In a gravel pile near the Soldier Ant Dasha's nest, Systm collects food on a dented block of stone, and then secretes [Corrosive Slime] to spray onto the food.

Since discovering that Dasha can dispatch ordinary worker ants, Systm no longer has to worry about getting food, and he no longer has to work hard to snatch ants every day.

He just sat back and waited for nearly a hundred worker ants to carry food from the ant nest as his free laborer.

Now it was no longer the time it took to snatch ordinary ants, but the speed at which he ate.

After all, he can't swallow his prey like a snake.

Eating by chewing will undoubtedly waste a lot of his time.

The solution that Systm came up with was to use his [Corrosive Slime] to digest the food outside his body, and then he would save him a lot of time by simply sucking the half-digested food with all his might.

After several upgrades, the amount of mucus that [Corroded Mucus] was able to secrete was enough to help him complete his in vitro digestion.

While there is some cost associated with secreting [corrosive slime] and recycling it, having nearly unlimited food for worker ants to carry is largely ignored.

The only thing Sistemm was worried about was that the carcasses of these different insects would taste strange when they were mixed with some mushrooms that had melted with the slime.

Fortunately, after Sistum tried it, he found that this was not the case.

The taste structure of grasshoppers is completely different from that of humans, and swallowing these liquids does not feel any peculiar smell, but rather feels delicious, with a mixed fruity yogurt feeling.

……

Sucking mucus makes his abdomen swell slightly, and Systham begins to brainwash the eggs of several ants brought by Dasha, the soldier ant.

The eggs of this black-brown ant are translucent white, slightly yellowish, about three millimeters in size, and faintly emit the characteristic acidic smell of ants.

Several ant eggs have different degrees of hatching, and some can see the outline of the newborn ant larvae inside through the outer layer of gelatin, and it is estimated that it will hatch in a short time; Others do not have a solid body of larvae, apparently a long time before the ants hatch.

Systm successively used [Psychic Transmission] to communicate with these ant eggs spiritually.

Unlike ant larvae, this kind of ant egg can send him an intimate feeling as if returning to his mother as long as his [telepathic transmission] is slightly connected.

The farther away the eggs are from the hatching time, the more intimate they are, but the weaker the mental power they give back.

And if it is the kind of insect egg that has just been laid by the queen ant, the larvae in the egg are not formed at all, and it will not have any effect on the [telepathic transmission] of the Sistem, and it is obvious that this kind of insect egg, like a plant, does not have any mind.

The eggs that are about to hatch, after six or seven minutes of hypnotizing by Systum, will see through Systm's lies, and then, like ordinary adult ants, will forever regard Systum as an enemy.

The eggs that have been hatching for a longer time can be tricked by Systm for a longer time, and it will take more than ten minutes before they realize that Systm is not their kind.

And unlike eggs that are about to hatch into larvae.

This kind of long time to hatch eggs will not permanently treat Heatham as an enemy.

As long as it sees Systran as an enemy, Systum continues to appease him with [teleportation], and after a while, they will believe that Systran is their queen again.

Of course, after a certain amount of time, they will realize that Systm is not of the same kind.

……

After brainwashing the ant eggs repeatedly, after a whole day, Systm gradually figured out the law of brainwashing these eggs.

Through continued communication with telekinesis, the eggs believed that his time had been significantly extended, and the degree and time of suspicion of him began to decrease.

If this trend is followed by uninterrupted [telepathic transmission] of insect eggs, Sistrom speculates that in about three days, he will be able to completely subdue an insect egg and become an existence like a soldier ant Dasha.

Although this method succeeded in realizing Sisstem's vision, and it should not be a problem to continue to collect hundreds of ants, this result was obviously not satisfactory to Sisstem.

The efficiency of using [Psychic Transmission] to brainwash these eggs is too low, he must keep an eye on these eggs at all times, once these eggs are suspicious of him, he needs to use [Teleportation] to appease him immediately.

Otherwise, if you don't appease it for a long time, the previous brainwashing effects on ant eggs will be useless.

So he had to keep an eye on the eggs for about three days, and he couldn't leave for too long.

It's okay to have only a few eggs, if the number of eggs is too large, it will not only make him unable to operate, but also accelerate the depletion of his mental power, so that he can't last for three days at all.

But in any case, at this time, Systham, who had plenty of food, actually had nothing to do.

As long as he eats with peace of mind on these days and waits for about 14 days, he will be able to reach level 12 and then undergo the third metamorphosis.

Heatham thought for a moment, brainwashing these eggs was obviously a better and more secure option than venturing out in search of edible magical creatures.

Tell Dasha to go to the anthill and steal a few eggs, and then let the soldier ant Dasha continue to lead the more than 100 worker ants to build a wintering nest for him.

Sistemm was busy around the rubble.

Discarding eggs that were too close and too far from hatching, Systm ended up with 13 eggs.

If the rate of 13 pieces at a time is removed, and the necessary rest period is removed, in a month or so, Sistemm will be able to obtain a hundred loyal ant men.

Of course, these subordinates may only be ant larvae, and they do not have much ability to move, and they need to be busy for a while.

Systm in turn uses [telepathy] to convey the intimate feelings of a mother to a child, and then responds to the feedback of these eggs one by one.

After a whole day of groping.

Brainwashing of insect eggs is already familiar with Sistem, and although 13 insect eggs are a little more, it is not impossible to complete.

Heatham carefully observed the eggs in front of him, and suddenly he noticed something, and a blue halo flashed from his compound eye.

[information reading] starts!

Systm carefully examined a few eggs, rubbing them with his hard feet, then putting the squeezed egg mucus into his mouth and tasting it.

Eventually, Systm was able to pick out a distinctive egg from these eggs, which had subtle patterns that were different from the other eggs, and the data displayed on [INFORMATION READ] indicated that this egg was different from the rest of the eggs.

Systm recalled some knowledge about ants in his previous life, and the ants in this world should have similar habits to those in his previous life.

In a nest of ants, the eggs laid by the queen ants can hatch four types of offspring, one of which is a male, known as a male, who mates with the queen or female and dies shortly after mating.

The other three species are females, namely females, soldier ants, and worker ants.

Females have the right to mate, and if they are lucky, they can build new nests to become new queens, usually with only one queen per nest.

Soldier ants and worker ants are incomplete female ants, although they are also females, they are unable to mate, soldier ants are mainly responsible for guarding the ant nest, and worker ants are responsible for all the chores in the anthill.

……

Systm stared at the ant, which was different from the other eggs, and the tentacles on his head kept shaking.

He couldn't tell if the eggs were soldiers, males, or females, but that didn't matter, and by noticing the difference in eggs, it undoubtedly opened a new door for Systham.

Why did he brainwash ordinary worker ants?

He could have brainwashed a female ant and then trained that female to become a queen.

If the queen ant sees him as one of his kind, then the queen's descendants are also very likely to see him as one of their kind.

He could take control of a new ant nest because of this!
