Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning
Chapter 104 – The Plan Begins, Seeking Bibi Dong Once More!

Lin Fan pondered for a moment before continuing to ask Dai Weisi,

"Then, in your imperial palace’s treasury, how many of these energy crystals are still left?"

Dai Weisi thought for a second and answered uncertainly,

"Seems like... several tens of millions?"

"Pfft! Cough, cough..."

Lin Fan suddenly felt a heavy pressure surge in his chest, causing him to choke violently.

His usually calm and expressionless face was completely distorted by Dai Weisi’s words.

"How many?! Say that again!"

His voice cracked slightly, disbelief surging in every syllable.

Seeing Lin Fan’s reaction, Dai Weisi cautiously responded,

"Tens of millions... Is something wrong, my Lord?"

"Huff..."

Lin Fan took several deep breaths in an attempt to calm his mind.

Even then, he felt light-headed, his thoughts clouded by this earth-shattering surprise.

It was simply too sudden!

Tens of millions of energy crystals...

Lin Fan nearly lost control of his will, his first impulse was to wave his hand and lead the Zerg swarm to conquer the Star Luo Empire, then steamroll the Douluo Continent using that energy stockpile.

Fortunately, his remaining rationality kept him grounded and reined in his excitement.

Still, inside, he felt as though his heart was bleeding.

Why? Just why?!

Why are some born in Rome, while others are born as oxen and horses?

He had just arrived in this world, struggling desperately just to survive and gather energy...

Yet Dai Weisi, if he ever needed energy, simply had to walk into the treasury and pull a crystal out from a neglected pile collecting dust.

That alone could fulfill all his needs.

Why is the world so unfair?!

Lin Fan’s crimson pupils now held a glint of danger as he stared at Dai Weisi.

Dai Weisi felt a chill crawl over his body under Lin Fan’s gaze. He lowered his head, guilt-ridden — though he had no idea what he was feeling guilty for.

“Dai Weisi, where is the Star Luo Emperor right now?”

After a long pause, Lin Fan asked in a low voice.

Originally, his plan was to use Dai Weisi as an entry point into the Star Luo Empire — the first domino to fall.

Now, the information Dai Weisi had just provided only confirmed the feasibility of that plan.

“My Lord, my father is currently in the palace, handling state affairs.”

Lin Fan’s eyes gleamed with a sharp flash of insight.

“Dai Weisi, could you arrange a private meeting with the Star Luo Emperor?”

Dai Weisi thought for a moment, then nodded.

“Not a problem, my Lord. When would you like me to arrange it?”

A strange expression appeared on Lin Fan’s face.

“Dai Weisi.”

“Yes, my Lord?”

Lin Fan’s gaze deepened, becoming as dark and vast as a black hole, flickering with crimson light.

“Dai Weisi... what are your feelings toward the Star Luo Emperor? And your family?”

Yet Dai Weisi remained composed as he replied respectfully,

"Everything is for the benefit of the Swarm. I obey the will of the Supreme Overlord without question."

"If anyone dares stand in the way of the Swarm’s progress, they will be crushed without mercy."

His tone was cold and emotionless, as if what Lin Fan mentioned had nothing to do with him at all.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Though Dai Weisi had been transformed by his subordinate — the Seduction Brood Queen — and reduced to a servant of the Swarm, those with strong mental resistance or unyielding willpower might eventually break free from the control.

But after a series of tests and questions, Lin Fan confirmed that Dai Weisi showed no signs of mental instability.

As for why he didn’t question Zhu Zhuyun?

Lin Fan suddenly recalled the array of services Zhu Zhuyun had provided for him — and his chest filled with heat.

Seriously, what kind of "good" person betrays their country like that... with their body?

“Dai Weisi, schedule that private meeting with the Star Luo Emperor soon. Once it’s arranged, inform me.”

“Understood, my Lord.”

Lin Fan nodded, then waved at the two women beside him.

“Let’s go. Time to head back.”

The three of them stepped into the wormhole.

The familiar, dizzying sensation engulfed their bodies as they reappeared inside Zhu Zhuyun’s base.

Xiao Wu looked around in awe,

“My Lord, this kind of technology… it’s incredible!”

Lin Fan nodded and muttered,

“It seems the Zhu Clan’s estate isn’t too far from the imperial palace, is it?”

Zhu Zhuyun was momentarily stunned and nodded stiffly.

“It... does seem that way, my Lord.”

Lin Fan slapped his forehead in frustration.

If not for their lack of legal identities to enter the imperial palace, they wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of digging out a tunnel worm!

Oh well, what’s done is done.

He turned to Zhu Zhuyun and ordered,

“Yun’er, you and Dai Weisi will begin expanding your bases. If possible, connect your underground facilities.”

“But remember — absolute secrecy is your top priority. No one must know.”

“Understood, my Lord!”

After giving those instructions, Lin Fan waved his hand, and a new Organic Gate of flesh and bone rose from the ground.

At the same time, he summoned the Hive Mind in his heart:

“Hive Mind, establish a new Tunnel Worm. Destination: Star Dou Great Forest!”

[As you command. Coordinates being established.]

Bzzzt—!

Crimson ripples of energy radiated from the Organic Gate, casting a mysterious glow over the structure.

Meanwhile, deep within the Star Dou Forest, in the underground hive...

A second Organic Gate rose from the ground, emanating a mystical aura and shimmering with void energy.

[Wormhole established. Coordinates locked.]

Boom!

The Organic Gate ceased its growth, standing tall before Lin Fan.

He waved at Xiao Wu and stepped toward it.

“Don’t forget my instructions, Yun’er.”

Bzzzt!

Lin Fan and Xiao Wu’s figures disappeared into the wormhole.

Star Dou Forest.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and stretched lazily.

“Ahh... there’s nothing like being back at your own base. Xiao Wu, how long were we gone?”

Xiao Wu tilted her head in thought.

“Seems like... a little over half a month, my Lord.”

“Half a month, huh? I wonder how the plot in this world has progressed while we were away.”

Lin Fan muttered to himself, then closed his eyes and connected his mind to the Zerg neural network.

It was time to initiate the next phase of his plan.

Spirit Hall.

Papal Hall.

A servant rushed in and knelt respectfully before the woman on the throne — a regal, peerlessly beautiful figure radiating unmatched majesty.

“Your Holiness, a man has arrived outside claiming to be an old acquaintance of yours. He told me to tell you... ‘Spirit Ring Evolution.’”

Before the words had fully left his lips—

Bibi Dong’s eyes snapped open.
