Chapter 51: Such Terrifying Talent; This Egg Cannot Be an Ordinary One!
Hmm…
I feel so uncomfortable… my stomach…
That’s right, I did that thing again because I can’t waste Magic Value.
But this time was slightly different.
At first, it went smoothly – my abdomen gradually expanded like during previous occasions. But after reaching a certain size, the growth suddenly slowed.
At that moment, I thought I might be getting an exceptional offspring, which made me quite excited.
After all, my first post-evolution births always yielded good results. This should be no exception, right?
But…
Why is this taking so long?!
It’s been nearly an hour!!
My belly feels painfully distended now. I apologize – I underestimated the hardships of pregnancy.
Though the pain isn’t overwhelming, this persistent discomfort is truly unbearable.
Good or bad offspring doesn’t matter anymore. Please just come out already! Mommy’s getting exhausted~
Ah…
Something’s happening…
My abdomen is swelling again.
Is it time?
Inhale… exhale…
Moments later, the white ant’s abdomen appeared to reach maximum expansion.
At the peak of distension, a blinding golden light suddenly erupted, nearly dazzling Lin Yu’s eyes.
Neither blue nor white – this was
A golden magic circle!
Mmmph! That hour of suffering wasn’t wasted after all.
Lin Yu extended a white forelimb to wipe nonexistent tears from her face.
She gazed expectantly at her birthing results.
Numerous eggs of varying sizes lay beneath and around her abdomen.
A careful count revealed exactly 100 eggs, including three familiar types:
30 Weak Ant Eggs, 30 Worker Ant Eggs, and 25 Military Ant Eggs.
Among the remaining 15 eggs, 10 bore black-green patterned surfaces – slightly smaller than Military Ant Eggs.
The other 5 were obsidian-smooth and enormous! Each dwarfed the Military Ant Eggs by multiple times!
Even Lin Yu froze momentarily when seeing these five eggs – their sizes vastly exceeded her own body dimensions. One colossal specimen particularly stood out, surpassing its four counterparts significantly.
So huge…
I adore them!!
Could I really have produced such massive eggs?
They radiate such comforting solidity.
Pat-pat…
So smooth to touch~ Ahhh~ Wonderful~
Snuggle…
The white ant pressed her entire body against the largest egg, gently rubbing her head against its surface until her facial features softened into pure bliss.
After sufficient snuggling, Lin Yu began appraising the two new egg varieties.
First, the black-green patterned ant eggs:
——
Name: None
Race: Acid Ant (Egg)
Qualification: C
(Content omitted)
——
/Acid Ant: An ant species capable of secreting and spraying highly corrosive acid through mandibles. Typically solitary monsters rather than colony-dwellers. Large-scale proliferation could pose unpredictable continental threats. Note: Low-qualification Acid Ants generally lack independent intelligence, retaining only basic self-awareness.
Solitary ants?
But since they are my children, they’re now communal monsters!
Running away from home? Mom won’t allow it!
They can secrete and spray acid! Now the ant colony finally has ranged attack capabilities.
If they’d fought against the Goblin Wizard and Goblin King instead, the battle wouldn’t have been so difficult.
They could simply spray acid from afar—even hide in caves to avoid the Goblin Wizard’s fireballs. Hmm, almost like trench warfare!
The acid might even corrode that Goblin King’s armor and break through his defenses.
They’ll definitely prove invaluable in future battles.
Now, the most anticipated big egg!
Activate 「Identification」.
——
Name: None
Race: Iron Armored Ant (Egg)
Qualification: C
(Text omitted)
——
/Iron Armored Ant: A large ant species with exceptional defense and formidable attack power. Typically solitary and rare. Due to their size, they’re often detected and killed by stronger monsters before maturing. Lower Qualification Iron Armored Ants generally lack independent intelligence, retaining only basic self-awareness./
Whoa!!
Enormous size! Exceptional defense and formidable attack power!
I’d been complaining about the lack of standout fighters in the colony. If this description holds true, unlike the Acid Ants’ ranged attacks, these Iron Armored Ants might actually defeat the Goblin King and Goblin Wizard head-on!
The ant colony finally gains real combat strength—how wonderful!
This is the smallest of five Iron Armored Ant eggs, with C Qualification. As for the others…
Lin Yu proceeded to identify the remaining four massive eggs.
Two had C Qualification, one had B Qualification, and one had A Qualification!
The B Qualification egg was slightly larger than the C ones, but the A Qualification egg stood out dramatically in size—it was the colossal one.
Lin Yu caressed the A Qualification egg adoringly.
Such an extraordinary Qualification! This girl is destined for greatness!
"Hurry and hatch, grow strong quickly—let Mommy witness your power~"
…
The white ants laid eggs in the deeper sections of the goblin cave. With Military Ants guarding the perimeter, safety wasn’t a concern.
Newly laid eggs required time to hatch, and these new ant types would likely take longer than the Military Ants.
Lin Yu gnawed on raw boar meat delivered by Military Ants, alleviating post-laying hunger while staring at her eggs.
Nothing else to do now.
Might as well continue!
Breeding machine? Hah! So what if I am? Maybe I’ll produce another A Qualification egg!
After eating her fill, she activated 「Lay Eggs」 again.
Her abdomen swelled once more…
……
Each use of 「Lay Eggs」 consumed one-third of her Magic Value, allowing two more activations.
The second and third "pregnancies" still took considerable time—about half an hour each—compared to the initial hour-long process.
Unfortunately, blue magic circles appeared both times, yielding only C Qualification or lower eggs.
First batch: 80 eggs—70 Weak Ants, Worker Ants, and Military Ants; 3 Iron Armored Ants and 7 Acid Ants among the rest.
Second batch: 70 eggs—65 basic ants; 2 Iron Armored Ants and 3 Acid Ants remaining.
