The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 270 - 181 "Candy Tree

Since it involves gene enhancement, naturally there must be a target as the foundation.

And this is also her process of incidental preliminary enhancement and new species cultivation.

With these steps stacking up, it’s impossible to fully enhance all those gene entries in just one night.

Fortunately, Bai Yi knows this major project cannot be completed in a short time, and with no strong pursuit of combat power at present, she is not in a hurry.

This allows her to do meticulous work slowly, with ample time to present these genes in the most perfect manner.

The first enhancement target she picked for tonight is those most basic secretion-related genes.

Since it is merely the enhancement and branching of existing giant crops, the difficulty is not high aside from the enhancement of new genes.

Even for several new secretion-related genes that require the cultivation of new crops, it can easily be done with a template.

After dinner, with the experience she gained in the instance, Bai Yi spent less than three hours to complete the cultivation and enhancement of the crops.

The enhanced crops mainly focus on various nutrients and sugars, allowing them to basically meet all nutritional needs.

Of course, this is mainly for humans and other mutant creatures.

Witches have long lost the dependence on these exogenous substances through gene enhancements, not just in terms of energy needs for their bodies.

There are often many substances in an organism’s body that they cannot synthesize, but are essential; in most cases, these can be absorbed from food.

But how could Bai Yi not have thought of such an obvious defect? In witches, Bai Yi had already addressed it while making witches independent of grain, truly freeing witches from seeking external substances.

For witches, the more important aspect of food is its different flavors.

After all, with their equally powerful digestive abilities, witches, unlike other creatures, will not suffer from diseases due to the excessive intake of a certain substance.

If they wish, witches can even swiftly consume ten to eight tons of salt at once.

——Provided that the substance being swallowed is edible.

At least for now, Bai Yi’s witches do not have the capacity to consume inorganic materials, but that’s also about to change.

Bai Yi has long been anticipating the day when her witches can perform the magnificent feat of living nuclear fuel just like the "Godzilla" she saw in movies before coming to this world!

However, to achieve this goal, the Metalization gene entry is an indispensable step, and of course, before that, the current genes must be completed.

Aside from the crops that have been enhanced and improved, there are several genes whose secretions could not be mixed with existing crops and had to be created as new crops.

This includes rubber and sugar.

For the former, Bai Yi abandoned the gene’s original form of sap secretion and instead cultivated a special type of fruit tree.

Its coagulated fruit is roughly the size of a watermelon, and the rubber completes the steps normally needed on a rubber tree as the fruit matures.

Once ripe and fallen naturally, one simply needs to pick it up, peel the skin, and there’s the rubber ready to enter the industrial process.

The latter is similar to rubber, although sugar can entirely be fused into various fruits, Bai Yi ultimately gave up on this point.

After all, what the witches need are their taste and texture, and if the sugar content is maxed out, while it might be maxed out from an energy perspective, witches don’t need that.

So in those fruit trees, she only appropriately fused and adjusted the sugar content of their fruits to breed varieties of different sweetness.

And the real sugar is still produced by a new type of crop.

Just like the rubber tree, this "Candy Tree" also completes the solidification of syrup during the fruit’s maturation period.

After harvesting, one can directly obtain blocks of sugar ready for processing, which is very convenient.

However, these "Candy Trees" cannot meet the production of all types of sugar.

One particular type of sugar, called lactose, was not produced in the "Candy Tree" form by Bai Yi. This gene’s secretion comes from a plant called a "Milk Tree," named for its sap which is very similar to milk from cows and various organisms.

And naturally, this could not be produced in a solid form.

Given that there is no animal husbandry business in the territory at present and dairy products are out of the question, Bai Yi would certainly not miss this opportunity to fill the gap.

As a sugar to be produced in liquid form, Bai Yi did not continue with the gene’s prototype, producing milk directly from the tree itself.

Not only would it be unsightly, but it would also be inconvenient to collect.

In the end, Bai Yi emulated the coconut tree to cultivate a special type of Milk Tree, and its coconut water was replaced with milk.

With these crops, witches can look forward to adding new ingredients to their dining tables in the future.

After cultivating the first generation crops, Bai Yi took advantage of the early timing and brought them to Rice Forest Town, not far from Eternal Life City.

Using her superpower to rapidly mature them for production, she then returned to the territory to rest, preparing for the next day’s gene enhancement.

