CHAPTER 60: CHAPTER 57 THEY ARE SO SELF-AWARE

Handsome Nanren: "Everyone, calm down. So, the conclusion is out. The gameplay of this game is as follows: we are a chive plant, we work hard to cultivate, gain energy, and then emit energy to communicate, to change the course of the world’s plot!"

He paused, "According to my guess, the first plot choice has already appeared!"

"Huh?"

"Where?"

"I didn’t see any hint at all."

Everyone marveled at this expert’s keen observation, able to see this step in the second phase update, actual usage of the level aside, but to see the first choice?

Handsome Nanren: "What hint? This game is simply a highly realistic historical simulation, hardcore world restoration! You have to learn to observe carefully, look, I have already recorded a video."

Video (1:21)

Everyone clicked on the video.

All they saw was a man, the one claimed to be the strongest Life Transformation Mage, standing in front of the Tree of Life, researching in the presence of countless Immortal Herbs, muttering to himself:

"What we transform are ordinary creatures, so we don’t need too much energy, our energy is enough."

"But to transform an extraordinary creature that naturally possesses ’energy’, a Magic Beast, is very difficult."

"The reason isn’t that the technology isn’t up to par, it’s that ’energy’ is too scarce. If these Immortal Herbs could emit a large amount of energy, it would make it easier for us to transform Magic Beasts."

"Unfortunately, no matter how much I research these herbs, dissecting them, I can’t come to any good conclusions."

"I can’t do dangerous experiments on them in large amounts, after all, each plant is a treasure to our race, the lifeline of our heritage."

...

Click.

The screen went dark.

By this point, everyone understood the first choice had appeared.

It could specifically be described as two choices:

1. Pretend not to know.

2. Have these Immortal Herbs collectively emit energy, recognize the other race’s civilization, and allow them to transform the Magic Beast!

..

These are the options for changing the plot.

Although the second option clearly requires a certain cultivation foundation to "open the microphone" and emit energy.

However, just when everyone thought this was the option, that review expert spoke again: "You all are thinking too simply; we have another choice."

"What choice?"

"We can sing like when Shiguang the Emperor died, find a time period, collectively open the microphone, speak, pretend to be a god descending, and try to specify a Magic Beast for them to transform..."

Everyone was shocked, and the entire forum exploded.

You’re as bold as ever!

Even such shameless operations exist.

But thinking carefully, it seems a bit exciting, if they can change the historical plot of the story, it would be more fun.

But there were still objections: "What if the other party doesn’t accept it?"

Handsome Nanren: "If this game is indeed high in freedom and truly logical, the other party will surely accept our ’manifestation’. If they attempt to double-cross, bringing other animals for transformation, we will remain silent, only opening the microphone if they bring the designated experimental subject for transformation, rejecting any others."

Everyone agreed, it made logical sense.

And then they began formally discussing the feasibility.

"We need to research how long we, these level-one Immortal Herbs, can open the microphone, one second? Ten seconds? Twenty seconds? Once we’ve emitted all our energy, we’ll be weak for a long time and it will take a long period to recover."

"Yeah, we painstakingly accumulate energy, for just a moment of enjoyment, whether it’s ten or twenty seconds."

"You disgusting men up there, making it all sleazy. Do you think us female players are fake? Are you courting death?! (angry)"

"Ahem ahem, we need to research the talking duration, the communication length when manifesting, trying to be as concise and clear as possible."

"Wait, which type of animal are we choosing to receive the divine favor of us mighty Immortal Herbs?"

"Personally, I think it’s cats, turning into magical cats, super cute."

"I think we should choose dogs, all of us speaking together, providing them energy, allowing them to create the first genetic Magic Beast of the Witch Era, a super Siberian Husky!"

"Fish, I think it’s fish. I want to see mermaids!"

"Birds, I want to see angels."

"Speaking of which, we are randomly selecting an animal, does the game production team really have that much freedom to cooperate with us to progress in this direction, create the storyline?"

"No idea, if they really can, that would be so interesting, it would be the perfect interaction between players and the game production team, we provide choices and they develop corresponding game plots!"

...

During everyone’s discussion, they established a game strategy plan, "Elves, Please Open Mic to Communicate!"

"Everyone hurry up and cultivate, be a resilient Immortal Herb, Immortal Herbs can’t just wither away in a few seconds!"

"Got it!"

"Brothers, none of us can lag behind, for the world!"

"For the glory of the Elf Race!~~"

...

Zhu Zhengwei was completely dumbfounded.

You all are a bit outrageous...

But Zhu Zhengwei rested his chin on his hand, pondering for a while, thinking this suggestion is quite good.

Because this suggestion is actually them sacrificing themselves...??

They are striving to talk to the natives for a few seconds by cultivating and emitting large amounts of Spiritual Qi, nourishing other creatures, benefiting humanity in the world, what a level of self-sacrifice is this?

"I underestimated these chives’ awareness; they are incredibly genius proficient miners, figuring out how to exploit themselves."

Zhu Zhengwei felt gratified in his heart, "I was thinking about how to encourage them to cultivate diligently, becoming more advanced miners to dig greater resources for me, earning more energy, enriching the Spiritual Qi resources of the world, and they found the goal on their own."

"If they keep cultivating like this, those elves will probably be engulfed by the Spiritual Qi they emit through manic cultivation, filling the entire island, becoming a Sacred Land for Elves with dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi."

"Moreover, if they continue to work so hard, madly mining and releasing energy, the Spiritual Qi of the whole world will revive, and dense Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is just around the corner!"

Moved.

With tears.

They finally understood my kindness towards them, understanding how to repay me.

Zhu Zhengwei suddenly found the players to be such adorable people.

Just to influence a small direction in the world, dialoguing with the natives, changing a choice for the Elf Race’s Magic Beast, they are willing to exhaust their efforts and keep mining tirelessly.
