Looking at Tina's closed door, Zhao Meng silently shook his head.
He returned to the house, put the basket aside, and then he saw something and yelled:
"go out!"
Before Zhao Meng could react, the thumb-sized external demon clone had already gotten into the basket in the blink of an eye.
Seeing the little thing tumbling something inside, Zhao Meng quickly took it out.
"Little one, what do you want to do in here?"
"Hair, I'm still missing some hair."
"There's no hair here!"
"But I clearly saw it."
"Okay, don't go in anymore."
"I understand, husband."
Under Zhao Meng's obstruction, the little robot finally listened to his advice obediently and did not do anything strange again.
Zhao Meng put the basket aside and was thinking about tomorrow.
Shaving is not important to him. He has his own spiritual path, so he does not need to follow the conventions of the academy.
The only thing that made Zhao Meng feel embarrassed was the baptism in the Magic Network Pool.
"How to solve this matter?"
Zhao Meng sat cross-legged on the bed and suddenly came to the shadow space.
Looking at the golden entries, he understood that the best solution was to become a woman.
"It's a showdown between males and females..."
Zhao Meng recalled the two times he used Duel to Fight. There was an obvious anomaly in the use of Duel.
After the duel is initiated, the target will fall into uncontrollable madness.
Both the furry fox and the three-dimensional external demon miniature clone have clearly shown this point.
"So in Witch Academy, this entry cannot be used on humans, only on animals!"
"Is there any other solution?"
To be honest, Zhao Meng has never been very reassured about this entry. He always felt that the consequences of this entry might be more serious than Yun Genetics.
"What about [Gender Disguise from DNA]? This doesn't work either. It can't solve the fundamental problem?"
"Why don't you wrap it up with Jiayao?"
"It doesn't seem to work either."
"It's still a little obvious!"
Just when Zhao Meng hesitated, his eyes glanced at the entry for platypus.
He once extracted an entry from the platypus called [Egg-Fetal Duality].
This entry effectively solves the problem of difficult childbirth for female ghosts.
Looking at this entry, Zhao Meng recalled the situation of the platypus entry.
A total of three entries were extracted at the beginning.
Useless [Fart Fat Oil (Blue)].
and [Gender Fluid (Purple)] which has huge drawbacks.
After a horizontal comparison, he had no choice but to choose [Egg-Fetus Duality]
But now when he saw this entry, Zhao Meng suddenly thought of a question,
Genetically, the platypus has twenty-five genders, but in terms of actual sexual expression, the platypus can only express two genders.
Gender is very obvious in the platypus, and there is no confusion.
"That is, to some extent, the platypus constrains possible gender fluidity."
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng's eyes lit up.
“If the uncontrollable [gender fluid] becomes controllable, is it possible to achieve male-female transformation?”
Zhao Meng looked at the solid shadow. He could perform the next simulation at any time.
"Then does the platypus have this kind of entry in its second eye?"
Thinking of this, Zhao Meng was a little moved.
A duel between men and women can easily drive the person being dueled crazy, and as a student of the Witch Academy, he is still in the probation period and is the subject of key monitoring.
If something abnormal occurs, it will definitely attract attention, and the risk of exposing the entry is unacceptable to Zhao Meng.
"Try the platypus's eyes."
"If it fails, it's not too late to use a showdown."
Considering this, Zhao Meng no longer hesitated, and his mind touched the white ball of light representing the platypus.
next moment,
The scene around him became blurry, and when he reacted again, he had already appeared in the water.
"I don't know, what is the platypus's second eye going to do?"
Zhao Meng raised his head to observe the surrounding environment, but the heavy object on his mouth prevented him from raising his head to any higher angle.
Look at the huge black duck bill in front of you.
Zhao Meng understood that he was no longer a human body, but a platypus.
Zhao Meng swam in the water a few times.
I have had the experience of simulating a game, and with the help of the simulation system, the familiar feeling came back quickly.
However, just as he was getting familiar with the platypus, a dark shadow emerged from the bottom of the water.
