Chapter 236: The Queen of Ants
The battle in the canyon lasted all morning.
Ling Ping'an finally smiled.
The first auxiliary national server is the first to start!
Putting down the phone, he stretched!
"In the canyon, there are no regrets!" He triumphantly declared.
And this also means that he may not be playing the game again in the near future.
Because......
He's going to have to start working his new book!
If you don't write a new book, and when your aunt comes back, you really have to be prepared to live a hard life.
So, the young online writer went upstairs, took the ring watch, and then scratched the 'Nightmare Legend Clan Commander' on his mobile phone, he wanted to enter the family land again and began to look for inspiration.
……………………………………
In the middle of summer in Kyoto, the sun is scorching.
Walk through this ancient city, where modernity and tradition are intertwined.
Buildings from 1,000 years ago, 500 years ago, 300 years ago, 200 years ago abound.
From the culture brought back by the Tang envoys to the modern industry brought back by the Xia envoys.
All are embodied in this ancient city.
Li An'an and Chu Weiwei walked on the narrow saka road, which is the three-year saka in Kyoto.
If you look up, you will see Kiyomizu-dera Temple on Mt. Otowa.
It is an ancient temple and one of the most famous temples in Fuso.
On the ancient Shinto, women dressed in traditional Fuso costumes walk by with clogs.
These are the people who go to Kiyomizudera Temple to pray for blessings.
"Captain...... Can we really find a seed like this? Chu asked in a low voice.
Li Anan nodded confidently: "It must be possible!" ”
"If it doesn't work today, it will be tomorrow, and if it doesn't work tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... Someday, we can find them! ”
Just find one, and you can find many.
And then uproot this humanoid alien!
Even finding the source of their birth and pinching off the source can prevent their rebirth.
This is the experience of the Federal Empire in the suppression of zombies.
Later, it was further certified in the case of mandrills in Silla!
Chu listened slightly, but was in a trance: "How much time does it take?" ”
Li Anan smiled and said, "It won't be long before ......"
"Since they eat people, they will definitely commit crimes again!"
She looked at the nearby alley: "And this is a good place to commit the crime......"
Three-year-old, two-year-old......
All of them are famous Shinto in Kyoto, and most of the people who come and go are women.
Moreover, the buildings here are old and the streets are dark, making it the best hiding place for the aliens.
"Huh!" Li Anan suddenly turned around: "A coffee shop? ”
"There's a coffee shop in a place like this?" She grabbed Chu Weiwei and walked towards the coffee shop that was open deep in the alley on the Shinto side.
When they got closer, the two saw the signboard: Kamiyo Coffee Shop.
Obviously, this is a shop with a family name as its name.
This is very common in Fuso.
"Let's go in and have a drink and have a taste!" Li Anan said, and pulled Chu Weiwei in.
As soon as they entered the door, the two of them immediately found out, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at them.
It's all the customers in this coffee shop.
Most of them are wearing Fuso's school uniforms, and they don't look very old.
"A group of children...... Li Anan smiled, pulling Chu Weiwei to a table by the window and sitting down.
A Fuso girl, holding the menu, came to the two of them.
She looked at Li An'an and Chu Weiwei, and naturally knew that these two were tourists, and they were tourists from that powerful country.
So, she immediately asked in the federal language, "Two guests, what do you need?" ”
"Have your most iconic coffee and dessert here!" Li Anan said magnificently.
Her salary, which has been promoted to major, has skyrocketed!
I don't care much about expenses at all.
Anyway, she doesn't have any worries and pressures!
"Okay!" The waiter immediately took the menu and walked to the service desk.
Saying something to the man who seemed to be the store manager, the man looked up at the two women from the Federal Empire sitting in the window.
His brow furrowed immediately.
"Don't make trouble!" He lowered his voice: "We can't afford to mess with these people!" ”
"Hello!" The waiter bowed deeply and went to work with the plate.
However, the rest of the people in this coffee shop are all calm, not knowing what they are thinking?
……………………………………
Ling Ping'an looked at his invisible body like a cloud, floating around in this game world.
Even though it was the second time, he still found it interesting.
So, with his mind, he built a statue in his image on the bank of the river.
It's just a pity that he is face blind and really lacks artistic cells.
So this statue looks weird.
"Alas......" he waved his hand lightly and scattered the statue, "Let's go to the so-called creation base and see how to create species......
So, he floated gently towards the huge base that stood at the bend of the river.
His body floated like green smoke, drifting to the vicinity of the base, and the doors that seemed to be made of some kind of metal immediately sensed his arrival, and all of them were open.
An electromechanical voice came from the base: "Welcome! Great hosts! ”
Ling Ping'an listened and laughed: "There is still intelligent control? Pretty real......"
However, he didn't bother to pay attention to these small things.
Because he came this time to create life and find material for his new book.
Gotta hurry!
So, his shadow floated in gently.
As if he knew how to go, he drifted straight into a large metal chamber, just like the auto-pathfinding settings of an old online game.
The light doors open automatically.
"This seems to be the so-called 'basic biological cultivation component'......" Ling Ping'an looked at the facility in front of him that was full of futuristic science fiction, but it seemed a little weird and unharmonious, he thought: "Let me see, how is it manipulated?" ”
His figure floated under a suspended hood.
Looking at this hood, his eyes saw countless possibilities.
At this moment, he seemed to understand something.
As soon as the mind moved, one by one strange instruments began to work.
"I see! I see! After trying it for a while, Ling Ping'an understood: "Is it a mind-based way of manipulating thoughts?" ”
"It seems that this virtual reality game technology has improved again!"
In the past, he still had to go through the game's hints and guidance to know how to operate.
But now, looking at everything in front of him, it felt familiar.
