Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 77

Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Queen Steel Wasps

Su Jiyai’s eyes widened.

“It’s more like an advancement potion!”

The thing that Su Jiyai’s base lacks the most at the moment is potions.

When she was a soldier, Su Jiyai had heard about the emergence of a new type of superpower user.

Alchemist.

It was a top secret and the reason why Su Jiyai about them was because Qin Feng told her about it.

Alchemists were a very rare type of resource and only 1 out of 100 billion people could awaken this superpower.

The rareness was equivalent to the gain, because, these alchemists could make potions and elixirs that could strengthen the body of the humans.

Only the military and some of the top families who can rank on the international level could have one.

This was also the reason why, the gap between the rich and the poor was increasing day by day.

With potions and elixirs, the soldiers of the military and top wealthy families could easily earn more zombie crystals.

With more zombie crystals they could advance even more. And ultimately rank higher in the power ranking.

As for ordinary people…well they don’t even know about the existence of the potions and elixirs.

As long as she could process the honey, she could sell honey which will increase the strength of her base!

[You can think of it like that host.]

“How can I process it?” Su Jiyai asked hurriedly.

[Processing the honey requires a specialized method that involves heating it to a specific temperature and mixing it with certain herbs found in this dimension.]

“System, where is the Steel Wasps’ hideout? I need to get my hands on that honey.”

[Host, their hive is located deep within the forest, near a large tree with golden leaves. The tree itself is unique to this dimension, and its roots contain the nectar that the Steel Wasps collect to make honey. However, the hive is heavily guarded, and the deeper you go, the stronger the Steel Wasps become.]

“No worries. Take out that A-Rank colander and two B-Rank healing potions. ” Su Jiyai ordered.

These were things that she got from those lost packages.

[Okay host.]

After wearing an A-Rank Colander and a D-Rank Rolling pin, Su Jiyai shouted,

“Let’s go!”

[Okay host!]

Luckily the hive wasn’t too far away.

Within few minutes she spotted the tree the system had described.

Its golden leaves shimmered in the sunlight, casting an otherworldly glow over the area.

Beneath the tree, she could see the entrance to the hive—a large, gaping hole in the ground, with a faint buzzing sound emanating from within.

The sight of it sent a shiver down her spine, but Su Jiyai steeled herself. This was her chance to secure something invaluable.

“System, any tips on how to deal with what’s inside?”

[Host, the deeper levels of the hive contain the queen and her elite guards. They are much stronger and more aggressive than the Steel Wasps you encountered earlier.

The queen’s venom is especially dangerous, as it can paralyze even the strongest beings. I recommend a hit-and-run strategy—move quickly, grab the honey, and get out before you’re overwhelmed.]

“Understood,” Su Jiyai whispered, tightening her grip on the rolling pin. She adjusted the colander and said,

“Let the adventure begin.”

She carefully made her way down into the hive, the buzzing growing louder with each step.

The walls were lined with hexagonal cells, glowing faintly with the honey stored within.

Su Jiyai could see the steel-like sheen of the wasps’ bodies as they moved about, unaware of her presence—for now.

She moved quickly, collecting as much honey as she could into the containers she had brought.

The golden liquid was thick and warm, with a rich, almost intoxicating scent.

“System wrap with that A-Rank Cloaking Device.”

[Placing the device…

Placement succeeded.

Activating the device…

Activation succeeded.]

With the A-Rank cloaking Device, Su Jiyai started to fill as many bottles as she could.

“System can I multiply it later?”

[Processing the answer…]

Su Jiyai was surprised by the system’s words.

Usually the answer would either be a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’

However this time the system didn’t respond her to immediately which meant, that things weren’t as positive as she thought they to be.

Su Jiyai’s hand didn’t stop and she kept on collecting honey.

Maybe the Steel Wasps have been accumulating honey for more than 100 centuries, because even after filling 30 bottles, Su Jiyai felt as if she had only taken a drop in bucket.

[Answer found! No host! You can’t multiply the honey.]

“Why?”

[Host, this honey generated by Steel Wasps can only be found in their dimension. The things that you can buy from the system’s stores are given by the administration office. The officers of the administrative house are responsible for finding those materials and as long as they can be bought at a cheaper price, it can be multiplied. As for this honey…it can’t be bought, so you can’t multiple the honey.]

Su Jiyai’s shoulder slumped.

Suddenly an idea appeared in her mind and she asked,

“These steel wasps have the power to enhance the quality of the honey they extract, am I right?”

[Partially right, host. However, only high-level grass that you have seen earlier in this dimension can be allow those steel wasps to enhance the honey.]

Su Jiyai’s eyes brighetend and she asked her next question,

“Ah? Can those green grass be grown in my base?”

The system was surprised by Su Jiyai’s words and asked,

[Host are you planning to take away the grass and the steel wasps to your dimension?]

“Yes!” Su Jiyai nodded. “So now tell me whether can I grow that grass in my dimension or not?”

[Host, theoretically, the grass can be grown in your dimension, but it will require very specific conditions to thrive. The soil must be enriched with special nutrients that are only found in this dimension, and the environment must be carefully controlled to mimic the climate here. Additionally, the Steel Wasps will need to adapt to your dimension’s atmosphere, which may take time.]

Su Jiyai’s eyes lit up with excitement.

If she could successfully transplant the grass and the Steel Wasps to her dimension, she could create a steady supply of this powerful honey, giving her base a significant advantage.

This was just like recruiting an alchemist for her base!

“System, what do I need to do to bring the grass and the Steel Wasps back with me?”

[Host, you will need to extract the soil from around the roots of the grass to ensure it has the necessary nutrients for transplantation. As for the Steel Wasps, you’ll need to capture a queen and a small group of worker wasps. They will be essential for establishing a new hive in your dimension.]

Su Jiyai nodded, already planning her next move.

With the cloak still on, Su Jiyai decided to look for the queen first.

“System is there any potion to tame the queen and some of the worker wasps?” She asked.

[Yes host. There is a B-Rank Taming Potion that can temporarily pacify the queen and her workers, making them easier to handle and transport. However, it will only last for about an hour, so you’ll need to act quickly once you use it.]

“How much is it worth?” Su Jiyai asked.

[1 million points only.]

“What?” Su Jiyai was shocked.

Even the weapons weren’t as costly as these potions.

[Host would you like to buy it?]

Su Jiyai gritted her teeth and made a quick calculation.

If she could get the Queen Steel Wasps and the grass, then the honey produced would be enough to strengthen not only her base but also her humanity.

Then there were the profits that she would earn. If she wasn’t incorrect, she would be able to earn more than a million. Maybe 10 million… Anyway, it was a one-time investment.

“Fine.” Su Jiyai agreed.

[Okay host. Deducting 1 million points. Deduction complete. The B-Rank Taming Potion has been added to your inventory.]

Su Jiyai sighed, her heart aching a little.

Taking a deep breath, she asked,

“How to use it?”

[Host you just have to spray it on the queen bee. Then she will become docile. In the next 1 hour, you have to negotiate with her and ensure that she and some of her worker bees agree to leave this dimension.]

“But what should I offer her?” Su Jiyai sighed.

Honestly, if she was the queen bee, she would never agree to visit any apocalypse world.

Who would agree to leave their peaceful life and go to a dimension where their life and death can’t be guaranteed?

[Host, Steel Wasps usually likes colorful flowers, since they are a mutated version of bees.]

Su Jiyai asked,

“Anything else?”

Colorful flower?

Well…it was very difficult!

[Host, though they are bees if we look at the genealogy, however, they are still beasts. Do you have anything that you can offer to beasts?]

Su Jiyai’s eyes brightened.
