Chapter 218 Genealogy relies entirely on annual rings
If you die once, you have to start over from the novice point. This also means that Yao Mao needs to be more careful when playing.
Take one step and see three steps!
For fear of stepping on some trap or being attacked by some monster, the main strategy is to act cautiously and avoid death.
But even so, he still died no less than four or five times in the second random level on the map, and finally reached the third level...
The third level map is also random.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that this time we came to the swamp map again. The monsters and traps had been strengthened, but the sapling next to the ground thorn trap was not unfamiliar to Yao Mao.
nonsense!
That was the ancestral tree he left behind after his second death! Also hanging on it was his first heavyweight trophy, a fine-grade dagger.
Unfortunately, the difficulty of the swamp map has been increased this time, so it is useless even if he gets the dagger back. This dagger cannot be more useful than the knife in his hand.
Death, the ancestral tree grows!
Resurrect and continue the adventure...
Because the number of deaths was not enough, and the map was random, Yao Mao had not actually encountered the ancestral tree left by his previous death several times.
no way!
There are more than ten or twenty maps. You have to die on each map at least once before you dare to say that you can inherit the "legacy" in every adventure, right?
Moreover, legacies also score situations.
The fruit produced by the ancestral tree is limited, and it is impossible to inherit it 100%. You can only inherit one prop or one skill during your lifetime.
Maybe when you reach advanced levels, the ancestral tree will grow taller and bigger, and the number of fruits it will bear will gradually increase...
As I was playing, it was getting dark before I knew it.
At the urging of his mother, Yao Mao reluctantly left the room and went downstairs to have dinner.
While eating, he suddenly thought of something.
The ancestral tree grows after death. The tree grows wherever the character dies. So the question is, if the ancestral trees die in the same place multiple times in a row, will the ancestral trees grow "overlapping"?
This question aroused great interest in Yao Mao.
So after finishing his meal in a hurry, he returned to the room and continued the game he had just paused.
There was an ancestral tree in front of him.
Yao Mao controlled the character, carefully crossing the traps, avoiding the patrolling monsters, and walked to the ancestral tree.
He did not pick the fruit of this ancestral tree like before, but planned to lure a monster here to kill him and see if the two ancestral trees would grow overlapping if he died in the same place.
It turns out, no!
The ancestral tree layer seems to override the background texture, and when developing this game, Brother Ba seemed to have thought about this possibility, so he prepared a plan.
When a player dies more than once in the same place, a second ancestral tree will not grow, but the quality and item output of the first ancestral tree will be improved.
For example.
The ancestral tree that Yao Mao used to test originally had only one fruit, but now it has two, and the tree has become taller.
"It's boring!"
After seeing this change, Yao Mao couldn't help but sigh, feeling ridiculous for his own thoughts.
The game map is only so big. The game development team must have considered the problem that players died too many times on the same map, resulting in an excessive number of ancestral trees.
In other words, not every death results in the growth of a new ancestral tree.
If you die in a location where there is already an ancestral tree, your body will become new nutrients for the ancestral tree to grow, instead of growing a new tree.
Yao Mao is resurrected.
After getting the results of the test, he was no longer interested in doing such boring things. After all, the maps appeared randomly. If he wanted to randomly find that picture, he still didn't know... Eh!
Yao Mao, who was about to quickly pass through the first novice forest map, suddenly realized something when he walked to the ancestral tree that grew out of his first death.
The other maps do appear randomly, even if you want to send fertilizer, there is no chance, but the first map, which is the beginner level map, is fixed.
In other words, every resurrection starts from this picture!
So here comes the question...
He died once in this picture, and an ancestral tree grew, but it was just a sapling and had no fruit.
If he commits suicide by infinite poisoning in the same position, what will this ancestral tree look like? Will it bear fruit?
If it works out, that’s definitely a good thing! You know, every time you resurrect, you have to re-match equipment and skills. This process is very painful.
Wouldn't it be great if you could get a guarantee from the ancestral tree next to you after resurrecting?
Just do it!
Yao Mao is an action man. Since he thought this idea was feasible, he implemented the plan and died more than ten times in a row under the ancestral tree in the initial map level.
"Why hasn't it come out yet?"
