Chapter 100 New Breed
Captain Madara could sense the strange looks from Xiaozhen and Mr. Cat, they must be laughing at him in their hearts. But he decided to ignore them all, because the cat-headed caterpillar was the most important thing now.
The caterpillar raised its head again, shyly and eagerly looking at Captain Madara. It has a pair of big friendly eyes, soft and cute. In fact, every detail is carefully designed by Ika Toy Company, which makes every customer feel pity. Whenever it stares at Captain Madara like this, Captain Madara can't help but want to spend more money on it.
It is said that Homo sapiens will have this mentality when raising their beloved pets.
Captain Ban was now feeding it a kind of selected fruit from the advanced feed. Unlike the intermediate feed, when the caterpillar swallowed a selected fruit, a hazy halo would appear on its body, which would last for about 2 seconds before disappearing. If it continued to eat the selected fruit, the halo would continue to appear and produce a dazzling feeling, as if the caterpillar's evolution was almost imminent.
But in fact, if you look at the data of the caterpillar, you will find that the green experience value has only reached about one-third of the gray experience bar, and there is still a long way to go before evolution. But Captain Ban is not discouraged. He bought new catalysts, nutrients, and matching evolution-promoting drugs, which can greatly increase the bonus of feeding experience value. At present, it is not easy for the caterpillar's experience to increase so much in such a short period of time. This is thanks to Captain Ban's targeted purchases and reasonable feeding.
Of course, in the eyes of Xiaozhen and Mr. Cat, this is just African leeks spending money.
In fact, not long ago, Captain Ban posted a message in the second-hand egg treasure market, "My egg turned out to be a common species, do I need to continue to cultivate it?? "
Among the replies such as "Just raise it as an ordinary pet or if you feel lucky, take a gamble and try your luck at evolving it" and "It's useless, it's a waste of time", the reply of an egg player with the ID "Fugu sx602" impressed Captain Ban the most. The player replied: "Even the most ordinary pet egg is hatched by you with great effort, can you cancel it out by saying it's useless? Believe in your fate with it."
Captain Ban read this reply for a long time, then he placed an order for the official recommended high-efficiency experience quick-growth package. By the way, he also placed an order for six bags of high-quality feed at a 15% discount, so he was not ripped off, absolutely not.
At the same time, Yan Zhu's classmate Zhu Yifan was browsing the official forum of Shuidandan Baby. He was a recent transfer student. In terms of bloodline, he was half alien. His father was a Levitician from the Wide Area Star Region, and his mother was a local human. In terms of appearance, he was no different from the locals. Of course, most of the common Homo sapiens in the galaxy were not very different from the local humans.
He was reading Captain Madara's post, and seeing all the players' pessimistic replies, he casually posted a message saying that he believed in your fate with it. Ten minutes later, he found that his reply was actually replied by the original poster, Captain Madara: "Thank you."
Zhu Yifan couldn't help but laugh. His two female classmates, Yao Xuehan and Yao Xuemu, walked behind him. Yao Xuehan said, "What are you laughing at? Are you cheating newbies on the forum again?" The twin sisters were both from Levites. Recently, because of a strange faction struggle, they transferred to this elementary school with Zhu Yifan and were in the same class.
Yao Xuemu said: "He is creating performance for his father again." Zhu Yifan's father now works at Ika Toy Company and is a high-ranking pet designer. Many of the new pets launched by Ika Toy Company are designed by Zhu Yifan's father.
Zhu Yifan looked at the post and said, "If more players spend money, my dad's bonus can be increased."
"Tsk tsk." Yao Xuehan asked him, "Are there any interesting new varieties recently?"
"I know! It's the snowflake dwarf and the ball bee!"
Zhu Yifan shook his head. "Both of these are considered old varieties. The new variety my father is designing now refers to some local legends."
"Wow."
"This is the most important and mysterious model that Ika Company has put so much effort into. No player has opened it yet. Look, the thread discussing this new model has been filled to the brim."
"You're getting more and more tempting the more you talk. What is it?"
Zhu Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, I have one here, which I stole from my dad's laboratory."
"Show us now!"
"I'll show it to you when I hatch." Zhu Yifan said proudly.
Mr. Cat jumped in front of Xiaozhen and said, "I have something to tell you."
