According to the system introduction, Circle Three [Entering Nature] mainly implements the theory of equality of life.
In order to allow humans to truly empathize with animals and experience their lifestyle, players will randomly obtain an animal identity every day after entering Circle 3.
A truly immersive day spent with animals.
The animal identities are updated daily without any pattern.
And among the huge human population, there are animals that have replaced their human identity.
Players need to find a way to find the 'person' who has taken away their identity and exchange identities with him/her in order to pass circle three.
If [Fairy Tale World] basically simulates the real society, then [Into Nature] is definitely a complete simulation of the real society.
Su Jing even believes that it should replace the novice circle and become a real reality copy.
Since there is a binding relationship between Su Jing and ERROR, his animal identity automatically follows ERROR, and he is a fennec fox on the first day.
The system had a bit of goodwill and did not actually turn them into animals, but only made them grow the corresponding characteristics of the animals.
Otherwise, let alone completing the mission, being able to survive in the natural environment will become a huge problem that needs to be overcome.
Two big ears appeared on Su Jing's head, and his hands turned into fox paws covered with golden fur and had pink pads.
He looked at ERROR and found that ERROR's appearance had also changed.
The difference is that Su Jian has grown ears and claws, as if he has turned into a carefree little fox.
ERROR's pair of flaxen animal eyes are full of deterrence. He is the true lord of the desert. Even rattlesnakes are afraid of him.
"Although the bracelet is not working, we can communicate face to face, which is not too bad." ERROR quickly understood the situation and asked Su Qi, "Do you know anything about fennec foxes?"
Su Jing shook his head, and his ears trembled.
"I don't understand." As a string of newborn code, Su Jing didn't know much about humans, let alone a fox living in the desert?
ERROR guessed so and briefly introduced it to him.
"Fennec foxes are very small, one of the smallest canids in the world, about the same size as a pet cat. They mainly live in desert areas and usually forage at night. Their diet mainly consists of fruits and small animals, and they do not have a dominant position in the food chain."
Su Qi murmured, "The food chain."
"You should know about the food chain, right?"
"I still know the common sense: big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp."
"How clever," ERROR complimented him halfheartedly, then continued, "We're in a very small position right now. The system allows us to immerse ourselves in nature, and in nature, there must be a relationship between predators and prey."
"IF" is not a peaceful and happy social game. From the beginning of the game to now, even the most low-key players have accumulated a lot of hatred points.
Moreover, players can also obtain equipment and points by killing other players, which is a huge temptation for them.
In the previous few rounds, there were no large-scale fights between players, partly because there was no environment for them to fight.
Second, players with concentrated hatred values mostly have high levels and high skills, while low-level players can only hold their hatred in their hearts.
At the beginning of the third circle, wristbands were banned and they were arranged into a food chain.
The closer you are to the top of the food chain, the stronger your innate advantages will be. It is not a foolish dream to defeat the powerful with the weak.
Su Jing figured this out and looked at the ear on ERROR's head again.
Even with ears, ERROR is still majestic, and it still cannot change the fact that he is a fennec fox.
The powerful fennec fox can defeat poisonous snakes, but in front of large animals, it is just a powerless little brother.
Think about it again, this guy has no skills or weapons, and points are deducted every time he passes a level.
——Isn’t it true that I’m being targeted by the system?
There was a moment when Su Jing regretted being bound to him.
"What were you thinking just now?" ERROR seemed to see through him.
"I'm not thinking anything!" Su Qi changed the subject guiltily, "Let's go find Yu Qi Miao. Maybe they can become powerful animals and protect us."
"You..." ERROR stared at Su Jing, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
He should have told Su Jian not to trust his companions too much.
The Orphan Alliance was a temporary guild formed after entering the game. While the members of the guild appeared to be getting along peacefully, who knew what they were really thinking.
However, ERROR stared at Su Jian for a while, but ultimately did not express his thoughts.
