"Oh no, it didn't work!"

While waking up to what was consuming his energy, Zhao Meng calmed down a little, ready to use this thing to complete the most important node task of the hard-tailed duck.

But just as he was about to complete the task, he accidentally ran away because of an oversightful target under his feet.

"Shhh Cold! ”

The task tool on his body was soaked in water, and the biting cold was passed along the tool to his body, allowing Zhao Meng to take a look.

Excited by the cold water, he immediately reacted to something and hurriedly chased the female hard-tailed duck.

Fortunately, the female hard-tailed duck had already accepted him, and Zhao Meng caught up again and began the process that should have begun.

"How do I use it?"

Zhao Meng looked at the structure of a spiral-shaped corkscrew that was longer than his body, and was a little distressed for a while.

"You can only follow your instincts!"

……

Jaguars are hovering on the banks of the river, and falcons are patrolling in the sky.

In this dangerous environment, the breeding process of hard-tailed ducks ends quickly.

After all, birds in this ecological chain are too easy to become food for other meat eaters, and they can only be solved quickly.

"It's finally over!"

Thinking back on the process just now, Zhao Meng felt like a thief.

Opening the safe with a probe, this strange experience is indescribable to him.

"Why does this creature have such a strange structure that needs to be unlocked?"

Zhao Meng was puzzled and a little puzzled, and the simulation continued.

[In the sixth month, your offspring is successfully born!] 】

Zhao Meng looked at the hatchlings in the nest and felt relieved,

Ducks and geese are rare creatures in nature that males also brood.

This phenomenon is very rare.

Even in some higher mammals, such as ligers and baboons, males are rarely directly involved in the development of their offspring.

"Speaking of which, I really haven't seen a male bird since I was born!"

"Perhaps, it was eaten by some kind of natural enemy!"

Zhao Meng muttered and swam into the deep water with his child to forage for food.

[In September, under your nurturing, your offspring successfully survived. 】

Looking at the young birds that grew up and flew away, Zhao Meng sighed.

He was once again a lone duck, and the female had died a month earlier trying to lure away predators.

Zhao Meng is very helpless in this regard, and with his wisdom, there are many ways to deal with predators.

It's a pity that ducks don't have the same language communication system as humans, and most of the time, they act according to instinct.

This instinct is something he can't stop as a hard-tailed duck.

"Everything is happening so fast!"

[In February of the year, the breeding season has arrived, and I am instinctively driven to look for something. 】

"It's time again!"

Truth be told, after completing a mission, he can get on his feet.

But this hard-tailed duck's life has only gone through a year, and hiding like this, Zhao Meng is really a little unbearable.

After all, there is a peculiar thing about the hardtail duck that he has not studied thoroughly, and that is the tool he uses to complete the task.

This tool is related to his entry acquisition, and he has to pay attention to it.

"It's a pity that this tool is seasonal......" he muttered silently as he felt his body plump again.

Zhao Meng, who already has a lot of experience simulating animals, has found that many animals have adopted a strategy when it comes to breeding intervals.

Maybe it's to reduce your own energy consumption, or to accumulate a lot of available resources.

Most of the animal's task tools can only be activated in a fixed season, and they are usually dormant, unlike humans, who can call and stimulate their task tools at any time.

The hard-tailed duck is in line with the situation, which is usually dormant and will only be activated in a fixed season.

Zhao Meng usually thought about experimenting, but the tool did not respond, so he also determined that this type of duck also belongs to this category of animals.

"This may be a sword sharpened in ten years, no, a sword sharpened in a year!"

Zhao Meng easily defeated the competitor and won the approval of a female hard-tailed duck, and in the following process, Zhao Meng made a new discovery.

"Huh! How has the unlocking method changed? ”

If the unlocking process is a gesture unlock that has been applied to the phone screen in the past,

So last time he unlocked in a figure 3, and this time he used a figure 7 gesture to unlock the screen.

"I didn't expect that there are such strange animals in this natural world!"

"It's the same hard-tailed duck, but the difference between the two ducks is so big!"

"Thanks to the lockpicking tool that's long enough!"

……

[In August of the first year, you have completed the cultivation of offspring. 】

"Another wave of offspring has been successfully bred!"

