Spore Story

Chapter 29 Evolution Editing... Growth

[The main consciousness chooses to reproduce, has it entered the reproductive period of the race? 】

"Yes"

[Entering the race breeding period, race creatures begin to accumulate nutritional value to reproduce. 】

It feels like the nutrients in the body are beginning to gather in one place, although it has happened once, but for the fact that he was pregnant, Kong Huan is still very entangled.Fortunately, although the gestation time this time was not short, the food reserves almost met the needs of the lightning bugs, and there were no creatures around who liked to eat spore sauce to make trouble.

"Sure enough, a good breeding ground is very important."

Carefully collect plants not far from the hiding place to meet the basic nutrient consumption. After a period of time, all the lightning bugs successfully produced a bunch of spores.

Without the leadership of the thunderbolt, the thunderbolts are just ordinary mild soft-bodied creatures with strong attack capabilities due to physical reasons, and will not actively attack other creatures, so the thunderbolts did not let the thunderbolts hunt on their own, but let the spores The lightning bugs center on their nests, spread a certain distance to look for food, and at the same time defend the nests from predators encountered during lightning.

I feel that the few remaining food reserves plus the surrounding plankton and plants can almost meet the needs of the spores and lightning worms during this time. I am instructing the lightning worms to chew up the food reserves so that the newborn little lightning worms can swallow them Afterwards, Leiden chose a healthy spore and entered the biological editing space again.

……

[Entering the biological editing space, the original consciousness of the ontology is generated, and the main consciousness is transferred. 】

"I am back."

A voice of strength or weakness appeared in the bright space.

【Welcome back】

"Ah, good 8051. Let me rest for a while, I'm so tired."

……

"Then, let's take a look at my component harvest this time."

【

snails
Provided components: mollusk biological visceral system, blister eye

】

【

游鱼
Supplied components: lens eye

】

【

light beetle

Provided components: buttonholes, arthropods, hermaphrodite oviparous

】

……

"8051, biological components, the system is not fully provided for me to choose?"

[Well, I finally found it. 】

"What does it mean to finally discover? Even if snails don't have bones, they have hunted and killed many creatures that have bones at a glance during this period, such as light beetles, which should have them."

【Ok.Skeletal components do exist, but since you haven't completed this stage, you can't equip them.Plus they have other components that you don't, so the system brings up other options. 】

"Uh, that means I still have to evolve a skeleton myself."

[Yes, the condition for the completion of the stage is that the species must evolve to a certain extent by itself, and the phenomenon of completing the characteristics of this stage can only be done, that is, the critical point of evolution. 】

"Forget it, put it aside. So, is there any pattern for when creatures provide components? There are obviously many things that are not listed."

[Indeed, the number of components provided by a creature is not only related to your race, but also related to its level.Civilian level, no matter how different the creature is from you, you can only provide one or two components for you to choose; Miscellaneous level, provide two to four components, of course, if the difference is very small, there may be only one or no components to provide The situation occurs; the boss level, provides four to six components.In this way, each level is different by two. 】

"Trouble. Is there any principle for the selection of these components." Shaking the cotton candy-like consciousness, Kong Huan continued to ask.

[The general situation is to randomly select components that you do not have. One of the known special cases is that components that involve key points in stage evolution cannot be obtained.Please explore other special situations that may exist by yourself. 】

"Tch, it's like this again."

"By the way, can I make comments on the selection? This should not be restricted by the system."

[No, but under normal circumstances, the main consciousness chooses on its own to avoid being affected.Because as long as it is an independent consciousness, it has its own likes and dislikes. After asking other consciousnesses to provide suggestions, the result will not be as satisfying as the consciousness chooses by itself, no matter how good the result is. 8051 means feeling rogue about the ego of intelligent beings. 】

"To put it simply, whether it is good or bad, it is the problem of the main consciousness. If you don't participate, you will not bear any responsibility." Contempt ing—

【That's what I mean. 8051 replied calmly. 】

[However, I can give you some explanation. When a certain type of system appears in your optional components, unless there is a better similar system or the system is extremely unsuitable for you, then it is best to choose to equip this system.Of course, this is an explanation that can be provided in the system help, not our direct suggestion. 8051 hopes that the main consciousness will not associate it with 8051. 】

"Oh, I see."

"In this way, we have the lenticular eyes of swimming fish and the visceral system of snails. The rest of the living things are more or less repetitive or backward, and light beetles."

"Uh, play with me."

【Don't you want sexual reproduction? It just happened to appear. 8051 said gloatingly. 】

"Tch, you are deliberately mocking me, right, it must be like this."

"Androgynous, I might as well continue to be asexual, anyway..."

[Already... I have given birth a few times, and I don't care about a few more times, 8051 covered his mouth and laughed. 】

"Whispering, what do you mean by covering your mouth, you guy who doesn't even have hands."

【Just because you can't see it doesn't mean I don't have one. 】

"..."

[Don't want to ask anything, we won't tell you that, 8051 immediately blocks the main consciousness' intention to ask 8051 questions. 】

"Uh... well."

"Go on, then the light beetle will choose the arthropod."

【

Mollusc biological visceral system
Provide the complete internal organ system required by soft-bodied organisms, including the heart.

Requires: 200 (evolution value)
】

【

lens eye

Perfect vision system components, providing excellent vision

Requires: 50 (evolution value)
】

【

节肢
Mobile components consisting of exoskeletons, set in pairs on either side of the body.

Speed: +5
Requirements: 50 (evolution value), exoskeleton (not met)

】

"It's getting more and more expensive! Wait, 8051, how come there is an exoskeleton requirement for this jointed limb? Isn't it useless for me now?"

