Meanwhile, Elena and the boys had already begun to enjoy their meal.

Song Junda thought charcoal grilling was too slow, so he tried to speed up the grilling process by making fireballs with his hands. As a result, he burned all the chicken legs, which made Louisa very angry. She grabbed his ear and scolded him.

"Hey!"

Qi Lin covered Elena's greasy mouth with his left hand, held the last roasted chicken leg in his right hand, and looked at Lu Tingxue with a smile, "Come and eat, or Elena and Junda, those two gluttons, will eat it all up."

"Uh-huh!"

Lu Tingxue smiled and casually tied up her shoulder-length black hair with the blue hair tie on her wrist. Then she sat down next to Qi Lin and took the chicken leg.

"We'll have to wait a bit longer for the second batch of chicken legs. Let's eat hot dogs for now; they cook quickly."

Louisa took out a dozen raw chicken legs and placed them on the grill, then pointed to the hot dogs that had already been grilled next to her and said...

"Let me try Fireball again!"

Song Junda rolled up his sleeves, stared at the dozen or so raw chicken legs, and confidently stretched out his right hand, flames igniting at his fingertips: "I've found the trick, this time I'm sure..."

Shut up!

Louisa shoved a hot dog into his mouth.

"Ouch—it's so hot!!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

……

Time flew by amidst laughter and joy.

Two hours later.

Under the clear night sky, the meteor shower did not disappoint everyone's expectations and arrived as scheduled.

Countless meteors streaked across the night sky like raindrops, passing beside the myriad stars, as if carrying their dazzling light and people's wishes to that unknown other side of the starry sky.

"Quick, quick, make a wish!"

"I heard that taking a photo with a meteor shower after making a wish is the most effective way to make it come true!"

"We're going to start filming in ten seconds!"

Song Junda rushed to the side, quickly set up the camera, set the shooting time, and then hurriedly ran back to the group and put on his sunglasses.

Qi Lin and the others quickly got into position.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"Crack!"

The moment filming began, Chen Zhao jumped up, smiling as he stretched his limbs, forming a starfish shape in mid-air.

Jeffrey does a handstand with one hand, striking a street dance pose.

Song Junda faced the camera sideways, holding a bottle of cocktail in front of his chest with his left hand, pushing up his sunglasses with his right hand, and biting his lip in a greasy manner.

Louisa put her arms around Lu Tingxue and Irene's shoulders, grinning and making two peace signs, but just then she blinked, and the moment her eyes were closed was captured on camera...

Lu Tingxue tilted her head and smiled faintly.

Elena was still looking up at the meteor shower.

Qi Lin stood in the middle, gave a thumbs-up, and smiled broadly.

A slightly imperfect group photo of the seven of us brought our hiking and camping trip together to a perfect close.

Chapter 50 The Queen Insect Mutation: The Glowing Giant Moth!

“Camorkel, Ur, Lodafmi…”

Five days later.

11:48 PM.

Shuguang Third Hospital, Biological Laboratory.

Qi Lin sat on the rattan chair, his expression serious and focused. He kept chanting in demonic language, his hands glowing with purple light as he continuously consumed magic power, trying to condense a purple magic seal.

However, he tried several times in succession, but all of them ended in failure. The magic seal collapsed halfway before it could be fully formed.

This is the "Demon Devouring Spell," a highly difficult spell.

Qi Lin's mental and magical strength have already reached the first tier, 9 stars. As long as he can master the release of the "Demon Devouring Technique", he can try to advance to the second tier... It's just a pity that he still needs a lot of practice time before that day.

"Take your time."

After his last attempt failed, Qi Lin stopped dwelling on it and calmed down.

A balance between work and rest is essential for achieving the best learning efficiency.

The winter camp starts in 3 days. At his current pace, it's unlikely he'll advance to the second tier before the camp begins. So, let's just let things take their course.

"You're getting fatter and fatter."

Qi Lin looked at the insect nest and poked the chubby glowing queen with his index finger.

Since being fed demonic power by Lu Tingxue, the queen insect's size has been growing day by day. A few days ago, it could be described as being a few fingers thick, but now, the queen insect's size is equivalent to a baby's forearm. If it were thrown into a school, it would be enough to scare a bunch of junior girls into tears.

