Volume 2 Corpse Transformation Witch Chu Chapter 197 A Grain of Eggs Changes the World
[Evolutionary genes - can make you stronger.] 】
"Evolutionary gene" is an extremely awkward term, and when they first heard this thing, the soldiers and civilians of Yingdu basically couldn't figure out what it was.
Everyone is illiterate, and no one has to laugh at anyone, so there are many versions of such a novelty, and three of them are the most reliable.
Limited by their knowledge and vision, they only understand it as an herbal medicine that can heal people, or a tonic to strengthen the body.
For men, it is really important to become stronger, and to become stronger.
Some people also understand it as similar to chickens and ducks, because the "evolutionary gene" looks like an egg, duck egg, and much smaller than a goose egg.
After the exchange, it may be able to be raised, and it is likely that it is some kind of poultry seedling that is very suitable for growth.
After all, the people live on food, and the warriors live on meat.
There is also a group of self-proclaimed "quick-witted and resourceful" people who feel that the "evolution gene" is just a method for the Chu Palace to harvest points in the hands of the military and civilians.
The palace of Chu used the military and civilians as leeks, and used the "evolutionary gene" to consume the points in the hands of the military and civilians, and the expenditure of materials was less, and all those who exchanged the "evolutionary gene" were equivalent to paying an "IQ tax".
At first, when the first two views were the mainstream, the points in the hands of the people were not enough for them to redeem the expensive "luxury" of "evolutionary genes", but later, the third viewpoint became the mainstream, and "evolutionary genes" became a kind of "scythe for cutting leeks", and even fewer people were willing to spend a lot of money to exchange them.
This does not mean to disparage the ancients.
From a modern perspective, anyone who has a little biological foundation, or who has attended nine years of compulsory education, cannot fail to know what "evolutionary genes" mean.
But more than 2,000 years ago, the state of Chu was still in a slave society, and it may not even have a concept of what "evolution" is, so it was a last resort to use this way to cautiously test the palace of Chu.
Yes, temptation.
Those self-proclaimed "quick-witted and resourceful" mental workers are not satirizing them, but they are really smart.
Of course, it may also be the usual style of the aristocracy. Suppressing a new thing, making it unsalable, and then buying it at a low price, and then selling it at a high price, this strategy is not uncommon in ancient business wars, and the reverse is also very effective.
They changed the direction of public opinion, so that the "evolutionary gene" of the Chu Palace's treasury was accumulated in the treasury and could not be exchanged.
Long-term accumulation and unsalable will make the "evolutionary gene" gradually depreciate, after all, "what can be sold is valuable things, and what cannot be sold can only be treated as garbage".
In the face of the gradual depreciation of the "evolutionary gene", the Chu palace has only two ways to deal with it, either bow to those mental workers in Yingdu City and reduce the exchange points of the "evolutionary gene".
In this way, the "big smarts" can buy these "evolutionary genes" at a low price.
Or let your "evolution gene" rot in your hands, after all, it looks like the "evolution gene" of an egg, so the "shelf life" should be similar to an egg.
Unfortunately, their plan failed, and the palace of Chu put on a high posture that did not intend to devalue it even if it was rotten, which made people a little confused for a while.
In short, this kind of confrontation situation of "if you don't reduce the price, I won't buy" and "if you like to buy or not, I just won't reduce the price" has lasted for half a month.
It wasn't until a certain veteran made up his mind that he exchanged a "Evolution Gene" from the point exchange point for a pill of "Evolution Gene" and ate it with apprehension, and the entire Yingdu City was boiling!
In just one night, the veteran changed from gray temples in his fifties to his thirties, the old wounds and some rheumatic bone diseases left on his body were all gone, and some injuries caused by lumbar spine strain were also healed in bed.
The body that was supposed to be in a torn state, even half a foot in the coffin, was transformed dramatically overnight, replaced by an exaggerated body of muscle, like steel bar, with an unusually strong force that could easily lift a carriage with one arm, and black chitin armor that looked slightly bulky but could retract freely into the skin.
With such great power, he can kill a mutant wolf with a punch, stand like a rock under the siege of wolves, and resist the acid attacks of some strange flowers and plants.
It was only then that he understood, and everyone understood, what "evolution" meant.
