Lupine found a secluded place, held his nose, and "enjoyed" five more cans of canned herring.
Even though he had great perseverance in order to become stronger, Lu Ping was almost suffering from psychological distress by the end of the meal. He swore that after today, he would never touch this thing again in his life...
Fortunately, 100% of the herring genes have been collected!
Lupine targeted Herring because he had a plan in mind.
In his previous life, Lu Ping spent more than a thousand hours in the game "Protocore Evolution" and was able to create one of the top 100 apex predators in the entire server. He naturally had a set of ideas on how to create powerful creatures. He even produced a "Beginner's Guide Series" instructional video, which has been viewed over a million times.
What he wants to improve most at the moment is the defense of his transformed form!
The defense methods of creatures are very diverse, including fur, scales, exoskeletons... In the game, players can combine the defense methods of various creatures to create a complex that far exceeds any kind of creature in reality. defense plan.
What Lu Ping wants to create now is a defense plan that he named the "Three-piece Civilian Defense Golden Set" in his previous life. That is, the outer layer adopts a scale armor structure to resist puncture by sharp objects, and the middle layer uses a tougher skin membrane to protect against sharp objects. Resisting tearing, the innermost layer uses thick and elastic muscles to slow down impact and disperse force.
Such a three-layer composite defense plan!
The reason why it is called "civilian three-piece set" is because you only need to collect three genes that are very common in games, and you don't need krypton gold or any rare genes to create a good defense, which is extremely cost-effective. .
And as players collect more and better genes, they can replace similar items in the three-piece set at any time, further improving the defense... It can be said that the upper limit will not be low in the future.
Among the many top-level recombinant creatures created by Lupine in his previous life, there was one top-level creature he named "Iron Armored Demon Ape" that used this defense plan.
Previously, Lupine already had the innermost "muscle layer", which is the thick muscle in the shape of an ox or horse.
Now, he wants to build the outer scale layer, and the herring gene just allows him to grow a layer of fine fish scales on the body surface!
The scale structure, while still being flexible, has a good resistance to puncture by sharp objects, which is its biggest advantage. Historically, people from all over the world have unanimously invented scale armor, which is made of thin metal sheets stacked layer by layer and covered all over the body. On the battlefield, it can effectively improve the defense ability against swords and other sharp weapons.
Herring scales made of hydroxyapatite and some collagen, although not as hard as the hard scales of creatures like pangolins, can still greatly improve Lupine's defense capabilities.
In the future, as long as we find a leather that is tough enough to act as the middle layer, we can recreate the golden three-piece suit.

The process of creating scale armor uses a function of the creature editor of "Protocore Evolution" - "Expectation Setting".
Players are used to calling it "making a wish".
Because combining the genes of multiple organisms into one organism, we face a very real problem. If a certain trait can be controlled by the genes of organism A or the gene of organism B, which gene will be used in the end? is expressed, and which gene is not expressed?
Or, each expresses part of it?
If the player does not intervene, the system will automatically calculate a set of optimization plans. Just like when Lu Ping first traveled through time, the system automatically optimized and reorganized the three unharmonious genes in his body, making his body from bloated and stiff. The lying corpses were transformed into majestic and sturdy cattle and horses.
However, through "expectation setting", players can also try to make their own creatures evolve according to their own ideas!
Lupine now possesses 100% of herring genes. By setting expectations, he can make himself grow herring scales instead of other messy things, such as fish lips, fish bubbles, etc...
Players in previous generations have made good use of this function to create many incredible self-created creatures. It can be said that this is one of the biggest features of the game. Almost all top-level organisms are formed by a complex series of expectation settings, and a set of combinations of expectation settings with specific functions is also called a "plan."
Lu Ping's "Golden Three-piece Civilian Defense Set" is a defense plan that many people were happy to adopt in previous lives.

No. 38 Yuelai Street, the underground corridor of the "Haojian" dental clinic.
An old man in a white coat with gray temples and a gloomy face was frowning at an empty cubicle with his hands behind his back.
"Where is the experimental subject in this single room?" He said in a bad tone, "I don't remember that I performed an antemortem autopsy on it... Why is it missing?"
The few minions who were respectfully accompanying him looked at each other, a little shocked.
Really or not, there are hundreds of experimental subjects here, and more than 80 of them have died one after another. Do you still remember every one of them?
But in front of Dr. Ge, they didn't dare to talk nonsense. This was a figure that even the gang leader respected.
"Hurry up and inform the gang leader..." A young gangster winked at his companions.
Ten minutes later, the one-eyed gang leader with a mechanical arm hurried over.
After seeing the gloomy expression of the old man with white temples, the one-eyed gang leader sweated slightly on his forehead and quickly retreated from all his subordinates. He did not dare to hide anything anymore, but told everything in detail.
"Bastard!" After hearing this, Dr. Ge slapped the one-eyed gang leader in the face!
He was merciless and so powerful that the corners of the One-Eyed Gang Leader's mouth were bloodshot.
The one-eyed man with a height of 1.9 meters lowered his head, his eyes flashing fiercely, but in the end he forced it down and raised his head with a flattering smile.
"Dr. Ge... it was our fault that we neglected to take precautions, so that experimental subject escaped... But don't worry, it's just an experimental subject, isn't it? There aren't many differences between them, it's just that there are many poor people with no background. I will I’ll bring you twenty more!”
"What do you know?" Dr. Ge was so angry that he was trembling all over. He pointed at the video of Lu Ping's escape. "A successful transformed body is an extremely rare event! There are more than one hundred experimental subjects, and I have carefully cultivated three Yue, this is the only one I got, and I have to thank God for his blessing... Even if you capture another hundred people for me, I may not be able to train one more!"
"Look at these perfect muscle lines. Although the control of the body is rough, the nerves are obviously well developed. The staggering is just because it is not familiar yet... and it can even cheat! What does this mean? It means that its brain does not have Destroyed by genetic modification, it retains human thinking ability... This is the most perfect genetically enhanced body!"
"You actually let it run away... You have no idea what a stupid thing you did! Even if I kill your Blade Gang a hundred times, it won't be as bad as this loss!"
"Then what do you think we should do..." the one-eyed gang leader muttered.
"Fortunately, I took its blood sample before." The white-haired old man took a deep breath and stabilized his mood. "I applied for a mechanical hound from the above, and used the blood sample to set the olfactory parameters for it. This experiment will take place within ten days. Wherever the body passes, there should be residual aura..."
"Find a group of subordinates who are reliable enough to follow the mechanical hound and catch it!"
"Remember, this matter must be foolproof. I don't care what price you pay... Even if it's a hard grab on another gang's territory, you have to bring it back to me!"
"You can use a gun if necessary! As long as you still have breath when you catch him."
"If you can't complete this matter, just wait and bear the wrath of the above!"
