C127 – Leveling up the Insect Controlling Arts

Jiang Hao felt a twinge of disappointment.

Yet, when he invested a skill point to elevate his Insect Controlling Arts to level two, he witnessed a remarkable transformation. The upgraded ability allowed him to summon a swarm of one hundred insects, and not just mosquitoes—now there was an array of various small bugs at his command! These tiny creatures might seem insignificant, but they could prove to be surprisingly effective. Imagine the havoc he could wreak with venomous insects at his beck and call!

Insect Controlling Arts Level 2 (0/10): Command legions of insects, bend thousands to your will!

“Level 2 is already this formidable; what wonders will Level 3 hold?” Jiang Hao mused, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

“System, use ten skill points to upgrade Insect Controlling Arts to the third level,” he instructed.

“Ding! Insect Controlling Arts successfully upgraded to Level 3!”

Insect Controlling Arts Level 3 (0/100): Command legions of insects, bend thousands to your will!

As the skill ascended to the third tier, a surge of information flowed directly into Jiang Hao’s mind. Grasping the new knowledge, a broad grin spread across his face. True to his expectations, the third-level Insect Controlling Arts didn’t just multiply the number of insects he could control by tenfold; the variety had expanded significantly. He could now even command venomous bugs! Anyone foolish enough to cross him could meet a stealthy, traceless demise.

Elated by the thought, Jiang Hao was reveling in his newfound power when his mother’s voice pierced through his reverie.

“Hao, time for dinner!”

“Coming!” he replied.

Putting aside his eagerness to test the third-level Insect Controlling Arts, he headed out to join his family for the meal.

......

“A mutated cabbage seed?”

“It grows incredibly fast and improves beauty when eaten?”

Once it clicked, Jiang Hao’s face lit up with joy.

“Wow, my system is incredible!”

“Retrieve!”

Immediately after Jiang Hao spoke, a tiny purple speck, no bigger than an ant, appeared in his palm.

He carefully preserved the seed and then turned his gaze to the assortment of vegetables in the nearby basket, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

“If decomposing a cabbage yields a mutated seed, what about the other veggies?”

With that thought, Jiang Hao snatched up a red chili pepper.

Right on cue, the system’s notification chimed in.

“Ding... A red chili pepper detected. Would you like to decompose it?”

As the prompt echoed, a grin spread across Jiang Hao’s face.

“Decompose!”

Jiang Hao declared, without a moment’s delay.