Being immersed in beautiful dreams forever is another kind of reality.
Isn’t it enough as long as the dream never ends?
[Into Nature] prohibits players from using bracelets, but Su Jian is an NPC, so the bracelets are not restricted.
He opened the control panel and found that Yu Qisiao and the others' wristbands could not detect them, so he could not determine their exact location. But Su Qi was no longer the same Su Qi now!
He has a 'huge' KPI, as well as props and a small cape stolen from a fairy tale princess, which greatly enhances his abilities.
Su Qi shook his magic wand and muttered to himself, "Tell me quickly, where is Yu Qi Miao?"
ERROR chuckled. "Shouldn't you add a password? Like, 'Heaven, earth, spirit, spirit,'"
"That's right!" Su Qiong didn't hear the sarcasm and thought ERROR was kindly reminding him, so he read it again, "Heaven and earth, where is Yu Qi Miao?"
He looks doubly adorable holding the magic wand in his two paws.
The fox's actions were outrageous.
What’s even more outrageous is that this method actually works.
One of the pink diamonds flew out, its tip pointing to a certain location.
"Wow! The princess's tools are really useful. Let's go find the fish for seven seconds!"
"Okay." ERROR followed him and asked, "Why did you look for him first?"
"Why?" Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "Because he is the first human being I met in the game."
"Just because of this?" ERROR narrowed his eyes.
Is it because I came too late?
"He takes good care of me, isn't that enough?"
"I take good care of you, too." ERROR couldn't help but feel sad when he said this.
They just started to bond and their intimacy was only 0.02%.
Su Jing shook his head, "It's different."
ERROR knows that it is important to stop when the time is right, as further questions may annoy people.
But ERROR added, "What's the difference?"
Su Qiong frowned and thought seriously for a while before saying, "He has a warm smell that makes me want to get closer."
"Oh." ERROR responded dryly.
This wave is self-humiliating.
The silence lasted for two minutes, and Su Jing suddenly spoke again.
"You..." Su Qiong rarely expressed his feelings. He unskillfully arranged his words and said slowly, "You're so strange. You feel like you don't belong to this world."
"Like this." A hint of helplessness flashed in ERROR's eyes.
"But I don't belong to this world either." Su Qiong said cheerfully, "So, I want to learn more about the warmth and beauty of this world, and then tell you about it."
ERROR didn't say anything else and just stared at him for a while.
Su Jing thought he was going to rub his hair again like before, so he quickly covered his head.
He doesn't mind having his hair rubbed, but now that he has ears on his head, it hurts if he uses too much force.
ERROR's hand fell, and he didn't rub his ears, but just lightly supported the back of Su Jing's head.
Then she leaned over and kissed him lightly between the eyebrows, like a dragonfly touching the water, leaving immediately.
Su Jing was stunned for a moment before he reacted and freed one hand to press on his eyebrows.
"Kiss me."
"Isn't it possible?" There was a smile in ERROR's eyes, and he seemed very happy.
However, the next second, he was no longer happy.
Su Jian muttered, "You said before that you gave me this body, so does this count as kissing your own work? My true self is like a string of code. Do you want to kiss the characters of the code?"
“…”ERROR silence.
The first time he kissed Su Jian, he thought Marshmallow would be a little shy, but the reality was unexpected.
After going around in circles, even ERROR began to wonder what on earth he had kissed.
Finally, ERROR gave up.
"Let's go." ERROR stopped struggling. "Go find some fish in seven seconds."
Yu Qi Miao was not far away, at the junction of the desert and grassland, and turned into a caracal.
Although his name is "cat," which sounds weaker than a fox, he is actually a more aggressive subspecies of cat, and his combat power is stronger than Su Cang and ERROR.
Although it is not too strong in the food chain, the fish's ability of seven seconds is enough to save its life.
Seeing Su Jing, Yu Qimiao breathed a sigh of relief.
He has always been calm and at ease.
But when a person is transported to an unfamiliar environment, he really doesn't feel safe.