I saw a big mouth breaking through the water and biting Zhao Meng's body.
In a moment of spinning, he lost consciousness:
[Simulation failed]
"what's the situation!"
Zhao Meng, who was kicked out of the simulation, was in a daze.
What he realized next was that he had overlooked the ecological status of the platypus in the natural environment.
Although the platypus has a peculiar shape, its status in the ecological chain is not high.
Because of its small size, it has to stay out at night, hiding near the water, and hunting for food such as small fish, shrimps, and insects.
Moreover, with the invasion of foreign organisms, some young platypuses can easily become food for cats and dogs.
In this case, even on such an isolated and primitive continent, the living environment of the platypus has become increasingly harsh.
Without the intervention of human factors, this creature may become extinct as foreign invasions increase.
After all, Zhao Meng had not simulated for a long time. After relaxing for a while, he remembered that the simulation system would give a text prompt after entering the simulation.
Thinking of this, he quickly looked through the system's prompt records.
[You grew up in an area of human activity, and you will thrive under the influence of humans. 】
"Um!?"
Seeing such a prompt, Zhao Meng was stunned for a moment.
Like the previous two animals’ bicycles, this bicycle simulation also has the theme of fertility.
But what was different from before was that this time there was interference from human factors. As a human being, Zhao Meng thought that he still understood human beings.
"With human intervention, wouldn't the simulation success rate be higher?"
"Then wouldn't this second round reduce the difficulty?"
Zhao Meng was confused for a moment, and without much hesitation, he entered the simulation system again, and the prompt text appeared again.
Zhao Meng also hurriedly left the dangerous deep water area and headed towards the shore.
At this time, a glow appeared in the east,
After being used to seeing the purple-red morning light in this world, Zhao Meng actually felt a little nostalgic in his heart when he saw the familiar glow of the past life again.
"Wait, what is that?"
In Zhao Meng's field of vision, he saw strips of clouds appearing on the glow. Compared with the clouds in the sky, these clouds were moving slowly at a certain speed.
"This is definitely not a naturally occurring cloud and mist?"
Zhao Meng climbed a little higher.
I saw the bright red sun rising slowly from the gaps in several tall chimneys.
"factory!"
"How can there be a factory in the habitat of the platypus?"
Zhao Meng remembered that the platypus was one of the national treasures of that mining country and was protected by the ecosystem.
"Wait a minute, that place entered the developed world with its mining industry, and its population is very sparse and concentrated in a small part of the east.
In other words, most areas are sparsely populated, and environmental organizations cannot penetrate deeply..."
Recalling some geographical knowledge, Zhao Meng looked at the smoking factory and finally understood why the system prompted such a prompt.
"Sure enough, the biggest threat to the destruction of nature is humans?"
As a living creature, Zhao Meng believed that he was unable to resist the powerful destructive power of human beings, and he wanted to change places.
But just like the previous two second rounds, the simulation was limited to one area and he couldn't escape.
"That's all! Find the female first."
In such a high-risk area, the first thing that Zhao Meng thought of was to complete the simulation mission.
However, he found that females were almost extinct in the areas identified by the system.
This made Zhao Meng feel a little uncomfortable. It was difficult for a strong man to have sex without a woman. Without females, where would he go to breed?
…
"Why is this second week of simulation so weird?"
Zhao Meng has been in the simulation for six days.
At first he thought he would have to endure environmental pollution to reproduce.
But after living these days, Zhao Meng discovered that the pollutants in the river were not as serious as imagined.
The ecology in the river is relatively healthy, and there are not many large creatures that can eat him.
The only trouble is the cats and dogs that often appear on the shore, but as a platypus that can move in the water, the threat from cats and dogs is not that big for him.
"If the platypus's second round was only this difficult, I would be able to pass it very quickly."
Zhao Meng's duckbill kept probing around in the water. He had already found the smell of the female:
"It's close!" Zhao Meng became excited at this time.
Zhao Meng is not afraid of anything else. As long as there are females, he can overcome all difficulties and dangers to complete the task.
