After much thought, Zhou Qi decided to contact Wang Yufei.
He found a quiet corner, took out his phone, and dialed Wang Yufei's number.
From the other end of the phone, Wang Yufei's voice, full of enthusiasm and a hint of adoration, quickly came through: "Brother Zhou, what can I do for you? Just give the order!"
Zhou Qi had previously ordered Wang Yufei not to call him Dominator on the phone, fearing it might be monitored.
"It's like this, arrange a job for me. I'll work for you once your breeding farm is built," Zhou Qi said indifferently.
Wang Yufei responded without hesitation: "Brother Zhou, leave this to me! You can rest assured!"
Not long after, Wang Yufei brought Zhou Qi good news.
He found an ideal position for Zhou Qi—a consultant for their newly established biotechnology company, primarily responsible for the adjacent breeding farm.
Wang Yufei went to great lengths for Zhou Qi. Not only was the salary for this position astonishingly high, but the working hours were also very flexible. This allowed Zhou Qi to legitimately inspect the breeding farm and collect Evolution Points.
Everything was waiting for the construction of the breeding farm, named White Snake Mountain Breeding Farm, to be completed. At that time, a continuous stream of Evolution Points would arrive, and Zhou Qi's mood also soared.
Before this, Zhou Qi had set a small goal: to accumulate 1 billion Evolution Points to upgrade the Nine-Order Army Ant Queen to Tenth Order, becoming a Second Order Apostle, and gaining new talents.
Time slowly passed...
January 8, 2017
Current Evolution Points: 978,000,000.
After nearly a month, Zhou Qi harvested over 20 million Evolution Points daily from the Yellow Mealworms breeding in the Underground Base.
Looking at the almost within reach goal, he felt an itch in his heart, like being scratched by a cat.
After some thought, Zhou Qi still couldn't wait to go to the Underground Base. The Underground Base had undergone a major transformation.
During this time, Zhou Qi had specifically strengthened the fireflies to the current limit of Level 7 Evolution Space, totaling 70, illuminating the vast Underground Base brightly.
In the air, teams of Fifth-Order Zhu Yan Demon Insects, the height of elementary school students, flew like patrolling guards.
On the ground, majestic 5th Order Thorn Horned Beetles transformed into miners, constantly expanding the area of the Underground Base to accommodate more Dependents s and breed Yellow Mealworms.
In the underground lake, there were tens of thousands of Fifth-Order River Earl Insects, blocking monsters from the unknown waters connected to the underground lake at the bottom of the lake.
Zhou Qi ordered all these monsters that dared to show their heads to be captured alive and imprisoned in a cave in the stone wall.
There were frogmen and nine-headed monsters Zhou Qi had seen before, and many more he hadn't, all strangely shaped. If it were the old Zhou Qi, he would probably be scared into nightmares again.
Zhou Qi stood outside this cave without changing his expression, thinking to himself that it would be great if the Evolution Space could obtain Evolution Points by hunting creatures other than insects.
Beside Zhou Qi, a calf-sized figure was crouching, it was Tai Cang Dragon Uka.
Zhou Qi glanced at it and said, "Have you seen these monsters before?"
"Never. During the great war, the Master of the Underground - Earth Vein Dragon was the first Old Gods to perish. It perished too quickly, and its dependents sensed the Dominator's demise before they even left the underground, so they did not participate in the final war."
Uka said in a hoarse voice. These days, it had learned human language by modifying its throat.
For it, having survived in the Antarctic Outer Realm for an unknown number of years, the language of lower life forms was very easy to learn.
Uka turned its head to look at the cave, its eyes revealing a very strange gaze, then continued, "These should be the descendants of the Master of the Underground's dependents from back then. For them, the Master's demise is neither a blessing nor a misfortune!"
Uka silently withdrew its gaze. It had already come to terms with it; Uroboros had already perished.
Its only wish now was to return to the Antarctic Outer Realm, to the place where it was born and raised, and to see if its clan still existed.
So, a few days ago, while Zhou Qi was in the Underground Base, it had already known to adapt to the circumstances.
Zhou Qi glanced at Uka but did not respond. He activated his Mental Power and transferred Uka to the surface as well.
On the surface, Fifth-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers patrolled in formation. Each of them had grown much larger than before, resembling medium-sized dogs, looking very fierce.
It turned out that after Uka surrendered these days, it passed on the Cultivate method it used to Zhou Qi.
Zhou Qi was very curious about the Cultivate method of the Antarctic Outer Realm from the previous era when he first obtained it, as there was no record of Cultivate methods in Uroboros's memory fragments.
So he carefully examined it. This Cultivate method was the Devouring Method, all of which were various visualization diagrams, and at the same time required a series of actions in conjunction with the visualization diagrams.
Each creature's visualization would give birth to actions suitable for its Physique. Through continuous practice and improvement, the body would begin to transform. During this process, the creature's appetite would greatly increase, its potential would be fully developed, and it could even complete a life leap.
Zhou Qi then passed these Devouring Cultivate Methods to the Nine-Order Army Ant Queen through a mental connection, starting to experiment with them primarily on the Fifth-Order Four Fiend Insect Soldiers.
It seemed the effect was indeed good. Not only did each Four Fiends Insect Soldiers' Physique increase significantly, but their life strength also increased by several tenths.
"Uka, I didn't expect this Devouring Method to be so effective, it's very good," Zhou Qi said with a satisfied smile.
"My Dominator, this is not only the effect of the Devouring Method, but mainly the high-energy substances contained in the tai sui meat, which greatly increased the evolution speed of these creatures," Uka respectfully lowered its head.
"Even in the previous era, this was equivalent to the flesh and blood of Titans. Even if it was not yet adult, it contained a large amount of indestructible matter and high-energy. Even a small piece was extremely rare and hard to come by."
Uka continued, its eyes also showing a fiery look for the tai sui meat.
Zhou Qi nodded silently and immediately gave an order to the Nine-Order Army Ant Queen to have its other dependents also begin Cultivating the Devouring Method.
The tai sui meat was supplied infinitely, as it would continuously grow by connecting to the earth veins and absorbing geothermal heat.
Then Zhou Qi opened the light screen, constantly watching the Evolution Points grow. At the current rate, it would probably take another day to accumulate 1 billion Evolution Points.
However, Zhou Qi couldn't wait another moment and directly ordered the slaughter of Yellow Mealworms in a cave.
Behind Zhou Qi, several one-meter-long Centipedes, "whoosh whoosh" rushed into the cave.
Soon, green smoke emerged from the cave, and Evolution Points soared rapidly.
Zhou Qi's eyes burned with desire. Should he put these dependents with large-scale killing capabilities into the tropical rainforest?
