Spore Story

Chapter 12 Evolution
Ah Q may be ridiculed and despised, but who knows how many people in the world are Ah Q without knowing it, and at least he lives happier than others, right?

So Kong Huan doesn't mind cosplaying Ah Q once in a while.

"By the way. 8051, it feels like the sensing range of the small cells I control is much larger than that of other small cells? Other small cells seem to only be able to sense the distance of about a cilium next to them. something like that."

[The perception of the main cell is composed of the perception of the biological body plus the perception of the diffuse mental power of the main consciousness.The reason why the main cell's perception range is larger than other similar ones is that the main cells have diffuse spiritual power perception, while ordinary small cells do not.System No. 8051 replied as usual. 】

"So is there a way to expand the range of perception? 8051."

【have.The methods provided by the current system are: 8051. Obtain better perception components.[-]. Enhance the spiritual carrying capacity of the organism.System No. [-] answer]

"I'm looking for the components myself."

"Enhance mental capacity? How to do it? 8051, does the system provide any prompts?"

[No, please explore by yourself, the system 8051 will play back this sentence. 】

"Then these two methods, nothing else? 8051."

[The current system only provides two method prompts, please explore other methods by yourself.System No. 8051 played back this sentence again. 】

"Cut, stingy guy."

[The system is trying its best to protect your fragile spirit and let you work hard to evolve on your own.System No. 8051 explained. 】

"well."

"Better perception components are just a matter of luck."

"..."

"Hey, asking so many is the same as not asking."

"By the way, didn't I just get a component by luck. Let's see what it is. Looking forward to it!"

Ending the "no effect" dialogue with 8051, Kong Huan focused on the stereoscopic image.

Small cell

Primitive single-celled organisms, species at the beginning of biological evolution.

Life: 7/7
Attack: 2
Speed: 3
Nutritional value: 78
Body DNA components: primitive cell mouth hook, cilia*3, spikes*2
It's been a long time since you've been a single-celled creature, and you feel like you're getting used to it.But in fact, you are still looking forward to communication, whether it is eyes, language, body or even more in-depth communication.However, these seem to be very distant things.Now you are just a little single cell struggling to evolve into multicellularity.

】

"Tch, what does that 'deeper communication' mean?"

"Forget it, we ignore you."

"Our lovely new component, your master is here. Haha"

Skillfully opening the component display box, Kong Huan focused on the new component floating quietly in the fifth grid.

【

eyespot
Photoreceptors, components that allow cells to have a certain ability to perceive light intensity
Cost: 10 (nutritional value) (equipment can be purchased)

】

"It's actually the eyes. I didn't expect the perception component just mentioned to exist now. Lucky."

"I can finally open my eyes and see the world. What a colorful world." (Obviously, the empty illusion ignores the difference between the original eye point and the full glasses, well, that's it.)
Calm down your excitement.Although there is no heart as an organ yet, but in the mental state, there is no need to worry about dying from excessive excitement, right?

Concentrating on the eye point, just as he was about to remove the emptiness on the eye point equipment, he suddenly paused.

"By the way, is the nutritional value enough? I still want to equip the electrodes I've always wanted to install. But don't."

Turn your attention to nutritional value.

"Yeah, I actually accumulated 78 points this time."

"Let me see, 50 points for installing electrodes. 10 points for glasses, no, we can't be a one-eyed dragon, so two, 20 points. A total of 70 points will be gone, plus 5 points for evolutionary splitting."

"Um, money, it really isn't enough no matter where, when, or in what amount. It's a good thing you left 3 points as a guarantee, but you have to find food quickly after you go out."

After finding that the nutritional value was basically satisfied, Huan Huan couldn't wait to install the two eye points symmetrically on both sides of the front of the small cell's body, near the root of the spike.

Then, with the complicated mood of achieving the goal, Kong Huan sighed that he could finally equip the electrode components that existed in the biological editing space from the first time; at the same time, he recalled the bitterness of this period of time.

"Basically invincible now, haha."

"Of course, in single-celled organisms."

"Well, among the known single-celled organisms."

The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he felt, and he ignored the thought, but his excitement calmed down a little.

Equip the electrode assembly to the lower end of the mouth groove, and look at the mighty small cells now.The two spikes exude a cold light at the front, and the three cilia behind provide the current high speed, and the electrode assembly equipped this time will deal a fatal blow to the enemy, and the eyespot also enables the small cells to have elementary vision.

Satisfied, he nodded his non-existent head.Kong Huan rested for a while, and flirted with, ah no, it was an exchange of "feelings" with 8051.

Feeling that he couldn't think of what to ask for a moment, Kong Huan chose to complete this edit.

Small cell

Primitive single-celled organisms, species at the beginning of biological evolution.

Speed: 3
Nutritional value: 8
Body DNA components: primitive cell mouth hook, cilia*3, spikes*2, electrodes, eye points*2
This evolution makes you a strong one among single-celled organisms, although you are still single-celled.Well, but it seems that you can bully other lesser number of single cells.However, in the face of other single cells that began to cluster in large numbers, and the multi-cell bosses that you still can't beat, your Yali still hasn't shrunk in the slightest.Keep trying, you think, the stricken you.

】

"Tch, it makes people so speechless every time."

"Let's continue to increase the number this time."

"See you next time, lovely 8051."

