The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen
Chapter 127 - 43: Parasite?

Chapter 127: Chapter 43: Parasite?

Entering the room and seeing the appearance of the people inside, they couldn’t help but be surprised. They had not expected that the leaders commanding these terrifying insects were actually two young women with robust figures.

Moreover, their attire was extremely crude, seemingly uncared for a long time.

These noble-born business representatives suddenly felt underestimated and disrespected.

However, they quickly adjusted their attitude and eagerly started pitching their proposals which they had prepared earlier.

"Miss, our Crete Mining and Refining Company is willing to offer thirty percent of all our mining profits, and..."

"Lord! My terms are absolutely more generous than theirs, we are willing to..."

"Lord..."

When they were no longer facing insects, but a living person, and a woman whom they subconsciously looked down upon, their fear seemed to vanish altogether.

Especially after the Erosion Worm that had brought them here also left the room, their tone of speech became notably firmer, and the room instantly became noisy, with different voices clashing.

They even gradually started pushing closer towards Bai Sheng amidst the jostling, Bai Fa furrowed her brows, raising her Magic Wand and launching a Space Arrow.

They hadn’t expected Bai Sheng and her group to attack without warning, and their first move was lethal.

The spurt of fresh blood suddenly silenced the voices, the two unlucky companions who were pierced on the floor served as a harsh reminder of the dangers here.

The remaining business representatives suddenly contracted like chicks, bowing their heads, only daring to shift their eyeballs to quietly watch Bai Sheng’s movements.

However, Bai Sheng paid no attention to them and continued discussing the map and planning their next steps with Bai Fa.

After leaving them hanging for more than ten minutes, Bai Sheng finally seemed to remember them, ending the discussion and lifting her head to sweep her gaze across everyone’s faces.

Although Bai Sheng could not understand their language, the connection to the Swarm Network formed by the Erosion Worm had not been disconnected after dragging them into it; they were merely blocked from communicating.

Therefore, their thoughts and so-called plans after leaving that room were clearly reflected in her mind.

At this crucial moment, they still cared about their property, worrying about their factories.

Hoping to use those shares and ownership rights, which were utterly useless to the Swarm, to preserve their assets.

Just as the master had said, they were all a bunch of selfish individuals...

However, to the Swarm, what they offered was less valuable than their own flesh.

At the very least, that could provide the Swarm with two new companions.

But there were two clever ones who seemed to meet the master’s needs.

Lifting the well-rehearsed tone over ten times, Bai Sheng’s hand hidden under the table grasped the tilted scales, making her voice more authoritative:

"Alright, we already know your thoughts.

But you need to understand one fact.

If the Swarm were to advance directly, even if Crete tried its hardest, it wouldn’t last two days, nor would it pose much trouble for the Swarm.

You actually thought to use the master’s property to exchange for your lives?

Originally, my idea was to turn you all into food for the Swarm, into reserves of Blood Flesh for the Swarm.

But fortunately, the master is merciful and is willing to give you a chance.

As some of you might have already heard, I will lead the main force of the Swarm across to Hailan continent tomorrow.

You have a total of 5 days, the master is only willing to provide one opportunity for you to join us.

After 5 days, when we return, we hope to hear only one voice."

Bai Sheng’s words echoed simultaneously in their minds, but before they could marvel at this miraculous ability, they were shocked by the implication of Bai Sheng’s words.

Could one opportunity mean this?

There are exactly 15 representatives here, and now only one can stay?

As for resisting, didn’t you hear this woman is already prepared to conquer Hailan continent in five days!

Moreover, if they were really prepared to resist, they wouldn’t have surrendered!

Since Lord Chong’s orders are absolute, one can only make things tough for their "own people"...

Before their arrival, the business representatives who talked about uniting for maximum benefit instantaneously crumbled and connived against each other.

Feeling the shift in their thoughts, Bai Sheng and Bai Fa couldn’t help but laugh.

As expected and predicted by their master, these people dare not resist them, but are quite adept at civil strife.

All they need to do is show their own strength and throw out a chance for survival, then they will start fighting amongst themselves.

As for this chance, it indeed is real.

After some careful consideration, Bai Yi felt that killing off all these merchants was a waste.

And within the territory, there indeed was a shortage of such calculating and worldly businessmen.

But as previously mentioned, only one is needed.

Bai Yi came up with a plan, learning from Emilia’s excellent experiences, considering all these merchants are alike, letting these intrinsically infighting merchants decide on the strongest among themselves.

Then use the Hero Conversion Certificate to transform them into an employee for the territory, responsible for external negotiations and trading affairs.

As for the method of control, Bai Yi had already prepared early, even providing two options.

One of them is the Swarm Consciousness, which Bai Yi has already calculated.

With the [Chimera] relic’s enhancement, the Magic Power consumed to fuse Humans with Swarm Consciousness has been pressed down to 2000.

And within these few days, she could breakthrough her Rank to the third stage. By then, with the increased Spiritual Value, combined with the increased Magic Power Value from drinking soup every night, she could gather these 2000 Magic Power Value before leaving the instance!

The second method would rely on the Insect Swarm.

These past few days, while Bai Yi was cultivating Transcendent plants, she had a new idea, inspired by a Transcendent Worm Grass obtained from the treasury of Zhuchen Country.

In it, she obtained a term called "control." If combined with the existing Parasite from the Fungus Umbrella, and matched specifically with some other genes, it might be possible to cultivate a parasitic type of Insect Clan that could control living organisms!

However, although the second scheme provides stronger and more stable control, fusing genes is somewhat metaphysical and might not necessarily reach the ideal effect Bai Yi hopes for.

And even if it truly succeeds, Bai Yi would probably still employ both methods.

It is precisely because of these two safety-net schemes that Bai Yi dared to settle this strategy and recruit an outsider for the territory.

And now, since Bai Yi had this idea, Bai Sheng naturally did his utmost to select the best one for Bai Yi.

Without waiting for their objections, Bai Sheng summoned the Erosion Worm to expel the still brainstorming business representatives from the city.

What she mentioned earlier was not false; she indeed plans to lead the Insect Swarm towards Hailan continent, preparing to resolve that front and secure the general situation sooner.

However, she does not plan to take all the Insect Swarm with her, but to leave 100,000 Insect Swarm hidden throughout Crete, which is not a problem for the current Swarm numbering 300,000.

Bai Fa will also stay behind, both as the leader of this part of the Swarm and to monitor the game in Crete for Bai Yi.

Just as Bai Sheng was preparing to continue discussing the specific operational plans with Bai Fa, the Swarm Network transmitted another message.

"Actively seeking support from the Insect Swarm? Wants to return to his family early?

Wants to stay loyal to the Insect Swarm, hoping only to protect his family?

I remember, from his surface memories just now, he always disliked his own family, yet he still wishes to preserve them.

Interesting, his character is at least much stronger than the others."

Bai Sheng had some impression of this man, he was one of the two business representatives Bai Sheng had noted earlier.

However, this bit of character, compared to others, is not enough to make Bai Sheng favor him too significantly.

This "game" ultimately still competes on ability.

"Send two Insect Swarms to take him back, but tell him, the Insect Swarm will not offer any help; only the ultimate winner will get the opportunity to join us."

Now, let’s see what happens next...

...

Hailan continent: Located to the west of Crete, accessible by crossing the Sunset Sea, originally a land where various continental nations exiled criminals and established colonies, but after that world-engulfing war, the Hailan continent was divided into two independent nations by two powers...
