Chapter 17 Cloud Inheritance

  The reason why Zhao Meng can distinguish between male and female,

  It is also because the body of the female flipper is very large,

   Compared with females, these males are like lambs in front of elephants,

   Facing such a large size gap, Zhao Meng was a little puzzled,

   "How does this reproduce?"

   After being puzzled for a while, he thought of something,

  The reproductive process of most fish is different from that of humans, and there is no need for in-depth communication, but...

"here we go!"

   I saw a huge female fish come to a pit,

   began to swing his body,

   Then a large number of fish eggs fell on the pit dug by the male fish in advance,

  With the continuous discharge of fish eggs,

  The male fish beside the pit also joined up, shaking its body beside the pit, and then a white cloud covered the eggs of the female fish,

   "It turned out to be solved in this way!"

   Zhao Meng expressed that he had learned it, and then waited for it to follow suit.

   Soon he understood why those male fish did not show any agitated behavior when the female fish came.

  Because there are too many eggs of a female fish, the eggs laid by a female fish cannot be handled by a single male fish.

  The female fish keeps changing places to lay eggs,

   while the male fish is constantly busy,

  For a while, this seabed sandy land was shrouded in a layer of white clouds,

   Zhao Meng also started his own work here,

  Compared to the first three animals, the breeding process of this animal does not require contact between the male and female.

  Therefore, Zhao Meng didn't have much pressure in his heart.

  The only thing that made Zhao Meng feel uncomfortable was the spreading white cloud.

   "It's also thanks to the fact that human beings don't reproduce in this way, otherwise it would be very strange to think about the process!"

   Zhao Meng shook his head lightly.

   Females lay eggs, males fertilize,

  After completing this process, the female fish swaggered away

   That's right it was the female who left, not the male.

   In the following days, the male fish will take care of the eggs. After the eggs hatch, the male fish can leave.

  【In May of the second year, under your meticulous care, the fish eggs hatched smoothly, and you started to continue wandering! 】

   Zhao Meng, who has experienced the whole breeding process,

   Finally understand why this sunfish can survive,

  Because this fish lays too many eggs,

   As many as several male fish cannot handle the eggs laid by a female fish.

   "This is a sea of ​​fish tactics!"

   Zhao Meng completed his duties,

   Although he doesn't know whether the eggs in the cloudy environment were mixed with the genetic material of his fish,

  But Zhao Meng doesn’t care about these, he is more concerned about his physical condition now,

   "There are more and more barnacles on my body!"

   "Somewhat uncomfortable!"

  Because the swimming speed of sunfish is not fast,

   Therefore, it is easy to be targeted by parasites in the water, which is also a helpless thing.

   "Find a place to rub it!"

  【Eating in the third year, your body size increases, and you come to the breeding ground again to start sowing】

  【Eating and sowing in the fourth year】

  【Eating in the fifth year, you have come to the breeding ground! 】

  After five years of growth, Zhao Meng's body continued to grow, compared to the previous sheep's physique,

   Zhao Meng is almost as old as a calf now,

  But even with such a size, it is still very small compared to the female fish.

  After several years of growth, Zhao Meng also understood the source of this gap,

  A female fish needs to be of sufficient size in order to lay eggs of sufficient size.

   Male fish have smaller restrictions on body size, after all, a drop of water contains thousands of essences...

   Zhao Meng came to the breeding ground as usual, looking at these busy males, he sighed silently:

   "The body is getting worse and worse!"

  His condition is not very good,

   It’s not because he worked so hard that his body was hollowed out,

   But he ate too much,

  In the animal kingdom, the size of the body can determine everything.

  When Zhao Meng observed that the sunfish grew very fast, he kept eating like crazy to increase his size.

  He does grow faster than other males,

   also escaped the engulfment of other fish through its larger size,

   But eating too much food also caused another problem, that is, the parasites in his body continued to increase.

  He still has a way to rub off the barnacles outside his body,

   But the parasites in the body, he has nothing to do.

   "This sunfish is not very resistant to parasites!"

   "Maybe I ate too much and broke the balance between the host and the parasite!"

   "It seems that this simulation may be coming to an end!"

  Feeling the state of his body, Zhao Meng felt something in his heart,

   And at this time the female enters the breeding ground,

  Although Zhao Meng is already sick, he still insists on working while sick.

  The subsequent process of taking care of the fish eggs made Zhao Meng's health go from bad to worse.

  The decline in physical fitness is very dangerous in this world of survival of the fittest.

   Not long after, Zhao Meng's simulation ended passively.

   "Eat again!"

   Feeling the return of consciousness, Zhao Meng sighed slightly, but soon he cheered up again,

   "This simulation should have reached a certain time node, and the available entries should also be displayed!"

  After the simulation process of these animals,

  Zhao Meng also gradually figured out the entry display routine of this wonderful simulation system.

   The first is when the simulation fails after a while, in which case nothing is displayed.

  The second is to simulate direct success, and the entry will not be displayed, but the entry will be extracted directly.

  The third is to reach a certain time node, you can view the available entries,

   And the reason for this situation,

  Zhao Meng speculates that the designer of this system is likely to motivate users and prevent users from giving up halfway.

   "Adulthood and reproduction are important time points for the previous animals, and I think it will be the same this time!"

  As Zhao Meng expected,

   A hint text appeared in front of his eyes,

  【Simulation failed】

  Successful simulation can get the following entries

  【Cloud Inheritance (Golden)】

  【Infinite Energy (Purple)】

  【Fast Growth (Purple)】

  【Deep diving anti-stress (blue)】

  【Quick self-healing (blue)】

  【Pain Suppression (White)】

  【Parasite Lord (White)】

  【Rough skin and thick flesh (white)】

  【Shell Buster (Grey)】

  【Jellyfish Predator (Grey)】

  …

  【Hidden entry (not unlocked)】

   Look at these terms that appear in the prompt,

  Zhao Mengwei frowned slightly,

  In the prompt, only the name of the entry is displayed, and it has the function of displaying the entry. This can only be guessed by himself based on the behavior of the sunfish.

  The first thing he noticed was the golden entry,

   "Cloud Inheritance!"

   "This entry..."

  Zhao Meng thought of the clouds released during sunfish breeding.

   "But what's the use of it?"

   Immediately afterwards, he thought of the consequences of applying this entry to himself, and hurriedly stopped his divergent thinking.

   "Probably not what I thought!"

  He thought of the heaven-defying effects of male and female and pseudo-feminization,

  The role of cloud inheritance may be far beyond his imagination.
