Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Through these three days of observation, No. 2 came to a conclusion.
That is, these humanoids are definitely not human, or even living creatures.
They never eat or drink water, and they appear or disappear at any time. They are not creatures that should exist in nature at all.
They are just a group of things similar to humans, walking around here wearing human skins and performing incredible rituals.
After Beta's reminder, No. 2 finally knew what a dangerous place this botanical garden was.
Every plant that looks good is actually the same mixture of plants and animals as itself. The only difference is that they have more plant components mixed with them, while they have more animal components mixed with them.
Every animal and plant is lurking, they are like spiders lurking in the dark, staying in their nests, waiting for the moment they are activated, and then pounce out to capture their prey.
The sudden appearance of snow is some kind of microorganism. They will slowly land on the host and then eat it.
Extra shadows are another type of animals and plants that have strong mimicry abilities and can disguise themselves as shadows and hunt prey.
Fake water will appear on the surface of the water, and fake wind will appear on the dead end road. This is completely a large hunting ground, a terrifying place where people can die at any time.
But compared with those terrifying animals and plants, the most terrifying ones are those humanoids.
Because they actually like it here!
According to Beta's analysis, although these humanoids have no vital signs, they have complete emotions. By inferring their behavior, Beta found that these humanoids have a good impression of this place.
It's like a chipmunk coming to a house full of falcons and jackals, and then looking at each other's fangs and saliva and saying that your teeth are pretty good-looking.
What's even more terrifying is that these humanoids are still provoking these animals and plants.
Although they couldn't trigger those animals and plants, or even make them unlurk, they seemed to enjoy it and kept trying to get these lurking creatures to attack them.
This behavior of not being afraid of death at all, and even treating death as a fun thing, convinced No. 2 that these guys were definitely not human beings.
They are just a group of monsters in human skin, or some kind of mechanical puppets that imitate humans, but are not very successful.
After three days of careful observation, the chipmunk felt it was time to take action.
The stock of nuts is almost gone and they must try to get food from a nut-like plant, but unfortunately the other party's diet includes squirrels.
As soon as they get close, the plant will break off its mimicry and attack them.
So, it has to try to work with beta and get the nuts together.
After making up his mind, No. 2 began to make plans.
It has to use its ingenuity, a brain that even kings praise, to work out a perfect plan to get the nuts it wants to eat!
"It's time to eat!" No. 1 shouted not far away.
No. 2, who was interrupted, leaned over unsatisfied, picked up a piece of nut and started to chew on it.
Today's nuts taste sweet and have an unprecedented fragrance, making them feel delicious.
It wasn't until after eating one that No. 2 became alert and asked No. 1, "What's going on? Where did you get these nuts?"
"Isn't it from you?" No. 1 asked confused.
"I took it," said the naive No. 3, raising his paw.
"Where did you come from?"
"I slept on the roadside, and those humanoids brought me some."
Number Two felt like he had a lot of dirty things to say.
Pulling No. 3's chest, it asked angrily: "What are you doing! Do you know how hard it is for me to hide from humanoids every day! Why did you get exposed today!"
"Not today, I was exposed when we first came here. Although I am still quite afraid of her, she is really gentle when feeding her food."
"Then what have I been monitoring these past few days?"
"I don't know, but I feel like you're enjoying spying."
"So happy!"
Panting and loosening his paw, No. 2 was completely speechless.
I thought I was a super agent, but I didn't expect that I was just an ultimate fool. I acted on my own for three days, but I didn't expect that they would have been exposed long ago.
Standing there, it looked at the sky and murmured to itself: "No more acting, I'm going to touch the snow now."
"No! No. 2! Who are we going to bully if you leave?"
"Go away! You can bully whoever you want to bully. There is no future for you two idiots!"
"Have you forgotten your mission?" No. 1 suddenly shouted.
This sentence made the angry No. 2 calm down and remember his purpose.
After calming down for a while, he said to No. 3: "Who were you exposed to?"
"A humanoid with gender marking female."
