Laws of the Insect Hive

Without hesitation, System chose to strengthen his fundamental talent [Numerical Code] again, and a power more peculiar than [Metamorphosis Growth] gradually poured into his spirit.

As System learned more and more about the world, System became more and more mysterious about his talent [Numerical Code].

Like a burst of white light appearing in the spirit, System reappeared in the digital sea of ​​0s and 1s, and he also turned into the ball of light in the center of the digital sea again.

The strange power from [Pupation] continues to strengthen this world.

There were no reference objects around, but System felt that after these few months, the light ball he had transformed into grew up, and the digital planets around him also grew up.

[Data Storage] and [Data Compilation] turned into two huge planets surrounding him. There were also two satellites on the planet of [Data Compilation], which were [Power Enhancement] and [Insect Power Activation].

And the [tool menu] that contains all kinds of small abilities has turned into a meteorite belt, surrounding him in the most distant position of the galaxy.

Taking his eyes away from the galaxy, System stared at this digital ocean.

Compared with the third degeneration of System a few months ago, the digital ocean has had more changes. Many numbers have become closely combined with each other, forming irregular large blocks like land or islands.

These irregular digital islands did not make System feel too strange, because System's attention at the moment was all focused on a tumbling sphere in the digital sea.

This is a small digital ball. It can change its shape slightly like gelatin, sometimes wriggling, and sometimes jumping in the digital sea.

System, who was staring at the digital ball, always felt that he had seen this kind of ball somewhere, and it was very familiar.

"Isn't that a slime?"

System quickly discovered the reason why he felt familiar with the sphere. Except for the difference between the gelatinous body and the numbers, the little things born from this sea of ​​numbers were basically the same as his old friend Slime, but he didn't know it. Will it divide as it grows.

System did not stare at the life born in the sea of ​​numbers for too long. With the strengthening power of the [Pupation] talent, the entire sea of ​​​​digits became tumbling like a boil.

A large number of numbers poured out from the sea of ​​numbers, rushing towards the light ball formed by System. System felt that the light ball of his body was merging with these figures, and his spirit became dizzy. almost.

Not long after, System fell into a coma.

...

When System woke up from a coma, the strengthening of the [Numerical Code] had been completed.

Perhaps the enhancement effect of the [Pupation] talent is good enough, or maybe the enhancement effect of this time towards magical life is extraordinary. /10), just one step away from reaching a new level.

[Data Storage] and [Data Compilation] have also been improved, reaching [Data Storage] (8/10) and [Data Compilation] (7/10).

As for other derivative abilities, they have also been improved more or less.

Not only that, during System's coma in the Digital Sea, he acquired a brand new talent [Dataification] (9/10), and the derivative ability of [Dataification] [Exploration Analysis] (8/10 ) and [Data Template] (8/10).

The so-called talent [digitalization] does not literally mean to digitize the body. It is like playing an online game so that the body has no weaknesses, and it is impossible to break arms or legs, but only lose health.

If System was asked to explain, he was more inclined to regard the ability of [Dataification] as the [Appraisal Technique] in many games, showing some things as data.

But the ability of [Dataization] is obviously more peculiar than [Appraisal], and it has a magical effect.

...

[Dataification] (9/10): The talent obtained by [Numerical Code] and [Perception], System's unique talent. Possess the ability to probe transaction data and give transaction data.

[Exploration Analysis] (8/10): The derived ability obtained from [Dataization]. Analyze the target and display its data by using the power of [Sensing].

[Data Template] (3/13): Derived abilities obtained from [Numerical Code], [Dataification], [Data Compilation], and [Teleportation]. Grants the target part of the ability of [Numeric Code].

...

The ability of [Exploration and Analysis] is very close to [Appraisal Technique]. Through the [Perception] target, the composition of the target can be more easily explored. At the same time, the description of the combat power in System [Tools Menu] finally has a role to play. Probe and estimate the approximate range of the target's combat power.

As for [Data Template], it is a magical ability, which can give some abilities of [Numerical Code] to other targets, so that the target can obtain some small abilities in [Tools Menu].

However, the [Data Template] ability has many limitations, and every time it is granted, it will consume a lot of experience points of System, and if the ability is given too much, it will also consume his lifespan.

Since System was still in a pupa state, he was unable to test this ability in detail.

...

After experiencing the enhanced [Numeric Code], System bored and continued to wait in the chrysalis.

His third pupation is still very long...

The bored System sometimes watched past images, and sometimes used the [Data Compilation] ability to recompile the various abilities in the [Tools Menu].

The improved [Data Compilation] ability became more controllable, and System also tried to compile a few simple mini-games to pass the time, such as Tetris, Snake and some elimination games.

But these games are very boring, because of the ability of [Data Compilation], as long as System has a little thought, the game will become the result he wants, just like installing a plug-in, without any challenge.

System sometimes watched the previous images, sometimes learned the words of the Rat Man, fell asleep when he felt sleepy, and continued to watch the movie when he woke up...

In this way, in the darkness, System woke up, woke up and fell asleep, and the time recorded in the [Tools Menu] unknowingly passed more than two hundred days.

Somewhere, System felt that there were many figures around him, including Shava, Black, Little Meatball, Ola, and his other ant people.

The comatose System also felt the spiritual message sent to him by the ant queen Linda. Linda who mastered the ability of [mental connection] seemed to have successfully emerged from the chrysalis, but it seemed that Linda only came during his drowsiness. Once or twice, nothing happened after that.

System was unhappy at first, thinking that Queen Linda was indifferent, but after a while he gradually came to understand.

With the shape of Queen Ant Linda, it is estimated that after the rapid growth of the body, it is no longer possible to reach here through this narrow passage, so I did not visit him again.

During this period, System also felt a special presence. It seemed that the shadow who assassinated the old Druid also came.

But System only felt the shadow coming for a few days, and then the shadow disappeared again.

...

Time passed little by little, and System's pupation seemed to take longer than he imagined, and it seemed to be much longer than the half-year he expected.

But System could feel that the liquid in the chrysalis was solidifying little by little, and his chrysalis would be completely completed one day...
