Simulation: Start with exotic animals

Chapter 174 The whole body is full of...

For the first time as an adult, when Zhao Meng, who is a starfish, waved his tentacles, he realized that each tentacles had one, not a pair, a tool to participate in the immediate responsibilities.

This gave him a very novel feeling, like an open palm, with a finger on each finger, oh!It is a number pair, a tool that should not be in your hands.

"But to be precise, it should not be fingers, but limbs..."

Although it felt strange, in order to complete the simulation, Zhao Meng still assumed the responsibility of being a male starfish.

Zhao Meng, who is a starfish, raised one of his arms,
White clouds gushed out from the arms and legs, drifted down the ocean currents, collided with the eggs released by the male and female starfish, and new seedlings were born.

Of course, this level of cloud and mist is still a little weaker than the ocean wonders that cover the sky and the sun with sunfish.

"continue!"

Zhao Meng didn't stop after using one arm, he raised the other arm and continued to release the cloud.

Generally speaking, under the stimulation of temperature and environment, the five arms and legs of starfish will release clouds together.

But Zhao Meng, who possesses human wisdom, said that prolonging the starfish's time can increase the chance of reproduction.

In addition to the consideration of extending the time to increase the success rate, Zhao Meng also wanted to test whether each of Starfish's five arms feels different.

After passing the experiment of uniform exposure to rain and dew, he came to a conclusion that there is no difference between the arms and legs of the starfish.

……

After gathering, the starfish on the bottom of the sea began to leave slowly. Although some starfish lingered on this place, the predators they attracted made them dare not stay any longer.

Sensing the sea otters scurrying up and down above his head, Zhao Meng shook his wrist and left the gathering place in a hurry.

[In June of the second year, you were attacked by natural enemies and lost part of your body]

"These sea otters!"

"unacceptable!"

"How do you pick this part of your mouth?"

Zhao Meng, who was hiding in the crevices of the rocks on the seabed, felt helpless in his heart when he felt the incompleteness of his body.

Since adulthood, starfish has had few natural enemies, but few does not mean no, but what Zhao Meng did not expect was that his natural enemy turned out to be sea otters.

"Go to the deep sea, so there will be fewer sea otters!"

Zhao Meng's life was not good this year, perhaps because of the breeding of starfish, which attracted a large number of sea otters.

These sea otters feed on sea urchins, shellfish in the ocean, which conflicts with the starfish's diet.

It's fine if it's just grabbing the starfish's food. More importantly, sea otters seem to prefer to eat a certain part of the starfish.

For this reason, sea otters often take one or two bites, and then throw the starfish back into the sea.

Unfortunately, even though Zhao Meng, who had little mobility, was already hiding in the crevices of the rocks, he was found out by a majestic sea otter and bit him twice.

The biting place is the most nutritious 'responsible area' on the wrist and foot.

"It's also thanks to the fact that starfish are not humans. If sea otters attack like this, if humans are bitten like this, sea otters may become a nightmare for humans."

Although Zhao Meng does not have a human body at this time,
But after he thought of the sea otter's attack on humans, which was some kind of peach-picking behavior, there was still a chill in his consciousness at this time.

"Fortunately, there is a responsibility area on each arm of the starfish, just a few, and you will lose it!"

[In July of the second year, after continuous eating, your body has recovered. 】

"I didn't expect that this starfish's ability to regenerate severed limbs is so strong!"

Zhao Meng waved his newly grown arms and feet, felt the responsibility area of ​​returning to normal functions, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

"For a creature, the rebirth of a broken limb is not a kind of sadness."

Feeling his new arms and legs, Zhao Meng suddenly discovered that in nature, animals with this ability are often in a passive position in the food chain.

If it wasn't for a certain part of the body that would often be torn off by predators, why should it have such an ability.

"Although this is an ability that animals have evolved as a last resort, it would be nice if this ability can be used as an entry."

[In April of the fourth year, the breeding season is here, and your instinct drives you to try to do something. 】

This time Zhao Meng restrained his instinct, the breeding place will attract natural enemies,
It would be dangerous to go there, and after the second and third years of breeding, he has also completed the mid-term task of the simulation - breeding

According to Zhao Meng's understanding of the simulation system,

If he fails the simulation at this time, the system will display the available entries in order to provide motivation to continue the simulation.

