Interactive Fiction: The Right Choice After Unemployment

Chapter 105 Sit in Prison
Option 65.2 13.1%, Option 21.7 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Swallow the pasture】

……

pasture.

Zheng Zhuo put his eyes on the ground.

Dead grass and low vegetation are scattered across the land.Plants are too sparsely spaced to hide the gray, lifeless soil beneath their long leaves.

But compared with the place where Zheng Zhuo started, this place can already be regarded as "green grass".

"These grasses are enough for me to evolve. After upgrading, hunting will become easier."

Get what you can get first.

Thinking of this, Zheng Zhuo, who was erratic in the air, slowly fell to the withered grass below.

His aerosol body lightly touched the leaves of the vegetation.The leaves were wrapped into his body, then disintegrated and disappeared.

Next, are their stems and roots.

Zheng Zhuo did not continue flying.He crawled on the ground and moved forward slowly.His speed on the ground is still the same as when he was [wisp], but this time, his area is much larger.

His body is closer to the surface, and from a distance, it looks like a pool of flowing orange-red shadows.

However, this shadow is not a good stubble.Wherever he flows, the vegetation there will be ignited and disappear with a slight "grunt" sound.

【Points: 218】

【Points: 219】

【…】

The number of points increases steadily.Zheng Zhuo also slowly came to a location where the vegetation was more lush.

Among the antelope herd, the more vigilant individuals raised their heads.In the grass, there was the sound of snakes "rustling".

They sensed that Zheng Zhuo was approaching.But not smart enough to handle it all.

Grass blades, straws.Low rhizomes.

Zheng Zhuo swallowed more plants.At the same time, his high temperature began to ignite the vegetation around him that was not fully contained in his body.

The first thing that came out of the pasture was white smoke.But soon, it turned into black smoke.

Then there is fire.

The fire is spreading.On the plain, the cold wind blows, and in the blink of an eye, a continuous line of fire is blown from the fire point.

"Bee!"

"Bee!"

The antelopes start screaming.They fled, skipping, away from the rootless fire that was spreading in every direction.

The fire was bigger than Zheng Zhuo imagined.Probably because his temperature has increased by two gears, and when his body ignites other items, the temperature will also be higher.The grassland burned and spread at an extremely fast speed. Zheng Zhuo chewed the burning grass leaves all the way. All he could hear were the panicked calls of animals, the sound of running and the crackling of flames.

The sound of the snake swimming was long gone.Many groundhogs and hares jumped out from Zheng Zhuo's unexpected places and galloped across the ground.In the distance, large groups of vultures flew up, and wild dogs kept barking.

The fire was raging.Soon, they climbed to a higher ground and moved up along the mountains with a faster movement speed than Zheng Zhuo.

And Zheng Zhuo also got 250 points at this time.

He opens the interface. [Optional evolution] Sure enough, there is information there.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Shadow Fire (Orange Red)]

[Ability: identification, evolution]

[Evolved: Ignite]

【Points: 250】

[Optional evolution: increase in temperature/increase in size/increase in speed]

……

The source of energy ingested is very simple, and a very simple evolutionary path will appear.

Zheng Zhuo confirmed this now.

then……

Looking at the purgatory-like scene in front of him, Zheng Zhuo thought of one thing.

"If you don't evolve first, keep your points, and keep eating...what will happen?"

He wanted to try it.

The hot air brought by the prairie fire blows from the flat ground.Zheng Zhuo relaxed his body, concentrated his consciousness on his back, and slowly floated up.

He rose up a little bit, and the scenery he could see became more and more open.There is fire everywhere.There are ignited plants and trees everywhere, and there are people running away in a hurry...

……food.

"No no, it's points. Points."

He tried hard to retain a little rationality as a human being.

Zheng Zhuo glides on the thermal.Along the way, he saw many old, weak, sick and disabled beasts that could not run down in the heat and smoke brought by the wildfires.

At this time, Zheng Zhuo would start to descend silently.

Shortly thereafter, a thin shadow would fall over the fallen beasts.

Gollum, gollum.

The sound of burning and devouring is perfectly masked by the sound of wildfire.

……

Zheng Zhuo flew into the sky again.Gliding, he saw that the fire had spread very close to the top of the hill.And there seems to be the limit.The fire stopped going up.

There don't seem to be many trees on top of the hills.With no fuel available, the flames stopped on the south side of the mountain.

"Ah, antelope."

Zheng Zhuo saw the prey again and fell down again.

Every time he falls, Zheng Zhuo will gain a lot of points.His thin body was almost the same color as the sky that was dyed red by the flames, and it was impossible to recognize him from the smoke without looking carefully.Many animals die without understanding what it is that has taken their lives.

but.Even if they can understand, they have nowhere to escape.

From the beginning to the end, Zheng Zhuo was quite cautious: he only ate animals that were basically completely incapacitated.This made him miss a lot of half-run and half-rest prey, but at the same time, it saved a lot of take-off and landing time.

Judging from the final conclusion, Zheng Zhuo's choice is very wise.

His measures are quite efficient.He hasn't missed a single shot since the fire started.Zheng Zhuo flew up and down in the wildfire, swallowing antelopes, snakes, wild dogs, prairie rabbits, groundhogs, tree trunks that looked like large creatures, weeds that looked like large creatures, and were burned until they couldn't see the original What species of creatures and creatures that had died and rotted so long before the fire broke out that they couldn't tell what kind of creatures they were.

[Points: 550].

The time to rise from 250 to 550 is even shorter than his time to rise from 0 to 250.

In Zheng Zhuo's original plan, if things went well, he planned to eat a little more.But now, the seemingly never-ending blaze has abated.

"Grass, it's almost burnt out."

"Edible creatures...especially large creatures, that's about it...others are far away."

Zheng Zhuo flew into the air for the last time, and after looking around at the scene below, he judged so.

"Forget it. Fortunately, it's enough to save up to 550."

He opens the interface.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Race: Shadow Fire (Orange Red)]

[Ability: identification, evolution]

[Evolved: Ignite]

【Points: 550】

[Optional evolution: increase in temperature/increase in size/increase in speed]

[Optional evolution: dexterity/horns/coiled/venom]

……

Two evolutionary directions popped up.

Zheng Zhuo tried it.You can only choose one up and down.

"It turned out that the points were saved up, just to be selected together with the next time. I thought there would be something special."

He was slightly disappointed.

However, it is much better than the worst answer where the second evolutionary channel does not appear, and the points are reset to zero after the first one is selected.

……

【Question one】

[Choose the first evolutionary direction.Which one to choose? 】