"See? This is 'evolution'!"
"Change the weak bodies of humanity and bring you back to the power at the top of the food chain. ”
"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter, you just need to know that the 'evolutionary gene' symbolizes strength. ”
"And power symbolizes wealth, status, and women, in this world that has begun to let go of itself, as long as you have power, you can have everything!"
The voice of the King of Chu echoed strangely in the ears of every soldier and civilian in the Yingdu City.
But they didn't have the heart to care about anything weird or not, because their eyes were already overwhelmed by the terrifying power.
Countless hunters and soldiers who have the strength to exchange for "Evolution Genes" have poured into the exchange point!
It can make your body stronger, and even make yourself younger, and maybe even have the ability to prolong your life!
But any individual will be moved by such a "power".
And under such a heavy reward, a wave of extremely exaggerated hunting mutant beasts was set off.
If it was just to survive before, now it should be described as "recovery".
People seem to have found the meaning of living, and even more vibrant than before the cataclysm.
Because they have the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, that is, "evolutionary genes"!
Of course, it wasn't that no one wanted to raid the exchange point and snatch more "evolution genes" after gaining great power, but soon, these people who rushed into the exchange point were never seen again.
What's more, he had the audacity to rush into the palace of the king of Chu, but he didn't even touch the courtyard wall of the palace, so he directly set himself on fire.
In this regard, the ignorant Chu people guessed that the king of Chu might raise a "ghost insect", and the "ghost insect" was actually the pet of the great god Zhurong, and if he sacrificed to this "ghost insect", he could get the "ghost insect eggs" laid by the "ghost insect", that is, the "evolution gene".
Those who wanted to challenge the majesty of the King of Chu naturally became the sacrifices of the "ghost insects" and became the nutrients for the "ghost insect eggs".
................................................
"Luo Xiang! Hurry! this time we can't let Shi Yan and them grab that tooth-faced wild boar!" said a man with a somewhat deformed right hand and a different size of his left and right hands to his teammates.
"I know, Brother Lei!"
Next to "Brother Lei" was a man whose legs were so long that he was also a little deformed, and his legs and knees had been slightly bent, and he seemed to be unable to straighten up.
He is Luo Xiang, the fastest person in the team.
However, his physiological posture is more appropriate than running, but "jumping".
Luo Xiang jumped three or four meters away with a slight jump, and ran directly to the front of the other team in a few jumps.
Rules between "Hunters": When two hunter teams target a target mutated beast at the same time, as long as any one of the teams touches the target first, the other team cannot use the target again, unless the team that made the first move is all killed.
"Stupid!" Shi Yan, who was dressed in exaggerated muscles, pouted unhappily when he saw Luo Xiang running in front of them, stopped, stretched out his hand to stop his teammates who were advancing, and said, "Forget it, if you can't catch up with Luo Xiang, no one in our team can outrun Luo Xiang." ”
"Captain Wu?" the teammate looked at Shi Yan puzzled, "Do you just give up the tooth-faced boar to you?"
"How could it be. Heh!" Shi Yan snorted coldly, and immediately showed a look of disdain, "They are just playing tricks and running fast, that tooth-faced wild boar is different from other wild boars, but a monster with a body like a chariot, how can it be so easily defeated." ”
"Captain Wu, what should we do next?" Shi Yan's teammates all gathered around and asked.
"Then let's continue to follow, we don't do anything, just hang them from a distance. Shi Yan touched his chin and pinched his fist that was almost as big as his head, "Ding Lei's group of thin guys can't eat such a big tooth-faced wild boar by themselves, so they can only give up when the time comes." ”
"Wonderful! We'll be on the pitch then, and we'll be able to take over the tooth-faced boar without a hitch!" said the other team member, excited.
This kind of thing doesn't require much planning, and it can basically be said to be a natural thing.
They seem to have been able to see their team capture the head of the Fang-faced Boar, and then receive a large number of points, and then arrange a "ghost worm egg" for each member of their team.
Humans are the most adaptable creatures, and without one, it didn't take long for the cataclysm and "evolutionary genes" to appear, and they had already formed a unique survival pattern.
The team of hunters is generally not too large, basically stable at three to eight people, and it is easy to form a small group when there are many people, and it is easy to have problems when distributing points, which is not conducive to unity.
