super predator system

Chapter 543 Warts

"Embed the itinerant sea worm into the genetic code of the queen, are you sure?"

The system asked.

"I can't think of a better structure for the time being, and the original setting of this thing is not purely for pure killing and fighting under the sea, so there should be no problem."

Ye Ren pondered for a moment, then nodded: "That's it."

"Embedded successfully."

After getting Ye Ren's promise, the system calmly responded.

"it is good."

Ye Ren nodded, and without saying much, he exited the evolutionary space with a thought.

[Exit the evolution space. 】

The surrounding space was slightly distorted for a moment, and Ye Ren soon woke up.

After Ye Ren woke up this time, he did not immediately look for the Queen. Instead, he took a look at the system bar and saw that his evolution points had increased by about 200 million again. Ye Ren did some calculations on his own and guessed The time it takes for you to enter the evolutionary space and create arms should probably not exceed one day.

"Is it really because these two kinds of insects are very simple to create?"

Ye Ren closed the system bar while talking to himself, then shook his head, and prepared to go to the central area where the Queen of Worms was.

But just when Ye Ren stepped forward, he found a cluster of very magical things in a corner of his sight. At this moment, it had grown to more than one meter high, with several wart-like things hanging on it. ...or something tumor-like.

"What the fuck is this?"

Ye Ren first said something subconsciously, and then the memory in his mind made Ye Ren clearly recognize what this clump of things was. That's right, it was the fungus that Dai Lin had planted before. The effort that took less than a day has actually grown, which is beyond Ye Ren's expectation.

"This thing grows a bit fast, I was shocked."

Ye Ren temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going directly to the Queen of the Insects, but walked up to the fungus plant, pulled a wart off the tissue that looked like a lot of hoses, and looked at it for a while. for a moment.

The skin of this thing is dark purple, covered with twisted black and red lines that look like blood vessels... or earthworms, and the whole thing is very irregular.

In fact, if you just look at it from the appearance, Ye Ren deduces that all the ingredients in the world are combined, and it is not as ugly as this thing, because this wart is really not like something that can be stuffed into the mouth .

Even Ye Ren, when faced with this toy, will inevitably have the illusion of "can this thing really be eaten?".

In terms of size, this wart is smaller than Ye Ren's fist, a bit like the size of an ordinary apple or potato, but Ye Ren can clearly feel it through the touch in his palm. , in fact, this thing is not very hard, it is a bit like a slightly soft or elastic substance.

Hmm...It feels slightly harder than Bai Mengmeng's, but it still has a certain degree of elasticity and softness, just like a piece of rubber with a solid touch and irregular appearance.

Although Ye Ren felt that the feel of this thing... No, the touch of this thing might be better if it was made of silicone, but it is obvious that Dai Lin's ability is not so heaven-defying, so this thing is still very thick in the hand. People have a heavy feeling.

"Do you want to try to take a bite?"

Ye Ren looked at the ugly wart in his hand. After hesitating for a moment, he opened his mouth decisively and tried to take a bite. In the midst of countless battles and killings, Ye Ren thought he had eaten There are also a lot of strange things, even if this food is unpalatable, there is no problem, I should be able to bear it, and even if it is poisonous, the immune mechanism in my blood can resist it.

"Crack..."

There was a strange gnawing sound, and Ye Ren's sharp teeth naturally easily pierced the elastic skin, and gnawed out a piece of pulp that was almost the same color as the internal organs... or warts.

Along with chewing, a very wonderful taste slowly spread in Ye Ren's mouth.

"Well…"

Ye Ren narrowed his eyes slightly, not to say that this food is too unpalatable or too delicious, but the taste is a bit strange, so you need to feel it carefully.

The taste of the wart meat still remains elastic, like chewing a slice of an elastic ball. If the teeth are not good, it is difficult to eat this thing as a staple food, and the taste is also quite amazing, compared with the sour, sweet, bitter and spicy that Ye Ren thought of. The saltiness is completely different. This is a strange taste with almost no saltiness, but it has a slightly fishy smell, and it is very juicy. Every time the leaf kernel is chewed with sharp teeth, it will ooze out from the flexible wart meat. Thick and tasteless juice with a slight fishy smell.

