Chapter 15 Blood Amber
Upon realizing this, Li Cheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"The most significant threat I currently face is the genetic hunger caused by the Master of Insects infection, which risks me turning into a monster. To eliminate this hidden danger, the best strategy is to seek help from official agencies or guild organizations."
"They entered the killing field four and a half years ago and must have accumulated a considerable amount of resources, knowledge, and experience."
"However, there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. First, I must show potential worth cooperating with, and at the very least, have the means to protect myself. I can't have one foot in negotiations and the other being reported to the Special Affairs Bureau, only to be taken out with a single shot."
After pondering for a moment, Li Cheng saw a statement on the forum's registration page—only players could see the registration option, and non-players could not register as official forum members.
After confirming that his tourist status restricted him from accessing more content on the forum and gathering further information, Li Cheng closed the webpage and pulled two plastic boxes from under the bed, containing a mantis and insect pupae.
When he previously absorbed the gene and grew the Bone Blade, Li Cheng felt some connection with the mantis.
After reflecting for two days, he confirmed that it wasn't an illusion; he could indeed control the movements of the mantis to a certain extent.
Focusing deeply and consolidating the thought "lift your left limb" in his mind, the green insect in the plastic box slowly raised its left forelimb.
Changing his thought again, the mantis lifted its right arm and moved according to Li Cheng's will.
"Because I absorbed its genes, has it become my appendage? If the bee-like monster did not die before, would I have been under its control?"