If there is a gap in the team, if the conflict suddenly breaks out while fighting monsters, it is very bad, and it doesn't take any "blood lesson" to guess.
Therefore, keeping the team stable at a fixed number all year round and not in a hurry to expand is actually responsible for the safety of the lives of everyone in the team.
Shi Yan's team is a standard five-person team, and among the five people, in addition to Shi Yan, there are two other people who have used the "Divine Favor" of the "Evolution Gene", which means "a person who is favored by the God of Zhurong Fire and has the power to surpass ordinary people".
It's a mouthful, isn't it? And it's earthy and weird to read.
But there is no way, this group of people who have no culture and suddenly gain extraordinary power just like to show their extraordinary.
According to the information obtained, the King of Chu is very interested in this tooth-faced wild boar, so it is very likely to give the highest point reward ever.
In other words, Shi Yan and the others are also very likely to exchange for two copies of the "Evolution Gene", so that the entire team will become a "god favorite".
Now that the "Evolution Gene" has not been launched for a long time, the team of all the "Divine Favors" can be called a luxurious configuration, and it is basically enough to puff up their chests and walk away in the Yingdu City of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.
Shi Yan and his teammates made a plan, and then began to follow Ding Lei's team from a distance, in an extremely delicate position-
That is, if you don't catch up, you won't lose it.
Ding Lei is not a fool, he naturally sensed Shi Yan's existence, and somewhat knew Shi Yan's thoughts that they wanted to see their team's jokes and then take over the target.
Although he was unhappy in his heart, he had no choice but to let them follow the team.
"Captain Wu?" a member of Ding Lei's team shouted with some hesitation.
It is forbidden for the hunters to fight each other, in the words of the king of Chu: "I give you strength, not for internal strife, but to conquer everything outside." ”
Once someone dares to disobey the will of the king of Chu, then this person will be isolated by the entire Yingdu City, and will be spurned and rejected wherever he goes, not only will the congregation betray his relatives, but he will not even be able to exchange the most basic materials, and at worst, he will directly pay the price of his life.
And if there is a fight between the hunter teams with the "divine favor", then the result is bound to be obvious, and the person who starts the attack first will definitely be severely punished by the Chu Palace.
But that's true, the hunters don't get along with each other perfectly, and there is no conflict at all.
As long as the strength is strong enough, the hands are ruthless enough, and the hands and feet are clean enough, then it is definitely enough to devour the "peers" without knowing it.
After all, in such a wild place as the outskirts of Yingdu, it is not too easy to cover up the traces of his murder.
Shi Yan had such strength to make his team disappear directly into the suburbs of Yingdu, but he was not too worried, because whether it was himself or Luo Xiang, who jumped like a grasshopper, he had mobility far beyond Shi Yan's team.
If he can't fight, he will run, as long as he dares to make a move, then Ding Lei will dare to report to the official, and with such a mobile ability to attack, retreat and defend, there is no need to worry about Shi Yan's team being blackhanded.
It's not a problem to be targeted, the real core of the problem is how to kill this tooth-faced wild boar smoothly without leaving Shi Yan a chance to make a move.
"Leave them alone, we just do our own thing. Ding Lei adjusted his breathing, held his somewhat deformed right arm, and said to his teammates, "Are things ready?"
His right arm is a little deformed, because he has not been using the Evolution gene for a long time and has not yet fully adapted, so the deformed right arm is always a little uncomfortable when running, and it needs to be adjusted from time to time.
"It's ready. Ding Lei's teammates took out a long tube-like thing, "I really don't know what the King of Chu thinks, such a big treasure dares to take it out as a reward, what if someone wants to attack the Chu Palace?" ”
"It is because of this thing that flows out that the King of Chu is even more unfathomable. Ding Lei glanced at his own speechlessly, feeling anxious for his almost imbecile IQ,
"You have to think about it, since you can even take out this kind of thing, then the king of Chu will inevitably have something stronger to protect him. ”
"Oh...... I see......" The teammate nodded in realization, "That's really amazing......"
The corner of Ding Lei's eyes jumped, and he kept rubbing his temples with his left hand, for fear that he would faint from anger: "Let's go quickly, Luo Xiang should be almost at his destination, we must support him in time." ”
