Jiang Tian's current subordinate ants numbered about 700.
Yet, this was far from the maximum colony size.
A colony can range from 500 to 2,000 ants.
Queen Ant can produce 15 to 25 colonies annually.
If each colony is at max, Queen Ant can yield 50,000 ants yearly.
Once the colony reaches a certain size, the Queen Ant will produce female and male ants early.
After mating flights, new Queen Ants form new families.
For other colonies, the Queen Ant decides the next family's birth.
For Jiang Tian, he controls the number of ants and Queens.
Though quantity is the Insectoid Race's strength, quality matters most.
Jiang Tian planned the initial soldier types: defensive, strength, agility, and flying units.
If suitable prey appears, he would add new types referencing their forms.
...
One morning, Jiang Tian woke in the nest.
Checking his experience:
[Experience: 14/200]
"Leveled up?"
Jiang Tian guessed he must have.
[Level: 2, Strength: 3.2, Agility: 3.2, Constitution: 4.5, Spirit: 3.8]
"All attributes increased nicely, not bad."
Satisfied with growth, Jiang Tian opened the simulator.
"System, start simulation, difficulty Normal."
[Please choose your talents: Wilderness Predator (Green), Running Ace (Green), Recon Unit (White)]
[Wilderness Predator]: You live as a hunter in the wild, skilled at hunting and surviving.
[Running Ace]: Your running speed is very fast, especially when escaping.
[Recon Unit]: You have good observation and can detect nearby movements.
"Wilderness Predator? Grassland?"
Jiang Tian thought.
Previously, he explored underground, finding Rat Nest, snake caves, and Ancient Tomb Dungeon.
But he died repeatedly at the hands of the Corpse King.
More importantly, he gained no desired information in those simulations, all the sacrifices were meaningless.
So today, Jiang Tian decided to try a different approach.
If underground won't work, then above ground it is.
"Wonder what good things or information this wilderness trip will bring?"
Choosing two Excellent talents as reserves, he started the simulation.
[Talent choice complete, difficulty Normal.]
[Simulation begins...]
[Day 1, waking in the nest, you see endless grasslands, stirring your wild spirit.
You lead part of the Ant Colony to the wilderness.]
[Day 2, Ant Colony clears nearby insects.]
[Day 3, you easily kill a frog.]
[Day 4, Ant Colony enters a cave, finds a sleeping Brown Bear. You search around but find nothing else useful.]
"That bear really is here."
Jiang Tian murmured.
He had suspected the bear might be in the cave, and now the simulation confirmed it.
[Day 5, you hunt a poisonous toad.]
[Day 6, Ant Colony encounters a nest of Mighty Ants, eats the Queen Mighty Ant, and some grow tail stingers unique to Mighty Ants.]
[Day 7, you encounter Wasps and find a Beehive. You steal honey but are discovered. Wasps attack but can't pierce your body.]
[Day 8, you release pheromone suppression on Worker Ants, allowing them to mate with Male Ants and grow into Queen Ants.]
[Day 9, the Ant Colony digs underground and builds the nest. Queen Ant consumes many Wasps, evolves, and starts laying eggs.]
[Day 10, Worker Ants transport eggs to different soil temperatures. You lead Ant Tribe in other directions.]
[Day 11, Brown Bear comes to steal honey, stomps your new home, causing heavy Ant Colony casualties.]
"Damn!"
"That bear again!!!"
"Why do you always have beef with me? Why keep stomping my ant nest?"
Jiang Tian was furious watching his nest destroyed again.
He secretly vowed to kill the bear once strong enough.
It was truly annoying.
[Day 12, you find another Wasp gathering place.]
[Day 13, a new Ant Tribe nest is born.] This time, you build it under tree roots to prevent trampling.]
...
[Day 22, your Flying Unit is born.]