Looking at the descendants who flew away, Zhao Meng thought to himself, if this simulation system had a scoring system, then his rating might have grown.

At this moment, the sound of paddling came to his ears,

He turned his head to see the female shelduck-colored hardtail duck coming up to him, nodding at him with her long neck, as if inviting him to join him in foraging.

Seeing this, Zhao Meng did not refuse to go to other waters with the female duck.

[In February of the following year, the breeding season arrived, and instinct drove you to do something. 】

This time, Zhao Meng did not rush to the breeding ground, because the second female duck was lucky to survive until now.

With a wife, he doesn't need to compete, and it is more important for him to protect his partner now.

Fortunately, the hardtail duck will change his isolation after completing his task, so as long as it is time to lay eggs, he does not need to worry about what is on the top of his head.

In the evening, looking at the sunset on the horizon and looking at the female duck hiding in the tall grass, Zhao Meng muttered:

"There is still a little time before the end of the breeding season."

"I don't know if there are other structures for other female ducks!"

Listening to the noise in the tall grass in another place, Zhao Meng finally pressed the throbbing in his heart.

Although he has only experienced two partners, he can basically be sure of something, and he doesn't need to sneak out and test more structures.

And so, night fell......

……

[In June of the third year, you were attacked by predators, and although you escaped with difficulty, all your descendants have perished. 】

Looking at the messy haystack in the distance,

As well as the bloodstained feathers falling everywhere, Zhao Meng's mood did not fluctuate much.

Having simulated so many animals, he has long been accustomed to the cruelty of nature.

As a small and medium-sized bird, it is a miracle that it can live for a few years under the coveting of many predators.

"Being born as human is sometimes lucky!"

[In February of the fourth year, it's ...... again]

Without the fetters of the female hard-tailed duck, Zhao Meng was free this time.

With the body shape that he had grown for four years, Zhao Meng began to indulge himself.

"It's so varied!"

"So, what entries do you get from the hard-tailed duck?" Zhao Meng was very curious.

In September of the fifth year, your offspring came of age and departed from you. 】

"Another batch of offspring was sent away!"

"The next thing is to get up!"

Zhao Meng could feel that his body function had declined, the lifespan of this kind of duck should not be long, and then as long as he lived to die naturally, he would be considered to have completed the simulation.

[In February of the sixth year, the breeding season has arrived, and instinct drives you to do something]

Zhao Meng felt the task tool full of his body,

He was not impressed by this temptation, and continued to hide silently, even if the task tool was about to pop up automatically, he still endured it.

[February ,...... of the eighth year]

Zhao Meng chose to continue to be patient,

He could feel his body aging.

This simulation is coming to an end.

And the more this time, the more careful Zhao Meng became.

As an old and weak man, he is more likely to fall prey to predators.

[In February of the ninth year, the breeding season has arrived, but you can't continue to act because of aging, driven by instinct, you want to do something, but the last action squeezes out your last trace of energy, and you die of old age! 】

[Simulation successful!] 】

With the appearance of this text, Zhao Meng's consciousness became in a trance.

He could see his body, found by a leopard, and then thrown aside in disgust.

Then, the view of the world was interrupted.

"The simulation was successful!"

Zhao Meng, who returned to his body, was in a trance again,

For a successful situation, Zhao Meng was not too excited,

After all, he has simulated a lot of birds.

As long as he is not like a creature like a starfish that needs multi-layer metamorphosis development and has a complete chance of survival, he can still succeed once with rich simulation experience.

"It's time to draw an entry!"

Zhao Meng came to the virtual space, looking at the huge phantom with a human head and a snake tail, and the colorful lottery holder floating in front of the phantom.

Zhao Meng began to draw without any hesitation, and as his mind touched the holder, a blue light flashed:

"Blue! What will it be? ”

Looking at the flying blue light, Zhao Meng recalled the simulation process of the hard-tailed duck.

Although the phantom cleared the hard-tailed duck's influence on his personality,

But there are some things that you can't easily forget, such as the use of tools by hard-tailed ducks.

"But the gold entry is generally related to breeding, and this blue color is more about some characteristics of hard-tailed ducks."

"It's coming!"

The blue light dissipated, and the content of the entry appeared in front of him.

