Xue Xunyu noticed that his movements were a bit strange, but because he had just played this game and there were not many original examples to compare with, Xue Xunyu couldn't tell what made him feel strange.
So Xue Xunyu temporarily suppressed his confusion, controlled the primitive biological group that had grown to two, and began to continue moving near the deep sea crater.
When the game reaches this point, the sense of novelty brought to the players by the unique beginning has almost been lost by this time, so if you don't want a large number of players to quit the game, you should provide other novel stimulations next.
At this time, other creatures that were not under his control appeared in the distance of Xue Xunyu's screen. At the same time, a commentary came from the system assistant:
"If you want to obtain 'nutritional value' in this world, you don't need to always focus on finding 'nutrients'. You can also obtain 'nutritional value' by hunting other creatures."
Hearing this, Xue Xunyu knew that the battle was coming. When players began to get tired of searching and collecting, they needed to use battle to make the game more attractive.
But when he thought of this, Xue Xunyu looked at the two primitive creatures on the screen with some embarrassment. How should beings of this level fight?
Although Xue Xunyu doesn't know much about ancient biology, he understands that the game's various mechanisms, such as the current configuration of primitive creatures, are not suitable for combat at all.
Sure enough, what the system assistant said next was almost exactly what Xue Xunyu was worried about just now: "Although in the original history, it is difficult to conclude that hunting existed in this era."
"Because organisms in the cellular form want to fight, they must either directly rely on size advantage to engulf them, or rely on aggressive organelles. However, these conditions are not available in today's era."
"But for the sake of gameplay, we have specially prepared a very unique fighting method for you in this era. Now the front is used to practice your fighting skills."
When the system assistant was here, Xue Xunyu did not stop and listen, but kept approaching the new primitive creature in front of him.
Sure enough, the system assistant's words confirmed Xue Xunyu's idea that he was going to fight the primitive creature in front of him, but what he was still curious about was how to fight in this era?
As Xue Xunyu approached the target, the system assistant continued: "The primitive organisms of this era are so fragile. Even the pressure of different seawater layers will cause damage or even death to the primitive organisms."
"Therefore, this fragility of primitive organisms determines the way of fighting in this era, which is to push the target into different seawater layers and let him be destroyed by natural pressure."
Is this true of Farding? Just the pressure of different seawater layers can destroy primitive organisms? After all, as far as primitive organisms are concerned, even if they are in different seawater layers, the pressure will not change much, right?
Xue Xunyu decided not to delve too much into this. Anyway, if the situation is really pushed to the limit in the end, the Ghost Hunting Company will probably say that this is an adaptation for the sake of gameplay, resulting in a deviation from the historical nature.
So Xue Xunyu started to enter the game on his own, and in the first battle in "The Epic of Life", he controlled two primitive creatures to fight against one enemy.
Probably because it was a tutorial level, this battle seemed quite easy. After all, Xue Xunyu had the advantage here in 2 vs. 1.
When one of his primitive creatures and the target approached each other, the two sides were evenly matched. However, as Xue Xunyu's second primitive creature came closer, the battle situation quickly turned around.
The target was pushed out of the original seawater layer by Xue Xunyu little by little. Although the opponent's resistance seemed to become stronger the further he pushed out of the seawater layer, but in the end he lost in a 2-on-1 situation.
Soon the target creature collapsed and exploded under the abnormal pressure, exploding the "nutrients". After Xue Xunyu devoured it, he was able to split into another primitive creature, bringing the number he controlled to three.
Another period of searching followed. When he controlled the number of primitive creatures to 4, the abnormal feeling that Xue Xunyu had during his previous movement was now clearly revealed.
But Xue Xunyu still couldn't tell where this strange feeling came from. Instead, it was the words of the audience in the live broadcast room that provided him with inspiration:
"Do you have a feeling that the more Xunyu's cells divide, the more erratic it becomes when moving? Is it because Erguotou was fucked?"
Although according to the official terminology in "The Epic of Life", the primitive organisms of this era are not cells, the audience does not care so much and continues to call them cells in colloquial speech.
Now Xue Xunyu understood what had been causing him to feel strange. It turned out to be something strange in his movements when moving.
Previously, when only one primitive creature was controlled, the game was like a big fish eating a small fish. Wherever your virtual handle pointed, the primitive creature would float accordingly.
However, as the number of primitive creatures controlled by Xue Xunyu increased, the accuracy of his manipulation of the primitive creatures was decreasing. The opponent seemed to be drunk and moved irregularly in the direction pointed by the handle.
"Just now, my grandpa asked me if I poured Erguotou into the cells. This kind of magic is not something I can do. After testing, I can conclude that the reason for this is because the operation center has changed."
What does the operation center mean? Originally, when only one primitive creature was operated, the operation center was located on the primitive creature itself, so the player's operation was very smooth.
But when the number of primitive creatures increases, the player's center of operation will shift. According to Xue Xunyu's opinion, it will become an intermediate position between primitive creatures.
This leads to the fact that when Xue Xunyu orders to move in a certain direction, what actually moves forward is not the two original creatures themselves, but an illusory existence that the player cannot see.
There will be an invisible thread at that middle point, pulling the primitive creatures around the point and moving forward while making some kind of regular movement.
That's why since the original creature split, Xue Xunyu has always felt that the operation feels very fast, just like drinking Erguotou.
In fact, the current situation is not too bad, because Xue Xunyu currently only controls 4 primitive creatures, but it can be expected that as the number continues to increase, the situation will become more complicated.
And why is this happening? Xue Xunyu, who has played games for a long time, can see at a glance the purpose of setting up ghost hunting, which is to provide an opportunity for the weak to defeat the strong.