It seems that it is born to understand how to manipulate and guide, and it seems that it has been imbued with certain knowledge.
Undoubtedly, this must be the technology of the game, which has made a breakthrough!
"We'll find out until the next nightmare game......" he thought.
He began to manipulate the equipment in front of him, and after a while, he roughly understood the function of the facilities in this place and how to operate them.
It is a large facility for the anatomy, analysis, extraction, and cultivation of life.
is similar to the gene factory in science fiction that Ling Ping'an has seen.
It enables the extraction, analysis, and cultivation of specific biological genes for any desired dissection and analysis.
Genes can also be modified in a targeted manner.
To put it simply, it's the equivalent of a collection of evil technologies that are often used by villains in sci-fi and games.
"So what should be done?" He thought.
"Well, let's find a sample first......"
He remembered that the last time he had seen the guidance and bells and whistles in the Nightmare Legend Command, he had spent countless nightmare bonds, and finally foolishly transformed a new species.
But he's going to use it as material.
So, you can't do that.
Moreover, there are no ready-made high-level creatures in this land world.
In addition to plants, there seem to be only a few simple insects moving here.
He thought for a moment, "Let's go find some insects!" ”
So, his smoky body floated out.
It didn't take long for a few termites to be found in the ground outside this creation base and floated back.
……………………………………………………
Li Anan and Chu Weiwei, patting their slightly full bellies, walked out of the coffee shop.
"It tastes so good!" Li Anan said: "If you have the chance, you can come again!" ”
Chu nodded slightly: "Hmm!" ”
"Then, let's move on!" Li Anan raised his hand and said confidently: "I hope to have a harvest today!" ”
"Hmm!"
The two of them held hands and walked forward.
The sun fell on them, and the two slender shadows were reflected on the bluestone slab of the three years.
Behind them, a sneaky figure poked its head out.
"Two prey with abundant psionic powers?" He couldn't help but lick his lips.
Tears seemed to be about to flow down the corners of his mouth.
"They're not for you to move!" A woman walked up behind her.
"They're blackguards!"
"If we move them, we will all die!"
The woman recalled the great battle she had seen years ago!
In front of Tamamo, such a powerful demon was broken by that terrible man and resealed!
And that man is just a lieutenant general of the Black Guard.
Among the black-clothed guards, there is also a governor who claims to be 'even a god will kill you'!
"But......" The sneaky man turned his head and looked at the woman in front of him, "If we don't do it, others will do it......"
"Big sister!"
"I said no, I just can't!" Behind the woman, four huge sharp objects grew, standing up like tails, and her long hair fluttered like steel needles.
"Okay......" Seeing that the eldest sister was angry, he had no choice but to lower his head: "You have the final say!" ”
"I told you ......"
"We're too weak now......"
"You must keep your head down!"
It has only been ten years since the emergence of the meow species, although it has developed rapidly and its members have been increasing.
However, they are still too weak and weak relative to human society.
Even civilians can harm them when they are armed, let alone powerful transcendents.
Just think about the demons that are now sealed.
She understands that clamping her tail is the most correct choice.
……………………………………
Ling Ping'an looked at the giant termites lying quietly in an instrument.
It's the size of a fist.
This is also the result of his transformation today.
Using the facilities in this game, the reproductive ability of termites will be continuously enhanced.
Eventually, this finished product appeared.
Its huge belly was bulging and bulging.
There are countless termite eggs inside.
The only problem is......
"I seem to have done something wrong......" he looked at the result, slightly disappointed.
Because there is only such a successful work.
So, this queen ant does not have a male ant that can mate with.
So here's the problem......
Can ants reproduce parthenogenesis?
It seems that it can't!
So, was this attempt a failure?
Ling Ping'an looked at the game time that was about to enter the countdown, and he had to use his ingenuity to find a strategy.
Finally, he came up with a great idea!
"Why not?"
He remembered the documentary he had seen that the sexes reproduced for biodiversity and genetic improvement.
In doing so, the offspring can be genetically better.
After all, hermaphroditism allows offspring to acquire genes from their parents.
In other words......
"As long as this termite can devour the genes of other kinds, won't it be able to achieve the purpose of reproduction?"
This idea seems absurd.
But it's a game, and besides, this game facility happens to have genetic modification technology in it!
So, Ling Ping'an immediately seized the time and stuffed the ant queen he had cultivated with great difficulty into an instrument.
His smoke-like body, after some scrambling operations, modified the queen's genes through a certain instrument.
It's just that this revision takes a bit long.
It takes eighteen hours!
Ling Ping'an thought about it, and saw that the advent time for him to spend 100,000 nightmare bonds to redeem it had arrived, so he quit the game.
Opening his eyes, Ling Ping'an looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.
Meow!
His pet jumped into his arms and affectionately welcomed his owner back from the game.
Ling Ping'an reminisced about his experience in the game.
Then he put the kitten on the counter: "Little girl, play by yourself Ha......"
"Brother is going to work hard to make money......"
Well, you have to make enough money to buy butter crabs before October.
Otherwise...... When that aunt comes back, he will probably use his own living expenses to offset the bill!
"By the way......" Ling Ping'an suddenly thought of something: "Are there still butter crabs in October?" ”
Seems to be gone?
Butter crabs only seem to appear during the hottest two months of summer.
"So...... Can I save? ”
"That's not right!" He immediately shook his head: "I'm afraid the bleeding will be even more!" ”
Without butter crab, he would have to find other, top-notch ingredients to offset his bill.
It's a matter of principle!
If you promise someone else, you must do it.
Since there will be no butter crab at that time, it will be necessary to use ingredients that are more precious than butter crab to offset the bill.
So, he looked at the computer screen.
He knew that the burden on his shoulders was heavy again.
