Chapter 93 Evolutionary Selection



Has it started?

Most people would have been skeptical about this kind of content that seemed like something from The Onion News, but Ren Suo didn't know what was happening yet - the trial had begun.

Ren Suo had calculated that the Jedi Priest Trial had three levels, each of which had at least a hundred people, and only the first place winner could enter the next level. According to this scale, the third level would have a hundred people, the second level would naturally have to have ten thousand people, and the first level would require a million people!

That is to say, yesterday, one million people participated in the trial, and then within an hour, 990,000 people failed the trial and returned to reality!

Ren Suo was also completely relieved - the background setting of "Jedi Priest" was true, the gods would really let the trial-takers come back, and even give them a "complete transformation" of health.

These one million people are almost all sub-healthy people, disabled people and chronic patients. For various reasons, they are basically more "homebound", so when the trial occurs, they may not be noticed. And the trial only takes one hour. In such a short time, it is normal that many people are not discovered.

One million people, scattered across a planet with a population of seven billion, is not a small number, but it is not too small either. Moreover, although these people have "encountered mysterious events," the benefits they have gained are not super powers, but that they have become healthier. Therefore, it has not attracted public attention.

The government should have intervened, blocked the news, and started investigating the origins of the 'Lord of Wind, Rain and Snow', the 'Lord of Billions of Glorious Lights', and the 'Eternal Burning Heart'.

But, wait till Renesse releases a new video, then...

Ren Suo was also looking forward to how the foreshadowing he had laid out in the game would be presented, but there was a day's rest between each trial, and Ren Neiser had to follow the basic law to post videos, and would not post videos that had not yet happened, so he had to wait at least two days.

Ren Suo took a look and thought, well, 'Ren Neiser' didn't release any new videos. It seemed that he planned to release them all at once.

Maybe edit it?

Putting these thoughts aside, Ren Suo opened "Spirit of the Devouring World" with a slightly heavy heart.

This game will probably become his best way to kill time this month.

Worthy of the "3 stars +" rating, the difficulty of this game is beyond Ren Suo's imagination.

This game uses real-time save mode, you can't save or read the game, you can only start over. The last save was corrupted, so I had to start over again.

At the beginning of the game, there is a world map.

The entire world map is full of various colors, but they are roughly divided into three types: blue, yellow, and red.

Blue spiritual energy resources are the least, mostly in ocean areas and the Arctic and Antarctic.

Yellow aura resources are average, mostly in European towns and Australia.

Red spiritual energy resources are the most abundant, and most of them are densely populated cities, such as the Pacific Federation, Fanying Kingdom, Xuan Kingdom and South America.

The time is marked in the upper left corner: May X, 16:45.

There is a button at the bottom of the screen: "Press ○ to start random selection."

Yes, in this game, if you start a new file, where you are born and what kind of creature you use, from land, sea or air, are all random.

You don’t have to choose randomly, just spend the merit points.

1 point of merit can specify the birthplace, 2 points of merit can specify which kingdom (plant kingdom or animal kingdom), and 3 points of merit can specify which creature.

Ren Suo still has time to open up new land, so he naturally chose randomly. The map began to shrink, and it was located in a pit in a mountain range in the southwest of Xuan Country.

His vision changed, and the screen fell into darkness, with only a light source in front of him. In the dark screen, Ren Suo saw a creature.

It has a long and narrow shape, scales all over its body, short and thick limbs, a long and flat tail, and a slightly raised back. Ren Suo moves the creature forward by using the handle.

After a while, it crawled out and found the pit that Ren Suo had just seen. After it came out, it curled up on the ground without receiving any instructions. Its scales were brown, which was somewhat similar to the ground.

This creature is a pangolin.

"Press △ to open the evolutionary tree."

The exciting moment has arrived. Even though Ren Suo is a new player, he can't help but feel a little impatient when he sees this scene.

Opening the evolutionary tree, Ren Suo saw the hologram of the pangolin and its scientific name: Xuanguo Pangolin.

On the left side of the screen, a green energy bar appears with the current status and four lines of data: 6 points of damage, 10 points of defense, 8 points of movement, and 7 points of recovery.

Talent ability: Drilling (press R2 to activate, it takes 20 seconds to enter the ground, this ability increases as the damage increases).

Current status: Not hungry (has no effect).

Now that the energy bar is full, there are two options: "Evolution" and "Degeneration".

"Degeneration" is not available - because the game character at the beginning has not obtained any evolution.

Select "Evolve" and three cards appear on the screen, which immediately makes Ren Suo's eyes light up!

The three cards are: "Armor", "Endurance" and "Tear"!

"Armor" is a gray-barred red card, and its effect is: create an armor barrier with 5 points of defense for living beings, which refreshes once a day.

