To sum up, if Wang Xiaoming was not curious about his abnormality during this experiment, then the next plot should develop like this.
As time goes by day after day, Wang Xiaoming will gradually be transformed into a fierce ghost. At that time, he will no longer be a prey but a hunter.
People in the entire city will become his prey, starting with colleagues in the company, and then slowly extending to the company and home.
In the end, the entire city will fall into collapse due to the activities of the fierce ghosts. The social order will collapse and people will be in panic all day long. This is another result of this experiment.
After all, people in this world don't have any means to deal with a fierce ghost who kills wantonly, so it's not surprising that such an ending would happen.
In Wang Xiaoming's world, because he was killed by "himself" in advance, a disaster similar to the city massacre would not happen.
While Zhong Shanze was busy experimenting in the virtual world, time in the real world entered November, and the ten-day "Ice Age" in "The Epic of Life" also came to an end.
The "Cryogenian Age" will be the last era in which microorganisms become the mainstream. After that, the upper limit of body size will gradually be relaxed, and more and more organisms will appear with the naked eye.
As the "Ice Age" in the game comes to an end, "The Epic of Life" has also entered the last era of the "Proterozoic Era·Neoproterozoic Era".
There are different opinions about this era in the real world. The main reason is that our country independently created the "Sinian Period". Globally speaking, the name "Ediacaran Period" is more common.
As for not using both names in the game, the main reason why the latter is not used is that it is unfriendly to patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The reason is simple and you can tell just by looking at the names.
The previous eras experienced in "The Epic of Life" were all "Stretching Period" or "Cryogenic Period". Now you suddenly have an "Ediacaran Period", which obviously destroys the formation, okay?
Since the name "Ediacaran" destroys the formation, can we use the name "Chenian"? It just so happens that the two words do not destroy the terrain.
But this proposal was rejected by Hua Jingquan, because one of the more famous meanings of "Chinese" was that it was one of the ancient names for body poison in the Celestial Dynasty.
Because of its own characteristics, the "Ediacaran Period" is called "the age of God's trial and error" in academic circles. A comparison of the upper and lower meanings may cause some interested people to take the opportunity to stir up trouble.
Since "Ediacaran" destroys the formation, and the name "Chenian" is a bit sensitive, so the two original names cannot be used, then you can only choose a new one.
So after internal discussions at the Ghost Hunting Company, it was finally decided to name the last era of the "Neoproterozoic Era" and the end of the "Proterozoic Era" as the "Paradise Era".
As the name suggests, in this era, players do not have any pressure on food. It can be said that the era of paradise has come back not long after it passed.
The "Ediacaran Period" is indeed worthy of the title of "Paradise", because during this era in history, the earth ushered in the first biological explosion, the so-called "Ediacaran Biological Explosion."
The number of multicellular organisms that can be seen with the naked eye has soared in this era, and the biosphere is flourishing like never before.
Some players felt strange when they first saw this place, because the first biological explosion in their minds should be the "Cambrian Life Explosion" in the "Paleozoic Era".
In fact, there is nothing wrong with what these players think, because in terms of its relationship with the current biosphere, it was indeed born from the "Cambrian Explosion of Life."
As for the explosion of life in the "Ediacaran Period", as some biologists have commented on it, they have pointed out the reasons for the failure of this explosion of life - "The Ediacarans were a trial and error experiment by God." .
Although the earth ushered in a large number of biological explosions for the first time during the "Ediacaran Period", those organisms had little connection with the life on earth today.
Because almost all of these creatures became extinct between the Cambrian period, life on earth today basically comes from the Cambrian explosion of life.
In fact, players have already vaguely felt that in this era when the evolutionary tree is restricted, what kind of honor will the so-called paradise creatures look like.
The earliest multicellular organisms born had an epidermis so thin that there was only a pitiful layer of cells, which could exchange nutrients and respiration directly through the body surface.
When the era came to the Paradise Era, the idea of biological evolution still did not change much. It basically made itself big and thin, looking like a puddle of meatloaf.
The biggest advantage of this evolutionary approach is that the smallest number of cells can be used to form the largest area, thereby better allowing the species to complete predation and nutritional metabolism.
However, this evolutionary idea is indeed convenient, but a pile of meatloaf obviously does not have much athletic ability. After all, in this era, hard bones have not yet evolved, whether it is an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton.
Without hard bones as a support in the body, the creatures in Paradise look like ghosts, and their bodies may break if they move too fast.
So usually it can only lie on the shallow sea soil, grow a stem at most to fix itself, and then stand in the seawater layer to absorb plankton to obtain food.
When most players see the creatures in the park for the first time, what they want to complain about is "What the hell is this an animal? Are you telling me it's an animal? What's the difference between this meat pie and a plant?"
Seeing what these paradise creatures looked like, they understood why these original creatures were defeated by the new life forms of the Cambrian Period.
Obviously, the evolution path of the paradise creatures is a dead end, but this time the ghost hunt has not locked the evolution path, which means that players can still take this path if they are willing.
But except for a few idle players, who would really take this path? When you play the game "Epic of Life", you want to play the online version of big fish eating small fish, not to see what kind of filter feeder you are.
Therefore, for the vast majority of players, they are determined not to take the path of the paradise creatures and let themselves become a ball of meat for anyone to manipulate.
But if we don’t learn from these paradise creatures, what path should we take? For this point, you can look at the current division of human beings in the biological world.
In middle school, you will learn that the levels of biological classification are phylum, order, family, genus and species, but in fact this is only a basic division for middle school students.
The real classification of living things is much more complicated than this. In addition to the most basic phylum, order, family, genus and species, there are also various subcategories and so on.
