Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures

  Chapter 174 Covered all over...

  For the first time as an adult, when Zhao Meng, who is a starfish, waved his tentacles, he realized that each tentacle had one, not a pair, a tool to participate in the immediate responsibilities.

   This gave him a very novel feeling, like an open palm, with a finger on each finger, oh! It is a number pair, a tool that should not be in your hands.

   "But to be precise, it should not be fingers, but limbs..."

  Although it felt strange, in order to complete the simulation, Zhao Meng still assumed the responsibility of being a male starfish.

   Zhao Meng, who is a starfish, raised one of his arms,

  White clouds spewed out from the arms and legs, drifted down the ocean current, collided with the eggs released by the male and female starfish, and new seedlings were born.

  Of course, this level of cloud and mist is still a bit weaker than the sunfish covering the sky and covering the sky and covering the sky.

"continue!"

   Zhao Meng didn't stop after using one arm, he raised the other arm and continued to release the cloud.

  Generally speaking, the five arms and legs of starfish will release clouds together under the stimulation of temperature and environment

  However, Zhao Meng, who possesses human wisdom, said that prolonging the starfish's time can increase the chance of reproduction.

  In addition to the consideration of extending the time to increase the success rate, Zhao Meng also wanted to test whether each of the five arms and legs of the starfish felt different.

  After passing the experiment of uniform rain and dew, he came to a conclusion that there is no difference between each arm of the starfish.

  …

  After gathering, the starfish on the bottom of the sea began to leave slowly. Although some starfish lingered on this place, the predators they attracted made them dare not stay longer.

  Feeling the sea otters scurrying around above his head, Zhao Meng shook his wrist and left the gathering place in a hurry.

  【In June of the second year, you were attacked by natural enemies and lost part of your body】

   "The pack of sea otters!"

"unacceptable!"

   "How to pick this part of the mouth,"

   Zhao Meng, who was hiding in the crevices of the rocks on the seabed, felt helpless in his heart when he felt the incompleteness of his body.

  Since adulthood, starfish have had few natural enemies, but few does not mean no, but what Zhao Meng did not expect was that his natural enemy turned out to be sea otters.

   "Go to the deep sea, so there will be fewer sea otters!"

   Zhao Meng didn't have a good year, perhaps because of the breeding of starfish, which attracted a large number of sea otters.

  These sea otters feed on shellfish in the ocean, sea urchins, which conflicts with the diet of starfish.

  It’s fine if it’s just to grab the starfish’s food. More importantly, sea otters seem to be more willing to eat a certain part of the starfish.

  For this reason, sea otters often take one or two bites, and then throw the starfish back into the sea.

  Unfortunately, Zhao Meng, who had little mobility, was found out by a majestic sea otter even though he had already hid in the crevices of the rocks, and bit him twice.

  The biting place is the most nutritious 'responsibility area' on the arm and foot.

   "It's also thanks to the fact that starfish are not humans. If sea otters attack like this, if humans are bitten like this, I'm afraid sea otters will become a nightmare for humans."

  Although Zhao Meng does not have a human body at this time,

  But after he thought that the sea otter's attack was placed on humans, which was some kind of peach-picking behavior, his consciousness still had a chill at this time.

   "Fortunately, each arm and foot of the starfish has a responsibility area, just a few, just throw it away!"

  【In July of the second year, after continuous eating, your body has recovered. 】

   "I didn't expect that this starfish's ability to regenerate severed limbs is so strong!"

  Zhao Meng waved his newly grown arms and feet, felt the responsibility area of ​​returning to normal functions, and silently breathed a sigh of relief.

   "For a creature, the rebirth of a broken limb is not a kind of sadness."

  Feeling his new arm, Zhao Meng suddenly discovered that in nature, animals with this ability are often in a passive position in the food chain.

  If it weren't for a certain part of the body that is often torn off by predators, why should it have such an ability.

   "Although this is an ability that animals have evolved as a last resort, it would be nice if this ability can be extracted and used as an entry."

  【April of the fourth year, the breeding season is here, and instinct drives you to try to do something. 】

   This time Zhao Meng restrained his instincts, the breeding place will attract natural enemies,

  It would be dangerous to go there, and after the second and third years of breeding, he can be considered to have completed the mid-term task of the simulation—breeding

  According to Zhao Meng’s understanding of the simulation system,

  If he fails to simulate at this time, the system will display the available entries in order to provide motivation to continue the simulation.