After more than ten waves of fertilizers, this ancestor tree has grown very tall, even taller and bigger than all the ancestor trees.
But Yao Mao was speechless and found that even though the ancestral tree had grown like this, there was still no fruit on the tree.
Just eat and don’t poop, isn’t it a big Pixiu?
Hey! He doesn't believe it!
Yao Mao also has a stubborn temper. He doesn't believe that this ancestral tree really doesn't bear fruit.
Continue to die...
Twenty times, thirty times, fifty times!
The ancestral tree is getting taller and thicker, and its crown almost covers half of the screen, but there are still no fruits on the tree.
"Is it poisonous?"
Yao Mao was really worried at this moment. After all, this was something that had no hope at all, and he lacked motivation to do it.
What he doesn't know is that in the underlying code of "Ancestral Tree", if the Ancestral Tree wants to bear fruit, it must have a skill or a prop before it is alive.
You must have something first before the ancestral tree can bear fruit, you cannot make something out of nothing!
But Yao Mao didn't know this. He was just curious that this ancestral tree had grown so tall and should have bloomed and bear fruit long ago. Why was there still nothing?
【Help! Why does the ancestral tree grow so big and still not bear fruit or bloom? 】
After posting his confusion to the Tianba community, Yao Mao soon received a large number of reply messages.
"Damn it! Such a tall ancestral tree?"
"Brother, what have you done? Why is your ancestral tree so tall?"
"This past life was as tall as the Jade Emperor. How can the ancestral tree grow so tall?"
"More than that, this has to be a Sanqing level ancestor tree!"
Almost everyone was surprised by the "huge" ancestral tree that Yao Mao posted, but no one cared that it didn't bloom or bear fruit.
When Yao Mao replied in the post and told everyone that the reason why this ancestral tree can grow so tall is actually because he has been selflessly providing nutrients for its growth, everyone was speechless.
"Good guy, I thought it was the death of a Sanqing-level boss that allowed such a tall ancestral tree to grow, but it turned out to be the result of bravery for a hundred generations!"
"The nourishment for a hundred generations. The growth rings of this tree are your family tree, right?"
"The tree rings make me laugh to death, but there's nothing wrong with that. A tree carries the life of a hundred generations!"
“Then can this tree continue to be cultivated?”
"What do you want to do?!"
As expected, this post quickly went viral. Yao Mao, who was originally asking for help, contributed a game meme about "genealogy depends on the annual rings".
He failed to get the answer he wanted. Instead, many netizens asked him, can this tree continue to be cultivated?
"I do not know!"
Yao Mao was speechless. He just wanted to take a shortcut to make it easier every time he was resurrected in the future. He could receive the guaranteed inheritance from his ancestor Shufa at the beginning.
How did you know that this tree has no fruit at all?
As for whether this tree can continue to be cultivated... it should be possible, right?
"Then just keep raising it. There's no guarantee that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes. In another hundred generations, the tree will blossom and bear fruit!"
No matter how you look at the netizen's suggestion, it's a bad idea, but Yao Mao listened.
He thinks it makes sense!
Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Although this tree has not yet blossomed and produced fruits, it is of no use at all. But he has provided enough nutrients and continues to grow the tree. What if it bears fruit?
mainly……
After all this has been developed, Yao Mao is really unwilling to give up if he doesn't produce any fruit. He always feels that all his previous efforts have been in vain.
Fork the community and keep raising trees!
Savage era, tribal era, feudal era, interstellar era...
As time goes by, the tree babies put on exoskeleton armor and transformed into astronauts. The ancestral tree has also grown so tall that its trunk alone covers two-thirds of the computer screen.
In the end, there was still no gain!
"I really believed your evil deeds. Why are you breaking a tree? In a thousand generations, a single cell has evolved into a cosmic superman, and you still haven't laid an egg?"
Yao Mao was fooled.
This ancestral tree cannot lay eggs at all, and there is no hope of doing so. If he had the time to continue tossing around, he might as well play the game seriously, and he might have passed the level long ago.
Yao Mao was so disappointed that he stopped dreaming. He decided to go through the level honestly to get props and skill rewards, and no longer thought about the good thing of reaching the sky in one step.
This time, he was successful.
Relying on the strategies he had read in the community and the ancestral tree he had left behind, he reached the twelfth level this time.