[Not currently, it will be available soon after it evolves. 8051 said contemptuously]

"..."

"In short, it has been determined that the key to evolution is the skeleton. But then again, how did the skeleton appear? All we see now are some exoskeletal beetles, and the main spine of the endoskeleton has not been seen yet. "

"Thinking about what I said before, it seems that the first skeleton appeared when the snail gathered minerals on the back. Do I have to do the same?"

Imagining himself wearing a heavy snail shell and appearing in a shallow sea dominated by lightly armored arthropods, Kong Huan lost any enthusiasm for snail shells.

"Well, forget it, let's go out and try this method this time. If it doesn't work, think about it. Let's see if the evolution value is enough to equip the first two."

【

Thunder Bug

Mollusc life body, soft body, species at the beginning of biological evolution.

Evolution value: 282
Life: 25/25

Race Rating: Boss

Long-term deep-sea hunting and the control of the main consciousness give your race a greater advantage in the shallow sea at night, but evolution is like sailing against the current. If you are content with the status quo, your race will only be eliminated in the end.There are more opportunities during the day, so keep trying.

】

"282, it looks like a lot more, but with the soft biological internal organs system, there is nothing left. I want to install the muscle fibers."

[To equip the mollusc biological viscera system, the gastric pouch and intestinal tract in the current body can be removed, because it is repeated. 8051 couldn't help reminding. 】

"Hey, so that's the case. Thanks 8051."

"Then plus the 100 points obtained from the removal, there are 382 points. It seems that the harvest during this period of time is not bad. It just happened to install the soft biological internal organs system, muscle fibers and lens eyes."

"Uh, wait, I can only press one."

First remove the stomach pouch and intestines on the stereoscopic image, and get 100 points back.Then install the mollusk biological viscera system, so there are 82 points left.

"So hard to see the world with one eye?"

After being blind for such a long time, he finally got his eyes, and in the end he had to start with one eye, which made Kong Huan extremely depressed.

"Leaving aside the question of whether it can adapt, the perspective of one eye can't play the role of remote detection, early warning and positioning of the eye at all."

Turning our attention to stereoscopic images, Illusion considered how to equip these components.As for whether the equipment of the internal organs system of the mollusk is suitable, let alone 8051, ah no, it is the reminder of the system help, "Cut, aren't you the system help." Wu Huan discussed in the depths of his consciousness.Just looking at the relatively complete heart in the internal organ system, compared to when I didn't even have a decent heart before, if I install it, it will definitely provide me with higher endurance.Thinking about having to stop and rest after exercising for a while, it is difficult to accept the fantasy of speed and protracted warfare.

"Ah, I'm an idiot. I just noticed that the gastric pouch and intestinal tract can be removed after the soft-bodied biological viscera system is equipped, and the lens eye is equipped. Will the outdated equipment such as the socket eye be retired soon?"

"In this way, the two sockets will have 40 points, plus the remaining evolutionary value and the two lens eyes, there will be 22 points left."

Looking at the component display box again, the flagella and unnecessary sockets are the only ones that can be bought at 22:[-].

"Install a flagellum first, and just replace it when you come in next time. Now it's one more component and more power."

In line with the principle of not wasting a penny, Konghuan chose the flagellum that can at least start to regulate the body.

After confirming the installation, Void Immediately installed two lens eyes on both sides of the front end. Due to the shape, the front end is within the vision range of the lens eyes at about 160 degrees.

Then move the new flagella next to the flagella behind you, adjust the two flagella to be symmetrical with the midline of the body, protrude to the left and right sides, then stretch them out, and at the same time slightly flatten them, the shape is similar to the tail of an airplane, so that the flagella It can better complete the task of tail rudder.

Then, the body shape of each part of the body was slightly adjusted and modified based on the experience of previous water activities, making the body shape smoother, and it could not be further improved without the support of bones.

"In this way, this edit is almost complete."

"I have to go back to that place again."

【What, are you scared? 】

"No, although it is dangerous and tiring, it feels very fulfilling." This is the true feeling of emptiness. "I used to live with nothing to do every day. Even if I had something to do, I didn't want to do it. It seemed that I had no sense of existence. But now I am careful and vigilant all the time every day. If I don't pay attention, I will lose my life. It looks tired, but I feel that I have a goal. Survival It makes sense."

【M】

"what?"

[What, what, I didn't say anything. 】

Doubt ing...

"Well, although death can transfer consciousness, even if you don't count the mental power loss problem you mentioned, it feels uncomfortable every time you face death, and I'm not the kind of strongman who gets used to dying and dying. what."

"Well, generally speaking, I'm just a lazy person who is afraid of death and thinks wildly when I have nothing to do."

"But as long as you live enough, it's fine, and now watching the race evolve step by step under my control, doesn't it feel like an upgrade, hahaha."

【…】

[Then, let's continue to work hard. 】

"Ah."

[Then, name the new race. 】

"Uh, you can't make me feel more emotional."

Speechlessly staring at the pop-up naming box, 'Lightning Bug' gradually appeared.

【

】

[The name is as ordinary as ever. 】

"If you want to tell me, the reviews are as normal as ever."

[It's not my comment, 8051 said that he is a crowd of onlookers who don't know the truth. 】

"Hmph, anyway, I just don't know how to choose a name. And isn't this name very representative?"

"But still the leader."

[Because you are evolving, the enemy is also evolving.It's fine if you don't downgrade.So, confirmation done? 】

"Um……"

"It's almost done. This time I went out to try to evolve the skeleton."

"Then see you later."

[Species editing is complete, exit the creature editing space. 】

[In order to satisfy more complex body systems, the brain evolved again. 】
