Low Dimensional Game-Chapter 19 - Ant-people Helpers

In basement two of the dimensional castle, Lu Zhiyu stood before a huge beehive-like thing. He felt somewhat shorthanded after beginning to carry out his plan.

Therefore, he immediately took out the smallest insect nest from the painting space and placed it in basement two. Since Lu Zhiyu was not a queen ant, he did not have the mental ability to control all the insects and be the superior ruler in terms of genes.

Lu Zhiyu’s mental talent was information transmittance. That is, he could transmit a huge amount of information through his mind power, which not everyone could. Every individual who had entered the zero-dimensional Inner Space would have his mental talent awakened. Lu Zhiyu only discovered this after observing the queen insect.

His talent was different from the queen insect’s. If an ordinary insect had not entered the zero-dimensional world, but only had its consciousness awakened by extracting Source Form, its mind power would only act as a special sensory organ. It would not be able to transmit information, or sense and modify genetic information like what Lu Zhiyu had done. Only being such as Lu Zhiyu and the queen insect who had entered the zero-dimensional world before could do such things.

In addition, there was a great difference between the mental talent of the queen insect and that of Lu Zhiyu. Lu Zhiyu named the queen insect’s mental talent as insect control, and his as information transmission. Although he could not control all the insects like the queen insect, he could still create and control part of the insects via the nest.

A species like insects would only be scary with a queen. Without a queen insect, the ordinary insects would pose no threat to Lu Zhiyu, because they were not intelligent at all and would only carry out their given duties mindlessly, from the time they were born until the day they died. This was the life of the ordinary insects.

As long as Lu Zhiyu had control over the nest, he could make changes to the pheromones when he created insects. In this way, he could create the types of soldiers he wanted, and they would take orders from him.

However, Lu Zhiyu was not a queen insect, and the nest was also partially damaged. Therefore, he clearly could not create insects endlessly like the queen insect. At the very most, he could create only a few insect servants.

Moreover, Lu Zhiyu did not think very highly of the insects as they had such a low intelligence. Those races with high intelligences would contain a large amount of Source Form. Among the insects, there was a significant polarization between the ordinary insects and the queen insect. However, beings such as the queen insect were too terrifying for him to have.

After activating the nest, Lu Zhiyu could see that the nest devoured at once the compounds which he had placed within it. After a short while, many black slimy balls were born from the nest and they struggled to approach Lu Zhiyu.

They looked like aliens; they had black shells, slender bodies, big heads and eyes, and antennas on their heads. These were the ant-people created by Lu Zhiyu!

This second generation nest was very powerful and these insects that had just been created were all already mature. At the moment they were born, they could go straight to the battlefield and become continuous consumables.

The ant-people popped into existence one after another. Very soon, Lu Zhiyu saw thirty to forty ant-people, each almost two meters tall, stand before him. They knelt down on the floor to receive orders from him.

Using his mind power, Lu Zhiyu could not sense any four-dimensional waves. These ant-people had extremely low intelligences and almost no self-awareness. They would only act according to the instructions given to them by the queen insect.

At the moment, Lu Zhiyu became their highest commander. Of course, should the queen insect of the nest appear, it would be able to take control of the ant-people right away.

With his mind power, Lu Zhiyu injected various tasks, processes, and precautionary measures into the brains of the ant-people. Then, they started to line up and walked out from the basement in an orderly manner.

They acted according to the tasks given to them by Lu Zhiyu. Some were in charge of cleaning up the place, while others were in charge of construction. Every ant-person had its own task to carry out.

Lu Zhiyu heaved a sigh of relief. With the help of these ant-people, he would be relieved of many tasks, allowing him to then carry out his plan accordingly.

With the creation of the 40 ant-people, the internal energy of the nest had been totally depleted and it stopped working again. Then, Lu Zhiyu walked out from the basement as well. Also, he locked the metal gate outside basement two; the thing inside was really too dangerous.

With the ant-people, the castle looked somewhat more lively. They moved around, busying themselves with their tasks. They tidied up and decorated the castle, and created many furnitures and utensils. Before long, the once empty castle was filled up with things.

The resting area was on the third level. The shelves in the library here had been constructed, but they were still empty. Lu Zhiyu planned to fill them up with books gradually in the future.

At the moment, Lu Zhiyu was at the back of the library which could be reached by walking along the corridor outside. He was sitting on a wooden chair, reading a book. Suddenly, an ant-person appeared, and Lu Zhiyu quickly stood up.

Although the ant-person did not say a word, Lu Zhiyu knew from the four-dimensional wave released from its antennas that the constructions in the castle had been completed. In particular, the prison at level one and the laboratory at level four had been built.

Lu Zhiyu first went to level four to take a look at the laboratory, after which he walked to level one to inspect the prison. At the end of the stone prison, there was an area that looked like a huge altar.

On the floor, there was a picture of the channelling array for the dimensional door. However, Lu Zhiyu was already more experienced now. Even without the array, he could still carve it out with his mind power.

The altar was surrounded by the prison gates and looked like a special prison cell. This was a special transmission formation that Lu Zhiyu had prepared to capture the beasts in Maria’s World. He stood on the altar with two ant-people, and when the doors of the cell were closed, they disappeared together from the altar.

Lu Zhiyu appeared on top of a hillside. Behind him, there was a big stretch of forest, while at the foot of the hill there was a vast prairie. A large river flowed mightily from the valley below his feet into the distance.

Many animals were drinking by the side of the river. Birds were chirping in the woods, and as a goshawk flew past, the rabbits in the grass hurriedly ran away. Lu Zhiyu could see numerous familiar species, many of which had been brought into the world by him earlier. There were also some that he could not recognize. In this large piece of land, many species had evolved into new ones as they adapted to the different environment over many centuries.

Herds of sheep and cattles were moving on the prairie, while wolves and jackals were hunting for their prey. The blue sky was embedded with white clouds, and there was a high concentration of oxygen in the air. The entire world seemed to be uncivilized and yet full of vitality.

Lu Zhiyu and the ant-people went downhill to the river. The animals quickly ran away, looking strangely at the two-legged monster with weird clothings before them.

Lu Zhiyu stepped into the river and looked at the fish in the clear water. Then, he lifted up his head and grinned. “This is Maria’s World!”
