Chapter 1: Pupal

"You want to rebuild the fulcrum city?"

"Of course." I nodded with certainty: "The plan of the fulcrum city has never been truly abandoned, and this is the reason why Ling Yuan and the others have not been withdrawn. The Japanese battlefield has always been our strategic focus. We can always fight at sea and both sides cannot withstand it. We must shift the strategic focus. More importantly, this can win us the favorability of South Korean and North Korean players. Of course, more importantly, these favorability will be directly expressed in cash. Of course..." I faced the Military Ant Fortress. "After they are all completed."

"It won't take long to complete the thirteen Zerg fortresses." Ying said: "With the current construction capability of Steel City, if we stop all other projects, we can produce a fortress every day, or faster. But this capital investment...?"

Rose whispered to the side for a long time and said, "Stop the expansion of Tianmen Island and Qidian City for the time being, and the equipment replacement projects in other cities will be temporarily suppressed. The launch speed of the new warships will be within three ships a day, so that we can move out about 15 million crystal coins. Our guild has 30 million funds at present, which I think should be enough."

Hongyue also nodded and said, "The steel we built is our own. We can buy a few special materials, but it doesn't cost much. You can calculate too much roses. I think that 30 million should be enough, and it won't be used to slow down the progress of other projects. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to raise funds from guild members. If other guilds have any problems, they usually raise funds from guild members. There are not many guilds that can take the blame for their own profits and losses like this."

"This...!" I thought about it briefly. "So. You will set the labor standards for a guild in the future. In theory, all members in the guild must pay membership fees of three crystal coins every day. If a member participates in guild labor, the membership fees will be offset according to the situation. If a player completes the official labor of these three crystal coins and continues to help the guild work, he can participate in guild reward activities, such as collective grade-up and some guild prizes. If he does not participate in guild official labor and cannot pay the full membership fees, he is allowed to default for up to one week. Those who exceed the amount will not be negotiated. And they will never use it again in the future."

Awei asked: "Will this cause some players to quit the meeting voluntarily?"

Jinzi immediately shouted: "If you retreat, you will retreat. We are not a small guild, so we are asking them to increase their popularity. Besides, if we just want to take advantage of the situation and refuse to work, it would be better if we don't want such a person."

I said to Rose: "You can deal with the specific matters. I just want to mention a general direction. You can decide how much membership fee will be charged."

"Okay, don't worry about this, I will be fully responsible."

All the large-scale construction projects inside the Steel City stopped. A large number of players commanded NPC workers to send large equipment to the ground and began to assemble the other twelve Zerg forts. I ran to the inside of the military ant fortress and walked to the front of the ant totem. "How do you feel when you are big ant?"

"It's very good, I feel that the body is fully integrated. The steel material you have here is so suitable for building Zerg fortresses, more than twice the defense and control of our previous fortresses."

"Are you satisfied with that?"

"Satisfied, I'm very satisfied." The voice of the ant tribe's totem showed that he was already full of joy.

"It's good that you're satisfied. But what do you promise me?"

"Promise you? What's the matter?"

Is this guy going to be dependent on the debt? "Didn't you say that I feel that there are some obstacles in me. As long as I help you, you can help me break through the obstacles?" The hierarchy has been cancelled. But the new thing that emerged in the battle level completely inherits the original hierarchy. My current combat level is level 800, and no matter how I fight, I won't upgrade. Obviously, the mission level still exists."

"Oh, you said this." This guy seemed to have just remembered it, and I don't know if he really forgot it or had an ulterior motive.

"How do you help me break this boundary?"

"In fact, this boundary is easy to break. Our thirteen Zergs have their own physical abilities. If you get our recognition as a derivative, you can break the boundary."

"What is the derivative? Do you want me to become a bug?"

"The derivative is not a bug. This is a kind of ability that our Zerg gives to other creatures. The main feature of this ability is that it can self-reinforce. After becoming a derivative, you will not encounter any limits. As long as you feel that you have reached a bottleneck, you can use special abilities to break through it again."

"What are you waiting for? Give it to me quickly. Don't tell me that you need the ability to use the 13-cross clan totem together?"

"That's not necessary, but our Zerg's derivative ability has slight side effects. Let me explain first that this is what you ask for yourself. If there is a problem, don't look for me."

"Side effects? What side effects? What specific reactions?"

"This is probably true." The ant tribe totem said: "As far as I know, five foreign tribes have become derivatives. The first one is an orc, and the side effect of that guy is intellectual degeneration."

