“The opening is the same as the forum said.”
Carefully checking the information that emerged in front of him, Chen Bing raised his hand to turn it off and looked around.
In a dark forest with insufficient light, the air in the woods was moist, and a salty sea breeze blew through the gap between the trees, and Chen Bing felt a chill.
This was almost the same as the information he found in the forum, but Chen Bing dared not have the slightest carelessness.
“Evolution Island” was an official game, and the biggest difference from the previous five novice tutorial games was that even if the formal game had appeared many times, the specific game strategies would not work. When the game was regenerated, the tasks in the game would also change, and the non-player character’s actions in the game might vary greatly depending on different players entering the game.
A non-player character was a good old man in the previous game. Later a player who might have some connection with him entered the game, which caused a big change in the non-player character’s character, and he became a mad killer in the end.
The tasks and game events related to this non-player character would naturally be reversed, and they even might become a historical event that would be the turning point of the game.
At the beginning of the opening of the Homeland game, many players played according to the game strategies given by some experienced players and got themselves into a lot of trouble.
Only novice tutorials of the game strategy were somehow fixed. For the official game strategies, most of them were for reference only.
However, this was not to say that the strategy was useless; in the same game, at least the general setting of the game would not change much. If lucky, one could also encounter the same task as told in the strategy.
The game of “Evolution Island” itself was fickle. Chen Bing just hoped that the rules of the game of “Evolution Island” would not change, and even if there were some changes, it would not be too much.
At present, the game opening was still consistent with what the forum said, which made Chen Bing feel a bit relieved.
Most of the independent games were played in a unique way, which was different from the traditional games, and so it was with “Evolution Island.” With each death, the game settlement score would be greatly reduced at the end of the game.
Chen Bing was in no hurry to act. He opened the role attributes panel and checked again with the information.
“Role: *****”
“Grade: 1”
“Evolution of variation: 0 time”
“Evolutionary energy: 0/10”
“Life: 50”
“Physical strength: 5 (affects physical defense and health)”
“Strength: 5 (1+2%) (affects physical damage)”
“Agile: 5 (affects attack speed and movement speed)”
“Spirit: 5 (affects magic defense, casting speed and casting time)”
“Intelligence: 5 (affects magic damage)”
“Skills: Devouring Evolution, Time RewindI”
…
“Skill: Devouring Evolution”
“Type: “Evolution Island” special skills”
“Effect: When you kill a living body, your body will automatically absorb the evolution energy flowing out of that living body. When the evolution energy bar is full, you can use this ability to devour and absorb the corpse of that body, so that your body properties can be strengthened.”
“Remark: After the evolution energy bar is full, the energy will be released in the character’s body immediately. You must devour and absorb the corpse within 3 minutes and obtain the evolution energy for the greatest effect. If it exceeds 3 minutes, the effect will become weaker.”
…
“Skill: Time Rewind”
“Type: Generic”
“Grade: I”
“Demand: Energy”
“Effect: The legendary skill from the “Li” Homeland, which if the user meets the conditions of use, can make the user’s time go back to the start of recorded time. At the current skill level, you can allow time to start from the starting point of recorded time and let time go back for 10 seconds. Each time you use it, one grid of energy will be consumed.”
“Energy: 5”
“Remark: One of the most powerful skills of “Li” Homeland, which disappeared with the destruction of “Li” Homeland a long time ago.”
…
Chen Bing read his attributes at a glance.
In most independent games, the basic attributes would be exactly the same except for the skills brought from Homeland.
Of course, the attribute enhancement effect gained by upgrading the Homeland building would also take effect in the game. Chen Bing upgraded the slime factory to level 2, and the 2% power enhancement was reflected in the attribute, but since the basic attribute was 5, the 2% power enhancement did not make any difference.
Therefore, if one wanted to make oneself stronger and gain greater advantages in the game, upgrading one’s Homeland building was the most direct and effective way.
The more advanced the Homeland building was, the more powerful the player’s attribute growth would be.
Generally speaking, the game attributes of “Evolution Island” were not much different from most of the game attributes in their Homelands. If there was anything different, it would only be about the experience and upgrade method.
In the “Evolution Island”, what was needed for upgrading was the “evolution energy.”
When the evolution energy was full, if one used the Devouring Evolution skill on the corpse of a life form, the player’s level could increase by 1 level.
However, the attributes obtained after the upgrade were not fixed, but were closely related to the devouring and absorption of corpses.
