Volume 3 Chapter 59 Shi Leiyin's Spore Project

The unexpected joy brought by the boarding doppelganger opened a new door for Shi Leiyin. This allowed Shi Leiyin, who had been entangled in the contradiction between safety and devouring instinct, to find a way to take care of both.

After receiving this method, the first thing Shi Leiyin did was to bring his consciousness to all the juvenile clones who had successfully boarded. Then it came to the conclusion that this method was completely feasible on Warcraft below the second-order and tenth-this is because the highest level of the juvenile clone is the second-order, and the level is tenth, and it is not yet a second-order tenth-level Warcraft, but a second-order seventh-order and a first-order tenth-level Warcraft.

Level 10 is almost the highest level that a first-order Warcraft can reach, and even if it is a wurmon that is excluded from Warcraft, it is rare for a Wurmon to reach the level of Level 10 in the case of a first-order situation. That doppelganger is possessed by a fish monster, and it is only this aquatic monster that there is such a big gap in rank and level - after all, size in the water is the advantage of survival.

Perhaps because the third-order and above demonic beasts have been able to have some understanding of parasitism, so in the case of their own safety as the first guarantee, those clones did not choose the third-order demonic beasts that could detect parasitism, and even most of them chose the first-order demonic beasts, which are inferior to the low-level demonic beasts whose IQ is not as good as that of the smarter beasts, as the parasitic object.

And the reason why the demonic beasts that are more than level ten are not parasitized by the clones is about two points in Shi Leiyin's opinion. One point is that most of the juvenile clones are in the third layer of the maze, and only a few are in the fourth layer of the maze. Only the fourth layer will have tenth-level demonic beasts appear, and the eleventh and twelfth-level demonic beasts are basically extremely rare in the fourth layer because they will cause certain obstacles to the monster mercenaries in the labyrinth. The Mercenary Guild even has a capture transfer mission to catch monsters that don't meet the level of the layer. The other point is that the ability of the clone is not enough to break through those defenses that exceed level 10 - the carnivorous plants in the fourth layer of the labyrinth make the high-level demonic beasts that can live in it have good body surface defense capabilities, not only to resist physical damage, but also to poison, anesthesia, acid and other methods commonly used by plants. This also makes it impossible for the juvenile clones who use the same means to break the defense of those scarce Demonic Beasts above level 10 in the fourth layer.

However, since Shi Leiyin had found such a safe and practical means of gene collection, the key was to avoid killing too many magical beasts in the labyrinth and being claimed by the profiteer in Ku, he was naturally unwilling to give up easily.

The juvenile doppelganger is just a product of the meaningless insistence of self-production to satisfy his otaku, and both form and ability tend to be works rather than tools. Since he needs to use this method of boarding clone to collect the dominant genes of the huge number of demonic beasts and wurmmons in the labyrinth, he should make a tool, a tool with a special purpose.

It can be said that Shi Leiyin almost immediately decided to make this kind of clone purely for collecting dominant genes at the same time that he thought of using the spore form.

Spores, which are the most suitable form for parasitic doppelgangers in Shi Leiyin's memory.

First, spore composition requires almost only one or a few individual cells. With complete control over his body, Shi Leiyin can easily split thousands of parasitic spores. And if you want to attack the vast majority of the monsters in the entire labyrinth, the number of clones is very important.

Second, the spores' tiny size allows them to almost ignore the scales of most monsters. The gaps between the scales are open doors for the spores. Similarly, the spikes and plates used to protect the body do not have any effect on the spores. Even those monsters that use secretions as protection will cause some trouble for the spore clones. However, after Shi Leiyin attached some swimming flagella to the spore clones, the secretions were nothing more than decorations.

Third, the spores are easily transmissible, and their small and light size allows these spores to drift around through the air to find parasitic objects. Also because of their small size, the spores will hardly become the prey object of any magical beast. In fact, in Shi Leiyin's opinion, there may be high-level or high-level magical beasts that can feel the existence of spores, but there will definitely be no magical beasts who care about the spores falling on their bodies, this kind of existence smaller than dust, will not become a threat in the eyes of any magical beast. And Shi Leiyin himself had never considered using these spore clones to affect the survival of those demonic beasts.

With these three considerations in mind, Shi Leiyin basically didn't hesitate too much and began to make a trial body of this spore form clone. After experimenting with a single cell body to a multicellular collection, Shi Leiyin decided to use the assemblage of fifteen individual cells as the body of his own spore clone. The reason for this is that the aggregate of ten cells seems to be the smallest unit that can accommodate the entry of one's own main consciousness. Somatic cells smaller than this number are simply not able to allow consciousness to enter and direct the cells to produce that phagoagotic fusion ability. The aggregate of fifteen individual cells can more effectively allow one's consciousness to interfere with the doppelganger, and this increase is close to a gradual line, and increasing the number of somatic cells will not greatly increase the control of the main consciousness over the doppelganger. Of course, before the number of cells increases to three times the size of the larval clone, the increase in the size of the clone will significantly increase Shi Leiyin's control over the clone. However, for Shi Leiyin's current requirements, the number of fifteen individual cells is the most appropriate.

Once the size of the spore clone is established, it is time to set the doppelganger's abilities. As a slime, Shi Lei Yin naturally has the best cell wall structure, which can ensure that every clone will not die due to being flooded or even stepped on by monsters. The flattened, flat flagella function externally as wings or oars, allowing the spore clones to drift or swim short distances in the water to a certain extent.

A multi-functional mouthpiece that specifically targets the space between cells is the top priority of Shi Leiyin's design this time. Due to the small size of the spore clone, this so-called mouthpart is nothing more than a special sharp form specially modified by Shi Leiyin with a somatic cell. By deliberately thickening the cell wall and by supplying energy to other cells to secrete a cell-destroying substance, this mouthpart allows the spore clone to penetrate the skin of any creature known to Shi Leiyin.

The increase in the ability to simulate magic means that the spore clones will not be defended by the exclusivity of their magic by the monsters known for their powerful magic power because of their different forms of magic - Shi Leiyin has not forgotten that he is now in a world of swords and magic, even if this world is microcosmically similar to the original world.

Finally, and most importantly, once this spore clone successfully enters the body of the demonic beast. Then, while the mouthparts absorb energy, the proliferation department will allow the entire doppelganger to multiply itself. This design was made by Shi Leiyin in order to better obtain the superior genetic information of which Warcraft. While it is possible to obtain that information with the spore clones themselves, they are still a little less efficient. Increasing to a certain size, the clone can not only provide better information, but also continue to go deep into the body of the host monster to obtain more accurate genetic information. And the most important point is that when the spore clone multiplies to a certain size, it will release a unique signal between the clones, which is not large, and basically changes as standard to be able to cover the body of the parasitic monster. The signal will cause those spore clones that have not yet parasitized to avoid the parasitic beast to avoid repeating the effect, and will also cause the other spore clones that have been parasitic on the body of this monster to move towards the spore clone that parasitized the earliest one, and merge into a single clone.
