Starting with summoning the succubus

"I am willing!"

Finally, Qi Lin raised his hand.

"Is there no one else?"

Ye Sen confirmed it again, then nodded gently: "Okay, in that case, it's you, Qi Lin. Since you're the only one who applied, there's no need for an interview. You're accepted. Come to the lab tonight at 11:30. I'll take care of the dorm manager and security."

"Thank you, teacher!"

Qi Lin immediately beamed with joy.

If he can get into the lab, his monster-hunting plan will be half successful!

"Okay, class is now in session."

Ye Sen picked up the textbook and turned on the multimedia screen, displaying a picture of a female centaur.

"Let's continue with the Centaur chapter that we didn't finish last time. Aren't you all curious about whether the baby is inside a human or a horse when a centaur is pregnant? Listen carefully in this lesson, and you'll understand naturally."

Chapter 15: The Queen of the Noctilucent Bugs, Massive Experience Points!

It was 11:20 PM.

Qi Lin left dormitory building number 7 and walked along the quiet campus path late at night.

When school ended in the afternoon, he and Elena had already settled on their double dorm room: room 7603, the third room on the sixth floor of dormitory building number ⑦. It was a very spacious dorm room with two bunk beds and desks underneath, and most importantly, a private bathroom!

Elena was very happy with her new place. After dinner and a shower, she fell fast asleep.

Qi Lin returned to his rented apartment, packed his old belongings and moved them in, then contacted the landlord to cancel the lease—as expected, he couldn't get his deposit back, but it didn't matter.

After he finished unpacking his luggage in the dormitory, it was almost 11 p.m.

So at this moment, Qi Lin was heading to Ye Sen's biological laboratory.

Just as Ye Sen said in class, he had already made arrangements with the dormitory manager and security guards. Qi Lin had no trouble passing through. The security guards all let him through after seeing his school card.

Soon, the brightly lit biology lab came into view.

"Bang bang."

Qi Lin knocked on the door. "Teacher? I'm here."

"Just come in, the door's unlocked."

Ye Sen's voice came from inside: "Oh, and you didn't bring any food or drink with you, did you? No food is allowed in the lab."

"clear."

Qi Lin pushed open the door and entered.

green.

The first thing that catches the eye is a lush green landscape.

This laboratory is filled with flowers, plants, and green trees, and is full of the fragrance of grass and trees. It is completely different from the pungent smell of a chemical laboratory. The smell here is very comfortable and refreshing.

At this moment, Ye Sen, wearing a bear-patterned pajama, was squatting on the edge of a fenced-off piece of land, grinning foolishly.

Qi Lin approached and took a closer look.

The soil was teeming with ant-like insects burrowing into the ground, their bodies emitting a faint blue fluorescence. They were so numerous that a rough count suggested there were at least hundreds or even thousands of them. And who knows how deep the soil was, or how many more insects were hidden beneath the surface?

In this land, there is a small mound, on which lies a distinctly different white individual.

The other insects are similar to ants, with similar body size and color.

This white individual, however, was as fat as a caterpillar, about the thickness of a thumb, dozens of times larger than the other insects, and it did not emit light.

"These are bioluminescent crickets."

Ye Sen stretched out his finger and gently stroked the fattest white individual. "That is the Queen, the leader of the entire Glowing Insect Hive. She not only undertakes the work of reproduction in the colony, but also in charge of command. Never anger her, otherwise the acid she sprays contains magic and is enough to burn through your skin..."

At this point, Ye Sen turned to look at Qi Lin, then pointed to a red button on the wall not far away and said, "That's the alarm button. If you're attacked by the Queen Insect, press it and I'll come over to treat you immediately."

"I've got it."

Qi Lin nodded seriously.

"Okay, go put on your gloves and get the tweezers."

Ye Sen pointed to the workbench not far away: "I'll tell you some basic knowledge about bioluminescent insects now. Once the queen starts to reproduce, I'll teach you how to artificially extract the eggs... In fact, this queen has a genetic defect and extremely low intelligence. Even her instinctive behavior is affected, which means she can't even lay eggs on her own. That's why we need to assist her."

Qi Lin immediately did as instructed.

After he returned, Ye Sen began his explanation:

"The Ivycent Leinster Bug, or 'Noctiluca Bug' for short, comes from the 'Ivycent World' and is a magical supernatural creature."