"I don't know, what entry will Starfish get?"

Feeling the quiet water flow around him, Zhao Meng found a safe sea area.

[In April of the fifth year, the breeding season is here, and you have released your responsibilities]

Zhao Meng, who was exhausted, lay quietly on the bottom of the sea, and he muttered silently in his emptiness:
"The lifespan of a starfish should not be long!"

[July of the sixth year, breeding...]

"When will you die!"

Bored, he continued to review the numerology models and configurations of the Golden Core Stage, hoping to use this to spend Haixing's life.

[In January of the seventh year, you were attacked, you were already dead, and the simulation failed]

"Sigh~"

"What ate me?"

"I didn't wait to die, but a predator came."

Zhao Meng recalled what he perceived before the failure,

He felt as if something soft had crawled onto his body, and before he could react, it was eaten.

……

In a trance, Zhao Meng returned to his body again.

The phantom in the simulated space, according to the usual practice, cleared the sequelae left by the starfish.

But even so, he still felt uncomfortable for a while, and opened his eyes after he relaxed a bit.

"Senior, have you thought of a way?"

As soon as Zhao Meng opened his eyes, he heard the hurried voice of Yunfu.

Although several years have passed in the simulation, under the interference of the phantom, those years are like a dream, only feeling long-term but momentarily in a trance.

It was this time gap that made him a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, these discomforts dissipated quickly, and all Zhao Meng's senses were reset to the moment before the simulation.

"Don't worry, I already have a solution, but you need to pay something."

"No matter what I promise."

"it is good!"

"Then wait a moment."

After saying that, Zhao Meng closed his eyes, came to the phantom space again, and checked the simulation record just now.

"Sure enough!"

【Simulation failed】

[After the simulation is successful, the following entries can be obtained. 】

【Wrist testicles (golden)】

[Rebirth of severed limbs (purple)]

【Abnormal Development (Purple)】

【Sucking (Purple)】

【Stomach vomiting (blue)】

【Acid release (blue)】

[Water perception (blue)]

【Radiation Digestive System (Blue)】

【cilia (blue)】

【Wrist mucus (blue)】

[Water cavity (white)]

【Back anus (white)】

[wrist suction (white)]

【Echinoderm (white)】

……

【Hidden entry (not unlocked)】

Seeing the entry of vomiting stomach, Zhao Meng was very happy, but when he saw the golden entry of starfish, the conscious body in the phantom space experienced a short-term thinking stagnation.

"The golden entry is related to reproduction."

"But what is this?"

Zhao Meng once thought about what the starfish's golden entry was, but when he saw this thing, he couldn't hold back anymore.

If he has not simulated a starfish, he may not be able to understand the meaning of this entry,

But after experiencing the breeding process of starfish, even if he can't see the detailed explanation of the entry at this time, he can already guess something.

"This kind of term...if it is used on a human body, how will it be displayed?"

Looking at this entry, Zhao Meng thought of an allusion for some reason.

In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life, adult men liked to wear a few pieces of jade ornaments around their waists. Whenever they walked, the jade stones collided with each other and made a very pleasant jingling sound.

This style not only highlights the identity, but also cultivates the style of a gentleman with jade ornaments.

However, getting two pieces of jade around the waist is enough, if you hang jade all over your body, you will be despised by people under the jingle.

Recalling this allusion, and then looking at this entry, Zhao Meng felt a little helpless.

"This kind of entry... that's all! I haven't drawn it out yet, maybe it's different from what I thought."

Zhao Meng continued to look down:

"Rebirth from broken limbs, this entry is not bad."

"Abnormal development, this entry may have a miraculous effect on black beasts."

"Pull out..."

Seeing this entry, Zhao Meng was silent for a while, he could understand this entry,

The five arms of the starfish are covered with suckers like the tentacles of the octopus, and they can open tightly closed clams.

But he really couldn't imagine how this kind of term is reflected in people.

"Human limbs plus the head can also correspond to the five arms and legs of a starfish."

