This Game Is Too Realistic

Accompanied by bursts of piercing sounds, dark red tentacles penetrated the crawler's body like lightning.

The big mouth dripping with black blood let out a hoarse roar, trying to break free from the shackles of the tentacles. However, soon another tentacle came rushing towards it and penetrated its forehead.

Black blood splattered.

The forehead, which was hard enough to hold 7 bullets, was actually pierced by this seemingly soft tentacle.

Luo Yu stared dumbfoundedly at Xiao Yu, who was covered in black blood, and the crawler that was stabbed by it with its tentacles into a bathroom nozzle. His eyes gradually changed from surprise and surprise to fiery.

This way of fighting is somewhat curious.

But it’s not important!

Just be awesome and that’s it!

"Hahaha! My great boy! You have finally grown up!" Luo Yu walked forward overjoyed and reached out to touch Xiao Yu's head.

When someone close to her by blood touched her forehead, Xiaoyu made a cute "beep" sound in her mouth and rubbed his hand.

It looks like a coquettish cat.

This slippery texture does indeed feel a bit like a hairless cat.

Although Luo Yu was not able to accept the avant-garde style of this "SSSR-level divine pet" at first, he got used to it over time.

Can kill a creeper with bare hands!

Already very strong!

You can try "Tyrant" next time!

Just when Luo Yu was happy that he had found the secret to raising a baby, Xiao Yu had already pounced next to the crawler he had just hunted and started feasting.

Before that, it had already eaten three of them!

"This guy's appetite seems to have increased again."

Remember that at first two crawlers were enough for it to eat.

Now I have to eat four to five a day.

Luo Yu touched his chin with interest, took out his notebook, flipped through a few pages, and wrote down this clue.

[On the 11th day, the amount of food doubled, but the volume did not change significantly. 】

But at this moment, he suddenly made an even more astonishing discovery.

I saw patches of gray-brown hardened cuticle growing on the surface of the skirt-like scarlet fungi on Xiaoyu's lower limbs.

The largest piece is about half the size of a palm, and the smaller one is only as big as a thumb, like a knight's armor.

Since the area where the cuticle grows is not very large, it cannot even be noticed without looking carefully.

Luo Yu stretched out his hand to touch it curiously, and then scratched it with a dagger to test its strength.

Xiaoyu, who was just enjoying his meal, didn't react at all, and obviously didn't feel any pain. No matter how hard he tried, there were still no scratches on the surface of the cuticle.

Feeling the strength of this "organic armor", a hint of surprise quickly appeared in Luo Yu's eyes, and he excitedly recorded this discovery in his notebook.

[On the 11th day, organic armor grows! The armor area is suspected to increase with growth! 】

After closing the note in his hand, Luo Yu looked at Xiao Yu like a happy old father.

"Xiaoyu... grow up quickly!"

“It’s up to you to advance to the top T0 level!”

…

B4 floor browsing room.

Someone also had a fatherly smile on his face.

But it's not because of Xiao Yu's changes, but because of the books compiled by the Hong Merchants Guild.

With the help of the little princess of the Honey Badger Kingdom, the Hong Merchants Guild's recent work of sorting out books has obviously sped up a lot.

These books, written in the prosperous era and even before, not only brought great help to his work, but also were of great help to other managers in the league.

As the size of the alliance grows, the issues that need to be considered are also increasing exponentially. Although many things can be explained in one sentence, the specific process of solving the problem is very long even if it takes up the length of a book. Difficult to describe in detail.

The content of these books on the bookshelf is the previous experience of "what to do specifically" and what situations may arise after that.

Although the era of prosperity has come to an end.

But these assets, which are more valuable than gold, should not be buried there.

Standing next to the bookshelf and flipping through the books just sent by the Hongshang Guild, Chu Guang suddenly found a note inside.

There is a line of beautiful handwriting on it.

It should have been left by Avni.

[It is written in the book that people distribute materials through the market, and the market makes people slaves to money. Why don't we adopt a more efficient way to coordinate and allocate the resources that everyone needs? 】

I didn't expect that the little girl holding the picture book would be interested in such a boring academic issue.

