Little Yi and Little Hong ate with great relish.
Xiao Er was eventually divided into two portions.
However, ants have small mouths; two mouths are about the size of a grain of rice.
It's something you can only taste.
Zhao Zian was just about to return his consciousness to the real world and take a rest.
Because he never expected this foxtail grass to provide any special effects.
It would be good enough if it could improve the overall size of the ants.
Who knew that he had only taken a sip of his cola when Xiao Yi brought him good news.
"Gods...genes...modification..."
"puff!"
One sip of cola was enough to make him lose control, and he immediately sprayed it out.
And right next to it was a mouse, who was immediately sprayed with cola.
"What are you doing, Zi'an!"
The mouse turned its head angrily and glared at Zhao Zian.
"Cough cough cough... Sorry, sorry, little mouse."
"Cough... I choked, I accidentally choked while drinking cola..."
I forced myself to suppress my excitement and took the hamster to the tap to rinse it with running water.
Then we returned to the perspective of the temporary anthill.
When the god's perspective shifted to Xiao Yi...
The status bar has changed.
From the perspective of a god, the status bar only displays health points and any buffs applied.
The rest of the space is completely blank.
However, now in Xiao Yi's status bar, in addition to the status bar and health points, there is also a gene modification option.
That's right, it's a genetic modification similar to that of the Zerg.
The divine perspective is the manifestation of various abilities in a form understood by the deity itself.
This genetically modified talent was acquired by Xiao Yi after eating the foxtail grass.
It was simply presented as a game option.
Zhao Zian studied the genetic modification carefully.
We found a lot of genes inside, but they were scattered haphazardly.
There are also some genes that have been combined together to create combat units.
For example, worker ants and soldier ants are combinations of genes.
Then, acid-resistant genes and so on were added on top.
There are also some power genes and such, which I think I obtained when I devoured the horned beetle.
No wonder ants are now more aggressive and bite harder; they have this powerful gene now.
Zhao Zian originally thought it was just normal evolution.
There are also genes that produce formic acid, etc. These genes were acquired after fighting with red imported fire ants, which is already known.
Other talents include shell enhancement, digging ability, stomach enhancement, and stamina enhancement.
These are all relatively normal, weak talents.
The effect of the increase was not significant.
After studying it, Zhao Zian couldn't contain his excitement.
Previously, it all depended on luck to get a new unit, but now you can transform yourself to get a new unit.
The first thing he did was to fuse the genes of red imported fire ants and big-headed ants.
Based primarily on the genes of giant ants.
The big-headed ant combines all the advantages of the red imported fire ant, such as its agility and strong attack power.
Combined with the ant's own strength and defense.
Combat effectiveness has been directly and significantly enhanced.
However, the consumption may be greater in the future, since each new talent requires more energy.
But it's absolutely worth it.
Moreover, during Zhao Zian's continuous exploration, he also discovered genetic modification, which contained a hidden gene.
That's the gene of specialized ants.
It appears to be a gene that increases in size.
This situation exists in the real world.
Some unusually large units will inexplicably appear among the ants.
These are what are called specialized ants, which are basically ants with an abnormally large body size.
Even with current technology, we haven't been able to figure out a specific reason.
Various theories have emerged, with all sorts of outrageous reasons, but none have ever been substantiated.
Zhao Zian frowned and studied the gene.
This thing is hidden.
Or perhaps this gene is sealed away.
The specialized ants that were produced previously were probably lucky; they produced two.
Anyway, they never produced any more specialized ants after that.
However, there seems to be a crack on this seal?
Zhao Zian had absolutely no idea what to do.
This specialized ant's genes are definitely very strong, but why can't it be used?
With a thought, Zhao Zian transmitted a wisp of divine power to the other party.
Xiao Yi was eating food in the nest when he suddenly came into contact with this wisp of divine power.
In an instant, that familiar feeling enveloped my body once again.
The insect became larger, and its attributes improved in all aspects.
However, Zhao Zian did not see the crack in the hidden gene growing larger in its status bar.
It seems that divine power has no effect on activating this hidden gene.
Is it possible for divine power to only enhance attributes but not unlock this gene?
Or perhaps the quantity isn't enough? Do we need to transfer more divine power to unlock this gene?
Zhao Zian was also unsure.
If you can't figure it out, then stop thinking about it.
Since this gene is here, there will definitely be a chance to unlock it in the future.
Zhao Zian tried gene modification again, and he planned to create the insect bomber.
Previously, two flying ants had to hug a jet bug to barely form a bug bomber.
Zhao Zian plans to directly fuse the genes of flight and jet propulsion together.
Without hesitation, he began the operation.
...
However, Zhao Zian only discovered the difficulties after officially improving the genes.
Each time genes are improved, a large amount of food is required.
Moreover, the modified effect may not be as powerful as imagined.
This bug bomber was a failed improvement plan.
The gene of flying ants was used as the main component, and the special glands of spray insects that produce acetic acid were added.
Although it did indeed combine the two genes together.
The massive ammunition storage glands are extremely heavy.
It would be difficult for the genes for flight to propel such a heavy object into flight.
Later, Zhao Zian reduced the size of the gland that produces acetic acid and increased the size of the wings for flight.
It did take flight this time, but it was extremely cumbersome.
They fly very slowly, having completely lost the agility characteristic of flying ants.
Furthermore, with the glands storing formic acid reduced in size, the amount of ammunition stored has also decreased significantly, resulting in a weaker striking effect.
Moreover, after the sprayer insect sprays its formic acid, the flying ants can release the sprayer insect.
Then the remaining flying ants rejoined the battle.
However, the jetting ants created this time have completely lost their ability to fight head-on.
Its excessively slow movement speed and weak defense make it an easy target for enemies.
Furthermore, the cost of producing this unit is equally staggering.
