In the future, we may even see cockroaches being used to solve food shortages, as they are thought to have a high protein content and a wide range of nutrients. Cockroaches are highly survivable.
That's why they say
"The world may end, but cockroaches will not."
We're not there yet, but I wonder if there will be cockroach trainers in the future.
There could be cockroach farms and cockroach competitions in order to get more food resources.
One day in the future, James is a cockroach trainer and participates in a racing competition in Daejeon. In the meantime, he has been trying to improve the time by increasing the size of his cockroaches and training them to run through mazes faster.
The nature of the stadium track meant that they had to cross the finish line quickly. However, they have to pass through the intermediate points. If you don't, you're out.
There are 200 participants, 50 groups of four, and the first and second place finishers in each group advance to the next round.
James finished second in his heat and advanced to the next round. There were 100 players in 25 groups of four. Again, James placed second. He kept coming close, advancing to the next round and finally making it to the finals.
In the final round of five, James won first place as the cockroach trainer.
This match is televised and very popular.
I wonder if I'll ever see a day like this, but probably not.
Once upon a time, in my apartment, cockroaches would sneak out at night. A cockroach passes in front of my eyes. It's nerve-wracking and gross. I quickly use a notebook or book to catch the cockroach with one swipe. If it runs away, I can't sleep until I catch it.