Chu Guang couldn't help but smile when he was surprised, picked up the pen and wrote his own notes in the blank space of the note paper.

[People may become slaves to anything because of desire, not just money, but also beauty, health, faith, honor or power...but this does not mean it is absolutely wrong. If we were only satisfied with filling our stomachs and reproducing, no one would travel across the mountains and ridges in search of fire, let alone anyone discover how to make fire with flints and sticks, and our civilization would not have emerged. 】

[The distribution of resources through religious power and royal power is not more noble than the distribution through currency, and of course the reverse is also true. In essence, they are all tools for allocating resources, and people will always find better ones while exploring the future, and then abandon the ones that are no longer useful. 】

[But you are right to be vigilant. I am surprised that you can think like this at your age. Even if hope is not necessarily a bad thing, people should always be careful not to indulge in it and forget the original intention, which is to ignite the entire forest in order to continue the hard-won fire. 】

[Especially when you hold fire or power. 】

If Summer asked him this question, Chu Guangxun thought that he probably wouldn't tell him all his thoughts without reservation.

It’s not that I’m worried about being copied by him.

If he could really reform himself and carry out some kind of reform in the Honey Badger Kingdom, it would be a good thing for the survivors there.

I'm afraid that this guy is like a chameleon. He has figured out the alliance's way of doing things but still uses the same old methods, playing tricks with himself, which is really hard to guard against.

As for Avni, it's different.

She was only eighteen years old, and she was a girl. She might be employed in the Alliance, but after returning to the Honey Badger Kingdom, she would probably be destined to be a flower vase.

Even if she learns something from her, Chu Guang is not worried about the negative impact. Instead, she may influence the next generation of the royal family through her.

Using economy and education to complete the changes to Luoxia Province is itself a part of the alliance's post-war reconstruction plan.

Several kingdoms in the desert have not declined to the point of hopelessness, and will even usher in a period of prosperity due to post-war reconstruction. Therefore, mild improvements are more suitable for them than radical changes.

He tucked the note back into the book.

Chu Guang was about to put the books back on the bookshelf when he suddenly thought that this was not a place where he could just borrow books, so he patted his head and tapped on the VM.

Soon, footsteps were heard at the door of the browsing room, and then a clear bell rang.

"Please come in."

At the same time as Chu Guang spoke, the alloy door opened.

Lu Bei, the captain of his personal guard, walked in from outside, put his right fist on his left chest, and gave a neat military salute.

"Master Manager, what are your orders?"

Chu Guang walked over and handed the book in his hand into his hand.

"Send it to the Honey Badger Kingdom's office on Embassy Street for me and hand it over to Miss Avni Honey Badger there."

When Lu Bei heard this, his eyes suddenly shone, and his back straightened up, as if he was holding a treasure, and he took the book with both hands.

"Promise to complete the mission!"

Chu Guang was sure that his feeling was not wrong. This guy must have wanted to go to his grandma's house, so he coughed lightly and gave instructions.

"I don't want to hear weird rumors."

Lu Bei stood up straight with a serious look on his face.

"I swear to you with my life! If there are any rumors about you and Miss Avni, you will kill me!"

"It doesn't have to be this way."

Chu Guang looked at Lu Bei with bright eyes, dumbfounded.

This young man doesn't even have full hair himself, but he cares about other people's gossip.

Perhaps, he should change to a more mature and stable guard captain.

The number of survivors and players in the alliance has increased a lot recently. He is considering establishing a third corps of the alliance to accommodate those lone wolf players who do not want to join the player corps and prefer to hang out with NPCs.

Chu Guang planned to transfer Lu Bei to the Third Corps.

Although he is a bit younger, his loyalty is obvious to everyone in the league.

Watching his guard captain go out, Chu Guang was about to return to the bookshelf when Xiao Qi's voice suddenly came to his ears.

"Master, the mother body you asked player Luo Yu to cultivate seems to have undergone new changes."