"It tastes a bit like sashimi, but it's more chewy..." While tasting the strange food, Ye Ren began to talk to himself again: "So it's a bit like raw octopus slices? "

"It's not an unacceptable taste."

After chewing twice more, Ye Ren swallowed the warts in his mouth directly, and then picked off two warts again, eating the warts in his hands while leaving the fungus hole.

After leaving, Ye Ren did not go directly to the Insect Queen, but first went to where Dai Lin was.

"Yo, girl."

While chewing on the wart meat, Ye Ren directly opened Dai Lin's room door with the interference of the electromagnetic field, and walked in with a big thorn.

"?"

Dai Lin was lowering her head to record something in a notebook at the moment, and raised her head after hearing Ye Ren's words.

Probably because she had had a good rest before, and because Hong He took care of her, Dai Lin didn't look very tired. It was completely different from when she was with Bai Mengmeng, giving people a very energetic feeling. It shows that Dai Lin sleeps more regularly at least, and seeing this, Ye Ren is naturally too lazy to care about her restless character.

Anyway, as long as you don’t really die from exhaustion, Dai Lin is now an unprecedented new life, and its vitality is definitely not weak. With the addition of my own endowment, although it is estimated that it is not as good as myself and Honghe, but I am crazy and stay up all night to fight to the death It must be much better than Bai Mengmeng and the engineer.

"what are you eating?"

Dai Lin naturally also noticed what was on Ye Ren's hands and mouth, put down the notes, and asked a question suspiciously.

"Taste it." Ye Ren didn't say much, and cut off a small piece of wart with a flick of the tail knife, and then threw it towards Dai Lin.

"Well…"

Naturally, Dai Lin's reaction was not the same as when Ye Ren first met, and without even reaching out, Xinghen rolled it up with a slap, and handed it to Dai Lin.

"It smells a bit like some kind of biological tissue, but it doesn't look like the texture." After observing it for a while, Dai Lin asked calmly: "According to the texture and smell, this should be the fruiting body of the fungus plant , but the time is not right, they have already produced fruiting bodies within a day?"

"Have you ever tasted this stuff?"

While chewing the wart fruit, Ye Ren asked Dai Lin.

"Uh...no." Dai Lin took a look at this grotesque and strange fruiting body. This thing was as terrifying as something brought out of the oven of the Eagle Country people, so Dai Lin shook her head dryly: " In fact, I have never eaten it, but I have taken some samples for experiments before, so I can estimate the proportion of nutrients contained in it from the data obtained.”

After saying this, Dai Lin became a little confused again.

"But the growth rate of the fungus seems to be a bit beyond my expectation. It should mature within a few days, but why did it mature so quickly?"

"Why don't you go and see for yourself first?"

Ye Ren didn't understand either, so he simply asked a question casually.

"Yeah... that's fine." Dai Lin nodded, and then stood up directly. After following Ye Ren for such a long time, some aspects of her personality were closer to Ye Ren's. For example, when it came to doing things, Qian's character, since he had already nodded and planned to go and have a look, he naturally put down everything in his hands at this moment.

Because the fungus plant is related to the nutrition of the queen, Ye Ren also pays more attention to this matter, so she plans to go with it.

So the two left the room directly, and walked quickly towards the bacteria hole.

But on the way, Dai Lin and Ye Ren happened to meet the engineer soldier, and at the moment his appearance was rather strange, and he actually carried a big black pot on his back, which happened to be the one that Ye Ren bought before.

"Boss?"

Naturally, the engineer saw Ye Ren and Dai Lin walking towards each other, so he greeted directly: "Doctor, boss, what are you two doing?"

"I taught Dailin to pick mushrooms."

Ye Ren started to make nonsense casually: "It's you, the engineer, do you want to be the one who takes the blame?"

"What the hell is the backer..."