The more powerful the corpses were devoured and absorbed, the more attributes one would gain after the upgrade!
Chen Bing had not played many games, and so this way of upgrading was new for him and he thought that it was full of novelty.
According to this upgrade method, the attributes of players at the same level were no longer immutable, and there might be a huge gap between them.
If one devoured and absorbed BOSS monster corpses every time during upgrade, one would become strong in no time.
However, small BOSS levels were at least 10 in “Evolution Island” and all their attributes were amazing. Therefore if one was not fully prepared, to challenge a BOSS meant committing suicide.
Chen Bing did not want to risk his life. He raised his hand, felt the direction of the slight sea breeze, and walked towards the seaside.
According to the settings of the game, the player was an adventurer that was hired to investigate the evolution of monsters. The ship was destroyed at sea, and the player passed out after being washed up on the island.
So as long as I go to the seaside, I will be able to find some materials that have been washed up on the beach.
Among these materials, the compass was particularly important.
Only by finding the “compass” could players leave the current island, not get lost at sea, and to be able to find the Evolution Island and complete the task by clearing the game.
The beach was not so far away. By following the direction of the sea breeze, Chen Bing found the beach two minutes later.
In no hurry to get out of the woods, Chen Bing hid behind a tree and carefully observed the situation on the beach.
There were a large number of gray wolves wandering on the beach; some were looking around warily; some were bowing their heads, rummaging through the scraps of ship planks and supplies, trying to find something to eat.
“The wolves’ level varies from 3 to 5, and my attribute level is 1. It would only be a dead end if I just go towards them, but with the warrior slime, I can attract them slowly over here and kill them.”
There was no sun in the depths of the woods, but by the beach, sunshine went into the woods.
Chen Bing found a sunny place and summoned the warrior slime.
There were tens of millions of players who entered “Evolution Island.” They would randomly appear on scattered islands, and there would be thousands of players on the same island, but the number of “compass” and materials were very limited. If players acted too slow and couldn’t get the compass, they could only rely on their luck in this vast sea, and most of the players would only be attacked and killed by sea monsters in the end.
Only the players who had checked the strategy online would understand this rule, but the vast majority of players would choose to come to the seaside after being promoted to level 2 or 3.
It was too dangerous to come to the seaside at level 1, even if they formed a team.
Chen Bing did not meet other players on his way to the seaside because of the above reasons.
After the warrior slime was summoned, his big black round eyes looked around curiously and saw the wolves on the beach. The warrior slime opened his mouth and wanted to demonstrate itself and yell.
But before the warrior slime made a sound, Chen Bing glanced at the stupid guy and spoke first.
“Don’t make any noise, or I’ll throw you into the sea.”
The wide mouth of the warrior slime was closed immediately.
Unable to roar, the warrior slime hopped around Chen Bing after being forbidden to give out any sound.
Chen Bing didn’t bother to care about this guy either. He was carefully observing the trajectory and rules of each wolf.
Although there was the warrior slime, he still had to be careful. Death in the evolution island game would not be an immediate kick-out of the game, but if he died once, it could affect his ranking.
As Chen Bing watched, the shadow of the warrior slime under the sun became more and more real.
“System: The “Shadow of Slime” formed!”
Five minutes later, a pitch-black “Shadow of Slime” exactly the same size as the warrior slime was formed.
The warrior slime looked curiously at the black Shadow of Slime and saw that it stood motionless and could not move at all. He knocked at the forehead of the Shadow of Slime by his sword.
“Stop it.”
Hearing the knocking sound, Chen Bing looked back and glared at the warrior slime.
Although the Shadow of Slime had the same attributes and skills as the warrior slime, it did not have the consciousness of the warrior slime, but was more like a puppet who could only take orders and act.
Chen Bing confirmed this by trying to give some orders to the Shadow of Slime.
After having a general understanding of the Shadow of Slime, Chen Bing was ready to take action, using the Shadow of Slime to lure the wolves.
“Hey, there’s a lonely fellow here!”
“Don’t put it that way, this guy brought a slime pet with him. Huh? This is the warrior slime, with the Shadow of Slime skills. What a lucky guy!”
But before Chen Bing started to act, a group of people suddenly surrounded him in the woods.
There was a total of nine, males and females, among which a male player looked at both the shadow of the warrior slime and the warrior slime at Chen Bing’s feet and spoke with surprise.
