Looking at the softened corpse on the ground, a few changes appeared in the Eye of the Data before Charles.
[Open the treasure box?]
"Open," said Charles, using his conscious mind to drive the Eye of the Data, to perform a systematic collection.
This is an exclusive feature between the Overlords. Whoever makes the first kill opens it. And since Catherine is now his mate, the right to open the treasure box naturally belongs to him.
[Congratulations to the Overlord for obtaining a skill book - Nature's Drizzle!]
A skill book?
Not bad.
Looking at the green skill book lying in the system space, Charles couldn't help but nod his head in satisfaction.
Perhaps because it's the early phase of entering the Continent of Overlord, the drop rate when killing these small bosses is quite good.
Nature's Drizzle is a unique skill of the Elf race, not of low tier, and could be exchanged for some natural timber.
"Catherine, use your Zerg Clan information database to scan this two-headed ferocious wolf to unlock the Zerg Clan template and the resources needed." Charles mused for a moment and said.
The main reason for this exploration is the need to spawn soldiers. The basis for spawning soldiers comes from a key Zerg Clan unit - the worker bee.
These creatures can greatly improve the efficiency of mining, and can quickly form a scale like an assembly line.
You should know that even as worker bees of the Zerg Clan, their combat power is comparable to those of the high-grade unranked warriors.
Catherine nodded, with the Queen's blade as the media, she quickly extracted the genes within.
She was surprised to find that her database actually returned feedback like this!
Catherine said earnestly: "Master, due to the special nature of this region, the Zerg Clan database also needs to be updated."
"The Zerg Clan units we can manufacture on an assembly line now include Hydralisk and Worker Bees. For Hydralisk, we still need to find some snake-like monsters for transformation. Any creature can be used for the Worker Bees. The energy unit of this two-headed wolf in front of us is enough to produce ten Worker Bees."
"Oh, when these Zerg Clan units are truly built, they may be stronger than those in the database. That's why data needs to be updated."
Hearing Catherine's statement, Charles nodded and said, "Alright, when we get back, you can first use a Queen's Clone to produce ten Worker Bees. The first monster siege of tonight is about to begin."
The Worker Bee, when activated, is a snowballing weapon.
One could say, without the laborious mining of Worker Bees, there wouldn't be the infinite spawning of the Zerg Clan disaster!
Catherine nodded, then curiously asked, "Master, why do you want me to split into a Matriarch Queen clone? Although we're efficient in terms of skills, I'm still better at specific micro management."
Just as she asked, Charles forcefully pinched her nipple, saying harshly, "You are my foolish woman, even for Spawning, it can only be through human childbirth... Catherine, you're not a birthing tool!"
Having his woman give birth to Zerg Clan offspring, even if it was just coding, made Charles sick to his stomach.
Fortunately, there was the Matriarch Queen Clone skill, otherwise he might have stumbled on this step a bit longer.
Upon hearing Charles' words, a touch of emotion filled Catherine's eyes.
Not a birthing tool, huh…
She was captured and taken to the black market as soon as she came of age, trained by the queens there in hopes of fetching a good price. She thought even though she was bought by a handsome master like this, her fate would be to be used until boredom and then be forgotten or awarded to a subordinate. Who would have thought that the master would turn out to be surprisingly innocent?
Even though, this sort of innocence is a little overbearing.
Her eyes were filled with adoration, instantly bringing life into the slightly deathly atmosphere. Maybe it's also nice being the master's foolish girl: "Yes, my Master. From now on, all Zerg Clan manufacturing will be handled by the Matriarch Queen clone."
"Well, allow me to explain: this egg-laying ability doesn't involve my body directly producing the eggs. Instead, it uses my programming knowledge to edit genes, and then the eggs are laid systematically on the mycelium mat, much like an assembly line."
It was then that Catherine knew her master was a very gentle person... even though he always cursed her as a naughty girl.
Alright, she admitted it herself.
...
