Wasteland Development Diary

The Streamwalker said, "Normally, transforming a Seed lifeform follows our old process. First, we use the [Halo Well] to filter for suitable target lifeforms, then we use the [Halo Instrument] to transform them."

"Seed lifeforms and energy lifeforms are like ice and water; their configurations are different, but their essence is the same: different forms of energy. But ordinary material lifeforms are like sticky mud mixed with dirt, pebbles, weeds, bugs, and water."

"Transforming energy-based lifeforms is much easier than transforming complex matter."

Zhou Yi asked, "So, what steps are required?"

"You don't even need the Ring Flow Device; just make them converge."

Operationally, this means connecting the electric cat to the two Seed lifeforms on Zhou Yi's shoulders. In their natural state, they will influence each other and converge.

However, since Zhou Yi is the carrier for the Seed lifeforms, their forms are immutable, so the electric cat must transform into a Seed lifeform.

"This operation has only one small difficulty: the electric cat must be willing. But this is the basis for transforming any Seed lifeform."

Xiao Fu said, "I know you'll figure it out!"

Zhou Yi immediately summoned Pikachu.

The pet electric cat flew to his shoulder, crackling with electricity.

Pikachu quickly reported, "Chairman, I seem to have found a way to connect them."

The cat-headed spherical lightning gradually flattened into a dense arc of light attached to Zhou Yi's left shoulder. The arc of light continued to shrink, eventually penetrating his skin.

A silver tattoo of a pointy-eared cat head appeared on Zhou Yi's left shoulder.

Right next to the profile of Iron's face.

Zhou Yi closed his eyes.

Another memory core appeared in his consciousness space.

Pikachu, in its electric cat-head form, was squatting on its own black-and-white double helix.

Convergence successful!

Then came decompression.

Zhou Yi pushed the memory core, and Pikachu reappeared on his shoulder.

"Huh? I'm back to normal!"

"This is fun!"

"That state was wonderful; I feel like I understand myself better."

After repeated attempts, Zhou Yi quickly mastered switching Pikachu between Seed and energy forms.

He then connected Pikachu's memory core to the [Fire Hearth Disk].

Zhou Yi now fully understood the electric cat's abilities.

They have two abilities: [Electric Shock] and [Penetration]. Bai Suanni provided a numerical explanation for them.

The former is equivalent to the electric cat's built-in weapon.

...

[Electric Shock]

Damage: 200-500

Cooldown: 0.01

Range: 75

...

The latter is a special state.

...

[Penetration]: Consumes at least 1000 energy points to enter penetration mode, lasting 15 seconds. During this time, it possesses 10%-95% armor penetration and deals double damage to conductors such as water, metal, and biological bodies.

...

Among the electric cat's two abilities, Electric Shock is a high-frequency electrical attack.

Penetration is an overloaded combat stance, capable of consuming up to 9500 energy points and possessing 95% armor penetration.

The combination can deal considerable burst damage in a short time.

But even with the double damage effect, the maximum damage from this set of abilities is only 1.5 million points in 15 seconds, and the attack range is relatively short.

And this is the stat of A-grade electric cat Pikachu.

It is certainly a guaranteed kill against B-grade lifeforms, but against other A-grade lifeforms or war machines, this amount of damage is a bit weak and can hardly cause serious injury directly.

Zhou Yi now understood.

On the Spark Plains, a group of electric cats has a near-infinite supply of electricity, directly activating penetration mode around the clock, dealing true damage that ignores defense to anyone.

If anyone dares to fight back, they will become conductors due to their own increased temperature and pressure, and they will suffer double damage... it's indeed unbearable.

Electric cats are not very strong in single combat, but they become extremely terrifying in large numbers.

Ultra-high-speed movement, high attack frequency, and extreme armor-piercing ability... theoretically, there's no escape from an A-grade cat swarm's siege.

Xiao Fu said after learning this, "It's okay. Although these abilities are not strong enough, their mechanics are good. Even when dealing with stronger Light Core entities in the future, they can come in handy."

"Energy-based lifeforms all have their own mechanical advantages and disadvantages."

"Electricity has a low energy density, but it's stable and easy to convert."

The Streamwalker said, "Da Zhou, haven't you already mastered the method of cultivating a large number of electric cats and pushing them to A-grade? Continuously promoting them, transforming them into Seed lifeforms one by one, will increase your strength."

"I said before that capturing 100 B-grade species lifeforms, or obtaining 2 conceptual lifeforms like Microphone Bully, will allow you to reach the Embryo stage, which is A-grade."

"Electric cats are a good substitute. As long as you find one more A-grade electric cat, plus Pikachu, you can become an A-grade lifeform by expanding their consciousness capacity."

Xiao Fu said, "Becoming A-grade will allow you to enter the Great Sacred Spirit, through which you can obtain more information and secrets about this world."

"To give you one example, through the Great Sacred Spirit, you can directly talk to other A-grade lifeforms! The exchange of information between you is maintained by the Great Sacred Spirit, so you don't have to worry about leaks at all."

This point did indeed make Zhou Yi's heart flutter.

Putting aside everything else.

Among his current partners, there are Overthrower and Madam Mei, who are both Skywalkers.

Being able to use the Great Sacred Spirit's cloud services would make many things much more convenient.

The Streamwalker continued, "Remember why I wanted to collect Seed lifeforms? Besides collecting civilization legacies, I also want to reconnect them into a civilization."

"As long as there are enough Seed lifeforms, they can form the most basic form of civilization."

