Chapter 64: Searching for the 'Cave Snail'
After completing the observation task, Zhu Lang thought of the mission items this time.
After going through several activity trials, there is a question that has been haunting Zhu Lang's mind, that is, the purpose of the activity trial and the task items. The main purpose of the event trial is to cultivate the team, cultivate the team's sense of cooperation and tacit understanding in the activity, and also promote the team members to understand each other and enhance the comradeship. At the same time, it is also convenient for the 'Hidden Dragon' to assess the members of the team. However, he has to collect quest items for every event, and in his opinion, those things are nothing unusual, but there are a lot of points exchanged each time, what is the use of those things? …… What's so strange about the fact that the space is not on Earth, and those objects are similar to those on Earth?
He told Bei Bei his thoughts, but the smart dog disagreed, and said lightly: "All species in the universe have their own existence value, and human beings are just one of them, don't think that your own species is so noble and magical; To deny the value of any species is to question oneself. …… I can't realize its value because I don't understand it, science and technology and cultivation complement each other, and our visions are different, and our understandings are very different. Moreover, the environment in which the same species grows is different, and its physical properties and values are also different. For example, the 'cave snail' to be collected this time is a magical refining material, the witch chrysanthemum, also known as the 'sunflower', is not only one of the main materials of the 'antidote' and 'healing potion', but also an additive for the synthesis of energy blocks, and the hibiscus flower is also one of the main materials of the 'antidote' and 'healing potion'. Their pollen is the essence part, and the effect of the potion prepared from the materials in different spaces is different. The Hidden Dragon wants you to collect materials, on the one hand, for research, and on the other hand, to prepare various potions. Of course, you're paid every time, and there will be such a material collection task every time. ”
Zhu Lang understood when he heard it, what he thought was inconspicuous turned out to be of great use, but he didn't realize its role because of his low vision.
So, he beckoned everyone to come over: "Let's start collecting pollen." We split into two groups, Binbin and Kiki collecting chrysanthemum pollen, and Yeon-yeon and I collecting hibiscus pollen. ”
Ten minutes later, they had collected two quest items.
Zhu Lang arranged another task: "Let's discuss the use of the magnifying glass and precautions, and after answering, we will go to find the molting of the cave snail." Let's start by discussing how to use a magnifying glass. ”
Kiki: "The first thing to do is to keep the object parallel to the mirror. ”
Yeon-yeon: "Then adjust the distance between the magnifying glass and the object until the object being observed is clear." ”
Zhu Lang: "This is what I did when I observed snails and flowers just now, so that I could see the subtle structure of the flowers through a magnifying glass. With the naked eye, it is difficult to observe smaller objects in life; With a magnifying glass, you can see the details of the object and observe it in more detail. ”
"Using a magnifying glass to observe the details of an object, try to observe from multiple angles and in multiple ways around an object." Bin Bin added a point, and everyone nodded.
The following is a discussion of the considerations for using a magnifying glass. Let me start with one point: it is forbidden to look at the sun with a magnifying glass to avoid burning your eyes. ”
Kiki: "Don't put it in the bright light on your skin, it will burn your body." ”
Yeon-yeon: "Don't look at flammable products in bright light, it will cause a fire. ”
Binbin: "Don't collide with hard objects such as steel, generally the magnifying glass is glass, which is easy to break, so take care of the magnifying glass." ”
"Okay, Babe, projection activity mission."
The light curtain is unfolded and the problem is revealed: [Activity 3] Summarize the use of the magnifying glass and precautions.
"How to use a magnifying glass: first of all, keep the object parallel to the mirror; Then adjust the distance between the magnifying glass and the object until you know that the object you want to see is clear. ”
"Precautions for using a magnifying glass: do not point to your own skin and flammable materials in bright light; It is forbidden to look at the sun with a magnifying glass; Do not collide with hard objects such as steel to avoid breaking, and take care of the magnifying glass. ”
"Answer exactly right, and reward 200 team points."
