After waiting for a full two days, Bai Yi finally reached the evening of the fourth day in this world, gathering a maximum of 450 Magic Power Value.
During these two days, Bai Yi fed the giant tree 10 units of Blood Flesh each day, obtaining an extra tree fruit from it.
Thanks to the swarm's hunting in the southern part of the territory, Bai Yi's level also reached level 16.
She allocated all free attribute points to Spirit and began the final Genetic Fusion.
[Current gene matches well with the target, fusion requires 450 Magic Power Value, proceed with fusion?]
[Gene fusion complete, congratulations on creating a new species: Unnamed (First-tier/Golden)]
[Unnamed] (First-tier/Golden)
Life Value: 250/250
Magic Power Value: 620/620
Level: lv.20 (1st Rank)
Attributes: Strength 10, Spirit 12 (+50), agility 25, Constitution: 15
Talents:
(new!) Unlimited Regeneration (Golden): Greatly increases growth speed, can consume Magic Power and stored Nutrition to quickly repair body damage, recover Life Value, eliminates fatal weaknesses, Life Value limit +100.
(new!) Destructive Poison (Golden): Injects powerful toxins through the bee sting, causing 5 points of corrosive damage per second, and judging against the target's Constitution attribute. If the Constitution attribute is below 25, it causes paralysis for 3 seconds.
This effect can stack, each stack increases judgment value by 2 and adds 5 extra points of corrosive damage, stacking up to 10 layers.
Swarm Consciousness (Golden): The swarm has a group consciousness. Each time the group reaches (10, 100, 1000...), unlocks corresponding attribute corrections and additional abilities, increasing the intelligence of the Swarm Consciousness. Current correction:
[Gain 50 Spirit correction, collection speed +200%, work efficiency +200%, gain extra skill: Wing Flapping (Blue)]
Hive Expert (Purple): Worker Bees actively seek materials to expand and repair the hive, slowly reducing hive upgrade requirements.
Skills:
Wing Flapping (Blue): The swarm synchronizes its consciousness, performs high-frequency wing flapping, releases mental interference, conducts a Spirit Attribute judgment against the target. If less than 31, it causes dizziness to the target, reducing hit rate by 50%.
Collection (Blue): Even after mutation, collection skills remain, automatically collecting building materials and pollen while in Swift Swimming state.
Brewing (Blue): Consumes collected pollen to brew [Giant Bee Honey] (1st Rank/Purple), continuous consumption can further brew into more effective [Royal Jelly] (1st Rank/Golden).
Stinger (Green): Executes a quick sting, injecting destructive poison into the target, causing 20 points of physical damage ignoring defensive power.
(new!) Poison Liquid Spray (Blue): Uses the bee sting to quickly spray extremely destructive poison, causing 5 points of corrosive damage per second over 5 seconds, this damage doubles against armor.
(new!) Rapid Regeneration (Golden): Gains an additional 200 Nutrition Value limit, eating food recovers Nutrition Value, consuming 5 points of Nutrition Value or Magic Power recovers 10 Life Value, maximum of 50 Life Value per second.
Bee Dance (Golden): Cooperates with companions for a coordinated hunt, with each companion dealing 20 points of physical damage ignoring defensive power to the target. When companion numbers reach (10, 20... 100), each attack deals an additional (2, 4... 20) points of physical damage.
[The increasingly abnormal "Little Bee"]
"It worked!"
If it weren't for the rarity limit being only Gold, Bai Yi would've thought the current Giant Bee could definitely have several more "+" after Gold.
The fusion of Corrosive Mucus and Acid Secretion advanced the Giant Bee's neurotoxin talent to Gold.
It evolved into the current Destructive Poison.
This directly elevated the Giant Bee's Attack Power to a higher level!
Unlimited Regeneration further enhanced the Giant Bee's survival ability to epic levels. As long as it's not killed instantly, it's essentially an immortal cockroach!
[Your unit type Killing Giant Bee underwent an unknown change, generate corresponding building modification? After modification, Killing Giant Bee Hive (1st Rank/Golden) will transform into [Unnamed] Hive (1st Rank/Golden)]
The final fusion was complete, Bai Yi pressed on the building modification without holding back.
[This modification requires consuming 1st Rank Crystal Core*20/2nd Rank Crystal Core*1, proceed with modification?]
A river in the south of the territory often saw First-tier Mutant Creatures coming to drink water. After these two days of hunting, Bai Yi had collected 57 1st Rank Crystal Cores.
It was just that the beetle nest modification in the morning consumed 30 of those, and the remaining 27 were still enough for upgrading.
[Modifying... Modification complete]
[Name the new building?]
Naming is something Bai Yi had prepared mentally for these past two days.
"From today, you are the Destruction Giant Bees!"