I still remember when I first entered "IF", Yu Qi Miao knew nothing about the game, but he didn't feel scared.
However, after a period of time, he gradually got used to being with his teammates. Suddenly losing contact, Yu Qimiao was left alone to face the dangerous dungeon, which was of course terrifying.
"The bracelet doesn't work, how did you find me?"
Su Qi pointed at the pink diamond and said, "Use this. I still need to find other people."
"I don't know what has become of them. We need to find them as soon as possible."
Su Jian nodded, "Okay."
Perhaps because the system takes into account that they are from the same guild, the teleportation distance is not too far.
While on the road, Yu Qimiao hurriedly shared the information he had collected.
"There are many players in this land. They retain human features on the outside, but when fighting, they possess animal nature."
Su Qiong had just discussed this with ERROR and guessed this, "Food chain, right?"
"Yes, I just saw a low-level player who turned into a rhino push a high-level player who turned into a crocodile into the water. The high-level player fought back desperately, but was still tortured half to death. He only survived with the help of his guildmates."
really.
The food chain can largely offset the level gap.
"Did you trigger the side quest?"
Su Jian replied, "No."
"Neither have I."
"The side quest in this world might be to have players kill each other."
"I really don't want to think that." Yu Qimiao sighed, "Let's go find A first."
They found A and were amazed by his appearance.
A is good-looking to begin with, and even fits the image of a "beauty" better than Yu Qimiao.
Because his fighting ability is so strong, people ignore his appearance.
After entering Circle 3, A entered the depths of the rainforest and transformed into a beautiful peacock. Although his arms did not transform into wings and a tail did not grow from his back, a peacock mark appeared between his eyebrows, and his clothes also became colorful, similar to peacock feathers.
It is a wild green peacock with eyes as beautiful as gems.
Behind him, two figures and a tuft of gray fur could be vaguely seen.
Moi and Qiyi turned into two cute twin koalas.
Qi Yi seemed to have just been bullied. There was a piece of hair missing from her ear and her eyes were red from crying.
"A, why are you with them?"
Su Qi saw Qi Yi's miserable state and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"We turned into koalas and didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a player rushed out and attacked us directly." Qi Yi held back her tears and answered as calmly as possible. "I asked Moi to run away as far as possible while I fought the player myself. He was much stronger than me, and I almost got bitten on the neck. Then, A showed up and saved our lives."
"That's it." A concluded succinctly.
"How did you find them?" ERROR was curious, "Your bracelet isn't disabled?"
We are both players, why is A so much luckier than me?
A glanced at him and said coldly, "I am a peacock. I can fly."
Realizing this, he flew to a high place to look for Su Jian.
As a result, Su Jing was not seen, but Moi and Qi Yi were seen hanging by a thread.
A is not a helpful person, and he has no sense of group belonging. Moreover, he knows that Gemini has skills, so the death of one is no big deal.
But A circled for a few tenths of a second and decided to rush down to rescue Qi Yi.
After all, we know each other.
If she died, Su Jing would definitely be sad.
A convinces himself like this.
"It's so convenient to be a bird."
ERROR once again felt the system's malice towards him.
"Wow!" Su Qiong always liked beautiful things and was immediately attracted by the beautiful peacock. He circled around A and said, "You are so beautiful! Can you spread your feathers?"
"I don't have tail feathers, but..." A raised his arm, reached into his slightly long hair, and actually pulled out a feather and handed it to Su Jing.
His feathers were of a radiant luster, more beautiful than the finest brocade.
"I don't know if it will lose its effect tomorrow." A will change species tomorrow, and perhaps the pulled-out hair will turn into something else.
"Thank you, I like it very much!" Su Qi put the feather away. "I'll put it in the prop space. It will definitely not lose its effect. Otherwise..."
Otherwise he would curse the system!
system:……
It's my fault again.
ERROR I feel inexplicably angry.