"Does she have a companion?"
"No, it's just her. And she doesn't move very fast, so I'm not worried about her catching me."
"Alone, without companions...how did you meet?"
"I walked out to the curb and she quickly came on her own."
After confirming the details with No. 3, No. 2 felt that he could take action after knowing that there was indeed only one person on the other side and his movements were relatively slow.
The other party is feeding nuts every day, which means that the other party should have a certain degree of goodwill towards the squirrel, so using this goodwill to contact the other party and understand the humanoids should be a good choice.
Anyway, No. 3 has been exposed, so it should be possible to join in on his own.
After thinking about it, it said to No. 3: "Okay, I forgive you this time, take me to see her."
"good."
"No. 1, don't come over here. Observe in the dark. If anything goes wrong, run away immediately and leave us alone!"
"Don't worry, I won't care about you."
"...You should hesitate for a while. No. 3, let's go."
The two squirrels, brown and black, began to run wildly. Using their hands and feet, they came to the roadside together.
There was no one on this path. Two big squirrels, 30 centimeters tall, waited here for a while, and finally saw a female humanoid staggering over.
The other person's steps were unsteady and slow, his face had a soft expression, and his facial features were delicate but lifeless.
When he saw two squirrels, the humanoid paused for a moment, but slowly came over and placed the nuts he had collected in front of the two squirrels.
Finding that the other party really only had one humanoid, No. 2 was relieved and said to No. 3: "How do we communicate with her? Use numbers or draw pictures?"
"Just speak directly, she will understand." No. 3 said while looking at the nuts brought by the female humanoid.
"Yes, I understand." The female humanoid nodded.
In order to allow players to communicate with Alpha, Fangcheng arranged for each character created by the player to have magical powers.
This magic can directly translate various languages, allowing them to face aliens without any hindrance.
After knowing this, No. 2 was even more speechless.
He looked at No. 3 and sighed, feeling that he really hadn't observed anything these past few days.
Not even as good as silly No. 3.
In the face of irrational existences like humanoids, is engaging in irrational behavior the right way to respond?
In this case, No. 2 also gnawed on the nuts in desperation, unaware that his actions had been broadcast live.
The player in front of it is named Ping Shui Xiang Feng, and he has his own account at station B, named Ping Ping’s mother.
This account started by explaining short stories in "Spreading Traditional Culture Starts with Me" and currently has a total of 230,000 fans.
The unexpected encounter is her daughter, who is also the main force in playing games.
Recently, a fan sent a copy of "Botanical Garden" and suggested that she can play it online every day to make up for the fact that her legs are disabled and she can't go out.
Also sent over was a set of VR glasses.
Through these glasses, she could feel the botanical garden better and fell in love with it immediately.
Everything here is lifelike, and the magnificent natural scenery makes her forget about her physical defects. Walking up and down every day has become her favorite thing.
Then she saw a black squirrel on the side of the road.
This squirrel is basking in the sun and sleeping soundly, looking very peaceful.
At first, she thought it was part of the game settings, so she ignored the large black squirrel and continued to visit other places.
It wasn't until she later saw one of the weird rules of the botanical garden that someone had summarized that she realized she had discovered an Easter egg.
That rule is: "There are no animals in the botanical garden. If an animal is found, please notify Alpha quickly and evacuate promptly."
Although she was a little annoyed, she missed it and missed it. She had not finished admiring the scenery of the botanical garden, so she should continue to enjoy the scenery.
As a result, in the afternoon, she saw the black squirrel again.
The other party actually slept until now!
And no one discovered it!
This time, she held a live broadcast, and the news that the Easter egg in "Botanical Garden" was discovered spread quickly, allowing her small UP to gain huge traffic and attention.
In her live broadcast room, the audience looked at this large squirrel and exclaimed.
