Star Civilization: I loaded the MOD

Chapter 84: Deception, then deception

After the host's warm-up opening remarks in the immersive video, the screen suddenly transformed into a vast grassland after the rain.

The sky shines with the light of two stars.

The majestic buildings reaching into the sky in the distance, the unique interlaced square buildings in the wilderness, every visible detail of the grassland, and the rough civilized style.

Obviously, the video was not shot in Blue Star. It was a live video recorded by players in the game.

In a trance, the camera suddenly zooms in on a building that functions as a ranch on the grassland, and a majestic and domineering upright lion-like species comes into view.

This is the owner of this alien planet - the Astra Lion.

Unlike the Blue Star Terrifying Upright Omnivores who mainly focus on farming, most of the lion people's diet is meat, and their food sources rely heavily on grazing.

Their tall size and huge population of billions have had a considerable impact on humankind’s existing ecological theories.

In relevant sociological theories, there is a loss in the flow of energy in the ecosystem. The energy from solar radiation is photosynthesized by plants and enters the planet's ecosystem. The energy is transformed and consumed layer by layer by organisms from the bottom of the food chain.

Theoretically, the energy requirements of the lion man at the top of the food chain will be greater than the stellar radiation energy captured by the plants.

The energy of the planet's ecosystem cannot make ends meet, and it is impossible to develop such a prosperous civilization.

But the lion man is obviously not like this.

Their ecological environment has evolved a unique "energy-absorbing crystal". This crystallized organism adds a class to nature out of thin air in addition to producers, consumers and decomposers - energy storage.

The energy flow loss of the ecosystem is all sent to hell by the "energy storage".

The special energy storage silicon-based life form really amazed the audience and continued to express their emotions through the barrage.

After introducing this rare life, the host's voice-over combined with the picture continued to show the audience the race, life, traditions, and folk customs of the alien civilization...

Of course, close-ups of players are also indispensable.

The body shapes of the energy bodies incarnated by civilization have been shaped by players in all kinds of weird ways. Most of them are dressed up in flashy exotic styles, and some simply don't wear clothes or behave like humans, with a photogenic appearance.

As the video plays, dozens of videos play segment by segment.

A wide variety of alien creatures appear one after another in the long and strange music.

Although the probability of starting Federation Origin is not high, if you divide it among 100 million players, you can still find hundreds of people and nearly a hundred kinds of alien creatures, which is a feast for the eyes.

There are all kinds of strange humanoid forms, fungus mushrooms that can divide by mitosis, the most common mammals, aquatic intelligent species on the ocean planet, tree people with some animal characteristics, and reptile lizards that live underground.

Among them, the most popular ones are the humanoid creatures that resemble the elves in the story.

Pointed ears, delicate appearance, and smooth skin are rare and in line with human aesthetics.

Most of the alien races are average-looking in the eyes of Blue Star people, and their aesthetics are hard to describe: look at their hair, cuticles, wing patterns...

That's all pretty normal.

The most bizarre race, its beauty is the suckers on its tentacles, and its beauty is the wrinkles on its head...

"Those Lalaye seafoods make me want to vomit every time I look at them."

After watching the video, Mysterious Meow crossed his arms and shivered.

A short section in the second half of the video was shot in the deep sea. The long tentacles have densely packed suckers. Although the player repeatedly emphasized that these "octopuses" are very friendly and they are smiling.

But the smile of a mollusk looks... scary to humans.

"The slippery molluscs are okay. I dare say the show's production team has cut out many disgusting races, and those disgusting arthropods only flashed once in the screen."

Speechless stall stalls for Ke style food.

Most of the aesthetics in the entire content are acceptable to everyone, and many ethnic groups with extremely poor looks are only mentioned by the host.

"Speaking of which, when it comes to race and appearance..." Meng pursed her lips and suddenly thought of the pictures Gu Du had posted in the chat group.

"Boss Gudu's race is still beautiful. Boss, how did you do it?"

"Yes, yes, even though I didn't even use beauty treatments, my skin is even whiter and softer than after I put on makeup, like a porcelain doll."

The mysterious cat also came over and pouted, looking at him with envy.

Girls always pay attention to appearance, and whether they have beautiful makeup or not can be seen at a glance.

If their ruler looks beautiful, some female players will even dress them up and post screenshots on the forum.

The good "Stars" turned into "Warm Stars" in seconds.

"Well...it's actually not bad."

Wang Hao pondered for a moment, becoming humble on the outside, but a faint feeling of happiness welled up in his heart.

After all, it was his daughter who was praised for her beauty, and as an old father, he was very happy!

The Gu Duren girl's bare makeup is even more extreme than makeup + facial beauty.

There are less two-dimensional features, more three-dimensional charm, a fantasy style, a proper ideal product, everything is developing towards perfection.

But if possible, he actually wants others to praise his daughters' talents rather than their looks.

Just like their old father.

"Do you know the origin of [genetic engineering]?"

When asked about race, Gu Du directly said what he had thought about in the past.

The difference in appearance between the Blue Star players who are both human beings is so big that they can all revert to their ancestors and have their tails. The Gudu people just look prettier, and the reason is pretty good.

"Ah, I know this. I've seen it in [The Encyclopedia of Origins]."

The little transparent dream in the group finally encountered something he understood, and quickly raised his hand to answer. "Genetic engineering, as the name suggests, means that the race has been genetically engineered!"

Ma Dongmei next to her nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Listening to your words is better than just one word."

"...Xiu'er, put down your hands and sit down."

Ke Xicai was speechless and sweating profusely. He carefully considered his tone but did not make fun of this honest girl.

If a mysterious cat came out to embarrass someone, he would definitely laugh at it first regardless. Besides, Meng had at least seen this origin this time, and he didn't even have any relevant impression of the origin of [genetic engineering].

"Um...I'm sorry!"

Meng suddenly recalled what he had said. After the excitement passed, his face turned red and he apologized hastily.

Embarrassed, she hid in the corner of the sofa and quieted down. She covered her face and lay down behind the mysterious cat. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to crawl into the ground.

The mysterious cat next to her sighed softly, patted her on the back, and took over the topic.

"Let me tell you, there are tens of thousands of origins in [The Encyclopedia of Origins], and it is impossible for anyone to have seen them all. The origins of genetic engineering are also a large category. Generally speaking, they are very similar to what dreams say. Races have been genetically modified.

"

"In the hands of different players, the degree of genetic modification of genetic engineering, the effect of empire correction, and the historical background may be different. The specific origin must be analyzed in detail.

In addition to the standard [genetic engineering] origin, the genetic origins of other players are also tacitly classified as derivative origins of genetic engineering by the players.

It’s just that there doesn’t seem to be any description of genetic modification in the origin of Boss Gudu [Isolated Paradise]…”

"There is no relevant description."

Wang Hao nodded after listening, seemingly agreeing with what she said.

"But the lack of description does not mean that there is no trace of genetic modification."