Is it amazing to turn into a peacock?
Why can't he do it?
Su Qiong: "Next, our Orphan Alliance is still short of two people. Who should we look for first?"
He naturally used 'we', implicitly acknowledging that he was part of the guild.
"Lu Shufan," Yu Qimiao said, "Shi Yuntian must have been fighting with some other animal."
"Well."
"President Yu, you are too conservative. It should be 100%."
"As expected of him."
Once you get to know Lu Shufan, you will realize that he is just good at talking big and courting disaster.
He was teleported to an unfamiliar environment alone, feeling extremely timid. Unfortunately, he turned into a sloth that was not good at sports and had very low attack power. He had no choice but to hide in a tree hole and wait for his companions to find him.
When Lu Shufan saw Su Jing's magic wand, he almost cried out of excitement.
However, when he crawled out of the tree hole, he found that he was the second one to be found, and his mood immediately fell to the bottom.
"Little snack, am I so unimportant to you?"
"No." Su Jing denied.
Lu Shufan was just about to feel happier when he heard Su Jian continue, "But, they are more important than you."
Lu Shufan: ...
Break off relations!
Break up now!
Seeing this, Yu Qimiao said, "And there's Shi Yuntian."
"That's right!" Lu Shufan was inexplicably proud. "There's Boss Shi at the bottom, so I'm not the last one."
The others looked at him with pity.
Only slightly better than Shi Yuntian, I don’t know what there is to be happy about.
Su Jing once again used the guidance function of the pink diamond to find the location of Shi Yuntian.
As a result, the rhinestone fragments shook up and down and refused to settle down.
"What's going on?"
"It must be that Shi Yuntian has been moving all the time, so the direction is confused."
"He wouldn't..."
"It shouldn't be removed." Lu Shufan said with disdain, "Boss Shi is just a lunatic whose mind is only filled with violence and killing!"
Su Jing tried hard to control the pink diamond, and finally found the location of Shi Yuntian in the crazy shaking.
They rushed to the vicinity of Shi Yuntian and smelled a bloody smell from afar.
Shi Yuntian turned into an agile cheetah, moving very fast, leaving almost no trace wherever he went.
How to say it.
Very much in keeping with his species.
Seeing his teammates, Shi Yuntian, covered in blood, waved at them, "Come on, do you want to eat?"
Everyone then noticed that although there was blood all around Shi Yuntian, there were only the remains of large animals and no player corpses.
He really wanted to have a big fight with the players, but considering that all the players of "IF" were Su Jing's reserve food, he didn't do it.
It is a rare opportunity to turn into a cheetah, so Shi Yuntian must of course follow the habits of animals and challenge the overlord of the animal world - Xiong Shi!
The unfortunate lion never thought that just by urinating in its own territory to mark it, it would become Shi Yuntian's target.
A strong adult lion would not take a cheetah seriously, and an ordinary cheetah would not be able to attack a lion alone.
Little did it know that there was a mad leopard in the world that forced it into a desperate situation and forced it to flee everywhere, only to have its throat tragically bitten off in the end.
Shi Yuntian built a bonfire and invited his friends to share his spoils.
"Eat as much as you want. If it's not enough, there's more." Shi Yuntian said in a heroic tone, as if the whole world was the kitchen of his restaurant.
As for the order in which Su Jian looked for him, Shi Yuntian didn't pay attention at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.
He looked at his companions and said cheerfully, "You all have become so weak? Don't worry, I've got you covered!"
Shi Yuntian patted his chest, feeling very proud.
This group of people always complained about him being stupid, but now, in this world of natural selection, what’s the use of relying on brains?
Circle three is destined to be Shi Yuntian’s territory!
Shi Yuntian didn't feel proud for long before he heard Su Qiong say, "We need to complete the main mission and find a way to get closer to humans."
"Right," Yu Qi Miao agreed. "As I've traveled along, I've noticed that all the players have transformed into animals, living far away from humans. How to get closer to humans is the first issue we need to consider."
