Laws of the Insect Hive

The irregular rhythm in the blood during the degeneration seemed to convey a voice to System, asking him to make a choice.

What to choose?

System kept thinking, and carefully felt every rhythm in his quivering blood, but still found no more information.

However, with the continuous transformation of his body, the voice gradually became clearer, and System gradually understood the meaning of the voice.

The data on [Self-Information Generation] also shows the content of this voice.

...

[Metamorphosis growth mode]: The mode that some insects enter when they molt, morphs according to the power in the blood, and can choose an ability to strengthen. The unique mode of the talent [Degenerate Growth].

...

Choose a physical ability to strengthen.

It can strengthen its own fangs, strengthen its strong hind limbs, and strengthen its innate talents or derived skills.

He has many options.

Compared with ordinary grasshoppers without intelligence, which generally strengthen their fangs, hind limbs, wings, and carapace hardness, System has a deeper understanding of this strengthening.

The first thing System thought of was to use this power to strengthen the talent [Metamorphosis Growth]. If the talent [Metamorphosis Growth] could be strengthened to the top level 13, then he would have a third chance to transform.

If he morphed to the third time, not to mention that mysterious and mysterious listening to the voice of the world, his body would definitely be greatly improved, even in the face of some insect hunters such as mantises, he should have the strength to fight.

However, System immediately thought of a talent [Numerical Code] that was more important than the talent [Metamorphosis Growth].

[Numerical Code] It is rarely felt and used by System, but System can grow rapidly by leveling up, relying on this talent.

The information from the bloodline of [Metamorphosis and Growth] allowed System to naturally understand the law of the growth of ordinary grasshoppers.

Life in this world generally has the concept of level, and ordinary grasshoppers also have levels, and their levels will also be raised through eating.

However, compared to System’s level rise, the ordinary grasshopper leveling up was a slow process.

After the ordinary grasshopper experience bar reaches the threshold, it will not be upgraded immediately, but will be upgraded slowly by eating. Usually, each upgrade takes a day, and as the level increases, this time will become longer. .

Therefore, even if an ordinary grasshopper is diligent and eats day and night, it will take five or six days to reach level 5 for the first molting. molt.

Of course, because ordinary grasshoppers were slow to level up, they wouldn’t have the feeling of extreme hunger in their abdomens after System’s level up.

But this kind of shortcoming is not concealed. [Numeric Code] is definitely the most potential and most peculiar ability currently possessed by System.

...

After making the decision, System channeled the power of his blood into the ocean of 0s and 1s in his mind.

With the transmission of power in his blood, System felt the talent [numerical code] for the first time, but his mind didn't feel like it was exploding, just a little tingling.

In the ocean of numbers, System felt like his spirit was like a pure white sphere of light, and around him was a sphere of numbers surrounding him, like a planet orbiting a star .

This planet of numbers, System, is very familiar, because this is the derivative skill [Self Information Generation] that he possesses after he wakes up.

With the injection of the power of the bloodline generated by [Metamorphosis Growth], System found that the entire digital ocean composed of 0s and 1s became wider, and these digital oceans also became thicker.

System found that the numbers not far away from him were surging violently, gradually converging and forming a brand new digital planet, this planet was dozens of times larger than the one in [Self-Information Generation]. .

The planet quickly found its orbit, and it began to slowly rotate around System.

Just as the planet had just stabilized, the power of [Metamorphosis Growth]'s bloodline suddenly began to fade, and severe pain struck, and System's spirit exploded in the digital sea.

System fainted...

...

When System woke up, a bright light shone through the gaps of the dead leaves, and it was obvious that the night when he was molting had turned to the next day.

The hunger after molting is obviously stronger than the hunger after upgrading, just like he has been hungry for several days.

There was a rustling sound, and the worm slough attached to the movable body of System shattered, revealing the brand-new exoskeleton inside.

After a round of molting, his body size has grown from 1.6 centimeters to 2.3 centimeters, the antennae on the top of his head have become more slender and sensitive, the exoskeleton of his body and the chelicerae on his head are also stronger, and his leg that was bitten off by an ant It also grew well at this time.

A pair of wing buds also grew on System's back, and as he continued to grow, he would soon master the power of flight.

Compared with the body, through the power of [Degenerate Growth], System's [Numerical Code] (1/1) exceeded the upper limit of the talent level and increased to [Numerical Code] (2/2).

And because of the improved [Numerical Code], he obtained a brand new talent [Data Storage], and based on this [Data Storage], he obtained two derivative abilities [Information Entry] and [Information Reading].

...

[Data Storage] (1/2): A special talent obtained from [Numerical Code] and [Degenerate Growth]. Unique talent for recording and simply analyzing data. System's unique talent.

[Information Entry] (1/1): A derivative ability obtained from the talent [Data Storage]. passive ability. Possesses the ability to record things that System touches.

[Information reading] (1/1): A derivative ability obtained from the talent [Data Storage]. Ability to activate. Has the ability to summarize and read the information after [information entry].

...

These newly acquired abilities were support abilities, and System felt a little useless at first, but after he emerged from the dead leaves of the pine tree, System understood the power of these skills.

The effect of the derivative skill [Information Entry] is not very obvious, it just passively records the things System touches, but after consuming mental power to activate the derivative skill [Information Reading], he finds that the whole world has changed in his eyes .

Although the things in the distance in the compound eyes are still blurred, the outlines of all things emit a faint light. After he activates [information reading], any insect hunters hiding around will be invisible.

Not only that, [Information Reading] can also get information about the plants he has eaten. If he has eaten this plant, he will recognize it as long as he sees it from a distance.

System, who had just jumped off the branch, used this [information reading] to identify three nearby plants that he had eaten, and checked the information of these plants.

Not only the taste and hardness of these plants, but also how many leaves he eats can be estimated to reach level 6.

The weights required for the three plants to upgrade him are 1028g, 225g, and 78g respectively.

This ability of [information reading] is somewhat similar to the digital optical brain in System's previous science fiction novels, helping humans process and analyze information.

However, System's [Information Reading] is obviously lower in intelligence and has almost no calculation ability, and his mental power will quickly fade away as long as he uses it for a while. It is estimated that he will have to rest after five or six minutes of continuous use.

But even so, this derivative skill was still very helpful to System.

He quickly followed the screen displayed by [information read], and jumped in a circle to the plant that could upgrade him by eating 78 grams.

A mantis disguised as a plant branch was easily avoided by him...