[There are really Easter eggs! I thought there wasn’t one this time! 】
[Old thief Fangcheng, your easter egg was finally discovered by us! 】
[This is the devil squirrel, right? It’s so big and its fur is so beautiful. It must be very dignified to raise! 】
[Catch him and bully him! Let him live in a large and spacious house, give him enough nuts every day, let him exercise properly and give him enough toys, so that he will never return to the wild world! 】
【...Upstairs, your hobbies are twisted. 】
However, Chance Encounter did not listen to the opinions of the audience. Instead, he found nuts from a nearby tree and placed them next to the devil squirrel.
Attracted by the scent of nuts, the devil squirrel held up the nuts sleepily and began to chew on them. Then he realized belatedly that he seemed to have been discovered.
Fear, despair, annoyance... a variety of emotions surged into his heart, making him almost go completely crazy.
But luckily the humanoid didn't harm it and sat a short distance away until it left with the nuts.
After confirming that the humanoid had not attacked him, No. 3 spent one night coming to a conclusion after returning.
That's a good kind of guy!
Since he is a good human being, he can eat the food she gives him!
Since the food is edible, there is no problem in getting close to her next time!
The flawless logic, tight reasoning, and beautiful conclusions made No. 3 feel like a squirrel with a brain!
In this way, No. 3 was bribed by a meal of nuts.
Knowing the cause and effect, Chipmunk No. 2 sighed, and then gave No. 3 a hard kick.
I’ve seen people cheat on their teammates, but I’ve never seen people cheat on their teammates like this!
You are just lucky this time and met a kind humanoid, otherwise you would have been skinned and cramped!
While chewing on the pine cones, No. 2 could only give up on himself and throw away all his previous caution.
Looking at the unexpected encounter in front of him, it asked: "I have always wanted to ask, what are you doing every day? Why are you always seeking death?"
"seek death?"
"Yes. There are dangers everywhere here. You are just like the little white rabbits who don't know anything, but you run into the wolf pen and dance. It's a miracle that you can survive until now."
By chance, I didn’t understand what No. 2 meant, until someone in the live broadcast room suddenly realized: [Is this chipmunk talking about those of us who try to violate the rules? 】
【That should be it! This easter egg also has linkage! 】
[I knew those rules had deep meaning, so here they are! We meet by chance, go and show it the rules. 】
Seeing the request from the audience in the live broadcast room, Yunshui nodded and said, "Can I take you to the rules board to take a look?"
"It's a bit far." Number Three said, looking at the rule board in the distance.
"I can take you there."
Number 2 originally wanted to refuse, but Number 3 already nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
"good."
Stretching out his hand, he opened his arms by chance, grabbed two squirrels, and walked towards the rule board.
The audience who watched this scene were very excited and expressed that they also wanted to trigger the easter egg and pet the big squirrel.
When he walked to the rules board, Number 2 looked at the rules on the board for a while, exchanged opinions with Beta, and then said: "These rules should be used to prevent you from triggering the hunting mechanism of animals and plants."
“What are plants and animals?”
"A creature similar to us. All the plants you see are actually animals and plants."
This answer caused the live broadcast room to explode again.
I thought the squirrel was just a single Easter egg, but I didn’t expect that there were Easter eggs everywhere.
They say it’s dark under the lamp, but old thief Fangcheng, you’re hiding too deep!
When they think that the plants all over the mountains and plains are actually Easter eggs, each one of which can change from a plant to an animal like a squirrel, the players' desire for exploration is instantly aroused.
At the suggestion of the audience, he accidentally said: "Can you help us inspire an animal or plant? We want to see what it looks like."
"us?"
Looking at the unexpected encounter with confusion, No. 2 felt that what the other party said was strange.
It's obviously just an individual, but it uses a plural noun. This usage is really strange.
However, trying to activate plants and animals can be dangerous or safe.
Choose a less threatening animal or plant to activate, satisfy her curiosity, and maybe make her cooperate better with you.
After making the decision, No. 2 nodded and said, "Okay, let's find a more suitable animal or plant to activate."
"good."
After meeting by chance, I picked up two big squirrels and started looking for them in the botanical garden together.
Thank you to account 10086007 for the 500-point reward. Thank you.
