Chapter 197 The world changed by an egg(1/2)

[Evolutionary genes—can make you stronger.]

"Evolutionary genes" is an extremely difficult term to pronounce. When they first heard about this thing, the soldiers and civilians in Yingdu basically couldn't figure out what it was.

Everyone is illiterate, and no one needs to laugh at anyone, so for such a new thing, many versions have been circulated, among which three versions are the most reliable.

Limited by their knowledge and vision, they only understand it as a herbal medicine that can heal people, or a tonic that can strengthen the body.

For men, becoming stronger and becoming stronger is really a very important thing.

Some people also understand it to be similar to farmed poultry such as chickens and ducks, because the appearance of the "evolutionary gene" is like an egg like an egg or a duck egg, which is much smaller than a goose egg.

After redeeming it, it may be possible to breed it, and it may be some kind of poultry seedlings that are very suitable for growth.

After all, food is the life of the people and meat is the life of the soldiers.

There is even a group of people who claim to be "quick-thinking and resourceful" who believe that "evolutionary genes" are just a way for the Chu Palace to harvest points from the military and civilians.

The Chu Palace treated the generals and civilians like leeks, using "evolutionary genes" to consume the points in the hands of the military and civilians, thus reducing the expenditure on materials. All those who exchanged "evolutionary genes" were equivalent to paying an "IQ tax".

At the beginning, when the first two views were mainstream, the points in everyone's hands were not enough for them to exchange for the expensive "luxury" of "evolutionary genes"; but later, the third view became the mainstream, and "evolutionary genes" also became

It has become a kind of "scythe for cutting leeks", and fewer people are willing to spend a lot of money to exchange it.

There is no intention to belittle the ancients.

From a modern perspective, anyone who has some basic knowledge of biology or has attended nine-year compulsory education must know what "evolutionary genes" mean.

But more than 2,000 years ago, the Chu State was still in a slave society and might not even have a concept of "evolution", so it was a last resort to use this method to cautiously test the Chu Palace.

Yes, test.

Those intellectual workers who claim to be "quick and resourceful" are actually not being ironic, but they are really smart.

Of course, it may also be the usual style of the nobles. Suppressing a new thing, making it unsaleable, then buying it at a low price, and then selling it at a high price. This strategy was common in ancient business wars, and it is also very effective when used in reverse.

Wonderful effect.

They changed the direction of public opinion, thus causing the "evolutionary genes" of the Chu Palace to be accumulated in the warehouse and unable to be redeemed.

Long-term accumulation and slow sales will gradually devalue "evolutionary genes". After all, "what can be sold is valuable, and what cannot be sold can only be treated as garbage."

Faced with the gradually depreciating "evolutionary genes", the Chu Palace had only two ways to deal with it, either bow to the mental workers in Yingdu City and reduce the redemption points of the "evolutionary genes".

In this way, "big smart people" can buy these "evolutionary genes" at low prices.

Or just let your "evolutionary genes" rot in your hands. After all, they look like the "evolutionary genes" of an egg, so the "shelf life" should be about the same as that of an egg.

Unfortunately, their plan failed. The Chu Palace showed a high attitude that it would not devalue it even if it was rotten, which made people confused for a while.

In short, this confrontation between "I won't buy if you don't lower the price" and "I won't lower the price if you like it or not" has lasted for half a month.

It wasn't until a certain veteran made a determined effort to redeem an "evolutionary gene" from the points exchange point and ate it with trepidation that the next day, the entire Yingdu City was boiling!

In just one night, the veteran went from being in his fifties with gray temples to looking like he was in his thirties. All the old injuries and some rheumatic bone diseases left on his body disappeared, and some injuries caused by lumbar strain were also covered in bed.

cure.

The body that was originally supposed to be in disrepair, with even half of its foot in the coffin, underwent a huge transformation overnight. Instead, it was replaced by a body of exaggerated muscles, like steel bars. The powerful strength that is different from ordinary people can easily stand alone.

The arm lifts a carriage, and although it looks a bit bulky, it is made of black chitin armor that can be freely retracted into the skin.

With such great power, he can kill a mutated wolf with a punch, stand firm like a rock under the siege of wolves, and can also withstand acid attacks from some weird flowers and plants.

Only then did he understand, and everyone also understood, what the so-called "evolution" meant.

"See? This is 'evolution'!"

"Changing the weak human body

The body, the power that allows you to stand at the top of the food chain again."

"Don't you understand? It doesn't matter. You just need to know that the 'evolutionary gene' symbolizes power."

"And power symbolizes wealth, status, and women. In this world that has begun to let itself go, as long as you have power, you can have everything!"

The voice of King Chu echoed strangely in the ears of every soldier and civilian in Yingdu City.

But they no longer have the intention to care about whether it is weird or not, because their eyes have been impressed by this terrifying power.

Countless hunters and soldiers who have the strength to exchange for "evolutionary genes" poured into the exchange point!

It can make the physical body stronger, even make you younger, and maybe even have the ability to extend your life!

Any individual will be tempted by such "power".

And under such a heavy reward, there was an extremely exaggerated wave of hunting mutant beasts.

