Chapter 41: Perception
Thinking back to his vague memories at that time, Systham clicked on the database in the [Tools menu].
He wanted to check the image of the white world, and the unknown sound he heard, the voice of the world.
However, Sistemm searched several times, but there was no record of any sound of the world.
Like the image that the grasshopper queen sent to him, the sound of the world is a very vague thing
However, although he still knows nothing about the voice of the world, there is some inexplicable information in his mind-
When everything reaches its limit, it will be given by the world and transformed into a magical life. And when magical beings reach their limits, they transcend the mundane and become transcendent beings......
This message is a sentence that Syst has compiled based on his own understanding, and this is the approximate meaning.
The extra information in my mind does not exist in the form of words, but in the form of something that is formed by the mixture of musical notes and spiritual messages, distant and mysterious, and I feel like listening to music.
Heatham felt that this information was incomplete, that there seemed to be a lot of things missing, and that there seemed to be a higher life form above the transcendent.
He himself is supposed to be between the mortal and the magical, but there is no more explanation in the message.
Although it is mentioned in the message that the beings who have been given by the world will transform into magical beings, there is no clear explanation of how and what will become after the transformation.
Systm could only feel the special energy that was free in the air clearer, and it was easier to absorb this free energy.
"Maybe it becomes a magical life, and it can continue to live longer, just like dragons, vampires, elves or something in the game world, but unfortunately, I still know too little about this world."
Regardless, Heatham has found his way forward, and his next step is to try to become a magical being.
……
Fiddling with his slender tentacles, Systm looked around, and suddenly realized that Shava, the soldier ant who had been tortured and disabled by rats, was not here.
Heatham shook his tentacles slightly, and in the dark, he felt that the soldier Sava seemed to be alive, and there was no danger to his life.
This kind of subtle sensing is not Sisstem's random guesswork, but a special ability like the dirt that has just escaped the cave.
Just as Kun obtained the peculiar ability of [telepathy] through the sound of the world, Sistemm obtained a very peculiar ability through the sound of the world—[perception].
And from the talent [Perception], Sistemm gains several powerful derivative abilities, [Eye of Sistem], [Intuition], [Enhanced Hearing], [Enhanced Sense of Smell].
He had been able to dodge the dirt falling from the cave and sense that Shava was alive thanks to his newly acquired derivative [intuition].
……
Perception (11/26): Given to Sistemm by an unknown force. It is possible to gain a deeper understanding of things. The unique power of the Systham.
[Eye of the Systm] (17/30): A special ability that integrates [Perception], [Numeric Code], [Insect Adaptability], [Metamorphosis], [Enhanced Vision], [Keen Vision], and [Dark Vision]. Dramatically improved eyesight. The unique power of the Systham.
[Intuition] (12/21): A derivative ability obtained from [Perception], [Insect Adaptability], and [Insect Intuition]. Possess the unique ability to perceive changes in things without being controlled by one's own will.
[Enhanced Hearing] (11/15): A derivative ability derived from [Perception]. Hearing is strengthened.
[Enhanced Sense of Smell] (11/16): A derivative ability derived from [Perception]. The sense of smell is enhanced.
……
When he had just woken up at the end of the third metamorphosis, Systm had not yet noticed it.
Sistemm only now realized that perhaps because of the [Eye of Sistem], the cave that had been somewhat dim to him before was now like daylight.
His eyesight is incomparably fresh, he can see dust particles in the air, and even has a faint ability to see the white blood flowing from the body of an ant larvae.
Sistemm shook the slender tentacles on his head, feeling his body carefully, and he found that many of his abilities had increased to varying degrees compared to before the transformation.
Systham opened the [Tools Menu] and scrutinized the changes in his body after the third metamorphosis.

……
Observing the information in the [Tools Menu], Heatham found that the lifespan he had been so concerned about had indeed increased, and it was more than a year longer than the Queen's three-year lifespan, and it seemed that each grasshopper had a different increase from its third metamorphosis.
It is more obvious than the second metamorphosis, after the third metamorphosis, not only has Sistum's physical fitness been further improved, but his various abilities have also increased to varying degrees.
Systm looked at the dozen or so ant larvae around him, and activated the [Psychic Connection] to connect with the ant larvae spirit.
The ant larvae conveyed feelings of joy and reassurance, as well as a feeling of hunger.
If the time recorded in the [Tools menu] is correct, then his metamorphosis lasted for two full days.
Heatham gently soothed the ant larvae with his spirit, then plucked all the shimmering mushrooms in the cave with his tentacles and fed them to the ant larvae.
Because of his newly acquired ability [Eye of Sistem], even if there is no light, he is like day in the dark, and these mushrooms are no longer needed.
As for the blind ant larvae and worker ants, there is no need for such a weak light source.
And just as Syst was feeding the mushrooms to the ant larvae, Syst suddenly used [Psychic Transmission] and [Psychic Connection] to feel some unusual faint emotions.
Systham shook his tentacles and searched around with his eyes.
It didn't take long for him to discover what was coming from that faint emotion.
The faint emotions are the mushrooms that glow as shimmers, and as these mushrooms are swallowed into the stomach by the ant larvae, the fungi that form the mushrooms emit a faint and painful emotions as they die.
The third metamorphosis caused Sistem's [Psychic Teleportation] (6/22) to be upgraded to [Telekinesis] (8/22).
Because of the increase in talent level, in addition to communicating with plants and insects, this ability obviously has a new communication object - fungus.
If the ability of [Telekinesis] continues to improve, it will definitely be able to communicate with more species.
……
After transporting a dozen ant larvae to a nearby granary room full of food, Systham found that the passage he had built was a little narrower for his current body, and it seemed that the time would have for Shava's ant construction team to expand the passage of the wintering nest a little more.
Systm jumped out of the makeshift lair several times in a row......
