Chapter 32: Some Things Become Loved When You Get Used to Them
Boom! Boom!
Who is this, making such noise so early in the morning? Can’t people sleep?
Good morning! It’s another day full of hope.
It would be even better if I could wake up to the rising sun, sit up from my soft bed, and stretch happily.
Well, to wake up to the rising sun, I need to deal with those goblins upstairs.
A soft bed… that’s somewhat challenging.
I might need to go to a human town to buy a bed. Well, I really don’t know where to find humans.
Finally, to stretch my body… I first need to become human.
I had actually contemplated this for quite some time.
If I want to become human, I can only approach it in two ways. One method is to level up, and perhaps after advancing, there might be a chance to transform into a human. The other approach is to seek external assistance.
As for what kind of help… maybe a magic pill that can turn me into a human? Well, I’m not entirely certain. I can only take it one step at a time.
I don’t want to dwell on these unrealistic thoughts so early in the morning.
Speaking of which, I saw something strange last night… I somewhat regret looking; I shouldn’t have, because there are some things I still can’t get out of my mind…
It feels slightly nauseating…
By the way, I went to sleep quite early last night. How are the Military Ants developing?
Lin Yu finally stopped daydreaming and got up to inspect the Military Ants.
So impressive!!
There are twenty enormous, gleaming black ants. Their shells are shiny black, and they appear much more robust than ordinary weak ants. What stands out most is their pair of massive jaws, which look sharp and incredibly powerful.
Each ant is approximately three times the size of a weak ant, and even compared to the previous Granville Wolf, they are not significantly smaller.
The leader, a C Qualification Military Ant, is even larger than the other Military Ants. Lin Yu believes she is approximately the same size as those Granville Wolves.
She examined their attribute panels.
——

So powerful!
Although I feel somewhat sympathetic to the Weak Ants, these Military Ants are substantially stronger, right?
This is a true Level 1 with no rank; their Health Value is 40 points! Even when I was just born, I only had 10 points for Health Value!
Strength 1, Intelligence 1, and Physical Resistance Ability also at 1 point—these are surprising, but what’s even more remarkable is… they have skills at Level 1!
It’s a very ordinary “Bite” skill, but this skill is far from weak; when used, it can increase the original biting power by approximately three times!
Apart from the Health Value being slightly lower, the strength of these Military Ants is almost equivalent to those two Class D Weak Ants.
It always feels incredibly dependable.
By the way, what about that C Qualification Military Ant?
Just as I was contemplating identifying the other one, the C Qualification Military Ant suddenly approached, catching Lin Yu by surprise.
Wow, wait, don’t come over yet!
At that moment, she was no longer the size of a small puppy, but three times Lin Yu’s size.
The C Qualification Military Ant halted as Lin Yu spoke, yet still appeared somewhat puzzled, tilting its head.
Lin Yu first reviewed her Attribute Panel.
Besides the Health Value being 55 points, the other attributes remained identical to the other D Qualification Military Ants.
Then, after composing herself, she attempted to extend her front legs.
The Military Ant seemed to comprehend Lin Yu’s intention and lowered its head.
Touch…
It was so tiny just yesterday.
It truly makes one marvel at how quickly children grow in an instant.
…
With the current strength of these 20 Military Ants, they still cannot defeat the Big Goblin, so Lin Yu instructed them to continue consuming bear meat to level up.
The ant nest, already crowded, became even more cramped due to these 20 Military Ants.
Through information from the Weak Ants, Lin Yu learned that the goblin group remained in the cave and had not ventured out, with the Big Goblin resuming its stick-based assault on the ant nest entrance.
In truth, its actions were not entirely futile. Had the Worker Ant not reinforced the entrance beforehand, the tunnel might have already been crushed by this Big Goblin.
Currently, the ant nest entrance has been fortified, and the internal space has become increasingly congested.
Therefore, continuing to expand the ant nest’s size is necessary.
Regarding nest construction, let’s focus on several key areas next.
First is the food storage room. One room has already been established, and although it’s nearly full, it remains sufficient for now.
Next is the trash storage room for leftover bones and fur from meat consumption. These items might prove useful later, so maintaining them in a separate space is optimal.
There’s also the room for ant colony movement, as they cannot remain compressed together like this.
And finally, the most crucial area.
My own room!
I want a personal bedroom! And to accomplish that, I need adequate space!
Hey, wait a moment, doesn’t this mean… a Delivery Room?
Ah! Absolutely not! Who would label a girl’s bedroom a Delivery Room! That’s absurd!
…
After a night of rest, the Worker Ants’ secreted mucus had restored its adhesive properties.
They commenced digging under Lin Yu’s guidance, this time focusing on a single tunnel while temporarily abandoning the previous three.
As the Worker Ants worked, the other ants busily consumed food.
The C Qualification Military Ant demonstrates self-awareness, but its behavior and cognitive processes remain nearly identical to those of ordinary animals.
Lin Yu found interacting with her unengaging after a while.
So she dispatched the C Qualification Military Ant and instructed her to eat separately.
So monotonous…
Let’s continue with the current approach.
Although the ant nest space is limited, performing this task one or two more times remains possible.
After all, the Magic Value is already full, and not utilizing it would be wasteful.
I-I absolutely do not enjoy that sensation!
Having my stomach entirely full only creates discomfort, not at all… well, actually… if it occurs frequently, it can be somewhat pleasant.
Wait, pleasant in what sense?
It’s challenging to articulate, perhaps when my stomach feels completely satiated, and… when the hunger dissipates after using my skills?
…
So I laid eggs two more times.
The result of these two egg-laying events was 30 Weak Ant Eggs, 20 Worker Ant Eggs, and 10 Military Ant Eggs.
The hunger induced by egg-laying prompted me to consume substantial amounts of raw meat again.
However, as I continued leveling up, the Experience Value gained from bear meat became increasingly limited.
Wolf meat was not even considered.
The reason extends beyond mere taste preferences.
Lin Yu discovered that those Granville Wolves likely had lower life levels, resulting in their meat providing less Experience Value compared to bear meat.
After some time.
The Worker Ant had excavated a lengthy tunnel, and the newly born unqualified Worker Ants and Weak Ants had elevated their levels to LV.5 (MAX) through meat consumption.
The Military Ants also increased their levels by eating meat.
Soon, we will be capable of confronting those shameless green-skinned brutes!
Observing the Military Ants’ significant Attribute Point gains, Lin Yu felt supremely confident.