【Esophageal swelling (blue)】

"Your esophagus can dilate and deepen to accommodate more food and speed up eating."

"This is it!"

Looking at this entry, combined with the situation of the hard-tailed duck, he immediately understood the purpose of this entry.

As a waterfowl that lives on the surface of the water most of the time, it often swallows some small fish and shrimp.

"Similar to a cormorant in this respect, but far inferior to a cormorant in terms of swallowing ability."

"If it's a cormorant, the cormorant is at least purple in this trait?"

"It's a pity that such entries are not of much use to the situation I am currently facing?"

Zhao Meng really couldn't imagine that this entry would have any positive effect on his body.

Even if food can reach the stomach at once, it is useless if the digestion of the stomach is not strengthened.

"Speaking of strengthening the stomach...... There is an entry. ”

Zhao Meng thought of that strange entry, shook his head gently, and continued to extract the next entry.

I saw a flash of light, and Zhao Meng's consciousness was shocked:

"That's the withdrawal!"

The golden entry appeared so quickly, which surprised him,

Looking at the golden light that fell in front of him, he hurriedly checked the content of the entry

[Dynamic Unlock (Gold) Extended Type, Adaptive, Unique, Active Use]

"You'll have unique tools to deal with individuals who can't use them."

Looking at the explanation of the entry, Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment,

"The structure of the female hardtail duck is changeable, so the corresponding tools are also changeable."

"But what exactly does this entry do?"

"It doesn't seem to be explained."

Zhao Meng was a little puzzled, and he read the explanation of the entry again.

For some reason, he thought of another golden entry [Reproductive Isolation Challenger].

"There seems to be a similarity between the two?"

"This kind of entry ......" Zhao Meng was silent for a moment:

"Only the actual test can understand its role in detail."

"That's it! Let's take out the last entry first, maybe it will be a more useful entry. ”

Zhao Meng's mind moved, and he touched the lottery holder that emitted colorful light,

With the appearance of a purple light, the content of the entry also appeared in front of him.

【Xiongxie Brood (purple) You are a good husband! 】

"As a male, it's easier for you to get a partner's favor and speed up the growth of your partner's offspring."

"Huh!"

"That's not a bad entry!"

Zhao Meng suddenly thought, the female evil outside who was still in a sealed state, if this entry was used on this evil?

"Wait!"

Zhao Meng read the explanation of the entry again,

Noticing that it was only easier to gain his partner's affection, he shook his head and pushed some thoughts down on his mind.

……

"It's time to pick an entry!"

Looking at the three entries floating in front of him.

[Esophageal Expansion] [Dynamic Unlock] and [Xiongxie Brood]

He didn't hesitate much:

"Esophageal distension is the first to rule out,

As for [Xiongxie Brood], under the premise of [loving-kindness], the role of this entry is only to gain the favor of the partner.

But the acquisition of this favor is only easier, not necessarily obtained, which is also the main reason why this entry is purple! ”

"In that case, the only option is [Dynamic Unlock]!"

With Zhao Meng's decision, the golden light was retained,

And the remaining two entries, one blue and one purple, returned to the phantom of the man's head and snake's tail,

At this time, the phantom dimmed a little, and Zhao Meng, who had a new entry, withdrew from the phantom space with a single thought.

When he returned to consciousness, Zhao Meng heard Natalie and Tina discussing the little evil he let go.

"We deliberately let it go, will it really fall for it?"

"After all, the process of his escape was too smooth, and he can understand the strangeness just by thinking about it."

Facing the discussion between the two, Zhao Meng shook his head gently, he has a god seed here, and the evil will definitely come.

As for when he will come, he will only have to wait, and he will now have to experiment with his new entry.

In general, the average length of a male South American hardtail duck is 22 cm, which can be more than half of its length.

Substituting the human body size, this is equivalent to dragging nearly a meter of **.

Moreover, 22 centimeters is not their limit.

The most unbellied South American hardtail duck** has been recorded, reaching 42.5 cm, which is longer than its own body length and has already broken the bird tintin length record.

And the reason for such a structure,

This is because female hard-tailed ducks are often "bullied" by male ducks.

To avoid uncontrolled **

The female hard-tailed duck has many twists and turns, and for this reason, the male hard-tailed duck also produces a corresponding key to unlock.
