201: Chapter 201: Mastering Insects and Magic Power 201: Chapter 201: Mastering Insects and Magic Power As they watched the goods being loaded onto the vehicle, the two exchanged a glance, simultaneously revealing a meaningful smile. This time was for overseas expansion, so Zhao Guang increased the gemstone input from the Beastmen side but reduced the purchase of Jade. Or to put it another way, Zhao Guang didn’t buy any Jade at all these two times. After all, such goods can only be sold domestically, as they are practically worthless overseas. The cultures of different countries vary, as do aesthetic preferences, so it’s only natural that the level of fondness for certain things differs as well. However, this time, Gold was the most important element, as it could cause headaches for some people. “Take it slow, no rush, we have plenty of time now,” Zhao Guang said leisurely. His previous trades had already amassed a significant amount of capital, which he couldn’t even fully utilize in his pig farming business. Even though he had many projects underway, he still had plenty of funds. As long as he didn’t continue expanding crazily in a short period, there wasn’t a problem of burning through his funds. Moreover, if the plan succeeded, a substantial amount of capital would flow in from overseas, and he still wouldn’t be short of funds. As for the Guo family, they may have to spend heavily to lay down overseas routes. Most of these goods were his own, so the Guo family’s income wouldn’t increase too much because of them; they needed other channels. “I know, with these items, we’ll be able to establish our own channels as well, and we won’t be dependent on others.” Zhao Guang was very satisfied with Guo Siyu and just watched as she left. In the following days, Zhao Guang once again resumed his normal life. The next morning, he completed the construction of his new Spell, and then went to the Otherworld for the final shaping phase. Just like before, Zhao Guang expertly constructed the Magic Model he had perfected. Within his Sea of Consciousness, a third tiny Rune appeared, symbolizing the control of insects. “Let’s experiment,” Zhao Guang said as he opened a bottle and released a bug he had prepared in advance. With a thought, a Special Magic Array flashed over the body of the bug. That light, invisible to Mages, represented the brilliance of Magic. Once the light completely faded, Zhao Guang felt a connection between himself and the bug. “Move forward, walk backward, jump...” Zhao Guang issued various commands, familiarizing himself with the use of this new Spell. Soon, he had a rough idea of how it worked. “Alright, I’ll go back and try it out. Get lunch ready,” he said to Xi Fei, who gave him a resentful look as he returned home. After all, he intended to use this Spell primarily on Earth, not in the Otherworld. For additional testing, Zhao Guang went into the wilderness, finding a variety of insects to experiment with. “It seems that this insect control isn’t just for insects; any small bug will do, but not tiny fish or shrimps,” Zhao Guang mused as he observed the creatures in the water, somewhat puzzled by the principle behind the Spell. With Zhao Guang’s experimentation, the full effects of the Spell gradually became clear. Firstly, the control over insects wasn’t absolute; there were limitations. He could only control bugs under ten centimeters; larger ones over that size were beyond his control. These bugs could only respond to his commands, perhaps due to their simplicity. They could execute simple commands quite well. But when given more complex commands, the bugs simply couldn’t comprehend. If forced, they might even perform actions that were comically absurd. Moreover, there was a limit to how many insects he could control at once—no more than ten. If they were ordinary insects, they would have no real lethality. Was he supposed to control ten mosquitoes to bite someone? That would barely be a practical joke with no real harm. To leverage the lethality of this Spell, it seemed he had to find some highly toxic insects. However, such insects were generally not available for purchase domestically. “Pity they’re too simple-minded, can’t carry messages or be used for scouting,” he lamented. After all, it was just a trick; expecting more was pointless. To use insects for scouting, he would probably need at least a Basic Level Magic Spell, which simple tricks couldn’t achieve. Then Zhao Guang waved his hand, and a dragonfly flew off into the distance. It wasn’t long before Zhao Guang felt a jolt in the Rune, signaling that his Spell had failed. He knew it wasn’t because the dragonfly had died, but because it had moved beyond the maximum range and the Spell broke, freeing the dragonfly. “One kilometer, not a bad range.” The range of a normal Spell would only be a few dozen meters at best. Thanks to optimizations from his last Spell, Zhao Guang had unique insights into improving control range. If not for this, his Spell definitely wouldn’t have reached a one-kilometer range. While the Spell had its downsides, it also had plenty of advantages. First and foremost was its low Magic Power consumption. And the consumption was a one-time deal, not needing replenishment afterward. Zhao Guang assessed the Magic Power decay, estimating that the limit for controlling a bug would be around 24 hours, a full day and night. That much time was more than enough for any task. Another benefit, as Zhao Guang had already figured out, was that with the construction of this Spell, his Magic finally reached a complete state. Next, it was time to choose his path. Zhao Guang opted for a path of pure Spiritual Power, so his next step was to purify his Magic Power completely. This process would likely take just three days. He would then need to develop a Basic Level Magic Spell and construct it into his Talent Magic to truly enter the ranks of a Junior Mage. Zhao Guang already had a Spell in mind for this—Faith Extraction Technique. However, he didn’t fully comprehend it yet, which would take some time. With his recent studies, Zhao Guang was confident that he could complete it within a month. “I should speed things up, strive to finish early, and then lay out the next step of the plan.” Zhao Guang had decided that if he still couldn’t move the Space Gate after the breakthrough, he would have to figure out how to keep it concealed. And concealment would bring plenty of trouble in the times ahead. Sighing, Zhao Guang forced himself to think positively. But for now, there was no need to consider these things; the focus was on improvement. Over the next few days, aside from essential tasks, Zhao Guang devoted his attention primarily to constructing the Spell. The progress of the new Spell also advanced quickly.
