Chapter 19 The Origin of Life
[Survival of the fittest: Your life essence is superior to all creatures, and you can devour the life essence of other creatures to promote your own evolution.]
The moment he saw this text message, the first thought that came to Lin Zichen’s mind was: - There are high and low lives.
It feels like returning to the original nature.
Survival of the fittest.
However, he didn't think too much about it, and soon his mind focused on the four words "origin of life".
The origin of life?
What does this mean?
Lin Zichen suddenly thought of the animal teeth that the white-haired girl gave to him and Shen Qinghan. He remembered that when he was studying animal teeth before, he found that they contained vigorous vitality.
So, he looked at Shen Qinghan who was walking and humming a song and asked:
"Hanhan, can you take out your fangs and show them to me?"
"Why do you suddenly want to see animal fangs?"
Shen Qinghan obediently took off the fang and handed it to him, asking with some confusion.
Lin Zichen made up an excuse: "I think the material of this animal tusk is quite good. I want to see if I can process it into jewelry for you."
"Ah?" Shen Qinghan was a little surprised when he heard this, and then said with embarrassment: "Xiaochen, this is a gift from Bai Xue to us. It's not good to process it into something else without permission."
"Yes, then I won't process it."
Lin Zichen spoke casually, his attention completely focused on the animal tooth in his hand, trying to feel the vigorous vitality contained within it.
The moment he felt the vitality, the palm of his hand holding the fang suddenly felt hot, and the next moment, the vitality of the fang flowed into his palm.
At the same time, several text messages appeared in the void.
[You devoured a trace of the life essence of the "Abyss Giant Butterfly"]
[Abyss Giant Butterfly Album: 1%]
[When the album progress bar reaches 100%, some attributes or skills of the corresponding beast can be evolved]
Could this be a butterfly's tooth?
After reading the text message, Lin Zichen looked down at the animal tooth on his hand, which was as thick as his little finger. He felt his eyes were opened and it was incredible.
All I can say is that the strange beasts in this mutated Earth are all strange creatures, and it is difficult to view them with the knowledge of the previous life.
Soon, Lin Zichen's thoughts returned to the law of the jungle.
To put it simply, this attribute gives him the ability to become stronger by devouring other creatures.
He had many thoughts about this.
Is it possible to devour the life essence of animals that can be found everywhere, such as ants, mosquitoes, flies, and cockroaches, and thus obtain their attributes or skills?
For example... the tenacity of cockroaches?
After I get home, I'll have to find some small animals to test the attribute of "survival of the fittest".
"Xiaochen, don't you see this tusk every day? How come you're so obsessed with it now?"
Seeing Lin Zichen standing there blankly, his eyes fixed on the animal fang in his hand without any movement for a long time, Shen Qinghan felt very puzzled.
Hearing the sound, Lin Zichen regained consciousness from the void. Without much explanation, he returned the fang to Shen Qinghan with a casual remark and returned to the classroom with her.
Although the vitality of the animal tooth has been completely lost, it is different from flesh and blood and will not rot. It can still be preserved for a long time.
…
Soon, the two returned to the classroom.
As soon as he entered, Lin Zichen was shocked by the condition in his drawer.
The drawer, which was originally quite empty, was now filled with love letters, so full that not even a gap could be seen.
There is no need to think about it. It must be a girl who has a crush on him. She is embarrassed to give him a love letter in person, so she takes advantage of the fact that he is not in the classroom and stuffs a large number of love letters that have accumulated for a long time into his drawer.
After all, this is not the first time he has encountered this situation.
"So many love letters, how should I deal with this?"
Lin Zichen looked at the love letters in the drawer and felt very distressed for a moment.
At this moment, Shen Qinghan, who was standing next to him, handed him another love letter and said with a hint of gloating, "Before, when we were on the playground, the study committee member of the next class asked me to pass it to you. She was too embarrassed to come to you herself."
There is one more letter... Lin Zichen took the love letter from Shen Qinghan and felt even more distressed.
He sighed inwardly and cleared out all the love letters in the drawer.
During this time, I glanced at the handwriting on the cover and was surprised to find that it was not just a love letter from one person, but from more than a dozen people.
