Chapter 2: The Holy Light Bug Hatches!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

[Ding! Congratulations to the lord for successfully purchasing the starter pack!]

Following that announcement, Su Hao saw a golden light appear in front of him.

It then disappeared just as quickly as it appeared.

A Holy Light Bug appeared in front of Su Hao.

It was about three centimeters long, with two yellow wings shaped like water ladles on its back. Its head was black and it had six legs under its body, making it look like an enlarged version of a seven-spot ladybird.

The Holy Light Bug flapped its wings and chirped after flying in front of Su Hao.

In Su Hao’s field of vision, the Holy Light Bug’s information panel appeared.

[SS-Grade Holy Light Bug]

[Current growth state: Larva]

[Characteristics: infinite devouring, infinite splitting!]

[Loyalty: 100]

Su Hao’s pupils contracted slightly as soon as he saw that, because he knew the exact significance of the words ‘infinite devouring’ and ‘infinite division’.

In fact, a single larva of an SS-Grade Holy Light Bug was not that strong, but that changed once they had the ability to devour and divide infinitely.

In other words, his Holy Light Bugs could bring about a plague to the black fog through that infinite division!

The densely packed Holy Light Bugs that blotted out the sky would then sweep across the entire continent!

That was the true power of a bug. Rather than relying on individual strength to achieve success, they relied on their strength in numbers as they devoured everything in the blink of an eye.

If the Holy Light Bugs entered the darkness, they would devour and evolve on their own.

When the time was up, countless holy light bug tribes would return.

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, tens of millions!

Even tens of billions!

Thinking of this, Su Hao immediately commanded the Holy Light Bug to fly toward the wood chips. After the Holy Light Bug quickly devoured the wood chips, it split into two in front of Su Hao’s eyes.

The two Holy Light Bugs continued to devour the wood chips. They split into four, then eight, then 16!

In just 10 minutes, all the wood shavings in the warehouse had been devoured, and in the meantime, the Holy Light Bugs had divided into several thousand!

After seeing the thousands of Holy Light Bugs in front of him, Su Hao immediately thought of the locust plagues seen in many movies. WIthout a natural enemy, the Holy Light Bugs in this lord world would become as densely plagued and sky-covering like a locust plague.

At the same time, Su Hao immediately commanded those thousands of Holy Light Bugs to fly out of his territory and disappear into the darkness outside.

After all, Su Hao’s resources as a lord were limited, and he could not use his own resources to cultivate his swarm of bugs.

The bugs could still be handled if they were small in number, but no lord would be able to bear the cost if the number increased exponentially.

At that moment, Su Hao noticed a glowing exclamation mark at the bottom left corner of his vision.

He knew that it was the menu.

He stretched out his hand and tapped it, whereupon a horizontal list appeared in his field of vision.

[Personal Information], [Friend Messages], [World Chat Channel], [Trading Channel], and so on.

He could click on all the menus.

Su Hao opened his personal information first.

[Castle Lord: Su Hao]

[Strength: Level Zero]

[Castle Level: Basic Castle]

[Castle Troop Type: Holy Light Bug (unique troop type)]

[Castle Building: none]

[Equipment: Wood x 10 units, Stone x 10 units, Coal x 1 ton]

[Gold Coins: 0]

[Energy Stones: 0]

[Mutant Crystals: 0]

Su Hao could see from the information that his current strength was zero.

He was weak compared to those creatures from the dark.

The number of energy stones and mutant crystals on the panel was zero too.

After his rebirth, he knew very well that those two things were necessary to have the castle level up.

Varying amounts of energy stones could be obtained as long as they killed wild monsters, magical beasts, troops, or seized the castles of other lords.

Killing powerful monsters could provide an opportunity to obtain mutant crystals.

That was why he had released his Holy Light Bug.

Furthermore, his money was zero.

In the two months that the lords were opened up to the outside, gold coins had no use at all.