Hearing the word "consider", Shi Yuntian knew that his dream of dominating "IF" was shattered again.
What does the natural world know about brains? It’s so annoying!
"Besides, except for A, we are all land animals."
"If I'm not mistaken, this copy is also cooperative."
"The problem is we have to transfer every day and get a new ID. We waste time looking for each other. It's a huge waste of time."
Su Qiong proposed a solution, "We will collect clues today and look for ways to contact humans. At the same time, we will find a safe place and gather there tomorrow."
"agree."
The players reached a consensus and decided to collect clues everywhere to see how to reach human society.
Animals have no public transportation or maps and can only find their way around on their own.
Although Su Jian's magic wand can point the way, it can only lead him to people he knows. When it comes to the main quest, Pink Diamond is powerless.
Everyone had to collect clues separately. Considering the existence of the food chain, the eight members were divided into three groups, each with a stronger person.
The two weak fennec foxes, Su Jing and ERROR, are under the care of the most powerful Shi Yuntian.
Shi Yuntian looked at ERROR's ears, then at its sharp claws, feeling incredible.
From the first time he saw ERROR, Shi Yuntian knew that he was very strong, the kind of strong that was invincible.
Unexpectedly, things change and one day it is my turn to protect ERROR.
"ERROR, I heard you're pretty cool." Shi Yuntian said fearlessly, "Call me Boss Shi, and I'll protect you."
ERROR didn't bother to look at him, and turned to Su Qiong and asked, "It's enough for the two of us to find the clues, right?"
Su Qi thought for a moment and said, "That's enough."
Even with Shi Yuntian's brain, he couldn't help.
"Hey!" Shi Yuntian got anxious and chased after them, shouting, "I was just kidding. How come you don't have any sense of humor?"
ERROR and Su Jing walked side by side in front, pretending to ignore Shi Yuntian.
Not far away, I met an acquaintance.
Su Jing said that the system gives preferential treatment to high-level players and will not give them a hellish start.
Except ERROR, of course.
Take A for example. When he came into nature, the system did not turn him into the most powerful animal, but gave him the ability to fly.
The current number one on the list, Xi Huaiji, the president of Jijing, naturally enjoys the highest treatment. She starts out as one of the most powerful animals, a tiger with a beautiful golden shaded coat.
As animals themselves, they can feel the oppression from their natural enemies.
There were a few people around Xi Huaiji, all of whom were members of the Jijing Guild, and they sought refuge from the captain.
Seeing Su Jing, Xi Huaiji came over and greeted him.
"Hi."
"Su Jing, don't go." Shi Yuntian warned, "She's so powerful, she can kill you in one go."
"It's okay." Su Qiong expressed fearlessness, "We know each other, she won't do anything to me."
Su Jing walked towards Xi Huaiji and stopped when he was only about half a meter away from her.
"Do you want to exchange information with me?" Su Jing asked.
Xi Huaiji looked at the person behind Su Qiong and said meaningfully, "My cooperation with your guild has ended."
Now, everyone in IF knows that Su Jian is the Orphan Alliance's exclusive NPC. Tell him the information, and he'll definitely share it with Yu Qi Miao and the others immediately.
"Besides, you entered the dungeon the latest. What kind of information could you possibly have?"
"Indeed, not really," Su Qiong admitted honestly, and then added, "But, if I find any information later, I can share it with you."
Xi Huaiji hadn't spoken yet, and the two members behind her couldn't stand it anymore.
"You just want to get something for nothing!"
"President, don't agree to him!"
"Quiet." Xi Huaiji signaled them to stop talking and continued to ask Su Qiong, "This condition is unfair to me. Why should I agree to it?"
"It's fair."
"How do you measure fairness? Using a fish seven-second black-hearted trading bag?"
The black-hearted trading bag claims to be fair, but it is itself the greatest unfairness.
