Xu Zhi didnt think it would turn out like this.
He knew right from the start that it was going to be a very hardcore ga that required specialized knowledge. Xu Zhi wouldnt have sought help from others otherwise.
By all rights, it should have been a very niche ga. Who knew there would be people who would study such a difficult subject as evolutionary theory just to play a ga.
Perhaps, theres a group of hardcore gars in this world who actually like being "abused".
And open world sandbox gas like Minecraft have always been popular.
Below the long and detailed review, comnts quickly piled up. In a short period of ti, there were already thousands of replies.
Dancing Basketball Player: Question! Is it really that amazing? He went into such detail, I'm almost convinced.
Crazy African: Its too hardcore, starting as a spore. Evolution requires biological knowledge. Does this an you actually have to go and study evolutionary theory?
Demanding Little Beauty: Wow! Sounds like even a bad student is eager to play. The possibilities are endless!
Super Tech Geek: I feel like the thread starter has yet to get to the at of the ga; take that giant he was talking about for instance, I really want to know more After all, he has only evolved defective species that couldn't survive long.
Cerebral Bluff: Ive started reading the Origin of Species! Soon, Ill have knowledge of evolutionary theory comparable to a biology professor in college! Now I just need a spore to practice on, and test my theories. Make a beta tester! Urgently waiting online!
..
So were eager, so begged for an account, others expressed their desire to play. But naturally, most people said that this was all a giant hoax, and that the hundred players were all acting. They mocked the thread starter and asked how long he would keep up his act.
However, they quickly had to eat their words.
Akinas Speedster had started live streaming videos recorded through his VR Glasses.
A deep blue ocean spread out before them. It looked completely realistic, like watching an epic movie set on a vast and beautiful ocean.
"Friends, I've just evolved my eyes, this step is already a breeze. Next, I'm going to start preying on algae creatures and turn into a carnivore, following the evolutionary path of the arthropods of Earths Cambrian period."
At that mont, a fierce looking beetle appeared.
"Holy shit, what is that? It looks like an ancient trilobite, hurry up and eat him!"
"Dont be ridiculous. Run! He's going to eat you, turn you into food! Run. Be patient as you grow and evolve. Once youve gotten stronger and evolved into a carnivore, co back and eat him up!"
..
The thread was extrely active for a while.
Xu Zhi looked on, and felt that this enthusiasm was not bad. He left them to their discussion.
As for the petition with more than ten thousand signatures that demanded he open up more beta tester slots?
"None of my business. I dont want your money after all, so I dont really give a shit."
Xu Zhi laughed, and paid them no more attention.
It was only a side project in the end, though its popularity was unexpected.
Make all the noise you want, I just dont need that many people. Its not like I made this ga for the sake of your entertainnt.
Unless there was an unexpected surprise, he planned to keep up this "beta test" forever, and only allow a hundred people to enter the sandbox.
Xu Zhi looked on for a while as the popularity of Spore Evolution skyrocketed, then focused his attention on the large sandbox. This was his main project.
Among the Surians of the previous era, there technically had been only three super beings, Gilgash and the other two kings. Xu Zhi wanted the next civilization to develop a system that could cultivate supernatural powers.
It would probably be best for them to develop a magic civilization. Previously, Gilgash had commissioned the courts black mage to create an elixir of longevity to extend his life.
That could be considered the precursor of magic.
Xu Zhi hoped that a magic civilization would erge, along with a great mage who could research magic, dicine, and alchemy, and create a dicine that would cure his terminal cancer.
In order for that to happen, the sandbox needed to have many mysterious and deadly supernatural species to serve as reference for the mages to study.
Xu Zhi looked towards the muddy swampland in the large sandbox.
"A day has passed. The eyeball monster, the Evil Eye, has multiplied in great quantities and even evolved special variants?" Xu Zhi was delighted. Evolving in such a bizarre direction has indeed given it great potential.
In the past hundred years, thanks to having no natural enemies in their newly created environnt, this weak species had multiplied and were everywhere.
But soon, due to over breeding, competition for food beca fierce, and they turned on one another.
They competed amongst themselves for food, and began to kill each other within the black swamp. They were extrely vicious and even started feeding on one another.
As ti passed, the Evil Eyes grew more and more savage.
A unique Evil Eye appeared.
It had a strange ntal power, and all the creatures it gazed upon would be chard by it and obediently beco its food.
This first-ever supernatural species of Evil Eye quickly rose to the top of the food chain and dominated the swamps ecosystem. Since it had no natural enemies, it quickly multiplied, and preyed on other Evil Eyes.
It was survival of the fittest. The strong survived, the weak perished..
The ordinary eyeball monsters were massacred, and the entire swamp beca filled with the ever-multiplying offspring of the Evil Eye that could charm others. The ordinary Evil Eyes went extinct and beca a thing of the past.
"An anarchic ntal power?"
Xu Zhi was surprised. "It really has potential. Although it doesn't have intelligence, its able to entice other creatures into becoming its food, like the Venus flytrap."
After the fourth era, the first supernatural species had finally been born.
Xu Zhi had a thought, and looked at the large sandbox. Surprisingly, there was another major developnt. A group of Bugapes had started to wade into the depths of the swamp.
