Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 367 Hammond's Innovation Lab

Cheng Tian finally stopped being human. This time, the reloaded template changed from referring to a single person to a building, or rather, an entire work department.

Although the Azure Star Katana Warrior template was not bad and even came with the ability to steal eggs, it was difficult to achieve the goal that Cheng Tian originally intended to accomplish. Therefore, he used the Styx River Water to wash away the Katana Warrior template before entering the dungeon.

After reloading, Cheng Tian turned into a humanoid laboratory.

Just by glancing at it, you can tell that this "Hadmond's Innovation Lab" is of no help to personal combat power, but it is the first purely logistical support template in Cheng Tian's career as a chosen player.

Jurassic World: Evolution is a simulation management game based on the movie "Jurassic World". Players can build dinosaur-themed parks on several isolated islands, send employees to dig up dinosaur fossils and collect genes from all over the world, hatch and recreate dinosaurs using special technology, attract tourists to the park, sell food to tourists, and then feed the tourists to the dinosaurs...

It's basically the same kind of thing as Tropico, Planet Coaster, and Planet Zoo, but the gameplay will be completely different depending on the player.

Some players will seriously design the layout of buildings and the distribution of dinosaurs, striving to provide visitors with a better park experience.

Some players treat tourists like freebies or even resources, for example, by offering free drinks but charging $100 for each toilet visit, or by directing tourist access to the habitat of carnivorous dinosaurs to save on feed costs.

Some players are engrossed in researching dinosaur gene modification, building their own arenas, and letting dinosaurs with mixed genes fight one-on-one or in groups, ultimately selecting the strongest gene.

Cheng Tian is actually a relatively conscientious player; he wouldn't do something as magical as connecting sewage pipes to residential areas to reduce the total population by increasing the incidence of disease.

"What about that Mediterranean doctor, Fessenden? Don't they want your stuff anymore?"

With his quick thinking, Cheng Tian immediately realized that his loading template had been integrated into the current worldview in the form of faction loading.

In other words, his "Hadmond's Innovation Lab" directly continues the original situation, which is a third force that does not belong to any party, and he himself does not need to deliberately join the ranks of any force.

The bald killer is not the final boss in the original work. He is Dr. Fessenden's personal henchman. Strictly speaking, the two are in a cooperative relationship. So, if the killer's remains can be sold to the Fessenden Research Institute, they can also be sold to his own Hammond Laboratory.

"Hey! Don't mention it!"

Whether it was because this bald guy was really too straightforward, or because he had a lot to say but nowhere to say it, Cheng Tian had only just started talking when this guy actually began to pour out his grievances to Cheng Tian over the phone.

"You have no idea! Ever since that old bastard released the dinosaur gene mutation report in his own name, research institutes and dinosaur hunting have become legitimate businesses, and he himself has become the industry leader."

That damn research institute requires pure technical support, making it incredibly difficult to get into. There are very few in the world that can rival the Fessenden Institute... But dragon hunting is easy to get into! All you need is a gun, men, and guts!

Good heavens! My competitors have suddenly become so much more powerful! I can still suppress this small team, but I dare not suppress this "All-Out Dragon Hunting" group; I'm afraid they'll incite public outrage and kill me...

With so many newcomers to the business, the price of dinosaurs has been driven down. What used to be indiscriminate buying has now turned into selective buying; they don't treat me, their long-time customer, with any respect!

Wow~ This resentment! It's almost materialized through the virtual receiver! Cheng Tian just listened quietly to the rambling on the other end, but didn't take everything in stride.

After all, Cheng Tian didn't really know who this butcher was, and he wasn't sure whether his words were feigned or intentional. However, the message he conveyed was clear: the acquisition price from the Fessenden Institute was too low, and he wanted to try his luck at Cheng Tian's Hammond Laboratory.

Compared to the industry leader Fessenden Institute, most other laboratories are more like blindly jumping into the industry after it's been hyped up, or simply trying to fool people. Therefore, they keep the purchase price of live dinosaurs and their carcasses very low, mainly to make a living off Fessenden's leftovers and try to find bargains.

To most people, the relatively unknown Hammond Labs was no different. However, having had considerable contact with Cheng Tian and witnessed some of the most dramatic events, Bald Butcher made a decisive phone call when he learned that the lab's investor and sole shareholder was "Orange."

"I don't care what kind of laboratory you are, as long as the price is reasonable, I'll sell it to you."

The bald butcher, having vented his frustrations, was clearly quite dissatisfied with the old man with the Mediterranean hair.

“Okay, I’m also in the development stage and do need materials. I’ll pay 30% more than the market price, but I need to confirm the type and quality of the dragon corpse materials you have first.”

"No problem, I have that much professional ethics. After all, I was one of the earliest people in this industry, my reputation is guaranteed, I definitely wouldn't try to fool you with scraps from a dinosaur. If it weren't for that old Deng really refusing to give me face and driving the price down like crazy—"

The bald butcher, who had been muttering to himself, hung up the phone.

At the same time, Cheng Tian also received a delivery notification from Bald Butcher's side.

You have received a list of dinosaur carcass materials from the story NPC "Bald Butcher". You can choose the materials you need according to your requirements and purchase them by consuming Chosen Coins.

After you make your selection, the corresponding materials will be delivered 1 hour later.

Dinosaur carcass materials will be automatically converted into genes in the 'Genetic Collection Bank,' which you can use at any time with the 'Ancient Creature Hatching' skill.

Cheng Tian opened the Bald Butcher's resource list and found that the number of carnivorous dinosaurs had increased significantly. In addition to the still considerable number of herbivorous dinosaurs such as Stegosaurus, Triceratops, and Pachycephalosaurus, there were also materials of Velociraptor, Deinonychus, and Allosaurus. Among them, there were even some individuals with gene fragments such as clover and diamond.

It's unclear whether his strength has increased to the point where he can hunt genetically mutated carnivorous dinosaurs, or whether he's been drawn into the industry and forced to hunt even rarer, more valuable, and more expensive carnivorous dinosaurs.

The price for recycling materials ranges from tens to hundreds of coins, which indirectly proves that the purchasing power of the Chosen Coins in this instance is very strong.

Among the recovered dinosaur carcasses, valued at thousands of dollars, was precisely one of the ancient biological genomes that Cheng Tian most needed—

Fragments of the mutated Thunder Dragon corpse of the Red Heart!
