Immortality: Raising an Ant Queen to Cultivate by increasing stat points

As for the speculations and doubts of these people, Qin Niu simply ignored them.

“Who would dare talk about cheating in front of Master Hu? Afraid they’d be slapped across the face by Master Hu himself,” he thought.

Not long after, the female staff member nodded at Qin Niu with a smile.

“You’re all set now. Take this form to Master Hu. I wish you success in passing the two-star appraiser’s exam,” she said, and then ventured boldly, “May I ask if Master Qin is currently single? I have a younger sister who just reached marriageable age this year. She’s pretty and sweet-tempered, still waiting in her boudoir!”

Although the staff member didn’t put it bluntly, her intentions were quite clear.

She wanted to match her sister with Qin Niu as a good couple.

“Oh, okay!” he replied.

Qin Niu grabbed the form and fled in a panic.

He wasn’t afraid of wild wolves or beasts like Black Bears in the mountains, nor did he fear bullies like Wang Haikun.

But he still felt very shy when it came to the subject of marriage and courting.

He certainly wanted to marry a beautiful wife in his heart, but mentally, he wasn’t prepared for it at all.

City girls are truly bold, like bees spotting nectar when they find a boy with good prospects.

In the past, Qin Niu was worried about his family’s poverty and that he wouldn’t be able to find a wife.

Now it seems that as long as one has talent, there are plenty of beautiful girls in the city chasing after him.

And each one is a beautiful girl with a job and ambition.

Girls in the countryside tend to stay in attics or boudoirs.

Many city girls, on the other hand, take the initiative to find a decent job.

Although this world has strong sexist notions, women can still change their fate through hard work.

Not only can they engage in various jobs they’re competent in, but they can also practice martial arts just like men.

There are not a few talented girls who became strong practitioners through their training.

The Black Tiger Gang has many skilled female fighters.

Compared to the pervasive workplace harassment and unspoken rules of the modern world, female employees in this world feel safer.

Seeing Qin Niu actually scared away, everyone shook their heads and cursed him for being a fool.

It was obvious to everyone that he was just a poor country boy.

Now this female staff member of the Insect Master Association was willing to match him with her sister – that would be like a huge pie falling from the sky for any man.

A truly great stroke of luck.

And Qin Niu ran away from it; if that’s not foolish, what is?

Sparrows do not understand the ambitions of a swan.

In their eyes, it was a step down for the woman, practically giving herself away, but Qin Niu had his own dreams and aspirations – he would only consider marrying a top beauty like his neighbor Wang Wanyan.

Well-read and firm in her own views, with a kind heart.

He returned to the examination room and began to complete the certification for a two-star appraiser.

Master Hu flipped through a thick album of bee specimens until he reached the end, and then handed a long bee to Qin Niu for appraisal.

This bee had a long wasp waist and a tail abdomen as slender as a wolf’s.

Its smooth body surface had little hair, with a faint metallic sheen.

The whole body was tinged with a light green color.

The protruding stinger was strong and robust, like fine iron, reflecting a very strong metallic luster.

It was clearly capable of terrifying penetration.

If it stung someone’s body, it could easily penetrate clothing.

Even regular leather armor might struggle to withstand its attack.

Its body was black, yellow, and brown in color, but also covered in a layer of light green, which looked particularly strange.

Its thoracic hairs were short and tough; it had long legs that were also very developed.

Its limbs were as hard as iron feathers, and the muscles connecting to its wings were visibly strong and powerful.

Indicating its flight was incredibly swift.

Its oral apparatus was well-developed, with particularly thick mandibles, seemingly not weaker in biting force compared to the current Fourth.

It should have a body length of over two and a half inches.

Such length exceeds eight centimeters, a horrifying thought.

Held in hand, the specimen felt especially heavy and substantial.

Upon close observation, its body was etched with faint, fine, and clear lines.

These were naturally formed, not man-made engravings.

Qin Niu completed his appraisal of it and began to write.

Hymenoptera Vespidae, Green Demon Wasp, female, not fully developed, of the Worker Bee caste. The first batch of bee species cultivated by the Green Demon, with a lifespan of over 5 years. This wasp had an estimated lifespan of around 4 years and was killed in its prime by human hands. Possessing iron wings, its flight speed was extremely fast, able to outpace birds over short distances.

Its stinger was as hard as fine steel, easily penetrating ordinary leather armor, and devoid of barbs, with double poison sacs, indicating a severe toxicity.

Capable of repeatedly stinging its enemies.

Its developed oral apparatus likely had some armor-piercing effect.

All over its body were fine, regular etchings, forming a rune which latent conveyed the fundamental principles of nature and earth, though it was not yet perfected. The dark lines matched with the patterns on its iron wings, resembling hammers and drums, implying its special ability might involve disturbing its enemies with a demonic sound by flapping its wings.

The wasp’s weakness was its relatively fragile head, unable to withstand heavy blows.

Many bees have hard heads, but this wasp had a tougher abdomen and waist instead.

Like the Tiger-striped Ironclad Ant, it was likely to evolve an early-stage exoskeleton effect.

However, its evolution was incomplete, stopping at the waist region.

The breeding of every formidable insect species involved repetitive evolution and refinement, becoming stronger with each iteration.

Qin Niu had only read about this type of Green Demon Wasp in the Green Demon’s Bee Cultivation Records.

This moment was his first encounter with the real thing.

Somewhat weaker than he had imagined.

But looking at it from another angle, if the very first demonic bees bred by the Green Demon were already this strong, it would be quite normal for later special breeds to kill a city lord.

Just as with Qin Niu’s Termites, the first-generation Mighty Soldier Ants had evolved and transformed directly into Tiger-striped Ironclad Ants.

The enhancement in strength was truly terrifying.

A single Tiger-striped Ironclad Ant could easily slaughter hundreds of Mighty Soldier Ants.

Having seen the Green Demon’s first-generation demonic bee, Qin Niu’s anticipation for the Green Demon’s treasures grew even stronger.

Once his abilities were a bit more robust, he should be capable of retrieving them.

If he went now, he feared a single first-generation demonic bee could claim his life.

If only used for combat, bees were a very popular type of insect pet, stronger than centipedes, scorpions, or spiders.

Because they could merely crawl on the ground, whereas bees could fly outright.

In attacking the enemy, flying insects were the most terrifying.

Their mobility simply could not be matched by crawling insects.

“You actually know this is the first-generation demonic bee cultivated by the Green Demon. It seems your knowledge is many times more profound than 1 had imagined,” said Master Hu, who was particularly surprised after reviewing his answer.

He stored the bee volume carefully and then took out two more books.

These were of spiders and locusts.

Not choosing the Termite, Qin Niu’s specialty, was deliberately making things difficult for Qin Niu, wanting to see just how strong his insect appraisal skills really were.

“I’ll give you two more questions. If you answer as well as you did the previous one, you’ll pass the two-star certification,” he declared, then opened the spider volume and went directly to the later pages, picking a spider specimen..
