Laws of the Insect Hive

Confused, System had forgotten how many times he fell asleep and woke up.

As the pupation progressed, System could feel that the liquid inside the pupa became more and more viscous, and it seemed to have a tendency to turn into solid, and as his body became viscous, System also felt I became more and more confused.

I was dizzy when I fell asleep, and I was also dizzy when I woke up. It seemed that there was no obvious difference between falling asleep and waking up.

He was like Alzheimer's in his previous life. The first two years of pupation were fine, but then his brain felt like mush.

Sometimes math problems like 11 times 12 can't be calculated by mouth, and you have to use the [Tools menu] calculator.

System felt that if he continued like this, he might become a fool like Shava, who would have to use a calculator for addition and subtraction of more than 100 digits.

Not only is his brain confused, but his memory is also as poor as an Alzheimer's patient.

It's probably like holding the key in your hand, and then looking for the key in a hurry, unable to open the door of your own house.

Although he has the [tool menu] to record his memories in the form of images, it is obviously not very realistic to expect an Alzheimer's patient to watch videos to find memories.

System always forgot the content of the previous film after watching a memory film for a while.

After that, System would even forget why he watched the film.

But it was very strange, in this dazed process, System would always recall a lot of things inexplicably, including the memory of raising bugs in his previous life, and some experiences when he was a little grasshopper.

System remembered the third pupation before, as if his memory was a little worse in the last days of his third pupation.

But it seemed less obvious then than it is now.

It may be related to his transformation into a higher-level extraordinary creature, so his response to pupation is greater.

...

Then, just when System was thinking about how long this dazed state would last, a sudden humming sound appeared again, and the voice transformed by the will of the world finally appeared.

The appearance of the voice of the world also indicated that System’s chrysalis had almost reached its final juncture.

And System's dazed mental state also became sober at the moment the world's voice appeared.

System found that he had come to that very familiar white space once again...

Floating and wandering in the white space for a while, System quickly received the message from the voice of the world—what the extraordinary creatures are.

In fact, the little butterfly Ola had already told him what an extraordinary creature was more than three years ago.

Interpreting the voice of the world this time is only equivalent to confirming what Ola once told him.

In addition to being more powerful, the so-called extraordinary beings have been upgraded again, and they can absorb all kinds of energies, and then these energies are transformed.

However, most extraordinary creatures can only convert the energy absorbed from the outside world into their own source energy, unless they use special means like Aura.

System's original ability this time still hasn't changed much, it's still the two auxiliary abilities of [Perception] and [Teleportation].

And System knew that his [perception] ability would be improved again after pupation, and it would be promoted to extraordinary ability.

...

The sound of the world ended quickly, and System’s consciousness returned to reality from that boundless white space.

This time the passage of time in the white space is in exactly the same proportion as the real time, and it also took three hours.

System could feel that the mucus inside his pupa began to vibrate and wriggle non-stop, and a part of the mucus had begun to transform into solid.

It didn't take long for System to feel his slightly trembling body, his heart seemed to have congealed successfully and began to beat.

It seems that his body is extremely close to the time when he emerges from the chrysalis.

"I don't know if I can grow fingers this time."

Perhaps because of some obsession, in the process of the body gradually forming solid from mucus, System once again thought of Black's palm and those flexible fingers.

To say that he is not envious would be self-deception. Although tentacles were very convenient, System actually wanted a human-like palm.

This idea came before he pupated for the third time, but after the third pupation, System did not have a palm.

System knew that it was because compared to the so-called envy, there was also the obsession with the palm, and there was another thing that made System even more afraid.

System was terrified that the palm he generated would appear where it shouldn't, such as on his tentacles.

Originally, the tentacles on his body were already strange enough. If each tentacle had a palm growing at the end, System would feel his scalp tingling as long as he imagined the picture of a thousand-handed grasshopper.

"It's better not to grow palms."

System said to himself, but soon System didn’t have the heart to think about it, because the squirming speed of the mucus inside his pupa accelerated again.

System could feel the muscles and blood vessels of his body begin to form rapidly, and his flesh and blood were rapidly forming.

This change brought a strong sense of excitement to System.

On the one hand, System felt that his body became very itchy, but on the other hand, it seemed that something was scratching at these itchy places, which relieved the itch, which was very refreshing.

Just in the overshoot of this feeling, System received a series of beeps from the [Tools Menu].

Ding! Your [Perception] talent cap has been increased.

Ding! Your [Insect Resilience] talent cap has been increased.

Ding! Your [Body Shape] talent cap has been increased.

Ding! Your [Super Speed ​​Regeneration] talent cap has been increased.

Ding! you……

...

The continuous prompting sounds continued, and most of the boosting sounds were the breakthrough of System’s original ability level upper limit, but some new derivative abilities also appeared.

For example, the palms and fingers that System had been dreaming of, he seemed to finally be able to obtain.

Perhaps because of his obsession, or because of other reasons, after this pupation, System's [Body Transformation] unexpectedly was upgraded to an extraordinary ability reaching level 21, and he also obtained a derivative ability because of this [ Mimic Deformation] (24/24).

His derived abilities [Dragon Scale Spikes], [Dragon Armor Armor], [Body-Gel Transformation], and [Tentacles-Foot and Limb Transformation] have also been integrated into [Mimic Deformation], which should be similar to a meat ball. The ability to transform.

System did not feel the newly acquired ability, because as the flesh and blood of his body condensed, System felt that the space inside the chrysalis became extremely narrow and extremely stuffy.

It's time to emerge from the chrysalis.

As if stretching, System's one hundred and twenty-eight tentacles swayed randomly, and sharp spikes appeared at the end of each tentacle.

The next moment, the seemingly solid chrysalis was easily torn apart by System, and he also successfully broke the chrysalis...
