Chapter 10: But wild monsters are more cost-effective

You have extracted the gene entry: Infinite Proliferation

Infinite Proliferation: Allows organisms to rapidly proliferate and grow by consuming a certain amount of energy.

Although the first two genes were also good, this ability could not only be extracted once; as long as she was given time to recover her magic power, she could always extract all of them.

Anyway, this thing couldn't run away while stuck in the panel.

Bai Yi chose to extract this gene first because she saw its potential.

If it could be bestowed upon crops, wouldn't that be equivalent to a super food output!

Especially since she already had rice seeds in her hand.

Just thinking about it made her excited!

But Bai Yi still cautiously decided to try it out first.

She casually tapped a weed on the ground and tried to use the gene fusion skill on it, and a prompt immediately popped up on the panel.

Current gene matches the target well. Fusing the gene requires 200 magic points. Current magic is insufficient.

Since the Bug Nest's reproduction would take some time, Bai Yi took the opportunity to try out all the creatures in her territory.

Among them, the Bloodthirsty Beetle, which Bai Yi valued most, did not have as high a compatibility as Bai Yi had imagined, requiring a full 290 magic points to fuse.

On the other hand, the Giant Banyan and the surrounding Mutated Banyan Trees that had been incorporated into the territory surprised Bai Yi; their compatibility was very good, and they only needed 200 magic points to fuse.

It was just that because the Giant Banyan was a Tier 2, Bai Yi couldn't use it on it for now, but ordinary Mutated Banyan Trees didn't have this restriction.

Bai Yi even tried it on the two Farmers, and finally concluded that this gene was almost always a good match for plants, but it was only average for animals and Beetles.

Especially when applied to humans, the magic consumption directly shot up to 1000.

However, what surprised Bai Yi the most was the rice.

They could indeed be identified as plant seeds by the ability and could also undergo gene fusion!

And they had a high compatibility with the Infinite Proliferation entry!

But Bai Yi was not in a hurry to start farming so quickly; even the weeds in the base hadn't been completely pulled yet, so there was no rush.

So Bai Yi decided to temporarily accumulate some magic points first, extract all the genes of the Infinite Moss, and then try gene fusion at night.

Once the rice was fused, she could officially start farming tomorrow!

After all this fuss, the Beetles in the Bug Nest had all finished reproducing and crawled out of the Bug Nest, and two sturdy Farmers holding stone hoes also walked out of the slanted-roof matchbox.

Looking at the 20 dark Beetles lying on the ground in front of her, and the two Farmers beside her, like two door gods, Bai Yi felt full of confidence.

Even if she encountered today's crocodile and Great Cat, Bai Yi was confident of victory!

“Depart!”

………………

“Ah, this… is this what they call wild monsters?”

Bai Yi, full of vigor, led her two bodyguards and 20 Beetles, grandly (as she perceived it) intending to take down the first wild monster of her lord's career and take the first step towards her development and strength!

Then she encountered this thing in front of her—

A wild wolf, almost the same size as one Bai Yi had seen in a zoo before.

As if afraid others wouldn't know, a name “Wild Wolf Lv. 5” floated above its head, and there was a delicate small wooden treasure chest under the tree behind it.

From every angle, this was a very ordinary wild monster...

That's a lie!

This isn't a real game!

How could such a thing exist!

Is it really a wild wolf guarding a treasure chest!

Wild Wolf

HP: 200/200

Talent: None

Skills:

Bite: Bites the target fiercely, dealing 20 damage to the target.

This is a wild monster, no doubt. Brave one, go quickly and defeat it to get the treasure chest it guards!

Bai Yi was amazed at this thing for a moment.

But she still had to fight.

Bai Yi frowned, hiding behind her two bodyguards, and the Beetles beside her received Bai Yi's command, flying into the air and shooting out like cannonballs.

Skill – Charge!

As soon as the Beetle entered the wild wolf's territory, it seemed to break free from its AI; its eyes suddenly became agile, and even when facing 20 Beetles charging at it, it showed no fear.

Unfortunately, this did not allow it to escape its fate.

Turning its body, the wild wolf swatted a Beetle cannonball aside with a paw, but the next Beetle had already arrived, crashing into the wild wolf's head.

-30

A huge red number floated from the wild wolf's head, and Bai Yi felt like she could hear the dull thud of carapace colliding with skull.

Under the continuous impact of one Beetle after another, the wild wolf's mere 200 HP instantly evaporated.

A perfect victory! You gained 10 experience points. You obtained Wooden Treasure Chest * 1.

“These wild monsters are too simple. Is this what they mean by random wild monsters and resources…”

Although she grumbled, Bai Yi knew that if she had come out alone, it would have been good enough to escape from the wild wolf's mouth.

This was all thanks to her lovely Bloodthirsty Beetles!

The wild wolf did not leave Bai Yi any resources; after dying, it dissipated into light particles on the spot.

But no matter what, this was her first proper hunt. Bai Yi still walked over and opened the treasure chest she had obtained with anticipation.

But Bai Yi never expected that not only the wild wolf, but even this treasure chest was just for show.

Bai Yi picked up the treasure chest, which was about the size of a Beetle. As soon as her hand touched it and she had the thought of opening it, the lid of the treasure chest lifted on its own.

After a dazzling white light, by the time Bai Yi reacted, the treasure chest had disappeared, leaving only the panel's prompt.

You opened the Wooden Treasure Chest. You obtained White Bread * 5, Drinking Water * 5.

“?”

Goodness, it was just a special effect?

The supplies from the treasure chest were user-friendly, directly stored in the panel's warehouse, but the quantity was truly a bit touching.

However, Bai Yi then thought that this was just a low-level wild monster, so it was reasonable that the rewards weren't much.

“So, these game-generated wild monsters cannot provide corpses, but they are also significantly weaker than the general native mutated creatures of this world, and their rewards are average, but they are basic supplies like food and water.

Heh, those who are begging for water and food probably haven't even left their territories.”

Bai Yi extracted one unit of water from the panel; it was like a mineral water bottle she usually got, a plastic bottle, but without a label, about half a liter in volume.

Since she woke up in this world, she hadn't had a drop of water, and she had done a lot of exercise; at this moment, her mouth was dry.

Bai Yi twisted open the cap, and half a bottle of water went down with gulps, quenching her thirst. Bai Yi felt reborn!

If these respawning wild monsters were all this simple, then this so-called adaptation period wouldn't just be a pure reward period!

Even Bai Yi, who was determined to stay at home, felt a surge of excitement.

It's not that she didn't dare to fight mutated creatures, but that wild monsters were more cost-effective!

“It's decided, today I'm going to pick a fight with wild monsters!”

Zerg Creep: The seemingly most inconspicuous creep in the Zerg disaster is actually the Zerg's most powerful weapon. Wherever it passes, not a blade of grass grows, turning everything into a green ocean, but the land reclaimed from the creep always becomes incredibly fertile…