"These girls are quite good. They didn't throw away their competitors' love letters."
Lin Zichen smiled bitterly.
Then he folded all the love letters in his hand and planned to throw them away somewhere where no one was around.
Seeing this, Shen Qinghan immediately stopped him and said, "Xiaochen, please don't. If you throw away these love letters, how sad will the girls be if they find out? If you don't want them, I can keep them for you. Whenever you want to read them, you can always come to me and get them."
After saying that, she took all the love letters from Lin Zichen's hand and put them all into her small schoolbag.
Lin Zichen was also happy about this, as it saved him some trouble.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered that there was a fang given to him by the white-haired girl in his schoolbag, so he took it out and swallowed it.
[You devoured a trace of the life essence of the "Abyss Giant Butterfly"]
[Abyss Giant Butterfly Album: 2%]
By the way, now that we know the name of this strange beast, I wonder if I can find related information about it on the Internet?
Well, let’s search it and see.
Thinking of this, Lin Zichen immediately took out his mobile phone and searched for the four words "Abyss Giant Butterfly" on the Internet.
When he was in elementary school, he took a photo of the teeth of a giant butterfly and uploaded it to the Internet for big data image recognition, but found nothing.
Now that you know the specific name, there should be a good chance that you can search for information related to it.
However, the following result disappointed Lin Zichen.
There is no information about the "Abyss Giant Butterfly" on the Internet, which proves that this is an unknown beast that has not yet been discovered and recorded by humans.
Well, the atlas of this giant butterfly of the abyss can be sentenced to death. There is not even a bit of relevant information about it, and there is no way to fill up its progress bar.
Unless you can meet the white-haired girl's mother and get information about the giant butterfly of the abyss from her.
…
After leaving the classroom.
Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan went to the school's parking shed together and pushed out a brand new bicycle.
This bike is half a year old, but it still looks like new.
Mainly because Shen Qinghan takes good care of it and cleans it every one or two days.
Soon, the two of them pushed the cart towards the school gate.
When passing by the school canteen, Shen Qinghan suddenly said she wanted to eat a lollipop, so Lin Zichen went to buy her one.
"Eat. You're already such a grown-up, and you still need to be fed."
Lin Zichen opened the packaging of the lollipop and put the lollipop to Shen Qinghan's mouth.
Shen Qinghan had long been accustomed to such intimacy. She opened her mouth and took the lollipop in her mouth. After feeling the sweetness in her mouth, she smiled with her beautiful eyes and said:
"I can't help it. I just feel like it would be sweeter if you fed it to me."
"It's all just psychological."
As he spoke, Lin Zichen saw Shen Qinghan's face bulging with the lollipop in her mouth, and he couldn't help but reach out and poke it.
Shen Qinghan pulled out the lollipop, pouted her rosy lips slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Don't poke my face."
"It's your face that looks so tender, it feels good to poke it." Lin Zichen said with a smile.
"If it feels good, you can pinch it, knead it, but you can't poke it. It feels uncomfortable if you poke it."
"Okay, I'll pinch it later."
"No, just rub it. It feels good when you rub it."
“…”
The two joked for a while and continued pushing the cart towards the school gate.
When passing by the school road next to the playground.
Lin Zichen saw the school's martial arts team exercising on the playground, and saw a familiar face inside.
It was none other than the unlucky guy who followed behind him and won three silver medals with tears in his eyes.
At this time, the unlucky guy was running hard on the grass in the playground, with a cloth belt with a rope tied around his waist, and the other end of the rope was tied to a tire lying flat on the ground to increase friction.
This is one of the commonly used training methods to develop explosive power of leg muscles.
"Xiaochen, the boy on the grass is training so hard. Maybe he was inspired by you at the school sports meet." Shen Qinghan whispered while holding a lollipop in his mouth.
Lin Zichen: "Maybe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the next second, the martial arts team coach who was urging his players to train on the playground turned his head and looked at him.
After that, he turned around and walked over.
Shen Qinghan panicked and said nervously, "It's over, Xiaochen. Did we say those words too loudly just now and did he hear it?"
"It's okay, we didn't curse at anyone anyway." Lin Zichen comforted the timid Shen Qinghan.
