Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures

Chapter 132: The Mind of the Platypus

  Chapter 132 Platypus' thinking

  Looking at Tina's closed door, Zhao Meng silently shook his head.

  He returned to the house, put the basket aside, and then he saw something and scolded:

"go out!"

   Before Zhao Meng could react, the thumb-sized clone of the foreign demon had already got into the basket in the blink of an eye.

   Seeing this little thing writhing inside, Zhao Meng hurriedly lifted it out.

   "Little thing, what are you going to do here?"

   "Hair, I'm missing some hair."

   "There's no hair here!"

   "But I clearly saw it."

   "Okay, don't go in again."

   "I see, husband."

  Under Zhao Meng's obstruction, the little robot finally obediently listened to his advice, and did not do any strange things anymore.

   And Zhao Meng put the basket aside, thinking about what will happen tomorrow.

   Shaving is not important to him. He has his own practice path, so he doesn't need to follow the conventions in the academy.

   The only thing that embarrassed Zhao Meng was the baptism of the magic net pool.

   "How to solve this matter?"

  Zhao Meng sat cross-legged on the bed, and his consciousness came to the phantom space.

  Looking at those golden entries, he understood that the best solution was to become a woman.

   "It can be a showdown..."

  Zhao Meng recalled the situation when he used the showdown twice, and there was an obvious abnormality in the use of the showdown.

   After the duel is launched, the target will fall into an uncontrollable madness.

  Whether it is the miscellaneous-haired fox or the miniature clone of the Sanjiwaimo, this has been clearly demonstrated.

   "So in Witch Academy, this entry cannot be used on humans, only on animals!"

   "Then is there any other solution?"

  To be honest, Zhao Meng has always been worried about this entry. He always feels that the consequences of this entry may be more serious than Yun Genetics.

  “What about [Gender Disguise From DNA]? This doesn’t work either, can’t solve the fundamental problem?”

   "Why don't you wrap it in Jiayao,"

   "It doesn't seem to work either."

   "Still a bit obvious!"

   Just when Zhao Meng was hesitating, his eyes swept over the entry for the platypus.

  He once extracted an entry called [egg-fetal duality] from the platypus.

   This entry effectively solves the problem of the female ghost's dystocia.

   Looking at this entry, Zhao Meng recalled the situation of the platypus entry.

  At the beginning, a total of three entries were drawn.

  It’s useless [Fat Oil (Blue)].

   and [Gender Fluid (Purple)] with huge disadvantages.

  After horizontal comparison, he had no choice but to choose 【Dual Image of Egg and Fetus】

   Now seeing this entry, Zhao Meng suddenly thought of a question,

  Genetically, the platypus has 25 genders, but in terms of actual sexual expression, the platypus can only express two genders.

  Gender is very obvious in the platypus, and there is no confusion.

   "That is, in a way, the platypus constrains possible gender fluidity."

  Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's eyes lit up.

   "If the uncontrollable [gender fluid] becomes controllable, is it possible to achieve male and female conversion?"

  Zhao Meng looked at the already solid phantom, and he was ready for the next simulation at any time.

   "Will there be such an entry in the second round of platypus?"

  Thinking of this, Zhao Meng was a little moved,

   A duel is likely to drive the subject insane, and as a student of the Witch Academy, he is still in the probationary period and is the subject of key monitoring.

  If there is any abnormality, it will definitely attract attention, and the risk of exposing entries is unacceptable to Zhao Meng.

   "Try the second week of the platypus."

   "If it fails, it's not too late to use it again."

  Considering this, Zhao Meng no longer hesitated, and his thoughts touched the white light ball representing the platypus.

next moment,

  The scene around him was in a trance, and when he realized it again, he had already appeared in the water.

   "I don't know, what will the platypus do in the second week?"

  Zhao Meng raised his head to observe the surrounding environment, but the heavy object on his mouth prevented his head from raising much.

  Looking at the huge black duckbill in front of him.

  Zhao Meng understood that he was no longer a human, but a platypus.

   Zhao Meng swam a few times in the water,

   I have experienced a week of simulation, and with the assistance of the simulation system, the familiar feeling quickly returned.

