While waiting for the Ant Colony to return, Jiang Tian didn't forget to eat insects they brought back to strengthen himself and recover stamina.
[Ding! You ate a Cricket, gaining 0.02 Strength.]
[Ding! You ate a Mantis, gaining 0.04 Agility. You assimilated Mantis genes, strengthening your legs.]
[Ding! You ate a Caterpillar, gaining slight Poison Resistance.]
...
After eating, Jiang Tian's attributes rose, and subtle changes appeared on his body.
His shell turned pitch-black, the hooks and sickles on his legs sharpened, and even some barbs sprouted on his joints.
Now, Jiang Tian looked like a mini Corpse Beetle, full of a fierce aura.
Seeing these changes, Jiang Tian wasn't entirely happy.
"Evolution is good, but blind evolution isn't."
"You must absorb the essence and discard the dross, evolving only the best parts—not accumulating all body parts."
Jiang Tian did not want to become a freak.
For now, he could only passively receive power from the Ant Tribe to strengthen his body.
He couldn't selectively enhance single parts.
"No wonder Race Enhancement, though strong, is classified as Rare Tier; its downside is imprecise evolution."
"But luckily Race Enhancement fused again—hopefully it becomes the skill I want, or else I'll just become the Corpse Beetle King..."
Jiang Tian thought inwardly.
...
After eating, Jiang Tian's spirit and stamina recovered enough for another simulation.
[Please choose your talents: ...]
"Three whites again..."
"Useless, I'll just pick two and go."
Jiang Tian picked two talents casually and started.
[Day 1, you wake up in the nest and command the Ant Colony to find the cave, bringing back green stones and dungeon map.
Your two talents fuse, producing a new one and greatly boosting your body.]
[Day 2, you lead the Ant Tribe to find purple liquid.]
...
[Day 7, purple liquid loses effect; you prepare to hunt Rat Pup.]
[Day 8, Ant Tribe digs Rat Pup's hole; you hunt it.]
[Day 9, Ant Tribe digs a snake cave; you steal a snake egg.]
...
[Day 12, you lead Ant Tribe to surround and kill Giant Rat.]
...
[Day 22, the rats perish; you lead Ant Tribe toward the dungeon.]
...
[Day 52, you encounter a swarm of Corpse Beetles in the side hall and are devoured.
You die.]
[This simulation lasted 52 days, earning 104 Points.]
[You can permanently keep one talent and solidify it into the real world.]
"Though I got no new clues, it confirmed my guess. Race Enhancement completed fusion evolution after consuming metal."
Jiang Tian exhaled deeply.
With the talent preserved, he wouldn't have to spend huge Points exchanging it.
"I had 16 points left before, plus this time, that's 120 total."
"System, exchange a mysterious flower and a drop of purple liquid."
Jiang Tian said to the system.
[Ding! 120 Points spent exchanging items; host now has 0 Points remaining.]
After mixing petals and liquid and consuming them, Jiang Tian's body evolved again.
Soon his spirit and stamina replenished, and he resumed simulating.
...
After several simulations, the Ant Tribe returned with green stones and the Ancient Tomb map.
Looking at the dozen green stones, Jiang Tian smiled happily.
"Finally I can evolve again!"
"But I must be careful not to eat all the green stones."
"I have to keep some for exchange."
Jiang Tian thought and started swallowing the stones.
One green stone after another was swallowed, and his body began to emit green light.
Strong life energy surged in his abdomen, rapidly filling his body.
His originally black shell now glowed green and became translucent.
"Crack crack crack ~"
With a soft sound, his glowing shell peeled off.
Jiang Tian's body seemed to break free from its shackles and quickly expanded.
Four centimeters...
Five centimeters...
Six centimeters...
...
His body rapidly grew to about seven centimeters and then slowed its growth.
Meanwhile, strong life energy fermented inside him; his Slow Healing and Self-Healing Reinforcement talents began fusing.
Time passed, and the fusion completed.
[Ding! Slow Healing and Self-Healing Reinforcement fused successfully into a new talent—Regenerative Enhancement.]
[Regenerative Enhancement](Rare): You have excellent regenerative ability; even severed limbs can regrow given sufficient energy. (Severed critical parts cannot self-heal)
"Rare Tier Regenerative Enhancement—its power is indeed strong!"
"Are these critical parts really the official critical parts?"
Jiang Tian stared blankly at the parentheses.
Closing the prompt, Jiang Tian opened his attribute panel.
Seeing a certain line, he smiled slightly.
"I finally evolved into a Level 1 monster, not easy!"
