I am Jinshan Youxia

Agumon turned and ran away, while Seadramon stared at Poopmon and opened its mouth.

Zhang Chengyi degenerated and evolved again, transforming from a dung beast into a biqu beast, flapping its wings and flying high into the sky.

Seeing the annoying strange Digimon leave, Seadramon flicked its tail and used its special attack—throwing Poopmon into the lake—to sweep it back to the ground with water currents.

The Digimon's disgust and disdain for the Poopmon is heartfelt.

It's not that humans are disgusted by poop, but rather that Poopmon, as a collection of data residue, is naturally disliked by other Digimon.

Seeing the Digimon soaring in the distance while flying in the air, Zhang Chengyi immediately descended and landed in the Chaotic Forest.

The sky above File Island is the territory of Champion-level Digimon. If a Rookie-level Biyomon flies into the sky, it will easily be targeted as prey by a brainless Champion-level Digimon.

[This way, all the data from the Confused Forest and Dragon Eye Lake will be collected. Let's find a way to evolve a Champion-level Digimon and then go to other areas to collect data.]

Zhang Chengyi immediately transformed into Koromon and shrunk into the grass upon landing. Koromon and Bekomon are the most common baby Digimon in the Confused Forest. Relatively speaking, few Digimon would pay attention to an ordinary baby Digimon, especially in an area like the Confused Forest where baby Digimon frequently appear.

Incidentally, Biyomon often travel in groups, ranging from a few to hundreds of them. The Biyomon he bullied before was a babysitter for a group of Biyomon.

A few days ago, they met again by chance. Biyomon attacked him in an attempt to get revenge, but was defeated and knocked down. A large group of Biyomon shouted about friendship and bonds and spat at him like crazy (referring to petal-shaped bubbles).

It can only be said that they bully him because he doesn't like to humiliate little kids.

Zhang Chengyi shifted his body, letting his limp form sink into the grass, and lay sprawled out, gazing at the sky as he browsed through his database.

The most common Digimon in the Misty Forest are in the Rookie stage. The only Champion-level Digimon data he has saved are for Kusabimon and Seadramon. However, there is a lot of data that can be obtained from Champion-level Digimon, unlike the Rookie stage which only has three types. For example, Seadramon has about five different data sets.

That's why he challenged the Seadramon several times until the data he obtained started to repeat itself.

Considering data integrity, his only evolutionary target can be Seadramon.

Chapter 280 Sea Dragon Beast!

"The shipment has been completed!"

A flash of silver light indicates that information is being read by the panel.

Damn it, you platinum poop beast.

Zhang Chengyi decisively reverted to his Koromon form. Since he had stripped all the data off Seadramon, he had been wandering around the Confused Forest for more than half a month, frantically combining various data every day, leaving a deep impression on the Digimon in the Confused Forest.

A Koromon that can mutate into a poop monster at any time is someone that both Seadramon and StagBugmon remember.

It can be said that it terrifies countless Digimon, who have no courage to interact with poop.

However, he did not come away empty-handed.

First, through continuous experimentation, he discovered the secrets of Rookie-type Digimon. For example, Palmon, which evolves from Seedmon, is actually derived from the base data of Koromon plus the data gained from gnawing on vines. Similarly, the data on Agumon comes from reptiles, although he doesn't understand why Agumon, which looks like a small dinosaur, is a reptile-type Digimon.

Strangely, although Gabumon is a reptile-type Digimon like Agumon, there are subtle differences in its data composition.

They have similar origins and require similar basic data, yet they evolve into completely different Digimon.

If he had to explain it, Zhang Chengyi felt that it seemed to be related to the 'heart'.

Agumon are all brave, while Gabumon is the opposite, timid and cowardly.

It has such a hardcore underlying logic of data, yet it exhibits strange idealistic characteristics when it comes to something as important as evolution. Anyway, it has nothing to do with it.

After figuring this out, he realized that he could never evolve an unknown Digimon because he was a modder who controlled data that had no 'heart' at all; his evolutions were all based on data from other Digimon.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Chengyi understood the logic of Digimon evolution.

