The blob continued to pick a few types of cards each ti and let the others deteriorate with ti.
It didn’t take long before the blob picked out six rat cards.
The first was a plain card, while the other five had different colored lines on them.
Right before his eyes, all six cards rged into a super white card with the sa brightness as the first card, but with five different colored lines on it.
This was the chanic to create the super card that got the stat changes of the first card and the skills of the other five cards.
[You can combine six of these cards to create a super version of that Template Card.]
That was just the beginning.
As more ti passed, he saw the blob, picking out different cards with colored lines and combining them into different super cards. Then it picked out the best Super Template Card while letting the others deteriorate.
Then, at the very center, a gray population of rats erged.
When the blob used them to create a template, sothing new happened.
This ti, the border around the card changed from white to black. This black-bordered card could not rge with the white-bordered cards.
Forsyx smiled as it hit him that these grey rats were new variants of the rat species.
[Natural evolution may take ti, but it requires the least effort.]
Forsyx nodded his head.
He had just seen that all the white blob did was leave the rats undisturbed.
Now he could see that two different subspecies of rats were thriving inside this small forest: the white rats with different physical traits on one side, and the grey rats on the other.
[The only thing you need for natural evolution is to provide a stable environnt and ti.]
The next mont, he found himself back in ti, right at the mont when the white blob had just built the other terrains.
[The second branch of Evolution is Adaptation. The one that requires a massive price but yields faster and more efficient results.]
This ti, only the first forest blurred, as all he saw were the other empty terrains.
The white blob just picked out batches of 100 white rats and dropped them into different environnts.
What followed next was nothing short of a massacre, as most of the rats just couldn’t survive the sudden changes in their environnt.
Those on the mountains just froze to death, while those in the desert simply died of starvation.
It was extrely inhumane.
Forsyx rembered that this scene had left a big impact on him in his past life, but this ti, he found it much tar. He had already seen and done much worse.
Whenever these rats landed in a new environnt, they wasted their energy screaming and running.
Not caring about any of that, the white blob continued placing the rats into these environnts.
It took the deaths of around 1,000 pulse rats before a change started to happen.
On the mountains, the 11th batch had a few rats who started digging a big hole together.
Eventually, a dozen of them survived.
This number increased with each batch, and soon, a decent number of rats survived on the mountain.
They started eating the hard pine trees and more. With ti, he noticed a few of the rats developing thick hair, wide paws, long tails, and so on.
This ti, the white blob took a dozen of these white rats to the lab. Interestingly, all the templates started to have different shades of blue lines.
All of this had confused him in the past, but now he knew—it just showed these rats had started developing similar types of skills to survive in the cold.

Fifteen or sixteen batches later, the sa sequence started happening in the desert conditions. This ti, the template cards started having brown lines.
But Forsyx noticed that the white blob discarded all these cards, and he saw the reason with his own eyes.
Even though these rats had started to survive, they were still too fragile and lived only for a few days. It was likely they had only developed the bare minimum of survival skills.
Not caring about any losses, the white blob started emptying the small forest, just sending the rats to different terrains.
Forsyx noticed that just when only a few groups of rats were left in the small forest, the white blob stopped transferring them.
Ti continued to pass as the total number of rats decreased drastically, but the rats on the other terrains also started adjusting.
On one mountain, the rats started reproducing at a much faster pace, while in the desert, the fertility rate went down a bit, but each individual rat started to beco more resilient.
It didn’t take long before both these terrains got their second variant of rat species.
[Adaptation is much faster than natural evolution, but keep in mind the price of using this thod is much higher.]
Forsyx just nodded his head.
While natural evolution was all about leaving everything to ti, in adaptation, you forcefully change the environnt in the hope that creatures would adapt.
He knew what the white blob did was very basic, and there was a big risk of what if the rats failed to adapt? Then all those resources would have been wasted for nothing.
At this mont, once again, fog appeared all around the lab—except for this small grass garden just next to it.
[The third branch of evolution is combination. This is the thod of interbreeding different variants or subspecies.]
This ti, he saw the white blob floating toward the grass garden with five different varieties of rats.
It just left those rats in the grassland.
What followed was rat interbreeding with each other.
Most of it was unsuccessful. A few tis, even when the rats gave birth, it was mostly unstable babies that died a few monts after birth.
Though a few lucky ones survived, they were born into either of their parents’ variants.
So new colorful rats started to appear in the grassland.
[The thod of combination is simple but requires prior preparation.]
Forsyx once again shook his head—this one was also very rudintary.
While the first three evolution thods were simpler, the last two required lab operations and individual creature modifications.
They were the most expensive of all, but offered the most absurd kind of evolution. Especially the last one.