[Complete biological editing, consciousness enters small cells]

[Consume 5 nutritional points for evolution splitting]

[Warning, your nutritional value is lower than the safe value of 6, please supplement your nutrition as soon as possible]

"Why are the glasses colorless?"

"Hey, what's the color?"

"Not even light."

The re-evolved small cells shake what looks like the front end of the head, and the two barely visible eyespots at the base of the spikes seem to be shaking too.

"It can't be bad, it shouldn't be."

"What's bad?"

"Could it be that there is no light in this water area?"

"What is light?"

"It must be so."

Feeling very puzzled, and inexplicably depressed, the small cells vibrated the outer membrane of breathing a few times.After habitually giving instructions to the companions around them to accumulate nutritional value and evolve, they swam in a random direction with them who had no self-thinking at all.

It was still pitch black all around, without a trace of light.

Eyespots don't seem to work.

————————————The dividing line that continues to pass ———————————

Therefore, it is the perspective of other creatures.

This time it was a powerful multicellular creature, and I was still too lazy to pick a name, so let’s call it Cyclops, because apart from its small mouth and two flagella, the black visual organ at the front is the most peculiar.

So, today One Eye continued to swim carefree.

In other words, Cyclops originally lived in a place where light shines.But one day, the mischievous one-eyed swims in the wrong direction, plunges headlong into the high-speed water, and is washed into the present dark place, where the light-sensitive one-eyed can't find a single ray of light.Fortunately, there are too few creatures that can threaten the one-eyed, and although there are not many food such as organic matter floating in the space, a large number of single-celled creatures make the one-eyed very satisfied.

Although there is still a glimmer of hope for the light.

Ok? !

One-eyed, who was swimming, was suddenly startled.

There seemed to be a flash of light just now, but after swimming a small circle with the one eye on it, the situation just now seemed like a hallucination.Although the hallucinations were still a distant thing for the one-eyed little multicellular microbe, it still chose to ignore the fleeting light, although it was looking forward to it.

One-eyed, who didn't find it after shaking it around for a few times, continued to swim leisurely.

But it seems that the one-eyed wish for light today will be realized in a small way.One-eyed, who was about to continue his aimless and leisurely swimming, suddenly felt a ray of light flashing from the front left again.It was so faint, but it was extremely eye-catching in this space ruled by darkness for a long time, and it didn't stop. Just after the light disappeared from his eyes for a while, it flashed mischievously again.

One-eyed was excited.

Light, although it is only a moment, but in the eyes of the one eye, it is eternal.

The long-lost light attracts the one-eyed like an oasis in the desert.It struggled to shake the two flagella beside it, exerted 100% of its potential, and swam towards the light that was still constantly flashing.The distance seemed a little far, but under the sprint of Cyclops, it was still shortened step by step.

Coming!
One Eye felt that the flickering light in front seemed to increase a few times, which made it swim more powerfully.

Finally, Cyclops approached the light source ahead.

How many single cells are there near the light source?
Cyclops seemed to be a little puzzled, but the light was too attractive to it, ignoring this abnormal situation, Cyclops swam to those places where the lights were shining.

Why is it dark again?
Just when Cyclops was about to get close to those shining single cells, the front few single cells and the non-shiny single cells surrounding them suddenly became chaotic.They began to swim around like headless chickens, and the light had long since stopped flickering.

Cyclops was very unhappy, and seemed a little hungry.

So it pounced on the single cells beside it, and opened its mouth to swallow a few.

At this time, the chaotic single cells seemed to calm down for a while, and then began to divide into three parts and swim away in three directions.

One-eyed didn't care about this, and one-eyed, which lost its light again, turned around and swam to one of the nearest swarms, but these nasty guys seemed to move quickly, after swallowing a few single-celled creatures again.The single cell completely disappeared from Cyclops' side.

With yearning for the light, Cyclops started to swim aimlessly again.It doesn't have a brain yet, and it doesn't think about what happened just now, but the small cells it chased all the way are not as leisurely as it.

"Why did another multicellular organism escape?"

The small cell twisted its chubby body weakly, and after making sure that the other party hadn't caught up, it gathered up the scattered companions while recalling the situation just now.

In other words, as soon as the small main consciousness cell came out of the biological editor, it realized that the nutritional value on the eyes seemed to be in vain. Depressed, it took its companions to choose a direction to swim.Not long after swimming out, the group found several common aggressive single-cell clusters.The current single cells are multiplying in large numbers, and the number of single cells in the space is gradually increasing. Although it is not crowded, it is considered very lucky to meet a bunch of single cell clusters before the body consumes a little nutritional value. thing.

"The eyespots are useless, but the electrode assembly is always useful."

Thinking about it this way, now in the group, only the small cells with their own electrode components bring three companions to let the group catch up at the same speed, while the four small cells speed up to swim towards the front few aggressive single cells.

When he was about to approach the other party, the other party also discovered the danger through the abnormality of the water flow.Thus, a small fight began.

The result is no suspense. For a long time, small cells rely on a slightly larger perception range than other single cells, and they only attack enemies that can confirm victory, so the most important thing in battle is the process.

Continuing the already habitual strategy of pulling more and fighting less, the opponent has only one left that hasn't suffered much damage.Of course, this is not because the small cells have no kindness at all, but to test the electrode assembly under the condition of ensuring safety.

Trying to control the three companions while avoiding each other's sharp mouths, while confining each other in a small space, the small cell rushed up.

"Store energy, launch!"
