This Game Is Too Realistic

At the door of the manager's office in the Alliance Building, Lu Bei reached out and knocked lightly on the door. After receiving permission, he opened the door and walked in.

"gentlemen."

Chu Guang put down the tablet in his hand, looked at Lu Bei who was standing at the door, looking like he had something to report, and said with a smile.

"Have you found the pen I lost?"

Lu Bei shook his head and said with a troubled expression.

"not yet……"

Chu Guang said with a smile.

"If you can't find it, you can't find it. Maybe I forgot about it by throwing it in the shelter. It's just a pen. There's no need to mobilize an army. Don't delay other things."

Although Xiaoqi said that his safety should not be taken lightly, no matter how big the loss was, it was just a pen.

And to put it bluntly, he didn't think anyone could threaten his safety.

It's not that he's bragging.

Just from the perspective of personal combat effectiveness, there is probably no creature stronger than him on this planet.

So much so that Heya even exaggeratedly stated that there was something in his DNA that could not be explained by existing technological means, and this situation actually began to appear a long time ago.

Even the Alliance's Biological Research Institute said so. He felt that there was really no need to worry about this kind of thing.

Besides, he has many things to do every day, so he doesn't need to spend so much thought on a pen.

But Lu Bei obviously didn't think so.

As before, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest and said loyally.

"How can your matter be a trivial matter, let alone that it happened in your office... Moreover, we discovered a strange thing during our recent visit and investigation."

Chu Guang: "What a weird thing."

Lu Bei continued in a cautious tone.

"Not just you, other office staff also said that they are always losing things recently. Some small items in the office, especially items that are not commonly used, are always missing for no reason."

"And this weird thing?" Chu Guang raised his eyebrows with a surprised expression on his face, "When did it start? Has no one mentioned it?"

"Actually, a similar situation has occurred for a few days, but since all the things lost were insignificant and small things, the person who lost them didn't take it too seriously and didn't even report the damage," Lu Bei said with a smile on his face. With a helpless expression, he continued, "It wasn't until our people found them that they all expressed that there was indeed a similar situation."

Chu Guang frowned and thought for a long time, then tapped his index finger on the desk and said.

"I'm afraid this is not a trivial matter... Are there any statistics on the types of lost objects?"

Lu Bei said immediately.

"It's mainly office supplies, mainly pens, and pen caps are also missing."

"What's the scope?" Chu Guang continued to ask, "Just this floor? Or the entire Alliance Building? What about other buildings next to it? Have similar situations occurred in the homes of nearby residents, or is it only targeting government agencies?"

Lu Bei was stunned for a moment, then said hurriedly.

"Currently, only the Alliance Building has been found to have problems. In order to avoid unnecessary rumors and speculation, we have strictly controlled the scope of the investigation... Of course, if you feel it is necessary, we can immediately expand the scope of the investigation."

Chu Guang thought for a moment and said.

"Issues involving residential areas should try not to come forward in the name of the Guards. Let's do this. I will call the person in charge of the Security Bureau later and ask them to cooperate with you to appropriately expand the scope of the investigation on the grounds of public security and check the residents. Do you have similar situations at home?"

Something is fishy.

At first, he thought he had forgotten something and lost it. Unexpectedly, it was not just him, but several offices in the Alliance Building had similar problems.

Unfortunately, all I lost was office equipment and no important documents.

But precisely because of this, this matter never received anyone's attention until the same thing appeared in his office.

Chu Guang always felt that things were not that simple.

The first thing to do now is to find out the scope of the "vision", and maybe we can find out the rules.

He hoped he was just overthinking.

Lu Bei nodded, took note of the manager's instructions, and then continued.

"One more thing is the military information from the south. According to the report of the Guards Regiment stationed in Chipchi Port, an emergency occurred on the outskirts of Chipchi Harbor. A huge alien species suddenly appeared only 100 meters away from the city of Chipchi Harbor. Kilometers of forest—"

Chu Guang took a sip of the black tea on the table and said.

"It's called Dragon Lizard, right?"

Lu Bei was stunned for a moment.

"This... I don't know its name. Do you already know it?"

Chu Guangyan said concisely and concisely.

"I knew about it as soon as it happened. It was said that an epic beast appeared near Fries Port. I have notified the Jungle Corps to enter the first level of combat readiness. If an emergency occurs, they will take direct action."

This matter has caused a lot of noise on the forum, saying that Godzilla has come to the wasteland.

