The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 59 - The Second Refresh Point
Chapter 59: Chapter 59 The Second Refresh Point!
Chapter 59 -59 The Second Refresh Point!
What genes needed to cultivate potatoes as a staple food crop?
Yesterday, unlimited multiplication was added to the potatoes. According to the experience with rice, thick fat is also adaptable.
But this time, Bai Yi decided to try other genes first.
For instance—gigantification!
If potatoes could adapt to this gene…
Potatoes as big as watermelons or even winter melons would be thrilling to think about!
She hadn’t had the chance to try this out since getting this gene yesterday!
*She had high hopes for this entry!*
[Current genes match well with the target, fusion requires 600 points of magic power. Proceed with fusion?]
“It’s steady!”
Bai Yi didn’t think much and directly began the fusion.
[Gene fusion completed, congratulations on creating a new species: unnamed (1st Rank/Gold)]
The panel didn’t show much of a change, only an added description of “gigantified plant” growth, with a required growth time of 9 days.
However, it didn’t matter much. Since it was a plant, under Bai Yi’s superpower, it was no issue.
Bai Yi cautiously planted the fused potatoes in the center of the greenhouse, unleashed her superpower, and began to cultivate them.
Reality proved Bai Yi’s foresight.
Gigantification was truly effective. The originally knee-high plants were now taller than Bai Yi, with giant potatoes raising the ground into mounds.
It took Bai Yi quite a bit of effort to dig them out.
If it weren’t for the level-enhanced attributes, Bai Yi might have struggled to lift them.
Truly watermelon-sized potatoes.
“If I were to add thick fat on top of this, how outrageous would it be then…?”
Unfortunately, the magic power value had decreased after fusion; otherwise, Bai Yi would have liked to see it immediately.
But now, Bai Yi needed to prepare for the midday challenge.
She had just suddenly had a premonition, a bad feeling.
*There was a strong sense that something unexpected would happen in the challenge.*
“Could it be that other mutant creatures will take advantage of the challenge to attack the territory?”
Bai Yi immediately considered this possibility, returned to lean against the giant tree, and integrated her consciousness into the Insect Swarm to patrol around the territory.
Caution is the parent of safety!

Suburbs of White Poplar City, Mechanical Workshop
In a spacious workshop, Jun Lin stood on a temporary iron platform, facing more than three hundred fully armed strong men below.
He had already prepared firearms using his talent before the Cycle Challenge.
On the first day, after gaining the first rank, he immediately chose the firearms and gunpowder workshops.
With the support of the workshops, Jun Lin thrived even more, spending his free time crafting various firearms and equipment these past two days.
He even strategically acquired enough food supplies from Fan Mao to sustain this group of followers in preparation for today’s challenge!
According to memories of his past life, besides the 5th day, today’s challenge was also a special intensity leap.
On the 5th day, the enemy’s rank broke through to the 2nd Rank, whereas today, the refresh points had doubled!
Although the level did not improve compared to yesterday, having two refresh points, if too far apart, could result in being attacked from both sides.
If there weren’t enough soldiers, the battle line might be dragged into the territory, potentially causing heavy losses.
However, he had no means to disseminate this intelligence.
After all, revealing this information would be incomprehensible as there was no clear source for the intelligence.
Last time, he could still attribute the intelligence shared with Fan Mao to a reasonable source, but this time, it was system intelligence.
The best he could do was to provide some hints after the refresh point marks appeared, to save as many people as possible.
Glancing at the panel’s timing, there was less than a minute left until the refresh point markers.
Jun Lin swept his gaze downward and said loudly:
“First and second teams, follow me to the first point, and the third team wait according to the plan!
Let’s move out!”
…
“Two refresh points?!”
Feeling the presence of two almost diametrically opposed markers in her mind, Bai Yi finally understood what her premonition was all about.
Bai Yi confirmed repeatedly that what she sensed was no illusion, but two distinctly different refresh points.
“This is troublesome. It’s only the 3rd day’s challenge, and the difficulty could escalate even more.
Even though the originally refreshed monsters would be split into two, it meant my Insect Swarm also had to split into two groups.
If only the needle erosion insects were cultivated sooner, it wouldn’t be so passive…”
But since it was now a fact, Bai Yi could only find ways to deal with it.
In her perception, the two refresh points showed up south and northwest of the territory.
They were too far apart, making collaboration impossible.
But to divide forces, Bai Yi at present had only 200 Poison Blood Beetles and 100 Destruction Giant Bees as combat units.
In the past two days, Bai Yi used the 100 1st Rank beetles and Destruction Giant Bees as the territory’s defense force, while the remaining 100 2nd Rank beetles constituted official combat power.
Crushing the low-tier monsters of the past two days was manageable, but today’s situation might be a bit stretched.
For assured victory, combat power needed to double at least.
The needle erosion insects couldn’t be counted on today, but beetle breeding only required 10 minutes, so there was still time.
She took out 200 units of Blood Flesh and invested them in the Insect Nest to initiate breeding.
Within the tree hollow, breaking off the needle erosion insect’s small class, Bai Yi recounted the current situation and outlined her plan.
“If the difficulty leap of the past two days continues, we may face small monsters of average level 20 today, which means significant pressure.
Moreover, there are 2 refresh points, requiring us to act separately.
My plan is for Zhan Yi and the three of you to lead 100 2nd Rank beetles to the first refresh point.
Meanwhile, I’ll breed more beetles to guard the second refresh point.
The remaining Giant Bees will stay to defend the territory against unexpected events.
This time, Zhan Yi, summon more skeletons, at least 200.
Remember, if you encounter invincible enemies, prioritize self-preservation!
Alright, let’s set off!”
With a wave of her small hand, Bai Yi heard a voice from behind.
“Mom! Mom! Don’t forget about me!”
“I told you, don’t call me mom…
Forget it, just follow my command later, and I’ll take you for a big feast!”
Given the urgent situation, Bai Yi didn’t bother correcting the needle erosion insect’s address.
Recalling the Blood Flesh earned easily with the Fungus Umbrella on the first day, Bai Yi’s heart moved.
As long as today’s monsters weren’t slime-like beings that lacked flesh, the needle erosion insects could reproduce significantly using Blood Flesh.
Despite only having 20 mature insects, their biting speed was slow, yet little accumulations mattered.
When her awareness connected to the Insect Swarm, Bai Yi controlled the beetles and 10 needle erosion insects to accompany Zhan Yi to the first refresh point.
The talkative needle erosion insects could now act as Bai Yi’s mouthpiece for remote command.
Instead of solely relying on beetles to convey simple instructions through actions.
Recomposing herself, she noticed the newly breed 2nd Rank beetles were now connected to the Swarm Consciousness in the territory’s Insect Nest.
Guided by Bai Yi’s will, they arrived at the second refresh point.
After two days of growth, the Fungus Umbrellas encircling the territory had mostly reached full maturity.
A thin white mist spread behind them, delineating the territorial boundary.

Yesterday’s slimes rendered the Fungus Umbrella ineffective. Let today not repeat that.
Relying on the mist from the Fungus Umbrellas and the beetles, today’s challenge shouldn’t be overwhelming.
Soon enough, the clock struck noon, heralding today’s monsters.