"Xiaoyu?"

"OK!"

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Chu Guang's heart moved slightly and he returned to sit down next to the computer.

Almost as soon as he sat on the sofa, the light blue holographic screen opened above the computer pen.

The picture captured by the Hummingbird drone was also presented to him at the same time.

Looking at the ferocious mother body on the screen, Chu Guang had a surprised expression on his face, thought for two seconds and then spoke.

"Let Heya know and arrange a physical examination immediately! Prepare to check Xiaoyu's evolutionary stage!"

Solving the slime mold on the B6 floor requires Xiaoyu to devour the mother nest there, and the prerequisite is for Xiaoyu to understand the concept of hunting and master the ability to hunt.

Now it obviously meets this condition.

However, whether other conditions are met requires further research.

Sitting on the coffee table, Xiao Qi swayed her calves, imitating the guard captain who just came in, and playfully saluted the alliance's military salute.

"receive!"

…

The office of Honey Badger Kingdom is located at the corner of Embassy Street. Because it is far away from the core area, the area here is actually larger than the office in Boulder City.

Its main building is a three-story small bungalow, with two common palm trees planted in the oasis in the yard - a gift donated to the royal family by merchants from the Honey Badger Kingdom.

Although Oasis No. 3 has been reduced to an occupied territory and the honey badger royal family has been exiled, it is still their hometown for the people who once lived there.

Therefore, there are often survivors who have been exiled to the southern part of the River Valley Province and donate money or goods to the Honey Badger royal family.

Although most of them were worthless things, Acting King Summer still ordered the staff here to accept them.

After all, that is what everyone wants.

What's more, they are living under someone else's roof now, and those who are still thinking of them at this time are all loyal and good friends.

Hearing the knocking on the window, the old guard in the guard booth yawned and raised his sleepy face from his elbows.

Glancing at the book in the arms of the visitor, he thought he was here to donate something again, and it didn't look like it was valuable.

However, thinking of Lord Summer's order, as a servant loyal to the royal family, he still replied vaguely.

"name?"

"Leader of the Alliance Guards Regiment Lu Bei!"

Although he lowered his voice, the old guard could still hear the words "guards regiment" and "corps commander" clearly.

The sleepiness was instantly swept away from his face, and the old man seemed to be more than ten years younger. He stood up from the chair with a loud sound, his eyes widened and he said.

"You, you are from the Guards Regiment——"

Seeing that he suddenly spoke so loudly, Lu Bei quickly stopped him.

"Shh! Why are you shouting so loudly? Keep your voice down!"

Suddenly realizing his abruptness, the old servant quickly said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I am the old fool who has offended me. Excuse me...what is the purpose of your coming here?"

The Guards Regiment is the manager's personal bodyguard, and it is also the shadow of the manager. This is a well-known fact in the alliance.

The commander of the Guards Corps appeared here. No matter what the reason was, he was sure it was not a trivial matter.

"It's not a matter of offense. The manager told me that my coming here must be kept secret. Otherwise, why would I change my clothes and come here!"

Tightening the brim of his hood, Lu Bei corrected him with a serious look on his face, and then showed the book in his arms.

"...In addition, I have been entrusted by you to put this book into the hands of Miss Avni Honey Badger."

The old servant seemed to understand something, and an extremely excited expression suddenly appeared on his face. He quickly reached out to pick it up, but Lu Bei took a step back.

"Where's Miss Avni?" he asked seriously, "The manager asked me to hand it over to her. She'd better come down and get it."

The old servant said quickly.

"Miss, she hasn't come back from the Merchant Guild yet. This is a task taught to her by the manager. Don't worry, when she comes back, I will hand over your adult's things to her immediately!"

Lu Bei hesitated for a moment, but thought that it would not be appropriate to stand here and wait all the time. He went directly to the Hongshang Guild and was afraid that he would miss it, so he nodded.

"Then remember it and be sure to hand it over to her!"

Just after he finished his instructions, Lu Bei suddenly thought of something else and quickly added another sentence.

"Also, don't tell anyone that I was here today!"

