Chapter 118

Qi Lan was very happy about Qi Heng's arrival, as could be seen from his appearance.

Qi Lan screamed and moved closer to him. He hugged his thighs and tapped the ground with the tip of his tail happily.

"How have you been these days since I left?" Qi Heng skillfully gave Qi Lan a pat on the head, expressing his concern for him.

Although he hadn't been here for a long time, he had been in contact with Qi Lan through the Blue Tailed Butterfly. Of course, he knew that the Dead Egg Pit had been very peaceful these days, and everything was going on as he expected.

"Ah, ah, ah."

It’s not good at all not being able to see my father.

Rubbing his head against Qi Heng's palm, Qi Lan conveyed emotions of coquettishness and loss, and even a hint of envy when he saw the little bug lying on his shoulder.

The little bug tried hard to wrap his arms around his father's neck and hung himself on his shoulders.

When he found that Qi Lan could only look up at him, he curled his lips and gave Qi Lan a show-off smile.

In the two-way spiritual connection established between the little bug and Qi Lan, the little bug said proudly: "I can be intimate with the father, but you can't, hahaha\\(^o^)/~."

Qi Lan: "...Damn it!"

It stretched out its claws, secretly planning to do something.

So, the little bug didn't feel happy for long before he felt his feet being grabbed. Not only was it grabbed, but it also tried to pull him down.

This sudden change frightened him so much that he couldn't help but hug his father's neck even tighter.

The sudden tightening of the force made Qi Heng unable to react in time and almost got strangled.

He reached back and accurately grasped the little bug cub's collar. Before the little bug cub could react, he lifted it up and dropped it to the ground.

Facing the little bug's stunned face, Qi Heng said, "You can come down now."

"Oh..." The little bug responded aggrievedly.

He actually wanted to continue staying on the male father's back, but the female father said that only obedient cubs would be liked by the male father, so... he had no choice but to be obedient.

"Father Xiong, Qi Lan grabbed my feet just now." The little bug pulled his hand and pointed at Qi Lan in a soft voice, like a bullied child.

When she is happy or in need, she calls him brother sweetly. When she is not happy or angry, she calls Qi Lan by his name.

"Oh!" I'm just saying hello.

Qi Heng sighed inwardly with a headache.

He didn't understand why he had to deal with the children's quarrels, but the best solution was to stay out of it. Don't think he didn't know, but whenever he was around, the two little ones were like concubines vying for favor in the harem, neither giving in.

——They all want to be the most special one in front of themselves.

It is best for smart adults not to get involved in such childish drama.

Therefore, Qi Heng chose to keep himself out of trouble.

At this very moment, A0 said to him: "Master, you are really popular with the cubs. They all like you very much."

He would rather not have this kind of popularity.

[Quiet, A0.]

[Triggering the preset keyword automatically activates mute mode. Initial mute duration: five minutes.] The muted A0 knew that the Overlord, sobering the cub, would have no time to attend to matters, so he considerately turned off the content displayed on the system screen.

Sure enough, the Lord did not care about its self-willed behavior.

Qi Heng placed the little bug cub on Qi Lan's tail and said to the confused little bug cub and the bewildered Qi Lan, "You promised me before that you would get along well with me. You should keep your promise, okay?"

When the two met, the cubs, whose minds were not even as young as those of three-year-olds, looked at each other, and turned their heads away in tacit understanding the next second.

But even so, Qi Lan did not shake the little bug off his tail.

Similarly, the little bug leaned obediently on Qi Lan, not showing any disgust as if he was going to use his hands and feet to crawl down the next moment.

Qi Heng's mouth twitched: Forget it, I can't teach him, let's talk about business first.

"Xiao Lan." he called.

Hearing Qi Heng's voice, Qi Lan, who was still angry with the little bug, turned around immediately and responded with a happy "Ao~~".

'exist--! '

In Qi Lan's heart, Xiong Fu is the most important, and Xiong Fu takes second place to everything else.

"I have something to ask you."

“Ouch.”

"Is the energy you have stored now enough to build a C-level resource insect nest?" Qi Heng said as he turned on the light brain and projected a map of Tianyun Star after it was unfolded.

This is the mineral vein distribution map of Tianyun Star.

From the map, we can clearly see that various mineral resources are distributed on it. The gray ones are obsidian veins that are being mined, and the other side, farther away and closer to the ocean, is dyed light blue.

Currently, two-thirds of the ore produced by the Obsidian Mines is used for the production of the original Zerg, and one-third is used as energy reserves.

He had already decided that once the ore mining on the other side of the ocean was on track, he would allocate one-third of the obsidian crystal vein production to Qi Lan. This way, he could speed up the growth of the original Zerg.

The more Primal Zerg there are, the faster you can acquire resources.

Qi Heng had already experienced this when playing the game. Not only could a sufficient number of primitive Zergs shorten the time required to accumulate original capital in the early stages, but their speed in grabbing resources was no less than that of resource collection technology below level four.

Although the system already has hundreds of thousands of energy points in reserve, no one would think that having too much money is too much.

What's more, whether it is building a dungeon or improving the civilization level of the Tianjia Zerg, a large amount of technological items will be needed to support it... and it is faster to use the system to manufacture directly than to develop various equipment from scratch.

However, whether it is the former or the latter, both consume a lot of energy.

A fully constructed C-class resource hive has an area of ​​approximately three kilometers. Compared to S-, A-, and B-class resource hives, it's not as large. After all, the higher the hive, the larger its area. Once an S-class resource hive is constructed, it's intended to mine resources from a single star system.

However, if it is just a small-scale resource mining on the planet, Class C is sufficient.

...They are typically stationed near resource-rich mineral veins to gather resources, remaining until the vein is completely depleted. A standard hive contains 3,000 Miner Worms, 1 Devourer, 1 Gold Devourer, and 24 Swift Blade Worms, with additional tool worms added as needed.

Qi Lan calculated it, nodded and said "Oh", indicating that there was no problem.

"Add two more gold-eating bugs." Qi Heng said as he looked at the gold-eating bugs lying lazily in the corner.

The remaining metal beneath the dead egg pit had been devoured, leaving the gold-eating bugs with nothing to do. Rather than letting them idle away here, they should be sent to the soon-to-be-established hive to generate heat and shine… Besides being able to devour and control metal, the gold-eating bugs also had the added advantage of generating foreign exchange for civilization, generating heat and shine.

The various metals they swallow will produce magical changes in their bodies, and eventually grow into a thick metal shell.

The metal shell will form different alloy shells depending on the type of metal it swallows. If it swallows T-384 metal, the resulting shell will be a very rare special alloy. It is an indispensable resource whether it is used in the field of psychic weapon manufacturing or high-end equipment research and development.

It just so happened that the newly selected mine was accompanied by a T-384 metal vein, and sending it to the mine to shine and generate heat could be considered a perfect match for the job.

Well, as for the special alloy produced, it is not used at the moment?

That doesn’t matter, it will always be useful in the future.