He actually understood the situation as soon as possible and told the local garrison to prepare for battle.

But to be honest, he didn't really take that stuff seriously.

Although many good players described it vividly on the forum and touted it as an invincible existence, in his opinion, no matter how strong it was, it was just a bigger beast, vulnerable to the absolute firepower advantage.

What is really worth noting is that according to the description of the witnessing player, there is a huge tree growing next to the lizard, which is suspected to be the same one from the Doma tribe on the planet Gaia.

This phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the Alliance Biological Research Institute. The current research on this "anomaly" has been led by Ms. Chen Yutong, who is in charge of the Baiyue Province Brood Research Project.

Including that huge and bizarre lizard.

Chu Guang said as he put down the tea cup in his hand.

"You don't need to worry about the matters at the French Fries Port. You guys need to finish the work at hand first."

Lu Bei stood at attention and gave a military salute.

"yes!"

…

On the official website of "Wasteland OL", there was a lot of discussion on the forum, and the cause was a post and a close-up photo.

So cool that it dropped the frame: "Big news! Brothers! A world-class boss has spawned near the French Fries Port! Hurry and watch!"

Tail:"!!?"

Quit smoking: "What the hell?! Is it true?"

Professor Yang, the King of Thunder and Lightning: “Don’t be real or fake, other people’s photos have been posted.”

What can I do to you? "Haha, is this a world-class boss? When I was a special forces soldier in Southeast Asia, I saw at least ten bigger ones than this one, and even killed one with my own hands! At that time, it chased and bit me. I just snaked around a few trees, then turned around and flew onto its back. I don’t need to say more about the rest, right? Anyone who knows how to do it knows what to do. (Sweat Soybeans)"

Elf King Fugui: "Although I am not an expert among you, I think it must not be full. (Funny)"

Irena: "Dragon Lizard: This side dish is quite unique (funny)"

Drum hair washing machine: “There are so many flaws that I don’t know where to start. (Sweat)”

Tallan Raider: "By the way, there is such an awesome monster hiding in Baiyue Province, but no one has noticed it before. (Stupid)"

Mole on the run in the canyon: "No one went deep into the forest before. This time, the monster inside came out on its own."

I just want to be a quiet dog: "I testify, this thing is too powerful, individual soldiers have no power to fight back, just use strategic weapons."

Junichiro Xiaokawa: "Why do I think it's the food? (Squints and smiles)"

I just want to be a quiet dog: "Get out! You can do it!"

He just wanted to be quiet and said to the Japanese dog: "That's right!"

Teng Teng: "Excuse me, are you two lovers' names? (Blushing)"

Crow Crow: "Well, I think they may just have a good relationship with each other, but your face is as red as a bubble teapot!"

Qingdeng Ancient Wine: “Damn, I’m so worried that this thing will ruin the French fries port. (Embarrassing)”

Debt-eyed: "Why don't you open a poll and see if you can get rid of this monster first. (Funny)"

Ye Shi: "Brother, wait a minute. I seem to have received a mission. You guys, please don't do anything yet."

Boy and Brick at the construction site: "I posted a voting post."

Murderous Dagger: "I raised my hand."

Mole on the run in the canyon: "Unanimous vote!!! (broken sound)"

Midnight killing chicken: "Brothers come to life!"

Xiao Xiaoxiao bookworm: "Ouch!!"

Ye Shi: "??? Damn, are you such a bitch?!"

…

"These dogs."

At the Marina Hotel in Friesport, Ye Shi cursed when he returned to the line, jumped out of bed, put on his clothes and hurried out the door.

Although I know that the good brothers are joking, there are too many players here who can't stand it. Maybe two fools will pop up and burn the holy tree with the idea of ​​​​exploding gold coins.

The task assigned to him by the administrator was to try to use psychic energy to establish a spiritual connection with the sacred tree in the forest, inquire about the latter's intentions and explore the possibility of cooperation.

He had to talk to the sacred tree before anyone messed with it.

Looking at Ye Shi hurriedly coming out of the elevator, Professor Sun Zewen standing in the hotel lobby looked at him and asked.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you so anxious?"

Ye Shi didn't answer, just asked hurriedly.

"Where's Dora?"

"You said Dora, she should be in the garden behind the hotel, with Ms. Han Mingyue." Professor Sun Zewen looked at him with a strange expression, and continued, "Didn't Professor Han say to find you? You didn't look. arrive?"

