Inside the tailor shop.
Holding the floral dress, Jiang Wang looked at her smiling boss and found herself in a situation that would be unbearable for someone with social anxiety.
I have no money.
It's like encountering an ice cream assassin; should you put it back?
I have no shame.
Not letting go?
What will we use to pay?
Use my stunningly beautiful face?
The young female boss in front of him, who was practically dripping with savagery, seemed to notice Jiang Wang's embarrassment and then giggled.
"Alright~ Consider this dress a gift from your auntie. Here's my business card. If you make it out alive, remember to come find me!"
The boss didn't try to seduce her, but her every smile and gesture seemed to possess endless charm.
Jiang Wang silently put away the business card.
Can you really get something for free by using facial recognition?
"Sister, I...cough cough, thank you, sister!"
Upon hearing this, Carrie smiled broadly and immediately spoke.
"I love young people like you~ Here, take this outfit too... and this one too..."
......
Back in the square, Jiang Wang looked at the nine long dresses, twelve outfits, and even eight sets of clothes for himself in the lord's space... Carrie's enthusiasm made the socially awkward Jiang Wang feel very embarrassed.
They were practically handing the shop over to Jiang Wang.
Looking at the black business card from Starry Sky Circulation in his hand, Jiang Wang couldn't help but feel curious about this force.
[Star Alliance: Aunt Li Xue]
Although he visited every shop he could, he only had this one business card.
Suddenly, a voice appeared in Jiang Wang's mind.
'Master, master~ I've hatched~'
When Jiang Wang stepped into the insect nest again, the entire nest had changed drastically.
The fungal mat extends outwards to 5 meters.
The interior of the insect nest also has many separate ear chambers.
The wriggling flesh walls and various incubation pools gradually formed.
...
Soon, Jiang Wang spotted Anna crouching on the ground in the core area of the insect hive.
"Crack!"
Sensing a familiar presence, Anna turned to look at Jiang Wang.
With large eyes and snow-white skin, two antennae on its head twitched from time to time, and purple-gold armor plates covering important parts such as its neck, it did not appear abrupt, but rather had a strange and enchanting beauty.
Especially the contrast of wearing a floral maxi dress.
If one ignored the insectoid features, Jiang Wang would have thought she was a middle school girl from Earth.
"Master~"
Anna's affectionate voice echoed in Jiang Wang's mind, giving him goosebumps.
"Don't call me master, just call me lord!"
Anna tilted her head and thought for a while, as if trying to understand Jiang Wang's meaning.
After a long while, Anna's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
? ? ?
Fine, as long as I don't call him master, I'll do anything.
Seeing that Jiang Wang didn't say anything, Anna continued to bury her head in her rice, eating her own eggshell.
This shell can be considered the first source of funding for every Zerg Queen. It provides protection during infancy and quickly replenishes the Queen's energy needs after hatching.
The only sound in the entire space was Anna's 'crunching'.
As Anna ate, the armor plates on her body became brighter and more noble, and several options appeared in front of Jiang Wang.
[Initial unit type and gene selection are random.]
【Ant】
Beetle
Mantis
【flea】
【cockroach】
[Choose three out of five]
Looking at the pictures of the five insects in front of him, Jiang Wang did not hesitate and immediately chose fleas, cockroaches, and ants.
From a genetic perspective, the ant's reproductive ability and immense strength, the flea's jumping ability, and the cockroach's defense and survival skills make them some of the most formidable creatures in the insect world.
[Gene selection complete.]
[Troop creation.]
In an instant, countless gene points, like stars, appeared before Jiang Wang.
At this moment, Anna also stood up, closed her eyes, and her whole body radiated a golden-purple light.
Genes, like stars, merge and break apart in the air, or perhaps form new gene sequences.
Jiang Wang didn't just stand by and watch; he used his powerful memory and mental processing abilities.
With Anna having labeled the gene functions, she personally took charge and continuously carried out gene fusion and evolution.
a long time.
Ultimately, three branches of service were formed.
Springtail
It is a product formed mainly by the fusion of genes from ants and fleas, and it has also discovered the rove gene of ants, which enables short-range flight combat.
【cockroach】
Cockroach genes combine the carapace of ants with their immense strength.
It serves both defensive and transportation purposes.
【tank】
Cockroaches, in combination with fleas, use their powerful jumping and defensive abilities to quickly break through and destroy the enemy's formation.
[Gene creation and unit creation complete! Evolution points +50!]
With the unit composition confirmed, Jiang Wang quickly allocated resources: 40% Zerglings, 20% Roaches, 20% Tanks, and the remaining 20% for storing Zergling nests.
With each command issued, the insect hive began to operate rapidly, like a wound-up machine.
30 minutes later.
Jiang Wang and Anna looked at the jumping insects in front of them.
Its pure black carapace covered in barbs, its sharp, scythe-like claws and teeth seem capable of tearing enemies to shreds at any moment, and its powerful thighs and hidden wings on its back fully demonstrate its mobility.
"Killing machine!"
Jiang Wang couldn't help but sigh, no wonder the Zerg were so formidable when he watched StarCraft 2 before.
There was no rush to hatch tanks and cockroaches.
After all, the energy required for these two hatchings is several times that of the springtails, and energy is what the hive is currently lacking the most.
Both incubation pools are operating at full capacity.
One hour later.
A squad of 12 springtails quickly disappeared into the forest.
Watching the killing machine disappear into the distance, Jiang Wang breathed a long sigh of relief.
This was his territory, and he knew, of course, that nothing on this planet could stop this squad's killing spree.
After explaining the remaining matters to Anna, Jiang Wang composed himself.
After all, the recent gene selection and fusion had placed a tremendous burden on his brain and mental strength, and he was already suffering from unbearable headaches.
Beginner Village.
Back in the beginner rest area, Jiang Wang fell asleep immediately.
...
"Have you heard? The Tiger Squad went to explore the central region last night and was completely wiped out!"
"Weren't they a full complement of B-grade talents? They just died like that??"
"Who knows what kind of monster they encountered."
"Now only three S-rank teams dare to venture into the central region; the rest can only dabble in the scraps on the outskirts..."
While Jiang Wang rested, the guide directly imparted some basic knowledge about this world to him in the public chat.
For example, the characteristics of mythical beasts, the advancement of territories and troop types... all of this greatly inspired people's enthusiasm for entering the forest to fight, especially given the limited lifespan.
As the people around him talked, Jiang Wang slowly woke up, rubbing his head.
My head still hurts, but it's bearable.
After meditating with my eyes closed for an hour, the headache gradually subsided.
This is how he deals with every headache.
Each time mental energy is exhausted, its quality and quantity will surpass those of the previous level as mental energy gradually recovers through meditation.
With his mental energy restored, Jiang Wang even felt his senses were clear and his mind was refreshed.
He calmed himself and returned to the Lord's Space.
Just one night.
Jiang Wang was utterly shocked by the Zerg's development.
The fungal carpet outside the insect nest has already covered a radius of 30 meters.
The number of springtail troops has also increased dramatically from the original 12 to more than 400.
There were even two units of 100 cockroaches and tanks mining and transporting minerals.
Open the Lord's Information Panel.

Springtail
[Breeding (7/20) LV1]
Attack (10/20) LV1
【Devour (3/20) LV1】
[Defense (4/20) LV1]
Remaining evolution points: 50
Jiang Wang hesitated for a moment, then, thinking of the great battle that was coming in 6 days, he directly maxed out Devour, Attack, and Reproduction, and promoted them to LV2, making them all (0/50).
Leave 10 evolution points as a backup.
As for defense?
Death is meaningless in the face of the Zerg's ability to mass produce units.
