[Please choose your talents: ......]
[Talent selection complete, difficulty: Normal.]
[Simulation begins...]
[Day 1, early morning: You withdraw all Ant Tribe from Corpse-Nurturing Pool...]
...
[Day 78: You encounter humans in the Mine Area. After a battle, you are defeated by a human expert who came to the scene.
You died.]
[This simulation lasted 78 days, earned 156 Points.]
[You may permanently keep one talent, solidifying it into the real world.]
This simulation, Jiang Tian chose a cautious growth mode, lurking around the dungeon before heading to the Mine Area.
Unexpectedly, even at Normal difficulty, he was still killed by humans in the Mine Area.
This clearly shows that there are experts in the Mine Area.
This only strengthened Jiang Tian's resolve to grow cautiously.
Spending 50 Points to redeem skill proficiency, Jiang Tian waved his hand and started another simulation.
[Please choose your talents: ......]
...
With continuous simulations, Jiang Tian's survival time gradually lengthened, skill proficiency rapidly accumulated, and Points earned increased.
But every time the simulation ended, Jiang Tian died at the hands of humans in the Mine Area.
"To enter the Mine Area, thorough preparation is a must, or you'll easily be killed."
Jiang Tian closed the simulation panel and redeemed skill proficiency and the location info of a pangolin.
At this moment, the map Jiang Tian had drawn gained over a dozen new marks.
Among the new marks, three locations were tagged with triangle symbols.
These three newly discovered places contained relatively important resources.
One location grew Swift Fruits; eating them increases agility.
The fruits were guarded by a nest of Blue Birds, requiring some strength to harvest.
The second location was where Blood Fruit Trees grew.
Eating Blood Fruit increases the Ant Tribe's health and constitution.
However, the area was guarded by a group of Spirit Monkeys.
Spirit Monkeys were considerably stronger than Blue Birds, so going there demanded greater power.
The third location was currently the best place the Ant Tribe had explored.
It was a nearly exposed ore vein; consuming ore from the vein increases the Ant Tribe's shell defense and sharpness of teeth and claws.
Deep within the ore lived a nest of Gold-Eating Rats.
Though their teeth were sharp, their strength was average.
The Ant Tribe, with some growth, could easily wipe them out.
...
"I wonder how Li Feng is progressing?"
"Has he cleared the monsters in the dungeon?"
Jiang Tian redeemed a peach wood sword with Points and placed it on the ground.
Exchanging the peach wood sword cost Jiang Tian 500 Points, leaving him with only 256 Points.
To accumulate 1000 Points for a treasure orb, Jiang Tian still needed more simulations.
But his energy and stamina were nearing their limits, making further simulation impossible for now.
The orb exchange would have to wait until tomorrow.
"Li Feng, come to Corpse-Nurturing Pool."
Jiang Tian sent the command to Li Feng via Insect Nest Will.
"Okay, Boss, I'm coming right away."
Li Feng killed a zombie in front of him and quickly headed toward Corpse-Nurturing Pool.
...
When Li Feng arrived, he saw Jiang Tian drowsily dozing nearby.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Li Feng hurried up and asked.
"Oh, nothing, just sleepy."
Jiang Tian struggled to open his heavy eyelids and looked at Li Feng.
"I called you here to give you some tasks."
Jiang Tian grabbed the peach wood sword next to him and tossed it to Li Feng.
"Devour this peach wood sword; it will give you some benefits."
"Also, if the dungeon monsters are cleared, lead the Ant Tribe to hunt monsters at these three places."
"These places have low-level monsters with weak strength; you should be able to handle them."
Jiang Tian pointed to the three locations around the dungeon.
"Okay, Boss."
Li Feng looked at the map, memorized the three spots, and agreed.
Afterwards, Jiang Tian found a vacant area and began resting.
...
After receiving the peach wood sword, Li Feng recalled Jiang Tian's earlier words.
"Didn't Boss say he was keeping the peach wood sword for a reason? Why did he give it to me?"
Li Feng was puzzled inside.
"Whatever, it's given by the Boss, I'll just devour it."
"I love getting stronger!"
Ignoring his doubts, Li Feng bit into the sword's wooden blade.
"Crack!"
The peach wood sword instantly had a bite missing.
"Chomp! Chomp!"
Li Feng chewed a few pieces and swallowed the wooden fragments.
The sword's energy was quickly absorbed by Li Feng's Insectoid Race talent.
Golden energy seeped into Li Feng's body, edging his blue form with golden highlights.
"Chomp!"
"Chomp!"
...
Li Feng kept gnawing on the sword, while the lightning around his body turned slightly golden.
At the same time, his talents were slightly enhanced.
"Awesome!"
"The feeling of getting stronger is just great!"
As Li Feng devoured the sword, he clearly felt himself growing stronger.
[Congratulations! You learned the skill — Enhanced Lightning Talisman (Passive). Current proficiency Level 1.]
When Li Feng finished devouring almost the entire sword, a prompt panel popped up.
"Enhanced Lightning Talisman? Not bad!"
Li Feng waved his forelimb and mana surged forth.
A golden-tinged lightning energy quickly sketched a Talisman in the air.
"Lightning Talisman!"
"Boom!"
Golden blue lightning from the Talisman exploded, blasting a nearby coffin into fragments.
The coffin was split into seven or eight pieces, with wood chips flying everywhere.
-286
A huge damage number appeared.
"Wow, this passive skill doubled Lightning Talisman's damage!"
Li Feng was stunned after seeing the damage.
"More importantly, as an Insectoid Race, devouring equipment gave me such a huge upgrade!"
"Is it really this easy for monsters to evolve? Impossible! My body must hide a huge talent!"
"This is unbelievable!"
Li Feng was amazed by Lightning Talisman's damage, but even more shocked by his own talent.
He hadn't expected such a huge boost just from casually devouring a peach wood sword. He felt like a genius!
What Li Feng didn't know was, among the Ant Colony, he was not outstanding.
If Jiang Tian hadn't chosen him, Li Feng would be like the other No-Level Ant Tribe monsters.
Moreover, Li Feng's learned passive skill was synchronized to Jiang Tian.
[Your subordinate has comprehended skill — Enhanced Lightning Talisman. You gained the same boost.]
