Chapter 248 Don’t Ascend! Don’t Ascend!
After Yan Jiu changed his job to a sand walker, Lu Yao had an idea.
He could let the apostles select a group of Yao clan extraordinary people who met the requirements and give them the opportunity to become cloud monks or sand walkers.
On the one hand, it could introduce new population to this dilapidated world, and let them further transform Yunzhong Temple; on the other hand, it would also provide a further growth channel for the extraordinary people.
However, this matter requires the establishment of a stable and long-term mechanism, including the pre-selection conditions and selection methods, which have not been clarified yet, and we cannot rush it.
After changing to a sand walker, Yan Jiu's [History] was cleared, and two more abilities, [Sand] and [Rule Walker], were added.
Especially the latter, this ability to sneak with the help of rules is the core of the sand walker.
After the martial monk, Yan Jiu once again became a tryer of a new path.
Lu Yao asked the monk Zhike to take him to adapt to the environment of Yunzhong Temple first and familiarize himself with the use of new abilities.
Then he went to the toilet.
When he came back, Yan Jiu was gone.
Lu Yao opened the background of the Golden Wilderness and searched for related entries.
The result was [Ascension], and no such person was found later.
Lu Yao was stunned.
Under normal circumstances, this is of course a good thing.
Ascension is not easy for sand walkers. In the past, many sand walkers in Yunzhong Temple failed to ascend, and finally merged with the monk in despair.
But for Lu Yao's plan, this is a bad thing.
He had just selected a driver to explore the way, but the driver burned the tires on the slope and lost contact directly.
The people behind him hadn't got on the car yet.
Lu Yao deeply regretted Yan Jiu's loss.
He learned from the pain.
In the future, he must emphasize to every job changer: Don't ascend, don't ascend!
Ascension is not as good as it sounds.
In the [Yanke Bird] world, the sand tower formed by the sand walker's corpse has not collapsed yet, and the living example of failure is there.
This is a road that is unknown and hard to say where to go.
Lu Yao turned around and thought about it.
Whether it was the epoch update or the ascension accident, in the final analysis, it was still my inadequate understanding and use of the world rules.
The pain points must be solved from the root to avoid the same problems in the future.
Lu Yao officially decided to use Yunzhong Temple as a new experimental area.
The rules of this world are simple, and there are no living things, so there is no problem of worrying about destroying the ecology.
And because it is rotten enough, even the epoch update has stopped, which has reduced a lot of interference.
In addition, Yunzhong Temple is large enough, whether it is to transform the terrain environment or to further simulate and deduce species, it is very sufficient.
If compared with the normal world, except for the two wonders, the rest here is worthless.
But for various experiments, this place is really suitable.
Just do it.
Lu Yao clicked on the golden wilderness, selected new in the rules, and made up a [Lightning] entry.
Lu Yao has a special feeling for lightning.
His growth along the way is inseparable from the power of lightning.
He opened the search engine, first looked up the knowledge related to lightning, and then typed under the entry, setting a simple rule for lightning.
…
[Lightning]: Discharge between clouds, between clouds and the ground, or between different parts of a cloud.
Damage: 40
Speed: 15
[Lightning frequency]
Lightning has a 1/6 chance of striking the ground.
[Lightning structure]
Mostly linear and constantly changing.
…
After completing the basic definition, Lu Yao clicked Finish.
It showed that 145,000 Fires of Faith were needed.
Lu Yao felt pained.
The cost of this god's scientific research was too high.
He fiddled with it for a while and figured out a little trick.
If it is a rule applied to the entire world, then a lot of Fires of Faith will be needed to support it. The more detailed and precise the description and related definitions are, the more they can be locked in a small area, and the cost expenditure can be greatly reduced.
Not far from the Benyun Terrace, Lu Yao created a small artificial lake using earthquakes, hurricanes and rainfall. Although it will dry up soon, it can be used for a short time.
Designate the location where the rules are deployed as an artificial lake.
Lu Yao clicked Finish [Lightning].
This time, the faith expenditure only needs 1200.
He observed the lake with some expectation.
There were various cloud-transforming monks walking on the lake, and lightning did appear, but because there were too many clouds and fogs here, the lightning was almost always flashing, which was endless.
In less than ten minutes, the entire [Lightning] entry showed [Invalid].
The first rule writing failed.
Lu Yao tried again.
After more than a dozen failures, Lu Yao finally wrote a local [Lightning] that could be maintained stably for a long time.
To make the lightning rule stable and lasting, the key is to make it form a linkage with the pillar rule power. In the world of Yunzhong Temple, it is [Cloud] and [Sand].
It is like drawing a circuit diagram, and it is easier to start by incorporating their existing framework.
Therefore, when making lightning rules in Yunzhong Temple, you cannot directly copy the background description of the Yao clan world, but must conform to the actual situation of Yunzhong Temple.
Use clouds and sand as trigger mechanisms, and use their power base to derive lightning effects.
The definition of lightning is now completely different.
