NOVEL NEXT Ch 51
Chapter 51
“Well, it’s nice not to have to worry about it this time.”
The evolution list he’d faced time and time again, after reaching 100% growth.
The choices presented a stark difference in the outcomes, so it was always a struggle to decide and the foresight of the queens, but for once, he didn’t have to worry about that.

※ Your Imperial Topaz Queen Bee (★★★★) has met the requirements and is now ready to evolve into an Imperial Topaz Queen Bee (★★★★+). Please choose the path as its owner. You have 30 minutes left.
You have used the Wild Gem Honeycomb Fragment (★★★+) as an additional material. -> All stats of the Imperial Topaz Queen Bee and all bees in the swarm are slightly increased, Evolution List specialization is compressed, and the Imperial Topaz Queen Bee and the elite bees she spawns gain the knowledge to build wild beehives.
[Evolution List]
* Wild Beehive Builder Knowledge evolution: the effects of the honey produced by the Imperial Topaz Queen Bee and the bees in her swarm are imbued with special powers / There is an extremely low chance that an elite bee, the Imperial Topaz Architect Corps Commander Bee (★★★★), will be spawned.
…
______________________________
A wild gem honeycomb fragment.
As an evolutionary material of the 3rd+ rank, was it the influence of Ninekito’s direct handpicking?
Or was it simply the synergistic effect of the Topaz Queen Bee, who had already used the Imperial Moth’s Cocoon while undergoing intensive evolution of her egg-laying and reproductive organs?
For whatever reason, there was only one option that came to the screen,
[Do you want to choose the Wild Beehive Architect’s Knowledge Evolution? YES / NO].
As if aware of this, the system prompts for an answer.
“YES.”
Naturally, Sung-hyuk, who treats time like gold, has no reason to decline.
Without a second thought, he chose yes,
*Wieng~* *Wieeeng~!*
“Please take good care of me from now on, little queen.”
[Imperial Topaz Queen Bee (★★★★+) has secured her nest].
[Laying activity begins!]
A new family member has completed their third evolutionary stage in one fell swoop.
The golden-colored queen has also begun laying eggs in earnest.

* * *
The red-hued Rubigem bees and the green-hued Peridot bees who represent Sung hyuk’s beekeeping farm.
One by one, they quickly finished their allegorical process, and Yeon-ah was the first to react to the sight of the Imperial Topaz bees emerging and wiggling their golden bodies.
“Wow, Sung-hyuk. I’ve never seen a yellow one before!”
“You’re amazing, too.”
He knew from previous behavior that she was fascinated by the bee’s colorful bodies from the first time she saw it.
But was it because she had been looking at it every day?
Yeon-ah uses her omniscient mind to figure it out quickly, even while she’s busy working.
“I wonder what other cute things they’ll do this time?”
“I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough.”
The added effects and enhancements the game has brought to the bees.
The various mushrooms that started growing everywhere because of the spore mycelium bees.
With each new species always bringing something different to the table, it’s no wonder Yeon-ah was excited.
And sure enough?
It didn’t take long for things to happen.

….
A bunch of Rubigem scout bees roaming around outside, conducting real-time reconnaissance, and their leader, Lily.
They’ve discovered cocoons scattered around the farm, and as they gather honey, they team up to carry what they find with their little legs.

A silkworm bee, one of the higher forms of bees spawned by the Imperial Topaz Queen.
Befitting their name, their skills are related to threads, which can be utilized for production in certain situations, and they have innovated methods of reducing bee casualties, such as disrupting the movement of monsters by spewing out threads.
And what’s more?
*Buzz!* *Bzzt!*
The bees are calling out to him.
As he approaches them, the bees hovering around the hive show off a lump in Sung-hyuk’s hand as if to show off.
Unlike any other bee cocoon he’s seen before, this one glows a brilliant yellow color and has an incredibly cushy feel to it, making it obvious that it’s no ordinary bee cocoon.

“Thank you.”
*Bzz!!* *Wieng~~*
*Wieng~~~*
As if to show their appreciation, the bees around him do a delightful dance of their own and perform aerobatics.
Are the bees trying to give him an answer in return?
Or is it the universe conspiring to help him?
[Peridot Bee Larva’s Pupae (★★) has completed the Allegory process].

“……?”
The odds of each of these extraordinary outcomes do not exceed 0.1%.
Beyond that number, three consecutive miracles came to Sung-hyuk’s beekeeping farm at one go.
* * *
A video is being secretly transmitted.
The administrator of the South Korean server, showing a human being celebrating with joy.
The pet, Riggle, rubs his hands together with his trademark smirk.
– Are you satisfied with this arrangement?
[The Transcendent Being, King Frainkito, smiles from ear to ear].
[Transcendent Being, Zion the Forbearer’s lips curl by a fraction of a millimeter].
[Transcendent Being, Madness Seeker Bo’s gaze is satisfied].
…..
In the world, there are two kinds of “coincidences” of good things happening.
There are cases where it wasn’t intended, but just happened because the person in question was so lucky, and there are cases where someone intervened and made it happen the way it was intended.
The human in the video, obviously.
For Sung-hyuk, the birth of three major bees at once definitely falls into the latter category.
Something that happened by ‘intervention’, as opposed to luck, as such.
As the saying goes, this means that the server’s administrator, Pet.
Riggle, the administrator of the server, wielded his power to bestow benefits on Sung-hyuk.
Of course, such behavior is wrong as an administrator and deserves a penalty from the all-powerful “world,” but there are exceptions for everything.
– Since you’ve been so helpful to this lowly pet, Riggle, I’ll repay you with something less intrusive. Transcendents!
A group of transcendent beings.
They, the Transcendents, have gathered the power of ■■■, which can only be used within the confines of the chapter, and made it available to Riggle, so that he can utilize it and avoid any penalties.
– Now, we’re going to take a quick commercial break and come back to the next video.
After a short commercial break to distract the Transcendents for a moment, Riggle is overcome by an overwhelming sense of shame.
– I never thought I’d see the day when I’d have to do this to a toy!
A mere insignificant thing.
It’s the ultimate disgrace for a Pet to use their power in this way for the benefit of a human being who is merely a toy meant to be used for displaying content.
If another pet found out, he would feel so embarrassed that he would want to crawl into a hole.
But what can he do?
Even if it’s shameful, it’s still better to survive long enough to rise through the ranks and become a Transcendent than to be disqualified as a server administrator.
– Livestock. This is what happens. I hope you can live up to my expectations.
The first time is always the hardest.
Riggle had already endured mental humiliation once.
Since he’s been singled out by Goofisgle, the administrator of the Chinese server, he only has one chance.
So, it’s in his best interest to make it as good as he can, even if it means putting a metal plate in his face.
– Now, let’s use the rest of your ■ ■ ■ powers to add some specialized terrain manipulation and dungeons for that player.
With a ding that signaled the end of the commercial break, Riggle put on a performance to please the Transcendents.
He commenced a symbiotic broadcast in favor of Sung-hyuk, with whom he had become a partner.
