The system chimed again, as if sensing his thoughts.

Kai's eyes narrowed slightly. "Egg Hatching Chamber? Really!!!"
[Ding! Yes. The essence liquid acquired from the Rift Gate can be used to accelerate and stabilize the hatching of your colony's eggs. By infusing the liquid with aura and integrating it into a specialized chamber, hatchling survival and growth speed increase by 25%.]
Kai considered the implications. A strong, thriving generation of ants would mean faster expansion, more subordinates, and more security for his home.
"How much essence liquid will it take?"
[Ding! Required: 900 Liters of Essence Liquid. Current Inventory: 1,000 Liters.]
"Damn," Kai muttered, rubbing the back of his neck. "Nine hundred? That is ridiculous. This thing better shine like a goddess and hatch eggs like a queen in heat."
