Chương 79: What is This? A Giant Spider? Let's F*ck It!

A Giant Spider? Let's F*ck It!

After recruiting the Crimson Queen, Li Qinwu immediately checked the stats of this "heavyweight" companion: Name: Crimson Queen Race: Giant Demon Spider (Adult) Level: 50 Intelligence: 35 (Cunning -10, Social -20) Titles: Shut-in: A super-aged spinster who hasn't left her nest in 200 years. Charisma -5. Chatterbox: Hasn't spoken to a sentient being in 200 years; once she starts, she can't stop. Social -5.

Biological Synthesis Factory: Her abdomen is a complex factory of glands capable of editing and birthing minions with specialized abilities.

"I struck gold!" Li Qinwu sat in front of the spider's massive head, stroking her compound eyes, which felt like reinforced glass.

"Little Red, how many minions can you control? What's the production rate?" The Crimson Queen shuddered, finding Li Qinwu's gaze far too intense.

"Normally... 500. I can push it to 1, 000, but any more and they lose the mental link. As for the 'Wolf Spiders' you mentioned... it takes about 10 Great Goblins' worth of nutrients and 83 days to develop a mature hunter."

"You use Goblins as a food unit?!" Li Qinwu raised a hand as if to strike. The Queen trembled, explaining that Goblin meat was sour and "cursed" (referring to the system's backlash), and she actually preferred other prey. Through their discussion, Li Qinwu realized she was a mobile bio-weapon factory. By "editing out" unnecessary organs, she could significantly shorten the incubation period.

Li Qinwu saw a golden opportunity: Spider Cavalry! He began a "Product Manager" style negotiation: Subtraction: Remove silk glands (-5 days), remove venom fangs (-10 days), remove extra eyes, and drastically nerf the vibration-sensing organs (-20 days—also preventing her from being stunned by explosives again). Addition: Increase lung capacity, strengthen leg muscles, and add omnivorous mouthparts and a stomach capable of digesting plants (to lower maintenance costs).

The final calculation: A mount with 160kg carrying capacity, incredible speed, and omnivorous diet, costing only 7 Crocodile-Derm meats and 75 days to hatch! After finalizing the "product specs," the Queen turned to head back to her cave to sleep. Li Qinwu gave her a sharp smack on the head: "Go home? No way. Go to the construction site! We Goblins don't house idlers. Go build the road!" The vital highway connecting Iron City and Goblin Fort had been stalled due to the war.

Now, with the Crimson Queen as a "Super Steamroller," efficiency skyrocketed. The Queen grumbled in her mind about the sun tanning her shell while she plowed through the forest by sheer force. Where she passed, trees were snapped, roots were gouged out by her massive legs, and the ground was packed harder than a mechanical tamper by her heavy abdomen. A construction crew of nearly a thousand Goblins laying concrete couldn't even keep up with her pace.

As the Queen grumbled about wanting to eat an Ogre for her "work meal," her senses suddenly caught a whisper from the crew behind her. A Goblin named Gobu-Da stood there, leaning on his hoe, staring with absolute infatuation at the massive spider abdomen.

"So big! I want to f*ck it!!!" THUD!!! The Crimson Queen leaped like a startled jumping spider, performing a 180-degree mid-air turn. The impact of her landing sent Goblins flying. Her massive head, glowing with angry red patterns, loomed inches from Gobu-Da's face. Her voice thundered in everyone's minds:"WHAT. DID. YOU. JUST. SAY?!" Gobu-Da froze, but the primal instinct of a Goblin won out. He sniffled loudly and repeated with total sincerity:"Your... your butt is big and cute. I want to f*ck it."
