Chapter 1851

"Let's start improving a new ability for the Silkworm Clan right now!"

"Mm, alright."

Gu Qing sat up.

Zhao Chi opened the Silkworm Clan interface:

【Please set hereditary genes】

【Gene Inheritance Points: 101】

【1. Toxic Body Fluid】 0%

【2. Robust Pectoral Muscles】 0%

There were two gene options to choose from.

But the first one was definitely the choice.

Silkworm Clan females were very strong; if their silk threads could be infused with corrosive venom, they would become all-purpose threads capable of both healing and attacking.

As for Robust Pectoral Muscles… there was no need for it right now.

After all, this gene's effect was mediocre — it could only increase pectoral muscle content by 100% and corresponding defense by 100%.

The attribute boost was indeed sizable, a full 100%, but the effective area was too small.

Its biggest use seemed to be increasing size…

Gu Qing had already gone up a full size.

She could wait and accumulate enough gene points later to change it; it definitely wasn't being considered now.

100 inheritance points invested.

Toxic Body Fluid activated to 100%.

A faint glow emanated from Gu Qing's abdomen.

"My lord, you still need the Racial Gene Expansion Stone…"

"Oh, right, here you go."

There were only 2 left at the moment; once the Silkworm Clan improvement was done, only the very last one would remain.

Hopefully the exchange would have someone selling them after a while; being more expensive didn't matter.

Gu Qing clicked to use it.

The Expansion Stone emitted a soft light, slowly fusing into Gu Qing's gently contracting abdomen.

The next moment, the light dispersed.

The system sent a prompt:

【Taoyuan Silkworm Clan has acquired the hereditary gene "Toxic Body Fluid"】

This was great.

The Silkworm Clan had become a super powerful race that combined offense and defense.

They possessed self-healing body fluid, able to rapidly treat their own injuries.

As long as their body fluid was sufficient, they could almost remain completely unscathed.

Moreover, they could also spray silk, controlling enemies or harming them entirely at will.

Combined with their higher base attributes, the Silkworm Clan was now truly among the strongest batch in Zhao Chi's forces.

Right now they only lagged in level.

After fighting a couple more battles, they would completely surpass the other female soldiers.

Additionally, after Zhao Chi woke up from sleep yesterday, his level had indeed risen to 41 as expected.

A level-41 lord at the age of 20.

This speed was practically faster than flying.

Likewise, his 4 female subordinates had all reached level 41.

Getting stronger and stronger.

Zhao Chi was thinking, while Gu Qing was watching him.

Her face flushed red, unusually radiant.

Gu Qing certainly wasn't shy — she just hadn't recovered from the state she was in moments ago.

The tenderness in her eyes was practically congealing.

Zhao Chi actually felt a little embarrassed being looked at like that.

"What's wrong, Gu Qing? If you keep looking at me like that, I'm afraid… you'll be in for it."

Gu Qing giggled: "It's fine, I can still go. Anyway, it's already a new day. My lord, you'd better use up the new gene points as soon as possible, so you don't miss the timing and have to grab us away in a rush to ravage us."

Zhao Chi deeply related.

This was exactly why he sought them out first thing every time he recovered at dawn.

He was afraid something would delay him, the timing wouldn't work out, and then it would all be wasted in vain — truly a pity.

It seemed he had to keep maintaining the habit of transmitting at dawn from now on.

Get things done ahead of time.

Zhao Chi said: "Are you still okay? Didn't you just say you were about to die?"

Her state just now really was different from before.

If one only listened to her voice, it seemed a little pitiful.

But looking at her reaction, it was quite the opposite.

Gu Qing smiled: "Now that the Silkworm Clan has acquired the Toxic gene, you don't have to give all the inheritance points to me anymore — share some with the other sisters. If it's only a few points, I can still handle it right now."

"Are you sure?"