If it was just for survival before, now it can be described as "recovery".

People seemed to have found the meaning of living, and the capital city of Ying was even more vibrant than before the catastrophe.

Because they have the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, and that is the "evolutionary gene"!

Of course, it was not that no one wanted to attack the exchange point and snatch more "evolutionary genes" after gaining powerful power, but soon, these people who rushed into the exchange point never appeared again.

What's more, someone was so daring that he tried to rush into the Chu Palace, but ended up setting himself on fire without even touching the palace wall.

In this regard, the ignorant Chu people guessed that the King of Chu might have raised a "ghost insect". The "ghost insect" was actually the pet of the great god Zhu Rong. If you sacrificed to this "ghost insect", you would get the offspring of the "ghost insect".

The "ghost eggs" are also the "evolutionary genes".

Those who wanted to challenge the majesty of the King of Chu naturally became sacrifices to "ghost insects" and became nutrients for laying "ghost insect eggs".

"Luo Xiang! Hurry! Don't let Shi Yan and the others grab that tooth-faced boar this time!" A man with a slightly deformed right hand and different sizes of his left and right hands said to his teammates.

"I know, Brother Lei!"

Next to "Brother Lei" is a man with long and somewhat deformed legs. His legs and knees have always been slightly bent, and it seems that he cannot straighten them up.

He is Luo Xiang, the fastest "runner" in the team.

However, his physical posture is more suitable to be described as "jumping" rather than running.

Luo Xiang jumped three or four meters away with a slight jump. After a few jumps, he ran directly to the front of the other team.

Rules between "Hunters": When two teams of Hunters are eyeing a target mutated beast at the same time, as long as anyone in one team comes into contact with the target first, the other team can no longer target it.

The target moves, unless all members of the team that moves first are killed.

"Stupid!" Shi Yan, who was wearing exaggerated muscles, saw Luo Xiang running in front of them. He curled his lips in displeasure, stopped, stretched out his hand to stop his advancing teammates, and said, "Forget it, we can't catch up.

Luo Xiang, no one in our team can outrun Luo Xiang."

"Captain?" His teammates looked at Shi Yan in confusion, "Are you going to give up the Fang-faced Boar like this?"

"How is that possible? Ha!" Shi Yan snorted coldly, and immediately showed a look of disdain, "They are just playing tricks and running fast. That tooth-faced wild boar is different from other wild boars, but it is as big as a chariot.

How could a monster be defeated so easily?"

"Captain, what should we do next?" Shi Yan's teammates gathered around and asked.

"Let's continue to follow. We won't do anything, just hang them from a distance." Shi Yan touched his chin and pinched his fist, which was almost as big as his head, "Ding Lei's group of thin bodies

There is no way this guy can eat such a big tooth-faced wild boar by himself, so he will have to give up when the time comes."

"Wonderful! Then we can appear on the scene and successfully take over the Tusk-faced Boar!" Another team member continued, with excitement on his face.

This kind of thing doesn't require much planning, and it can basically be said to be a matter of course.

They seem to have been able to see their team capture the head of the Tusk-faced Boar, then receive a large amount of points, and then arrange a "Ghost Egg" for everyone in their team.

Human beings are the most adaptable creatures. Not long after the cataclysm and the "evolutionary gene" appeared, they have already formed a unique survival mode.

The hunter-killer team is generally not too large, and is basically stable at three to eight people. With more than one person, it is easy to form a small group, and problems can easily arise when allocating points, which is very detrimental to unity.

If there is a gap in the team and the conflict suddenly breaks out when fighting monsters, it will be very bad. You don't need any "bloody lessons" to guess this.

Therefore, by keeping the team at a fixed number of people all year round and not rushing to expand, we are actually being responsible for the life safety of everyone in the team.

Shi Yan's team is a standard five-person team. Among the five people, in addition to Shi Yan, there are two other "god-favored ones" who have used the "evolutionary gene", which means "favored by the Zhurong Fire God."

A person who possesses great power beyond ordinary people."

It’s hard to pronounce, isn’t it? And when you pronounce it, it sounds tacky and weird.

But there is no way. This group of people with little education and sudden extraordinary powers just like to show off their extraordinaryness in this way.

According to the information received, the King of Chu is very interested in the tooth-faced wild boar, so it is very likely that he will give the highest points reward in history.

In other words, Shi Yan and the others are very likely to exchange for two copies of "evolutionary genes", turning the entire team into "gods' favored ones".

Now that the "Evolutionary Gene" has not been launched for a long time, the team of all "God's Favorites" can be said to be luxuriously equipped. Basically, it is enough to stand up and walk in Yingdu City, where dragons and crouching tigers are hidden.

Shi Yan and his teammates made a plan, and then began to follow Ding Lei's team from a distance, in an extremely delicate position——

Even if you don't catch up, you won't lose.

Ding Lei was not a fool, so he was naturally aware of Shi Yan's existence. He knew to a certain extent that Shi Yan and the others wanted to watch his team laugh before taking over the target.

Although he felt unhappy in every way, he had no choice but to let them follow the team.

"Captain?" A member of Ding Lei's team shouted hesitantly.
