My Players Are So Fierce

(Extra update for “Little Lamb” brother [1/5])

The symbiotic model between the Sanghai People and the Holy Beetles has always been a tradition.

After thousands of years of evolution, the complex relationship between these two species is no longer simply that of master and servant.

According to Nifytelli’s summary from Sanghai mythology, it is said that the Sanghai People found the Holy Beetles as the totem of their civilization under the direct guidance of the creator.

However, the entomologist Teranova feels that this concept is somewhat unscientific.

According to what she heard from Mummy Girl, current research on the genealogy of Holy Beetles among the Sanghai People has identified seven major categories with nearly seventy-four different growth forms.

The most famous of these are the Sun Scarab and Dead Moon Sacred Beetle, which coexist with the Radiant Sun Society and the Death Moon Sect.

The former is a semi-elemental creature filled with purifying solar energy, and the latter is a superior undead fused with death.

These are powerful forms on the Holy Beetle “evolutionary tree,” representing not only power but also the shared destiny of the Sanghai People and Holy Beetles.

Besides, Mummy Girl enthusiastically educated her first “compatriot” about the passive stealth of the Hunter Scarab; the Holy Shield Scarab, which grows large pincers, scorpion tails, and tail stings with specialized heavy shells that excel in frontal combat; and the Power Scarab, responsible for mid-long-range transportation in the Origin Land with a specialized large size.

The Sanghai People have even cultivated the Storm Scarab and Abyss Scarab, capable of manipulating wind and water, over a thousand years.

In short, while there may be evolutionary paths the entomologist can’t imagine, there are no specialization functions that the Holy Beetles cannot achieve.

Of course, cultivating different Holy Beetles according to one’s needs has always required skill.

In the Origin Land, specialized Holy Beetle trainers teach ordinary people how to cultivate their beetle companions.

However, most ordinary Sanghai People do not use highly specialized combat insect forms; instead, they consider their beetles as transport and family members.

“In the Star Realm, there are two Holy Beetle demigods named Parom and Hades.

They are the first Sun Scarab and Dead Moon Sacred Beetle cultivated in Sanghai People history.

It is said they transcended into the Star Realm during the Creator Era, serving as the guardian when Sanghai People explore the unique dimensions of the Star Realm.

They harbor benevolence toward all Sanghai People.

If you call out in the Star Realm, Parom or Hades will come to assist you.

But they do not respond to calls from any life other than the Sanghai People.”

Nifytelli earnestly explained the sacred relationship between the Sanghai People and Holy Beetles to Teranova.

The entomologist, with the support of Little Wei Ming’s notebook, earnestly recorded this knowledge that greatly interested her.

In the real world, Nova cannot find any insect species with such a complicated genetic genealogy capable of achieving specialized life forms within a short time.

This has completely triggered her passion for and exploration of insects.

However, Nova’s previous peculiar idea also puzzled Nifytelli.

She rubbed her face wrapped in mummy bandages, saying with a strange tone:

“As for the kind of Holy Beetles you mentioned that serve as a mother nest and form a numerical advantage through rapid offspring reproduction, I have not seen any such beetle.

It is estimated there is no similar beetle in the records of the Sanghai People.

This may be a completely new evolutionary lineage, but you are not a professional Holy Beetle trainer, and my knowledge in this area is also limited.

Perhaps you could take some time to return to the Origin Land and visit those expert masters to learn techniques to help your beetle achieve the evolution you desire.

But this is difficult, my foreign compatriot.

Becoming a Holy Beetle training master is no less difficult than joining either the Fierce Sun Church or Dead Moon Church to become a priest.

In fact, Holy Beetle master’s status in the Sanghai Empire is quite high.

The Ptolemaic Dynasty provides generous subsidies for many Holy Beetle masters wandering in various areas of the Origin Land.

In our army, the alien bugs commanded by Holy Beetle masters are often the most important assault forces.”

“Ha, then I’ll take this path.”

Teranova laughed heartily with her hands on her hips:

“This world with the Bug Trainer profession is so wonderful.

I can continue my precarious entomologist career here, and maybe even fill several papers.”

“What little ambition you have!”

Nearby, Little Wei Ming, hovering above the ground, pouted and said:

“You’ve come this far and are still focused on those broken papers?

I tell you, once you get the helmet, there’s a high probability you’ll settle on our side, and you’ll never run around the world in this lifetime.”

“Ha, what a silly little guy.”

Teranova said proudly:

“When did you get the idea that I am still free and easy?

As soon as Cement Sister made me do bad things and got exposed, I’ve been monitored, you fool.

The guys even gave me a semi-official job, now in the inspection period.

Okay, okay, I admit this situation is a bit miserable, but considering the current miserable environment of the pandemic, having a safe place to live is great.

Huh!

Where’s Ruyi?

That little guy’s gone.”

“When you were heatedly discussing beetles with the mummy sister just now, Ruyi went to Crimson Castle to learn engineering from the engineering master.”

Little Wei Ming shook his head and said:

“Ruyi doesn’t plan to take the combat profession route; she wants to become a Steam Engineer.

Her choice of the Half-body Man template already represents her intention.
