The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 17 - The First Golden Troops

```

[Due to the special nature of consumed materials (Second Tier Giant Boar Pork), your Killing Giant Bee Hive construction has undergone unknown changes.]

(First-tier/Golden)

Life Value: 150/150

Magic Power Value: 120/120

Level: lv.15 (First-tier)

Attributes: Strength 10, Spirit 12, Agility 25, Constitution: 15

Talents:

(Mutation) Hard Bee Sting (Green): Bee stings are no longer single-use items, but after breaking, require 5 days to fully recover.

Neurotoxin (Purple): Utilizes bee stings to inject poison, and the target's Constitution attribute is judged; if the Constitution attribute is below 15, it causes paralysis, which can stack multiple times, each stack increasing the judgement value by +2, up to a maximum of 10 stacks.

Group Consciousness (Golden): The swarm of bees possesses a group consciousness; whenever the number of the swarm reaches (10, 100, 1000...), it will unlock corresponding attribute modifiers and additional abilities, enhancing the intelligence of group consciousness, current modifier: none.

Hive Expert (Purple): Worker Bees will actively seek materials to expand and repair the Hive, slowly reducing the Hive's upgrade requirements.

Skills:

Gathering (Blue): Even after the Mutation, the craft of gathering has not been lost, and will actively gather construction materials and pollen while patrolling.

Brewing (Blue): Consuming gathered pollen can brew [Giant Honey] (First-Tier/Purple), continuing to consume pollen can further brew the even more effective [Royal Jelly] (First-Tier/Golden).

Poison Injection (Green): Performs a quick sting, injecting neurotoxin into the target, causing 20 points of physical damage that ignores defensive power.

Bee Dance (Golden): Coordinating with companions to perform a surround hunt, every participating companion will deal 20 points of physical damage that ignores defensive power to the target; when the number of companions reaches (10, 20...100), each attack will cause an additional (2, 4...20) points of physical damage.

[You have to believe me, I really am a good person!]

Upon seeing the Giant Bee's panel, Bai Yi could only say, it truly deserves to be a golden troop!

Both combat power and functionality are nearly maxed out!

It has control and damage, and it can also take care of logistics!

And what excited Bai Yi the most was not those powerful talents, but the brewed honey!

"Golden level honey, I wonder what effect it might have?

At least it can't be worse than tree fruit!"

With Lord's privileges, Bai Yi had already felt the secret connection among these five initial honeybees, but because the number was too few, the displayed level of intelligence was not even comparable to the giant banyan.

"Let's first see what the first stage of bonuses are like!"

That said, Bai Yi invested 50 units of Blood Flesh and 50 units of honey.

The panel indicated that it would take another 10 minutes to breed the next batch of bees, and during this time, Bai Yi tidied up the warehouse.

Only then did Bai Yi suddenly remember that she had completely forgotten about a small knife, which she quickly took out and handed it to the farmer's wife for temporary use as a tool.

In passing, Bai Yi also learned the blueprints for the Cat Nest, and as for the Four-legged Dragon Beast's lair blueprint, Bai Yi didn't plan to use it herself.

Bai Yi had already encountered the Four-legged Dragon Beast, and although its combat power was considerable, the only time the Beetles suffered casualties yesterday was due to being bitten to death by that Fake Dragon.

But the biggest problem was that it didn't fit with her Talents at all.

Moreover, the materials on the blueprint were completely unattainable; what in the world is Dragon Blood Grass?

So, instead of spending a fortune to buy something that seems like it's from the Magic Side and may not even be findable to make this Barracks, Bai Yi thought it better to find an opportunity to sell it.

It would be perfect to bundle it with the diluted Dragon Blood Crystal that burst out with it for a bundled sale!

Ideally, it would be traded for an insect class Barracks blueprint, so she might be able to Advance her territory before the Cycle Challenge.

The condition for Territory Upgrade is to have 5 First-tier buildings and 5 First-tier unit types, plus a personal level of 20.

Now in her territory, there are already 3 Barracks-type buildings and corresponding unit types; plus the giant banyan which can be counted as both a building and a unit, she now only needs one more building plus a unit type!

