Rise of the Zerg in the World of Gods

This time, Xu Luo used Mayflies to decompose the corpses of the Dragon Blood Warriors and the Burrowing Drake, obtaining a total of over 2 million evolution points, with the Burrowing Drake alone contributing 500,000.

In addition, he acquired 2,000 sets of damaged armor and weapons.

Although most were in poor condition, they could still be used after repair. Xu Luo couldn't use them himself, but he could sell them. Despite his Zerg suffering heavy losses - nearly all 5,000 Acid Zerg dead, 3,000 Mantis Zerg remaining, and less than 2,000 Beetle Zerg - these weapons and equipment somewhat compensated for the losses.

But this was just a small part. More importantly were the talents and genes Xu Luo had been longing for.

From the Dragon Blood Warriors, he obtained two talents: Dragon Scales and Robust Physique. Dragon Scales could be applied to Beetle Zerg to enhance their defense, while Robust Physique was directly fused with the Queen, benefiting all Zerg.

Robust Physique, as the name suggests, greatly increased the physical strength of the Zerg. Though the improvement seemed small, it applied to all Zerg, which was a significant boost.

The sub-dragon gene gave Xu Luo an unexpected surprise.

Mountain Shaker: Mantis Zerg + Dragon Gene, possessing powerful strength and considerable vitality, Silver Tier 6!

After obtaining the sub-dragon gene, he gained a new evolution direction for the Zerg, allowing Mantis Zerg to evolve into a more powerful species.

Although cultivating Silver-tier species was indeed costly, the benefits were equally enormous.

Others had various problems cultivating Silver species.

For Xu Luo, it was simple. As long as evolution points and faith power kept up, there were no other issues.

As for evolution points, his Divine Realm was now quite large, with various terrains and resources that could keep the Mayflies busy collecting for quite a while.

Moreover, after repeated enhancements, both Beetle Zerg and Mantis Zerg had become elite units.

Although they were at the bottom of the elite tier, not as powerful individually as Dragon Blood Warriors or Two-Headed Ogres, compared to before, they could easily take on three opponents each.

If they encountered Xiang Yang's goblins again, Mantis Zerg could dispatch them with a single strike.

Zhong Tianyue's Divine Realm lecture had ended, and the following time was for self-study. Xu Luo had just obtained new genes and planned to go back and evolve his Mantis Zerg first.

Moreover, having lost so many units this time, he needed to replenish them properly.

However, just as he reached the door, he saw a girl leaning against a motorcycle in the same spot as yesterday, though dressed differently.

"What? Still not giving up?" Xu Luo was curious. Compared to others, the Wang family was much more proactive.

Unfortunately, he had no intention of joining anyone else's faction.

Although he wouldn't foolishly shout "I am the elite!" like some chuunibyou, as a transmigrator with a system, as long as he lay low, he would only grow stronger. He couldn't say what would happen in the future, but it wouldn't be too bad. Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix - why should he join others and be exploited?

Don't talk about how others invested in you; the purpose of investment is only for future exploitation.

Moreover, he didn't need anyone's investment.

"You misunderstand!" Wang Xiaoling shook her head and smiled brightly at him.

"You defeated Xiang Xun. Our Wang family isn't that significant; we don't have the right to recruit you. But my father wants to meet you."

"This... doesn't seem quite right?" Xu Luo looked at her askance, unable to suppress a mischievous smile.

"Aren't we moving too fast? I'm not quite prepared."

"What's too fast? What aren't you prepared for?" Wang Xiaoling didn't react immediately.

After all, in her impression, Xu Luo was quite a serious person.

"Meeting the parents, of course. Our relationship hasn't progressed that quickly!" Xu Luo said, barely holding back his laughter.

"Ah!" Wang Xiaoling finally reacted, unable to suppress a scream. She made a motion as if to hit him but looked around and had to give up.

"I always thought you were quite upright. I didn't expect you to be such a bad boy." Wang Xiaoling couldn't help but roll her eyes. He looked like such a serious person; she didn't expect him to joke around.

However, thinking of the battle she had seen earlier, she was still very surprised. She hadn't expected Xu Luo to have so many units, and more importantly, to have a Silver Lord as a trump card.

"This invitation isn't my idea. My father wants to meet you. Won't you give him face?"

"Oh?" Xu Luo frowned.

Although he didn't want to join other factions, Wang Xiaoling's father, the head of the Wang family and a renowned businessman in Tianhai City, was personally inviting him. It wouldn't be good to not give face.

Not joining was one thing, not giving face was another.

There was no need to offend such a big shot unnecessarily.

"I'm just an ordinary high school student. Your father doesn't need to pay so much attention to me, right?"

"Well, I don't know about that." Wang Xiaoling put on an "I don't know anything" expression.

"Are you going or not? Just give me a definite answer so I can report back."

Xu Luo hesitated. He didn't want to deal with these behemoths, but he also didn't want to offend them.

No matter how much he could command in the World of Gods, in the real world, he was just an ordinary person. These powerful factions had many ways to deal with him if they wanted to.

Although there was the deterrence of the Education Department, he couldn't think this would make him completely safe.

Now that the invitation was made in person, it wouldn't be good to refuse.

"Alright then." Seeing Xu Luo nod, Wang Xiaoling's face broke into a bright smile.

"Get on."

"Where's your home?" Xu Luo casually asked as he got on the motorcycle and held the girl's waist.

Wang Xiaoling's body stiffened, then relaxed.

"Not far, just a few dozen miles, in the Suspended Layer."

"Suspended Layer?" Xu Luo clicked his tongue.

He now understood a lot about this world. He knew that although they had entered the interstellar era, habitable planets were still few, and the population had exploded. There were many more people on a single planet than before.

Take this ancestral planet, the origin of human civilization. The last published population count was 150 billion.

Buildings in the cities were very tall. Although ordinary people's homes weren't small, most could only choose lower floors.

Floors above 150 were called the Suspended Layer, generally the first choice for the wealthy.

Floors 100 to 150 were the Stratosphere Layer, preferred by social elites.

Floors 50 to 100 were ordinary houses, provided for common people, while below floor 50 was basically for the poor or social housing.

The higher the floor, the better the environment. Below the 100th floor, you basically couldn't see a ray of sunlight.

This was the world today.

A concrete jungle, with skyscrapers blocking out the sun. Only on high floors could you see sunlight.

As for living in a villa like in Xu Luo's original era? Dream on.

Even the Wang family didn't have that privilege.
