Muahahaha! With over a hundred points to spend, I’m feeling slightly giddy. What to go for first?

Currently I’ve upgraded eyes to +7 and acid to +6, so I may as well finish those off first, that’ll take a significant chunk out of my points already.

[Would you like to upgrade Focused Eyes to +10 and Restrictive Acid to +10? This will cost 61 Biomass?]

Sixty one?!?!

Even if I already knew it, feels bad to hear Gandalf actually say it out loud.

I still have sixty eight Biomass to play with so I need to get spendin’. Once I’ve upgraded these two, I’ll still have legs, Gravity mana gland, Regeneration Gland, Pheromone and the two newest editions to go before I reach a complete +10 state.

Arrrgghhh! This is so frustrating!

Just how much do I have to eat before I can upgrade myself all the way?! Is it my tiny ant stomach that’s the problem?! I have two stomachs and I pack them both full every meal!

When I consider that my current level of evolution supports upgrades up to +15 I can only feel depressed. The goal of fully mutating everything before my next evolution seems like a long way away. Work hard stomachs! I’m counting on you guys!

Since I’ll be striding forth into battle after this round of upgrades I really want to ensure my combat effectiveness is at its peak, not only on the offensive but also the defensive. I’m thinking that the regeneration gland could use a boost, just in case things turn south and I get bitten in half or something.

[Would you like to upgrade Focused Eyes to +10, Restrictive Acid to +10 and Limb Regeneration Gland to +10? This will cost 101 Biomass?]

Yikes!

Only eighteen left?!

I guess that’ll be it for the full upgrades to +10... Enhancing my senses has never been a poor choice. I’ll upgrade my trusty antennae next. With 18 Biomass I can upgrade them to +7 and have five points in the bank.

Ok then!

Let’s do it Oh bearded one.

I don’t really need it to do damage, what I want is more utility out of it. The restrictive properties are great, if that could be enhanced I’d be interested, for sure. Let’s see

Wait a sec.

Wait. One. Second.

Done!

taking the eyes from +7 to +10 I can expect a tremendous improvement in my all around

the regeneration gland. When I first selecting an advancement for this organ I was quite concerned about how less well defended my legs are compared to the rest of me,
