The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 55 - What Gene Does the Slime Have

Chapter 55: Chapter 55 What Gene Does the Slime Have?

Chapter 55 -55 What Gene Does the Slime Have?

“There still hasn’t been a second person to complete today’s challenge…”

Returning under the giant tree, Bai Yi rubbed her hands for a whole five minutes to ensure there wasn’t a trace of scent on them before she finally stopped.

When she opened today’s Points Mall, the items remained untouched.

This could only prove that everyone was still disgusted by that group of Slimes.

Since she took first place today, Bai Yi wasn’t shy and first looked towards the top-tier advanced props available in quantities of just one.

[Today’s Limited Offer: Random Golden Resource Building Blueprint*1, 2000 points, Remaining 1/1]

[Superpower Crystal*1, 1000 points, Remaining 100/100 (Limit 1 per person)]

[Advanced Random Dungeon Voucher*1, 2000 points, Remaining 1/1]

Compared to yesterday’s store, today’s rare props had an additional item.

Although Bai Yi was curious to see exactly what it was, her points were not abundant enough to waste them freely.

The daily limited had to be acquired, and the Superpower Crystal couldn’t be left out either. Those two cost 3000 points, leaving her with 1500 points remaining from yesterday.

She could exchange the remaining points for three ordinary buildings.

Bai Yi directly chose the targets she had been eyeing since yesterday but couldn’t get due to a lack of points.

[You exchanged for Random Golden Resource Building Blueprint*1, Superpower Crystal (2nd Rank/Blue)*1, Firearms Workshop Blueprint (1st Rank/Green)*1, Gunpowder Workshop Blueprint (1st Rank/Green)*1, Blacksmith Blueprint (1st Rank/Green)*1, spending a total of 4500 points, remaining points: 0]

First drawing the prize, Bai Yi didn’t need to worry about any specific techniques with the fixed golden draw. Casually flipping one open, Bai Yi couldn’t wait to see what the resource building turned out to be.

She still remembered that this week’s Lord Rankings also featured building blueprints for resource buildings.

[You used the Random Golden Resource Building Blueprint Pack and received the Iron Ore Altar Blueprint (1st Rank/Gold)]

After studying all the building blueprints, Bai Yi checked the building details on her panel.

[Iron Ore Altar (1st Rank/Gold): Absorbs nearby magic power and constantly grows iron ore on the altar, with an hourly growth of 20 units of iron ore, stopping when the iron ore pillar reaches 300 units]

“Unlimited iron ore? Is the Iron Ore Altar part of a series like the Clear Spring Altar? An unlimited resource series?”

The introduction, almost identical to that of the Clear Spring Altar, immediately invigorated Bai Yi.

“Could all golden resource buildings be similar unlimited resources? Are there Gold Mine Altars? Coal Mine Altars?

What is the principle behind this? Is it true that it only costs magic power to produce unlimited resources?”

Intrigued by this, Bai Yi wanted to construct it immediately to see its effect.

Arriving next to the Clear Spring Altar, Bai Yi prepared to place the altar alongside it, but the panel displayed a prompt.

[There are other magic power absorbing units within the current range, which will reduce the output efficiency of similar buildings if placed here. Force construction?]

“So there is a restriction. Well, if there were no restrictions, it would be invincible, wouldn’t it?

But it doesn’t specify that it can only be built in one territory. So it must be possible to build multiple units, and this ‘range’ surely isn’t too large.”

But such vague data wouldn’t do.

Bai Yi immediately used the panel prompts to test the minimum distance these altar-type buildings could be close to each other.

Moving them little by little further away, the panel’s prompt finally stopped at a distance of about ten meters from the Clear Spring Altar.

“This distance, just enough to form a triangle under the giant tree?”

However, Bai Yi didn’t plan to build there.

Mining, surely should be done by laborers.

And placing a mining field near the giant tree felt somewhat inappropriate to Bai Yi.

“Anyway, I’m not short of iron for now; I’ll find an opportunity to place it near the quarry later~”

The remaining three workshops were true to their name, very legitimate workshop-type buildings, with manageable resource consumption. Bai Yi began construction directly.

