The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 217 - 130 Ability Test, First Level 5 Enhancement

Chapter 217: Chapter 130 Ability Test, First Level 5 Enhancement

"Next time, give me a heads up!

Cats don’t mind being petted! You scared the life out of me!"

Listening to the orange cat grumbling above her, Bai Yi’s face showed no embarrassment, just a beaming smile.

The sound earlier had not only come from reality but had also been received from the Swarm Consciousness.

It was when she was extracting genes from the orange cat and had casually merged it with the Swarm Consciousness, which the cat had not yet adapted to, leading to a slight mishap.

However, with the cat’s abilities, it would soon master it. At the moment, what concerned her more was the cat’s strength.

Even though she had indeed "ambushed" the orange cat, Bai Yi had confirmed that the orange cat was already awake, and its level on the panel had reached lv.60.

"So, Ju, how do you feel now?"

Bai Yi asked with concern in the Swarm Network, and the orange cat, knowing Bai Yi was letting it practice, responded in the network:

"I’ve touched that threshold, but I’ve encountered the same panel resistance again, unable to truly ascend to Tier 6.

However, the resistance seems much lesser this time, allowing me to circumvent this limitation and attempt a breakthrough in superpowers!

I’m going to rest for a bit now, get in a good state, and try again tonight!"

Was it because of permissions...

Listening to orange cat’s account, Bai Yi immediately thought of this possibility.

Since her main body had already obtained quite a few permissions, then her subordinate combat units, who had also lost the convenience of experience points, should likewise have been granted some.

And acquiring permissions naturally meant a reduction in restrictions.

"Yes, be careful.

By the way, my superpower can now affect you, Ju. Do you want to try it first?

By enhancing all your attributes comprehensively, your breakthrough could be more assured!"

The orange cat seriously considered Bai Yi’s suggestion, and after just over ten seconds, it nodded earnestly.

"Okay!"

Who would bother striving every day to painstakingly gather magic power if there is an easier way to level up, as long as there are no negative consequences?

Not taking the clear shortcuts or utilizing available resources, instead choosing to take each step one at a time, is like having the ability for Space Transmission yet choosing to walk.

That’s not diligence; it’s simply foolishness.

For the orange cat, freeload from Bai Yi brings no psychological burden at all.

That’s its confidence from having sided with Bai Yi since when she was weak!

Watching Bai Yi’s growth, it felt like a human who bet right on a lottery, extremely satisfied with its own judgment.

In just a short span of two months, it could "retire" comfortably, absolutely hitting the jackpot.

"I’ve been eyeing those witches of yours for a while now! Quickly give me a full set of what they have!"

The orange cat lightly tapped Bai Yi’s head with its paw, its tail swaying happily and involuntarily, causing Bai Yi’s hair to rustle.

And since the orange cat was so cooperative, Bai Yi would naturally not be polite; she immediately tried on the orange cat her own superpower that advanced to Tier 5.

Although the acquisition of permissions meant that part of the control of the superpower was transferred to her, the initial control was a bit clumsy.

But after all, it was Bai Yi’s own inherent superpower. With the fusion of genes and experience from prior gene extractions, Bai Yi became increasingly proficient, and the process went extremely smoothly.

Other than some genes specifically confined to humans, Bai Yi almost completely replicated all the attributes she extracted from the witches onto the orange cat.

But this still wasn’t enough. After completing the Genetic Fusion, Bai Yi then activated her superpower again, using the new ability[Genetic Adjustment]formed from the fusion of equilibrium and Mutation post-upgrade, to further enhance the orange cat’s superpower.

After all was done, it was nearing evening.

"How do you feel?"

All genetic changes occurred internally, and the orange cat’s appearance showed no obvious change, remaining motionless on the table inside Bai Yi’s tree hollow after the fusion.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Bai Yi eagerly wanted to know the outcome and quickly asked.

"It feels quite wonderful. Just now, it felt like my superpower was reconstructed. To compare, the first enhancement made my superpower’s grasping ability stronger.

Roughly, it can teleport an object the size of that headgear in one go.

The subsequent enhancements then separately strengthened the distance of the teleportation, the size of the Storage Space, and the ability to control space."

Headgear size, which was a hundred thousand cubic meters; Bai Yi immediately recalled the corresponding information about the headgear.

With the sequence described by the orange cat, Bai Yi roughly understood what aspects her recent enhancements corresponded to, and her understanding of the genes she had extracted just now deepened further.

She had deliberately chosen different intervals of that gene segment before enhancement precisely to concurrently conduct research.