The engineer raised his forehead: "I don't want to try to make stewed food. It's rare to have all kinds of kitchen utensils. Although my craftsmanship is only at the picnic level, at least I can stop drinking nutrient solution."

"is it?"

Ye Ren nodded and praised: "You are worthy of being the king of logistics. Not only are you an engineer and mechanic, but you can also work as a cook and soldier. You are so stupid as a engineer. Here, I will give you this."

After speaking, Ye Ren directly handed over a complete wart fruit in his hand.

"Boss, what the hell is this?"

The engineer obviously didn't know what this thing was, so after taking the wart fruit, he squeezed it twice with his hands, and said curiously: "It's still elastic, is it rubber?"

"This is a devil fruit."

Ye Ren smiled slightly.

"So that's it, so this is a devil fruit?" The engineer nodded, "It seems that if you eat it, you will be cursed by the sea..."

"You two are enough!"

Dai Lin couldn't bear it anymore, Ye Ren was enough to be nonsensical alone, but the engineers also followed suit, and he was a little curious about why the fungus grows so fast, but Ye Ren was just making trouble for himself Ah, now Dai Lin wants to pass by alone.

"Sapper, this is not a devil fruit, this is the fruiting body of a fungus plant I created, which is rich in calories."

After stopping the nonsensical conversation between the two, Dai Lin explained to the engineer.

"Yeah yeah."

Ye Ren also nodded his head: "Let me tell you, engineer, this thing can be eaten as long as the head is removed. The protein is four times that of beef, and the chicken tastes crunchy."

"so smart!"

The engineer's eyes lit up.

"..." Dai Lin really didn't want to talk at this moment. If it were Bai Mengmeng who could have suppressed the two of them with sharp complaints, Dai Lin had never been good at this kind of thing. In such a painful situation, I could only take a deep breath, then turn around silently, preparing to go to the fungus cave.

"Wait."

After Ye Ren saw Dai Lin's behavior, he also called out to Dai Lin and said in a tone like coaxing a child: "Okay, okay, stop making trouble."

"You still know that you are making trouble."

Dai Lin is really a little dumbfounded about Ye Ren's character. He is so powerful that it is almost unbelievable, and his mind is clear and calm enough. He has almost half a foot on the top of the food chain, but sometimes he becomes very unreliable. Spectrum, all kinds of brain-twitching things make me and Bai Mengmeng have a lot of headaches. What kind of trouble is this? Is it so difficult to be a reliable guy no matter when and where?

"Well, isn't this to ease the atmosphere a little bit, the underground world is so dull, I'm also afraid that you will be depressed."

Ye Ren shrugged his shoulders, found an excuse and said it casually, and before Dai Lin had time to refute him, he threw all the warts in his hand to the engineer, and said: "Engineer, take it down!" Study it, how to make this thing more delicious, and I will leave this difficult work to you."

"Eh?"

The engineer was also taken aback: "Boss, is this really edible?"

"Nonsense, I already ate one, okay?"

Ye Ren said: "Anyway, you take these two first, and try to see how they are made to taste better. Dai Lin and I have to go to the fungus hole to have a look, so we don't have time, so I will leave this arduous task to you." .”

"……All right."

The engineer looked at the distorted sarcoma in his hand, and nodded after thinking about it.

As for the episode of saying goodbye to the engineers, Ye Ren and Dai Lin soon came to the mushroom cave.

However, before Ye Ren and Dai Lin entered the fungus cave, they saw an engineer-type insect crawling out of it, and they also used pliers to hold a strange-looking wart fruit in their hands. They were very calm. Ignoring Ye Ren and Dai Lin, he crawled towards the center of the insect nest.

"……How is this going?"

Regarding the Zerg, Dai Lin obviously didn't know Ye Ren better than Ye Ren, so seeing this kind of thing at the moment, she could only ask Ye Ren: "You let the Zerg go in and collect it?"

"not at all."

Ye Ren raised his forehead; "I guess it's the queen's problem, but I'm not too sure, anyway, I'll ask it later."