   "I don't know, what entry will Starfish get?"

   Zhao Meng felt the quiet water flow around him and found a safe sea area.

  【April of the fifth year, the breeding season is here, and you have released your responsibilities】

   Zhao Meng, who had exhausted all his excretion, lay quietly on the bottom of the sea, and he muttered silently in his emptiness:

   "The lifespan of a starfish should not be long!"

  【July of the sixth year, breeding...】

   "When will you die!"

  Being bored, he continued to review the numerology models and configurations of the Jindan period, hoping to spend Haixing's life with this.

  【In January of the seventh year, you were attacked, you were already dead, and the simulation failed】

   "Hiss~"

   "What ate me?"

   "I didn't wait to die, but a predator came."

   Zhao Meng recalled what he perceived before the failure,

  He felt as if something soft had crawled onto his body, and before he could react, it was eaten.

  …

   In a trance, Zhao Meng returned to his body again.

  The phantom in the simulated space, according to the usual practice, cleared the sequelae left by the starfish.

   But even so, he still felt uncomfortable for a while, and opened his eyes after he relaxed.

   "Senior, have you thought of a way?"

  As soon as Zhao Meng opened his eyes, he heard the hurried voice of Yun Fu.

  Although several years have passed in the simulation, under the interference of phantoms, those years are like a dream, only feeling long-term but momentary.

   It was this time gap that made him a little uncomfortable.

   Fortunately, these discomforts quickly dissipated, and all of Zhao Meng's senses were reset to the moment before the simulation.

   "Don't worry, I already have a solution, but you need to pay something."

   "I will agree to anything."

"good!"

   "Then wait a moment."

  Speaking, Zhao Meng closed his eyes, came to the phantom space again, and checked the simulation record just now.

   "Sure enough!"

  【Simulation failed】

  【After the simulation is successful, the following entries can be obtained. 】

  【Wrist testis (golden)】

  【Rebirth of Broken Limbs (Purple)】

  【Abnormal Development (Purple)】

  【Picking and sucking (purple)】

  【vomit stomach (blue)】

  【Acid Release (Blue)】

  【Water perception (blue)】

  【Radiation type digestive system (blue)】

  【cilia (blue)】

  【Branchis mucus (blue)】

  【Water cavity (white)】

  【Back **** (white)】

  【Wrist Suction (White)】

  【echinoderm (white)】

  …

  【Hidden entry (not unlocked)】

  Seeing the entry of vomiting stomach, Zhao Meng was very happy, but when he saw the golden entry of starfish, the conscious body in the phantom space experienced a short-term thinking stagnation.

   "The golden entry is related to reproduction."

   "But what the heck?"

  Zhao Meng once thought about what the starfish's golden entry is, but seeing this thing, he couldn't hold back anymore.

  If he has not simulated a starfish, he may not be able to understand the meaning of this entry,

  But after experiencing the breeding process of starfish, even if he can't see the detailed explanation of the entry at this time, he can already guess what it is.

  "This kind of term...if it is used on a human body, how will it be displayed."

   Looking at this entry, Zhao Meng thought of an allusion for some reason.

  In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the previous life, adult men liked to wear a few pieces of jade ornaments around their waists. Whenever they walked, the jade stones collided with each other and made a very pleasant jingling sound.

  This style not only highlights the identity, but also cultivates the style of a gentleman with jade ornaments.

  However, getting two pieces of jade around the waist is enough. If you hang jade all over your body, you will be despised by people under the jingle.

  Recalling this allusion, and then looking at this entry, Zhao Meng felt a little helpless.

   "This kind of entry... That's all! I haven't drawn it out yet, maybe it's different from what I thought."

   Zhao Meng continued to look down:

   "Rebirth from broken limbs, this entry is not bad."

   "Abnormal development, this entry may have a miraculous effect on black beasts."

   "Pull and suck..."

   Seeing this entry, Zhao Meng was silent for a while, he could understand this entry,

  The five arms of the starfish are covered with suckers like the tentacles of the octopus, and can open tightly closed clams.

   But he really couldn't imagine how this kind of term is reflected in people.