However, as someone who had been reincarnated in it, Su Hao knew that gold coins were extremely valuable!

Besides, he had also awakened the in-game pay-to-win talent, but even if he did not, he would still use those two months to accumulate as many gold coins as he could!

The reason he did that was because none of the lords realized the importance of gold coins in the first two months!

And two months later, the lord world will open for business!

All lords could use gold coins to buy blueprints for upgrading castles, expanding territories, even upgrading fortifications and buying materials!

Su Hao had missed those two golden months In his previous life, which led him to be very tight on money.

Given the chance to redo it again, he was going to make use of that information gap to purchase gold coins from the other lords!

The current lords viewed gold coins as useless, so if they used materials to exchange for gold coins, they would definitely be able to sell them for an excess value.

In his previous life, a stack of wood was worth about five silver coins, the price of which never exceeded seven silver coins even when there was short supply later on. However, Su Hao was prepared to sell wood in the trading market for 50 gold coins a stack when that happened!

That was 100 times the price difference!

At the same time, this meant that the quantity and quality of Su Hao’s resources would far exceed everyone else’s!

Then, a chat message popped up in the [World Chat Channel] and attracted Su Hao’s attention.

[Eternal darkness is just outside the castle! I’ve sent my troops out on an expedition, but they’re unable to come back now! Do not step out of the castle! Remember, don’t go out!]

[All of my militia went out to collect oil but were killed after encountering a large group of wild beasts! All that’s left in the castle is a pile of useless gold coins…]

[I sent 10 of my troops out to gather wood, but a level one Black Panther killed them…]

[Aghh! There’s a bunch of flying beasts soaring above my castle! They must be targeting me!]

[All I needed was 10 stacks of wood to build my sword tower! But I don’t have anything else to exchange for other than gold coins… Can anyone be kind enough to lend me some wood? I’ll do anything for you!]

[Damn! A giant python is sniffing around in the dark! I can see it! What should I do?]

[You’re not the only one. I’m at the end of the road here. A giant lizard is climbing on my castle wall. My death is all but certain…]

The world outside the castle was still as dangerous as ever.

The power of darkness was filled with danger and the unknown.

Su Hao could also understand the dire straits those other lords were in after reading the comments.

They lacked resources, but they were rich in gold.

As for Su Hao, he only needed to exchange materials with them for gold coins. During that period, he would hoard a large amount of gold coins to ensure that he would have an endless supply when business starts in two months.

At the same time, as soon as the Holy Light Bugs left the castle, they flapped their wings and glowed with a golden light in the dark.

In the dense forest, three huge Black Panthers were running towards them at high speed.

The Black Panther was three meters tall!

They opened their mouths wide and bit down on the Holy Light bug!

In the blink of an eye, the three black Panthers were completely devoured by the thousands of sacred light bugs.

[Killed a level one Black Panther, Energy +5]

[Killed a level one Black Panther, Energy +5]

[Killed a level one Black Panther. Energy +5, Energy Stone +1.]

Su Hao could feel three bursts of energy. He lowered his eyes slightly and then took a sip of tea.

The SS-Class Holy Light Bugs did not disappoint him at all.

A total of 15 points of energy were flowing within Su Hao’s body.

He knew long ago that he did not have to do anything to receive the same benefits that could increase his strength and level. What’s important was that his troops killed the ‘enemy’.

At the same time, the bugs doubled in number after they devoured the three black Panthers!

Then, the Black Panther’s corpse appeared in the castle.

A sentence appeared before Su Hao when saw the Black Panther’s body.

[Monster corpse discovered. Would you like to collect it?]

[Yes/No]

“Yes!”

[Collection successful!]

[20 units of panther meat obtained!]

[You received a complete panther skin!]

In the world chat channel, one lord had sent more than ten civilians out to collect food, but they were all killed by the level one Black Panther.

Su Hao, on the other hand, glanced indifferently at the panther meat and supplies in the warehouse before drinking his tea.
