about these creatures. There is no harm in more knowledge.”

This kind of humility was the most appealing, attracting waves of commotion from the audience.

“I know! I know!” Some netizens rushed to answer. “Sexual-harassment manager is studying the butterfly while studying Japanese p*rn that says ‘yamate’!”

“If there are larvae of the butterfly, I also want to masturbate to that!”

Snowy asked in admiration, “Is it… Mr. Manager, are you going to expand your business?”

“No,” Zhang Zian replied simply.

“Eh? Why not?” Snowy asked, puzzled.

“Because no one buys these things. It is a waste of time and energy, and it doesn’t make money.” This was what Zhang Zian had learned after his own research.

The insect market was too small, and the number of followers of insects on Baidu was significantly fewer than cats. Besides, insects formed the largest population of living things in the world. To make a business out of insects, he would need a massive investment and amount of energy. He was not that stupid.

“Oh, the focus is on the last sentence. It really speaks to your character, Mr. Manager,” Snowy said.

“Wait a minute, what is my character?” Zhang Zian couldn’t pretend he hadn’t heard that.

Snowy laughed it off and did not answer this question. The netizens answered for her.

“What is your character? Don’t you already know?”

“You only know how to make money all day long. Come up with some ideals and passion instead!”

“If you are doing it, just say you are. Isn’t it time to shout that you will take the lead and bring the Chinese insect industry into the World Cup?”

Zhang Zian took a look at the screen and saw the barrage of comments from the netizens. How could ideals and passion feed a person? They shouldn’t just talk without thinking!

What did this have to do with the World Cup? This had nothing to do with football teenagers…

It had to be emphasized that he had not studied any butterfly (or Japanese p*rn), nor had he had his chrysanthemum studied.

Standing at the door for a while, Snowy proposed entering the store to see the native Egyptian products and taste the fresh Egyptian dates.

As his staff had completed cleaning of the store, Zhang Zian invited her in.

At this time, not far away, there was a sudden cry. Zhang Zian, Snowy, and also the pedestrians passing by looked in the direction of the cry.

They saw the fat boy running from the green, grassy area behind the pet store and falling. He was crying loudly, his pen and book long gone. Tears and mucus covered his face. Added to that, his crying was really loud.

Zhang Zian and Snowy looked at each other, puzzled. What had happened to this little fat boy? Who was bullying him?