   "Human limbs plus the head can also correspond to the five arms and legs of the starfish."

   "Is it to increase a person's ability to hug and tear?"

   Zhao Meng guessed for a moment, then continued to look down, the next entry was his purpose this time [vomit stomach]

   "I don't know if this entry can be extracted at once!"

   "If it doesn't work, you can only enter the second week."

  Zhao Meng browsed through the remaining entries, and then looked at the huge phantom in the phantom space. This phantom with a head and a snake tail has become much more solid than half a year ago.

   There are already some traces of facial features on it, but there is still a layer of mist, and the real appearance of the phantom cannot be seen.

   "The number of phantoms accumulated now should be enough for me to extract the required entries."

  As early as in the last world, Zhao Meng discovered that the degree of solidification of the phantom represents the number of simulations that can be performed.

He also used the monster stone to charge the phantom. Before, he thought that the power of earth decline in the monster stone provided the phantom with energy, but now that he thinks about it, the things that provide energy for the phantom still cannot draw a rough conclusion .

   "Is it the free force of earth decay in nature, or the source of yang emitted by stars, or something else..."

  Zhao Meng stopped his random guessing and entered the simulation system again.

  …

   After a period of trance, the familiar flu of water appeared around him.

  【In the first week, you were born from a gastrula and became a free-swimming larva of a starfish...】

  The hatching process of starfish is also different from that of ordinary creatures. In such a peculiar process, Zhao Meng once again started a new simulation.

  【Simulation failed】

  【Simulation failed】

  …

  Even though Zhao Meng has already simulated a starfish and brought his personal intelligence to the extreme, he still experienced several failures in the plankton stage of the starfish larvae before entering the simulation track.

   After all, plankton, as grass in the ocean, is the food for most creatures.

   Once Zhao Meng was even swallowed by a baleen whale that preyed on shrimp, and finally turned into nutrition of the baleen whale.

  As Fuyou, he constantly realized the weakness of his personal power in the face of the general situation.

   Fortunately, after constant attempts, he finally entered the normal process.

  Time is passing by little by little...

  【January of the third year, you are an adult, instinct drives you to look for something】

  Feeling the state at this time, Zhao Meng let out a long breath of relief.

  Once a starfish becomes an adult, its ability to survive will be greatly enhanced. Even if a part of its body is bitten off, it can still recover.

   "This time it will definitely succeed."

  Having gained the previous experience, after waving his arms and legs to complete the responsibilities of a male starfish, he began to look for a place to live.

  …

  【In April of the sixth year, you were attacked by sea otters, but you survived smoothly. 】

   Zhao Meng, who was hiding at the bottom of the sea, was recovering from his injuries.

  He originally wanted to hide in the deep seabed, but there are some strange molluscs that can prey on starfish,

  Compared to the sea otter, which only bites part, the mollusk in those areas will kill him,

  As for the deeper sea area, where starfish cannot survive, the lesser of two evils, Zhao Meng still chose a sea area that is neither deep nor shallow.

   Unexpectedly, under the influence of the undercurrent, he accidentally floated out.

   "It's really careless!"

  【July of the eighth year, reproduction...】

   Zhao Meng resolutely refused the appeal of the body.

   [April of the eleventh year, call for eating and breeding]

   "How long is the lifespan of this starfish?"

  【The seventeenth year...】

   "I didn't expect to complete the finite automatic method of numeracy required for cultivation here. Yuanying is hopeful."

   At this time, under a rock on the seabed, a unique starfish is crawling there,

  This starfish is a full circle larger than those around it, but it is such a big starfish, but it hides under the stone and does not compete with other starfish for food on the bottom of the sea.

   It seems to lie flat.

   "I didn't expect that starfish can live like this."

  【The twenty-first year, you feel the deterioration of your body function, you are aging. 】

   "Finally getting old!"

  【In May of the twenty-fourth year, your body functions cannot function normally due to aging. 】

  At this moment, Zhao Meng can no longer feel the surrounding water flow, nor can he analyze the information in the water flow and perceive the surrounding environment.

  He felt that his control over the starfish was gradually disappearing, and the five arms and legs could no longer hold onto the rocks on the seabed tightly.

   An undercurrent surged by, and his body slowly drifted into the depths of the ocean.

   Starfish is dead...

  【Simulation successful】