Zhu Lang led his teammates to search for half an hour, but did not find a cave, not even a pit a few meters deep. But the information provided by Yeon-yeon is that the 'cave snail' lives in underground burrows hundreds of meters deep, that this species has no eyes at all, and that its shell has no pigment - two adaptive traits that are very common to cave species, and that these creatures have evolved to survive in complete darkness.
Zhu Lang pondered: "This kind of snail is really wonderful, colorless and transparent means that it can't be seen, and there is no light in the depths of the earth, not to mention, it doesn't shine...... If I don't have the mind, how can I find it? Now that the quest item is given, there must be a cave here that is a few hundred meters away. But first, you'll have to find the cave. ”
So, Zhu Lang asked if there was any lighting equipment in the rented items and whether there was any danger in the cave. Beibei prompts 4 strong flashlights, which can support 2~3 hours, each with 50 points; Since it is an activity trial, there is not much danger in the cave, but it is still necessary to avoid injury.
Zhu Lang said tentatively: "4 strong flashlights? One of them is one for each of them, and I will search with my mind, and keep one for spare. Made~ I knew this earlier, I will first exchange for combat uniforms and arm myself...... Is it possible to use a knife and a laser gun here? ”
"No, I can't. The equipment can only be used in the real space and the outer space, and the equipment is disabled in the assessment space and the activity space, otherwise, the mission will be directly judged to fail! ”
"Damn, so harsh? What about ordinary knives, sticks, lighters, flashlights and other daily tools? Do marking spaces and storage bags count as equipment? ”
"In the event space, mission reward items and exchange items are not allowed; In the assessment space, it is more strict, the marking space and storage bag can only be used as a tool to hold items, and all the items brought in in advance cannot be used, including those you say, not a needle, a match......"
Zhu Lang was anxious, and his mind roared: "Grass! This is to put me to death...... What about the orb~ Can you use it? ”
Bei Bei didn't care about Zhu Lang's anger, but still said unhurriedly: "The purpose of the trial is to train the team, and no matter how difficult the environment is, you have to complete the task. What effect can be achieved by relying on foreign objects so easily? Sao Nian, think about those weird and overwhelming insect tides in the outer space...... Stone beads? That one is not on the list, and I guess the 'Hidden Dragon' and the Beacon didn't expect it to appear...... It should work. But when will the stone beads be used? ”
"There's always some hope...... Eh~ 'Hidden Dragon' is a wise brain and has judgment; 'Beacon' 'didn't expect it to appear'? What does that mean? ”
"Beacons are an important part of 'Heavenly Craft', and they are a superb spiritual weapon. It automatically looks for the potential seeds of the 'Chosen One', and of course has the ability to judge. ”
"Spiritual weapons? Got a smart weapon? Can you automatically attack and defend your body? How can it be so magical? ”
"It's still possible to protect the automaton, but the 'automatic' attack doesn't work, it's just that it can recognize the owner, have a mental connection with the master, and be easy to control. When the orb is intact, it is no lower level than the beacon. It's too early to say that, but we'll talk about it later. ”
"Made, it's 'I'll talk about it later' again~ Shizhu has a lot of potential......"
Zhu Lang finally found a little comfort, let go of his depression, and prepared to continue looking for the cave.
The four of them decided to search separately and dig three feet into the ground to find it. Otherwise, no one can afford the consequences of mission failure.
Another half an hour passed, and the four of them met again, but still nothing.
Kiki: "Why not?" ”
Yeon-yeon: "Will it be covered up?" ”
Binbin: "Makes sense, since the quest item is given, there must be a cave snail; And cave snails can only be in caves. ”
Zhu Lang was inspired, raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes locked on a bush, and muttered, "Could it be in that bush?" ”
Bin Bin retorted: "I checked carefully, and there is not a single deep pit there. ”
"It's better to probe again, and if not, change the next suspicious location." Zhu Lang said goodbye and took the lead to go to the woods.
