After choosing Little Worker Ant and Queen Ant as his vassals and the ant species as his subject race, Su Bai made the decision after careful consideration.
At first glance, the ant species seemed extremely weak.
Excluding Su Bai himself as an exception, only Little Worker Ant and Queen Ant had reached the Tiny Level.
It could be said that even the combined strength of the entire species might not be enough to face a single level 1 monster, let alone compare with a race like the Goblins.
But the ant species possessed potential that ordinary people could hardly detect.
Among Su Bai's three great talents, the Adaptability talent originated from the ant species.
This meant that every ant in the entire species had a chance to awaken the Adaptability talent. Although this probability was extremely small, it was still real.
If one ant cannot awaken Adaptability, what about one hundred?
If one hundred isn't enough, then one thousand.
If one thousand isn't enough, then ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand!
As long as there was enough food, a single Queen Ant could develop its colony into tens of thousands in a short time. Under Su Bai's control, reaching hundreds of thousands was also possible.
Su Bai still remembered the system's description: even insects had infinite possibilities!
Moreover, he harbored some suspicion.
He had chosen a Dim Level species as his subject race, so for the sake of so-called balance, the system would surely compensate by enhancing the ant species.
After all, no one else would choose a swarm of Dim Level creatures—not even real monsters—as their subject race.
Sure enough, when Su Bai confirmed choosing the ant species as his subject race, the system promptly issued a notification:
"Ding! You have chosen ants as your Subject Race. You can select two of the following options as the race talents for the ant species."
"1. Adaptability. Enhancement of the ant species' Adaptability talent. Each ant has a 0.1% chance to awaken the Adaptability talent at birth."
"2. Rapid Digestion. Ants chosen as the Subject Race gain rapid digestion, allowing them to grow faster."
"3. Reinforced Carapace. Ants chosen as the Subject Race possess tougher carapaces, able to withstand more damage than other insects."
"4. Weakened Camouflage. As a species grown from Dim Level, ants chosen as the Subject Race more easily blend into their environment, greatly reducing hostility from other creatures."
Four options, four talents.
Without hesitation, Su Bai chose Adaptability and Rapid Digestion.
With these two racial talents, the potential of the ants was already on par with the Goblins.
In fact, given enough food and time to grow, this ant colony might become a miracle in the game world!
Having settled the Subject Race, next came Su Bai's vassals.
As the lord of Gloomy Jungle, Su Bai's vassal slots were not fixed.
He could have two vassals with warrior templates, or split those warrior-template vassals into four elite-template vassals, or even split elite-template vassals into ten advanced-template vassals.
Clearly, Grog had chosen to split his vassals.
That was why he commanded one warrior-level Goblin Priest and four elite-level Goblin Centurions.
Su Bai defined his Subject Race as a group-based combat force, using an overwhelming insect swarm to drown opponents, so he would not casually split his vassal slots.
He directly assigned the two warrior-level Attribute Templates to Little Worker Ant and Queen Ant.
Like the Subject Race, both Little Worker Ant and Queen Ant were only Dim Level creatures, not even reaching the level of formal monsters.
When Su Bai chose Little Worker Ant and Queen Ant as his vassals, the system also presented several options for their talents:
Queen Ant:
Identity: Queen Ant
Species: Ant
Level: Tiny Level
Template: Warrior Attribute Template (Health +2000, Strength *5, Agility *1, Constitution *25, Spirit *3)
Attributes: Strength 0.11, Agility 0.02, Constitution 0.5, Spirit 0.08
Talents: Mutation Egg (unique talent), Adaptability (racial talent), Rapid Digestion (racial talent)
Skills: Mental Network (Passive Skill, allows perception and remote control of ant colony through spiritual power), Rapid Breeding (Passive Skill, doubles egg production amount and speed at the cost of doubled food consumption)
Mutation Egg: As the first Queen Ant to attain the warrior template, this talent allows the Queen Ant to gain Gene Points while feeding. When the amount of certain Gene Points reaches a threshold, there is a chance to lay eggs that inherit the traits of that creature.
Currently, Queen Ant's attribute panel was simple.
But the Mutation Egg talent made her one of the best vassals!
By consuming enough of a creature's flesh and blood, there was a chance to lay ant eggs inheriting that creature's traits.
Combined with the two racial talents Adaptability and Rapid Digestion, this effectively multiplied the chance of elite ants appearing in the colony!
When these elite ants grow and accumulate in numbers, not only Goblins, but hundreds or thousands of players, would be swallowed by the overwhelming insect sea!
With the two racial talents, Queen Ant's Mutation Egg talent, and Rapid Breeding passive skill, the war potential of the ant race was already taking shape!
Finally, there was Little Worker Ant.
Little Worker Ant:
Identity: Worker Ant
Species: Ant
Level: Tiny Level
Template: Warrior Attribute Template (Health +2500, Strength *10, Agility *7, Constitution *10, Spirit *8)
Attributes: Strength 0.1, Agility 0.08, Constitution 0.05, Spirit 0.21
Talents: Gold Eater, Adaptability (racial talent), Rapid Digestion (racial talent)
Skills: Rapid Healing, Malice Perception
Gold Eater: Able to gain a large amount of experience by consuming metal, with a chance to gain dual enhancements in strength and defense from the metal.
Malice Perception: Passive Skill. Naturally strong spiritual power allows sensitive perception of other creatures' emotions and clear awareness of hostility directed at oneself.
