After waiting for a full two days, Bai Yi finally reached the maximum Magic Power Value of 450 points on the evening of the fourth day after arriving in this world.
For these two days, Bai Yi invested 10 units of Blood Flesh into the giant tree each day, obtaining an extra tree fruit from it.
Combined with the swarm's hunting to the south of the territory, Bai Yi's level also reached level 16.
All free attribute points were added to Spirit, and Bai Yi began the final Genetic Fusion.
[Current genes match well with the target. Fusing genes will consume 450 Magic Power Value. Proceed with fusion?]
[Genetic Fusion complete. Congratulations, you have created a new species: unnamed (First-tier/Gold)]
[Unnamed] (First-tier/Gold)
Life Value: 250/250
Magic Power Value: 620/620
Level: lv.20 (1st Rank)
Attributes: Strength 10, Spirit 12 (+50), agility 25, Constitution: 15
Talents:
(new!) Unlimited Regeneration (Gold): Greatly accelerated growth rate, can consume Magic Power and stored Nutrition within the body to rapidly repair body damage and restore Life Value, no longer possesses fatal weaknesses, Life Value cap +100.
(new!) Destructive Poison (Gold): Injects highly destructive poison via bee sting, causing 5 points of corrosive damage per second and tests the target's Constitution Attribute. If Constitution is below 25, causes paralysis for 3 seconds.
This effect can stack. Each stack adds 2 to judgment value and deals an extra 5 points of corrosive damage. Maximum stack: 10 layers.
Swarm Consciousness (Gold): The swarm possesses group consciousness. Each time the group size reaches (10, 100, 1000…), unlocks corresponding attribute corrections and extra abilities, and increases intelligence of Swarm Consciousness. Current correction:
[Received 50 points Spirit correction, collection speed +200%, work efficiency +200%, gained extra skill: Wing Flapping (Blue)]
Hive Expert (Purple): Worker Bees will actively seek materials to expand and repair the hive, slowly decreasing hive upgrade requirements.
Skills:
Wing Flapping (Blue): The swarm synchronizes consciousness for high-frequency wing flapping, releasing spiritual interference. Makes a Spirit Attribute judgment against the target. If below 31, target is stunned and hit rate decreases by 50%.
Collection (Blue): Even after mutation, collection skills remain intact. In Swift Swimming state, will actively collect building materials and pollen.
Brewing (Blue): Consumes collected pollen to brew [Giant Bee Honey] (1st Rank/Purple). Further consuming pollen can brew even better [Royal Jelly] (1st Rank/Gold)
Sting (Green): Performs a rapid sting, injecting destructive poison to the target, dealing 20 points of physical damage ignoring defensive power.
(new!) Poison Liquid Spray (Blue): Quickly sprays highly destructive poison via bee sting, deals 5 points of corrosive damage per second to the target for 5 seconds. This damage is doubled against armor.
(new!) Rapid Regeneration (Gold): Additionally gains 200 points Nutrition Value cap. Eating food restores Nutrition Value. Consuming 5 points Nutrition Value or Magic Power Value restores 10 points Life Value. Can restore up to 50 points Life Value per second.
Bee Dance (Gold): Cooperates with companions for a group hunt. Each companion deals 20 points of physical damage ignoring defensive power to the target. When number of companions reaches (10, 20…100), each attack also deals (2, 4…20) points additional physical damage.
[The "Little Bee" is gradually becoming more abnormal]
"It's done!"
If it weren't for the rarity limit being just Gold, Bai Yi would think the current Giant Bee definitely deserves several '+' behind Gold.
After the gene entries Corrosive Mucus and Secretion of Acid were fused, the Giant Bee's neurotoxin talent also upgraded to gold.
It became today's Destructive Poison.
Directly raising the Giant Bee's Attack Power by a major tier!
Unlimited Regeneration further makes the Giant Bee's survival capability epic level—unless instantly killed, it's basically an unkillable cockroach!
