After lunch and returning to the office, Zhao Nuo sat on the leather chair, and suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

The "battlefield intuition" cultivated from FPS games has played a role again. At this time, he always felt that something was not quite right, and then quickly realized the problem:

――It's too quiet.

The "princess's" office is next door to her, the girl who is always full of swear words and very uncivilized when she plays games at home on weekdays. Today is extraordinarily quiet, as if she was possessed by Zhou Yan, who was in the same room as her.

"What's the situation?"

Although he felt that he was worried, Zhao Nuo still planned to go and see what was going on.

Walking to the door of the office that is currently occupied by Christine, he turned the doorknob and opened the door, and then suddenly his eyes lit up-

The reaction speed practiced in the action game came in handy again at this moment, Zhao Nuo bent down suddenly, and a stream of flames sprayed from where his head was just now, fortunately he dodged quickly, otherwise he would probably turn into a roast turkey now.

"**, what are you doing?"

Looking at the small metal bottle hanging at the door, Zhao Nuo scolded angrily.

"Didn't you say you had to beware of a man in black clothes, so I used the props given by Zhou Yan to set up a simple mechanism." Christine didn't lift her head when she spoke.

"I'm telling you to watch out for him, not for you to kill him."

Zhao Nuo tore off the small flamethrower hanging at the door and put it on the table on the side. Then he walked up to the "princess" and looked at the scene on the "alienware" LCD screen. Asked:

"What kind of game is this?"

On the screen, a background of fluid is constantly flowing, and Christine is in control of a strange-looking creature that looks a bit like a tadpole or some kind of worm. The way it was constantly swimming around, it looked very obscene.

"Evolutionary Journey, I just bought it from Steam, haven't you heard of it?" Kristen asked.

Zhao Nuo shook his head honestly.

――Recently, there have been a lot of things going on at the company, and the time spent playing games on my own has decreased a lot. I want to play a casual game to relax, and I accidentally encounter a strange thing like "Leisure Farm 2". So he hadn't touched any new games in a while.

For new games that have just hit the market, though. Naturally, he was also more curious:

"Is this something like Spore?"

A game on the screen called Evolutionary Journey. It looks a bit like Spore and belongs to that kind of "evolutionary game". He is still quite impressed by the work that amazed him back then.

"The gameplay is different, this is just a simple eat." Christine said as she manipulated the black tadpole to swim to the right. Swallowed a barbed red orb. Immediately after that, a prompt appeared on the screen:

"The linear virus Xmas engulfed the globular virus X1. Earn 3 upgrade points. ”

“…… It looks so boring. Zhao Nuo commented.

Although the first phase of Spore is also devouring, the last few parts of the game are very distinctive. And judging from Christine's statement, it seems that this "Evolutionary Journey" can only be swallowed constantly. There's nothing else to play.

"It's actually quite interesting, like 'Snake'." Christine said and let her control "tadpole" eat a spherical virus next to her. Then the two of them saw a wriggling black sphere appear on the left side of the screen, flying towards it at a rapid speed.

"**, the antibody is coming!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Christine hurriedly manipulated the virus to rush to the left, and just after dodging the flying antibodies, several white linear objects appeared on the screen, rushing over quickly.

"The immune system is working, I need to get out of here!"

Before Christine could finish speaking, she saw that her linear virus had been surrounded by thin white lines, and then it was entangled in those things, and it was directly torn into four pieces and melted into the dark liquid in the background.

"Damn!"

Seeing that the character she had worked so hard for a long time was killed, Christine was so angry that she slammed the keyboard, Zhao Nuo quickly stopped her from destroying the laptop, and then asked:

"How about letting me play? You should be tired, right? ”

Although this game seems boring, Zhao Nuo still wants to experience it a little. After all, although the graphics of the game are simple, you can still see that a lot of thought has been put into it, and the quality should not be much worse.

As one of the founders of Hellfire, he decided he needed to do "market research" by playing a new single-player game.

"Oh, are you going to play? All right. Christine sighed and sat aside, obviously still haunted by the tragic death she had just had.

clicked on the new game, and Zhao Nuo immediately saw a black "tadpole" appear on the screen, but it was much smaller than the tadpole that Christine had just manipulated.

The game's buttons are very simple, except for the esc that calls out the menu, only the direction of the up, down, left, right, and left controls, and there is not even a common "attack key" or "investigation button".

――It looks like a casual game, so you might be able to relax with this thing.

Zhao Nuo, who wanted to play casual games before but was victimized by "Leisurely Farm 2", tentatively controlled the pitch-black tadpole swimming in the unknown ocean, and then immediately noticed that a small green sphere appeared in front of him.

"What is this?" He asked Christine.

"Eating the green virus increases the maximum amount of health, the red virus increases the movement speed, and the blue virus increases defense." Christine explained.

As he spoke, Zhao Nuo had already devoured the green virus, and immediately saw the level-up prompt, and his virus had been upgraded to level 2.

"Oh, that's interesting."

Zhao Nuo, who has not played a casual game for a long time, also plans to use the game guò at this time to relax his already tired body and mind.

After devouring a few more spherical viruses that had no ability to resist, his virus had risen to level 3, and his body size was a circle larger than before, and his movement speed was much faster.

After sweeping away the "food" in this area, I swam to a nearby "sea area" and saw a large white ball floating in the middle of the sea area, hundreds of times larger than the black tadpole I controlled.

"What is this?"

"Ah, that's a vegetative cell, you can go in and absorb nutrients and you can immediately go up several levels. I've never encountered anything like this, you're in luck. Christine explained, with obvious jealousy in her voice.

"Luck is also part of strength." Zhao Nuo said and let the tadpole plunge in, and then-

The "vegetative cells" made a "grunt" sound and began to rapidly deform, taking on the appearance of a humanoid embryo. At the same time, a prompt appeared again in the center of the screen:

"Congratulations on your evolution into a small embryo, now you need to absorb nutrients to continue your evolution, go and defeat your evil twin brother and eat him!"

……

Seeing the completely unexpected hint, the two looked at each other, and a mysterious silence hung in the office.

"I'm convinced of this design." Zhao Nuo complained calmly. (To be continued......) R752
