Chapter 50

[The Spider]

"I choose exploration!"

Zhu Ge chose an option that seemed good.

In terms of production, the legacy left by the previous rat queen is quite enormous.

Countless worker rats scurried and crawled through the tunnels, carrying out productive labor and searching for abundant food and water.

Therefore, there is no shortage of producers.

There is no shortage of fighters at present. The Rat Queen can only be determined through duels, and there has been no danger from the outside world after several simulations.

Therefore, the Explorer is currently the best choice.

[Your first offspring are born: eighty-six worker rat explorers, all heading to the borders of your underground kingdom to explore new worlds and spread your pheromones throughout the entire underground realm.]

You've discovered the rat kingdom!

You've discovered the Redwood Forest Swamp!

You've discovered the empire of the gluttonous red imported fire ants!

You've discovered a tribe of wild boars!

You've discovered a tribe of Angora rabbits!

……

A series of notification boxes flashed by, indicating that your explorer mice had discovered a new world for you.

"The original underground kingdom was too small..."

Zhu Ge had a sudden realization.

It's similar to the human world.

Before discovering other groups, many groups tend to fight amongst themselves.

But what happens when external influencing factors appear?

Faced with these diverse groups of organisms, what would you choose?

[I. Conducting contact with and understanding pheromones]

II. Indiscriminate attack on all creatures

3. Ignore them and avoid all tunnels.

There is no doubt that we should get in touch with them and learn more.

If you attack all creatures indiscriminately, you will most likely be attacked indiscriminately by all creatures in return.

It's impossible to ignore them; if we don't actively try to understand them, we can only be passively understood by them.

Choose option one: Take the initiative to learn more!

You discovered the friendliness of some creatures, the aggression of others, and ultimately coexisted peacefully with some while waging war against others.

You have given rise to a large number of fighters and producers; the entire underworld is filled with opposition, alliances, conflicts, slaughter, and harmony.

[Therefore, you have made a unique choice for this theme. Please decide carefully, as an incorrect choice will prevent you from acquiring the unique trait.]

[1. Adapt to changing circumstances and strive to maximize the immediate interests of the Mole Kingdom in all actions.]

II. Laying out a plan for generations to come: making long-term plans for the century-long development of the Mole Kingdom.

[Part Three: With all our might, we will wipe out all hostile creatures from the underworld; wherever our pheromones reach, the world becomes a mole kingdom.]

Appeared!

Zhu Ge was startled.

The only option has appeared again!

He has already used six out of ten simulations so far, this is the seventh, and there are three more to go.

But he knew that replicating such a choice would be extremely difficult.

This success was not due to his brilliant analysis, but rather to luck.

Thanks to the old age and leniency of the previous Queen Mouse, as well as a little bit of his experience from previous simulations.

The next three opportunities are unlikely to reach the same level as this one.

For example, if a mole doesn't acquire a unique trait this time, the next simulated mole will most likely be a descendant of this queen.

This new rat queen is young and powerful, making it difficult for him to overthrow her.

With that in mind, Zhu Ge carefully examined the three options again and picked out a few keywords.

First, adaptability and maximizing benefits.

Second, we need to lay out plans for generations to come and make long-term strategic plans.

Third, it involves militarism and short-sighted exploitation.

After careful consideration, Zhu Ge thought of her past life and then of this life.

Even a powerful being like the Second Realm Bacteria God cannot act arbitrarily if it wants to swallow a village; it can only proceed slowly and deliberately.

The mole wasn't the strongest creature in the underground world to begin with, so the choice was pretty obvious.

"I choose option two, let's make our move!"

Zhu Ge nervously chose the path she had in mind.

[You calmed the restlessness of the entire mole kingdom, gave birth to fifty-five princess moles to assist you, and planned the strategy for the next nine hundred and twenty-eight generations of moles, totaling one hundred years.]

[Thirty-eight years after your death, the system of the First Rat Queen and the Fifty-Five Princess Moles was passed down. The fifty-six species of moles were united like pomegranate seeds, and they swept away the entire underground world.]

Your vision and long-term plan inspired and guided all the moles. Any creature that was once stronger than you was defeated by your schemes. In the end, the entire underground world still thrived, but only you remained in charge, acquiring the unique trait: spider.

[This simulation of strengths and weaknesses has ended.]

ended?

Zhu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Great, it worked!

You have acquired the unique trait "Spider"!

[The traits acquired in this superiority/inferiority simulation are: Survival of the Fittest, Learning, Pheromones, New Queen, and Spider.]

[If the simulation continues, this trait will be retained for the next simulation.]

Without a doubt, he will definitely move on to the next round. He still has three chances, so he might as well use them.

However, when he saw the effect of the spider trait, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Spider: Sparrows blot out the sun, dragons and pythons lock up the great river. The sun is my urn, the river my bait. Once you step into my web, who can escape?

How domineering!

Sparrows that can blot out the sun, dragons and pythons that can lock up rivers—how powerful are they?

The sun and the great river that lure these beings are merely bait.

The bait is a "spider"!

The "spider" weaves a net that can hunt down even the smallest swallows that blot out the sun and the largest dragons and pythons that lock up the great river!

"Wow, that's really strong..."

Zhu Ge opened her eyes, got up, and looked at the moonlight outside the window, full of anticipation.

He was looking forward to seeing how this trait would be used.

However, he doesn't dare to use it yet.

After all, he only has fourteen years of lifespan left. If he uses it recklessly, he might have his lifespan completely drained.

"only……"

"Does this description mean that possessing this trait allows one to hunt down enemies many times stronger than oneself...?"

Zhu Ge thought of the fisherman in the straw raincoat.

The fisherman in the straw raincoat was far superior to him.

Moreover, he doesn't want to go with the fisherman in the straw raincoat now. Who knows what kind of cannon fodder or experimental subject the fisherman in the straw raincoat will treat him as?

Therefore, if the "Spider" can give him the strength to kill enemies of a higher level, then he really should wear it and give it a try.

"Be patient for now, don't do anything rash."

Zhu Ge took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and then prepared to lie down and fall asleep.

He had exhausted himself in the past few days, so he has been sleeping for long periods of time each day to recover from the previous depletion.

However, just as his head touched the pillow, a scream came from not far away, but the sound subsided in an instant.

Zhu Ge's eyes suddenly opened.

"Sui Niang?!"

He immediately got up and went outside, where he saw Yu Xiucai also leaving.

Duan Lei and Ji Fuhui were already asleep at this time, so only a cultivator like Yu Xiucai could be alerted by that scream.

Yu Xiucai and Zhu Ge exchanged a glance, and then the two of them ran together toward the house where Sui Niang and Xian Xian lived.

This fisherman in a straw raincoat... A flicker of anger rose in Zhu Ge's eyes.