Now, although her ability to extract superpower genes post-Tier 5 could extract genes more completely, due to the acquisition of permissions, she couldn’t directly know through the panel which aspect the read genes belonged to like before.

"One could say there’s a give and take."

With a research-centric mindset, Bai Yi continued to ask:

"What about the previous Genetic Fusion, how does it feel?

After the Fusion, I can no longer see Ju’s specific attributes."

"It’s quite hard to explain...

Cats seldom use their physical strength, mainly relying on superpowers for activities, but the effect on the Spirit aspect is indeed significant, improving by at least twice.

However, the storage capacity of the Abnormal Energy of the superpower has indeed increased substantially, at least five times that of the original.

The absorption rate of Abnormal Energy has also increased a lot, approximately three times the original."

Abnormal Energy is also referred to as Magic Power; they are just different names for the same thing, sometimes called energy or even Spiritual Power.

The only difference Bai Yi encountered so far is the "Spiritual Power" used by Extraordinary Relics.

It’s not ordinary Magic Power. Although it behaves similar to Magic Power in most cases, in some circumstances it performs significantly better.

With these data from the orange cat, comparing with the panel before the Fusion, the improvement brought by the gene is quite obvious.

Aside from the temporarily unknown physical dimensions, all improvements were essentially in line with expectations, even the improvement in Spiritual Value was higher than anticipated.

After asking Ju a few more details, Bai Yi finally left Ju’s little house, letting Ju prepare well for the evening’s superpower promotion.

According to what it said, the recent enhancement has brought the superpower close to a Level 6, and promotion should not have any surprises.

Having harvested a batch of new genes and tested his own superpowers, Bai Yi was very satisfied, returning to his tree hole to contemplate the newly acquired genes, preparing to read other Level 5 genes within the territory tomorrow.

But this time, Bai Yi’s promotion stirred more than just disturbances within the territory; the changes in the rankings were visible to the entire White Poplar City!

.........

Nighttime, northwest of White Poplar City, Guangfu Town Ruins, Magic Kingdom

In his own laboratory, Landon had lost all interest in experiments, pacing back and forth in the room.

Why does this scene seem so familiar?

A strange thought abruptly rose in Landon’s mind, only to be quickly overwhelmed by other pressing thoughts.

Today’s battle report showed that after investing those resources, his Heroes successfully used those Magic Power Crystals to bribe many natives.

Even summoned a few Level 6 old-timers, coupled with those special weapons, completely wiped out other Lords’ Level 5 Heroes in the instance, securing an absolute advantage.

However, he was not worried about the instance in the Cycle Challenge, but the cooperation with Fan Mao.

He certainly didn’t want to break the deal, especially since Fan Mao had already advanced to Level 5 by noon today.

After reaching Level 4, he knew how difficult it was to advance to Level 5.

Although he was unclear about how Fan Mao did it, the promotion was a nailed-down fact, and White Poplar City had welcomed a Level 5 Lord.

If it weren’t for the generally good relations among the Lords of White Poplar City, if it wasn’t for the pleasant relationship he had had with Fan Mao since coming to this world, he would definitely worry whether Fan Mao might show ambition and, with absolute strength, take the entirety of White Poplar City under control.

But White Poplar City is not what he feared in the past – cutthroat intrigues; aside from the Chaos experienced during the last Cycle Challenge, White Poplar City could even be described as harmonious and amiable.

What he considered was another matter, whether to take this cooperative opportunity to show some goodwill to Fan Mao. freёweɓnovel.com

With his current strength, of course, it was not possible to go there, bow down, and completely align himself.

But after today’s Cycle Challenge instance went smoothly, he couldn’t help but ponder the hidden implications of this Cycle Challenge.

This Cycle Challenge has already started involving Lords from other regions. Could it be that lifting regional restrictions was also going to be on the agenda?

Even battles between regions seemed to have become obligatory.

As a Level 4 Lord, it doesn’t just mean he has the ability to become a Hunter; in the eyes of other region’s Lords, he is also a juicy prey!

This was evident from the strengths of other regional Lords in this Cycle Challenge.

Lords from other regions are not only as powerful as him; some are even subtly more formidable.

He didn’t believe he could reach Level 5 based solely on his strength before that, so following the strongest Fan Mao was perhaps the best choice.

Although his desire since obtaining the panel in this world was to become truly Landon I and establish his own Kingdom,

It was his long-standing goal as a son of a ten-generation Noble.

But given the current situation, he might really have to become a subordinate "Kingdom."

"But at least following by Fan Mao’s side still holds an opportunity...

I shouldn’t be too obvious. Plan well tonight and then tomorrow, while preparing to invest in trade, propose to deepen the cooperation and gradually show goodwill..."
