Zhou Rui has always had a strong interest in ants, likes to study the habits of various ants, and likes to raise and watch them.

So for this kind of creature that ordinary people don't care too much about at all, and even some dislike it, as long as he sees it, he will subconsciously take a few looks, and then connect with the relevant knowledge in his memory.

It's like some car fans, when they see a more special model, they will judge in their minds, from a wheel, a rear window, a fender can guess what brand, what model of car, listen to the roar of the engine to know which engine, and even the corresponding model, how many cylinders, how much horsepower, how much maximum torque, and efficiency curves will pop up in the mind.

And if there is a mismatch between the sound of the engine, the shape of the exhaust pipes, the details of the car or the tail marking, it will immediately clear that the car has been modified.

But creatures are not like cars, they can't be modified, they are what they are, otherwise they are big discoveries.

At this time, Zhou Rui had a feeling of "great discovery".

The hymenopteran insect lying on the back of the chair was at first glance empirically identified as a colonizer of some kind of ant, and from the size of its buttocks, it was initially judged to be a "princess" (a female breeding ant during the mating period).

After getting closer and taking a closer look, and from its color and shape, it was guessed that it should be a pseudo-light-bellied archback ant, which was mostly distributed in Sichuan, Shu, Guangdong, and Hunan and Chu provinces, but it was not strange to see it in Haixi Province.

But after looking at it twice, Zhou Rui found that this hymenopteran insect did not seem to be a breeding ant of ordinary ants.

In addition to its normal two antennae, its head also has two very thin long whiskers, which is very wrong!

Moreover, its wings are also abnormal, with very obvious and complex veins on them, and the size of the wings themselves is much smaller than the wings of the ordinary light-bellied archback ant "Princess", which cannot completely cover its tail, making people wonder if it can fly.

Zhou Rui slowly pinched the ant and observed it carefully.

Then he was stunned to find that under the wide and short wings, there were also a few things similar to the long whiskers on the top of the head, clinging to the side of his body.

What is this? Parasite?

And the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this ant had a strange sense of disharmony.

Not only was he relying on his knowledge of ants to make judgments, but he also thought of the ants he had accidentally glimpsed on the main peak when he was investigating the incident of the "giant bird of prey" attacking tourists in Wushu Mountain.

At that time, he also caught a glimpse of an ant and burrowed into the ground, just like now.

The ant was of the same species as the ants he kept at home, and it was relatively rare, unlike the bare-bellied archback ant, which was almost impossible to find in the wild in Hercynian Province, so he immediately went to rummage through the places where the ants had burrowed, and looked for anthills or other ants in the same colony.

But in the end, he couldn't find the ant he saw, but instead helped Dr. Fang discover that the main peak of Wushu Mountain was completely free of ants.

"This one...... Breeding ants?" asked Micho, who also walked over, standing beside him, looking at the ants in his hand.

She also immediately thought of the "invisible insect" that could only fly and was captured by the "giant bird of prey".

According to the analysis of the footage taken by Dr. Fang and Zhou Rui through infrared thermal imaging equipment, the "invisible insect" is also an insect of the order Hymenoptera, and its head is closer to the morphology of an ant.

"It's a little weird, and I want to take it back and study it. Zhou Rui said, and the three of them ended their shopping activities in advance and turned back to the parking place.

At this time, the sky began to rain again.

What the three of them didn't notice was that on the second floor of the "Youlong Hotel" where they had just eaten, a bald man stood by the window, looking at them through his glasses and the window.

This person is naturally Xiang Kun.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Mi Qiao, Zhou Rui and others would come to the "Youlong Hotel" to eat today.

It has been two weeks since he and Lao Xia, Tang Baona, and Yang Zhen'er arrived in Tongshi Town.

Soon after arriving, Zhang Qian and Zicheng were also "called" to come over to meet together, and then with You Meng and Liu Caifu, they had a final discussion on how the game project would work, and the other "shareholders" who were not present also entrusted Zhang Qian or Zicheng.

In fact, the main content has been discussed by Tang Baona on behalf of Xiang Kun and Zhang Qian before, and the others are basically based on the will of the two of them, at most they give some opinions on the details.

For others, this is like being good friends together, everyone doing something together and participating in a share, which is essentially a sense of participation, mainly trusting Xiang Kun or Zhang Qian.

This matter was quickly resolved, Zhang Qian directly took people to Pengcheng to set up an operation team, set up the company, and at the same time prepare for the launch of the game.

After Xiang Kun rearranged all the main dishes and posted several videos on the Internet in a row, they began to link the online "You Long Rabbit" and the offline "You Long Hotel".