According to Ye Sen, this glowing insect queen has absorbed so much demonic power that its mutation rate is now far higher than before. There is a high probability that it will suddenly mutate into a glowing giant moth one night.

Ye Sen had reminded Qi Lin several times to be more careful.

But that's all there is to it.

After all, times have changed. For Qi Lin now, a first-tier Night-Shining Giant Moth is no threat at all; a single lightning spear can easily shatter it.

The problem is that the number of eggs laid by the giant scintillans moth is far less than that of the queen scintillans, and it does not lay eggs until the mating season, unlike the queen scintillans, who does nothing but eat and work all day, and then lays eggs.

So, if the queen insect really mutates, Ye Sen and Qi Lin will be devastated.

Ye Sen cried because if that happened, the experiment would have to be abandoned. A queen insect costs around 300,000 yuan on the market, which is not something a college teacher like him can easily afford to buy again.

Qi Lin cried because that would mean he wouldn't get any experience points...

Speaking of experience, including the two days before the camping trip, he accumulated more than 5,000 experience points in the past seven days, leveled up twice, and gained 2 attribute points. According to the previously planned scheme, he added all of them to [Defense].

Now, his attribute panel looks like this:

[Defense: Tier 0, 7 stars → 9 stars]

Experience points: 437/2600

Defense refers to physical strength, including muscle resilience and bone hardness, among other things.

It has to be said that when physical strength increases, things are different. Qi Lin now feels much more relaxed when he runs at full speed. He no longer has that dull pain in his leg muscles, and even feels a sense of exhilaration as he runs faster and faster.

……

……

An hour later.

12:52 PM.

Qi Lin gazed at the motionless Noctiluca Fissurer Queen and fell into deep thought.

Not right.

Normally by this time, the queen insect would have almost finished laying eggs, but today she hasn't started laying eggs yet!

"Beep...beep..."

"Hello, Teacher Ye?"

Qi Lin looked at the Queen Insect and immediately took out his phone to call Ye Sen: "The Queen Insect hasn't laid any eggs yet today; she's been sleeping the whole time."

"what?"

On the other end of the phone, Ye Sen's sleepy yawn came through: "Ah... what did I tell you a few days ago?"

"There are two characteristics before the queen insect mutates into a giant moth: one is that she stops laying eggs, and the other is that she becomes lethargic," Qi Lin replied with a grim expression.

"Isn't that it?" Ye Sen yawned again. "There's nothing to say. Didn't we already expect it to mutate? Sigh, I wish I hadn't called Xiaoxue to treat it in the first place. I guessed it might cause mutation, but I never expected it to be so effective..."

Is there no way to stop the mutation?

Qi Lin asked helplessly.

"No……"

Ye Sen's voice trailed off: "I'm so sleepy, I'm not talking anymore. Anyway, if it mutates, just kill it immediately, don't let it mess up the lab... then put the body on the observation table, I'll deal with it tomorrow... I'm going to sleep..."

"Beep!"

The phone hangs up.

Qi Lin sighed.

What's meant to come will come.

I guess we've reached the limit of monster spawning at the lab today.

From the day Lu Tingxue fed the Queen of Insects with demonic power, Qi Lin watched the Queen of Insects grow larger day by day and had long anticipated that the day when the monster spawn point would "disappear" was not far off... probably, it would be today.

It can only be said that this is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.

After all, Qi Lin really didn't have much time to come here to grind monsters.

The winter camp is starting in three days, and once he gets there, he naturally won't be able to come back in the middle.

Moreover, his goal is to become the top scorer in the winter camp, win the most prize money, and secure a spot in the subsequent Beast Hunting Training Camp in Hanhai City.

You can earn bonuses by participating in winter camps and training camps.

Once Qi Lin has money, he can buy the Queen Insects himself and kill as many insects as the eggs they produce each day. This will be much more efficient at accumulating experience than Ye Sen's laboratory's method of killing seven out of ten.

Speaking of which, Qi Lin will have to ask the school for leave before he can go to Hanhai City to participate in that sea training camp.

The opening time of the Beast Hunting Training Camp coincides with the start time of the next semester.

Hanhai City is a big city, and the Beast Hunting Training Camp is a well-known academy training institution that has been established for many years. Going there for training is much more useful than staying at Dawn Third Academy for classes. If all goes well, Qi Lin may even stay at the Beast Hunting Training Camp until the advancement exam begins.
