Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.

Current Evolution Points: 680 billion
Under Zhou Qi's meticulous planning, the parasitic capital oligarchs in the Beautiful Country, like puppets on a string, initiated a revolutionary transformation in the agricultural and animal husbandry Domain.
Leveraging their immense wealth and extensive connections, they swiftly turned their attention to numerous small farms across the country.
These farms, originally traditional agricultural and animal husbandry sites cultivating vast grain fields and raising cattle and sheep, were now undergoing a magnificent yet peculiar transformation driven by capital.
In an agricultural state in the Midwest, a farm primarily growing wheat underwent a drastic change within just a few weeks.
Large transport vehicles continuously drove into the farm, unloading various advanced breeding equipment.
Professional technical teams then moved in, directing workers to dismantle existing planting facilities and erect rows of new insect breeding rooms.
These insect breeding rooms adopted the most advanced temperature and humidity control Systems, simulating the most suitable growth environments for various insects.
Farmers who once toiled in the fields now, under the training of technical personnel, began to learn how to raise Yellow Mealworms, Black Soldier Flies, and other insects.
They followed strict operational procedures, preparing special feed for these small lives and carefully monitoring their growth cycles, with eyes reflecting both unfamiliarity and curiosity about the new work, as well as anticipation for future profits.
Meanwhile, similar scenes were constantly unfolding across the Beautiful Country.
A dairy farm in the New England region had its cow sheds converted into cockroach breeding areas.
Workers busily placed boxes of cockroach larvae on specially designed breeding racks, which were stacked layer upon layer, occupying the entire space of the cow shed.
To ensure the cockroaches' growth environment, the ventilation System was re-engineered, and the lighting was specially adjusted.
In some southern states, farmlands originally growing cotton and tobacco were now replaced by neat insect farms.
Inside huge plastic greenhouses, various insects were being bred, rapidly multiplying in the warm and humid environment, becoming an important part of Zhou Qi's insect Empire.
As the scale of insect farms within the Beautiful Country continued to expand, Zhou Qi's ambition was not yet satisfied.
At his behest, the parasitic capital oligarchs began to extend their reach globally.
They utilized their influence in the international business Domain to engage in frequent contact and negotiations with government officials and business magnates from various countries.
In Europe, they collaborated with the French agricultural department to convert some small vineyards in the countryside into snail and Earthworm breeding bases.
These breeding bases not only utilized the rich local natural resources but also leveraged advanced French agricultural technology to cultivate high-quality snails and Earthworms for gourmet food and organic fertilizers.
In Italy, farms that originally grew olives were also transformed into insect farms, where the bred insects were used to extract protein for addition to various foods and health products.
In Asia, Zhou Qi's influence also expanded rapidly.
In Tianzhu, they partnered with local enterprises to establish large Yellow Mealworm breeding centers in some impoverished areas.
These centers not only provided a large number of employment opportunities for the local population but also helped farmers escape poverty.
Farmers cooperated with the breeding centers by using their land to raise Yellow Mealworms, then selling the harvested Yellow Mealworms to the center at a contractual price.
The center would then kill these Yellow Mealworms to convert them into Evolution Points, and then process them into products such as feed and protein powder, which were sold to domestic and international markets.
In Woguo, Zhou Qi's team collaborated with local technology companies, utilizing high-tech methods to develop small insect breeding equipment suitable for urban living.
These devices could be placed on balconies or in basements of residential homes, allowing for the breeding of small insects such as silkworms and fruit flies, which not only met the urban residents' demand for novel breeding experiences but also opened up new markets for Zhou Qi's insect industry.
In Heizhou, Zhou Qi's insect breeding plan received strong support from the local government.
On a barren land in Kenya, modern insect farms rose one after another.
These insect farms utilized abundant local sunlight and cheap labor to breed large quantities of Black Soldier Flies.
Black Soldier Flies can not only decompose organic waste and improve the environment but also serve as high-quality animal feed for poultry and fish farming.
Local farmers enthusiastically joined the insect breeding industry, working diligently in the insect farms, significantly increasing their income. The insect farms also stimulated economic development in surrounding areas and promoted infrastructure construction.
Zhou Qi used the funds from these capital oligarchs to launch a frantic global insect acquisition campaign.
He dispatched professional acquisition teams, comprised of biologists, entomologists, and skilled business negotiators.
They ventured deep into rural areas, mountains, and deserts around the world, searching for various valuable insects.
In the Amazon rainforest of South America, the acquisition team hired local Guides to penetrate deep into the rainforest.
They moved through the dense jungle, carefully avoiding various dangerous animals and plants, searching for unique insect species.
Once a target was found, they would use professional tools to capture the insects and place them in specially designed containers. These containers were equipped with appropriate temperature, humidity, and food to ensure the insects remained in good condition during transportation.
...
As insect farms continued to be established globally and insect acquisition efforts persisted, Zhou Qi's insect Empire gradually took shape.
To better manage this vast industry, Zhou Qi established specialized management agencies in various locations.
In Europe, the management agency was located in the capital of the Sun Never Sets Empire.
Here, professionals from various countries gathered, receiving daily reports from each breeding base, including insect growth conditions, production data, and encountered problems.
At the same time, they also collaborated with local food processing companies, cosmetic companies, and others to process the bred insects into various products and launch them into the market.
In Asia, the management center was located in Mumbai, Tianzhu.
Here, they not only managed the Yellow Mealworm breeding centers in India itself but also coordinated cooperation projects with neighboring countries.
Management personnel frequently traveled between various farms, providing technical support and training to farmers.
In Heizhou, the management agency was established in Nairobi, Kenya.
The management personnel here were primarily responsible for overseeing the operation of the insect farms, ensuring that while the farms promoted local economic development, they also maximized the Evolution Points earned.
They also collaborated with local governments to formulate relevant policies and regulations, safeguard farmers' rights, and promote the sustainable development of the insect breeding industry.
At the same time, they were continuously exploring new breeding varieties and technologies, hoping to further increase the breeding numbers of the insect farms.