  However, just as he was familiar with the platypus, a black shadow emerged from the bottom of the water.

   A big mouth broke through the water and bit Zhao Meng firmly.

   During a whirlwind, he lost consciousness:

  【Simulation failed】

"what's the situation!"

   Zhao Meng, who was kicked out of the simulation, was in a daze.

  He immediately realized something, he ignored the ecological status of the platypus in the natural environment.

  Although the platypus has a strange shape, its position in the ecological chain is not high.

  Because of its small size, it has to come out at night, hide by the water, and prey on food such as small fish, shrimps and insects.

  And with the invasion of foreign creatures, some juvenile platypus can easily become food for cats and dogs.

  In this case, even on such an isolated and primitive ecological continent, the living environment of the platypus is getting worse

   Without the intervention of human factors, with the increase of foreign invasions, this creature may become extinct.

   After all, Zhao Meng hasn’t simulated for a long time. After he calmed down, he remembered that the simulation system will give a text prompt after entering the simulation.

  Thinking of this, he hurriedly flipped through the system's reminder records.

  【You grew up in the area of ​​human activities, and you will reproduce under the influence of humans. 】

"Um!?"

   Seeing such a prompt, Zhao Meng was taken aback for a moment.

  Same as the previous two animal biweekly simulations, this biweekly simulation is also based on the theme of fertility.

  But different from before, this time there is interference from human factors. As a human being, Zhao Meng thinks that he still understands human beings.

   "With human intervention, wouldn't the simulation success rate be higher?"

   "Then isn't the difficulty lowered for the second week?"

  Zhao Meng was puzzled for a moment, without much hesitation, he entered the simulation system again, and the prompt text appeared again.

  Zhao Meng also hurriedly left the dangerous deep water area and headed for the shore.

   At this time, a glow appeared in the east,

  After being used to seeing the purple morning light in this world, and seeing this familiar glow from the previous life again, Zhao Meng felt a little nostalgic in his heart.

   "Wait, what's that?"

  In Zhao Meng's field of vision, he saw striped clouds appearing on the glow. Compared with the clouds in the sky, this cloud was moving slowly at a certain speed.

   "Is this definitely not a naturally occurring cloud?"

   Zhao Meng climbed a little higher,

  I saw the bright red sun slowly rising from the gaps of several tall chimneys.

"factory!"

   "How can there be factories in the habitat of platypus."

   Zhao Meng remembers that the platypus is one of the national treasures of the mining country, and it is heavily protected by the ecology.

   "Wait, that place entered the developed country through the mining industry, and their population is very sparse, gathered in a small part of the east,

  That is to say, most areas are sparsely populated, and environmental protection organizations cannot go deep..."

  Recalling some geographical knowledge, Zhao Meng looked at the smoking factory and finally understood why the system gave such a prompt.

   "Sure enough, the biggest threat to the destruction of nature is human beings?"

  As a creature, Zhao Meng thought that he was irresistible in front of the powerful destructive power of human beings, and he wanted to change to another place.

   But just like the previous two episodes, the simulation was limited to one area, and he couldn't escape.

   "That's all! Go find the female first"

  In such a high-risk area, the first thing Zhao Meng thought of was to complete the simulation task.

  However, he found that the females were almost extinct in the systematically delimited area.

   This made Zhao Meng a little uncomfortable. It is hard for a strong man to be without a wife. Without females, where should he go to breed.

  …

   "Why is the simulation for the second week so strange?"

   Zhao Meng has entered the simulation for six days,

  He thought at first that he was going to breed against environmental pollution.

   But after these few days of life, Zhao Meng found that the pollutants in the river were not as serious as imagined.

  The ecology in the river is fairly healthy, and there are not many large creatures that can eat him.

  The only problem is the cats and dogs that often appear on the shore, but as a platypus that can move in water, the threat of cats and dogs is not too great for him.

   "If the second week of the platypus is only this difficult, then I will pass it soon."

   Zhao Meng’s duckbill kept probing around in the water, and he had already found the smell of a female:

   "It's close!" At this moment, Zhao Meng became excited.