If a Digimon doesn't evolve, its data carrying capacity has a limit. Once it modifies beyond that limit, it will turn into a poop-mon due to data overload and data packet corruption.

Normally, if the data packet is corrupted, it should be sent away, disappear, and become part of the Apocalypse Beast, instead of directly becoming a garbage data dung beast. However, due to his modifier nature, even if problems occur during the evolution process, the data will not be corrupted or disappear, but will only become garbage data dung.

That's why he's particularly prone to turning into a poop beast.

Under normal circumstances, no Digimon will exceed its carrying capacity and become a poopmon before accumulating enough data for evolution, because other data is too easy to obtain, while improving its own data is more difficult for normal Digimon.

Along this path, he quickly figured out how to avoid easily turning into a dung beast.

It's very simple: keep your own data at a high level before reaching your limit, and then slowly improve one or more other data points, and you can evolve smoothly.

He pieced together many unfamiliar Rookie-level Digimon by combining all sorts of random data, including various types.

For example, if you remove the base data of Agarodon, there are only five data points. After repeated combinations, it uses one of these data points to evolve into Betamon.

He had never seen a Rookie-level Digimon that was relatively easy to evolve into Seadramon. Fortunately, the body information after transformation would be automatically obtained. Digimon do not need to familiarize themselves with their bodies after evolution; they can immediately exert their normal power upon obtaining new data.

Then, by synchronizing the data from Seadramon and boosting the data from Agumon, it finally became... well...

Platinum Poop Beast.

Why did it fail?

Zhang Chengyi was full of question marks. He tried again several times, refusing to believe it. In the dazzling light, he switched back and forth between the forms of Koromon, Poopmon, and Platinum Poopmon.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" After a while, he transformed into Agumon and chased away the Shimon that had been attracted by his Poopmon form, before transforming back into Koromon to think seriously.

Could it be a problem with leapfrog evolution?

So-called leapfrog evolution means that evolution does not follow the general pattern of infancy-growth-maturity, but rather leapfrogs.

He speculated that he would evolve into a Betamon.

The data has changed!

Zhang Chengyi discovered a blind spot: the data from the Seadramon that had transformed him into Betamon had changed, turning him into Betamon. Immediately afterward, he increased his own data volume and simultaneously and slowly increased the other data he had obtained from the Seadramon.

Soon, all the data changed, and after a flash of intense light, a living aquatic sea dragon appeared on the land.

The discomfort was intense, but it couldn't hide the joy on his face.

[I understand. Directly using the data from Seadramon won't work because I can't evolve into the Seadramon from Dragon Eye Lake. All Digimon data is different, even for the same type of Digimon, there are subtle differences.]

That's why they can recognize each other; they won't mistake one for the other even if they look exactly alike.

The data obtained through interaction belongs to the other party and can be used during evolution to catalyze changes in one's own data, but it cannot be used in a simple and crude way to try to transform into another Digimon...

Similar but not the same.

Zhang Chengyi resisted the urge to test the waters with an ice arrow and transformed back into the Rolling Ball Beast.

[My fellow sufferers from Longyan Lake, wait for me!]

-----------------

A few days later, by the river in the bewildering forest.

"I haven't seen that strange rolling ball beast for several days."

"Yes, could it have disappeared during the evolutionary process..."

"That's quite possible. It often turns into a dung beast and then regresses back to its original form."

A group of Bighorn beasts huddled together and whispered amongst themselves.

"No way!" Agumon couldn't help but jump out of the bushes. "It's a powerful Digimon that can evolve into Agumon!"

The Pikomon huddled together in fear, then one of them shouted, "It's another Agumon!"

They quickly stopped being afraid. Agumon is known for being friendly. To be precise, apart from mindless Digimon and some virus-type Digimon, you rarely encounter particularly bad ones among the Rookie Digimon.

Even the infamous Shimon isn't all that bad; compared to humans, he's actually quite kind and simple.

