[Final Growth: Snakes are especially gifted. They have an endless lifespan and never stop growing. Every time they reach a certain limit, they will shed their skin and become even larger. In addition, when their scales are broken, they will shed their skin.]

[Snake Venom: Neurotoxin + blood circulation toxin. The neurotoxin mainly inhibits the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata, blocking the nerves and causing the respiratory movement to stop. The blood circulation toxin mainly affects the heart, blood vessels, and various parts of the blood, causing cardiovascular dysfunction.]

[Strength: Large number of strong muscles that a reptile should have. Only then can you produce a huge force to move your body.]

…

After satisfying his curiosity, Bai Chuan looked at the last two functions of the interface.

Ability Structure Library. This was easy to understand. Literally, it should be the ability library he had. Now, there were two ability templates of creatures stored inside. They were rabbits and rats.

But why were there only these two?

Bai Chuan recalled carefully and suddenly realized that these were the two types of food he had eaten today.

In other words, the ability stored in the library was related to the food he ate.

Bai Chuan stared at the interface and made a guess. However, it was not the most important thing now. In any case, he would understand after trying a few more times in the next few days.

After reading this, Bai Chuan looked at the last function at the bottom of the interface. There was an “editable” button there. He placed his thoughts in that direction, and in the next moment, something unexpected happened—

In just a short moment, a power that was as deep as the sea instantly surged into Bai Chuan’s body. Then, his perspective began to suddenly increase!

When he came back to his senses, he was already in a pitch-black space dotted with starlight. This wasn’t right because he seemed to have lost the concept of his body, but he couldn’t feel anything strange. It was as if this was how it should be. He was here and there, and he was everywhere.

What attracted him the most in this space was a 3D snake model that stood quietly in it. The moment he saw the model, he subconsciously understood what it meant. It was his current body. This feeling was as if he had been enlightened. Everything around him told him.

Following his instincts at this moment, he extended an index finger and touched the head of the model snake, if he had a finger. The next moment, the model was opened. Yes, it was opened like a file. At this moment, he could cut or copy all the abilities that matched his body in the ability structure library.

As long as it could be put in without any particularly huge incompatibility, this ability would directly evolve after this modification.

It could be said that this ability alone had shattered the common sense of “It takes at least 20,000 years for the natural evolution of creatures to produce obvious effects” that he had built up in the past.

In time, as long as he was given some time, he would be able to stand at the top of the world at an extremely exaggerated speed.

How exaggerated was that? It was as if a cheat had been activated!

When other people’s ancestors had spent countless years working hard for the current ecological niche, they had frantically evolved and fought to the death to reach the top of the current pyramid.

On the other hand, he could easily obtain the fruits of others’ labor.

Good lord, Bai Chuan couldn’t help but exclaim at this. What was the king of freeloaders?

This was it!

After knowing the power of this interface, Bai Chuan could not wait to test it out. He directly opened the ability structure library on the interface. What he saw was a vivid hare and a sneaky little rat.

Seeing this, Bai Chuan sighed regretfully. “What a pity. I knew it a little too late. If I had known earlier, I would have eaten more of today’s food. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen to the point of only having two model choices.”

Once the editing ability of this interface was activated, no matter what the final situation was, it would consume at least a little bit of energy. This bit of points could be seen as allowing the interface to be activated at full power. It would disappear without needing to be directly closed. It could also be seen as the evolution of the ability required energy.

As for how he knew? It could only be said that it was common knowledge that people should drink water when they were thirsty.

The only thing that made him glad was that even if he used up all his points in the future, the interface would not close again. This was because the first activation would only require one point.

It was a pity, but he still had to edit it. Bai Chuan didn’t believe that rabbits and rats, which were at the bottom of the food chain and hadn’t gone extinct, didn’t have any important abilities.

Then, he opened the model.

[Race: Hare]

[Abilities: Agility Lv 2, Reproduction Lv 2, Leap Lv 1, Danger Perception Lv 1, Digging LV1.]

…

[Race: Rat]

[Abilities: Reproduction Lv 2, Smell LV2, Bacteria Symbiosis Lv 1, Digging Lv 1, Swimming Lv 1, Climbing Lv 1]

“Hiss, what rich abilities!” Looking at the gorgeous ability interface of the rat, especially after comparing it with the rabbit, Bai Chuan gasped and clicked his tongue.

This ability was almost comparable to his.

No wonder, no wonder in his previous life, rats could not be destroyed no matter how hard humans tried. Sometimes, when they encountered special situations, they could even cause a huge disaster. He could not help but be impressed by this interface!

However, why did a bunch of abilities appear gray? Moreover, they were all Level 2. Bai Chuan found it strange.

Unfortunately, this panel would not give him any answer. He decided to ignore it. After all, he would find out the answer one day. He directly filtered out all the available abilities.

[Abilities: Leap Lv 1, Danger Perception Lv 1, Digging Lv 1, Intelligence Lv 1, Swimming Lv 1, Climbing Lv 1.]

Looking at these abilities, Bai Chuan fell into deep thought. He could only choose one ability now, so what would that ability help him the most?

Leaping? Pass. He really couldn’t imagine how a snake could jump. Not to mention the compatibility problem, just imagining a snake jumping forward was enough to hurt his eyes.

Danger Perception? This was good. Although as a king cobra, he was almost at the top of the ecosystem, and there was nothing to be afraid of other than a few natural enemies. Who would complain that their ability to sense danger was too weak? This was temporary.

Digging a hole? This seemed alright. At least after learning this, he would not have to occupy someone else’s nest in the future.

Everywhere he went was home. It was also a little helpful for safety, especially in the environment he was in. The rain was especially frequent, and sometimes his nest was easily drowned.

Intelligence? It would be fine if it was enhanced intelligence, but he looked at the description. [Intelligence: Develop the host’s brain and give the host the intelligence of rats.]

The intelligence of rats. Seeing this, Bai Chuan knew that it was not suitable for him. He must have lost his intelligence to choose rat intelligence and give up human intelligence. The reason why humans became the rulers of the world was because of their smart brains.

Swimming or climbing? He didn’t even need to think about it because he had these abilities.

In the end, he had to choose between the two. Danger Perception or digging a hole?

Bai Chuan looked at these two abilities and pondered for a moment. In the end, he decided—