"What?" Xiao Zhen asked vigilantly.
"What's that expression on your face?"
"After these days of harmonious coexistence, every time you want to tell me something, I will always be subconsciously alert." Xiao Zhen said, "Then respected Supervisory Eye, may I ask if there is anything important you want to tell me?"
Mr. Cat said: "I recently studied the products of Ika Toy Company. The pets of this company are all carefully designed genetic engineering products."
"Yes. I know that. That cat-headed caterpillar is torturing our respectable Captain Madara and dragging him into the vast ocean of krypton gold."
“Using genetic engineering to design an appearance that is loved by many creatures, and then using the hatching process to deepen the sense of substitution, while also adding nurturing elements, and coupled with a mysterious and unknown future development path, this can indeed attract many customers to consume, or in other words, spend money.”
"It is indeed true. The trap of consumerism continues to emerge. What do you want to say?"
"I was inspired by the leeks harvesting business of Ika Toy Company, so I took one of your things and did an experiment."
Xiao Zhen suddenly had a bad feeling, "My stuff? What?"
"I was just doing a little experiment."
"Last time you did a small experiment in my school's experimental building and turned our school into a Cthulhu-style advent scene. What did you do this time?"
Mr. Cat's tail wagged, "Ah, don't get excited..."
Xiao Zhen lifted Mr. Cat up and said, "Tell me! What did you take from me? What did you do?"
"I told you not to get excited," Mr. Cat said calmly, "I took your cockroach ranch."
"……What?"
"Anyway, you won't feel bad if I kill all the cockroaches in the cockroach farm . So can you let me go now?"
"But that's necessary food for Pu Pu." Xiao Zhen didn't put Mr. Cat down. He continued to ask nervously, "Then what? What did you do to them?"
"Oh, go and see for yourself."
True came to his cockroach farm, which he had not visited since Poppy began its journey into the sewer. It had always been taken care of by the clay people. True hesitated for a moment by the greenhouse box, then lifted the lid.
“…”
Mr. Cat walked over to his side. "What? Are you shocked?"
"..." After being silent for dozens of seconds, Xiao Zhen picked up Mr. Cat and shouted, "Where are all the cockroaches?"
"They are all on your ranch."
“That’s not a black cockroach at all!”
"That's it." Mr. Cat tilted his head, "Look, have you become a little cuter?"
“…”
The ranch is still bustling with people, but now the creatures moving around are no longer black flat cockroaches that look like local cockroaches, but cute spherical creatures with fur. They look like a ball of hair with six legs and two round black eyes on the front. They are indeed cute enough to make Homo sapiens call them cute.
"Implanting hair follicle genes into black cockroaches has slightly adjusted their appearance. I believe most intelligent creatures will like it."
Xiao Zhen endured the complaint that you really have nothing to do, and asked, "But why are these fur balls colorful?"
"Because I want to distinguish them. I want to divide them into teams."
"Team?"
"Hmm." Mr. Cat stretched out his cat paw. "I have divided the fur balls into six colors: gray, white, black, red, blue, and brown. Then I put the fur balls of different colors in different areas."
"I see it." Inside the greenhouse box, different balls of fur are concentrated in different areas, as if they were divided into six camps.
"I noticed that after distinguishing the fur colors, these fur balls spontaneously gathered together based on their own colors. It can be said that the fur balls of different colors are now different countries. We can call them Gray Country, White Country, Black Country, Red Country, Blue Country, and Brown Country." Mr. Cat said, "You see, they each occupied their own city, leaving a public area in the middle."
“Will fur balls of different colors fight?”
"For food. There has been no large-scale war so far." Mr. Cat said, "Your clay figures have a transcendent status in these six fur ball countries. Now quickly order your clay figures to deliver some food to these fur balls."
Xiaozhen ordered two clay figures to carry a small box of potato chips into the ranch.
As soon as they saw the ladder descending from above, the fur balls from all sides immediately became agitated, and they each sent their own representatives to greet the clay figures. Six fur balls of different colors surrounded the two clay figures and rubbed them with their fur. The clay figures seemed to be used to it.
Xiao Zhen asked: "What are they doing?"
"Your clay figures are sacred and inviolable angels. In these days, it is the clay figures that come to bring them food. So in their poor minds, the clay figures are the messengers of God and the givers of food. This is their courtesy to the angels."
