I Am The Swarm

Not long after, the newly adjusted small dinosaurs successfully produced offspring as well. The successive successes of both experimental species greatly boosted Luo Wen’s confidence.

With the nutritional support of the Fungal Carpet, the newborns grew rapidly. Their brain capacity, inherited from their modified parents, had slightly expanded. They were then paired with the enhanced experimental specimens for further breeding.

Generation after generation, through continuous reproduction, the brains of the new Tail Lard Rats and small dinosaurs grew progressively larger and more intelligent. After some training, they could already understand some of Luo Wen’s instructions.

During this period, Luo Wen discovered an additional feature of the Swarm Network. Its essence seemed to be a form of awakened psychic power that had undergone mutations due to a sacrificial infusion of special energy. However, it still retained some general abilities associated with psychic power.

For instance, Luo Wen could forcibly link to certain individuals with lower psychic strength than his own, transmitting information directly via telepathy.

In one of his experimental fields, two Tail Lard Rats crouched in front of Luo Wen. One was bred naturally, while the other was produced by a Brood Queen. Under the demonstration of the Swarm-bred Tail Lard Rat, the naturally bred one quickly learned several commands, such as sitting, shaking hands, and eating.

But such accomplishments seemed trivial. On Earth, domestic animals like pet dogs could easily learn these tricks with some basic training. Some even exhibited abilities like counting, yet none had ever developed scientific theories.

Luo Wen began seriously recalling human evolutionary history. After brain expansion, the next milestone was mastering the use of tools, wasn’t it?

Thus, for a time, the experimental fields were filled with the sight of Tail Lard Rats and small dinosaurs wandering around with small wooden sticks, banging on things.
