Actually, Xu Zhi hadn't expected things to develop this way.

He knew from the start that it would be hardcore and very difficult to get into.

Only those who had studied related professional knowledge would have a chance to evolve a species that could barely survive.

Being hardcore was a given. Otherwise, Xu Zhi wouldn't have found it so troublesome and difficult to handle himself. That's why he wanted to enlist others to help evolve new species.

Moreover, this wasn't some kind of monster-slaying level-up game, but a sandbox-style casual evolution game with a terrifyingly high difficulty. It should have been a niche thing.

But he didn't expect that there would actually be people who would study such profound and obscure knowledge of species evolution just to play a game.

Perhaps there was a group of hardcore players in this world who liked to be "abused."

And sandbox casual construction games have always had a large audience. Some people just don't like monster-slaying and showing off. Stardew Valley and Minecraft have always had a large player base.

In this lengthy and detailed review, the comments below were crazy. In a short period of time, they had accumulated thousands of floors, causing a complete sensation.

Jump Sing Play Basketball: "Question! Is it really that exaggerated? But it's described in such detail, it seems real."

Crazy African: "Too hardcore, starting with a Spore, evolution depends entirely on biological knowledge?"

Little Fists Are Beautiful: "Wow! As a bad student, I really want to play, infinite possibilities!"

Super Tech Otaku: "I guess this first player hasn't explored the real content of the game yet, like the giant in the background he mentioned, I find it very interesting. After all, he evolved an incomplete species that didn't last long before it went extinct."

Little Brain Tiger Goes Down the Mountain: "Origin of Species is already being read! I already have the knowledge of evolutionary theory, comparable to a biology professor in university, just lacking a Spore to practice with and test my evolutionary theories. I need a closed beta spot, waiting online, it's urgent!"

Some were looking forward to it, some were frantically asking for spots, and some were eagerly expressing their desire to play. Didn't it sound fun? Of course, more people said that this was a huge scam of the century, and these hundred people were acting. They were waiting to see how long the poster could keep up the act.

However, they were quickly slapped in the face.

Because this "Mount Akina Speed" had already started a live broadcast on the platform, and the screen was linked to his VR Glasses.

Before their eyes was a blue sea, the realistic picture like watching a beautiful epic ocean movie.

"Friends, I just evolved eyes, this step is already familiar. Next, I will start preying on algae organisms and switch to a carnivorous diet, according to the evolutionary experience of Cambrian species on Earth, the evolution route of arthropods."

At this time, a fierce beetle came over.

"Damn, what is that? It looks like a trilobite from the Paleozoic era, eat it quickly!"

"Eat my ass, streamer run! It's going to eat you, treat you as food! Run, develop stealthily and evolve, and when you become stronger in the future, evolve into a carnivore and come back to use it as a recipe!"

For a time, it completely exploded.

Xu Zhi watched for a while, and felt that this enthusiasm was very good, let them continue to ferment, and ignored them.

As for, some people have already proposed a petition with ten thousand signatures, requesting to open more closed beta spots "Think there are few spots? What does it matter to me, I don't make money from your games, I don't get any benefits from you, you can make suggestions as much as you want, I'll lose if I adopt them."

Xu Zhi laughed, too lazy to get them again, let them live and die.

He didn't have much mind to pay attention here, after all, this was just a small design, but he didn't expect that it would explode such a big storm in the game circle.

It's useless even if you make a fuss to God, Xu Zhi just doesn't want to expand it.

What do you need so many people for?

It's not really to serve you and let you play games.

Unless there is an unexpected surprise, otherwise he plans to always stop at this "closed beta", completely become a niche game, only allowing a hundred people to enter the sandbox, and wait for them to slowly evolve potential species.

At this moment, the online game Spore Evolution was fermenting wildly, and Xu Zhi just glanced at this small sandbox for a while, and focused his attention on another big sandbox.

This is his real job.

The Sumerian of the previous era, strictly speaking, only Gilgamesh and other three extraordinary creatures appeared. In the next civilization, Xu Zhi wanted him to have a mature extraordinary cultivation system.

It is best to evolve a wizard civilization. The previous Gilgamesh once asked the court Black Wizard to study longevity potions to extend his life.

That was the prototype of a wizard.

Xu Zhi also hoped that a complete wizard civilization would appear, a great wizard who is good at Alchemy, can study witchcraft and potions, and create a potion that can solve his terminal illness of cancer.

Therefore, in order to establish this complete extraordinary system civilization, the sandbox must have various mysterious and dangerous extraordinary species as a reference for the wizards to learn.

After all, after the previous Queen Zerg died, the technological data has been cleared, and there is no high-tech medical equipment of the Zerg technology. If he wants to cure the disease, he can only find a way to re-deduce the sandbox and create his own extraordinary means of saving lives.

Xu Zhi looked at the swamp mud in the big sandbox.

"A day has passed, and the Big Eye Monsters and Evil Eyes have already begun to reproduce in large numbers. Now, they've even evolved special individuals?" Xu Zhi was slightly pleased, as expected, this kind of bizarre evolution had great potential.

Over a hundred years had passed, and because the newly opened environment had no natural enemies, even such weak species had reproduced wildly and were everywhere.

But soon, due to over-reproduction, internal competitive pressure increased, food became scarce, and without natural enemies, their natural enemy became their own species.

For food, they competed among themselves, began to fight each other in the swampy mud, vying for food, and even eating each other, being extremely cruel.

Gradually, those Evil Eyes became more and more tyrannical.

A unique Evil Eye appeared.

It possessed a strange mental power, and any creature watched by it would be charmed, obediently coming before it to become its food.

This first generation transcendent species of Evil Eye quickly rose to the top, becoming the apex overlord of the swamp ecosystem. Because it had no natural enemies, it began to reproduce wildly, preying on other Evil Eyes.

Survival of the fittest.

Those ordinary Big Eye Monsters were quickly slaughtered in large numbers. The entire land was filled with the descendants of that Evil Eye with the charm ability, constantly expanding their numbers, one, a hundred, a thousand.

Those ordinary Evil Eyes began to completely go extinct, becoming a thing of the past.

"A transcendent species has finally appeared, with chaotic mental power?"

Xu Zhi was slightly shaken, "As expected, it has great potential. Although it has no intelligence, it can already act like a carnivorous plant in the animal kingdom, able to lure other creatures to become its food."

It wasn't until after the fourth era that the first transcendent species was finally born.

Xu Zhi's mind stirred slightly, and he suddenly looked at the large sandbox. Unexpectedly, another drastic event had occurred, because a group of Insect Apes had ventured into that swampy mud.
