Well I guess unless the system timer broke, the [Well nourished] effect has something to do with the fact that the 2 day time became 18 hours in just a little bit more than 2 hours! that's what? 2x faster?
At least that served to confirm my theory that [Effects] really are more than just pretty words on a screen! these are literally buffs and debuffs, I can't see their detailed description to know their exact effects, and I don't know of a way to get that information! Maybe increasing the level of [Analyzing] it was not a certain, it might be necessary for me to increase my own level! Something I didn't get until today! After so much work and creations I din't seem to have earned the famous XP, and I din't even have an XP bar, I may well be earningXp level and have no idea! I would bet more on the fact that to level up I needed to essentially kill other creatures, because as far as I discovered craft jobs didn't give XP!
Leaving my anger with the system aside, I returned to the task of Tidying Up My Little House, the nut that lit everything still occupied the center of the burrow, and after seeing some pieces of [Common Hard Wax] on the side that had been left over from my previous construction, I decided that I would attach the small lamp to the ceiling! Using generic honey (useless in my opinion), to create a little bit of [Common wax] i use it to wrap half of the walnut with wax and leave the other half free to shine, with a single piece of special wax I put it on top of the Walnut, where it contained wax, reinforcing everything with a little more wax, and then I use what was left of common wax on my chest to stick the improvised chandelier on the ceiling, and, I must say that it was very good! Now the whole place was illuminated by the bright Walnut lamp and the considerable size ball no longer got in my way, and when it dies off I just had to stretch my arms and give the lamp a light slap to light it up again, I also opted for this model because if the Walnut stops shining at some point, I could simply tear off the old one with ease and replace it with a new and bright one!
Satisfied with my work with the chandelier, i soon left my house with the aim of filling the large dam with honey! since with my experience with the little soldier larva, I knew that is needed a lot of honey to satisfy his hunger.
----------------------------------------
After a long day of work, and a lot of willpower, because seriously, the whole process of making honey is extremely exhausting physically and mentally! The big reward was 2 levels in [Create Honey]
[Warning]
The skill [Create Honey] has reached Lv 3!
[Warning]
The skill [Create Honey] has reached Lv 4!
I had finally filled about 3/4 of my entire tank with honey from [Grand Boungain], sometimes i had to feed soldier again, and again he ate large amounts of honey! And about 1 hour ago this little guy started creating silk! it started with a few threads, and soon he was fully wrapped in a cocoon, and this could only mean one thing, that I would finally get my long-awaited soldier!
Now should be the final moments before he emerges, I was very nervous! Would he be conscious? sentient? or none of the 2? just a drone with no will of its own?
I had no idea.
I tried to analyze his [status] and ll I could do was analyze the cocoon where he was.
[Description]
[Bee cocoon]
Created from Bee silk, this cocoon is used as a refuge for large bees.
QUALITY: GREAT
I was nervous, I felt like a father in the emergency room waiting for the news of the birth of his son, not knowing at what moment it would happen.
I stood there looking at the cocoon, walking and drinking the precious honey that I had made with so much hard work as if it were water because of how nervous i was. Soon a movement came from the cocoon, as if something was tearing it from the inside, I got up at the same time, and after a few moments of struggle, from inside the big cocoon, a bee, different from me, but still similar emerged.
It was a bee larger than me, and seemed much stronger than me, he had the same body composition as me, 4 arms, 2 legs, 2 Eyes, 2 Wings and fangs, but the similarities ended there, his arms were much more robust than mine, and had what seemed to be an exoskeleton of metallic appearance, with yellow and black colors typical of bees, his shoulders were wide and had more natural armor, his head was smaller than mine, his eyes were larger, and his fangs occupied the most of his face, and they were really scary, clearly they were pretty powerful, it had 2 antennae just like me, but they were longer and hung forward, his bee butt was smaller and his sting was larger than mine, his 2 legs were large and robust, and it had a armor, the wings were huge! so much so that he razed them on the ground, very different from me, my wings were small but very powerful. As I looked at him, the image of a military soldier with all the protective equipment on came to mind.
As I look nervously at him not knowing what to do or speak I am suddenly startled, with a deep, masculine voice coming straight from his jaws.
"Mom... What's my purpose?"
....
....
I DON'T EVEN KNOW MY OWN PURPOSE, AND NOW YOU WANT ME TO GIVE YOU A PURPOSE?!!!??!
