Chapter 157 Dimensionality Reduction and Delivery

 City express delivery will arrive the next day.

Lu Yao opened the carton and found a small breathable plastic box inside.

 There are several small red insects in the box. They are small in size, have an arched back and are scoop-shaped, and have seven black spots on their elytra.

 This is Lu Yao’s final goal: the seven-star ladybug.

 In the past, the things he gifted to the temple through the simulator were either seeds and fruits, or various tools.

 But animals have never been.

 Now that the pixel world has basically returned to calm, further experiments can be carried out.

 Lu Yao thought about it for a long time.

As the first animal to be released into the pixel world, it is best to be smaller in size, simpler in structure, less aggressive, and less destructive to the environment.

 After a round of sifting, he settled on the seven-spotted ladybug.

This small insect mainly feeds on aphids, which are one of the most destructive pests. All kinds of crops are on the aphid diet.

In addition, the seven-spotted ladybug is smaller. It is not as ferocious as beetles and praying mantises, nor does it have the strong sociality and mobility of ants, so it is considered a more suitable target.

 But after all, it was the first time to release insects, so Lu Yao was still a little nervous.

 Garlic, wheat, and grapes were all normal before, but this time they are not good. It is theoretically possible to mutate into a super monster after entering.

 Before the formal gift, Lu Yao took a series of safeguard measures.

 In the temples of the three cities, there are powerful apostles standing ready: Salina is guarding Yao City, the Blood Knight is stationed in Yan City, and Philus is stationed in Sanilo.

Isabel is a mobile team member, ready to support various places at any time.

Once the ladybugs mutate into monsters and wreak havoc around them, they can immediately take control of the situation.

 …

Lu Yao picked out the smallest and slowest ladybug and carefully placed it on the mouse.

 After a while, a dim ladybug icon appeared in the [Gift] column of the temple, which was displayed as [Unknown Ladybug], and there was a small green progress bar below it.

 A paragraph of text appears in the simulator.

 【Unknown ladybug dimensionality reduction is in progress...】

 This is different from the direct appearance of plants and basic props.

 The progress bar is getting brighter little by little.

Lu Yao paid attention to the whole process.

 About a minute later, the progress bar finished reading, but there was no follow-up.

 Lu Yao waited for a while, moved the mouse, and found that he could click on the ladybug in [Gift] and drag it out of the temple.

 He selected the ladybug, landed on a small island in the south, and then double-clicked and released.

 A new prompt pops up on the screen.

　　【Unknown ladybug entered this world. 】

 The little ladybug came to life immediately.

It flapped its wings and crawled on the ground. The ladybug's body continued to swell until it became about the size of a dog, and then it stabilized.

 Under the pixel screen, it looks harmless to humans and animals.

Even so, Isabel followed closely behind it, wary of this special insect.

Lu Yao clicks the mouse on the ladybug.

 …

  【Unknown ladybug LV1】

 Health: 42/42

 Mana: 1/1

  Damage: 2

 Defense: 5

 Speed: 6

  【Sleep】

 Hibernation can reduce various consumption and extend life span.

 …

 A new kind of extraordinary creature was born.

 Lu Yao continued to follow up and observe.

The dormant ladybug circled around the island, then got into a bush. After a while, it flew out again and ran towards a forest.

　　It seems to have found edible bugs in these plants. It quickly ate its stomach and then lay down in the bushes with [dormant] displayed above its head.

 After experiments, Lu Yao came to a preliminary conclusion: gift animals are more complex than plants.

 When high-dimensional animals enter the low-dimensional pixel world, they will go through a process of dimensionality reduction by the power of rules.

 There will be some subtle changes after dimensionality reduction. Reflected in the result, it is from ordinary high-dimensional life to local extraordinary creature.

 Lu Yao went to the toilet and when he came back, he found an extra prompt on the game interface.

  【Unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world. 】

Um?

Lu Yao clicked on the prompt.