…
[Lightning]: The discharge phenomenon between clouds and sand.
…
The following can be connected to the entries of [cloud] and [sand] to form a linkage and become a simple organic whole.
After mastering this basic rule, Lu Yao's next attempt became more purposeful.
】
He experimented with adding [Rainy], [Low Temperature] and [Wet], all of which are based on the cross-effects of [Cloud], [Sand] and [Lightning], but the display effect is not as stable as lightning, and sometimes works and sometimes doesn't.
There are also many problems with post-optimization.
But at last, we have come to the stage of having from the stage of nothing.
What Lu Yao has to do next is to experiment how to make these sometimes-work, rough and problematic rules more stable and more useful for the evolution and development of the entire world.
After finishing this experiment, Lu Yao started his favorite part.
Release species.
Yunzhong Temple is a world without living things, so releasing creatures here is mostly a dead end. So it is important to choose a tough and tossable experimental subject.
Lu Yao put on rubber gloves and found a very suitable target by using materials at home.
Cockroaches.
He used to think that there were too many cockroaches in the old house, but now he thinks there are too few.
As the cockroaches were reduced in dimension and put into the simulator, he named them and placed them next to the artificial lake in the Yunzhong Temple world.
The cockroaches had their own panel.
…
[Sand Cockroach LV1]
HP: 3/3
Mana: 1/1
Damage: 1
Defense: 1
Speed: 6
…
This species has the [Endurance] trait after transcendence.
Sand cockroaches were thrown into the desert world by Lu Yao.
They were dying at first, and the living ate the bodies of the dead to continue to survive. Even so, they were still reproducing desperately by instinct.
Lu Yao noticed that after five or six generations, a sand cockroach mutated.
Its speed became 2 and its defense became 0, perhaps to reduce all unnecessary consumption.
The descendants of this sand cockroach became more tolerant of hunger, and their bodies became smaller and shriveled, looking like small black shells.
After generations of evolution, sand cockroaches further adapted to the desert environment.
They have the [Iron Stomach] ability and can eat gravel as food.
However, due to their small size and the fact that they hardly move at ordinary times, they are like narrow pieces of stone. Sand cockroaches consume very little and can survive with only a little bit of sand.
Although they are alive, they are actually between life and death, and only retain a few simple characteristics of organisms.
But they have adapted to the environment after all.
This is of great significance to Lu Yao.
He originally wanted to observe the process of species evolution and extinction, so he chose cockroaches, a group with a tough life. Unexpectedly, they can survive in this dilapidated world with distorted rules.
Of course, the premise is that they become extraordinary creatures after being released.
Although sand cockroaches can be said to be insignificant, they are the life foundation of this world. Their successful survival proves that Yunzhong Temple may really have a day to regain vitality.
Lu Yao decided to give it another push.
He opened the Golden Wilderness, clicked on the [Tree of Creation], and selected a [Sand Cockroach] as the species basis.
Then he pulled down the prop bar and his eyes stayed on the [Bashang Whale Beard], but this prop has the ability to breathe underwater, which may not be suitable for the desert environment.
Finally, Lu Yao chose the [Wild Horn] from the list. This item can call surrounding creatures to come closer.
He combined the sand cockroach and the fire item to create a new species.
It has harder and thicker elytra, like a spiral shell, gray-brown in color, like shellfish. The tentacles can be retracted into the shell, which is more like a flat version of a hard-shell snail.
Lu Yao renamed it [Shell Cockroach].
…
[Shell Cockroach LV1]
HP: 3/3
Mana: 1/1
Damage: 1
Defense: 3
Speed: 2
[Endurance]
[Iron Stomach]
[Live in Groups]
…
This insect has completely given up the ability to fly and move. They survive by endurance and eating gravel.
What interests Lu Yao most is their way of moving.
Shell cockroaches will piece together each other's spiral shells, and a large group will move slowly in the sand, looking quite imposing.
This way of group action allows them to better cope with the harsh climate of Yunzhong Temple.
When the sandstorm came, their tightly connected shells formed a chain effect, and the interior was divided into several layers, like a huge Lego shell.
Lu Yao was looking forward to their future appearance.
As he watched the cockroaches line up, a reminder popped up in the simulator.
[The elves in the south offered a sacrifice. ]
A long-lost sacrifice!
Lu Yao clicked on the entry, and the screen immediately jumped to the new southern continent of the Yao clan world.
A temple was built outside the Elf Lake at some point. This temple was completely woven with vines and wood, which was in line with the aesthetic habits of the elves.
There was a light blue branch in the temple offering column.
…
[Disaster Branch]: Faith +1/hour.
The magical branches bred from the corpse of the disaster beast need to grow in the water, and there is a certain probability of bred water element disaster beasts.
…
Lu Yao's mind suddenly lit up.
Why did I forget this.
Yunzhong Temple is short of water, so we can catch the water disaster beasts in the Yao clan world! Let them do whatever they want over there, this dead silent world just needs them to do that!
They come here not to create disasters, but to create vitality!