"Yes! Don't worry! If I dare to say one more word, even if you don't blame me, His Majesty the King will not be able to spare me."

Looking at Lu Bei with a serious look on his face, the old servant became more convinced of his guess. He nodded his head with joy.

If it was a serious matter, would there be any need to be so secretive?

It must be because it is not serious!

That’s why I’m embarrassed to let others know!

Not daring to touch the book, the old servant didn't even dare to take another look at the cover. He carefully placed it in the drawer to protect it, planning to hand it to the young lady as soon as she came back.

Watching Lu Bei leave, he clenched his fists excitedly and his shoulders shook uncontrollably.

kingdom!

There's help!

…

Shelter No. 404, infirmary on floor B3.

After anesthesia, Xiao Yu was carried to the scanning bed. Luo Yu stood beside him and looked at it with worry, and then looked at Chu Guang nervously.

"Is it going to be okay?"

Those idiots on the forum were shouting about being hacked every day, which made him so frightened that he didn't even dare to speak up during this period.

Although he complained that he couldn't go anywhere because of this little guy, if the dog planner really listened to the suggestions of those guys and balanced it out, he would certainly be reluctant to let it go.

"Don't worry, the inhibitor only has an anesthetic effect and will not affect its health." Chu Guang comforted him and patted his shoulder. "It will take a while before the experiment is over. You should go back first."

Luo Yu asked softly.

"Can I wait outside?"

Chu Guang thought for a while and nodded.

"Can."

The alloy door opens.

As Luo Yu left, he slowly closed it again.

Xiaoyu, who was lying on the scanning bed, let out an unconscious "beep", just like the purring sound of a sleeping cat.

The voice sounded like coquettishness.

However, Chu Guang could sense that the emotions flowing in the sound waves clearly contained a hint of anxiety.

It doesn't like this feeling.

Chu Guang looked at Heya who was busy in front of the console and asked.

"Can the test be performed without anesthesia?"

Without looking away from the screen, Heya replied casually.

"Of course...but can you guarantee that it won't suddenly go berserk and attack the two of us?"

"I can protect you."

Heya curled her lips and said teasingly.

"Oh, although this sounds very safe, why gamble on that probability?"

Chu Guang shrugged his shoulders.

"...Okay, what are the results of the analysis?"

"You asked at the right time, the scan data just came out..."

Stretching out her index finger and tapping a few times on the holographic screen, Heya crossed her arms, stared at the chart in front of her and pondered for a long time, and said in a determined tone.

"The current progress has reached 51%. If this trend continues, it should not take long to enter the next stage."

Chu Guang suddenly asked curiously.

"What if we go directly to the next stage?"

Heya said without hesitation.

"It will in turn be swallowed up by the mother nest on the B6 floor. After all, it is like a child now. Even if we give it a lot of resources, it cannot be the opponent of the old guy who slaughtered the entire floor of the shelter... It's like putting a kid with a shotgun in a room with a ruthless murderer, what do you think it would be like?"

Chu Guang frowned.

"What if this murderer is incapacitated? For example -"

"Inject a large amount of inhibitors?" Seeing through his thoughts, Heya said in a teasing tone, "If possible, I would like to do that. But devouring is a long-term and continuous process, and it is difficult for you to ensure that it only affects someone. Planting slime mold is effective...it seems to be waking up soon, you can call the young man back."

Chu Guang nodded, gave up on the sudden idea, nodded to the camera in the corner, and asked Xiao Qi to open the door of the infirmary.

At this moment, at the door of the infirmary, Luo Yu was pacing back and forth anxiously.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened.

Hearing the noise, he immediately looked towards the door of the infirmary, but before he could see anything clearly, he was hit by a scarlet figure and fell directly to the corner of the corridor.

Almost without a breath, Luo Yu stared at the culprit lying on top of him.

"What are you doing? Do you want to kill me?"

"Ugh!"

A pitiful expression appeared on the face that looked more and more like a human being.

