[You killed Level 2 Corpse Beetle King, gained 2 experience.]
"Two experience points, not bad."
Jiang Tian nodded, satisfied.
There were many Corpse Beetle Kings here; clearing them might level him up.
The fourth Queen Ant, newly raised by Jiang Tian, specialized in breeding Corpse Beetle Kings.
Killed beetle kings were fed to her.
"Although the fourth Queen Ant overlaps with Flying Queen Ant as flying units, they differ strategically."
Jiang Tian planned to develop Flying Queen Ants into rapid ranged units for harassment and scouting.
The fourth Queen Ant's troops would be flying melee units.
Though both flying, their roles differed.
"Before the Ant Tribe hits growth limits, I need to breed more troops."
"When growth maxes out, only Advanced Tier treasures like green stones and metal fragments can enable further evolution."
Jiang Tian collected metal fragments from the tomb and stored them with green stones in a coffin.
He left the three items from the Dark Chamber untouched to keep exchanging items indefinitely.
If he used them all up, no more exchanges would be possible.
...
Over time, the number of Corpse Beetles in the pool dwindled.
Jiang Tian's Ant Tribe grew stronger.
[Your subordinate killed a monster, gained 0.1 experience.]
[Your subordinate killed Level 2 Corpse Beetle King, gained 2 experience.]
[Your subordinate killed a monster, gained 0.1 experience.]
...
[You leveled up, gaining six attribute points: Strength +1, Agility +1, Constitution +1, Spirit +3.]
A notification sounded as Jiang Tian advanced to Level 4, with his attributes improving.
Seeing the nearly cleared Corpse Beetle population, Jiang Tian opened the simulation panel.
It was almost past midnight; simulating after midnight would bring the day forward.
Waiting a few minutes, Jiang Tian said to the system,
"System, exchange a few drops of young man's blood essence."
[Ding! Spending 30 Points to exchange 3 drops of blood essence. Current Points: 201.]
Jiang Tian placed the blood in a clean container and clicked continue.
[Choose your talents: Pretty Boy (Green), Blade Mastery (Blue), Muscular Build (White)]
[Pretty Boy]: You have delicate, fair features that attract female attention and favor.
[Blade Mastery]: You are skilled with all kinds of blades, long or short.
[Muscular Build]: Your muscles are well-developed and powerful.
"These talents aren't great!"
"Blade Mastery? A bug wielding a blade? Am I being overestimated?"
"And Pretty Boy? Am I supposed to attract female insects?"
Jiang Tian shuddered imagining the scene.
"No way! No way!"
He skipped the first talent and chose the latter two.
[Talent selection complete, difficulty set to Adventure.]
[Simulation begins...]
[Day 1: At dawn, you withdrew the Ant Tribe from the Corpse-Nurturing Pool and sent a Bear Ant to drip blood essence into the black orb.
A black soul emerged from the orb and possessed the Bear Ant. The soul was absorbed by the Insect Nest Will and became your subordinate.
Through communication, you learned the location of the lightning artifact.]
"That sneaky bastard was absorbed by Insect Nest Will? And became my subordinate?"
Jiang Tian smiled playfully at the first day's simulation results.
"The sly bastard got outplayed in the end."
"Interesting, very interesting!"
Jiang Tian glanced at the black orb nearby, then back at the panel.
[Day 2: From the black soul, you learned that the corpse hidden in the Underground Palace was its original body.
Guided by the soul, you used a peach wood sword and soul-suppressing talisman to restrain the Corpse King, then killed it with Lightning Talisman.
The soul devoured its original body and grew stronger.]
[Day 3: The soul devoured the peach wood sword and grew even more powerful.]
[Day 4: From the soul, you learned how to improve the Ant Colony's strength, but certain materials were needed.
You told the soul about the Adventurers and their descendants. The soul guessed the necessary materials might be found in the mine where the Adventurer team was located.]
[Day 5: You and the soul began hunting monsters around the Ancient Tomb Dungeon.]
...
[Day 9: You and the soul reached the area where the Lightning Rabbit appeared. The soul sensed the rabbit's aura and believed something extraordinary had happened to it.]
[Day 10: Hunting monsters.]
...
[Day 18: You were attacked by a Yak herd and died.]
[This simulation lasted 18 days, yielding 54 Points, with an 18-minute cooldown.]
[You can permanently retain one talent, fixing it into the real world.]