She chose to line them up along the main road, on the side adjacent to the farm women’s huts, by the main road.

Although Bai Yi didn’t use firearms much, it’s necessary to have some of these simple-to-use high-power weapons on hand.

Especially explosive weapons, which would be exceptionally useful in situations like today.

Of course, she still needed to solve the gunpowder problem.

As for the Blacksmith, it was specifically prepared for Nong Er; with a dedicated workshop, Nong Er’s crafting efficiency could increase somewhat.

The construction of the three workshops would each take half an hour, so Bai Yi decided to first check her other gains.

For example, the gene she just obtained!

After reading the gene earlier, she hadn’t had a chance to view it. Opening the panel, her talent bar showed three new entries.

[Gigantification, Split Breeding, Adaptability]

“Why are there only a few? Did a single Slime Prince actually provide just three entries?”

Yet Bai Yi quickly guessed the general reason.

From the current information, that Slime most likely had abilities including devouring, but Bai Yi had already acquired that from a Low-tier Slime before.

And recalling carefully, the previously encountered slime seemed only to lack the gigantification trait.

At that time, she seemed to have picked one randomly from three seemingly non-combatant genes.

Now she had managed to complete the set.

Other than reading genes, Bai Yi didn’t expend much Magic Power in the previous battle.

Instead, she gained a considerable amount of experience from killing many Slimes, raising her level by three stages even with what seemed like an experience penalty that gave only 20 points per monster.

Her Magic Power Value had recovered to 561 points now.

It was enough to fuse the next gene.

As a routine step before fusion, she consumed the Superpower Crystal.

She applied the two gifted talent skill points to Genetic Fusion, reducing the fusion cost once again.

[Current genes matched well with the target, 300 Magic Power Value needed for fusion. Proceed with fusion?]

[Gene fusion complete, congratulations on creating a new species: unnamed (1st Rank/Gold)]

This time, she fused the Poison Blood Gene from a Beetle, which didn’t result in any incidents, granting the Giant Bee the Poison Blood talent as expected.

Instead, the Giant Bee’s Destructive Poison talent experienced some slight changes as a result.

No longer needing to rely on bee stings for injection or spraying, now any melee damage caused by the Giant Bee inflicted the same effect.

In simpler terms, the limbs of the Giant Bee received a toxic enchantment.

It counted as a small upgrade.

Next, Bai Yi needed to wait for her Magic Power to recover for the next gene fusion.

Bai Yi calculated quickly, it would take about two hours.

From a distance, she could see Zhan Yi and her group returning, waving to them from afar, then Bai Yi found a comfortable spot under the giant tree to lean against the trunk, intending to process the messages that had accumulated since this morning.

However, before opening private chats, Bai Yi first checked the Points Store.

Over 20 minutes had passed since the challenge began at noon, and there were finally some movements in the store.

Bai Yi counted, and besides what she bought, a total of around 25,000 points worth of items had been exchanged.

“So, after me, another six Lords completed the challenge?

There really are quite a few strong ones after all. But after today, the Giant Bees could be fully transformed.

No matter how the difficulty increased, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore!”

*Speculating who might have completed the challenge, Bai Yi opened the private chat channel and started sifting through the hundreds of unread messages.*

After last night’s events, Bai Yi’s fame skyrocketed.

Now, the name Fan Mao in the channel was almost synonymous with food!

For Low-level Lords, common food was the source of their unit types.

For the few Lords at the top, they were more concerned about the “strength” Bai Yi had shown.

Whether it was by extraordinarily good luck stumbling upon an intact granary, or possessing special abilities to fast-grow crops,

Both signified that Bai Yi had become a desirable figure in their eyes.

As to what attitude they should take towards “Fan Mao,” whether to exploit her completely or to cooperate as equals would depend on this probing.

Therefore, Bai Yi decided to respond to the private messages now.

“Corpse King, Landon, Iron Blood, they are all names on the rankings!

Huh? This is…”