[Destruction Giant Bee Hive (1st Rank/Golden):]
[Destruction Giant Bee Hive (1st Rank/Golden): Consumes fresh Blood Flesh to recruit (reproduce) units [Destruction Giant Bee], upgrade requires: Wood*100, Honey*400, Second Tier Crystal Core*3, Fresh Blood Flesh*400, hive houses 100 Worker Bees (100/100)]
"The materials for upgrades have more than doubled, but it's not a big problem.
It's just a pity that the transformation couldn't change the original swarm along with it."
Although genetic fusion, like Accelerated Growth, could be applied to a certain range of creatures, it ended up transforming only 20 Giant Bees.
The rest of the Giant Bees would have to be dealt with in the future.
After this transformation, Giant Bee reproduction only took one minute.
Bai Yi didn't rush to breed the Destruction Giant Bees immediately but looked towards the neighboring Poison Blood Beetle Nest.
Poison Blood Beetle was the new name for the modified Bloodthirsty Beetle.
Neurotoxin, Acid Secretion, and Corrosive Mucus fused on the beetle mutated into a golden talent called Poison Blood.
This flowed through the beetle's body with highly corrosive blood.
With regeneration abilities, each beetle could instantly turn into a self-destructing mini truck.
Though the impact wasn't high, once it engaged,
it could perform a Blood Splash performance in moments!
After integrating all the genes this morning, it successfully promoted to a golden unit type.
This gave Bai Yi a huge surprise.
[Poison Blood Beetle](1st Rank/Golden)
Life Value: 250/250
Magic Power Value: 560/560
Level: lv.20 (1st Rank)
Attributes: Strength 10, Spirit 6 (+50), agility 20, Constitution 15
Talents:
Hard Armor (Green): Insect Shell protects the Bloodthirsty Beetle, reducing 5 points of physical damage
(new!) Poison Blood (Golden): Body flows with toxic blood, possessing strong corrosive and paralytic effects, causing powerful corrosion and paralysis to contaminated targets, inflicting 5 points of corrosive damage per second to the target.
(new!) Desperate Will (Purple): Non-fatal injuries cannot kill the Poison Blood Beetle, allowing it to continue acting until complete Death, Life Value +150.
(new!) Swarm Consciousness (Golden): Queen (Bai Yi) ascended to Swarm Consciousness, connecting with the swarm. Each time the group reaches (10, 100, 1000...), unlocks corresponding attribute corrections and additional abilities, providing bonuses to Swarm Consciousness. Current correction:
[Stage 2: Swarm Spirit Attribute +50, Swarm Consciousness (Bai Yi) gains 25 points Spirit damage immunity, judgment value +50 during spiritual judgment]
Skills:
Bloodthirst (Green): After consuming Blood Flesh, entering a bloodthirsty state, Strength +20%, agility +20%
(new!) Swarm Battle Technique (Golden): Cooperates with companions in a coordinated hunt, with each companion dealing 30 points of physical damage to the target. When companion numbers reach (10, 20... 100), each attack deals an additional (2, 4... 20) points of physical damage.
(new!) Blood Splash (Purple): Actively scratches itself, throwing fresh blood at the enemy, causing 10 points of self-harm, and dealing 5 points of corrosive damage per second to the hit target, lasting 5 seconds.
Impact (White): Strikes with force, inflicting (Strength + agility) points of damage
[Swarm anger, blood splattering five steps]
......
The combination of Swarm Consciousness and the beetle's own swarm talent gave birth to this powerful talent.
It not only strengthened the swarm but even provided feedback to Bai Yi herself!
Although it still couldn't increase Bai Yi's combat power,
and the effective control range for the swarm was not far, only about 1 kilometer.
But for the upcoming battle, this was already enough!
However, these were not enough to call a surprise for Bai Yi.
The genes resulting from these fusions could actually be extracted as gene entries!
For example, the current Poison Blood Beetle,
it already displayed extractable gene entries like Poison Blood and Swarm Consciousness!
As long as Bai Yi extracted them again, they could be reassigned to the swarm of bees!
"What is this? A hybrid insect swarm?"
Footsteps approached from behind, and a voice filled with delight came from the rear.
"Master, all the farm's rice has been husked as you requested, do you want to have a look?"
Bai Yi turned to find Zhan Er holding a handful of white rice, his face beaming with the joy of harvest.
The tools promised by Jun Lin had been delivered this morning.
Bai Yi's Magic Power limit was not enough at that time to begin fusing genes.
She spent some Magic Power to ripen a few batches of rice, letting some farmers practice their skills.
After some initial blunders and awkward efforts, the first batch of rice was finally fresh out of the oven.
Just as Bai Yi finished the hive's transformation, she was in a great mood and happily agreed to take a look.
"Let's go, take a look!"
......
Swarm·Erosion Needle Worm: Bee-shaped, possessing strong regeneration and reproductive abilities. Finding one likely means countless Erosion Needle Worm Eggs are buried nearby, skilled in attacking with sharp tail stingers and dangerous corrosive poison. The blood has the same toxicity as the poison, making it unusable, recommended to be destroyed with high temperatures.
