Chapter 12: Second degeneration

　　 Because of the accumulation of rain, Systrom did not encounter hyena-like ants again after eating the dragonfly carcass. These pesky ants have been severely damaged by the impact of rain.
　　 However, Sistrom does not believe that the ants in the forest will die out as a result. The continuous rainstorm may be accidental, but the rainstorm lasting for one or two days must be very common in this forest.
　　 The wide variety of ants in this forest undoubtedly shows that they are not without a solution to the heavy rain.
　　The complex and huge ant colony will definitely leave some empty rooms, allowing some ants to stay out of their lives, and they will crawl out of the ground again after the rain.

The speed of eating was a little earlier than what Sisterm had predicted. In an hour or two before the sun went down, Sisterm had eaten the entire dragonfly corpse, and then dragged his bulging abdomen back to his branch. The dead leaves nest to rest.
　　 After a day, some vitality regained in the forest, and Systrom heard the sound of several cicadas.
　　 As the sky gradually darkens, the moon and stars become brighter.
　　 He even heard the cry of a cricket. He didn't know how the cricket, who only lived under the gravel, survived the heavy rain.
　　 may be the reason for being reborn as an insect. Sisterm gradually understood the meaning of the cricket's call, not just because of the knowledge left over from the previous life, but he did understand the cricket's call.
　　 The cricket’s chirping sound is full of the joy of surviving after the rainstorm, and it also expresses a desire to seek a spouse.
　　 Except for a few of the insects' tweets, they are for the purpose of occupying territory, and most of them are for seeking a mate for reproduction.
　　Sistem had not paid much attention to the sound of insects before, and until today, after eating and drinking enough, he suddenly realized that insects multiply and a question about himself
　　 He is a male grasshopper who will mate after it has transformed into an adult.
　　 Does he need to find a female grasshopper to mate after he turns into an adult grasshopper after level 8?
　　 find a female grasshopper, show his strong body, attract the attention of the female, and then mate with the female grasshopper...
　　The human soul made Sisterm feel very depressed about the mating between grasshoppers.
　　 But what is even more depressing is that when Systrom thinks of the mating scene of grasshoppers, his blood trembles slightly, and he actually feels slightly excited.
　　……
　　 Sisterm's body entered a dormant state as usual, but Sisterm's spirit did not enter a half-asleep state as usual this night.
　　 Until the early morning of the next day, Systrom's spirit was still a little confused.
　　 Because of the mating of insects, the human soul of Weststrom and the instinct in the insect bloodline fought all night yesterday, and finally the human soul had the upper hand.
　　 But Sisterm didn't know whether this result would continue after he transformed into an adult for the second time.
　　 You must know that his current grasshopper body is at best an adolescent human child.
　　 When he degenerates into an adult grasshopper, and after encountering a female grasshopper, Systrom is pessimistic about whether he can continue to be rational.
　　 It is estimated that by then it will be difficult for him to control himself.
　　Sistem also considered eating less food and delaying his time to become an adult, but he could not escape the fate of becoming an adult grasshopper.
　　 Besides, becoming an adult grasshopper can increase his chances of survival. He must live as much as possible!
　　 Sisterm finally saw the matter. He still wanted to become an adult as quickly as possible. As for mating, he decided to let the flow go and not think too much.

　　 Three days passed, and Systrom's luck was not very good. In addition to eating more than a dozen sesame-sized aphids in three days, Systrom did not find any meat for him to eat.
　　 At the same time, Systrom also suffered a near-death experience on the second day. A light green lizard over ten centimeters launched a long-distance raid on him from a branch a few meters away.
　　 Because the observation distance of the insect compound eyes was too short, Sisterm hadn't noticed any danger before, so he had to jump into the water in a panic to escape.
　　 Fortunately, no fish attacked him in the water. His body was so light that he could float on the surface of the water. Finally, he struggled to paddle and climbed back to a tree and escaped.
　　 Within three days, the stagnant water in the forest depression subsided a lot, leaving only the last thirty or forty centimeters deep, and part of the high terrain had exposed the ground.
　　 By eating plants, Sisterm successfully rose to level 8 a day ago, and his figure grew to a size of 5 cm.
　　Although he hasn't transformed into an adult, his body is much larger than the 3.5 cm adult of the ordinary green-tailed grasshopper.
　　 may be related to the nutritious food he eats, or his talent [Numerical Code] optimizes his growth efficiency, or his talent [Degenerate Growth] has a high initial level.
After the level was raised to 8, Sistem Tem’s talent [Degenerate Growth] was raised to level 12. It was only one level short of the full level. Sistem also faced the blue-tailed ant because of the newly appeared bloodline information. Grasshopper learn more.
The 3.5 cm size of the ordinary green-tailed grasshopper, Sisterm learned from the information in the blood. He also knows that the grasshoppers who are born like him [degenerate and grow] and reach level 10 are very rare, almost impossible. One.
　　 It can be said that even if he doesn't have the talent of [Numerical Code], he can be counted as a talented grasshopper.

　　 After devouring the leaves for a whole day and storing the food in the abdomen, Sisterm began to return to the lair for his second metamorphosis.
After experiencing the first metamorphosis, Systrom was very proficient in the second metamorphosis. He quickly softened his exoskeleton according to the instinct in his blood, and then controlled his flesh and blood to absorb the essence of softening the exoskeleton, leaving behind The outermost layer of dross.
In the process of 　　 degeneration, Systrom does not need too much control of his own. All the changes in his body will be naturally completed by the instinct of the grasshopper's body.
　　Sistem could feel that the wing buds on his back were rapidly growing and stretching, and at the same time, a layer of softened exoskeleton was gradually wrapped on his wings to protect the wings.
　　 As expected, the turbulence from the bloodline spread out again, the [Degenerate Growth Mode] appeared, and Systrom got another opportunity to strengthen the body's ability.
　　 This time Sisterm did not hesitate and chose to strengthen his talent [Numerical Code] again, and his spirit reappeared in the ocean of 0 and 1 numbers.
　　Sistem once again transformed into a white ball of light, and several digital spheres appeared rotating around him.
　　[Self-Information Generating Technique]'s sphere is very small, and it is far away from him and very fast.
[Data Storage] The sphere is very large, very close to him. At the same time, there are two smaller digital spheres near [Data Storage], namely [Information Entry] and [Information Reading], which surround the two spheres. Orbit with [Data Storage], just like a satellite orbiting a planet.
　　 With the re-injection of the power of blood in [Degeneration and Growth], the entire digital sea has become broader.
　　 The digital sea near Sisterm vibrates irregularly again, and it seems that a planet composed of 0 and 1 is about to form again, and the size of this new planet is several times larger than [Data Storage].
　　 As long as this planet converges successfully, Systrom will undoubtedly gain new abilities.
However, this time the new skill is obviously not as smooth as the last time. To be precise, the power injected from the bloodline is insufficient. The huge digital planet has not been fully formed because it is not strong enough, and it is broken again. Fell into a coma...