Ye Shi looked a little embarrassed.

He was offline just now, and the online game character slept like a pig, so it was naturally impossible to hear any knocking on the door.

"Garden, right? Thank you."

"You're welcome." Professor Sun Zewen nodded, and then said as if he remembered something, "Ah, by the way, about psychic powers... If you have any new discoveries, please tell me."

"must!"

Without saying a word, Ye Shi hurried to the garden behind the hotel.

And when he rushed to the garden, he was shocked by the scenery here.

I saw thick vines climbing up the curved glass curtain wall, and colorful flowers were blooming.

The landscape here doesn't look like the Earth, but like Gaia five light years away!

Standing at the entrance of the garden, he stared with wide eyes for a while before recovering from the shock.

At this moment, he saw Ms. Chen Yutong and Lao Bai who were also standing near the Huayuan intersection.

"Is this... the view from South Gate 2!"

Ye Shi looked at Ms. Chen.

Her face was filled with excitement, and her incredible expression was even more exaggerated than her own.

Lao Bai scratched the back of his head and said as he looked at the magnificent Zhu Qiwei plant in the garden.

“I don’t quite understand, but will this really not cause trouble such as species invasion?”

"This problem does not exist in Baiyue Province," Chen Yutong shook his head and said, "New species are born here every day, and a new dynamic balance has been formed between them."

Ye Shi coughed slightly and said.

"Actually, I don't think this problem exists in the entire wasteland...including the River Valley Province, the monsters there are no worse than this."

Seeing Ye Shi standing at the door, Lao Bai said with a smile.

"Finally back online? Ms. Han seems to be looking for you."

Ye Shi: "I'm also looking for her, and Dora... where are they?"

"Just in front." Lao Bai pointed in the direction of the garden center, "Please give me a message to the guest from Nanmen 2, asking her to try to control the vegetation within the garden of this hotel... Just don’t spread it outside.”

The owner of the hotel really likes this kind of scenery. After all, this thing may become a big selling point.

But if it spreads outside, that's another matter.

Changing the city appearance of Potato Port requires deliberation and decision by the representative assembly.

"knew."

Ye Shi responded and strode forward quickly, passing through a row of paths with dense vegetation, and soon arrived at the center of the garden.

Ms. Han and Dora are both here.

In particular, the latter was sitting cross-legged on a stone table entwined with vines, and seemed to be still having intercourse with the mother's nest god in the forest.

Seeing Ye Shi walking across the path, Han Mingyue said jokingly.

"You slept so well that my hands were sore from ringing the doorbell."

"I was very tired yesterday, so I took a nap at noon." Ye Shi said sheepishly.

"No way, can't you do it at such a young age?" Ms. Han said jokingly.

Ye Shi: "..."

"Ye Shi!" Dora, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone table, opened her eyes and said in surprise, "You're here!"

Ye Shi pointed around.

"Did you do this?"

Dora shook her head in embarrassment and said shyly.

"It did it...it said it wanted me to take a look for it to see if the scenery at South Gate 2 is like this."

This probably refers to the mother nest.

Seeing Ye Shi asking about what happened here, Han Mingyue lowered her arms and explained.

"Don't worry, we have already asked the owner of this hotel for his opinion. He is very interested in our experiment and even agreed to lend us the garden for a week. The only requirement is that it does not affect the hotel's operations and other guests. of rest.”

Ye Shi nodded and said.

"It's fine that he has no objection, but it's best not to spread to the streets outside."

"Yes!" Before Han Mingyue could speak, Dora nodded excitedly and said in a show off, "It promised me that these plants will only be planted in this garden... and will not spread outside."

Han Mingyue crossed her arms again, looked around at the surrounding landscape, and said in surprise.

"How is this done? Through... some special component in the air?"

Dora shook her head, a confused look on her face.

"I don't know how it does it. My psychic power can't make purple flowers turn red, but it can... According to it, these plants are very obedient to it, and it can decide their future." What way to grow.”

Han Mingyue touched her chin and said thoughtfully.

"Control evolution... It sounds a bit cool, but I don't know if it will be effective on people."

She doesn't know much about biological techniques, but she has heard that it is not easy.

Even in the Alliance's Biological Research Institute, there are too many things that we don't understand.

Ye Shi thought for a moment and said.