Young bioluminescent worms are zero-tier creatures, possessing only a faint amount of magic power, practically negligible. Ordinary humans can easily crush them using their size and strength, as easily as squashing an ant.

Adult Noctiluca scintillans and Noctiluca scintillans are defined as peak Tier 0 creatures, but due to their slow movement speed and limited attack methods, such as spraying acid containing magic power, their actual level of danger is quite low.

However, the Noctiluca scintillans may mutate into the Noctiluca moth—a giant moth the size of an eagle. At this point, the Noctiluca moth would be a first-order extraordinary creature.

Normally, the probability of such a mutation is very small.

But Qi Lin, if you are so unlucky as to encounter this, you must calm down and remain still.

Due to its unique eye structure and magical circuits, the Noctiluca scintillans's brain automatically ignores stationary objects. In a sense, as long as you remain still, it won't see you and therefore won't attack you. When it turns its back to you, you can launch an attack... uh, no, that's not right.

You are a level zero demon wielder, not yet at level one, and currently have almost no ability to fight independently.

At this point, Ye Sen thought for a moment and said, "If possible, you can bring your succubus to work here in the future. Of course, the pay will not be doubled; it will still be 2000 per month."

"clear."

Qi Lin nodded.

"Now, let's wait quietly."

Ye Sen glanced at the clock on the wall. "It should be soon before the Queen starts reproducing."

……

Half an hour later, the Noctiluca scintillans finally began to reproduce.

Under Ye Sen's guidance, Qi Lin, holding tweezers, began to artificially collect eggs from the Noctiluca scintillans.

After collecting more than a dozen eggs, he accidentally used too much force and crushed a translucent insect egg with the tweezers, splitting the bioluminescent larva inside in two.

You have killed an Ivicent Leinster Bug (Tier 0), experience +1.

Experience points: 13/300

Perfect!!!

Qi Lin lowered his head, forcibly suppressing the joy in his heart, pursing his lips to prevent himself from laughing out loud.

When he first started killing Purple Armored Mantises and Boneless Fish, he discovered that the experience points gained from killing monsters did not seem to depend on size, but only on health level. No matter how big the size difference was between a level 0 Purple Armored Mantis and a Boneless Fish, the experience points they provided were the same.

And at this moment, this dead bioluminescent larva completely proves this point.

Even if the larva hasn't even crawled out of the egg yet, as long as it's a zero-level creature from another world, it can provide Qi Lin with 1 experience point!

By killing 287 more glowing larvae, Qi Lin can upgrade his stats again, raising his Spirit Power from 7 stars to 8 stars!

The queen of the bioluminescent beetle can lay thousands of eggs in a single night...

What is a monster-farming area?

This biological laboratory is the perfect place to grind monsters!

"Hey, lift your head, there's nothing to be discouraged about."

At this moment, Ye Sen patted Qi Lin, who was looking down, and thought he was dejected because of his mistake. He smiled and comforted him, "Killing a larva is no big deal. In fact, one of your job duties is to clean up larvae."

As you can see, my lab isn't very big, and this potting mix is pitifully small, so it can't hold many larvae.

Moreover, my experimental project doesn't actually require that many larvae.

That's why you have to kill some of the eggs every night to ensure that the queen's breeding environment isn't too crowded.

"To kill the insects, follow the ratio of 'take ten, kill seven.' For every ten insect eggs collected, kill seven. Also, collect the dead eggs and put them in the 'dead insect recycling bin,' understand?"

"understood."

Qi Lin raised his head and nodded seriously.

Of course he understands.

He had long heard that Ye Sen's biological cultivation experiments required manual control of the number of insects due to insufficient laboratory space. When not using so many experimental targets, some insects had to be killed manually.

That's precisely why he was so eager to become Ye Sen's apprentice.

"Okay, let's get back to work. I'm going back now. You can leave after the queen stops reproducing, around 1 a.m. She's very punctual. Remember to put your tools away, turn off the lights, and lock the door when you leave. The key is on the table next to me."

After Ye Sen finished speaking, he left the laboratory.

"Understood, teacher, take care."

Qi Lin watched the other person leave.

Then, he looked at the potting soil, stretched out his tweezers, and popped an insect egg.

"Splat".

You have killed an Ivicent Leinster Bug (Tier 0), experience +1.

Experience points: 14/300

"hey-hey."
