Continuing to use this [numerical template] ability on the ants of the ant people's eggs, Systm found that the cost of this template was even higher than the consumption of plant seeds.

The cost of giving a normal [Data Template] is not too much, and it is not much different from the seeds of plants, and it will only consume about 3% of experience.

However, if you copy the template of an ant egg growing into an ant larva and give it to another ant, the consumption of Systm's experience points will increase several times to dozens of times.

The higher the level of the ants copied by the [Data Template], the more experience will be consumed.

Although the weight of these experiences will gradually decrease as Sistm's level increases, for now, unless a lot of zombies appear to give experience, accumulating these experiences will take at least a few days of Sistm.

Unless he is an extremely gifted ant, it is unlikely that Sistemm will be able to use this ability.

And the growth template of one ant is forcibly applied to another ant, which may not be fully applicable, and it is likely to have a thankless result.

……

However, although the special ability of [Data Template] consumes too much, the [Tool Menu] attached to the ordinary [Data Template] is still very useful for ants with intelligence.

Sisstem was not stingy either, and began to give this ability to a dozen secondary pupal ants, including Shava and Blake.

The Ant Folk have a much more simplified [Tool Menu] than Sistum's [Tool Menu] ability.

There is no ability to store images, watch videos, or view self-information, only some small functions compiled by Syst with [Data Compilation], such as time, direction, length calculation, thermometer, calculator, and some mini-games compiled by Syst out of boredom when he was pupated.

Systham had thought that these little games would make his ant people curious and try to play them.

But in fact, except for the intelligent Blake, the other ants basically don't try to play these games, their intelligence is still very limited, and it is difficult to understand even the clock of time, let alone these complex games.

As for the reason why Shava, who is smart enough to play these games, doesn't play them, it's that Sheva has found one of her treasures from the [Tools Menu], the calculator.

Ever since figuring out how the calculator works, Sava would often pester Systm and ask him to ask her about addition and subtraction other than 6, much to Systham's annoyance.

To this end, Syst decisively increased the difficulty of the problem, turning the direct addition and subtraction problem into a relatively complex mathematical problem, and then asked Shava about it.

For example, there are 31 grass seeds, 5 of which you eat today, 8 more tomorrow, then 15 of them, 3 of them are lost, and how many are left in the end.

With just a few steps to the problem, Sava can't figure out the result even with a calculator.

Sava pondered for an hour about the grass seeds, and finally replied to Systham: "If there is one more day, I will eat all these grass seeds!" ”

At this point, Sava no longer showed Sistemm her rapid math skills, but began to pester Blake or Butterfly Ora to show off her numeracy skills.

……

……

Winter in the Warren Plains is very calm, and it is still the same as usual, with the occasional zombie or two wandering zombies coming to Sistum's lair to contribute to Sistum's lair.

The first eggs produced by Linda the queen finally hatched after seven days, and they began to compete to eat the gelatin of the slimes controlled by Linda the queen ant.

After a brief examination, Systham estimated that in just four or five days, the ant larvae would turn into pupae and then become adult ants.

And in the time of these days, Systm finally met and captured a live gray mouse, nearly twenty centimeters in size.

And also caught a black bird that Sava said, a raven that eats carrion.

By getting up close and personal with the zombie rats, Systham finally understands why the Warren Plains have changed so dramatically over the course of a year, and why there are so many undead creatures.

Unlike zombie rats, which are indifferent to bugs, when zombie rats are close to ten meters away from live mice, zombie rats will rush towards the live rat like crazy and bite it.

When a zombie rat bites a live mouse, the live rat will be infected with plague germs and a special energy that emits a rotten smell.

After more than ten hours, the live rat gradually died of purple-black pus and blood due to the plague germs, and then after a day or so, the dead rat was transformed into a zombie rat and struggled to get up from the ground.

The lethal effect of the plague germ and the death toxin attached to the zombies are perfectly combined, making up for each other's shortcomings, and it is this way that the plague germs and the undead can spread to such a point in the Warren Plains.

As for the other crow caught by Systm, it is another creature in the Warren Plains that is not affected by the plague and the breath of death, except for bugs and reptiles.

Although this crow can also be attacked by zombie rats, its body is completely immune to the effects of plague germs, and the zombie flesh containing the breath of death will not affect it, but will become its food.

If it weren't for Systham's action to catch the crow, the crow would have been eating carrion in the vicinity for a long time.

……

After observing the time on the [Tools menu] for a while, Systham fiddled with the crow in his tentacle for a while, and once again tied the crow back with straw rope, deciding to eat the crow for a later supper.

"That's about the time."

At around 11:15 a.m., every time for the past three days, there would be an inexplicable eerie cry in the lair.

In fact, it can't be said to be a scream, but more like a kind of spiritual ability similar to his [Spiritual Connection], sending out some disturbing and desperate mental fluctuations.

This strange mental fluctuation caused the Ant Knights of Heatham to become a little confused and angry, while the newborn ant larvae produced by Linda the Queen appeared anxious and uneasy.

According to a sighting transmitted by a worker ant rider using [Psychic Connection], the thing that emits this mental fluctuation should use a white spirit that resembles a ghost.

According to Blake's words, this white spirit appeared half a year ago, appeared for more than ten days, and was later dispersed by Aura because of its appearance in Ora's room.

……

Although it was the first time he had encountered such a ghost, Syst did not feel any fear, but felt very irritated.

The noisy ghost was like a buzzing fly, and all Systm could think of was catching the screaming fly and finding a way to kill it if he couldn't.

The white spirit seemed to be hiding in his lair, and for the past three days, it would appear near his secondary pupa ants, and after arousing the ants' anger, they would travel through the dirt walls and then hide.

Sistemm thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why this ghost had sneaked into the nest to find trouble with the ants.

But just after communicating with Blake today and remembering the pattern of the ghost's appearance half a year ago.

Sistemm discovers that the ghost is attracted to nothing else, but the wisdom born of these ants who have chrysalis twice.
