Chapter 157 Dimensional Reduction Delivery
The same-city express delivery arrived the next day.
Lu Yao opened the carton and found a small breathable plastic box inside.
There are a few small red insects in the box. They are small, with arched backs that look like scoops, and seven black spots on their elytra.
This is the target Lu Yao finally determined: the seven-spotted ladybug.
In the past, the things he bestowed on the temple through the simulator were either seeds and fruits or various tools.
But animals never have.
Now that peace has basically returned to the pixel world, we can conduct further experiments.
Lu Yao thought about it for a long time.
As the first animal to be released into the pixel world, it would be best if it is smaller in size, simpler in structure, less aggressive, and less destructive to the environment.
After a round of screening, he set his eyes on the ladybug.
This tiny insect feeds primarily on aphids, one of the most destructive pests of all crops.
In addition, the seven-spotted ladybug is relatively small in size. It is not as fierce as longhorn beetles and mantises, nor does it have the strong sociality and mobility of ants, so it is a relatively suitable target for release.
But after all, it was the first time to release insects, so Lu Yao was still a little nervous.
The garlic, wheat, and grapes were all normal before, but this time it's hard to say. It's theoretically possible that they will mutate into super monsters after entering.
Before officially bestowing the honor, Lu Yao took a series of safeguards.
In the temples of the three cities, there are powerful apostles standing by: Salina guards Yao City, the Blood Knight sits in Yan City, and Philus is stationed in Saniro.
Isabel is a mobile team member, ready to provide support to any place at any time.
Once the ladybugs mutate into monsters and wreak havoc around, they can immediately take action to control the situation.
…
Lu Yao grabbed the smallest and slowest ladybug and placed it carefully on the mouse.
After a moment, a dim ladybug icon appeared in the [Gift] column of the temple, showing as [Unknown Ladybug], with a small green progress bar below.
A paragraph of text appears in the simulator.
[Unknown ladybug is reducing its dimension...]
This is different from plants and basic props, which appear directly.
The progress bar is getting brighter little by little.
Lu Yao paid attention throughout the process.
About a minute later, the progress bar finished reading, but there was no follow-up.
Lu Yao waited for a while, moved the mouse, and found that he could click on the ladybug in [Gift] and drag it out of the temple.
He selected the ladybug and landed on a small southern island, then double-clicked and released it.
A new prompt popped up on the screen.
【An unknown ladybug has entered this world. 】
The little ladybug immediately came to life.
It flapped its wings and crawled unsteadily on the ground. The ladybug's body continued to swell until it became about the size of a dog, and then it stabilized.
In the pixel screen, it looks harmless.
Even so, Isabel followed it closely, guarding against this special insect.
Lu Yao clicked the ladybug with his mouse.
…
【Unknown Ladybug LV1】
HP: 42/42Mana : 1/ 1Damage: 2Defense : 5Speed : 6 [Sleep]
Hibernation can reduce various consumption and prolong life.
…
A completely new kind of extraordinary creature was born.
Lu Yao continued to follow and observe.
The dormant ladybug circled around the island and then went into a bush. After a while, it flew out and ran towards a forest.
As if it had found some edible insects among the plants, it quickly filled its stomach and then lay down in the bushes with the word "dormant" displayed on its head.
After experiments, Lu Yao came to a preliminary conclusion: the gift of animals is more complex than that of plants.
When animals from higher dimensions enter the pixel world of lower dimensions, they will undergo a process of dimensionality reduction due to the power of rules.
After the dimensionality reduction, some subtle changes will occur. The result is that ordinary high-dimensional life will be transformed into local extraordinary creatures.
Lu Yao went to the bathroom and when he came back he found an extra prompt on the game interface.
[Unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world. 】
Hmm? Lu Yao clicked the prompt.
The scene immediately jumped to a corner of the island.
Here are two turkeys pecking at prey on the ground. Judging from the scattered remains, the prey is a dormant ladybug.
Lu Yao scratched his head.
This was the first time I encountered a situation where integration failed.
On the other hand, the believers in the city were completely unaware of the targeted release and even death of animals.
Lu Yao began to release the second ladybug.
[Unknown ladybug is reducing its dimension...]
The progress bar ends.
…
【Unknown Ladybug LV1】
HP: 36/ 36Mana: 1/ 1Damage: 2Defense : 3Speed: 6 [Anesthesia]
Sprays an irritating toxin, temporarily paralyzing the enemy.
…
The same species of insects produced different results.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
It seems that dimensionality reduction has a certain randomness.
Lu Yao continued to wait.
Five minutes later.
[Unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world. 】
Unlike before, this time the anesthetized ladybug was very aggressive and immediately targeted the man-eating crabs resting on the beach. It did successfully capture one with the help of anesthesia and ate it.
But in the second action, the anesthetized ladybug was beaten up by a group of people, leaving only the elytra fragments on the ground.
Lu Yao started his third attempt.
Another ladybug was born, and soon it was killed with spears by several islanders because of its sleepiness.
Failed again.
Lu Yao tried the nineteenth one in a row.
Finally, the third species of ladybug was born.
…
【Unknown Ladybug LV1】
HP: 40/40 Mana: 1/1 Damage: 1 Defense: 3 Speed: 7 [Musk]
It secretes a special musk with a strong fragrance, which makes the surrounding creatures feel happy.
…
This time Lu Yao was on guard the whole time.
Unlike the two previous explorers, the musk ladybug itself is not aggressive, nor lazy. It is like a bird with an insect-like appearance, flying around the island, and resting on the tree when tired.
The ladybug attracted the man-eating crabs on the beach and the turkeys further inland. Both animals were eyeing it covetously, and a fight broke out among themselves.
In the end, the man-eating crabs won by virtue of their numbers.
The crabs did not attack the musk beetles, but stayed and rested where the beetles appeared.
Gradually, the ladybugs were no longer afraid of them, and before long, new musk ladybugs were born. Lu Yao didn't know whether it was a hybrid of ladybugs and other insects... In short, the musk ladybugs miraculously gained a foothold on this island.
The simulator gives a belated reminder.
【The unknown ladybug successfully integrated into the world. 】
You named it ___.
success!
The most popular ladybug has adapted to the new world after dimensionality reduction.
Lu Yao named it Musk Ladybird.
The remaining ladybugs were sent in one after another at once, but only a few [Musk Ladybugs] were successful, and all other species failed to be integrated.
He twisted his wrist tiredly.
It takes so much effort and effort just to release a ladybug.
In the myth, Nuwa used clay to mold people, made musical instruments, arranged marriages for men and women, and worked hard to mend the sky. She was really dedicated...
Wait.
Lu Yao couldn't help thinking: Could Nuwa be a higher-dimensional player? Just then, a new prompt suddenly appeared in the game interface.
[Shang Ji wrote the first book about insects, "Ladybugs."]
Business plan?
Isn't this the name of the villain who is the leader of the slave traders? Lu Yao clicked on the name in the reminder column.
The scene jumps to a small island not far away.
Shangji's feet were tied with ropes and he was picking cotton on the ground when he was whipped with a whip by a young islander.
A prayer box appears above the head of this former slave trader, now an old man.
"My Lord God, a sinner like me dare not ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that you can bless and have mercy on me and send this book I wrote back safely so that everyone can see it..."
Thanks: Pan PPP supported 500 Qidian coins, and the eight-star hotel supported 100 Qidian coins.