[Your soldier unit Killing Giant Bee has undergone an unknown change. Would you like to generate the corresponding building modification? After modification, Killing Giant Bee Nest (1st Rank/Gold) will become [Unnamed] Hive (1st Rank/Gold)]
The final fusion was complete. Bai Yi no longer needed to hold back the building modification, and clicked confirm immediately.
[This modification requires 1st Rank Crystal Core*20 / 2nd Tier Crystal Core*1. Proceed with modification?]
The river to the south of the territory often draws 1st Rank Mutant Creatures for water. After two days of hunting, Bai Yi has collected 57 1st Rank Crystal Cores.
However, the morning's Beetle Nest modification already consumed 30, but the remaining 27 are enough for upgrading.
[Modifying… Modification complete]
[Would you like to name the new building?]
As for naming, Bai Yi had already drafted ideas in the past two days.
"From today, you are Destruction Giant Bees!"
[Destruction Giant Bee Hive (1st Rank/Gold):]
[Destruction Giant Bee Hive (1st Rank/Gold): Can consume fresh Blood Flesh to recruit (breed) units [Destruction Giant Bee]. Upgrading needs: Wood*100, Honey*400, 2nd Tier Crystal Core*3, Fresh Blood Flesh*400. Hive contains 100 Worker Bees (100/100)]
"Upgrade materials increased more than double, but it's not a problem.
Too bad the modification can't convert the original swarm all at once."
Genetic Fusion, like Accelerated Growth, can be applied to all creatures within a certain range, but in the end only 20 Giant Bees got converted this time.
The remaining Giant Bees will just have to wait until Bai Yi figures something out later.
After this modification, Giant Bee breeding only takes 1 minute.
Bai Yi wasn't in a rush to breed Destruction Giant Bees right now, but turned to the Poison Blood Beetle Nest next door.
Poison Blood Beetle is the new name for Bloodthirsty Beetle after modification.
Neurotoxin, Secretion of Acid, and Corrosive Mucus fused on the beetle to mutate into a golden talent called Poison Blood.
Letting beetles have highly corrosive blood flowing inside.
Combined with regeneration, each beetle can self-destruct like a miniature truck at any time.
The impact damage isn't high on collision, but once it hits...
It'll put on a Blood Splash Five Steps show in no time!
After fusing all genes this morning, it also successfully promoted to a gold soldier.
It gave Bai Yi a huge surprise.
[Poison Blood Beetle] (1st Rank/Gold)
Life Value: 250/250

Impact (White): Charges with force, deals (Strength + agility) points damage
[When the swarm gets angry, blood splashes five steps]
......
The combination of group consciousness and beetles' own swarm talent gave rise to this powerful ability.
Not only can it reinforce the swarm, it can even feed back to Bai Yi!
Although it still doesn't add much to Bai Yi's combat strength.
And the effective control range of the swarm isn't far, only about 1 kilometer.
But that's already enough for upcoming battles!
But none of this is what Bai Yi calls surprise.
These fused genes can actually be extracted as gene entries!
For example, the Poison Blood Beetle now—
The extractable gene entries now include Poison Blood and Swarm Consciousness!
As long as Bai Yi extracts them again, they can be granted to the bee swarm!
"What is this, some kind of swarm hybrid version?"
Footsteps sounded behind. An excited voice called out from the rear.
"Master, all the rice in the farm has been husked according to your instructions. Would you like to take a look?"
Bai Yi turned to see Zhan Er holding a handful of gleaming white rice, face full of the joy of harvest.
The tools promised by Jun Lin were delivered earlier that morning.
At that time, Bai Yi's Magic Power cap wasn't enough to start Genetic Fusion.
So he spent some Magic Power to accelerate several batches of rice, letting a few farm women practice.
After some initial mishaps and a clumsy afternoon of attempts, the first batch of fresh rice was finally produced.
Just as Bai Yi finished hive modification, feeling great, he gladly agreed.
"Come on, let's check it out!"
......

Expert at attacking with sharp tail needles and dangerous corrosive poison. Blood carries same toxicity as venom, cannot be utilized, advised to destroy with high heat.
