The system's mechanical synthesized voice rang in Su Bai's ears.
[Hint: Congratulations! Newly promoted Lord Su Bai has topped the leaderboard after the five rounds of beast tides!]
[Hint: Obtain the top-ranked exclusive reward, the Zerg-exclusive building – the Hive]
[Hint: You have received an additional unique mystery reward – Hero's Heart: Evolution Master]
"Main Nest? Hero's Heart? The name sounds pretty good!"
Su Bai's eyes lit up, and he was about to check the storage space.
Just then, a purple light appeared out of nowhere within the territory.
A brand new building is rising from the ground.
"It turns out that the exclusive reward for the top spot isn't a building blueprint, but a fully completed building!"
A hint of joy appeared in Su Bai's eyes.
Using architectural blueprints requires certain resources.
If certain special resources are also needed, then things could get complicated.
Even with a lot of searching, you might not find it.
Therefore, rewarding completed buildings is the easiest approach.
One minute later.
The light faded.
A circular building, 10 meters high and 20 meters in diameter, appeared before Su Bai's eyes.
Its appearance exhibits a unique biological structure, resembling a giant insect nest.
Its outer shell is purplish-gray and covered with various complex patterns and protrusions, making it look both mysterious and sturdy.
Surrounded by rings of tentacles, it was deeply rooted in the ground.
"Look at this presentation, it's kind of imposing!"
Su Bai sighed repeatedly.
Looking closely, rows of data popped up.
[Main Nest]
[Level: Lv1]
[Quality: A Myth of Ultimate Excellence]
[Unique: Exclusive Building for the Zerg in StarCraft]
[Introduction: The main hive performs a vital function for the survival of the Zerg and is also a massive genetic collection.]
[Function: Hatching larvae]
[Note: 10 larvae can hatch every 24 hours. The hatched larvae are of the same level and quality as the main nest.]
Upgrade Requirements: 1000 Wood, 1000 Stone, 1000 Basic Energy Gems
[Next level: Increase the number of larvae that can hatch per day to 20]
[Note: The building level cannot be higher than the territory level, otherwise the upgrade will fail.]
"larva?"
"Another brand new Zerg unit, I wonder what kind of role it will play?"
Under Su Bai's expectant gaze, the biomass inside the main nest began to surge wildly.
Soon after, 10 plump larvae hatched.
They have multi-segmented bodies, high-density sacs, and move very slowly.
It took a full minute for it to crawl from the main nest to the ground.
"Although it's a larva, it's quite large, about forty centimeters long!"
As he spoke, lines of information popped up in front of Su Bai's eyes.
【larva】
[Level: Lv1]
Race: Interstellar Zerg
[Quality: A Myth of Ultimate Excellence]
[Talent 1: Genetic Inheritance]
Larvae in a newly formed cluster can inherit the complete DNA sequence carried by the main nest, and after selection, they can evolve into different individuals.
[Talent 2: Genetic Recombination]
As the colony continues to evolve, existing larvae absorb new genetic data and mutate into entirely new individuals.
[Combat Strength: Level 0.1]
Loyalty: 100
[Introduction: The larva is the original form of the Zerg, inheriting the Zerg genetic code preserved in the main hive. It can receive different gene sequences, transform into a cocoon, and replicate the implanted DNA at an astonishing rate. Finally, it mutates into the corresponding adult according to the instructions of the genes.]
[Mutation into a springtail: Requires 10 biomass]
[Mutate into a Hydralisk: Requires 30 Biomass]
"Holy crap!"
"So powerful!"
"So the purpose of the larvae is to mutate into different combat units!"
Su Bai was overjoyed, his eyes filled with excitement.
Previously, there were only two ways to obtain troops within the territory.
First, the incubator offers free recruitment on a fixed schedule.
Second, consume souls to recruit independently from the hatchery.
Now, a completely new approach has finally emerged.
The main nest hatches larvae, which consume biomass and mutate into different unit types.
Although the hatching efficiency of the main nest is currently low, only 10 larvae can hatch every 24 hours.
However, the upgrade information is very clear: as long as the main nest's level is increased, the number of larvae hatched each day will increase.
If the level increases, the number of hatched larvae will definitely become astonishing.
Moreover, as the colony continues to upgrade and evolve, it will acquire more complex and numerous gene sequences.
At that time, the larvae will be able to mutate into more fighting individuals.
"The appearance of the main hive and larvae has greatly increased the growth rate of the interstellar swarm!"
"The overwhelming swarm of insects that engulfs the enemy is not just a figment of imagination."
"The small goal we set earlier, to increase the number of interstellar swarms to over ten thousand, will probably be achieved very soon!"
Su Bai was beaming with joy, his face practically bursting with laughter.
The exclusive rewards for the top scorer are indeed quite generous.
The importance of the main nest is undeniable; it is extremely crucial.
"Let's see what that one and only extra mystery reward—Heart of Heroes: Evolution Master—is all about."
Su Bai was about to check the storage space.
Just then, the system's mechanical synthesized voice sounded again.
[Note: Due to your outstanding performance during the beast tide, repeatedly breaking the highest record in the Land of Redemption and achieving a precipitous lead in points, you have received a special bonus!]
[Note: The special bonus has taken effect! All buildings within your territory have been upgraded to the same level as your territory!]
"There are even special bonus rewards! The Land of Redemption is really good to me!"
Su Bai was overjoyed, and the corners of his mouth turned up in delight.
He glanced at it quickly.
[Territory Buildings]
[Hatchery Lv6]
【Manor Lv6】
[Main Nest Lv6]
【Evolution Chamber Lv6】
[Spire Lv6]
[Exploding Insect Nest Lv6]
【Spore Crawler Lv6】
[Watchtower Lv6]
A level 6 main nest can hatch 80 larvae every 24 hours.
A level 6 manor can produce two more types of food.
Spicy roasted lamb leg, Zhuge roasted fish.
[Foods that can be produced: steamed buns, corn, pork jerky, braised beef, charcoal-roasted duck, spicy roasted lamb leg, and Zhuge grilled fish]
"Pork, beef, duck, mutton, and fish—now we have it all! Life will be even better from now on!"
As he spoke, Su Bai couldn't help but swallow hard.
The upgraded spire increases the chances of finding interstellar Zerg flying creatures during free regular recruitment at the hatchery.
The upgraded blast bug nest allows the blast bugs to release a more powerful impact and a more corrosive acid when they explode.
After the spore crawler is upgraded, it can cause even greater damage.
At this moment, the synthesized mechanical voice of the system sounded again.
[Note: The Evolution Chamber has reached Lv6, and a new evolution sequence has appeared. Please check it out yourself, Lord.]