"I wonder if there will also be rewards for advancing to Second Tier territory? If there's also a soldier package...

Hehehe—"

Thinking that she might once again obtain two Golden units, Bai Yi giggled foolishly.

Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, the breeding of the Worker Bees had reached its final stage.

1!

[Your bee swarm has reached the count of (55/10), hive mind activated, bee swarm panel obtained, the swarm gains an additional 5 points in Spirit adjustment, collection speed +100%, work efficiency +100%]

[To advance to the next tier, the bee swarm count must reach (55/100), hive mind intelligence increases, an extra 50 points in Spirit adjustment gained, collection speed +100%, work efficiency +100%, and an extra skill acquired: Wing Flapping (Blue)]

"This is just the bonus for the first tier, and it's already this powerful! It's terrifying!"

From the perspective of Lord Bai Yi, it's perhaps not so intuitive on the panel.

With these additional 50 bees, the intelligence of the swarm is like that of a newborn baby growing into a three-year-old child who can understand simple words and engage in conversations!

Although still a bit slow and clumsy, at least they can now perform simple tasks for the territory!

Upon opening the bee swarm panel mentioned in the prompt, Bai Yi discovered that he could set simple commands for the swarm, assigning batches of bees to specific tasks.

Unfortunately, there are not many commands available at the moment, only free collection, patrolling, and hunting.

More complex orders would require Bai Yi to communicate with the swarm directly, and even then, they might not understand.

After some careful thought, Bai Yi decided to send 30 bees out for free collection, 20 on patrol, and the remaining 5 to stay on standby in the hive.

Having arranged the swarm's tasks, Bai Yi watched as they dispersed in all directions.

Glancing at his current Magic Power, after bartering with Jun Lin for so long, it had now fully recovered.

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Bai Yi called out one of the giant bees left behind, laid his hand on it, and activated his superpower.

[You have used Skill Gene Extraction, the current target has extractable genes including: group consciousness, neurotoxin, bee sting, Compound Eyes, Direction Perception]

"Group consciousness can actually be extracted?!"

The strongest Talent of a swarm of bees is this group consciousness, right?!

If it can be extracted and fused with other creatures, wouldn't that be the same as artificially creating golden troops!

And being insects as well, these genes would definitely be compatible with Beetles!

Without much thought, Bai Yi made a quick decision.

[You have extracted the gene entries: group consciousness, neurotoxin]

Having gained two new entries, Bai Yi suddenly became more interested.

He tried extracting genes from all creatures in his territory and the results were mostly as he suspected.

The compatibility of group consciousness with plants was decent, but attempting to modify the Mutated banyan in his territory would still require a full 300 Magic Power Value.

When trying to apply it to the peasants or himself, it shockingly required a whopping 5000 Magic Power Value to succeed, which made Bai Yi gasp.

However, the neurotoxin was somewhat surprising; it could be fused with the Endless Rice for just 200 Magic Power Value.

But what would be the use after the fusion?

Directly poison someone to death after just one bite?

It seems that's not entirely out of the question?

Apart from rice, the giant banyan and other Mutated banyan trees also have a high compatibility, but at least for now, Bai Yi had no such intention.

The best option at the moment was still to build up the combat power of the Beetles, but since the Beetles had gone out to clear the surroundings, they had to wait for their return to proceed.

Having arranged all the work in the territory, and with it still being early, other powerful Lords were out hunting monsters, so it's best to wait and auction the blueprints during the midday rest period. Bai Yi then headed straight for the farmland again.

A few peasants had already prepared the rice she needed, and Bai Yi repeated his earlier process, ripening another batch of rice, extending the peasants' work for a while longer.

After being busy for a while, it was nearing noon, and more Lords began to talk in the channel.

Killing Giant Bee (Part Two): According to research, these Giant Bees are suspected to have awakened their hive consciousness. Tests show that when the hive is attacked, even if the Giant Bees are trapped in a sealed area, they will synchronously enter a frenzy, actively attack any living being that approaches and attempt to return to the Hive.