 The screen immediately jumped to a corner of the island.

There are two turkeys here, pecking at prey on the ground. Judging from the scattered remains, the prey was a dormant ladybug.

Lu Yao scratched his head.

This is the first time that integration has failed.

On the other hand, the small believers in the city are completely unaware of the targeted release of animals or even their death.

 Lu Yao began to release the second ladybug.

 【Unknown ladybug dimensionality reduction is in progress...】

 The progress bar ends.

 …

  【Unknown ladybug LV1】

 Health: 36/36

 Mana: 1/1

  Damage: 2

 Defense: 3

 Speed: 6

【anaesthetization】

 Spray irritating toxins, temporarily paralyzing the enemy.

 …

 The same type of insects, but different results.

 It seems that dimensionality reduction has a certain degree of randomness.

 Lu Yao continued to wait.

five minutes later.

  【Unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world. 】

 Different from before, this time the anesthetized ladybugs were very aggressive and immediately targeted the man-eating crabs resting on the beach. It did successfully capture one by relying on anesthesia and hunted it.

 But during the second operation, the anesthetized ladybug was beaten by a righteous group, leaving only fragments of elytra on the ground.

Lu Yao started his third attempt.

 Another ladybug was born, and soon it was killed by several islanders with spears because of its lethargy.

 Failed again.

 Lu Yao tried the 19th one in a row.

 The third type of ladybug was finally born.

 …

  【Unknown ladybug LV1】

 Health: 40/40

 Mana: 1/1

  Damage: 1

 Defense: 3

 Speed: 7

  【Musk】

 It secretes a special musk with a strong fragrance, making surrounding creatures happy.

 …

This time Lu Yao was on guard throughout the game.

  Different from the first two pathfinders, the musk ladybird itself is not aggressive, nor can it be said to be lazy. It is like an insect-like bird, flying around the island, and when it is tired, it will lie down on the tree to rest.

 Ladybugs attract man-eating crabs along the beaches and flaming turkeys further inland. Both animals stared at it with eager eyes, but they started fighting internally.

 In the end, the man-eating crabs won with numerical superiority.

The crabs did not attack the musk ladybugs, but stayed and rested where the ladybugs were.

 Gradually, the ladybugs were no longer afraid of them, and before long, new musk ladybugs were born. Lu Yao didn't know if it was a hybrid between ladybugs and other insects... In short, the musk ladybugs had miraculously established a foothold on this small island.

 A belated reminder is given in the simulator.

  【Unknown ladybug successfully integrated into the world. 】

 You named it ___.

success!

 The most popular ladybug has adapted to the new world after dimensionality reduction.

  Lu Yao named it the musk ladybird.

　　The remaining ladybugs were sent in one after another in one go, and only a few [Musk Ladybugs] were successfully integrated, and all other species failed to be integrated.

 He was so tired that he twisted his wrist.

 Just releasing a ladybug requires so much effort and effort.

In mythology, Nuwa molds people with clay, makes musical instruments, arranges marriages for men and women, and works hard to mend the sky. She is really dedicated...

 Hold on.

Lu Yao couldn't help but think: Could Nuwa be a higher-dimensional player?

At this moment, a new prompt suddenly appeared in the game interface.

Shang Ji wrote the first insect book "Ladybug Diary". 】

 Business?

This name, isn’t it the villain of the slave merchant leader?

 Lu Yao clicked on the name in the reminder bar.

The screen jumps to a small island not far away.

Shang Ji’s feet were tied with ropes and he was picking cotton on the ground when he was whipped with a whip by a young islander.

The former slave trader, now an old man, has a prayer box floating above his head.

“Lord God, a sinner like me does not dare to ask for your forgiveness. I only hope that you can bless and have mercy on me and send this book I wrote safely back so that everyone can see it...”

Thank you: Pan ppp supports 500 starting coins, and eight-star hotels support 100 starting coins.