"Don't intellectual degeneration become idiots?"

"Absolutely." The ant tribe totem said: "That guy fell into the swamp and drowned himself because he was too stupid."

"What about the other four?"

"A beautiful forest elf turned into an ugly monster with a sarcoma on his face. As a result, he was scared to death by the reflection in the lake when he was being trained. Another human became unable to control his appetite and ate what he could not eat. He ate too much food to eat and died. In addition, a dwarf's body transformed into a hard carapace. In the end, he starved to death because he could not move at all. The last one...!"

"Wait, wait, stop. Are all the derivatives you know dead?"

The Ant Tribe Totem said with certainty: "The five I have seen died because they became derivatives, but there are derivatives that survived, and they have become very terrifying existences."

"Then you heard of those who are alive?"

"I don't know who it is. The Zergs kept secrets from each other and created their own derivatives. All five of the places I made were dead. Among the only two examples of living, one was the Butterfly Clan, and the other was the Mantis Clan. I created a small number. So I didn't encounter any living examples. The Butterfly Clan and the Mantis Clan both created hundreds of derivatives. So far, one of them has survived."

Good guy, the survival rate of one percent. Is this too low? Almost everyone will definitely die. "Will you have different abilities because of the derivatives of Zerg development in different places?"

"We have not studied this, but we have not found any connection so far. It seems that the specific attributes and the forms of side effects are relatively close to the derivatives' own race. Among the derivatives developed by the Butterfly clan, there are 7 humans, all of whom have similar side effects. And the human derivative I created also has similar side effects."

"You mean the human being who cannot control her appetite?"

"Yes, it seems that humans become derivatives and will have uncontrollable desires. Either appetite or sexual desire, or other desires, or some other desires, anyway, some desire is out of control."

"That's trouble!" I murmured in a low voice: "I am a mixed race of angels and demons. Later, Vina established a blood contract and became a vampire, and was bitten by Red Moon in a werewolf form. Will the four races together produce four side effects or will none of them work?"

The Ant Tribe Totem heard my mutter. "The last time a half-elf derivative developed by the Centipede tribe developed had serious mental allergies and was nervous all day long. Later, he died of excessive nervousness and heart failure. I think the mixed race will not have the problem of the original race. It should be that the integration will produce new side effects. But we have never seen you have such a responsible race. Otherwise, you can take a gamble to see if it is successful? Just treat it as an experiment."

"You think it's beautiful. I won't be a guinea pig. Oh, by the way. I'll be back later."

After leaving the military ant fortress, I headed straight for Aisinger, and swept into the Panda Hall like a gust of wind. As a result, I saw only the empty room and the NPC guards who were packing up toys on the ground.

"What about good luck?"

When the guard saw me, he got up and saluted, and said, "They went to the ground city to play."

I quickly ran to the Gate Tower and took a lift to the ground city. The Gate City of Aisinger has been fully opened, and now there are crowds of people and more lively than the amusement park during festivals. How can I find such a vast crowd? There is really no way. I picked up the city radio and conveyed the order: "All guards should pay attention. Make sure that the mascot of the lower guild is near you. If you find it, hurry up and send them to the gate of the third city wall."

Fortunately, there are many guards in our city, and in a few minutes the two naughty babies were carried back by the two guards.

"Hurry, you two come with me." I turned around and left. I found that Jixiang Ruyi didn't follow me. "Why don't you go?" Jixiang pointed at his mouth and rubbed his stomach. Of course I understood the obvious meaning. "Come back and give you 4 plates of roasted bunny meat."

Jixiang shook his head in one go, then crossed his claws and compared ten points, then pointed at himself, and then compared ten points to Ruyi. His gesture translated into one person and Ruyi.

"Is it okay for each person to have 4 plates?"

Jixiang immediately compared eight.

"Liu Pan."

Jixiang and Ruyi immediately jumped up and followed. They were really lazy. They brought two pandas to the military ant fortress again, and asked me to stand on both sides and hold my legs, so that I could borrow some luck. As long as I am from our guild, the closer I get to Jixiang Ruyi, the higher the luck. This is our long-term experience, and we must make good use of it this time.

"Big Ant, please help me upgrade to a derivative. There is no problem with this double insurance. Even if there are side effects, there shouldn't be too big."

"Are you sure you want to upgrade?"

"Sure."

"I'll say it first, I'm not responsible for anything."