In addition to arranging people to deliberately "human flesh" out of the store opened by "Youlong Play Rabbit", several anchors and Internet celebrities from Haixi Province were also arranged to visit the store to create topics and do publicity.

Because the people invited are not very big, but there are some well-known anchors in this province, so they don't spend much money.

However, after returning to Tongshi Town, Xiang Kun made four Q versions of "egg yolk pie" wood carvings with the emotions recorded in Star City when the little chubby girl ate the rabbit meat he made before drinking blood, and placed them around the store, together with the twelve yellow people who had been placed in the store before.

These wood carvings actually look very different from the real "egg yolk pie", not only are they Q versioned, but each wood carving cat has several pairs of wings carved on it, and each cat is eating different foods such as chicken legs or ice cream, which looks very cute.

In addition to being cute, these four wood carvings, like the Twelve Yellow People, can have an emotional impact on the people in the hotel under the stimulation of Xiang Kun.

Therefore, those anchors and Internet celebrities who visited the store, although they have been greeted and invited, when they really eat the dishes, under the influence of emotions, they will have a performance that exceeds expectations.

These performances not only brought very good live broadcast effects and program effects, but also allowed those anchors and Internet celebrities to recommend and evaluate from the bottom of their hearts, further creating topic heat and dissemination.

In addition, other local diners who come to eat by chance will also be affected by emotions, which will bring a good word-of-mouth communication effect, so although the "Youlong Hotel" was officially opened only a week ago, it will soon start queuing up at the time of the meal, and the business is very good.

You Meng and his wife have even begun to apply to Xiang Kun to open a branch in this town.

Wait until the passenger flow and reputation of the hotel have stabilized, Xiang Kun no longer needs to stimulate the cat wood carving to guide the emotions of diners every meal, after all, he originally adjusted these dishes for the restaurant, the taste is very good, and it is also very suitable for the taste of the locals.

After the opening of the hotel, Tang Baona and Yang Zhener also went to Pengcheng to carry out follow-up cooperation with Zhang Qian on behalf of Xiang Kun.

During this time, in addition to drinking blood twice under the cover of Lao Xia, Xiang Kun also did a lot of things in the study of his own mutation.

The main thing is to try to find a way to influence other organisms with the ability of "mutant parasites" and the "family planning" model.

Xiang Kun hopes to strengthen the self-protection ability and influence of "Golden Flash" in the outside world, for example, so that it has the ability to influence others without the presence of "Little Apple", and when it is instructed by "Little Apple", it can invoke "Eight Arms and Eight Eyes Wood Carving" and other "love objects".

But if he wants to conduct an experiment, it is definitely impossible to directly carry out the "Golden Shining", since it has a name, its meaning to Xiang Kun is already different, and it is an existence that cannot be replaced by other canaries in this world.

Therefore, Xiang Kun needs to do a good job of experimenting on other creatures first, and only after figuring out the pattern, ensuring the success rate, knowing the side effects, and finding a way to avoid it will he use "Golden Flash".

At the beginning, Xiang Kun tried to use the experimental mice bought by Lao Xia, but he couldn't find a way to influence it.

So he began to try to link the mice into the "Super Sense Item System" like "Golden Shining" and "Egg Yolk Pie", but still failed.

Lao Xia suggested that he try other creatures, and he took the suggestion, and the two of them went from Chongyun Village to the depths of the northern mountains with Lao Xia, and wandered for two whole days, "teasing" almost all the animals they found.

In order to better "transform" those animals, the two of them also supplemented a lot of relevant biological knowledge, and had a basic understanding of most of the animal species, characteristics, and habits in this mountainous area.

And every time they "molest" an animal, they both have to combine theory and practice, and then study it carefully.

It's a pity that most of the animals, Xiang Kun couldn't find a way to carry out "parasitic influence" through the "Super Sense Item System", and he couldn't establish a link to pull them into the "Super Sense Item System".

In the end, on the way back, he was already ready to give up this attempt, and Xiang Kun, who had been thinking about it for a long time, accidentally succeeded in influencing an ant in a "super sensory state".

Xiang Kun wasn't sure if it was because the ants were special, or if he just found a corresponding method at that time.

The transformation Xiang Kun gave to the ant was also very small, just to make it a little bigger, and the muscles in the head that control the jaw became stronger, and the change was less than 10%, and it was done in a few hours.

But although the ant was successfully transformed by Xiang Kun, it was unable to receive his orders, and frantically attacked the other ants, and then died after a period of killing.

Judging from the individual trials, the outcome was naturally a failure. But in terms of the overall purpose of the trial, it was a successful start.