"Hmm... Then..... so... You know right?..... Protect me from the dangers of the world and things like that?......."

This Brat has just been born and already brings me trouble! He stands there looking at me like I know what to do! Just for you know, I am more lost than you! And he really called me Mom!? Now what should I do, correct it? leave it like that? Technically I'm his mother, but I wasn't prepared for a sentient being coming out of that egg!
The great bee soldier, stands looking at me, analyzing the environment around him, as if he were lost, or maybe it was just a child's curiosity? After all, even though he is a super muscular giant in my conception, in reality he is a boy with less than 5 minutes of live...
I take advantage of the awkward silence, and the fact that he seems to be distracted and try to analyze this guy to see what's good about him....

+10% Strength +10% Speed +10% life
What the fuck is that? Is he a monster? or am I pathetic? or both?
When I was born I didn't have that much power! This is a result of the fact that he is a [soldier] and I am a [Queen] or are these status the result of the mysterious effect of the [well nourished]? as a bonus in statistics?
And these [Skills]? I think it at least confirms the idea that there really are offensive-type [Skills]!
And this [Trace] that he have....
How did he get [Super developed]?!? Was that because I fed him [Boungain Honey]? Or an aftereffect of [well nourished]? I don't know! and now he is super developed!
I would say that at least this trait is very good, because seriously?
x2 in strength, life, and speed stats? That's clearly a Super soldier, should put Steve Rogers name on him to give some luck?
"hmm... are you hungry? or do you need something?
"Yes mother, I am very hungry. I don't need anything more than food and your orders mom!"
What a complicated boy.
"Well.... I've been stockpiling honey inside that Dike, feel free to eat as you desire, and about your task... could you try to target the Lv2? if you could do it, that would be very useful for me, and... Would you like a name? calling you, 'you' or soldier doesn't feel right... and could you try not to call me Mom? it's a little uncomfortable for me..."
"Of course mom!.. I'm sorry Mom, I can't help but call you mom... it simply seems to me the only correct way to address you, and regarding the task of achieving Lv 2 I can accomplish it without problems! And please fell free to call me whatever you want!"
"Ok... I guess that Mother Thing can be left for later then... but I still have a question. How can you talk so well? you were just born and you don't seem to have any problem having a dialogue with me."
"Well mom... I don't know how to tell you for sure, but I can access a link in my mind that allows me to have knowledge of everything you know, I use this form of communication because it is the one that seemed preferable to you..."
"How come you have access to everything I know?! Try to explain better!"
"Yes, I would not say that I know every piece of information that you are aware, but I can see the bigger picture and have access to general information than you have, and I can also make use of anything that you think is necessary for me to know."
"Ok, that must be one of the effects of [maternal connection] along with [Memorial memory] from me? Can you tell me how I feel about you now?"
"Yes, I can say that you are very proud of me, and also that you are afraid of me, not the kind of fear you that you might think i would hurt you, more afraid of how you should act and react to my presence, I feel that you are trying to suppress any feelings you may have toward me, such as attachment or even responsibility, and I can tell that you feel that my creation may have been a mistake."
Damn it! He aware of the feelings i had towards him all this time and didn't react to it?! Now I feel bad for him, yes I'm a little conflicted about the idea of accepting him as my son, plus I had no idea he was aware of it! No matter how much I think it must be horrible to know that your father/mother doesn't love you and think your own very existence is a mistake! Yes I feel very proud that such an aberration of nature is the fruit of my hard work, but I also feel like a real piece of garbage for making him think I hate him!
"I'M SORRY! Thats not your fault that I am feeling like this, and you are nothing but a ray of hope in my messy life, I am sorry if I have made you feel bad about your very existence, but this is only because I am in conflict with the idea of being a mother to any other living being, and not because I am mocking your existence!"
"...Thank you mom, it is comforting to know that I am not a burden for you, but I have no problem with the way you think of me, my purpose is to protect you, and how I feel doen't matter for that purpose!"
"Of course it matters, you little shit! You think I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that my own son thinks I hate him! Thaths not how I work here!"
"...I understand. So i don't have any complaints Mom, I will feed myself and I will fulfill the task given to me quickly."
I stare at him as he makes his way to the honey tank and then starts drinking the honey down the hole with a tongue even longer than mine, while I stand there still burning with emotion for a insensible and cold kid...