"Oh. Why only six?"
"If any faction brings more people, they will be attacked and tortured to death by the other five factions for disrespecting the angels. This is what happened last time. It is a ritual for them to have one person from each faction. You see, they will not move the potato chips until the clay man leaves. They will not move until the clay man sits on the ladder and leaves."
The clay figures climbed onto the elevator platform, which rose and took the figures away from the ranch kingdom.
The fur balls began to carry the potato chips back to their own territory.
"There's another interesting thing." said Mr. Cat.
"What?"
"Remember when Pu Pu was here, you would send clay figures in every day to catch black cockroaches?"
"I remember. What's wrong?"
"These things have become fixed in their minds. The clay angels bring food, but they also take away lives. So now, even if Pupu is not here and the clay angels do not come in to capture them, they will select a few strong and healthy individuals among them and kill them, and then pile the bodies next to the elevator platform."
"Is this a sacrifice to the angels?"
"Yes, it can be said to be a primitive form of sacrifice. Every camp does this." Mr. Cat said, "Don't you think it's interesting?"
"..." Xiao Zhen said, "So what are you going to do now? Observe the evolutionary history of the hairy cockroach?"
"Oh, I asked the craftsmen at the Overwatch Office to make this thing." Mr. Cat pushed out a model tower from the laboratory. "Have you seen the video of the local hamster challenge? It's something like that."
Xiao Zhen went closer to the tower and took a closer look. It was a tower of levels. Each floor was carefully designed with various mechanisms, electric shocks, piercing traps, secret room traps, etc., and at the top level there was a small cake that exuded a fragrant aroma.
"You want to let the hairy cockroach play the game of rushing up the tower?"
"My prizes are very generous." Mr. Cat replied, "Look at your ranch box. I have installed a prize distribution bag above the city center of each camp. As long as a fur ball climbs to the top of the tower and touches the small cake on the top of the tower, the smart mechanism will be triggered, and the prize distribution bag above the fur ball camp will open, scattering enough Wangwang senbei for their camp to eat."
"Why Wang Wang Senbei? Never mind. This trick sounds so familiar to me." Xiao Zhen said, "I remember some rich guys in the interstellar world also like to play this game."
"From today on, I will stop distributing food. You also order your clay figurines not to go to the pasture to feed them for the time being. After starving them for a day, I will put this tower into the pasture. Then, it will be an interesting battle between fur balls!"
"You really have a bad taste."
Mr. Cat said, "Aren't you interested in which team wins? There is already a popularity vote online. The most popular team is the white team, or Xiaobai for short. White is indeed the color that is most likely to attract love."
"Online?"
"Yeah! Actually, I did a live stream."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, your pace is too fast."
"Well, this live broadcast is not only for aliens, but also for local audiences. I added a little filter so they would just think it was a new breed of hamster." Mr. Cat said, "I opened rewards, and now many viewers have started to reward and cheer for their own teams."
“…”
"To be honest, I've received quite a few tips since the livestream began. The alien viewers also like it. I say, leeks, you should learn how to reap the spoils from me."
"Are you, the Eyes of Supervision, really free and have nothing to do!!!"
Cheng Jiaying is cleaning the classroom.
The chickenpox incident a few days ago was confirmed to be a false alarm due to similar symptoms. They soon returned to school with regrets and missed the holidays. The election for the squad leader was cancelled. This was their last school year in elementary school. This cancellation probably meant that there would be no election next time. Cheng Jiaying felt a little regretful. She really hoped that Yan Zhu could be elected as the squad leader.
Yan Zhu is her best friend. To Cheng Jiaying, her good friend Yan Zhu’s wish is equal to her own wish.
She lowered her head and swept the dust with a broom.
Pop.
Something rolled on the ground.
Cheng Jiaying squatted down and took a look. It was an egg.
It looks like an egg.
Who brought this to school? She thought so and picked it up. She looked around and saw that the egg was very close to Qiao Yue's seat, and also very close to the seats of another girl and transfer student Zhu Yifan.
It's already time for school to be over, and most people have left.
Cheng Jiaying thought about it, put the egg into her schoolbag, and decided to come back and ask tomorrow.
