The "Extended Era" ended with the end of September. With the arrival of October 2106, "The Epic of Life" entered the "Narrow Era", which was also the last era of the "Proterozoic Era·Mesoproterozoic Era" .
The adjective "last" is not a good one, because it often implies a prelude to change, and this "narrow zone" is no exception.
In fact, many players have been playing for several months and have now been able to sense from the evolutionary capabilities and announced changes in the natural environment that the game may be about to undergo another reshuffle.
Because from the evolutionary options opened in the "Tenochondrial", we can see that the "era of single-cell organisms" is coming to an end and is paving the way for the "era of multi-cell organisms".
Due to the particularity of the game "Epic of Life", the creatures controlled by the player have been acting in groups that are neither scientific nor historical since their initial birth.
And now it can finally be historical to a certain extent, because it was almost at this era in the real world that the initial cell differentiation began to occur.
In the cell clusters controlled by players in the past, each cell itself had no difference except for differences caused by evolution. They were all different stages of the same cell.
At most, it is like those real-time strategy games, artificially stipulating which aspect a certain cell is responsible for, but this responsibility is only because the cell happens to be in that position at the time, not because it is suitable for that task.
But this situation has changed since the "Nanozone". Players can make arrangements according to their own wishes and allow a certain cell organism to undergo directed and specialized evolution.
Xue Xunyu's arrangement was the best, and it was circulated by countless players on the forum, and many players further optimized it based on his design.
So how did Xue Xunyu arrange the directional evolution of his species during the "Tenozoic Period"? Generally speaking, it looks like this:
The outermost cells are the prototype of epidermal cells. They will sacrifice their movement and offensive abilities and focus on strengthening their defense capabilities to defend the group against the most violent attacks from the outside world.
In "The Epic of Life", this kind of cell is called a "shield". If there is a "shield", there will naturally be a "sword" specially used for offense.
As the specialized cells of the "sword", both offensive power and movement speed are very high, and the defensive power is at least not so fragile that it will be exploded by the opponent's bite.
Since it has been so strengthened in these areas, the price is that the "sword"'s recovery power and reproduction speed are very slow. Only in this way can it have enough evolutionary points to make a trade-off.
In addition to "shields" and "swords", the third basic cell unit is "transporters", which are responsible for digesting food and transporting it to other units.
This type of cell enhancement mainly focuses on movement speed and digestion capacity. After food enters his belly, it will be quickly digested into nutritional value, eliminating the time required for other cells to digest it.
The three types of cells, "Shield", "Sword" and "Transporter", are the three most basic units in the cell cluster. Basically every player will have relevant standard equipment, but the proportions in the cluster are different. .
For example, the overlord needs to deter invading enemies, and its own living environment is relatively comfortable, so the number of "swords" will be more and the number of "transporters" will be less.
"Wanderers" need to attack and roam quickly, so they don't have many "shields", mainly "swords" and "transporters". The most prominent ones are surprise and hit-and-run.
Therefore, these three basic professions, also known as the "Three Musketeers of the Narrow Band" on the forum, are the three most basic professions for each player to specialize in cells.
Soon there were a series of related discussion posts on the forum. Different players used their own wisdom and experience to discuss how to allocate the proportion of the Three Musketeers in order to maximize the combat effectiveness of their own species.
Of course, the discussion on the forum can only serve as a reference. After all, different players have different biological abilities and their geographical conditions are also very different. They still need to make adjustments according to their own circumstances in order to maximize their combat effectiveness.
And if you want to continue to specialize new cell professions in addition to the three basic professions, it is not impossible, then you have to increase your base number of cells to have the possibility of specializing in other professions.
Among these specialized new professions, Xue Xunyu's specialization is more famous, that is, the "Pioneer" that mainly enhances the induction and mobility. The "Pioneer" is specially responsible for detecting blind spots in the field of vision to prevent players from being ambushed.
Another player's specialized unit is called "Assassin", which mainly enhances the ability to release neurotoxins. Although it can only attack once in a short period of time, it can cause serious damage to the enemy.
In short, although this series of specialized cells cannot be regarded as true multicellular organisms, it can undoubtedly be seen that the era of multicellular organisms is coming.
At this time, players of "Epic of Life" have already had experience. When "primitive organisms" evolved into "prokaryotic organisms" and then "eukaryotic organisms" were born, a large-scale reshuffle occurred in the entire game. .
Now as "multicellular organisms" are about to debut, another life competition is coming, which will determine which players will occupy the first echelon of organisms in the days to come.
The two major camps formed in the "Extended Era" were still continuing the old pattern in the "Narrow Band Era". The difference was that the Overlord found it more difficult to survive and it became increasingly difficult to cope with the challenges of the Alliance of the Righteous.
Because with the emergence of the mechanism of specialized cells, another major reshuffle of species has taken place, and many old species have gone extinct, and many players have even taken the initiative to promote this process.
The purpose is also very simple, that is, to directly reincarnate into the ethnic group divided by the overlord, so that the combat effectiveness will be rapidly improved.
Although there are not many such lucky people, and not all players can be reincarnated into the most advanced creatures, at least compared with the previous era, the strength gap between the Overlord and the Alliance of Justice is shrinking.
On the other hand, due to the emergence of "transporters", the consumption rate of grassland began to increase. The area of grassland that greatly expanded during the "Extensional Epoch" began to decline again in the "Narrow Belt Epoch".
The overlords were used to having endless vast pastures and no need to worry about food sources, but now they are suddenly back to two eras ago.
Therefore, it is normal that the competition for grassland between the overlords has suddenly become much more fierce than in the previous era. Conflicts within the alliance have continued one after another, and some overlords have even teamed up with the righteous to fight against other overlords.
So this time, the players who angrily criticized "What kind of paradise era is this?" have been transformed from the righteous ones into overlords. The good paradise has been sucked into this by you.