"Is it to increase a person's ability to hug and tear?"

Zhao Meng guessed for a while, then continued to look down, the next entry was his purpose this time [vomit stomach]

"I don't know if this entry can be extracted at once!"

"If it doesn't work, you can only enter the second week."

Zhao Meng browsed through the remaining entries, and then looked at the huge phantom in the phantom space. This phantom with a head and a snake tail has become much more solid than half a year ago.

Some traces of facial features have appeared on it, but there is still a layer of mist, and the real appearance of the phantom cannot be seen.

"The number of phantoms accumulated now should be enough to support me to extract the required entries."

As early as in the last world, Zhao Meng discovered that the degree of solidification of the phantom represents the number of simulations that can be performed.

He also used the monster stone to charge the phantom. Before, he thought that the power of earth decline in the monster stone provided the phantom with energy, but now that he thinks about it, the things that provide energy for the phantom still cannot draw a rough conclusion .

"Is it the free force of earth decay in nature, or the source of yang emitted by the stars, or something else..."

Zhao Meng stopped his random guessing and entered the simulation system again.

……

After a period of trance, the familiar flu of water appeared around him.

[In the first week, you were born from a gastrula and became a free-swimming larva of a starfish...]

The hatching process of starfish is also different from that of ordinary creatures. During such a peculiar process, Zhao Meng started a new simulation again.

【Simulation failed】

【Simulation failed】

……

Even though Zhao Meng had already simulated a starfish and used his personal intelligence to the extreme, he still experienced several failures in the plankton stage of starfish larvae before he entered the simulation on the right track.

After all, plankton, as grass in the ocean, is the food for most living things.

Once Zhao Meng was even swallowed by a baleen whale that preyed on shrimps, and finally turned into the nutrition of the baleen whale.

As Fuyou, he constantly realized the weakness of his personal power in the face of the general situation.

Fortunately, after constant attempts, he finally entered the normal process.

Time goes by little by little...

[January of the third year, you are an adult, what instinct drives you to look for]

Sensing the current state, Zhao Meng let out a long breath of relief.

Once a starfish becomes an adult, its survivability will be greatly enhanced, even if a part of its body is bitten off, it can still recover.

"It will definitely succeed this time."

With the previous experience, he began to look for a place to live after waving his arms and legs to complete the responsibilities of a male starfish.

……

[In April of the sixth year, you were attacked by sea otters, but you survived smoothly. 】

Zhao Meng, who was hiding at the bottom of the sea, was recovering from his injuries.

He originally wanted to hide in the deep seabed, but there were some strange molluscs that could prey on starfish,
Molluscs in those areas would kill him, compared to sea otters, which only bite part of the way,
As for the deeper sea area, where starfish cannot survive, the lesser of two evils, Zhao Meng still chose a sea area that is neither deep nor shallow.

Unexpectedly, under the influence of the undercurrent, he accidentally floated out.

"It's really careless!"

[July of the eighth year, breeding...]

As for the appeal of the body, Zhao Meng resolutely refused.

[No. April 11, Call for Eating and Breeding]

"How long is the lifespan of this starfish?"

[No. 17 years...]

"I didn't expect to complete the finite automatic method of numeracy required for cultivation here, and the Nascent Soul is hopeful."

At this time, under a rock on the seabed, a unique starfish is crawling there,
This starfish is quite a circle bigger than those around it, but it is such a big starfish, but it hides under the stone and does not compete with other starfish for food on the bottom of the sea.

It appears to be lying flat.

"I didn't expect starfish to be so alive."

[No. 20 years, you feel the degradation of your body function, you are aging. 】

"Finally getting old!"

[No. 20, in May of the fourth year, your body functions cannot function normally due to aging. 】

At this moment, Zhao Meng can no longer feel the surrounding water flow, nor can he analyze the information in the water flow and perceive the surrounding environment.

He felt that his control over the starfish was gradually disappearing, and the five arms could no longer hold onto the rocks on the seabed tightly.

An undercurrent surged through, and his body slowly floated into the depths of the ocean.

Starfish is dead...

【Simulation success】
