16. Natural selection
Outside, it was a haze. Wang Yao noticed that in the haze, a shadow occupied the entire upper right corner......
Maybe it's a small bubble, or maybe it's a huge cell.
You currently own Component 1
[Cilia: The price is 1 point, which can increase the speed by 1. Use only in liquid environments. γ
[You can freely set the size and structure of your body, and this step costs evolution points.] γ
As the prompt fell, Wang Yao felt that something was more in his mind and thought about it. In the scene below when time stopped, an extra wiggling cilia appeared on his cell.
Wang Yao found that he could freely choose where to place the cilia. However, he is still only a basic cell at this time, in other words, where the eyes are attached is the face, and it doesn't matter where the cilia are placed.

Select Add Component. In the crunch, the evolution point dropped to 1.1, and the cell also had a slightly swinging ciliary tail, a bit like a tadpole.
[Natural selection. As children of nature, we are strong on our enemies, but we are also strong on ourselves. You can choose to get one component per evolution. γ
"Eyes."
You've made your choice, Vision. γ
[Each time you evolve, players can spend evolution points to strengthen parts.] Some parts have an upper limit. γ
A round black and white eye appeared in the sea of consciousness. Wang Yao manipulated it to be placed at the front end of the cell body. It looks a little nondescript, but there are always some microbes.
Fisheye: Evolutionary Selection Component. Can gain vision abilities. Capacity will be strengthened as it is further strengthened. γ
He set the shape of the cell to an elliptical streamlined line. Wang Yao intended to use the remaining evolution points to add another cilia. Speed is the foundation of everything. However, he was immediately told that the installation of a cilia would increase the speed only half of the previous one. At the same time, because the two cilia interfere with each other, there is a possibility that the movement speed may be reduced.
Not changing the body type does not cost evolution points, so Wang Yao still has 1.1 evolution points.
Bigger and more dangerous, smaller and deadlier. But it's too early to tell. The shadow in the upper right corner is still there, and increasing your size will only make you able to fill the gap between the other person's teeth.
Wang Yao gave up. When everything is ready. Finish setup was selected.
The system prompt also sounds at this time.
You have taken a firm step towards multicellular organisms, come on. A more glamorous and colorful world awaits you. The current stage is: Single-cell stage - eukaryotic.
You evolved into Bix. When you evolve into a creature that never appears in the game, you will have the naming rights for that creature. γ
[The second evolution requires 10 evolution points.] γ
The feeling of weightlessness struck again, and Wang Yao's consciousness, which was originally overlooking the sky, quickly fell and fell into the cells.
The surroundings were once again surrounded by dead darkness. But there are some differences. He can manipulate the cilia behind him and feel the flow of water. It's not pitch black either. The fish's eyes worked, and a faint silhouette came into view.
Although the scope is small, it can be done after all.
The surrounding cells were still devouring each other, oblivious to what had happened. Under the biological instinct, Wang Yao had the ** rush into it in his heart. If all of these cells are engulfed, he will reach the bottleneck of his second evolution.
However, when Wang Yao's black and white fish eyes turned to look at the dead silence at the back of the battle group, he swung his cilia and turned to swim backwards.
Just a few seconds after leaving, a violent gust of air rushed from behind him. Push Wang Yao's cells far away.
Wang Yao didn't know what was happening behind him, only that he was drifting down the river to another piece of water that he couldn't reach for months. When the airflow recovered, Wang Yao swung his cilia and began a new devouring journey in the new territory.
+0.1
+0.2
+0.1
Devouring targets are given different bonus points depending on their size. Mostly floats between 0.1 and 0.3. The marine species are abundant, and the organic matter is innumerable. Throwing away those organic matter that are hundreds of times larger than himself, but can be easily swallowed by a small fish, the remaining leftovers are enough for Wang Yao to eat a full meal.
Evolution points grow steadily. Every time the integer stage is reached. Wang Yao felt that he was a little bigger. When his evolution points increased to 8, he was more than three times his size.
Danger lurks here. Wang Yao devoured several single cells that were still in the prokaryotic stage, and was almost eaten by high-level cells several times his body size several times.
When encountering a large individual, Wang Yao will stay away. It doesn't matter if it's a piece of organic matter or a high-order cell. The former is not what it can touch now. The only result of rushing up to nibble on it is to be swallowed by a larger creature in one bite.
Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp.
He was extremely unfamiliar with everything here, but he was also extremely interested. If it weren't for the wrong timing, he might have studied the game well. Knock on the side to strike out the possibility of the second evolution of the body.
Swinging cilia collided with a mass of organic matter half the size of his own, first using consciousness and language to probe the surroundings, and then Wang Yao stretched out his body to wrap the organic matter into it little by little. There is no feeding inlet, so you can only eat in this way.
And at this moment, Wang Yao felt a huge creature approaching. Language also saw a huge shadow pressing down. Immediately he gave up half of the organic matter that had been devoured, and the wiggling cilia was about to leave.
But suddenly I realized that something was wrong.
In the field of vision, the outline of shadows is faintly revealed. It looks like a long-haired sea urchin.
Wang Yao slowed down, black and white fisheyes staring into the shadows.
As the shadows approached, the appearance was revealed.
This is a microorganism dozens of times larger than itself, almost the difference between a cockroach and a hair. The surface of the body is covered with cilia, and countless cilia propel the round torso float at an extremely slow speed.
Wang Yao knew in his heart that this strange creature must be a player on the other side. It is even possible that such a strange creature was created to obtain the right to name the creature.
The speed of the mass of flesh was extremely slow, and the cilia that stirred all over the body surface became entangled with each other from time to time, and the player sometimes mismanipulated and spun in circles.
It's an opportunity. The chances of a trap are slim to none.
Wang Yao immediately made a decision, swinging his tail and swimming towards the meat ball.
He has accumulated 8.3 evolution points, which is not far from the second evolution. As long as you can devour the meat ball, you can easily meet the evolutionary standard.
The difference in body size is too large, and I am afraid that it will become food in the moment when it is pasted. Just because you can't target the ontology doesn't mean you can't deal with anything else. Cilia are a good choice.
Wang Yao swam to the position where the flesh ball was close at hand, and manipulated the cell to slowly wrap around a violently swaying cilia.
The mass of flesh was moving slowly, and Wang Yao kept close to it at the same time, quickly absorbing one cilia after another. (To be continued......)
