Chapter 6: Breeding a rhinoceros beetle clone, system activated!
The next day.

After receiving the information that the package containing the rhinoceros beetle had been delivered to the community, Lin Yiming hurried downstairs to the post station. Just like before the revival of spiritual energy, most express parcels are not delivered to the door, but will be placed at the station and need to be picked up by oneself.

Pick up the express package, go home, and open it with scissors.

There is a thick layer of soil in the square plastic box. A chestnut-brown, handsome-looking insect is working hard to push the soil beneath it with the horn on its head.

"You're really strong!"

Lin Yiming stretched out two fingers of his right hand to pinch the rhinoceros beetle. Stimulated by the outside world, the rhinoceros beetle began to struggle and twisted its body constantly.

The prerequisite for breeding a clone is to provide the genetic material of a certain creature. Looking at the hard shell and front and rear tibia of the rhinoceros beetle in his hand, Lin Yiming simply brought the entire rhinoceros beetle into the breeding space.

Isn't it to provide genetic material?
Then just provide the original body of the biological clone you are bred!
Simple and convenient!
In the gray gestation space, a cluster of light was suspended in the air, and the light wrapped around the body of the rhinoceros beetle.

Lin Yiming could feel that inside the ball of light, the rhinoceros beetle's body was being decomposed and its genetic material was being completely extracted. Then the ball of light turned into an oval cocoon, about the size of two fists.

On the surface of the cocoon there are mysterious rune-like marks, which are both enchanting and mysterious.

Suddenly, a mechanized system sound rang in his ears, startling Lin Yiming who was observing the light cocoon.

"It is detected that the host has completed the activation task, and the system is officially turned on."

"system?"

Listening to the mechanical sound beside his ears, Lin Yiming was ecstatic.

Ever since he traveled here three years ago, he has been looking forward to the awakening of the system all the time, so that he can soar into the sky and activate the halo of the protagonist. After all, this is a must-have for a time traveler!
Unfortunately, things did not go as he wished, and his system was not awakened successfully until today.

"My ability to 'grow clones' can evolve and upgrade. Is it because of the system?"

Lin Yiming understood instantly that it was not because of his special ability, but because of the existence of the system.

Otherwise, why can't other people who have awakened their "Avatar" abilities evolve and upgrade? At the same time, there has never been a record of superpowers being able to evolve and upgrade in the past three hundred years.

Lin Yiming's spiritual sense swept towards the cocoon of the rhinoceros beetle in the gestation space, and he obtained detailed gestation information.

[Breeding target]: Double-forked rhinoceros beetle
[Quality]: Ordinary

[Grease cycle]: 2 days/2 days

[Energy substances required for pregnancy]: None

"It only takes two days to breed successfully, and no additional energy supply is required. This should be because this rhinoceros beetle is just an ordinary creature."

"According to this growth rate, I can improve my physical qualities as much as possible before the college entrance examination. Now it depends on how much strength this rhinoceros beetle can bring me."

"But we should lower our expectations appropriately. After all, this rhinoceros beetle is just an ordinary creature on Earth. It is not a strange beast that has mutated due to spiritual energy, nor is it an evil beast from outside the domain."

Opening his eyes, Lin Yiming’s consciousness withdrew from the gestation space.

The creation of the rhinoceros beetle's clone did not require him to do anything extra. All he had to do now was wait quietly for success. At the same time, he began to study the system that had just been activated.

The system said coldly, 'Officially opened', and then fell silent.

If Lin Yiming had not been able to see the panel information of the light cocoon in the incubation space after activating the system, he would have suspected that he was hallucinating.

"system?"

no respond.

"Give me some more?"

no respond.

"Panel?" After trying dozens of times in a row, the system finally responded this time.

As Lin Yiming called out the "panel", a very simple numerical panel appeared in his mind, which only displayed:

[Energy matter: 0]

[Superpower potential level: F (0/10000)]

When the spiritual consciousness touches the displayed energy material, the relevant detailed instructions will also be revealed.

Energy Matter
"Attributes": The only currency in the system
[Source] After the host kills alien beasts and foreign evil tribes, the system will reward energy substances of corresponding values ​​according to the targets killed.
"Purpose": Provide nutrients for the biological clones being bred
Ability potential level
"Current Level": F (Potential level limits the strength of the biological clones that the host can breed)

"Current Experience Value": 0/10000 (The host can obtain corresponding experience value by successfully breeding a biological clone. When the experience value accumulates to a certain amount, the level of supernatural potential can be improved)
"Fortunately, nurturing a clone of a common creature like a rhinoceros beetle does not require energy or substances. Otherwise, with my current strength, I would probably only be killed if I were to face a strange beast or an evil tribe from outside the domain."

Looking at the description about energy substances, Lin Yiming let out a long sigh.

Obviously, the more powerful the clone of the creature being nurtured is, the more energy and matter it requires, which means that he must kill enough alien beasts or evil creatures from outside the domain.

The relationship between them is inseparable and complementary.

"Don't think too much about it for now. At this stage, the main thing is to improve your physical fitness as quickly as possible, and then get a good score in the college entrance examination, so that the right to choose is in your own hands."

It takes two days to grow a rhinoceros beetle clone. During these two days, Lin Yiming still lives his usual life.

Writing, training in a martial arts gym, tutoring at night.
Night tutoring is naturally formal tutoring!
Tutoring students from well-off families is Lin Yiming's main source of income. As he excels in both academic and physical education classes, the fees he charges as a tutor are not cheap.

Because it is indeed effective, the parents of these students are also willing to pay, which is similar to the world Lin Yiming was in before.

In the gestational space.

"The rhinoceros beetle's clone is finally going to be bred successfully!" Lin Yiming said excitedly.

[Growth cycle]: 35 seconds/2 days

On the cocoon emitting flowing light, the seconds displayed on the gestation period are constantly decreasing. The flow rate of time is the same as that in the outside world, with no difference.

When the seconds displayed above become 0.

"Crack."

"Crack."

"."

A series of subtle shattering sounds were heard, and cracks appeared on the oval cocoon. As time passed, the cracks became more and more numerous, and soon covered the entire surface of the cocoon.

Lin Yiming stared closely, afraid of missing anything.

"Pop."

It was the sound of cocoon shells breaking and falling to the ground, one after another.

"The size of the Rhinoceros Beetle clone has grown dozens of times. Could it be that it has mutated into a strange beast?"

Looking at the rhinoceros beetle emerging from its cocoon, Lin Yiming was shocked.

After the revival of spiritual energy, some creatures on Earth, besides humans, were also affected by it and evolved and mutated.

Some of them have grown several times in size, some have grown extra organs, and some have the ability to spit fire and discharge electricity. These evolved and mutated creatures are also called alien beasts.

So when Lin Yiming saw the rhinoceros beetle emerging from its cocoon and its size had increased by dozens of times, he thought that the rhinoceros beetle had mutated into a strange beast.