"We can agree that we will never attack each other in the world of Circle Three." Su Qi asked, "You should know about the food chain, right?"
"I know. I'm higher up the food chain than all of you."
"So, what about tomorrow?"
Xi Huaiji was silent.
Indeed, her current position is higher than that of other players.
This is a preferential treatment given by the system to advanced players to protect them from dying at the start of the game.
But at the same time, there are also great disadvantages.
"IF" is a fair game. It will not let players always be at the highest point, nor will it let players always stay at the lowest point.
In the next few days, Xi Huaiji will inevitably face an unfavorable situation.
Players who have just entered the game are often reluctant to attack. But this cycle will last for ten days, and who knows what will happen next.
The reason why advanced players become advanced players is not only because of their high level, but also because they have powerful tactics.
Each member of the Orphan Alliance is a tough guy. If they really fight according to the food chain in the future, they will become very difficult to deal with.
not to mention--
Su Jian's skills are not restricted.
When all players are unable to use their skills, his magic wand can turn into a spirit-summoning banner at any time.
"Deal." Xi Huaiji agreed to Su Jian's request and proposed a condition, "But you must tell me the clues you get first, and I will decide what clues to exchange for it."
The Jijing family is wealthy and powerful, with many experts, so naturally they have more clues than the Orphan Alliance.
"Okay." Su Jing nodded.
"Let's go." Xi Huaiji called Su Qiong, and at the same time looked at Shi Yuntian and ERROR, "There are two melee areas ahead. I will escort you there."
"The melee is starting so soon?" Shi Yuntian wanted to join in.
Xi Huaiji said calmly, "They are all lunatics with unclear minds who just want to quickly eliminate those who dissidents."
Shi Yuntian: ...
I was scolded again.
"Before you arrived, members of the Extreme Realm had already explored it. The deserts, forests, and grasslands are all vast, and the scenery is monotonous, making it very easy to get lost. Without guidance, we can't reach the human living area."
"Is there no way at all?"
"Not really," Xi Huaiji said, "According to my speculation, there are two ways to find humans. One is to find humans in the wild, and the other is to find a way to have humans take us to a big city."
"Are there humans in the wild?"
"You really don't understand human society at all." Xi Huaiji glanced at him. "Some humans are full of perverted voyeurism and love to secretly observe the lives of animals. Look for hidden cameras in their habitats, you might find something unexpected."
"I see. Thank you."
When they were about to separate, Su Qi suddenly called Xi Huaiji and asked, "Will you join in the fight?"
“I have to get through this game.”
If the main quest requires her to fight, Xi Huaiji will pick up the golden hairpin without hesitation.
"That's good." Su Jing waved to Xi Huaiji as if he had received some promise.
ERROR then asked, "Are you familiar with her?"
"I'm not familiar with her." Su Qi answered frankly, "But she is very beautiful."
ERROR is speechless.
Don't underestimate the bottom line of a face control person.
Following Xi Huaiji's reminder, they not only looked for ways to leave the natural environment, but also paid attention to whether there were any traces of humans along the way.
After passing through another chaotic area, Su Jing finally found it.
"ERROR, is that a camera?" Su Jian pointed somewhere.
ERROR took a closer look and found that it was indeed a stone. The surface was made exactly like a stone, and it would be difficult to find it if it was dropped on the ground.
At the same time, the humans hiding behind the camera and observing made calls one after another.
"Oh my god, it's a fennec fox! So cute!"
"This kind of fox usually lives in the desert, why did it appear here?"
Hearing the word "desert", someone in the observation team couldn't help but shudder.
——Its hometown is so far away, a human whose identity has been taken away shouldn’t appear here, right?
Just when it was feeling hopeless, a devilish system voice rang out.
[System: Do you want to return to an environment filled with predators, injuries, and hunger?]
[System: As long as you kill the human whose identity you took away, you can have your current life forever.]
[System: We are all born equal. Awaken the beast/nature deep within your soul and fight for yourself.]
