These people are toxic!
Each and every one of them is plotting against me! Xu Zhi covered his head, feeling a deep headache and sensing the profound malice of this world.
Initially, his vision for this sandbox wasn't grand. A thirty-square-meter sandbox would fit nicely in the yard near the entrance. This way, he could easily observe their evolution while coming and going, sitting in his chair.
But precisely because of this proximity, they were thinking of targeting him, the observer.
Strictly speaking, they were all spores he had evolved. He was, in a sense, their creator, their old father... Who knew they'd want to target their own father, to commit patricide?
What utter rebellion!
Gilgamesh from before was one thing, as he was a product of the large sandbox's natural evolution. But now, even the casual players in the small sandbox, who were helping to evolve species, were planning to attack him.
"Perhaps, I am the most failed creator in history."
Xu Zhi was speechless, then adopted a calm demeanor. "Everyone wants to defy the heavens, defy the gods, attack me? Are they all so individualistic? I've already shown how strong I am."
"It seems this Mount Akina Speed hasn't entered society yet, hasn't experienced the beatings of the real world. I need to teach him a lesson. Since he wants to act like the biggest badass among the players, he needs to be prepared for the most miserable beating!"
Xu Zhi felt he needed to show them who's boss, lest they neglect their duties all day.
Xu Zhi thought for a moment, not too concerned about these guys' schemes. After all, vitality was conducive to the evolution of species.
He simply asked the Insect Nest Sub-Brain, "Does this new species possess extraordinary potential?"
The Insect Nest Sub-Brain responded with a mechanical voice, "This species possesses extraordinary potential."
"It really does!"
Xu Zhi immediately took a big bite of his apple, filled with envy and jealousy.
Some people really did have talent that couldn't be matched.
Compared to the bizarre Evil Eye species from last time, this species was clearly much more perfect and beautiful.
Presumably, fearing it was too small to poison Xu Zhi, it had evolved to its current maximum size, equivalent to that of a beetle. Compared to the size of an ant, it was like an elephant.
With a body as large as an elephant, the bright red rooster resembled a giant crimson phoenix, looking beautiful and appetizing.
It looked delicious.
"How strong is the poison?" Xu Zhi asked. "Currently, does it pose a threat to me?"
Xu Zhi was still quite vigilant. It would be a joke to be overturned in a ditch and poisoned.
"This species has some pufferfish characteristics. The meat is extremely delicious, but the poison is potent and has a strong aftereffect. Even a small one could easily take down an adult."
Xu Zhi immediately sucked in a breath of cold air.
This guy was ruthless!
To painstakingly create such a poisonous species, he really wanted to kill me!
A creature the size of a beetle could poison an adult, showing how potent the poison was.
"It can poison an ordinary person, but what if it poisons me?" Xu Zhi asked. "Someone like me, with a powerful gene that has evolved to near perfection, and who has cultivated the spiritual Meditation of a Witch."
If it could only poison ordinary people, then there was no need to put it in the sandbox. It wouldn't even be enough for those Witches to torment.
The Insect Nest Sub-Brain replied, "The specific strength of the poison needs to be tested. As the Queen Zerg, you can personally test the poison."
"I'm not a queen, please call me Emperor." Xu Zhi muttered softly.
The Insect Nest Sub-Brain obviously didn't have high intelligence and couldn't understand Xu Zhi's joke, continuing mechanically, "Please, Queen Zerg, personally test the poison. Although the poison is potent, it is a Spore creature and will not pose a threat to the Queen Zerg herself."
Xu Zhi muttered, "No threat to me? Since it really has potential, regardless of Mount Akina Speed's intentions, I have to test the poison and the future potential of this species."
After Xu Zhi finished speaking, he took another bite of his apple. After all, perfecting the extraordinary world of the sandbox was the most important thing. After the appearance of an Evil Eye genius player, he was quite looking forward to this second new species.
Seven or eight meters away.
"We're waiting for him to eat!"
"Shh, secretly, we'll poison him..."
"How insidious, but I like it!"
In the lush forest of the small sandbox, they were still secretly observing, whispering, and secretly watching their super-large, ten-thousand-foot-tall giant.
Xu Zhi had been eating mostly fruits lately, after all, with Stomach Cancer, he had to be kinder to his stomach. After finishing an apple, he started on another. Since I'm supposed to test the potential of this new species, I might as well stick to my normal daily routine. Since it willingly came into my bowl and even evolved to be so delicious, I'll reluctantly eat it. Hopefully, it'll be crunchy.
It wasn't yet Xu Zhi's usual five o'clock dinner time, so he wasn't in a hurry. He quietly opened the black notebook of species evolution.
This was another thing he needed to do: record the experiments in the species evolution sandbox.
He wanted to write a fifth era after the Dark Martial Era, Light Martial Era, Newborn Era, and Genesis.
Although the Babylon Kingdom era didn't seem to be over yet, he already wanted to make some notes.
"This era will be called..." Xu Zhi pondered for a moment, then casually came up with a name, "Prosperous Witch Era, I guess. A large number of witches appear on the ground, the era of witches."
He chewed on his pen thoughtfully and wrote the beginning: "Prosperous Witch Era: Hermes, the God of Wisdom, speaks to the people on the ground, and the Three Witches thus open the path of the Witch. Babylon, year 198: the Three Witches reach the end of their lives, and the gods bestow a miracle, mourning them..."
Knock, knock, knock! Before Xu Zhi could finish writing, the girl's voice came from outside the door, signaling that dinner had arrived.
Xu Zhi quickly stood up and went to open the door.
The bizarre creatures secretly plotting on the ground saw this and screamed loudly, running away in a frenzy.
"Brothers, run!"
"The daily routine is starting, it's time for dinner again, stay away from the beast path!"
After all, Xu Zhi had built the sandbox right at the entrance of the courtyard. When he went out, he naturally had to cross the sandbox along the path to get out. This path was called the 'beast path' by the players, the daily route of the giant boss. At critical times, they had to stay away from the beast path to avoid being trampled.
"He's gone, he's gone. Did anyone get trampled to death?"
"Brothers, the daily dinner routine has begun! According to the usual timing, we have about four minutes. Let's take the opportunity to climb onto the giant chair!"
"Quick, form a human ladder!"
"Charge! Kill the boss, get the first kill!"
"Dragon-slaying blade, free with every click! If you're a brother, come and chop me down!!"
A group of bizarre ant-like creatures climbed up the chair, intending to hide behind the backrest.
But Mount Akina Speed suddenly stopped everyone from hiding. As a veteran player, he naturally had rich experience. "Brothers, when you're in a dungeon, fighting a boss, don't get excited. Stay calm and follow my commands. I just observed in secret that the giant is not only eating an apple this time, but he also took out that black notebook he always reads. He often takes out this book to record things. Let's take a peek. It's probably a hidden quest."
The crowd looked at each other.
Oh right, a hidden side quest. Just thinking about it makes me happy.
"I'll do it, I have eight legs!"
"Me, me, me! I have five arms! Everyone calls me the deformed little prince!"
"I'm even more amazing! I have five tentacle eyeballs, waving wildly. I can open it with my eyes!"
A dozen strange creatures, all feeling that they were super strong, excitedly joined forces to open the huge page that looked like a basketball court.
These tiny creatures, lying on the chair, opened the cover of the huge black book page, only to see the three words "Genesis" written on the first page, and couldn't help but shudder.
"What is this?"
Updates are infrequent and depend on my mood.
