Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 168 Admit it, Saoniao Mini is the most awesome core development skill!
The appearance of this hidden reward cave from "Master Takahashi's MapleStory 3" probably means that the blueprint fragments have eroded the current copy more deeply.

But this has nothing to do with Cheng Tian. He just needs to consider which dragon egg to choose.

It is estimated that many MapleStory players in those days triggered this reward link either voluntarily or by luck. You only need to break the rock wall in certain specific situations to directly open the hidden cave. You can find it by just walking around and spraying in the linear process.

The difficult part is actually choosing one of the three options for the dragon egg.

Obviously, the most valuable rewards are the "Dinosaur Mount" and "Bonus Life".

The former needs no further explanation, while the latter is similar to the "life-boosting mushroom" in "Super Mario Bros.", which can resurrect the holder after death.

As for fruits and barbecue, they are most likely just recovery items. With the above two items as examples, their value has dropped sharply.

Cheng, who usually chooses the longest option among three short and one long, the shortest option among three long and one short, and the left option for men and the right option for women, and who rarely wastes time on multiple-choice questions, was very hesitant when faced with the choice of dragon egg.

Not only did he open the panel to check something, he also wrote and drew on the ground with a golden feather arrow in his hand and began to record Arabic numerals.

The Purple Dragon Elder was a little confused about this and didn't know what the human being who was trying to carve on the ground was doing.

"Ugh……"

Cheng Tianyi sighed and shook his head. Then he used the hydraulic base of the drill truck to raise himself to the same level as the base of the reward dragon egg, and chose the leftmost one among the three dragon eggs.

"you sure?"

The Purple Dragon Elder's body trembled slightly, and after a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, he spoke to Cheng Tian.

"That's it."

Cheng Tian answered decisively.

The next second, the dragon egg in Cheng Tian's hand cracked open, revealing a small dragon egg with a "plum blossom" pattern printed on it.

Dinosaur mount, original pterosaur egg (flying dragon/plum blossom).

The purple dragon elder raised his hand, and the other two dragon eggs that were not chosen by Cheng Tian cracked on the spot, revealing two recovery items, "banana" and "barbecue", and then slowly disappeared like a picture fading away.

"How did you make sure that the egg you chose was the most valuable?"

The purple dragon elder was very curious. As the guardian of the dragon egg, he had a feeling that Cheng Tian did not make the choice based on intuition, but determined the location of the dragon egg based on something.

"I wasn't 100% sure just now, but now that you've revealed what's inside those two eggs, I know my reasoning was correct."

As Cheng Tian spoke, he pointed to the two Arabic numerals he had carved on the ground.

One is 4 and the other is 7.

It is estimated that there are still many real players who don’t know this. Just like many 8-bit games back then, the choice of three options for the dragon egg in Tsuchiya in MapleStory 3 is not truly random, but pseudo-random. The basis for the pseudo-random judgment is actually related to the score held by the players at that time.

To sum it up simply, the "thousands digit" and "hundreds digit" in the player's score will directly determine the contents of the three dragon eggs - when the thousands digit is 1, 4, or 7, the three dragon eggs will have a dinosaur mount on the left, fruit in the middle, and barbecue on the right.

When the thousandth place number is 2, 5, or 8, there is a bonus life*3 on the left, a dinosaur in the middle, and fruit on the right.

当千位的数字是0、3、6、9的时候，左侧是水果、中间是奖励命*1、右侧是恐龙坐骑。

Extending from this, the hundreds digit of the player's score will directly determine the type of dinosaur mount.

当百位的数字是0、5的时候，恐龙坐骑必是蓝龙/冰龙/红桃；1、6的时候对应则是红龙/火龙/红桃；2、7的时候对应翼龙/飞龙/梅花；3、8的时候对应蛇颈龙/水龙/方片；4、9的时候对应三角龙/沙龙/五角星。

Although Cheng Tian has no points, he has an e-wallet. The thousands digit of the chosen coins he currently holds is "4" and the hundreds digit is "7".

This means that when Cheng Tian entered the cave, the contents of the three reward dragon eggs had already been fixed as "original pterosaur eggs", "fruits" and "barbecues", arranged in the order from left to right in the direction of Cheng Tian.

The reason why Cheng Tian stayed there for a while was mainly because he wanted to try whether he could voluntarily give up some of the chosen coins and manually adjust the thousands and hundreds digits of his e-wallet. He mainly wanted to try to adjust the thousands digits to "2, 5, 8", so that if he chose the left side, he would be rewarded with life*3.

He was more curious about the difference between this form of bonus life and the bonus life mushroom in Super Mario.

It’s a pity that Cheng Tian’s electronic wallet cannot actively distribute coins, and the moment he entered Miaomiao’s house, the contents of the dragon egg had already been generated according to the numbers in his wallet.

Of course, Cheng Tian was not certain that his e-wallet could serve as a substitute for in-game scores from the outset. He was just trying it out, so he realized that his judgment was correct only after confirming the contents of the three dragon eggs. In a sense, the player's e-wallet is also a reflection of the game score.

However, Cheng Tian’s answer could not satisfy the elder purple dragon. Being able to speak and communicate did not mean that a “highly intelligent” dragon beast like it could fully understand the Arabic numerals created by humans, and it was even more impossible for it to know that they were created by the superposition of the numbers 0 and 1.

Cheng Tian picked up the pterosaur egg and opened the item panel.

Primal Pterosaur Egg (Mutation): Purple Rare/Lv-, Mount Summon, Combat Mount. Requires 21 Agility or 15 Charisma.

The most primitive pterosaur egg from "MapleStory 3" has the ability to glide on the wind and throw rocks, but because it is integrated with the world view of "Dino Crisis", the primitive pterosaur can be integrated with other adapted dinosaur genes without genetic collapse.

The Primal Pterosaur hatched from dragon eggs is a combat mount that can assist in combat; the Primal Pterosaur's monster template is the "Boss Template"; the Primal Pterosaur's summoning and recycling rules are the same as those for vehicles and reins.

The hatched primitive pterosaur becomes a servant unit and can be resurrected after death by completing tasks or paying a resurrection fee.

You can feed other dinosaur materials into the dragon egg before it hatches to perform early fusion and alienation; you can also feed it other dinosaur materials after it hatches to perform acquired alienation; you can only provide one type of dinosaur material; the degree of alienation fusion in advance is higher than that of acquired feeding alienation.

Hatching dragon eggs requires a suitable nest and temperature, or carrying them yourself and walking a certain number of steps.

The space will provide you with an estimate of the feeding cost after the original pterosaur is officially hatched.

[Additional comment: It reminds me of the days of gaining reputation for the Netherwing Drake mount.]

However, Cheng's strange behavior has not ended yet.

Cheng Tian first placed the original pterosaur egg on the seat of his drill car, and then he jumped back to the 2-meter-high base of the dragon nest where the egg was placed and dug and dug. Then, in the astonished eyes of the purple dragon elder, whose eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, he dug out another white dragon egg out of thin air.

When the white dragon egg cracked, it revealed an original pterosaur egg with a plum blossom mark, exactly the same as the one Cheng Tian had just stuffed into the chariot!