"Theoretically, it should be possible. Isn't that how Gaia was born? But I think it's better not to try it. It feels like it will cause a lot of ethical issues."

For example, the child born is different from his parents or something...

Even if he knew he wasn't being cheated on, he felt that most people wouldn't be able to accept it.

For another example, although the league's mainstream media has praised the compatriots of Nanmen II, probably no one would want their children to have green skin.

Even if it can carry out photosynthesis.

People's concepts are slowly changing with the advancement of science and technology, and it is easy to expect that monsters like mutants will be born overnight.

At this time, Dora seemed to remember something and spoke.

"Ah, by the way, it wants to see you."

Ye Shi's heart moved and he said immediately.

"Where? Here?"

"The sacred tree in that forest," Dora looked at him with sincere eyes and continued, "it heard that you also mastered psychic powers, and it wanted to see you and communicate with you face to face."

"Uh, that is to say, next to the big lizard?" Ye Shi looked a little embarrassed.

Dora nodded and said seriously.

"It says that it is its child, and as long as you don't hurt or irritate it, it will not attack you."

After a pause, she said again.

"If you're scared, I can go with you... Want to see it?"

There was an expression of anticipation written on that face.

It was obvious that she really wanted to facilitate this meeting.

Ye Shi said after thinking for a moment.

"It's better if I go alone. It's safer this way."

Dora was slightly disappointed but nodded anyway.

"Okay...but you can rest assured, it said it will not hurt you."

She seemed to see the concerns in her heart.

Ye Shi smiled and said.

"I believe it, otherwise I wouldn't agree to meet it."

…

At ten o'clock in the evening, a transport plane flew over the forest on the outskirts of Port Fries and dropped a parachute.

The lizard crawling next to the sacred tree raised its crested head, stared at the parachute for a while, and wanted to stretch out its paws to touch it, but soon it seemed to have heard some order and moved its outstretched front paws. He shrank back and crawled beside the holy tree with a grunt.

From the moment he approached the edge of the forest, Ye Shi tensed up all his nerves.

It wasn't until the lizard calmed down that he breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his nervousness.

With his feet touching the ground, he deftly retracted his parachute.

The vegetation in the nearby area has been cleared away, leaving only a towering sacred tree standing in the center of the open space.

Clearing out those trees seems to be its order, and the purpose is probably to allow the fertility of the soil to gather near its roots.

According to the situation on Gaia, when it is fully developed, it will form a huge canopy, and the area under the canopy and the area outside the canopy will form a new forest kingdom.

Gazing at the entangled tree trunks, Ye Shi said hello cautiously.

"Hello... uh, can you hear me?"

His psychic powers have just awakened, and he is not very skilled in using them, making it difficult for him to communicate completely silently.

The atmosphere was quiet for a while, leaving only the gentle breeze and the rustling of leaves.

Just when Ye Shi was wondering whether his spiritual power was malfunctioning or his posture was wrong, the mysterious voice finally floated into his ears.

"Hello...is this your language? I guess it means greeting. We rarely say hello like this."

"That's right, it means greetings," Ye Shi had an expression of surprise in his eyes. He took two steps forward and looked up at the new crown of the tree and continued, "What should I call you?"

The slow voice continued to float from somewhere, directly into his mind.

"I don't have a name, and I haven't had much need for that thing for a long time... You are the first to use it, and you can call me whatever you like."

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Ye Shi always felt that there was a bit of expectation in the voice.

He hesitated for a moment and spoke in an uncertain tone.

"Tree of Life...what do you think of this name?"

Although the name sounded a bit rustic, he couldn't think of another name for a while.

However, even though it was a name he came up with on the spur of the moment, the huge holy tree seemed very satisfied, with its uneven crown swaying back and forth.

"Tree of life...sounds good, I thought you were going to call me slime mold or something."

Ye Shi said truthfully.

"I did think so."

"But I'm not that kind of thing at all," Tree of Life said with a hint of disdain in his voice, as if he was slurping his lips, "Slime mold... that kind of thing is too superficial, I It should be some kind of higher existence above this."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, stared at Ye Shi standing in front of him and said.

"Thank you, young human, for bringing my compatriots from a star five light years away. I believe and am convinced that those are my compatriots. Through her narrative, I finally understood my true appearance. What is..."

Ye Shi asked blankly.

"What is it?"

"It is life itself, or in your language, nature...I am nature."

It seemed to let out a hearty laugh, but only Ye Shi standing here could hear it.