"Hold On" is a red card with a blue bar, and its effect is: create an armor barrier with 15 points of defense for the creature, which refreshes once a day, but after refreshing, it will gain a wound buff - 'cause moderate damage to the creature, the injured creature's abilities are reduced by 30%, and it needs to stay still for 3 hours to recover'.

"Tear" is a blue-bar red card, and its effect is: every time a creature is injured, its comprehensive ability will be enhanced after it is fully recovered. A light injury increases the comprehensive ability by 1 point, a moderate injury increases the comprehensive ability by 2 points, and a severe injury increases the comprehensive ability by 3 points.

There is no doubt that Ren Suo chose "Tear"!

If he were in the city, Ren Suo might consider choosing "Hold on" - because pangolins can't beat humans. But in the wild, it's a good time to level up. Using "Rip", he can grow to a level that humans can't catch with weapons in just a few days!

Red lines flashed across the pangolin's body, indicating that it had achieved the "Tear" evolution.

Based on my observations during the early stages of the evolutionary tree, "Rip" is one of the best evolutions!

After controlling the pangolin to walk around for a few times, he finally saw a spider on a tree and immediately controlled the pangolin to rush over.

Speaking of which, the pangolin is the best one among Ren Suo's several starts - it can climb trees, dig holes, and swim, and its mouth is quite sharp. It is much better than the pig that Ren Suo controlled in the first game, and its living environment is also much better.

Thinking of the pig, Ren Suo could only blame himself for his bad luck - it was bad enough that he happened to be a pig by chance, but it was a pig locked in a cage waiting to be slaughtered, and there was nothing he, Ren Suo, could do about it!

The spider looked quite big, but it was a little confused when facing the pangolin: Brother, I am not on your menu.

However, the pangolin bit the spider in the web very quickly and efficiently. It grabbed the spider with its small hands and jumped to the ground, crushing it to death without any harm.

It is naturally impossible for the pangolin to eat this spider. Unless Ren Suo points out the evolution of "predatory", the pangolin can only eat insects such as termites and bees.

A wisp of green gas floated out of the dead spider and landed on the pangolin. Ren Suo then saw that the empty energy tank had risen slightly.

Ren Suo played for three hours, and three hours also passed in the game, from afternoon to night. He caught and killed many spiders, bird eggs, pheasants, and even found a lone monkey. In order to deal with the monkey, the pangolin was beaten moderately in the fight, and only then did it bite through the monkey's throat.

After all this, the pangolin's energy bar was full, and Ren Suo chose "evolve" again!

This time the evolution still consists of three cards, namely "Omnivore", "Armed" and "Strong Food"!

"Omnivore" is a gray-bar red card, and its effect is: allowing creatures to eat meat and plants, and enhance their overall abilities by absorbing the spiritual energy in them.

"Armament" is a red card with a gray stripe. Its effect is: it creates an armor barrier with 5 points of defense for the creature and strengthens the effect of the evolution card for the next evolution.

"Forced Food" is a red card with a blue bar. Its effect is: allowing creatures to eat meat and plants, and ignoring their toxicity (digestion time is prolonged), and enhancing their overall abilities by absorbing the spiritual energy in them.

There is no doubt that Ren Suo chose "strong eating". Pangolins are animals that only eat insects at the beginning, so they must become omnivorous or strong eaters in the first three evolutions. If they don't choose, they will easily starve to death.

In the picture, the pangolin's teeth have a hint of red in their mouth, making them look sharper.

It was dark, and the pangolin was injured, so Ren Suo let the pangolin eat the monkey meat first, and the status became:

Full (all abilities reduced by 10% until digestion is complete)

Moderate injury (all abilities reduced by 30% until recovery)

Ren Suo lets the pangolin rest in a cave, and chooses '12 hours pass', which means it will go straight to dawn.

At daybreak, the pangolin's injuries had healed, digestion was complete, and its comprehensive abilities all exceeded 10 points.

In the upper right corner of the screen, two lines of combat power are displayed.

The first row is the pangolin’s combat power: 27.

The second line is the combat power of the world's strongest person: 43650.

However, Ren Suo still remembered that the combat power of the strongest person in the world yesterday was 43250.

After one night, the combat power of the world's strongest man increased by 400, which is equivalent to 15 pangolins!

The condition for passing the game is to allow the character controlled by the player to surpass the strongest person in the world!

In the previous few games, the upgrade speed of the creatures controlled by Ren Suo was much lower than that of the strongest ones. Some of them were not even able to deter humans and were captured by humans as rare animals for research...

"However, it's still too difficult to fight in the jungle..." Ren Suo also felt a little annoyed: "If it's from other countries, it's okay, at least there are bears and crocodiles to swipe, but there's nothing to swipe in Xuan Country. If you eat meat or vegetables, you can't swipe after a certain level, unless it's a natural treasure."

"If we want to catch up as quickly as possible, the best way is to go to the human side and find... objects full of spiritual energy to devour!"