Biyomon, who was protecting the group of Biyomon, descended from the sky, flapping its wings to block its companions, and said calmly, "I saw that strange Koromon go to Dragon Eye Lake again a couple of days ago. It was probably killed by Seadramon."

Agumon stood there stunned, then its eyes filled with tears, and it ran silently toward Dragon Eye Lake.

Although its strange kind didn't like it much, it saved its life at Longyan Lake that day.

Its simple-minded Digimon mentality caused it to completely ignore the fact that it was the one who wanted to save people who was saved, and it was single-mindedly focused on seeing if Zhang Chengyi was really dead.

Chapter 281 Tyrannosaurus Rex

"If we fight a few more times, we should be able to get all the data on the giant whale beast."

Zhang Chengyi, in the form of a sea dragon, swam back to Longyan Lake through the narrow underwater passage, pondering to himself.

As the starting village in the anime, File Island actually has quite a few Digimon, but it's still too small. There isn't even a single Ultimate-level Digimon, so there's nowhere for him to copy.

Even the villainous boss is only a Champion-level Devimon; the Ultimate-level versions are only Andromon and Bearmon.

He could only stay in this place until he mastered the evolution of Andromon and Bearmon before he could leave, so he was actively collecting data on Whalemon in order to travel to the Sandba Continent, which was the server continent, in the future.

I definitely won't go now.

Even the chosen children haven't arrived yet, so who knows what's going on on the server continent? The Dark Masters have been fighting with the Four Holy Beasts, which is why they sent their minions to manage the Digital World. Myotismon, Etemon, and Devimon from File Island are all members of Piedmon's Nightmare Legion.

Until the arrival of the Chosen Children, the Dark Masters were busy sealing the Four Holy Beasts and were unable to spare the time, which gave the Chosen Children the opportunity to defeat Etemon and Myotismon along the way.

This "perfect match" is most likely a deliberate arrangement of the constancy of the digital world.

In fact, in the world view of the first part, even the Constancy, which is called the supreme being, is not very prestigious. The Dark Four Heavenly Kings not only discovered the Chosen Children and the Divine Plan, but also sent people to raid the Constancy's base while fighting the Four Holy Beasts, resulting in only Gennai surviving.

However, the Dark Masters' level isn't very impressive in the later Digital World setting. MetalSeadramon and Machinedramon were directly killed by WarGreymon, and Puppetmon was no match for WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon. Although Piedmon was indeed stronger than the two main characters' Ultimate-level Digimon, he was still defeated by being thrown into the Heaven's Gate by the Ultimate-level Angemon.

It's not that the Dark Masters are weak, but compared to the Four Holy Beasts and Homeostasis, which are powerful in terms of their design, the Dark Masters haven't shown the strength they should have. In the later Digimon manga, apart from Piedmon being decent, the other three are just ordinary Ultimate-level Digimon.

Of course, in the first part, the ultimate form was both rare and incredibly powerful.

Furthermore, the Digimon anime itself contains the concepts of time and parallel worlds, and various completely inconsistent settings can be easily linked to parallel universes, just like Marvel.

Getting back to the main point, since Zhang Chengyi had no idea what the situation was like on the server mainland, it would be better for him to stay on File Island and slowly collect data, wait for the chosen children to arrive, and then, while the Dark Four Kings were too busy, go to the server mainland to launch a heavy attack on their subordinates and collect data.

Then I can also get some assists from the chosen children and accumulate more data to evolve into the ultimate form.

What happens after it becomes the ultimate form?

Of course, we should go into reality.

"Splash!" Zhang Chengyi popped his head out of the water in Longyan Lake, shook off the water droplets on his faucet, and began to swim on his back with ease.

Seadramon's body is undeniably strong. Even without using its Absolute Zero ice arrows, it can hold its own against most of the Digimon in the sea. It's also very comfortable in the water; it hasn't transformed back into Koromon for several days now.

"Hey!"

A familiar Agumon stood by the lake and shouted, "Have you seen Koromon?!"

Verbal communication between data collections is more like essentially throwing out data; even if the text is the same, the meaning and reference are completely different.

Has this idiot completely forgotten that the Seadramon has no brain?
