Feng Luo took close to ten seconds to calm down.
In fact, this surprise had exceeded his expectations.
If 24K could really control the Zergs …
Then Feng Luo could be sure that 24K's potential and value would be unimaginable.
It was even possible that it would directly sit on the throne of the "Number One Pet" in War!
Note that this "Number One" referred to the true number one in War on other planets.
Feng Luo thought that it was a little strange.
With 24K's current potential and ability to produce troops, it should already be the number one pet in the entire game, right?
After subduing a few hundred beetle underlings, if 24K were to summon the entire beetle army, even without Feng Luo's command, it was very likely that it would be able to kill a Quasi-Boss monster below Level 50.
Not to mention, theoretically, the beetle troops could also be hatched or evolved to Quasi-Boss or Boss Grade.
At that time, even compared to other Boss Grade pets, its combat power should be far superior!
Yes, as a very special Boss Grade pet, 24K could theoretically hatch tens of thousands of Boss Grade pets. Its combat power seemed to have no upper limit!
However, please don't ignore two points.
The first was the difficulty of hatching and cultivating beetle troops above the Commander Grade.
Only complete corpses of Elite monsters had a chance of hatching Elite-grade beetles, and only Commander-grade ones could hatch Commander-grade ones. As for Quasi-Boss Grade and Boss Grade, they naturally had the same restrictions.
Also, even with the corpses of these high-level monsters, the probability of hatching a beetle of the corresponding level was not 100%, and the probability was actually very low.
Using Elite-grade beetles as an example, Feng Luo calculated and felt that there was at most a 10% chance of success.
As for Quasi-Boss Grade and Boss Grade, Feng Luo still had no ability to try them.
Because hatching Quasi-Boss Grade beetles, other than the corpses, also required Psionic Energy. The higher the level, the more Psionic Energy it required.
With 24K's current Psionic Energy limit, it was impossible to directly hatch other beetles other than Gatherer Beetles on Quasi-Boss Grade corpses!
He estimated that in order to hatch beetles on Quasi-Boss Grade corpses, he would have to at least wait until 24K's level exceeded Level 50.
This was only the first point.
Secondly, 24K's strength was indeed strong, but its strength did not come from its own combat power. Instead, it relied on the beetle army, and the beetle army was a "wild monster" that could not be revived after it died!
Furthermore, as wild monsters, these beetles had a limit to their lifespan. Even Boss-level beetles would die when their lifespan was up.
Feng Luo had not thought of this at first. It was only when a few of the beetles 24K had subdued died that he realized the problem.
Beetles would die of old age. This rule actually directly limited the number of beetles in the end.
When 24K's hatching speed and the beetles' aging and dying speed reached an equilibrium, the beetle army could no longer expand. This was the beetle army's limit.
Fortunately, the lifespan of these beetles was still relatively high, and the higher the level of the beetle, the longer it could live. This upper limit was not something that could be achieved with hundreds or thousands of beetles.
However, these two points restricted 24K's ultimate potential!
This also made it hard to say that this special Boss pet was definitely stronger than other Boss pets.
It was important to note that the combat power of pets in War could generally be compared to wild monsters.
An Elite-Grade pet's combat power was about the same as a Normal monster of the same Level; a Commander-Grade pet's combat power was about the same as an Elite-Grade monster; a Quasi-Boss pet's combat power was naturally about the same as a Commander-Grade monster (in reality, pets were slightly stronger, because pets had more powerful skills than monsters of a lower Level).
Using this analogy, it was clear that the combat power of Boss Grade pets should actually be similar to that of Quasi-Boss Grade wild monsters.
Therefore, although 24K could theoretically hatch countless Boss minions, and its combat power limit was definitely higher than that of a normal Boss Grade pet.
However, once the beetle army was exhausted in battle, or even completely lost, 24K could very well become the weakest Boss Grade pet.
This point would definitely not be comparable to other Boss Grade pets that could be revived!
…
Because of this, in Feng Luo's heart, although 24K was very strong.
However, to say that the entire Star Civilization's "War's Number One Pet," he did not have much confidence that 24K could obtain this title!
However, when the Caucasian NPC old man revealed that 24K was actually bred to replace the Zerg's Cerebrate …
Feng Luo suddenly felt that there was hope for this title to be worn on 24K's head!
In the entire Star Federation, probably only he, who had some understanding of the Zerg, knew how powerful the Zerg were.
Just one invading Zerg base had destroyed one-third of the army on a high-tech civilization planet, and it had forced them to destroy the planet's largest forest as a price to pay.
If 24K really had the ability to control the Zerg …
Then, one day, he might be able to obtain a Zerg army that could dominate the universe? And a huge biological fleet, a Zerg base formed by biological creatures!
"Phew … I think I'm thinking too much!"
Feng Luo, whose face was a little flushed, took a deep breath, then shook his head and smiled.
Not to mention, according to the information obtained from the underground ruins, after 24K was bred, the laboratory was attacked by people who rebelled.
So, in reality, whether or not 24K could replace the Cerebrate to control the Zerg was something that had not been verified yet!
According to the "balance principle" of normal games, the game system should have secretly "neutered" 24K's "bug-like" ability to control the Zerg, just like how it restricted the strength of wild monsters after they became pets!
Or, even if it was not neutered, it would create all kinds of difficulties so that 24K would not have the chance to control the Zerg!
For example, from what he had seen previously, the Zerg in this experimental base had already perished together with the humans.
If that was the case, there was a high possibility that the Zerg no longer existed on this planet. So, even if 24K had this ability, it would not destroy the "balance" of the game!
"But the War officials have never said from the beginning that the strength of the players must be maintained in absolute balance!
A Commander Grade pet is more than twice the combat power of an Elite Grade pet, and it can even challenge a normal player on its own, not to mention a Boss Grade pet which is more than ten times stronger than a normal pet … "
"Also, let's talk about the rich players. They can buy a full set of Legendary equipment and spend money to buy all kinds of permanent Enhancement Potions to increase their attributes by several times that of ordinary players. Isn't this also breaking the balance?"
Obviously, it could not be said that …
Normal players also had the chance to obtain Legendary Grade equipment.
And the officials had also said that all pets could also evolve into Bosses, this was the true balance principle in War!
Balance had always been relative, not absolute!
All the imbalance was only because it was obtained "ahead" of time, such as Feng Luo's current combat power!
Or maybe 24K had really obtained the ability to control the Zerg …
This possibility is very high, otherwise, this white old man would not have mentioned this at all!
Feng Luo stared at the screen and judged in his heart.

PS, the following does not count as words.
Alright, this chapter was actually stuck, so it was a watered down chapter.
However, although there was some sophistry in the end, it did indeed answer some readers' questions about the game's balance.
Because at the moment, Feng Luo's strength was indeed not balanced, but what I need to say is that compared to normal players, his strength would be even more unbalanced.
So, take it as a precaution here, anyway … Yes, one day in the future, he will be able to fight against a thousand people, and even single-handedly fight against guilds, single-handedly wreaking havoc (confidential)!
Balance and whatnot … is not as important as showing off!
Yes, that's not right, it's not that it's not balanced, it's just obtained ahead of time …