"This process is a qualitative change resulting from quantitative change. In a specific Seed civilization, the memory core of each Seed lifeform will be connected to each other. They will operate in the world composed of memory cores."

According to its description, the memory core is the residence and independent space of each Seed lifeform. When the number of Seed lifeforms with similar information reaches 150, they can connect to form a special ring.

"It's like a village."

"The Seed lifeforms' consciousness keys will connect to each other, forming a consciousness collective."

"They can talk to each other, exchange information and energy like on the material side, and expand the civilization consciousness collective based on this, with each individual benefiting from its enhancement!"

"And this civilization consciousness body is essentially you."

Xiao Fu's words made a light flash in Zhou Yi's mind.

Something is very similar to what it described.

Zhou Yi frowned in thought.

That's right.

It's that!

Zhou Yi asked, "Is the consciousness side similar to this form of Seed civilization?"

"Correct."

The newest novel is first published at Six Nine Book Bar!

Xiao Fu said triumphantly, "Otherwise, why would we say that the Ring Flow technology possessed by us Streamwalkers is our most special masterpiece and treasure?"

"We can really build a civilization!"

"Although its scale is completely incomparable to the consciousness side of a world, the basic mechanism is the same. Because the configuration of Seed lifeforms is originally modeled after the products of the Great Sacred Spirits of various worlds, except that holders like us have replaced the position of the Great Sacred Spirit."

Zhou Yi hissed as he listened.

The Ring Flow technology is indeed awesome.

This is almost a creation ability.

"So collect the electric cats as soon as possible. There are already 3 Seed lifeforms, only 147 more needed, it will be fast! Put all your energy into this! Electric cat transformation doesn't require extra light seeds, the operation is simple, and the strength is sufficient."

The Streamwalker urged, "I located the coordinates of a civilization legacy closest to here a long time ago. I marked it before I was killed, so it shouldn't be wrong. As long as you get two more electric cats, we can go treasure hunting!"

"The timing is the most important thing for treasure hunting, first come first served, nothing will be left if you go late, so hurry up."

Xiao Fu couldn't wait.

Zhou Yi immediately transferred two A-grade electric cats over.

The Streamwalker was right about this, follow the timing and seize the opportunity.

The two that came were both Flash Spirit sequence, Flash Spirit No. 17 and Flash Spirit No. 18, they were gentle and stable, and their combat power was weak. However, this characteristic is suitable for forming a Seed civilization.

Pikachu still needs to be active outside, so let them fill these two positions first.

Under the guidance and teaching of Pikachu, they quickly integrated into Zhou Yi's shoulders and completed the transformation.

Finally reached the Skywalker threshold that Xiao Fu mentioned.

Zhou Yi felt a new sensory organ in his body, able to observe things he couldn't see in the past.

Suddenly, some strange black and white blocks appeared around, as if some BUGS had appeared in the program called the world, causing mosaics and clipping.

Some of them floated in mid-air, some stuck to the ground, some on the treetops, some in the water, and some even on sand rats and birds.

These black and white blocks were of various sizes, as if someone had patched up the world with various patches.

Xiao Fu said, "These are the entrances to the consciousness side, just touch them to access the Great Sacred Spirit."

"It's very simple, Skywalkers all access the Great Sacred Spirit through these natural entrances. But these entrances can't fully enter the consciousness side, so they are considered indirect access."

Zhou Yi tried to touch the nearest black and white patch on the wall next to him.

The moment he touched it.

He only felt a surge of torrent pass through his body.

Then a voice came from his mind.

"Hello, this is Great Sacred Spirit Spirit Medium No. 4399 serving you."

Zhou Yi was a little dazed.

What's going on?

The Great Sacred Spirit... has a service center?

Xiao Fu didn't mention this either?

"Hello? What can I help you with?"

Zhou Yi said somewhat awkwardly, "Um, this is my first time accessing the Great Sacred Spirit, can you introduce me to the basic operations?"

"Okay, oh? You are indeed a new visitor."

The other side said, "As you hear, I am a consciousness body differentiated from the Great Sacred Spirit, you can also call me a Spirit Medium, I am specifically responsible for receiving, guiding, and serving visitors."

"Different Spirit Mediums have different forms."

"For example, some visitors are used to text, then the Spirit Medium will receive them in text form. Some recognize the world by smell, then it will be in the form of smell."

"The associations and inertia released by your consciousness body are in this form, so I appear in this form."

Zhou Yi suddenly understood.

No wonder it's in customer service form.

Just like conceptual lifeforms like Night God, a thousand people have a thousand faces.

"After accessing the Great Sacred Spirit, you will be able to access this world and many public consciousness nodes, but access will continue to consume a lot of energy, so please be sure to ensure that your main body has sufficient energy, otherwise you will be automatically disconnected."

"According to your habits, I have converted the costs."

"The cost of accessing a consciousness node is about 1000 light seeds per hour."

Zhou Yi clicked his tongue.

This Great Sacred Spirit network fee is really expensive, not something you can just casually afford.

The Spirit Medium reminded, "In addition, if you collect consciousness nodes or related information, you can archive them through the Great Sacred Spirit, and you can continue to access and view them next time."

"Finally, because consciousness bodies must be real and valid to be allowed to connect for access. So please make sure not to lie, and be consistent in words and deeds, otherwise you will be considered an invalid or incorrect consciousness, your permissions will be revoked, and you will never be able to access again."

This is consistent with what Xiao Fu said before.

Zhou Yi took out 1000 light seeds and converted them all into energy.

Let's get an hour of surfing in.

Starting the Skywalker surfing mode!
