Chapter 352: Insect Queen’s Flaw
Liu Jie had returned.
Otherwise, a foodie like the Mother of Bloodbath would never be so passionate about breakfast.
As expected, when Lin Yuan got downstairs, he noticed that Liu Jie was carrying out the breakfast that he had just made in the kitchen.
Before Lin Yuan could even see what was for breakfast, just from the fragrance, he knew that Liu Jie had probably steamed some soup dumplings and also crab roe dumplings.
Lin Yuan originally thought he was already fast enough, but he realized that he was the last to arrive downstairs. Hu Quan was already happily waiting for the food.
From Hu Quan’s spiritual state and the completely jade-textured wooden shavings in the main hall, Lin Yuan could guess that Hu Quan had probably burned the entire night working again.
Wen Yu was helping out Liu Jie to serve the baskets of soup dumplings and crab roe dumplings on that completely jade-textured wooden dining table.
Before they could finish serving, the baskets were already stacked so high, however, no matter how many dumplings there were, it was probably not enough for the Mother of Bloodbath and Endless Summer.
Endless Summer was a Suzerain/Myth fey and required a lot of food, but it wasn’t especially passionate about food.
At present, Endless Summer was holding onto a small mirror and fiddling with its hair. Once it saw Lin Yuan coming down, it ran over and said, “Lin Yuan, the Star Web live-stream that you recommended to watch is truly brilliant! This is my first time knowing that color could give hair new life.”
Lin Yuan also revealed a handsome but puzzled expression. Didn’t I ask Endless Summer to watch the dressing combination? What has that got to do with the hair?
Since Endless Summer was so happy, Lin Yuan followed the topic and said, “Actually, there are times when a single color might not be as nice as imagined.”
Lan Baobao’s trump card, which he had never been exposed, was revealed during the duel with Liu Jie.
Liu Jie would have failed if he hadn’t made a prompt decision to use the Insect Queen’s Platinum ability to produce seven Hurricane Owlet Moths, allowing the moths to create a hurricane and control the duel.
This had allowed Liu Jie to realize that he wasn’t the only person that had improved. His previous comrades hadn’t stayed down like him for over three years and might have improved significantly.
At the same time, the duel with Sequence #30 Invisible Twine had allowed Liu Jie to feel his limitations in combat.
The limitation was the fact that Liu Jie could only contract with the Insect Queen. The Insect Queen had nearly taken up all of Liu Jie’s spiritual energy, so he couldn’t contract another fey or lifeform.
According to the Insect Queen’s trait, Liu Jie would never be able to form a contract with another fey or source-type lifeform in this life.
The Platinum Insect Queen was powerful as it could produce five types of insects.
There was an absolute advantage in numbers, allowing Liu Jie to be like an insect swarm on the battlefield. However, as Liu Jie got stronger, he encountered stronger opponents. As such, the problem with the Insect Queen slowly surfaced.
Among the five insect species feys that the Insect Queen used as its abilities, Liu Jie might be able to choose and use them to coordinate with each other flawlessly. However, apart from the Hurricane Owlet Moth, the four other insect species feys had relatively simple genetic models.
It simply meant that they were rather weak. There were times when numbers didn’t mean advantage.
When the numbers reached a standard, individual strength was also very important.
When the Insect Queen’s grade got higher, its abilities’ insect-species feys would get stronger as well. However, as compared to others who had multiple Fantasy Breed feys, Liu Jie would be inferior.
Therefore, this duel for the Radiance Hundred Sequence position had given Liu Jie no choice but to face his problem directly. Therefore, Liu Jie’s feelings had been rather heavy until now.
If this carried on, even if the Insect Queen evolved to the Diamond grade and added on another powerful insect species fey with a simple genetic model, it might increase Liu Jie’s combat strength, but it would never give Liu Jie a significant leap in strength.
