Bearing the blue sky

From birth, you are cared for by six worker mice who provide you with food and water, lick your body to keep it moist, and remove your feces to keep you clean.

[Under the care of the mole troop, you have gained some mobility. What is your choice?]

[I. Continue to develop and grow]

II. Exploring in the Dry Direction

III. Exploring by Following the Direction of Moisture

【Part 4: Explore from the cave entrance】

[5. Challenge Your Mother]

Things have changed!

Much of the information has changed!

Upon seeing this information, Zhu Ge took a deep breath.

This ethnic group, like an empire, has come to an end.

The queen rat gave birth to fewer and fewer offspring each time, while the number of worker rats grew larger and larger, and the road information of the entire underground kingdom was updated and iterated faster and faster.

New roads are created every day, and a large number of worker rats are engaged in food digging and transportation; otherwise, the entire underground kingdom would not be able to sustain its consumption.

These are all conclusions that Zhu Ge drew from the previous simulations.

Now that a recession has arrived, he must seize the opportunity.

"I choose option three!"

Zhu Ge chose to explore without hesitation.

Having learned from previous experiences, Zhu Ge understands that lifespan is short and precious for moles.

The initial juvenile stage is different from the egg stage of the swordfish.

For a mole, as soon as it has the ability to move, it must start exploring immediately!

You broke free from the worker rats' service and explored the damp tunnels.

Your actions caused the worker mice serving you to emit an invigorating scent, and the queen mouse was also surprised by your actions, thus gaining the trait: Survival of the Fittest.

Survival of the fittest?

Zhu Ge felt a little more at ease.

Survival of the fittest!

This is a summary of the mole's operation this time.

Swordfish have their own rules for survival, and so do moles.

There is no predetermined path, only the right way.

It is especially important to judge the situation based on one's own environment and conditions.

Having gone through these two simulations, coupled with his real-life experiences, Zhu Ge understands even more the importance of "survival of the fittest".

I wonder what effect this trait will have... Zhu Ge felt a little expectant.

However, the simulation must continue.

Your tender claws have been worn down by walking through caves, but have become harder; your muscles have been torn by action, but have become stronger; you are exploring a whole new world and gaining the trait: Learning.

I've gained another trait?

Zhu Ge was somewhat surprised.

Choosing a damp tunnel was also based on his experience from previous simulations.

Because the dry tunnels are basically abandoned caves, there is no food or water inside, only some garbage dumps used to pile up garbage.

That's why I chose this humid area.

However, it was unexpected that the simulation content was not related to humidity or dryness, but rather to the mole's own growth.

You explore the damp tunnels, learning about everything new around you, and in doing so, you learn to distinguish scents, that is, pheromones.

As you explore, you can sense the queen's aging, the dwindling food supply, and the decline of the rodent colony.

The underground kingdom is gradually decaying, and the race is growing weaker. You instinctively feel uneasy until the Queen of the Rat calls to you with her pheromones, and you come to the Queen's nest.

[The Queen Rat licks your body, sensing the changes in you through the licking, then removes the inhibitors from your body, granting you the trait: pheromones.]

You have gained the ability to release a pheromone unique to the queen mouse. Your choice is—

I. Resisting the Reign of the Rat Queen

[II. Lead your trusted followers away from the rat horde and develop a new underground kingdom]

[Part Three: Coexist with the Queen of the Rat and Continue to Be the Princess Mole]

Another choice has been made!

Moreover, this choice was preceded by some unusual signs.

For example, the queen mouse removed the inhibitor from the mole's body, allowing the princess mole to reproduce and release pheromones.

Queen!

This is undoubtedly the path to becoming queen!

The three choices that were presented immediately gave Zhu Ge hope of obtaining the unique trait.

The "hatching" themed simulation focuses on the deeper meaning of hatching, rather than simply breaking the eggshell.

The focus of the "Queen" themed simulation may be on the queen in a deeper sense, rather than simply becoming the Rat Queen.

But at the very least, one must first become the Queen of the Rat before knowing how to become the Queen.

"The first option and the second option..." Zhu Ge stared at the two choices.

It's obviously too late to continue being the Princess Mole in the third way.

Both the first and second conditions are to become the Queen of the Rat, except that the first condition is to rebel against the rule of the Queen of the Rat and become the new Queen of the Rat.

The second point became about going out and becoming independent.

"No, the second option cannot be selected."

Zhu Ge analyzed it and immediately saw the problem with the second point.

If he were to lead the other moles out, ultimately only a few would be willing to go.

Moreover, no one can say for sure what the outside environment is like.

The princess mole who failed in the previous attempts was expelled.

Moreover, for a species like the mole, the underground is its comfort zone.

"I choose option one: to fight against the Queen of the Rat and rebel against her rule!"

Zhu Ge calmly chose option one.

[You emitted pheromones indicating your intention to become queen in the queen's nest chamber, causing a frenzy among the mice.]

All the worker rats have become complacent in this vast and ancient underground kingdom and are unwilling to make changes, but they can all sense the decay and old age in the queen's pheromones and also yearn for change.

Surrounded by rats, you defeated the Queen, devoured her body and glands, and released your pheromones into the swarm, gaining the trait: New Queen.

You can choose the development direction of your rat colony.

[I. An even larger underground kingdom]

Part Two: A Small but Exquisite Underground Kingdom

Is that all?

Zhu Ge was stunned for a moment, but then she realized what was happening.

There is still no unique trait!

"Then let's continue!"

Zhu Ge wasn't discouraged. After all, having a unique trait wasn't important; being useful was the key.

The most important thing right now is to face the fisherman in the straw raincoat, so having a unique trait is best. He survived the hunt by the fungus god entirely because of the "Kunpeng".

Of course, if there's no unique trait, just choose the one that's useful.

"I choose option one: massive."

While a large and complex force may harbor potential dangers, it can also be said to enhance resistance.

Singapore will never become a superpower.

Cancer in humans is nothing compared to cancer in whales.

In short, the larger the empire, the stronger its resistance and the greater its tolerance for mistakes.

Your underground kingdom is growing ever larger, and you have begun producing your first offspring. What kind of offspring do you wish to have?

【I. Explorers】

II. Producers

[III. Fighters]

coming!

Zhu Ge had previously speculated about this, and now his speculation has been confirmed.

To be a queen, it's not enough to just become queen; how to be queen is also very important.

"Exploration? Production? Combat?"