Looking at that "pitiful" look, Luo Yu was about to scold it, but suddenly thought that he had sent it to the laboratory for research for so long for the mission.

Feeling a little guilty for no reason in his heart, he sighed softly and reached out to touch its head.

"Okay, I don't want to either, but the mission... there's nothing I can do about it, not to mention it's for your own good. You've been in there alone for so long, thank you for the hard work!"

"Come on, I'll take you to some sweets!"

"Ugh!!!"

Perhaps because she understood his comfort, or perhaps because she heard Tang, Xiaoyu's face suddenly showed a happy expression, and the tentacles on the back of her head were waving like seaweed.

However, it did not get off his body. Instead, it came closer, and the skirt-shaped fungi pressed up like tracks.

Luo Yu's face turned blue when he was pressed, his eyes turned white, and his eyes were so round that he wanted to fall out, and he almost died on the spot.

Good guy!

You can’t tell it from the outside!

This weight is at least two hundred kilograms!

Looking at Xiaoyu and Luoyu who were "stuck together" outside the door, Heya, who was holding her arms, frowned slightly, and a sentence suddenly popped out of her mouth.

"He shouldn't have...developed feelings."

Chu Guang's expression was subtle.

"Can't tell."

Normally speaking, after being together for a long time, even a fishing rod will develop feelings, let alone a living thing.

Heya sighed and scratched her silver-white hair.

"It's best not to do that, mutant slime mold... At least according to my observations, the minds of these creatures are as unstable as their DNA. They do not have parents, relatives, friends, etc., a series of complex concepts that are unique to human society. , the so-called closeness is probably just an illusion. You should have noticed that it is not even afraid of preying on its own kind."

"Yes," Chu Guang nodded, "but it is true that it is close by blood, and so far, it has not shown any strong aggression towards people."

Heya glanced at him.

"But what about after devouring the mother nest on the B6 floor? It will always absorb some of the things that originally belonged to that mother nest...you know what I'm talking about."

It's not just fragments of genetic material that are absorbed.

It also includes part of the memory, knowledge, experience, instinct of the devoured person...or something abstractly called "soul" by the organism.

In fact, the reason why Xiao Yu learned to hunt was not because he taught it by constantly hunting crawlers, as Luo Yu thought.

But a more original and direct method——

That is, through its digestive system, it digests the flesh and blood of its prey.

In fact, Xiaoyu's attack method is to use tentacles to imitate rifle bullets, inflicting penetrating damage to the crawlers.

Even down to the aiming position, Luo Yu's shooting habits are almost the same.

This part of the knowledge comes from the "devoured" memory fragments about death. Those evolved "armors" also come from those memories——

'Those prey died because they were unable to defend themselves against penetrating injuries. ’

'So it needs armor that can withstand bullets. ’

This is also the scariest thing about slime molds.

They learn from the carcasses of their prey, and they learn the experience of survival and death at the same time.

As long as they need to, they can survive in a vacuum and can even resist the impact of metal fragments at several times the speed of sound!

And as long as there are still some tissues that survive, no matter how serious the damage is, no matter what method is used, they will always have a way to come back to life.

It is no exaggeration to say that they have controlled evolution and have ascended to a realm that human civilization is temporarily unaware of.

Chu Guang pondered for a moment and said.

"What's your suggestion?"

Heya shook her head.

"I don't know... of course the plan to clean up the B6 layer will continue. I need the research equipment there. No matter what method is used, the slime mold there must be cleaned up. However, I suggest that it is best to give up on domesticating them. idea."

Chu Guang asked immediately.

"Is there any scientific evidence?"

Heya shook her head again.

"There is no evidence that it is impossible, but the probability of success is very low."

This time Chu Guang pondered for a little longer.

Looking at the two figures outside the corridor, he thought for a long time and finally spoke slowly.

“I trust my residents.”

"It's like they trust me."

Heya couldn't help but ask.

"But what if something goes wrong?"

Suddenly, Chu Guang smiled faintly as if he had figured it out.

"Just solve the problem."

"It's also part of the manager's job to wipe their butts."

(