At the Zerg Clan hive.
One by one, the large-faced white larvae lay neatly on the Mycelium Mat, absorbing the remaining energy of the wolf's body.
Not more, not less, exactly ten.
Charles curiously poked them and found that a little guy had broken the shell and exposed his ferocious mouth parts.
So cute.
He patted Catherine next to him and laughed, "These little guys look so cute, don't you think, silly girl?"
Upon hearing this, Catherine also responded with a smile: "Yes, my Master. They are very cute."
In the Overlord and Matriarch Queen's eyes, the ferocious larvae were like the most beautiful babies, their aesthetics stretched to the limit by the bloodline.
It wasn't long before all the Zerg Clan worker bees had hatched and completely consumed the wolf's nutrients, reducing it to stark white bones.
In the end, even the bones were eaten by the starving worker bees, serving as their final meal to consolidate their strength.
Charles looked at the worker bees one by one, each full of violent momentum, as an Eye of the Data swept over them.
[Zerg Clan Soldier]
[Species: Worker Bee]
[Battle Power: Lower First Rank]
[Skills: Magic Claw,Mining Magic]
Lower first rank, ten lower first ranks!
Charles couldn't help but smile. When in his past life did he achieve lower first rank?
It was about a week later, wasn't it?
But now, even the smallest soldiers start at the first rank!
If the dark red falls, it would be truly chaotic!
But the Magic Claw is quite interesting...he just checked, only two worker bees have this skill, the others have just regular Iron Claw.
He pointed to one of the worker bees, "Show me your Magic Claw."
The worker bee paused for a moment, and once it understood the Overlord's meaning, it started to use its skill quickly.
There was a faint red imprint on its claw. When it struck the big tree, it left a shallow cut mark. The mark showed faint signs of burn.
Is this the Magic Claw?
Charles turned around, asking curiously, "This skill...can it be innately injected into our genes?"
The Overlord has never been technical, this he knows all too well.
Catherine's eyes lit up, then she said somewhat helplessly, "Master, if you're talking about coding our genes, I can, but reorganizing the gene blocks of the soldiers…I'm afraid my computational capacity isn't sufficient yet."
"Unless I upgrade to the second rank, I can record magic as an attribute and install it in the soldiers. And even then, it requires special magic monsters like the two-headed wolf as a supply source."
Law of conservation of energy, that makes sense.
In the end, Catherine began to research coding recombination, the Worker Bees began to mine minerals, and Charles returned to studying the parchment.
Only four hours left until dark now, and those Overlords should be coming in.
Indeed, as soon as he entered, he was overwhelmed by the flurry of messages.
[ID1345: Haha, my fate race is a troll, the strongest existence in the unranked starting point!]
[ID9415: I turned into a clump of grass, and a tiger just pooped on my head. Who's going to rescue me!]
[ID3346: Coordinates...I'm a schoolgirl. As long as someone comes to save me, I'll give you a private chat and take a look at my pink labia.]
Charles scrolled through, carefully investigating the general information.
Just like in his past life, everyone started with ordinary races, with only a few lucky individuals awakening rare races.
As for his Overlord of the Zerg Clan, that was even less likely.
Or rather, even if there were, they wouldn't mention it here, as this is the channel for the same forest.
[ID1: Some exploratory information here: In about three hours, it will get dark, and during the night some terrifying creatures will attack everyone's Heart of the Overlord.]
[ID1: The best way is to actively explore and gain power to combat them.]
After speaking, he closed the parchment and began to wait for the arrival of nightfall.
Charles is ID1.
After all, he is also a human. It's okay to satisfy his hero dreams by sharing some information that does not involve benefits.
Apart from that, the main aim is to improve goodwill. When everyone grows and can afford his goods, he would exchange some worthless rare items for huge resources and reap a harvest.
...
Four hours later, animal roars began outside the hive.
Charles woke up from his light sleep, a glint in his eyes.
The first wave of monster attacks, has arrived!
