How Am I Still Alive?

Lu Ping'an's new life didn't start happily. The world was not friendly from the beginning.

"This ordinary person has been here for a long time, and I'm afraid he will be overcooked." Just this outdoor temperature has prevented the natural reproduction of most of the earth's animals, and has also contributed to the high prices of local "earth meat and vegetables".

In fact, even in the lowest areas, mortals need various facilities, props and even divine grace to ensure their livability.

If they left the towns built at the bottom of the world, they would be like ants in an ant nest that were ignited in a forest fire, and they would die worthless.

The "technology" and "local specialties" that Lu Pingan is most concerned about are also quite subtle from the results.

"Are most industries and products at the top?" Even research institutions are at the higher level.

Lu Pingan was not in a hurry to get up and go. He always felt that "research" must start from the basics.

Compared with the chaotic world above, he believes that "basic" research must be done first. The ordinary soldiers, logistics, and researchers in his courtyard also need time to adapt to the environment, and various materials need to be researched. Reports, basic information in many aspects such as sociology, geography, introduction to elements, etc. need to be accumulated.

Lu Ping'an felt that if he really wanted to analyze something, I'm afraid it would be easier to see the trend with basic samples at the edge.

The most he has gone to is around the tenth floor.

And the layer here is not a floor, but more like a "height" concept. You can be on the tenth floor of the mountain one moment, climb to the eleventh floor of the plateau the next moment, and then accidentally slide into the ninth floor. Lava lake.

What makes Lu Ping An even more helpless is the serious water shortage in this world. This is a nightmare condition for gardeners who mainly use magic plants.

Fortunately, there were already high-level gardeners working here before Lu Pingping came.

They came up with a special magic plant that can live here and produce water-rich fruits, which will alleviate the problem to a certain extent. If a large lake really appears, it will evaporate instantly and lose the independence of the existence of restraints. The water source seems to be non-existent.

This in itself is actually quite advanced, meaning that the inventor has a special extraordinary module that "converts heat and energy into life energy."

Of course, the water produced in this way is quite poor quality and even has a sandy smell.

"It seems that I can sell water. Forget it, I don't even have enough."

Lu Ping'an's courtyard has a water source, but it is also produced regularly. If you want to increase the amount, you can use life points to exchange for it, but it is obviously not cost-effective.

This reality means that he cannot use magic plant mass production tactics. If many magic plants are thrown out, they will definitely not be recycled, and it is impossible to plant them on a large scale outside.

"Looking at the best, magic plants and related materials can be sold at a good price here."

He set up several experimental plots and purchased the extremely expensive "water melon tree species", which he used as a water source to conduct localized experiments on magic plants at the bottom (where the temperature is the lowest).

Let’s take a look at which species can adapt to the local environment, and what surprises they can bring to themselves after adapting.

On the other hand, what really attracted Lu Ping'an to stay were the local "residents".

".This way of birth is a bit interesting."

Lu Pingan was lying on the plain, resting but also "working". Watching the busy collectors working in front of him and waiting for their results was considered his own work.

A large amount of materials have been piled up in the courtyard, and the expert team is busy, hoping to come up with theoretical results that can make the courtyard production system operate as soon as possible.

What attracted Lu Pingan's attention, and even made him not intend to leave for a short time, was the mystery of the birth of life in front of him.

"There is no reproduction behavior, no father or mother, just born like this?!"

Right in front of Lu Ping'an, the local fragmented red "elements" gathered on their own, forming a whirlwind of elements.

When the whirlwind extinguished, a round and fat "elemental villain" appeared. It had no obvious limb structure, but it seemed to be the most basic unit of life.

At this time, some of its predecessors walked over and brought it to the town. After a period of study, it will have a certain degree of wisdom and knowledge, and in order to survive, it will begin to mimic.

So what happens if there is no one to guide you?

“More interesting”

Lu Pingan went up to the fifth and sixth floors. There were still basic "elemental people" born here, but they were larger than their counterparts on the lower floors. Soon after they were born, they would face the hunting of elemental wolves and elemental dragons.

The one who runs slowly will die naturally, and the one who evolves slowly is about the same. If you can evolve into an elemental wolf within dozens of hours, then even if you are not accepted by the wolf pack, you can survive independently for a period of time and try to Complete new evolution.

Lu Ping'an can easily crush a piece of the lowest elemental people, but this kind of plasticity makes them very mysterious.

He captured a lot of low-level elemental dragons, elemental wolves, and those spheres, and dissected them in all aspects, but the answer given by the logistics team was that they were completely different at the genetic level.

In other words, they are not simply "accumulated", but have undergone transformation in their life forms.

"Is it possible for magic plants to exist in such an environment?"

Plants and animals are different. Excluding intelligent creatures, ordinary animals are adaptors and predators of the environment, while plants are symbionts and transformers of the environment.

He searched higher up, but didn't find it. Instead, he found something at the bottom.

That is "grass". In other words, elemental grass roots.

In fact, it is ubiquitous on the earth and is an aggregation of local elements, and most elemental life is born on these grass roots.

"Uh, ginseng fruit?"

Lu Ping'an dug it out, and what he got were crystal-like roots, which seemed to instinctively gather the surrounding elements to form a hotbed of new elemental life.

Is this natural? Or is it a modified product of a superior creature?

Safe Roads needs more.

He compared it and found similar products in the upper layers, but perhaps because the basic particles were more aggregated, they showed obvious crystallization, and the newborns they produced seemed to have a higher starting point.

"It seems that the world still has ecological cycles of nature, plants (producers), and animals (consumers). Well, as the cyclic converter of energy and resources, it may not necessarily be plants, and animals themselves do not seem to need to reproduce. Gene exchange can also lead to the evolution of life.”

If you are a low-level gardener, you probably won't be able to connect those crystals and plants together. They actually have no life response.

But an existence like Lu Ping'an has actually transcended some of the limitations of life and death.

He can really "think". If he thinks you are a plant, you probably really are.

"Life investment. Sure enough, it works!"

When he invested in it and successfully cultivated a large vein of crystals in the manor, he also began to analyze the structure of the underlying logic of this world.

At this time, the local master's envoy finally found him and found this strange reinforcement who was not doing his job, digging holes and catching pets everywhere.
