"This thing looks tasty."
Jiang Tian looked at the stone in front of him, sensing strong energy emanating from it.
Just as he prepared to swallow it, he suddenly recalled the consequences of eating glowing metal in simulation.
Immediately, Jiang Tian stopped.
"No, it's not safe!"
"I'd better simulate before deciding to eat it."
Jiang Tian summoned the system and started simulating.
[Please choose your talents: Slow Healing (Blue), Tooth Reinforcement (Blue), Big Appetite (Green)]
[Slow Healing]: You can slowly heal injuries, including internal and mental damage.
[Tooth Reinforcement]: You can use your internal power to strengthen your foreclaws for stronger biting force.
[Big Appetite]: You have a larger stomach and can gain more energy from food.
"Good start! Two Elite and one Excellent Tier talents right away!"
"Too bad their effects overlap."
Jiang Tian looked at the three talents, two familiar and one overlapping with Self-Healing Reinforcement.
"No, I'll pick Tooth Reinforcement last. That way all my talents reach Elite Tier."
Jiang Tian thought and selected the first two talents as primary, then entered the simulation.
[Talent selection complete, difficulty set to Normal.]
[Simulation begins...]
[Day 1, you wake up in the nest and see the entrance piled with stones. You spot an energy-filled green stone and swallow it.
Your Gold-Eating Constitution and Race Enhancement activate, assimilating the green stone's energy.
Powerful life energy surges within your body, and your attributes soar.]
[Day 2, under your command, the Ant Colony collects stones in large quantities, piling them beside the nest.]
[Day 3, as the stones increase, you find more green stones like before. You ask the Ant Tribe about their origin, and they give you a general direction. You lead some Ant Tribe to search.]
[Day 4, you find a cave and discover green stones surrounding a skeleton. You collect all the stones and return to the Ant Nest.
Within the corpse's wrapping, you find a map. Though torn, you recognize the layout as the Ancient Tomb map.]
[Day 5, after continuously swallowing green stones, your body emits a green glow. Your Self-Healing Reinforcement and Slow Healing talents fuse into a new talent.]
"Talent fusion!!!"
When Jiang Tian saw this, he nearly shouted with excitement.
Last time, he got Race Enhancement by lucky talent fusion, greatly boosting his strength.
This time, he didn't know what the fusion would produce or what new talent would be born.
Calming his excited heart, Jiang Tian read on.
[Day 6, you lead the Ant Tribe to search for purple liquid and have the Queen Ant swallow a green stone.]
...
[Day 9, you return with purple liquid and begin strengthening yourself.]
...
[Day 11, purple liquid loses effect; you begin hunting Rat Pup. You steal a snake egg, and your scales harden.]
[Day 12, the power in Rat Pup's blood is insufficient for your molt. Your mandibles and legs evolve. You hunt Rat Pup frantically and feed them to the Ant Tribe.]
[Day 13, the Rat Swarm chases you but cannot catch you. The Ant Tribe attack Rat Pups, suffering casualties but gaining great rewards.]
...
[Day 16, you lead the Ant Colony to surround the Giant Rat.]
...
[Day 26, the rats perish, and you lead the Ant Tribe toward the dungeon.]
[Day 28, you enter the dungeon.]
[Day 29, you arrive at the coffin site, hunt Corpse Beetles, and start feeding the Ant Tribe.]
[Day 30, you find glowing metal and, following the map, discover three tomb chambers.
After dealing with the Corpse Beetles inside, you settle to develop your base.]
[Day 31, you find a hidden Corpse-Nurturing Pool with a huge number of Corpse Beetles, including a Corpse Beetle King.]
[Day 32, you find the Corpse-Nurturing Hall and discover many black poison pills inside.]
[Day 33, exploration of map info completes; you return to the base and focus on developing safely.]
...
[Day 37, worried about the Adventurer squad, you lead the Ant Colony toward underground caves.]
[Day 38, no sounds come from the tomb; You guess the Adventurer squad hasn't arrived.
After these days of strengthening, you feel able to withstand metal fragments, so you swallow one.
The metal fragment releases massive energy, stimulating your body to molt.
Your Race Enhancement and Gold-Eating Constitution fuse and evolve into a new talent.]
"Another evolution?"
Jiang Tian opened his mouth in shock.
