Suddenly, the thought of whether he could strengthen humans gradually emerged in Zhou Qi's mind.
"Right now, there are only four animal enhancement slots, and they've all been used up," Zhou Qi thought as he looked at the light screen.
Immediately, he decided to upgrade the Evolution Space.
He glanced at the Evolution Points, which had grown from 45 million in the morning to over 58 million.
"Congratulations, Host, for consuming 45,000,000 Evolution Points (90%). The Evolution Space has been upgraded to Rank 7 Evolution Space, adding one animal and one plant enhancement slot, and one new evolution origin point."
Seeing that the Evolution Points required for upgrading the Evolution Space were just met, Zhou Qi directly proceeded with the enhancement. It was still the basic two-piece set, with no new functions appearing.
Zhou Qi looked at the several people lying on the ground and decided to give the enhancement opportunity to Wang Yufei, who looked the strongest.
"Ding! Consumed 10,000 Evolution Points. Blue Star Humanoid enhanced to One-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid. Congratulations, Host, for gaining Elementary intimacy with the One-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid."
......
"Ding! Consumed 160,000 Evolution Points. Blue Star Humanoid enhanced to Five-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid. Congratulations, Host, for gaining the Five-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid's sworn loyalty."
"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully enhancing a Five-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid and promoting it to a One-Ranked Apostle. Acquired Talents: Elementary Physique Enhancement, Elementary Strength Enhancement, Elementary Agility Enhancement, Elementary Wisdom Enhancement, Recruit Human."
After the enhancement was complete, Wang Yufei had already woken up and was kneeling on the ground, saluting Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi curiously observed the enhanced Wang Yufei. After being enhanced to Rank Five, his entire aura had become sharp.
His height had subtly increased by a small margin, and the exposed muscle lines were firm and smooth, with arms as thick as tree trunks.
His formerly ordinary eyes now gleamed with a sharp light. No matter how dim the light, he could see everything around him clearly, even capturing the subtle movements of insect wings vibrating.
His skin shimmered with a faint silver glow, as if coated with a special metal. A light touch revealed a hard texture.
His entire appearance had undergone a significant change.
Zhou Qi opened the light screen:
Apostle: Five-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid
Rank: Elementary Lifeform
Race: Humanoid
Genes: Elementary Ape Genes
Life Essence: Carbon-based Life
Talents:
Two-Star Talents:
Elementary Physique Enhancement: Physique strengthened tenfold, including defense, recovery, stamina, adaptability, etc.
Elementary Strength Enhancement: Strength strengthened tenfold, including raw power, explosiveness, etc.
Elementary Agility Enhancement: Agility strengthened tenfold, including movement speed, reaction capability, etc.
Elementary Wisdom Enhancement: Wisdom strengthened twofold, including personal IQ, thinking ability, etc.
One-Star Talent:
Recruit Human: Can recruit five humans as subordinates. Current initial state after recruitment is Elementary loyalty.
Life Strength: 11
If he were to wear a suit and carry a shield, he would be exactly like "Captain America."
Zhou Qi was very pleased. He hadn't expected that enhanced humans would be like hexagonal warriors, with almost no weaknesses.
Furthermore, he possessed the Recruit Human talent, which could solve the current problem. Considering that Elementary loyalty was not very secure, Zhou Qi immediately decided to continue enhancing him.
"Ding! Consumed 320,000 Evolution Points. Blue Star Humanoid enhanced to Six-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid. Congratulations, Host, for gaining a slight increase in all attributes for the Six-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid."
"Ding! Consumed 640,000 Evolution Points. Blue Star Humanoid enhanced to Seven-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid. Congratulations, Host, for gaining a slight increase in all attributes for the Seven-Ranked Blue Star Humanoid."
After two consecutive waves of enhancement, Wang Yufei's Life Strength had also reached 13 points.
Zhou Qi had him wake up the others on the ground and immediately initiated the recruitment.
In an instant, before the other few could react, their eyes gradually became dazed, then slowly cleared up.
They all knelt on one knee, bowing to their master!
Zhou Qi began to understand the general situation of the few people.
Among the five, except for Chen Feng, whose family was in politics, the other four families all had their own companies and assets, whether large or small.
Zhou Qi pondered for a moment. Since they were now his dependents, then what was theirs was also his.
He immediately ordered them to return home and, under the guise of investment, build an insect breeding farm at the foot of White Snake Mountain. At that time, he would send his dependents to harvest Evolution Points.
The speed of obtaining Evolution Points would definitely increase significantly, Zhou Qi couldn't help but exclaim to himself.
Then he let Sun Yufei and the others go back, and Zhou Qi wandered alone in the Underground Base.
Everything was flourishing. Looking at the previously enhanced Rank Ten True Emperor Scorpion and Rank Ten Golden-Bellied Giant Mosquito, etc.
A bold idea popped into his mind.
If these two creatures were combined with the extremely explosive large fleas, as well as cockroaches and Army Ants, what kind of monster would that create?
Before he could think further, Zhou Qi saw that there were only two Little Tai Cang Dragons left in the cave, and one was missing.
"Buzz," Zhou Qi leaped up, and terrifying Mental Energy burst forth, sweeping in all directions, meticulously searching every inch of the underground Cave.
However, the missing Little Tai Cang Dragon left no trace.
Fearing it might have left the Underground Cave, Zhou Qi immediately ordered the Five-Ranked Army Ants, except for those feeding Yellow Mealworms, to all go out and search White Snake Mountain.
............
December 3, 2016
Current Evolution Points: 65,000,000.
In a flash, two days had passed. Countless Five-Ranked Army Ants and other dependents had almost turned White Snake Mountain upside down, yet not even a shadow of the Little Tai Cang Dragon was found.
Zhou Qi no longer thought much about it, only letting his other dependents continue tracking towards the Huangshi Mountain Range.
Then he also placed some dependents around his parents. If they encountered danger, it could be nipped in the bud. He didn't think about anything else.
On the other side, after Wang Yufei and the others returned, they immediately went back to their respective homes overnight, saying they had discovered business opportunities in White Snake Mountain.
The few of them then began to prepare for the construction of the insect breeding farm.
Wang Yufei, relying on his family's substantial financial resources and the connections of the other families, quickly processed all the approval procedures.
Yesterday, a massive construction team had already driven into the foot of White Snake Mountain and set up camp next to the village where Zhou Qi's family lived.
The roar of excavators, cranes, and other large machinery broke the previous tranquility of the countryside. Amidst the flying dust, the prototype of the breeding farm gradually appeared.
Wang Yufei was even busy at the construction site every day, supervising the progress of the project.
Relying on his body, which had been strengthened by Zhou Qi, and his physical qualities far exceeding ordinary people, he did not feel tired even when dealing with such complex matters every day.
As for the others, they were tirelessly contacting various insect suppliers nationwide. Everything was developing in a good direction.
......
At the foot of a mountain in the Huangshi Mountain Range, Uka sat down on the ground, exhausted, constantly looking around.
After escaping from the "weirdo," it dared not stop for any rest, running all the way to this place, fearing being caught by the weirdo.
"This should be it. I feel the aura of the great {Endless Devourer}, Lord Uroboros," Uka got up and looked towards a corner.
