Sandbox Game: Spore Evolution

"With the technology of the Zerg, it can naturally be done easily," the Insect Nest Sub-Brain replied, "However, it cannot be done like online games on Earth, where you level up by killing monsters."

Xu Zhi nodded.

This isn't a real game anyway. This is the real world, so naturally there's no level-up setting where you get stronger by killing monsters.

He also didn't have any ideas about providing level-ups and monster-slaying. He planned to create an open sandbox world similar to "Minecraft," where players could freely explore, evolve, and build.

He intended to make it a relaxing farming game like "Moorhuhn," or a casual nurturing game like "Spore."

Xu Zhi gave them a 10,000-fold acceleration of cell division, allowing them to start from the Spore state and evolve their own species.

They would control their own cell division, growth, evolution, aging, death, and the evolution of new species. They could finish a game of "Spore Evolution" in two or three days, freely exploring to see if they could evolve some special creature and give him a surprise.

This was just a whimsical little design.

It wouldn't take too much effort. His main core goal was still the large sandbox.

They could only entertain themselves in the independent small sandbox, casually nurturing.

The two sandboxes would not be connected, and it was impossible for them to enter the native's large sandbox world, because they couldn't level up by killing monsters. As for letting them cultivate slowly and honestly like the natives? Heh.

I don't have time to train you!

And this independent small mysterious sandbox, Xu Zhi planned to call "Origin of Life in Myriad Worlds," meaning the origin of competition for any species.

Xu Zhi would select the most unique, powerful, and interesting potential races from each of their game evolutions and add them to the large sandbox, into the Great Flood world after the Sumerian Civilization, to improve his sandbox world.

After all, having only the Insect Ape as an intelligent race was too monotonous.

At this moment, Xu Zhi already knew that having only one dominant intelligent race would easily destroy the sandbox, leading to extreme imbalances. He wanted to create a world with many races, mutually restraining each other.

"How many days will it take to complete this?" Xu Zhi asked.

"About three days," the Insect Nest Sub-Brain replied, surprisingly quickly. "Existing technology already has VR Gaming Glasses, which can be used as a medium to guide them into the sandbox."

"VR, that works too?" Xu Zhi was stunned.

Currently, VR movies were popular, but he had played a few VR games online, and they were terrible, the technology was far from mature.

But since the Insect Nest Sub-Brain said it would work, Xu Zhi didn't ask any more questions. After all, the previous Zerg took the path of brain development and evolution, following the technological side of high-intelligence civilization. They even had planet-destroying cannons, so there were naturally many black technologies.

"Then I'll first open up a small sandbox in the yard to serve as a 'Spore Evolution' game sandbox for the players."

He felt much better and planned to reopen the second plot of farmland.

"Anyway, the place isn't big, just in front of the house, thirty square meters." He waved his hoe. "If I don't like someone, I can also step on them to death when I go out."

The Insect Nest Sub-Brain would take care of the network data and various things in the next few days. He also needed to prepare the sandbox site for testing in advance.

Am I really becoming a farmer, grazing and farming in the yard?

He waved his hoe, and the previous layout seemed familiar, creating the exact same sandbox environment.

His body was better, although he still had a terminal illness, he had the strength to work.

Then, after preparing the sandbox, he swept it again with a flamethrower, clearing the remnants of plants and animals.

This time, he was stronger, and the thirty-square-meter sandbox in front of him only took him half a day. After the sandbox was ready, his clothes were covered in black mud, so he simply took a shower.

A day later.

Chen Wenshan was a senior player on the Steam platform. As a junior in college and a passionate game enthusiast, he had purchased countless games. He had just finished playing Sekiro, cursing that it was too hardcore, and silently began searching for niche new games and various seedlings on the platform.

What's this? A VR game, "Spore Evolution" beta version?

Description: Sandbox farming game, starting with a Spore, species evolution, infinite possibilities, the first choice for casual players?

He silently grasped a few keywords, chuckled, and cursed that some domestic black game merchant was putting it up to scare people. Infinite possibilities, evolving into a Spore? Did you think you were playing Civilization 7? They start from primitive tribes, but you're even more exaggerated, starting from a Spore, a single-celled organism? The openness is too exaggerated, are you better than those European and American game giants?

Moreover, VR games weren't anything new, could it be anything good?

"Heh, the previous hype of VR games has already cooled down. It's not like I haven't played them before, putting on VR Gaming Glasses, building blocks, milking cows, playing a pig... existing technology can't achieve that at all." He complained while silently downloading.

It was clearly an unknown small factory game, but it was 73 GB, and the configuration requirements were terrifyingly high, simply sensational.

Such a huge game size in the current game circle, which one wasn't developed by a foreign game giant for more than three or four years, spending a professional team of hundreds or thousands of people to make a 3A masterpiece? He couldn't help but look forward to it.

After Chen Wenshan finished downloading, he registered an account "Mount Akina Speed," put on his VR Gaming Glasses that he usually used to watch movies, and began to enter the game.

"What exquisite entry graphics." Chen Wenshan's eyes lit up as soon as he logged in, finding it somewhat interesting and different from the usual shoddy VR games. He watched for a while, and there was only one option:

[Begin the Spore's Evolutionary Life?]

He silently clicked.

His vision went black, and he felt like he was swimming in a black ocean, as if he had gone blind.

"How is this possible! There's actually a sense of touch, like I'm really swimming in the ocean?" Chen Wenshan's mind went blank for a moment.

Could this be some kind of black technology?

Transmitting the perception from the game into the brain through the device's electrical signals, achieving a real virtual sense? This is the legendary virtual reality game, 100% real!

He gradually found it unbelievable and became excited, knowing that he had touched something unimaginably terrifying. As a veteran player in the industry, he clearly understood what kind of storm this thing would cause in the entire circle if it were spread out.

"It's so dark." Chen Wenshan swam around in the pitch-black ocean for a while, then became dumbfounded.

What am I supposed to do in this game? I can't see anything at all. Am I blind?

At this moment, a data prompt appeared in front of him: "The player is still in the Spore state, a single-celled organism. Please evolve eyes and a visual system."

???

Evolve my eyes?

Chen Wenshan was completely dumbfounded. This damn game, which claimed to be a casual farming sandbox game and the first choice for casual players, was actually more hardcore than Sekiro?
