From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

Feeling sleepy, Xia Jieren's eyelids started to twitch again.

After a moment, he fell into a deep sleep.

Silent all night.

The next day, Xia Jieren slept until noon before getting up.

I simply washed up and cleared my still confused mind.

[Master: Xia Jieren]

【Energy: 3.9】

[Soldier template: Larva (20), Scout (u), Transporter (200)...]

[Units: Scout x100, Transporter x128, Worker Bee x1.2k......]

[Building template: Evolution chamber (100), nutrient embryo (100), warehouse (u)......]

[Buildings: Evolution Chamber x1, Nutrient Embryo x1, Warehouse x2...]

[Progress: Springtail (100%), Symbiotic Virus (10%)]

Opening the data panel, Xia Jieren's mouth corners curled up unconsciously.

Last night's harvest was great, with a small increase in the number of worker bees.

The Zergling template was successfully deduced with the contribution of the wolf pack, which was the biggest gain of this battle.

[Army: Zergling (Puppy)]

[Speed: 160km/h]

【Energy: 60】

[Introduction: Springtails are commonly known as Zerg puppies. They are small and ferocious, and run very fast. They have sharp sickle-like claws and sharp teeth, and they like to tear their enemies into pieces. Because their genetic code is very easy to copy, the energy produced is very small. They are a very cheap and practical troop of the Zerg. They are better at performing vigilance and attack tasks. ]

After opening the detailed information of the springtail, Xia Jieren's smile widened.

"With the springtails, I believe future battles will be much easier."

"The price-performance ratio of the Zerglings is great, but I wonder what their specific combat effectiveness is?"

So Xia Jieren went outside and planned to observe the springtails with his own eyes.

"Woo~"

As soon as he walked out the door, Xia Jieren heard a whimpering sound coming from under his feet. The sound sounded very familiar, very much like the sound of a puppy.

Xia Jieren looked down and saw two wolf cubs rolling around in the den. From time to time, they stood up and staggered forward as if they were drunk.

Fall! Stand up! Fall again! Stand up again...

Looking at their adorable appearance, Xia Jieren's love for them was beyond words.

He squatted down slightly, and in front of the horrified eyes of the wolf cubs, he suddenly hugged the baby in his arms and stroked it gently.

"The hair hasn't fully grown yet, so the feel is a little worse!"

Xia Jieren commented in his heart.

However, the movements of his hands did not stop at all.

These two cute little things are the cubs of the Silver Moon Wolf.

There is also a reasonable explanation for the fact that the Silver Moon Wolf did not escape when faced with a life-and-death situation.

“Mother’s love is so great!!!”

After discovering these two cubs in the cave, Xia Jieren also felt pity.

He asked the worker bees to take them back, intending to train them well, and it would be best if he could train them into a handsome mount.

Thinking of how cool he would look riding the Silver Moon Wolf, Xia Jieren couldn't help but chuckle.

In addition, six ordinary wolf cubs were also harvested and will be kept as pets.

Xia Jieren interacted enthusiastically with the Silver Moon Wolf cubs for a while, then sent them back to the wolf den.

The poor cubs fled to the corner of the wolf den, huddled together and shivered.

"This two-legged beast is so scary!"

After Xia Jieren left contentedly, he suddenly received a long-awaited piece of good news.

"Master Overlord, there is news about the Fungal Blanket template."

Kerrigan's surprised voice echoed in her ears.

After Xia Jieren was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth quickly rose, and finally he couldn't help laughing out loud.

He asked hurriedly, "What's going on? Have you found the missing gene?"

Kerrigan did not answer, and the next second, she pulled him into the heart net.

The relevant information flashed quickly through Xia Jieren's mind, and he understood it instantly.

"Silver Moon Wolf is really my lucky star!"

Xia Jieren once again praised the Silver Moon Wolf.

A new species of fungus was discovered in the cave of Silver Moon Sirius, which just made up for some of the key genes missing in the [mycelium].

The newly discovered fungus species are very similar to the slime mold on the blue planet. They are distributed on the walls of the cave, densely packed and look a bit creepy.

Slime mold is a type of organism between animals and fungi. It has a very wide distribution range and can exist in places where there are plants or plant residues and the temperature is suitable.

Xia Jieren will remember slime mold because of its unique reproduction method.

It spreads itself through spores, and always suddenly grows into a large area without anyone noticing.

The larger the area of ​​the slime mold, the faster it expands.

Taking another look at the fungus that almost covered the entire inner wall of the cave, Xia Jieren became more certain, "This should be a type of slime mold. Great, we can finally lock the fungal blanket."

I really didn't expect that the fungus strains brought back by the worker bees would be so important.

Soon, Kerrigan commanded the worker bees to march towards the wolf's den.

This time, even if we have to scrape the ground three feet deep, we must bring back all the slime mold in the cave.

Xia Jieren focused on this matter so closely that he even forgot about testing the springtails.

More than an hour later.

All the slime mold was sent into the extraction chamber.

The slime mold slowly melts away...

Xia Jieren looked a little nervous, fearing that the number of slime molds was not enough to unlock the [Mushroom Blanket].

Kerrigan used all her deductive abilities to complete the last piece of the fungal blanket puzzle.

Slime mold and energy are consumed rapidly.

[Progress: Symbiotic virus (12%), fungal blanket (43%)]

"Master, it is estimated that the [Mushroom] will be deduced in two hours."

Kerrigan looked at Xia Jieren and said excitedly.

Hearing this, Xia Jieren breathed a sigh of relief and a warm smile appeared on his face again.

He was really afraid that he would not be able to unlock the fungal blanket, which would be too torturous.

Fungal creep is too important for the Zerg now.

Even in the interstellar age, [mycelium] is an indispensable existence.

The reason for this is that the fungal blanket has a wide range of functions.

It can not only convert energy, transport energy, and transmit information, but also nourish Zerg troops and buildings.

It can be said that as long as the Zerg units and buildings are on the [Fungal Blanket], they can continue to recover health even if they are seriously injured.

Two long hours later.

【Mushroom】Deduction completed!!!

[Building: Creep]

[Energy: 100 (minimum)]

【Specification: 1p/㎡】

[Function: transform/transport energy, transmit information, nourish Zerg troops/buildings]

[Introduction: Fungal blankets are living Zerg organisms that nourish Zerg structures and larvae. Intuitively, they have a purple-red appearance and a thick, sticky texture. They have a honeycomb structure and rely on roots that are deeply rooted in the ground to extract and process minerals to feed themselves and other Zerg members. Fungal blankets grow very fast, and if not restricted, they can grow in various places from space platforms to water surfaces. ]