After a long pause, it continued.

"Thanks to your help, I finally understood my mission. I will probably sleep for a while, and during this time I will redefine my life form. I will no longer be the person I was before... the person who grew up in A strain at the root of a tree, I will be the origin of all things, all living things in this forest.”

Ye Shi looked at it in surprise and stared at it for a long time.

Good guy.

Is this mutant slime mold a sperm? !

He tried to understand what it said, which probably meant that its consciousness would no longer be limited to the weak and shrinking body of the original strain of Naguo, but would become completely integrated with the earth.

Just like the indestructible Tree of Insof.

"Then this tree..." Ye Shi swallowed his saliva and asked.

"It's the projection I left in the world you can see, one of my countless branches." The Tree of Life said in a very soft voice, "We will probably stay with each other for a long time, of course. ...If you exclude me, I will remain silent as before, and you can just pretend that I don’t exist.”

Ye Shi said immediately.

"We certainly won't exclude you...in fact, I happen to bring with me the goodwill of our leader, who wants us to coexist peacefully."

"Haha... That's the best. Please say hello to him for me." The Tree of Life said with a smile, "I like you guys too. Although it's a bit noisy, it's also quite interesting... And those things taste good. really not bad."

Are you talking about those chemical fertilizers?

Ye Shi said with a smile.

"If you like it, I can have some sent over... Ah, but please don't do what you did before. It will be very troublesome for us."

The Tree of Life smiled kindly and said.

"Don't worry, unless you have that need, I won't do that kind of thing without authorization. However, it's not good to take your things for nothing. Is there anything I can do that can help you?"

Ye Shi wanted to say that it would be fine as before, but when he saw the big lizard, he suddenly felt something in his heart and said.

"Can you keep dangerous alien species away from the Baiyue Strait?"

Tree of Life asked curiously.

"How far away...how far do you mean? There must be a limit."

Ye Shi wanted to take out the map and draw, but thought that the other party might not be able to understand it, so he said.

"Start from your position and go all the way to the beach!"

The distance from here to the seaside is about 100 kilometers, including several settlements in the Baiyue Strait.

It is enough to use this area as an activity area for alliance residents.

As for the remaining vast forest, it is left to the players to fight monsters, hunt and gather.

Relatively speaking, this is a good compromise.

The Tree of Life nodded and said.

"It's easy. Just let my child stay here. Other beasts will naturally avoid it if they smell its scent. If there is a herd of beasts migrating to your settlement, I will let it drive it away for you. Of course, if If you encounter any danger when you go deep into the forest, it's none of my business. That's part of natural selection."

"I understand that what we are praying for is a relatively peaceful place to live. In the future, our settlements will also be concentrated on the coastlines on both sides of the strait and will not continue to go deeper into the forest."

Looking at the huge lizard, Ye Shi hesitated for a moment and said.

"But are you sure this guy won't hurt anyone? I feel... it doesn't look like a vegetarian."

"Haha, it is indeed not completely vegetarian. It mainly eats a kind of ants that are about as high as its toes. But don't worry, I have told it not to attack you. As long as you don't take the initiative to hurt it, most of them will It's still very docile...I can assure you."

Is it docile?

Looking at the big guy snoring at the base of the sacred tree, Ye Shi couldn't imagine how docile it looked.

After all, just over an hour ago, it went berserk and knocked over a forest with a single blow of its tail.

However, since the Tree of Life has already promised it, Ye Shi still believes its words.

"I will pass your words on to others."

"Thank you," the Tree of Life shook its crown slightly, and suddenly seemed to remember something, then continued, "By the way, there is one more thing."

Ye Shi asked, looking at it.

"What's up?"

"I heard from your friends that you plan to go to other stars in the future, right?"

There was a hint of expectation in the Tree of Life's voice, as if she was looking forward to a positive answer.

Ye Shi nodded and looked at him doubtfully.

"We have this plan...is there any problem?"

The voice coming from somewhere was filled with joyful laughter.

It is as happy as a child.

"That's great...please take my seed with you when you go on the road. I want it to visit other planets for me."

As if worried that he would refuse, the Tree of Life hurriedly added.

"This won't take up too much of your time, and it will be beneficial to you. I will let it follow your ship and provide you with oxygen. When you find a place where you can breathe, or where there is water, I will throw part of it away. Just go down."

"Whether it can survive depends on itself."
