The energy transformed from hundreds of second-level ferocious beasts is enough to upgrade Li Ran’s level 2 mother nest to level 3!
Two or three hours later, in the center of a thousand Zerg nests, a level 3 mother nest about seventy or eighty meters high exploded, emitting a heavy, terrifying, bloodthirsty and ancient aura.
"A level 3 insect nest has unlocked a lot of buildings. First build a laboratory, then build a ground spike insect hole, and the energy will be almost there. After all, there is still an extreme shortage of energy. It seems that even in the intermediate insect nest, there is still a lack of energy!" Li Ran frowned.
This made Li Ran feel a little uncomfortable, but he could also understand it. To him, no matter how much energy he possessed, he was just one person, while the Zerg were a race!
In a sense, Li Ran was just one of the human race on Blue Star, while the Zerg were on the same level as the human race. As an individual among the human race, how could he support the entire Zerg race? They still had to rely on themselves!
“Fortunately, compared to Sarah who really started from scratch, I have it much easier!
The most important thing for the Zerg is energy, and the way to obtain energy is ultimately strength. Whether it's hunting ferocious beasts or plundering mineral veins, strength is required. Once you reach the intermediate level, all spirit stones should be used to improve combat effectiveness, so that you can fight to support yourself!"
Li Ran quickly came up with a plan in his mind. Originally, he wanted to have some fun, but now he couldn't bear to give up his Zerg base.
Next, Li Ran began to wait patiently for the construction of the laboratory. As an extremely important component of the Zerg, the construction time of the laboratory was longer than the time it took for the Zerg nest to evolve twice. Li Ran waited for seven or eight hours before it was completed.
After coming out of the Level 1 laboratory, Li Ran moved the Black Flame Kangaroo Leader and several worker bees in for research, and then continued to control the Zerg to go out hunting. At the same time, most of Li Ran's remaining energy was used to hatch worker bees.
A thousand worker bees may seem like a lot compared to in the game, but in reality they are too few. The hive can convert all matter into Zerg energy, including sand, stones, and soil, which is similar to Li Ran's supreme power that devours everything and turns it into cultivation value.
But the Zerg will not do useless work. They can use the fungal mat to absorb nutrients from the soil, stones and the like, and use the hive to transform them. The energy consumed in the transformation is not as much as the energy after the transformation.
As Li Ran led the Zerg to kill batch after batch of ferocious beasts, and more and more worker bees moved in like a swarm of locusts, they mined the area within dozens of kilometers around completely. All the grass and trees were converted into low-level energy by the Zerg. Moreover, among these Zerg nests, there were many mid-level treasures that could not be converted yet, and they were very valuable.
“Huh…is this bauxite?”
At this time, Li Ran suddenly felt the information from some worker bees. There was a high-energy substance under those worker bees. He immediately used his spiritual sense to investigate and found that the high-energy substance that the worker bees thought was actually bauxite!
"Upgrade the drilling skill..."
"...Insufficient energy..."
Zerg buildings are expensive, but skills are even more expensive. Li Ran can't even upgrade his burrowing skill now, so he can only stand there dumbfounded.
There was no way Li Ran could do but to suppress his excitement. A drilling skill would cost 100,000 low-grade spirit stones and 10 million units of low-level energy, which was ten times that of a level 1 insect nest!
However, this is not much. The Zerg now has tens of thousands of tributes mining all the exploitable energy in front of them, and it will be obtained in less than a day. But Li Ran can't wait that long, he really doesn't have that patience.
"I can only cheat..." Li Ran thought for a moment and flew into the sky.
…
A few hours later, Li Ran returned to the Zerg base. With a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of ferocious beasts of all kinds lay on the ground, piling up into a small hill.
This mountain of murderer corpses contains almost all third-level beasts, with few second-level beasts. Li Ran felt it was a waste of time, so he focused on killing third-level beasts. There were also more than a dozen mid-level beasts among them. Although they could not be transformed now, they could definitely be transformed into level 4 insect nests, so he used them as a reserve energy source.
Thousands of worker bees quickly moved the ferocious beasts that could be transformed to the nearby insect nest and transformed the low-level energy of the Zerg. The low-level energy of Li Ran's Zerg base directly increased by tens of millions of low-grade spirit stones. According to the conversion rate of 1,000 low-level energy to low-grade spirit stones, Li Ran obtained tens of billions of low-level energy.
"Hehe...it feels so good to cheat!" Li Ran thought about those miserable Zerg losers in Taboo No. 24, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, the soft and sweet voice of Blade Queen Sarah came into Li Ran's mind: "Husband, I want..."
"Ahem..." Hearing this sound, Li Ran almost couldn't hold back, but he still calmed down and generously gave half of his low-level energy to Sarah. His woman, Li Ran, has always been generous.
"Thank you, husband..." Sarah said excitedly. What made Li Ran quite regretful was that Sarah was his slave and could do any posture he wanted. Otherwise, just based on her inner excitement at the moment, if she were an ordinary woman, she would definitely be able to unlock many postures.
With Li Ran's 20 billion low-level energy, Sarah's favorability towards Li Ran increased greatly. For her, the growth of the Zerg's strength is what she values most. Her mission since birth is to plunder all plunderable resources to increase her own strength.
…
Three days later, Li Ran brought Sarah back to Zhehang City-State!
During these three days, Li Ran's insect nest was upgraded to level 4, and all other buildings were upgraded to level 4 by him. If the Zerg in Taboo No. 24 knew about this, they would definitely be sad when they heard it and cry when they smelled it.
They had to save and live frugally for dozens or hundreds of years to upgrade a skill or add a building, but Li Ran completed the journey that took them thousands of years to complete in just a few days.
