Natural Disasters Strikes: I stockpiled like crazy! novel Chapter 203

Nanzhi stared at the spider nestled on her palm.

So it was a spider colony that the Ant Queen had defeated.

"What exactly can you do? Can you show me?" she muttered, half-expecting silence.

But as she spoke, the little creature perked up, wiggling excitedly. A sudden, weightless sensation brushed against her mind. Then, a soft, uncertain voice echoed in her head—high-pitched and hesitant. Mama?

Nanzhi's eyes flickered. Did I just imagine that?

The voice appeared again.

Mama?

Nanzhi looked at the spider. "Are you the one who said that?"

The little spider nodded.

Nanzhi's forehead creased. Is its eyesight that bad? She didn't have eight legs or any spider eyes to be its mother.

With a proud little chirp, a shimmering thread of silken webbing unraveled from its spinnerets, floating in the air as if guided by an invisible force.

The spider wove the strands in a tiny, floating shape—a clumsy heart.

It infused the webs with water, making the heart grow bigger.

The heart bobbed up and down in the air before drifting toward Nanzhi, landing gently against her fingertips like a delicate gift.

Mama…for you…

An invisible arrow struck her heart.

Nanzhi slowly lifted the spider back to her lap. Alright, it was a lie to say that it wasn't cute.

"Okay. You passed the preliminary round. I'll let you stay for now."

Let's look at your stats.

[Tier 1 Puffspindle Spider]

[Attributes: Kinetic Webbing, Mental Link, Water]

It's a Tri-attribute beast too.

Mental Link should be the skill that allows it to communicate. Water is good. It's versatile.

The little one was still staring up at her with big, innocent eyes.

"Let's lay some groundwork before I introduce you to others." Nanzhi crossed her arms. "You need to follow some rules. First, don't harm my friends—"

Mama…hungry.

"Hey kid, are you listening to me?" Nanzhi poked it gently, nudging it.

The little spider grabbed her finger and made another heart.

Mama…hungry. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

Nanzhi was silent for a few seconds before slowly loosening her arms and asking, "...Well. What do you want to eat?"

Since it was still a Tier 1, she searched for information about its diet.

The book said spiderlings typically eat small insects, nectar and pollen, liquefied food, egg sacs, molted skins, and prey leftovers from their parents.

Nanzhi tried feeding it with nectar and pollen from the daily dungeon and virtual farm. The little spider liked the nectar and pollen but seemed to love the ant eggs the most.

"That is not food." Nanzhi picked it up by the belly before it could capture the bees in its web.

The little spider seemed to understand and didn't approach the beehive anymore. Instead, it wove a small house under the eaves of the cottage.

As she looked at the web, an idea sparked in Nanzhi's mind. "Could you give me a strand of your web?"

The little spider was more than happy to spin webs for her.

After making a small roll, it let out a soft yawn and nestled inside.

Nanzhi thought raising it would be hard, but it was surprisingly obedient.

She inspected the web. It was surprisingly more durable than the tendons.

A few minutes later, Nanzhi handed the web roll to Yu Baoyin.
