• At the Heavenly Fortune Exotic Beast Market, Ye Bai used the Eye of Insight to find Great Strength Ant larvae eggs hidden among Ironclad Ant eggs and bought all the eggs in the warehouse.
• The shopkeeper offered Ye Bai a tablet listing more eggs and secretly marked him with tiny insects, but Ye Bai noticed the insects through the Eye of Insight and let them burrow into him.

Ye Bai lured the Death God Society member Hundred Worms into an ambush and learned that Da Hui was a prized experimental subject of Lord Death God. After Da Hui and Ye Bai killed Hundred Worms, a tiny insect escaped into the ground.

• Ye Bai burned most of the Tracking Gu on his body, then waited on a river island for the shopkeeper tracking him.
• Hundred Worms pursued Ye Bai on a Centipede, which the Five Elements Butterfly tore apart as soon as it reached the island.
• Hundred Worms revealed he was a Gu Person and sent a Lightning Spirit Spider after Da Hui, identifying him as an escaped Thunder Chinchilla and a successful test subject.
• Da Hui split the Lightning Spirit Spider apart with a single strike, and Ye Bai decided to kill Hundred Worms rather than hand him over for interrogation.
• Hundred Worms unleashed an army of Bug Element Strange Beasts, but the army collapsed and his body melted into pus and blood.
• Ye Bai ordered the Space Pelican and Sunflower Emperor to recover the items scattered from Hundred Worms, while a tiny mosquito-like insect burrowed into the ground.

After killing Gu Person Hundred Worms, Ye Bai returned to his Laboratory and discovered a new hybrid ant, the Great Strength Ironclad Ant, while the Death God Society began hunting Da Hui. As Ye Bai prepared to visit the underground Black Market, he was asked to treat Imperial Capital University's unconscious chief student, who was covered in spores and tentacles.

• Secretary He decided to find a new backer after Director Liang's prospects collapsed and Zhang Lingxue was promoted.
• Zhang Lingxue placed Yun Luo and Lan Fa on Ye Bai's research team, and Yun Luo's Word Spirit buff sharpened their thinking while Lan Fa suffered an accident.
• Ye Bai told Zhang Dashan about Yun Luo's ability, and Zhang Dashan accepted her as his final disciple and took her to the Strange Beast Battlefield.
• Lan Fa revealed his Mirror Person and offered to help Ye Bai copy the Five Elements Pinecone as the team prepared to study four ant-related projects.
• Ye Bai used Great Strength to investigate the Great Strength Ironclad Ant and uncovered three possible evolution paths.

Ye Bai obtained ant queen signal hormone and began experiments to induce Great Strength Ironclad Ants and Summer Grass Ants to evolve, while Jiang Dongsheng asked him to treat spores infecting his pet beasts.

• Jiang Dongsheng asked Ye Bai to treat spores infecting his pet beasts and gave him a Dragon God Orchid as payment.
• Ye Bai and Lan Fa injected young ants with signal hormone and monitored their rapid growth and molting.
• Ye Bai’s daily intelligence revealed new selection rules for the Global Youth Research Competition, freshman deployment against a Beast Tide, and an Auspicious Beast in the Sea Mystic Realm.
• After Ye Bai fell asleep, the experimental ants stopped moving and entered pupation, and Lan Fa’s Doppelganger woke Lan Fa to report the change.

Ye Bai discovered that the Great Strength Ironclad Ants were eclosing while the Summer Grass Ants were being transformed and controlled by infectious spores. He contained the ants, warned Lan Fa about the danger, and left to operate on Jiang Dongsheng, while researcher Liu Dachui’s photo drew curious scientists toward the Laboratory.
