The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 93 - 9 The First Life Weaving

"Ju, how is it over there?"

Noticing the orange behind him, Bai Yi picked it up from the ground and placed it beside the already ladled meat soup.

Chucks of meat floated in the pitch-black soup, a rich aroma emanating from it, seeming to draw people into this profound abyss.

Even the orange cat felt a little skeptical, but having tasted it once before, it still had some confidence in Bai Yi’s soup.

Hmm, just a little...

With a paw, it gently created a ripple in the soup, quickly lapping it with its tongue.

The little cat’s face immediately twisted into a grimace.

Squeak!

The taste was truly stimulating!

But, the cat liked it!

"I’ll tell you what, I saw several cookbooks next to the stove, so I improvised this ’Buddha Jumps Over the Wall’ based on the techniques I found there.

Just so happened that there was a freezer here. The ingredients inside were just right, so I threw a bit of everything into it, quite a few precious ingredients, you know!"

Even though the orange cat didn’t know what the human version of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was like, it was sure it didn’t look like this!

Watching the orange cat’s distorted little expression as it tried to lick, Bai Yi felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

Hmm, the act should almost be over.

Bai Yi glanced at the clock on the wall, then walked to the bed to lock the window, drawing the curtains tightly to ward off prying eyes.

Then she went to the bathroom and found a thin rope outside the door, turning on the light inside.

The bathtub and all the necessary amenities here were very complete. One of the walls by the bathtub had two knob faucets marked in blue and red for hot and cold.

After a series of adding flour when too much water and adding water when too much flour kind of operations, she adjusted the water to the appropriate temperature, stripped herself clean, and sank into the water with a comfortable moan.

She hadn’t taken a proper bath in a long time, even after getting the Clear Spring Altar, she only managed to wipe herself down slightly, with no opportunity for a bath.

Grabbing a whole bar of soap nearby, she muttered while scrubbing herself:

"After going back, I must have Nong Er make a bathtub!

Hmm? Wait, why don’t I just take one from here?"

Various chaotic thoughts flashed through her mind but quickly dissipated in the comforting water temperature.

"Hmm, I need to reflect on this occasion. I only thought about there being no cameras or bugs and assumed it was safe without eavesdropping but overlooked the most primitive way of remote surveillance.

Moreover, there are Transcendents in this world, not just an ordinary Steam Era.

Magic can be used in this world, and telekinesis is no problem. With my current strength, I could easily pose as about a 3rd Rank Transcendent.

It’s just that I don’t know if there are Transcendents of the spiritual kind.

It’s a pity that the needle erosion insect is too big a target to use for gathering intelligence easily.

Now that there’s enough magic power, how about trying to create a new insect swarm?"

What Bai Yi had in mind was the unused new skill [Life Weaving] after her advancement.

Before entering the instance, Bai Yi, in case of contingencies, specifically allocated half her magic power, just that she hadn’t needed to use it after coming in, now it had fully replenished.

"Then let’s try a bit first, what should I fuse..." Bai Yi thought as her superpower operated in a strange way, giving her various abstract sensations.

However, before Bai Yi could carefully perceive, the delayed panel finally took over everything and converted it into concrete data.

Having already consumed the superpower crystal of the day, she added talent skill points to Life Weaving.

[Life Weaving lv.3: Consumes 500~? magic power value to fuse biological traits and create a new biological template. Consuming resources can materialize the organism, up to 5 templates can be stored]

The data on the panel didn’t seem to have changed, but Bai Yi was sure there was an enhancement.

Bai Yi guessed it was probably like genetic fusion, reducing the magic power consumption, just that the starting consumption for Life Weaving was only two skill points and not enough to change that.

A list of the genes extracted was all lined up before Bai Yi from one side of the panel, and the magic value required for fusion followed behind for Bai Yi to choose from.

And on the other side, it displayed the Soldier Models Bai Yi currently owned, with options for style adjustment within certain limits.

Hmm, commonly known as face customization.

Even though most of them were insects, Bai Yi tinkered with it for quite some time, testing the limits of this face customization.

Overall, it couldn’t create new organs out of thin air, only allowed the relocation of organs possessed by a single organism.

However, removing organs wasn’t restricted as long as the organism could still function normally afterward.

In terms of size, it also had limits on both ends. Like the needle erosion insect, it could be shrunk to half the size of a typical bee or, at most, enlarged to the size of a normal human baby.

Since Bai Yi needed stealth, she certainly wasn’t going to further enlarge it. Using the needle erosion insect’s template and minimizing it, Bai Yi then began selecting genes.

After confirming the template and size, the magic power required for the genes changed, and the overall consumption reduced quite a bit, with only one exception, which was gigantification.

Of course, since the size had already been reduced, Bai Yi wasn’t about to use gigantification to expand the size again.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Yi finally made a choice.

She chose digestive class’s devouring, essential swarm consciousness, and added enhanced survival ability with infinite multiplication and adaptability, then finally added rapid reproduction, the basis of the insect swarm.

Even though the five entries used much less magic power than normal gene fusions, they still added up to 1100 in magic power consumption, leaving her unable to add more even if she wanted to.

[You performed Life Weaving, you created a new species template: Insect Swarm Unnamed (1st Rank/Gold)]

"Then let’s call it Fei Wen!"

To realize it in this world, some blood flesh was needed as a reproduction resource.

Getting out of the bathtub, Bai Yi quickly cleaned herself up, put on the pajamas prepared in the room, and planned to ask Ju for 1 unit of blood flesh from its space.

Walking out of the bathroom, the orange cat was no longer on the table.

Scanning every corner of the room, she finally saw a lump on the bed under the blanket.

"Looks like Ju is tired too..." she stopped going over to Ju, and instead turned to the stove to open a cabinet, revealing a small shelf filled with ice cubes.

However, most of the shelf was now empty, having been used for tonight’s "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" as raw materials.

She took out a piece of unused, unknown meat and opened the panel.

In no time, a piece of approximately one pound of blood flesh disappeared from her hand, replaced by 10 small figures.

These Fei Wen still needed improvement before being truly practical, but for further genetic upgrades, they’d have to wait for tomorrow’s magic recovery.

Even though their purpose was as reconnaissance soldier models, not requiring powerful combat abilities, integrating genes like night vision and sensitive smell was still necessary.

Everything would have to wait for tomorrow!

Picking up the bowl of soup, she slid under the blanket, doing a few sit-ups to ensure that when she lost consciousness, she would end up correctly on the pillow, then she drank it all in one gulp.

Her vision blurred, and Bai Yi lost consciousness.

Ju, sensing the commotion, opened its eyes next to her, a barrier at the bedside isolating everything from the outside world.

The room returned to silence once more.
