Deep in the Gloomy Jungle,
In a camp only a few thousand meters from the Goblin stronghold,
"Ding! Your Carapace is frozen by frost. [Adaptability] talent activated, you gained a Skill Fragment."
The long-awaited system prompt rang as Su Bai nonchalantly killed a small Goblin — a Frost Goblin — then opened his attribute panel.
In five days, Su Bai cleared seven Goblin Camps, successfully raising his level from 5 to 7, with further increases in his four attributes.
During the hunt, he encountered a second type of Goblin caster — the Frost Goblin.
Capable of casting Lesser Ice Arrow, the Frost Goblin allowed Su Bai to gain a third resistance: Basic Ice Resistance.
After combining ten Skill Fragments into a skill, he upgraded Basic Ice Resistance to Intermediate Ice Resistance, greatly reducing damage from ice spells.
Then he looked at his second panel.
[Gene Points]: Goblin 1971, Fire Lizard 54, Rabbit 11...
[Evolution Points]: 1338
[Skill Fragments]: None
The conditions for the fourth evolution were perfectly met.
Nearly two thousand Goblin Gene Points were dazzling — if Su Bai chose to morph into a Goblin this time, he would probably gain potential comparable to Goblin General Grog.
After multiple evolutions, Su Bai had deduced some patterns between morphing and core evolution.
Morphing means transforming from the ant race into another race.
For example, this fourth evolution would require only 100 Goblin Gene Points to perfectly morph from Emperor Ant to Goblin. Extra Goblin Gene Points would become his potential.
Almost two thousand Goblin Gene Points — if Su Bai chose morphing, he might surpass Goblin General Grog's potential.
In the future, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become Goblin King and establish a true Goblin kingdom.
Core evolution means continuing to enhance his original race.
Investing all Gene Points into core evolution strengthens his original evolution, absorbing advantages of the genes to become stronger.
The downside of Gene Point-enhanced evolution is that his body would change slightly each time.
The more evolutions, the more his appearance would differ from an ant.
"Unfortunately, it's just Goblin..."
Looking at his second panel, Su Bai sighed lightly.
Morphing into a Goblin and ultimately becoming Goblin King would only make him a mid-tier boss in the game world.
When players arrive, he would still be hunted and serve as experience.
If the morph were into a legendary creature like Great Dragon, Winter Night Demon Wolf, or Evil Eye Tyrant, he might be tempted.
"Choose core evolution."
"Invest all Gene Points into this evolution to enhance core evolution!"
Ultimately, Su Bai chose to continue core evolution.
"Choice confirmed."
"This evolution will last sixty minutes. Please ensure the surrounding environment is safe."
"Evolution begins..."
With the crisp system prompt, Su Bai dove into the prepared cave and lost consciousness.
...
Long after, Su Bai awoke from his slumber.
After the fourth evolution, his body was 50 cm long and 20 cm tall.
His entire carapace flickered with pitch-black luster, like armor forged from steel.
The originally soft antennae had hardened, flashing sharp cold light forward.
His two pairs of legs were further strengthened and more flexible.
The biggest change was his two Foot Sickles.
After obtaining the Foot Sickle Passive Skill, Su Bai's first pair of limbs had morphed into sickle shapes, becoming his main hunting tools.
This evolution, likely aided by nearly two thousand Goblin Gene Points, transformed these limbs again — from sickles into feline-like claws!
Five sharp claws flickered dazzling cold light like five sharp daggers, sharper and deadlier than the previous Foot Sickles!
"Less and less like an ant…"
"I wonder what I'll become after a few more evolutions…"
Flexing his new claws nimbly, Su Bai chuckled bitterly and opened his attribute panel.