......

The next day, in front of the gate in combat zone area 93.

After four days of battle, it was now the fifth day since the battle zone had been opened.

The temporary mission that began two days ago was also about to end, entering the settlement phase.

Apart from the initial two days of adapting to land activities, Yun Dao had already become accustomed to the land and, with the witches, resumed her conquest.

This temporary mission was an excellent opportunity for her.

There were significantly more treasure boxes distributed in the battle zone than she had estimated, greatly increasing the likelihood of gathering 5 boxes and achieving a "zone-wide announcement".

Even if she consciously kept her box count at 4, her sensory range had already reached approximately ten kilometers.

Moreover, to avoid being easily found, lords carrying boxes would certainly keep moving continuously.

But this greatly increased the risk of accidentally coming close to a wild treasure box, triggering the detection.

Even if one left immediately, their location would be known to all, and they could be easily found.

For Yun Dao, these were all excellent prey!

She just needed to follow the obvious treasure boxes, which would likely lead her to the lords’ main bases.

Even if the treasure boxes were not stored at the camp but were carried by small detachments wandering outside, swallowing up the resource boxes would still be a win for her.

As for revealing her own location after accumulating resource boxes, she wasn’t worried at all.

In fact, she even hoped that some lords would come to raid her; she was all too fond of those who presented themselves at her doorstep.

She even formed several witch squads, carrying three or four resource boxes, wandering outside and pretending to be ordinary lords who accidentally exposed their locations.

In order to bait other lords into attacking.

While the main force went straight for the suspected camps of other regional lords and launched targeted raids.

Over the past two days, she had once again absorbed the combat power of two regions that had joined the battle zone.

She had accumulated up to one hundred ninety... ah, now there were two hundred and one resource boxes.

Yun Dao saw the numbers in the panel jump up a few places and knew either one of the trap squads had made a gain or they had found another lord’s resource boxes.

However, this was of little consequence; gains were good, but she wouldn’t actively seek them out.

With just a few hours left before the temporary challenge ended and after two days of combat, Yun Dao planned to let the witches rest and digest the gains of these two days.

During these two days of battle, other than the lord leading the Beastmen she encountered at the start, Yun Dao had not come across a second fifth-tier lord.

Regrettably, the Beastman lord after retreating into his own territory had not emerged since, as if the earlier battles had scared him off.

He didn’t even attempt reconnaissance, forcing her to clean up that camp a bit, pretending that the main force had left to lure him into retaliating.

Now it seemed that the lord had decided not to come out at all.

Although the next two areas only had some fourth-tier lords, the gains were still considerable.

Not to mention the points obtained after defeating them all, which could be exchanged for several desirable rewards in the always-open Points Mall, the greatest gain was the new witches assimilated after merging the combat units!

Especially in yesterday’s battle, she had acquired new knowledge from a lord who followed the path of magic!

It was about Rune Studies, a field that the expeditionary army had not yet ventured into.

And just yesterday, the "Information Broadcast" also provided fragmented knowledge about Rune Studies; coupled together, they had formed the basis of Rune Studies. freewebnøvel.coɱ

She was now keen to learn this knowledge, transforming it into her own strength, which was the real reason she stopped.

After clearing the backlog of messages in her Spiritual Connection, Yun Dao did not immediately start studying these pieces of knowledge.

She had something more important to do today.

Last night, the Primordial Witch Church on the ocean base had been successfully completed!

Her sister had gone there early on to prepare for a sacrifice to the Primordial Witch.

Whether Yun Dao believed in the existence of this suspected witch Racial God, at least for the knowledge obtained during this time, she had to be present for the church’s first sacrifice.

Moreover, she had long accepted this God in her heart.

Her gaze swept over the witches ready to accompany her, and Yun Dao calmly said,

"Praise the Primordial Witch, let us depart!"

......

Milk Fruit Tree: Under timely harvesting conditions, each Milk Fruit Tree can produce up to 5 tons of Milk Fruit per hour. These fruits filled with sweet milk are very popular, especially sought after by witches who are not confident about their figures and hope to grow...

[Note: Damn it, I’ve been drinking every day, why can’t I surpass my little sister! She’s only 12 years old!]

[Note’s Note: If you can’t even surpass your 12-year-old sister... sister, you really are pitiful]