I'm afraid there are no females here...
Zhao Meng saw a female platypus hunting on the shore in front.
At this moment, a violent explosion was heard, startling the female platypus.
"Oh! Don't run!"
Seeing the female platypus disappear into the water, Zhao Meng felt helpless. He turned back and glanced at the source of the explosion.
I saw a flash of fire rising into the sky from where the factory was.
"Sure enough, it won't be that simple."
Looking at the burning factory, Zhao Meng hurriedly hid in the water.
The fire grew larger and larger, igniting the surrounding forest.
"This is bad. There is already a drought trend here, and with this forest fire, it may be difficult to survive."
Zhao Meng was hiding in the water while the fire kept burning. Fortunately, the fire went in the other direction.
Three days later,
As the fire receded, the river environment where Zhao Meng was located was rapidly deteriorating at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhao Meng felt that he had to leave the river.
However, not long after Zhao Meng landed ashore, he was captured by a predator that escaped from the forest.
[Simulation failed]
"Come again!"
Zhao Meng entered the simulation system once, and the factory was still standing there with thick smoke.
Although the factory did not contaminate him, Zhao Meng knew that in a few days, the factory would explode and cause a wildfire, and he had to complete his task in just a few days.
"Go find the female."
This time, Zhao Meng did not wander around and directly found the area where the female was last time.
"found it!"
Zhao Meng smelled the smell and found the so-called female.
However, when he approached the female platypus, he was shocked by the state of the female platypus:
"How can this platypus, which smells like a female, be a male?"
He didn't understand, so after a fight with the platypus disguised as a female, he drove it away.
Zhao Meng stayed there for a moment and looked at the factory again.
"Is there something discharged from the factory that affects the gender of the platypus?"
"What kind of factory is that?"
With doubts, Zhao Meng wanted to take a closer look around the factory.
But unfortunately, this factory is outside the scope of the simulation and he cannot approach it.
The flames still rose from the factory, and Zhao Meng's simulation failed again as expected.
…
"Time and time again..."
"Why are these platypuses so weirdly gendered?"
Zhao Meng didn't know how many times his simulation had failed. He was trying to find a female platypus in this area.
However, I don’t know what substance was released in that factory, which opened some kind of shackles and caused the gender of these platypuses to become strange.
"No matter what, I have to give it a try anyway."
Repeated failures caused Zhao Meng's mood to fluctuate greatly.
This time he did not care about male or female in the simulation.
As long as it smelled right, he would give it a try, and just like that, Zhao Meng went after smelling it.
…
Many simulations allowed him to figure out the location of every platypus in the territory, so it was not difficult to find them.
"That's it!"
Zhao Meng went up, and like Zhou Mu, following a series of processes, Zhao Meng entered the stage of mating and reproduction.
"It actually works."
Zhao Meng didn't expect that it smelled like a female and looked like a male, but actually it was still a female when used.
Such a roller coaster of changes made him a little uncomfortable.
"It should be successful this time!"
…
Zhao Meng looked at the female platypus entering the cave, and then looked at the factory in the other direction.
He just wanted to finish this simulation quickly,
To be honest, the platypus's two-eye simulation was weird and uncomfortable that he couldn't describe.
The factory explosion happened again.
After several simulation experiences, he also gained experience in avoiding fire. He took the female platypus into an underground cave area.
Fire used to be pollution again,
Zhao Meng and the female platypus came to a clean living water area.
Although such an area attracted many wild animals, Zhao Meng still survived due to his caution.
Under his protection, the female platypus hatched her young.
Looking at the born child, Zhao Meng was speechless for a long time.
"Why does my baby have a hole like this?"
What else did he want to continue observing.
But at this moment, a text prompt appeared in front of him [Simulation Successful].
Following the system prompts, the scene in front of him became unreal.
When he came to his senses again, his consciousness had returned to his body.
Colored lottery tubes have also appeared in the shadow space, just waiting for him to draw the entries.
