Soon it was evening.
Zhao Zian's mental energy was exhausted once again. He switched between various divine perspectives and directed the ants to do this and that.
However, this time he lasted much longer. After returning to his room, he chatted on the forum for a while and then started working in the other world, continuing until this evening.
Moreover, even now that my mental energy is completely depleted, I don't feel the dizziness and nausea I had at the beginning; I'm just slightly tired.
It's also possible that the air conditioning made it cooler, so the discomfort wasn't as severe.
After all, I had exhausted my mental energy under the sun at the beginning, and I almost had heatstroke.
However, the rewards were also very substantial.
They caught about ten more slime worms, and also two birds. These two birds were shot down by the slime worms when they went to hunt them.
Since Zhao Zian happened to see it, he simply accepted it along with the other items.
Moreover, he discovered some other creatures.
While exploring to the left, Zhao Zian discovered bees.
They are exactly like real bees, collecting nectar from flowers and returning to their hives. They look the same, have the same habits, and their hives are almost identical.
A huge beehive with hexagonal holes hangs on an old tree.
There are also some native ants, spiders, centipedes, and all sorts of other creatures. It feels like many real-world creatures exist in this other world, though they may have some variations, but they all look roughly the same.
If it weren't for some other magical creatures that don't exist in reality...
Zhao Zian genuinely believed this was a primeval forest on Earth.
Among the spoils of war from the ant army were some spiders and centipedes from another world, but none of them were particularly strong. At least when faced with the ants' overwhelming numbers, they couldn't exert much of their power.
The sap from bamboo shoots, as well as some fallen leaves, were also collected.
You should also eat some vegetables; a balanced diet with both meat and vegetables is healthier.
However, some native ants seem to be in a very bad situation, looking thin and frail, and their diet seems to consist only of fallen leaves.
After observing for a while, Zhao Zian discovered that these native ants were basically no match for anyone; anything could defecate on their heads.
Worker ants are about two millimeters long, and there is no differentiation of soldier ants at all. When they encounter an enemy, they send out the slightly larger worker ants to fight. However, the largest worker ants in this type of ant are only about three or four millimeters long.
When Zhao Zian was observing, a spider came to invade, but the worker ants were all swallowed up by the spider, without causing any harm at all.
Moreover, it was cowardly. After eating some ants, it ran away. In fact, if it had really surrounded the spider, it could have defeated it with its numerical advantage. It was just afraid and dared not fight. It was too cowardly.
Pure cowardice.
Zhao Zian, who had a great fondness for ants, couldn't stand it any longer and immediately commanded his army of ants to kill the spider.
Upon encountering Zhao Zi'an's army of ants, the native ants, having never seen anything like it before, surprisingly dared to attack.
After some worker ants were killed, they got scared and all ran away.
Zhao Zian didn't intend to exterminate them; he was still quite interested in the native ants.
Unfortunately, his mental energy was almost depleted, otherwise he would have observed him further, hoping to develop him into one of his own underlings.
"Xiao An, dinner's ready!"
Just as Zhao Zian was rubbing his temples, taking a break to recover his energy,
Grandma's voice came from downstairs in the ancestral home we built ourselves.
"Oh! Here it comes!"
Zhao Zian called downstairs.
Just as Zhao Zian was about to go downstairs, the mouse lying on the table rolled over and then sat up groggily.
Good morning, Zian.
"Good morning my foot, you just took a nap."
Seeing the hamster looking a bit dazed, Zhao Zian flicked it on the forehead to wake it up.
The mouse, having been hit on the forehead, seemed even more confused.
The mouse covered its forehead with its paws, a trace of drool at the corner of its mouth, looking completely dumbfounded.
"Mommy, I think I heard it's time to eat! Mommy wants to eat too..."
Zhao Zi'an rubbed his forehead. (Same style as General Yu)
"Then I'll get you something to eat later. I can't take you downstairs to eat. If my grandparents see a mouse, they might kill it on the spot."
The mouse's eyes immediately cleared, its gaze becoming as firm as if it were about to join the Party.
"Okay, Zian, don't forget to bring me lunch."
He nodded.
Afterwards, Zhao Zian went downstairs to eat.
After eating for a short while, he used the excuse that he wanted to go upstairs to eat and watch TV, filled a bowl with rice and some vegetables, and then ran back to his room.
After being scolded by his grandparents for being so engrossed in watching TV that he didn't even want to eat, he successfully brought food to the hamster.
The meal was finished very quickly.
The mouse received a lump of rice and a large piece of braised pork.
Her belly was round and full from eating so much; she was already a little chubby, but now she looked like a ball.
"Phew, I'm so full. It's been a long time since I've eaten this much. When I was with my previous owner, I was chased by other enemies and didn't even have time to eat."
Zhao Zian looked at the mouse with pity, but did not ask about its former owner.
He has absolutely no interest in gossip right now.
I already have a lot of questions bottled up inside.
"Cheer up, little mouse. From now on, I'll make sure you have a full meal every day while I'm here."
"Hehe, thanks Zian!"
The little mouse's face immediately lit up with a smile as bright as a flower.
Was I really that badly off before...?
"Um... Mouse, while you were asleep, I discovered some more problems..."
"Didn't you say before that after evolution, there might be some talents that will be awakened? Now my queen ant lays eggs very quickly, and the hatching speed is also very fast. It can grow from an egg into a mature worker ant in half an hour!"
Zhao Zian then went on to explain some details, as if afraid that Shushu might not have understood.
At this moment, the mouse also stopped smiling and slowly nodded after listening to Zhao Zian's description.
"This must be talent. Apart from those talents inherited from bloodline, awakened talents are often related to the deepest desires of the awakener."
After listening to what the rat said, Zhao Zian roughly understood some of the reasons. When he sent the ant queen to another world, he let her develop her race.
Moreover, the queen ant's genes are ingrained in her very being, which will allow her to continuously strengthen her race, so it is not surprising that she awakens this talent that accelerates the hatching of her race.
"Then let me ask, is this kind of talent considered powerful or weak? Is there any talent that can be awakened that allows one to devour everything and evolve wildly to become stronger?"
It seems like in similar novels, many Zerg creatures evolve by consuming other Zerg, gradually approaching the size of interstellar Zerg, and then similar settings are copied to create things like the Blade Bug and the Cockroach...
You know what, although it's a cliché, Zhao Zian is actually a little envious of this kind of development. If there's another system enhancement every now and then, wouldn't that be awesome?
Tell me, Mouse, did you secretly hide a system from me and not let me use it?
Just as Zhao Zian was about to hang the rat up and interrogate it,
Completely unaware of the danger, the mouse replied, "There are no weak talents. All talents are bestowed by heaven. There are no weak talents, only weak users!"
Okay, okay, is that how it is?