"certainly."

"Okay, you're ready, I'm going to start."

The ant tribe's totem suddenly became dazzling, and a red ray flew out and hit the black crystal on my head. As a result, no reaction occurred.

"I'm done?" I checked myself. Nothing changed!

The Ant Tribe Totem said in confusion: "It's strange, it seems like I didn't shoot it just now. Your helmet may have offset this as an attack. Take off the helmet and I'll try again."

After I took off my helmet, the ant tribe's totem fired another red light. This time I hit my forehead, and I just felt like my head was hit and almost fell to the ground. "Damn, otherwise the helmet would have actively intercepted this thing, which was like a physical attack."

"Do you feel like you have changed?"

I quickly felt the whole body's condition, but nothing seemed special. "No change! Are you lying?"

"It's unreasonable!" The ant tribe totem thought for a while and said, "Just do it again."

"Come again?"

Another red light hit my forehead. This time it hurts even more than last time, and it feels like I am hit by a stick.

“Are there any reaction?”

“Have it.”

"What's the reaction?"

"I want to vomit! I probably got a concussion after being beaten by you! Ah! It's so uncomfortable, I have to find a place to vomit."

Hurry up and let go of Jixiang Ruyi. I ran out of the military ant fortress. The feeling of turbulence in my stomach was about to explode, and a strong sense of vomiting rose from my stomach to my throat. As soon as I ran out of the gate of the military ant fortress, I couldn't help but open my mouth, but it turned out that it was not something in my stomach but a small white mass. The small mass was still hanging in the air and seemed to have a wire connected to my mouth.

Woma was commanding the work next to me, but when I saw that my situation was wrong, I ran over. "What's wrong with you, Zi Ri?"

"The stomach...the stomach is uncomfortable...the stomach is vomiting~!" This time, the white tuan fell completely, but the silk it connected was still connected in my mouth. I tried to grab the silk and pull it out, but the longer I pulled it, it was constantly. Damn, has it evolved into a silkworm baby?

"Zi Ri, why did you spit silk?"

"I don't vomit either..." A large ball of shining silk came out of this mouthful. The ribbons had a shiny luster and seemed to have moisture on the surface. I stuck my hands as soon as I grabbed it. This thing was actually sticky. Woma was blocked by me as soon as she was about to help. "Don't touch it. If this thing sticks, it won't come down."

"Vomit..." A larger ball of silk was spit out, and a small pile of silk was piled up on the ground.

"Zi Ri, what's wrong with you?" Woma was a little anxious.

"It's okay, there was a little accident in the experiment."

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a strong swelling in my stomach. Then my neck was uncontrollably tilted back and raised my head and sprayed out of my mouth. After the silk ball flew up, it automatically dispersed into a bunch of silk threads, and then fell down neatly and wrapped me inside. As soon as the silk thread landed on the ground, I tightened quickly, and my feet tilted and fell down. The silk thread naturally wrapped me up.

On the ground, I naturally turned into a big white silkworm cocoon with crystal shining light. My body was struggling inside, and the silkworm cocoon moved. Woma quickly called someone to help. A player went up and cut the silkworm cocoon, but the knife was broken with a sound of a knife. The player looked at his knife in surprise: "What's the thread wrapped around this?"

The cocoon on the ground jumped a few times and stopped moving. Soon its surface began to merge, and the silk threads all merged together to form a large olive-shaped cuff. The outside of the cocoon began to harden rapidly, and it became more and more shiny, looking like a pearl, but the shape was wrong. Because it lost its stickiness, some people who were stuck to me fell down because of my help. Woma knocked on the outer shell, and a bang sound came from the cocoon shell.

The giant cocoon was transported to Aisinger, and Rose and the others arrived soon. The eagle looked at the huge silkworm cocoon in front of him and asked Womar: "Are you sure Zi Ri is inside?"

Woma nodded: "I watched him spit out silk and wrap himself in. And that's how it went."

"What? Wasn't it attacked by monsters?" Hongyue asked in surprise: "How could Zi Ri spit silk by herself?"

"How do I know! Anyway, it wasn't right for him to come out of the military ant fortress. Then he started vomiting, but all he vomited was white silk thread. The last bite was more, and then he tied himself up like this." At first, the cocoon was elastic, and the surface was not so smooth, and it was particularly sticky. Later, it seemed to gradually harden and lose its stickiness.

Hongyue asked, "Can't you knock it open with something?"