  Other things are not afraid of Zhao Meng, as long as there are females, he can overcome all difficulties and dangers to complete the task.

  I'm afraid there are no females here...

  Zhao Meng saw a female platypus hunting on the bank ahead.

   At this moment, a violent explosion came over, startling the female platypus.

   "Alas! Don't run!"

  Looking at the female platypus that disappeared into the water, Zhao Meng was very helpless, and he looked back at the source of the explosion.

  I saw a flame rising into the sky from where the factory was located.

   "It really won't be that simple."

  Looking at the burning factory, Zhao Meng hurriedly hid in the water.

  The fire grew stronger and ignited the surrounding forest.

   "This is too bad. There is already a drought trend here. Coupled with the forest fire, it may be difficult to survive."

  Zhao Meng hid in the water, the fire has been burning, but fortunately the fire is going in another direction.

  Three days later,

  As the fire went away, the environment of the river where Zhao Meng was located was rapidly deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

   Zhao Meng felt that he had to leave the river.

  However, not long after Zhao Meng landed, he was captured by a predator that escaped from the forest.

  【Simulation failed】

   "Again!"

   Zhao Meng entered the simulation system once, and the factory was still standing there, emitting thick smoke.

  Although the factory did not pollute him, Zhao Meng knew that in a few days, the factory would explode and cause a wildfire. He had to complete his task in just a few days.

   "Go to the female."

   This time Zhao Meng didn't wander around, and directly found the area where the female was last time.

"found it!"

   Zhao Meng found the so-called female by smelling it.

  However, when he approached the female platypus, he was surprised by the state of the female platypus:

   "This platypus exuding this female smell, how can it be a male?"

  He didn't understand, and after a fight with this platypus disguised as a female, he drove it away.

  Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment, then looked at the factory again.

   "Could it be that something from the factory affected the **** of the platypus!"

   "What kind of factory is that?"

  With doubts, Zhao Meng wanted to go to the vicinity of the factory to observe.

   Unfortunately, this factory is outside the scope of the simulation, and he cannot approach it.

  The flames were still rising from the factory, and Zhao Meng's simulation failed again without exception.

  …

   "Once and again and again..."

   "Why are these platypus sexes so weird?"

   Zhao Meng didn't know how many times he had failed the simulation, he tried to find a female platypus in this area.

  However, it is not known what substance was released by that factory, which opened some kind of shackles and made the **** of these platypus strange.

   "It doesn't matter, I have to try anyway."

   Repeated failures caused Zhao Meng's mood to fluctuate greatly.

   This time the simulation doesn’t care about male and female,

  As long as it smells good, he will try it, so Zhao Meng went after smelling it.

  …

  Multiple simulations allowed him to find out the location of every platypus in the territory, so it was not difficult to find it.

   "That's it!"

   Zhao Meng went up. Like Zhoumu, following a series of procedures, Zhao Meng entered the stage of courtship and reproduction.

   "It actually works."

   Zhao Meng didn't expect that it smelled like a female and looked like a male, but in fact it was still a female.

   Such a roller coaster of changes made him a little uncomfortable.

   "It should be a success this time!"

  …

  Zhao Meng looked at the female platypus entering the cave, and at the factory in the other direction.

  He just wants to finish this simulation quickly,

  To be honest, the platypus’s second-week simulation is kind of weird and uncomfortable that he can’t describe.

  Factory explosion happened again.

  Having experience in several simulations, he also found out the experience of avoiding the fire. He hid in an underground cave area with the female platypus.

  The fire used to be pollution again,

  Zhao Meng and the female platypus came to a clean water area.

  Although such an area attracted a lot of wild animals, Zhao Meng survived because of his caution.

   Under his protection, the female platypus hatched her young.

   Looking at the newborn child, Zhao Meng was speechless for a long time.

   "Why does my child have a hole like this?"

  He still wants to continue to observe something.

  But at this moment, a text prompt [simulation successful] appeared in front of him,

   Following the prompt of the system, the scene in front of him became illusory.

   When he came back to his senses again, his consciousness had already returned to his body.

   And a colored lottery has already appeared in the phantom space, just waiting for him to draw the entry.
