Chrysalis

Chapter 72

This time I manage to restrain Tiny and myself for long enough to save some bait for both of the traps.

Due to having to feed the stupid ape and reserve some of the food I only take a single Biomass for myself since it’s enough for my needs.

With five points of Biomass now I am ready to once again select a mutation advancement! I cannot wait until I can look at my status and see every available body part has been upgraded to +5. What completeness, what symmetry, such a perfect being I shall become!

No I’m not a neat freak... I think.

After resetting my original trap and baiting my second I retreat to the underground tunnel with Tiny in order to select my mutation.

[Would you like to improve Regeneration Gland to +5? This will cost five Biomass]

Oh yeah!

[At this level you may choose a mutation advancement, select from the menu]

Once more the list in my mind unfurls like a banner. A long menu of delectable choices laid before me, ready to peruse. The thing that kills me the most every single time I do this is I can only choose one!

Ok. Calm down and let’s have a look.

Ooooo I can upgrade the number of Hp that gets regenerated, upgrade the speed of the regeneration, make it refill faster so I can use it more often, excess regeneration fluid can be converted into Mp, holy moly!

Slower working regeneration fluid for a greater boost over time, rapid response regeneration fluid stored in smaller pockets around my body that automatically heal wounds when they happen....

I could pick any of them and be happy!

Once again I must use my laser-like focus to hone in on exactly what it is that I want my regeneration gland to do! Which is quite a simple thing to do really, I can clearly recall my thoughts when I chose this body part to begin with!

This is my get out of jail free card! I chose it to help me out of a jam when nothing else was working, to help me sustain in the battle after I have received significant damage!

This means I don’t need it to heal more Hp over a longer time, I don’t need it to heal smaller wounds instantly. I need a big burst of healing in a short time, I need it to overcome a critical hurdle and put me back in the fight quickly.

When the Berserkers attacked the colony I was out of action due to missing legs. The memory of having to scrabble about, unable to use my mighty weapons due to lost limbs is so painful. The regeneration was able to heal back some Hp and kick start the leg growth process but it was ultimately the Queen’s healing prowess that put my six legged self back into the insect kingdom.

The upgrade I really want is this one:
