Chapter 9

【New Building: Embryonic Sac — the breeding ground for hatching basic units】

【You have unlocked unit: Meat Worm】

"Finally, I have my own unit."

As a lord, not having even a single unit would be utterly inexcusable.

After establishing the 【Root Flesh Hive】, Lu Cang himself seemed to have gained an additional resistance.

This resistance was targeted at this kind of flesh.

At this moment, faced with this sanity-draining scene,

he should have felt fear and disgust.

But within Lu Cang's heart, there was not the slightest ripple.

In the end, terrifying things are merely the unknown.

Once these things become familiar,

the feeling of fear will no longer exist.

There might even be a sense of intimacy.

Lu Cang looked toward his unit introduction.

【Meat Worm】

【Grade: Cannon Fodder】

【Production Tier: First Tier】

【Attack Rating: 1】

【Defense Rating: 0】

【Production Speed: 5 per minute】

【Production Cost: 50 Flesh】

【Special Ability — Differentiation: Can differentiate into higher-tier units】

【Special Ability — Assimilation: Can attach to the surface of resources and assimilate them into flesh.】

【Flesh Collection Limit: 0/100】

【As flesh is gathered, the body will continuously swell, and movement speed will gradually decrease.】

【After completing flesh collection, it must be transported back to the Root Flesh Hive's heart to be converted into usable flesh resources.】

"An engineer-type unit."

Lu Cang recalled that other lords also had some engineers in the early stages.

For example, lumberjack units, mining units, quarrying units.

The varieties were numerous.

Moreover, there was an upper limit on population.

For the vast majority of lords, evenly distributing the gathering of various resources was a difficult problem.

Otherwise, during the development process, it would be easy to end up short of this and short of that.

Perhaps stone and wood would be very abundant, but when constructing a building, gold would be lacking.

Or perhaps sometimes gold would be very plentiful, but wood would be lacking.

This was a headache for every lord.

But clearly, Lu Cang would not have such a problem.

Because, for Lu Cang, all resources were converted entirely into flesh.

"I need to build the Embryonic Sac first before I can produce Meat Worms."

Lu Cang looked toward the interior of the cave.

"Mm, placing the unit-producing building outside is too dangerous."

Lu Cang still decided to place the Embryonic Sac inside the mountain cave.

【Embryonic Sac】

【Construction Cost: Flesh — 500 units】

【Hive Neurons Occupied: 1】

【Growth Time: 30 minutes】

【Effect: Produces basic units.】

Hive neurons were the construction quantity limit of the Root Flesh Hive.

Regardless of the type of territory, at every stage, there was a construction quantity limit.

Even the highest-tier was no exception to this rule.

However, at merely the first stage, Lu Cang's 【Hive Neurons】 had already reached as many as 30 points.

Far surpassing other territories.

Even within the records, a Transcendent-Mythic tier territory could only construct 7 buildings at the second stage.

Yet Lu Cang could construct 30.

"Grow the Embryonic Sac."

【Growing Embryonic Sac for you】.
