Xia Jieren raised the corners of his mouth and was eager to try.

Real knowledge from practice!

So, Xia Jieren went straight to the mother nest and ordered Kerrigan to hatch a fungal blanket.

In less than ten seconds, the purple-red fleshy tissue began to spread from the bottom of the mother nest.

Xia Jieren couldn't wait to go forward and watch.

next second.

"Ugh, ugh, that's really disgusting."

Xia Jieren tilted his head and retched, all in one go.

He has been in this world for two weeks, and he thinks that his psychological endurance has been greatly improved.

But the appearance of the fungal mat far exceeded Xia Jieren's bottom line.

Recalling it again in his mind, he shuddered and his hair stood on end.

Not to mention its flesh-like color and sticky texture, its honeycomb-like structure alone is enough to scare people with trypophobia.

The fungal mat brought a huge shock to Xia Jieren's young mind.

After taking a breath, Xia Jieren said firmly: "Kerrigan, from now on all Zerg will be transformed according to my aesthetics."

“It doesn’t matter how many resources you spend.”

"Now! Immediately! Immediately!!! Transform the [mycelium]."

"At the same time, I'd like to share my ideas about fungal blankets with you. Do you think it can be realized?"

Kerrigan replied solemnly, "As you command, Master."

After saying that, she disappeared again.

After taking another glance, Xia Jieren decisively gave the order to allow the fungal mat under the mother nest to dissolve on its own.

The fungal blanket melts away, and the recovered energy is absorbed by the hive.

It is worth mentioning that there are three ways to create fungal creep.

The first way is through hatching by worker bees.

The second way is to hatch directly through the mother nest.

The last way is to expand the original [mycelium] into larger and more [mycelium].

After dealing with the fungal mat, Xia Jieren suddenly remembered that he seemed to have never seen a springtail.

He looked up at the sky and decided to hatch a springtail to take a look while it was still light.

A minute later, a springtail trotted in front of Xia Jieren.

After taking a careful look at the appearance of the springtail, Xia Jieren was very satisfied.

The overall appearance of the springtail can be described in one word: coordinated, and it looks harmonious.

The spikes on its body are evenly distributed. Although the spikes in different parts are of different sizes, they look very coordinated overall, which can effectively improve the defense of the springtail.

In addition, its powerful and sharp claws look cold and shining, which is very deterrent.

The ferocious teeth are hidden under the metal mask, but when attacking, its powerful bite force will still become the enemy's nightmare.

Overall, the appearance of the springtail is more like a mechanical dog, full of science fiction feeling.

Likewise, the abilities of the springtails are no less impressive.

When running at full speed, it can reach a speed of 160km/h, which is about 1.5 times that of a cheetah, and its explosive power is even more amazing.

Then, Xia Jieren pointed to a large rock.

The springtail jumped up and its sharp claws lightly scratched the surface of the stone.

The next second, the rock as tall as an adult was cut in half.

Xia Jieren's eyebrows lit up with joy, "Haha, that's great."

"Tsk~, such attack power and speed. If there were Zerglings to help yesterday, it would have been much easier to deal with the Silver Moon Wolf."

After testing the fighting capacity of the springtails, it was already dark.

After browsing the mental network for a while, Xia Jieren fell asleep.

Time flies and there is no conversation all night.

The early morning sunlight poured into Xia Jieren's bedroom. He lay on the bed with a mask of pain on his face, and got up reluctantly.

After washing, eating and completing the daily routine, he lay back on the bed to check the optimization progress of the fungal blanket.

[Master: Xia Jieren]

【Energy: 341.4】

[Soldier template: Springtail (60), Larva (20), Scout (u)......]

[Units: 1 Zergling, 100 Scouts, 200 Transporters...]

[Building template: Fungal blanket (100), evolution chamber (100), nutrient embryo (100)......]

[Buildings: Evolution Chamber x1, Nutrient Embryo x1, Warehouse x2...]

[Progress: Symbiotic virus (23%), fungal blanket optimization (100%)]

After spending nearly 10 energy points, the fungal blanket was finally optimized.

Xia Jieren felt a pang of pain after wasting so much energy. "If all of it was used to hatch worker bees, at least 1 could have been hatched."

This was not the most uncomfortable part for him.

According to Kerrigan, the more powerful the troops and buildings are, the more resources they will consume.

This means that a lot of energy will be needed to deduce or unlock the template in the future.

Unlocking the template is easy because it is a legacy of the previous generation of Zerg and consumes less energy.

As for the deduction template, it depends on whether there are available genes in the Zerg gene pool.

If there is, it’s not a big deal, and the energy consumed won’t be too excessive.

If not, then you will need great force to make a miracle happen, and smashing the energy is the only option.

"Oh!" Shaking his head helplessly, Xia Jieren withdrew from the heart network.

He walked quickly and soon arrived in front of the mother's nest.

[Building: Creep]

[Energy: 100 (minimum)]

【Specification: 1.8p/㎡】

[Function: transform/transport energy, transmit information, nourish Zerg troops/buildings]

[Introduction: Fungal blankets are living Zerg organisms that nourish Zerg structures and larvae. After modification, the fungal blanket is divided into two parts, above ground and underground. The above-ground part is green and can photosynthesize, absorb various substances in the air, and replenish energy for Zerg units. The underground part still relies on roots that are deeply rooted in the ground to extract and process minerals to feed itself and other Zerg members. Its roots are long and dense, and now mainly rely on the underground part to convert/transport energy. Zerg buildings can still be built on fungal blankets. Fungal blankets grow very fast, and if not restricted, they can grow in various places from space platforms to water surfaces. ]

According to the latest introduction of the fungal blanket, the optimization is very good.

Creep no longer needs to cover the entire ground.

Its main body will be buried deep underground, absorbing substances in the soil through long and dense roots and converting them into energy.

However, the conversion efficiency will be limited by the size of the fungal blanket.

The main body of the fungal blanket is very much like a pipe, with a cut diameter of about 2cm, which can transmit energy and matter.

The part of the fungal blanket located on the surface can still be used to nourish Zerg troops or buildings.

In addition, the surface parts of the fungal blanket are of various types.

It could be any of the various plants already in the Zerg gene bank, or it could be the fungal blanket before optimization, but its appearance has changed greatly, and it is now a completely emerald green plant.
