The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 57 - The First Child

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 The First Child

Chapter 57 -57 The First Child

“Ah—so comfortable!”

Leaning against the hard trunk of a tree while replying to messages for almost half an hour, Bai Yi felt her whole body aching.

She stretched comfortably and, assuming a new position, lay down again.

“I didn’t expect these negotiations would have so many twists and turns, just to say a word, you have to circle around ten or so times.

Tsk, it’s a pity I can’t toss the messages to Zhan Yi to handle, otherwise I’d have a lot more free time…

But this time, I did get quite a bit of intelligence, and even revealed my persona, so it wasn’t a loss.”

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhan Yi and the others hadn’t finished lunch, Bai Yi began going over her recent gains in her mind.

Not much formal trade was accomplished, aside from a big order from the Corpse King; others were more symbolically probing, using the guise of trade to test her.

She also fulfilled their expectations, hinting that she possessed a lord talent of growth stimulation.

Moreover, she responded during the challenge’s one-hour period, making it clear that her strength was not weak, or at least that she wouldn’t be coveted for her talent.

Aside from the great success in showcasing her identity, the biggest gain was the intelligence on those ranking lords.

“That Landon I is going for the magic route? He even remembered the ‘Longevity’ I inquired about last time…

Hiss—

I seem to have forgotten to tell Jun Lin the results.

But it’s been two days already, saying now wouldn’t have much meaning, oh well, oh well…”

Having convinced herself internally, Bai Yi decided to set this matter aside for now.

“And Landon I actually needs a large amount of food, what are he and the Corpse King up to?

Could it be they’re feeding hundreds of people?

Otherwise, why would they need so much food? Even going so far as to talk about verification…”

In contrast to the direct order set with the Corpse King, Landon I only symbolically traded for a hundred units this time.

Claiming he needed to verify the goods, Bai Yi didn’t ask further but simply completed the transaction.

After all, Landon I paid with crystal cores, 2nd Rank ones at that, who could refuse more crystal cores?

However, his capacity to always bring out rare resources made Bai Yi suspicious.

Consistently acquiring common resources, yet able to frequently present rare materials.

And possessing the ability to play with magic soldiers in an ever-evolving world of mutation.

Bai Yi had witnessed the nest of the four-legged dragon beast last time, and feared that other similar barracks would also require specialized magic-side resources.

But Landon I never sought to purchase them, not even once.

Bai Yi suspected it had to do with Landon I’s talent, but to speculate on the specific effect, Bai Yi’s head wasn’t enough.

She knew even less about the other lords, but from their reply at the near end of the challenge time, it seemed their strength was vastly different from Bai Yi’s.

At least, they weren’t worth Bai Yi purposefully remembering.

Except for one.

The lord’s name was Snow, claiming to be ranked fifth in personal combat power.

Yes, just behind Bai Yi, and on the ranking list, that position was occupied by another anonymous lord like Bai Yi.

Of course, what left a deep impression on Bai Yi wasn’t their strength.

It was Snow’s trade request—

asking Bai Yi to help plant specific plants.

This was the first time Bai Yi had seen such a request, sparking other ideas in her mind.

Like if she could directly open a similar service?

Others give her seeds, and she takes care of the planting.

Once finished, she could snag some new species for free, at least gaining some new gene entries!

However, at the moment Bai Yi still needed to fuse genes, consuming significant magic power, she could only temporarily decline this transaction.

After lunch, there were no other important matters in the afternoon.

Waiting for magic power to fuse the genes, and supervising the digging of the water channels, time quickly passed to evening.

Bai Yi stared at her magic power value, her mood tense.

This was the final gene the giant bee needed to fuse.

Once fusion was complete, it would be Bai Yi’s most powerful soldier for the time being, without a doubt!

Before dinner, she had already fused the iron feather gene with the giant bee.

This entry didn’t make the giant bee grow feathers but strengthened its wings.

No longer the droopy kind, they became hard and sharp.

Not to mention clashing with steel, at least it reached the level of inflicting wounds on flesh.

That made Bai Yi even more eager to see what the dragon scale effect was.

“Current gene and target match well, fusing this gene will consume 550 points of magic power, proceed with the fusion?”

“Gene fusion completed, congratulations on creating a new species: Swarm·Unnamed (First-tier/Gold)”

“Finally!”

Seeing the final prompt on the panel, Bai Yi let out a joyful cheer.

This time, even the hive transformation prompt didn’t pop up, but Bai Yi no longer needed it.

The new insects born last night had already become complete, now, there were as many as 20 giant bees ready to act as reproductive mother bodies.

Taking out 200 units of 2nd Rank beast meat from the panel, Bai Yi let the 20 giant bees freely reproduce without restriction.

Although they might not make it in time for tomorrow, if tomorrow’s refreshed monsters had physical bodies, perhaps they could tag along.

Watching mount upon mount of insect eggs pile up in front of the meat hill, if this were before coming here, Bai Yi would have emitted a sharp, explosive scream, then sped away.

But now, Bai Yi found these insect eggs more and more appealing.

Reaching out to gently stroke the giant bee’s hard shell, activating her superpower, Bai Yi knew that the newly obtained gene today could not be given to the swarm in the short term.

“I’ll call you needle erosion insect!”

With a light chuckle, Bai Yi bestowed her first “child,” cultivated with care and attention, a name of its own.

……

Swarm·needle erosion insect: We obey the supreme queen’s command, we bring everything the queen desires, I am ■■■■■, I am the swarm…
