Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Chapter 171 - 171: Chaotic Evolution

It sat there, all innocent, between 'Quiet Flight I' and 'Perfect Swarm Coordination', taking the place of someone I could've actually considered taking.

It was 'Chaotic Evolution I'. A gene that had a 5% chance to give my daughters a random tier V gene.

"Alright, that 'Quiet Flight' will be a real asset for the Beehounds. So unless you have good arguments why we need swarm coordination more, although our swarms seem to be fine already, I will pick it—"

"Father, wait," Worriesgone interrupted me. "But what about the third gene? You didn't even consider it, although it looks good to me. Like free four tiers of genes!"

Re

I could argue that the Council said nothing about genes besides 'Chaotic Evolution I', but I could tell that even Bloodhero wanted to see this gene in action.

And Things-Things was right. I was worrying too much.

"Chaotic evolution it is. But relaying it to my little princesses will wait until I heal fully. And then some more…"

With all the new colonies, keeping the Empire's genes all up to date took more and more blood. But as long as the Bee Empire wasn't destroyed by humans or hornets, I could donate this blood without hurry.

Compared to genes, updating morphotypes was a straightforward task. All morphotypes got the 'Slow-Twitch Muscles' for extra stamina. Beemarines now reached the 15th tier of venom potency for 750% damage bonus (they still needed more gene points). Beehounds got 5th tier of 'Thick Skin'.

Meanwhile, even with 'Reduced Sleep I' and 'Slow-Twitch Muscles' as extra genes in my personal morphotype, I reached 30st, the maximum tier of venom potency gene!

〔Increased Venom Potency XXX (MAX): increases damage of venom by 32000%.〕

The sting of 320 regular bees! Enough to kill a human with a single strike!

The numbers were insane. The last five tiers added me 5000% each.

Then I put the remaining point into the next tier of detachable stinger.

〔Detachable Stinger III: allows stingers of bees to be detached from the body without a trauma. Lost stingers regrow based on regeneration speed.〕

The description was vague, and the system was of no help, so I assumed it was better than before. The previous tier said, "slowly regrow", after all.

By then, the Council had lasted long enough that we all took a lunch break.

"The genes will definitely help with the diplomacy, at least the ones in my personal morphotype. But the *real* preparations will have to be done with our—alright, mostly your—hands. Researchina, I have a special task for you."
