Huh? What??
Let me take a look… All their levels have increased to Level 2. Regardless of whether they are among the twenty-eight without qualifications or the two with D-level qualifications, their Health Value has increased by 10 points. However, other attributes, including their size, remain unchanged.
But…
Why?
Eating Mom’s body can make me stronger.
By the way, does leveling up really give so much? 18 points of Health Value, wow! That’s even higher than mine!
Boo hoo, I can’t even beat my own child now.
Boo hoo hoo… Hehe!! I’m not sad at all, in fact, I’m quite happy!
But since eating Mom can make me stronger, I am starting to feel a bit hungry. Should I try it?
She glanced at Mom’s body, which was oozing foul-smelling pus.
So, she quietly looked away again.
Who would want to eat something like this? This isn’t some wilderness survival!
Huh? Wait, this situation could also be called surviving in the wilderness…
Plus, if I could level up, my survival skills would improve… Right, I have an S+ talent! If I level up, my abilities should increase more than theirs, right?
Given the current situation, that lazy bear won’t be going out for a while, so I will have to…
But, do I really have to eat?
I don’t want to eat… I really don’t want to eat…
It’s not being picky, really! Being picky is when the adults at home cook a dish with celery, and you don’t like celery so you won’t take it, but you can still eat it if you try!
The body of the ant’s mother… this is really beyond being picky!
Um… could you please stop Mom for a bit?
Lin Yu blinked her red eyes and looked hopefully at the 30 Weak Ants.
Maybe they took her words as commands, and they hurriedly surrounded Lin Yu.
Nevertheless, due to the “Unique Skill – Queen Ant,” which embodies “unwavering loyalty to the skill holder,” Lin Yu’s surroundings appeared relaxed and somewhat indifferent.
Alright, alright, move aside.
Lin Yu knew that the Weak Ants would only follow her orders, but after this little play, she felt much better.
She took a deep breath and stood in front of her mother’s body.
Well, the abdomen and chest were already covered in bite marks from the children; the smell is overwhelming… let’s set this aside for now…
The head? It looks like it would be very unappetizing, and the brain is even harder to accept, so I’ll skip that…
All that’s left are six legs and a pair of antennae; these seem a bit easier to accept than the body parts…
Hmm, let’s start with the antennae; they look softer.
She climbed up onto her mother’s body.
Although she tried very hard to avoid it, her six pairs of legs inevitably touched the thick green fluid on her body.
The sticky feeling on her feet gave her a slight shiver.
After finally standing on her mother’s head, she opened her mouth and bit through the two antennae.
With a “snap,” the antennae fell to the ground.
Hmm, the taste of the bitten antennae wasn’t too bad, and no strange fluids splattered out, but… why did I even climb up here to do this?
Wow!!
I was foolish!!
I should have let the kids help, ugh, my feet are covered in gross slime…
I’m so mad!
You, you, and all of you, come here!
Yes, that’s right, one climbs on top of another.
So Lin Yu stepped down on the “ladder” made by the Weak Ants and landed on the ground.
She left behind some green liquid on their backs as she walked.
She took a quick look at the thoughts of the Weak Ants used as a ladder, and they were still blank.
At least complain a little! A bunch of fools…
Lin Yu wiped the slime off her six legs on the ground before she walked over to those two antennae.
With a hesitant look on her face, she finally moved.
Splash, splash…
Ugh… yuck!
It tastes horrible! Even though it’s crunchy, the smell is unbearable—awful and fishy! It’s like chewing on a stinky old sock that’s been soaked in a filthy ditch. The foul odor and strange fishiness spread through my mouth…
My whole head feels a little dizzy from the smell.
However, now that I’ve begun eating, I can’t stop; if I do, I might not find the will to continue.
So, don’t stop!
Splash, splash…
Yuck!!
/Experience points gained level up.
Level LV.1 increased to LV.2, and all values were restored.
Choose one of three gifts: ① Health Value Limit +10 ② Magic Value Limit +5 ③ Learn the skill Identification.
Without warning, a mechanical voice echoed from above, its gender indeterminate, causing Lin Yu to stop eating in surprise.
Then she saw her Status Panel open automatically, appearing in front of her.
The level section indeed changed to LV.2.
In front of the Status Panel, there was a window displaying the three options mentioned by the voice.
As for the voice, it came from above; who was it?
Although she wanted to ask, being in her ant form, she could only make a “chirp chirp chirp” sound.
Shouting in her mind, it seemed the other party did not respond.
Giving up on the conversation, she had to shift her attention back to the two windows in front of her.
First, her level increased to LV.2, but all her stats remained the same.
She only ate one-third of her mom’s antennae and leveled up.
However, since there was no prompt showing the Experience Value gained, she had no idea what the Experience Value distribution of her mom’s body was.
Maybe eating the antenna gives more Experience Value? Or maybe less?
It’s unclear.
Also, how did she get full from such a small amount of food?
She was really hungry before eating the antenna, though! By the way, there was also a strong sense of hunger before the level-up prompt, which means…
Did the various stat recoveries mentioned by that voice include Hunger Degree too?
How troublesome! Since it comes from the top of my head, let’s call it the Voice of Heaven.
The Voice of Heaven likely has something to do with the gods, right?
I keep feeling like I’m being watched, and it’s really unpleasant.
But if I keep worrying about this, I would just be making myself upset; after all, I’m just a little ant.
Now, we come to the part that matters the most!
A gift of choosing one out of three!
The term “gift”… never mind, let’s not think about that for now.
Anyway, if we take it literally, it means I have to choose one option as a reward for leveling up, right?
The first option is to increase the Health Value Limit by 10. That’s what the children level up with, but maybe they don’t have the right to choose.
Feeling is a very common choice, I definitely can’t choose this one!
Next is the second one, Magic Value Limit +5.
To be honest, it’s kind of heartwarming. If I had more Magic Value, I could create more… cough, no, a girl shouldn’t say such misleading things!
Huh? Huh!!!
Wait a minute!!
I did something silly again!!
Since leveling up can restore hunger, I should use up my Magic Value before eating the tentacles!
No, no! If I do that again, there might not be enough food left.
Yes, that’s right, I don’t feel sorry at all!
In short, let’s look at the third option.
The third one is the skill of Identification.
Here comes the most important thing!
It’s Identification! They say it’s a must-have cheating skill for reincarnators!
Also, there’s a little note under the skill description, which is really thoughtful this time.
/Identification: You can check the target’s status information. The skill has two effects:
First, when used on an item up close, you can see the item’s basic information.
Secondly, when used on a visible target within your line of sight, it allows you to view the target’s basic Status Panel and related information. The success rate depends on various factors.