Unfortunately, there is a monster in the twelfth level that is so powerful that one knife can chop him to a pulp, and his props and medicines have long been used up.
Sorry to lose!
As an ancestral tree grew, the countdown to Yao Mao's resurrection also ended. Without thinking much, he clicked to resurrect immediately.
A flash of white light...
"Um? Where is my person?"
Clicking on Resurrection, the black and white screen returned to color, but Yao Mao found that he was still on this map and had not returned to the starting point.
Not only that, but his character is missing!
That's right...
The character Shu Bao is completely invisible on the entire screen.
"Am I stuck in a bug?"
Suspecting that this was a game bug, Yao Mao was so anxious that he clicked his mouse everywhere and typed furiously on the keyboard, trying to find a way to save himself.
By accident, he actually clicked on the ancestral tree that had grown up after his death. Then he discovered that his main perspective became the ancestral tree.
"what's the situation?"
Yao Mao was puzzled. What state was he in? Stuck inside the ancestral tree? Or is he resurrected inside the ancestral tree?
At the same time, while typing randomly on the keyboard, trying to escape from this state, Yao Mao didn't know what key he pressed, and Yao Mao's perspective switched again, this time to the ancestral tree on another map.
"Y?"
Yao Mao glanced down at the key he had just pressed, and tried pressing it again. Sure enough, the perspective switched again.
After a while, the perspective soon switched to the volcano map. Yao Mao, who was about to switch, accidentally glanced at the map and was instantly stunned by a jumping figure.
Isn't that a tree treasure?
Hey Hey hey!
He didn't do anything. Where did this tree treasure come from? And looking at him like that, he seems to be jumping over the lava river?
Out of curiosity, Yao Mao looked at it carefully for a while.
What a tree treasure!
This tree treasure, I don’t know what logic is behind its actions. In short, it looks very clumsy, and its jumps and rolls are very slow.
However, it can be seen from his actions that he seems to be breaking through on his own? Go through the level by yourself without any player control!
Zundu and fake toot?
Yao Mao was frightened by his guess. How could Shu Bao go through it on his own?
But the fact was right in front of him, and he had to believe it even if he didn't believe it. This tree treasure, who was mostly played by a computer, was clumsily getting through the levels.
So here comes the question...
The real tree treasure is trying to break through the level, but the perspective bug is stuck. Who is he who is trapped in the ancestral tree? An event OB or a war correspondent?
Who am I, where am I, what do I do?
After asking the three soul questions, Yao Mao shook his head and decided to send this strange phenomenon to Tianba Studio and Brother Ba through the game's own channels.
This is definitely a bug!
His camera angle is stuck. If this is not a bug, what is it?
However, since it is a bug, Brother Naha will probably be very slow to solve it, and may not even be able to solve it.
If this is the case, then don’t be in a hurry.
Instead of providing feedback, record the game of this tree treasure to see how he plays. Are there any players who are at 50% level?
"Oh, you're really jumping!"
"Don't use this trap... you stepped on it just after I said it. Are you walking without looking at the road? It's better now. You've beaten yourself to the bottom of your health..."
While watching, Yao Mao was also anxious about the operation of this tree treasure.
So stupid, so stupid!
Not to mention that the player level is only 50%, but this old Han Legs, even grandma Yao Mao plays better than him.
Naturally, a tree treasure like this can't escape bad luck, so it didn't take long for this tree treasure to die due to falling lava.
An ancestral tree grew in its place!
Yao Mao tried clicking with the mouse and found that he could indeed switch to the perspective of the ancestral tree.
Sure enough, this time Yao Mao cut to the initial map, which was the "giant" ancestral tree that he had spent countless experiences cultivating.
As a result, when he got here, he discovered the newly resurrected tree treasure. After clicking the mouse, a magical scene appeared...
He broke away from the magical perspective of the ancestral tree just now and regained control of the tree treasure. The originally malfunctioning operation buttons were now restored.
"Hey! If you say so..."
Yao Mao didn't expect that by clicking on the tree treasure with the mouse, he could switch back to the original perspective and regain control of the character.
If that's the case, the person who controlled the tree treasure to pass through the level before was not the ancestral tree behind him, right?
