The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen

"Did card drawing actually have a bug?!"

Looking at the pile of cards, Bai Yi gaped in astonishment, momentarily at a loss for words.

Reaching out, he tentatively flipped over a card, and luck was on his side, a purple glow.

Upon seeing the glow from beneath the card, Bai Yi covered it back up without revealing what it was.

The card neither vanished nor flipped over on its own, nor did the tabletop disappear; it was as if it had never been lifted at all.

"Really..."

Bai Yi gazed at the scene in disbelief, a mix of delight and surprise intertwining in his heart at that moment.

"Damn! I've played card-drawing mobile games for so long. When have I ever experienced something like this!

If the card draw went wrong, I could redraw?!"

But after a burst of excitement, Bai Yi calmed down and began to think:

"Will others discover this bug? Is it possible for them to report it?"

Yet almost instantly, Bai Yi dismissed this possibility.

At least, in this current world, not many people should have access to such a soldier package, and thus the opportunity to draw cards.

Jun Lin, who achieved the first-tier first kill, likely has it, and that anonymous person might as well, but Bai Yi hadn't heard any announcement about others; not ruling out other channels, even if there were, they would be incredibly scarce!

Moreover, even if someone did flip the card normally, it's rare for anyone to put it back without looking and go off to do something else like he did.

So it's not impossible for others to discover it, but for the time being, Bai Yi seemed to be the only one aware.

Even in the worst-case scenario, if someone really did discover it, they wouldn't think of reporting this bug. After all, these were stable golden items!

Feeling reassured, Bai Yi decided to study this card drawing system first.

Immediately, Bai Yi lifted a small corner of each card, sorting them into piles according to the glow's color and its rarity. Finally, he concluded:

Both card piles had 50 cards each, with the advanced pack containing 2 gold cards, 8 purple cards, 15 blue cards, and 15 green cards, with the last 10 being white cards.

The regular pack had only 1 gold card, 4 purple cards, 10 blue cards, 15 green cards, and 20 white cards.

In terms of probability, it seemed reasonable, much better than many card-drawing mobile games.

The necessary information had been organized, so next came the gamble.

The insect pack gold card had only one, so there wasn't much to ponder, but for the plant cards, there were two gold cards, requiring a choice between them.

Leaving it to fate, Bai Yi casually picked up a gold plant card from the left, lifted it along with the insect gold card.

Dazzling golden light shot out from the card surface, piercing Bai Yi's eyes. He blinked, and the tabletop along with the remaining cards disappeared.

Sensing the anticipated result with an inner nod, Bai Yi became excited, waiting for the golden glow to fade.

"Show me what I got~"

[You opened a Random Advanced Plant Soldier Pack and obtained the [Endless Moss Petri Dish] (1st Tier/Golden)]

[You opened a Random Insect Soldier Pack and obtained the [Killing Giant Bee Hive Blueprint] (1st Tier/Golden)]

[Endless Moss (1st Tier/Golden): An extremely prolific moss that absorbs all encountered nutrients to convert into reproductive power, capable of absorbing blood and flesh to accelerate growth.]

[Low Consumption Mode: Transforms into a low consumption mode when unable to obtain nutrients, surviving through photosynthesis.]

[Digestion Mode: When fresh blood and flesh are obtained, secretes special digestive juices to convert the flesh into stored nutrients.]

[Killing Giant Bee Hive Blueprint (1st Tier/Golden): After learning, you can use materials to craft a [Killing Giant Bee Hive], requiring materials: Crystal Core (1st Tier) *10, Honey *50, Wood *100, Stone *50, Fresh Blood Flesh *50]

[Killing Giant Bee Hive (1st Tier/Golden): Can consume fresh blood flesh to recruit (reproduce) units of [Killing Giant Bee], hive includes Queen Bee*1, Worker Bee*5, recruitment cost: Fresh Blood Flesh *1, Honey *1]

After displaying their information, both cards disappeared, yet the card representing Endless Moss left behind a transparent glass vessel, containing a small patch of moss, presumably the so-called "Endless Moss."

"Did it actually provide the physical item?", Bai Yi wondered.

He attempted to use his superpower on it, discovering gene entries extractable from the moss.

They were photosynthesis, acid secretion, and infinite multiplication.

Although the organism itself seemed useless and hard to control, at least its gene entries were quite good.

Regrettably, Bai Yi had exhausted his magic power while collecting gene entries from various mutant creatures earlier, leaving only 34 points recovered.

It wasn't nearly enough to extract another genetic trait, so he temporarily gave up.

"But placing this outside seems too dangerous. If I inadvertently damaged it..."

Imagining the entire forest engulfed by moss, Bai Yi shivered.

"Can it be stored in the panel?"

Testing this out, Bai Yi successfully stored it in the warehouse, surprisingly successful on the first try, unlike his attempts to store Giant Boar Pork.

Resolved of a major problem, Bai Yi began contemplating his next steps.

Most crucially, there were food and water issues to address.

Although he had heard the sound of water on the forest's edge earlier, returning posed safety concerns, and raw water needed boiling before consumption.

Otherwise, if he were to fall ill here, with no hospitals or doctors, it would mean welcoming death.

But boiling water was problematic, lacking both a pot and fire, making it impossible to boil any.

"For now, I'll have to see if I can use this meat to trade for some drinking water, also needing to trade for fire sources and an iron pot.

Then, I need to trade for some stones and wood, along with acquiring honey.

Sigh, the materials required for rare soldiers are annoyingly tricky. It's understandable for wood and stone to be in high demand, but requesting 1st-tier crystal cores and honey is excessive!

Tsk, hopefully that hive can produce honey in the future; otherwise, without a stable source, soldier production will be a problem.

Once bought, the Bloodthirsty Beetle nest should be promptly constructed.

The current progress feels too slow; who knows, others might have finished their barracks and are out hunting monsters. I need to quickly develop and start farming soon."

Having finalized a plan, Bai Yi immediately took action, opening the panel to enter the Free Market.

Posting all 637 units of pork on the ground to sell, realizing that the giant banyan had stealthily eaten 7 units.

This time, the roots extended directly from the bottom of the corpse, not reacting until Bai Yi wiped over the boar body and uploaded it to the market, whereupon the small root continued bobbing, seemingly unfazed.

Then, Bai Yi separated 10 units of his pork, listing each unit individually, setting up the trade information:

[Sell Fresh Blood Flesh*1, Price: Wood *20/Stone *40/Honey *1]

Previously, in his haste to store the meat, Bai Yi hadn't noticed that upon uploading, the pork had been automatically categorized, separating the innards into different transactions.

Moreover, while selling, the trade item names could be set, though not too exaggeratedly. For instance, the pork couldn't be renamed beef, but could be labeled as raw bacon.

Using this feature, Bai Yi removed the sensitive information from Giant Boar Pork, changing it to Fresh Blood Flesh instead.

Yet, Bai Yi didn't immediately list it; instead, he first opened the channel.

Bai Yi was about to advertise himself.

Crystal Core: After the mutation occurred, even ordinary people experienced a significant increase in strength, acquiring a basic crystal core. This special energy aggregate also became the only universally recognized currency in this mutated world...
