Global Evolution: I transplanted the heart of the Supreme God.

Chapter 1173 Human Performance
After Bai Pu finished his selection, the opposing team still had one last open pick.

When Bai Pu chose the Puppet Master, the other side seemed disdainful, sending a thumbs-down bubble emoji, and then selecting a hero with mechanical prosthetics, giving off a cyberpunk vibe.

"Why is the other side sending me emoticons? Is the Puppet Master that weak?"

Bai Pu felt that he might have been tricked by Feng Shenxiu.

"No, the Puppet Master is very strong, it just requires skillful execution, you know how multi-threaded it is. The opposing team probably saw that we didn't pick a marksman and were mocking our lineup for being unprofessional."

Feng Shenxiu comforted him, "Don't worry, Brother Gangxin, with our human abilities, we'll crush the other side by eight streets."

"What is meant by human performance?" asked the dragon-man Jinjiao, puzzled.

"Ahem, it's about our skill level as players," Feng Shenxiu said.

The selection process for both sides has concluded.

Bai Pu is on the blue side, and the opposite side is on the red side.

The game has three lanes: top, mid, and bottom. There are also jungle skirmishes.

Top Lane: Blue side "Emberbreaker" vs. Red side "Wasteland Totem".

Mid Lane: Blue side's "Molten Executioner" versus Red side's "Ice Queen".

Bottom lane: Blue side's "Puppet Master" and "Lightforger" combo against Red side's "Mech Archer" and "Ethereal Star Painter" combo.

Jungle: Blue side "Time Traveler" vs. Red side "Arcane Tinker".

With a clang, both sides loaded into the game.

During the map loading phase, Feng Shenxiu continued to explain the game's strategy.

"Our jungler is an assassin, so let's start in the bottom jungle. Steelheart, help him get a few more hits so Darkblade doesn't get killed by the jungle monsters..."

Dark Blade sneered: "Killed by wild monsters? You underestimate me too much."

Upon entering the game, Bai Pu immediately saw the attribute panel of "Puppet Master".

Puppet Master (Level 1): Strength 9, Agility 9, Stamina 5, Spirit 17
Passive Skill (learned by default): Shadow Mastery: The Puppet Master's attacks deal additional dark magic damage.

Learnable skills: Puppet Creation, Shadow Threads, Teleportation. (Currently 1 skill point remaining)

Unlearnable skill: Multiple Summon (Level 6 required).

It's been so long since I felt this weak.

Bai Pu knew that his current attributes were equivalent to a level 1 hero class.

However, despite his weakened attribute, Bai Pu felt that he had become more proficient in controlling the "dark attribute" energy. He could add a trace of dark attribute energy to his normal attacks, inflicting additional shadow damage on the enemy!
The deeper Bai Pu's understanding of the dark attribute, the stronger the destructive power of the dark attribute energy he can apply in his basic attacks, and the more additional shadow damage he can deal!

Of course, this is also limited by level. Bai Pu is currently manipulating the level 1 template of the Puppet Master, and the power he can exert cannot exceed the peak state of the level 1 Puppet Master.

But what kind of person is the Puppet Master? He is the "King of the Demons," a top-tier evolver who has walked the path of genius with few rivals.

Bai Pu's performance is already at its peak if he can unleash power close to that of a level 1 player.

"So this is what they call human nature..."

Bai Pu also felt that Feng Shenxiu's statement that "playing games is a form of cultivation" was indeed true.

Having experienced the passive skill "Shadow Mastery" from a first-person perspective alone, Bai Pu felt his understanding of the Dark Constellation had deepened slightly. He wondered what the effects would be if he learned the active skill.
Bai Pu browsed through three learnable skills and finally chose "Shadow Silk".

Feng Shenxiu was still hurriedly directing everyone to find the base's quartermaster and use the initial 500 gold coins to buy starting equipment.

"There are two types of equipment in the game: weapons and armor. Weapons are unique, and you can only choose one. You can upgrade them with gold coins to increase their base attack power! Armor consists of equipment for various body parts, which can increase attributes and armor value..."

Feng Shenxiu exclaimed, "Just like weapons, armor can also be upgraded continuously, from white to legendary! But it costs gold coins, so in this game, both economy and level are very important..."

Leveling up enhances personal attributes, grants skill points, and increases the upper limit of character combat specializations and abilities that can be "utilized".

Bai Pu opened the list, scanned a column of basic blank weapons, and immediately spotted a long spear.

"Brother Steelheart, you'd better not choose a melee weapon... Puppet Master is a ranged spellcasting class that manipulates puppets in battle, so you'd be better off choosing a staff."

Bai Pu shook his head and said, "My meditation expertise... is very low."

Feng Shenxiu had no choice but to compromise, saying, "Alright then, just choose what you're good at... just kill the opponent and take down the tower."

Feng Shenxiu really went to great lengths to get his teammates into this mess.

After teaching how to buy starting items, Feng Shenxiu immediately had Longren Jinjiao go to the top lane and Heren Shile go to the middle lane.

He led Bai Pu and An Ren towards the bottom lane jungle.

"You guys go to the bottom lane turret. How could mere jungle monsters possibly kill me?" Darkblade said confidently.

But the moment the monster spawned and appeared in front of him, Dark Blade's confidence was shattered.

Appearing on a circular mountain wall, hidden among the jungle, stood a towering alchemical golem.

Beside the alchemical golem were a group of smaller alchemical golems.

The towering alchemical golem slapped down, and Dark Blade tried to dodge, but his speed was incredibly slow. He was grazed and lost a bar of health!
"Holy crap, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

The "Time Traveler" controlled by Dark Blade was a real weakling. This slap immediately woke him up, and he said from the bottom of his heart, "Help me fight! Help me fight!"

Feng Shenxiu laughed and said, "Our attributes are very weak right now, and we can't use any skills or True Meaning Domain. It's better to be honest."

He then skillfully directed Bai Pu:

"Brother Steelheart, summon the puppet to help take a couple of hits."

"A puppet? I didn't order a puppet..."

Bai Pu said.

"You're a level 1 Puppet Master and you haven't leveled up Puppet? What skill did you level up?" Feng Shenxiu was stunned.

"Shadow Silk".

Bai Pu chose this skill mainly because it allowed for a more refined and nuanced application of shadow power, which would help him better understand how to use shadow power.

It's worth mentioning that after entering the game, Bai Pu discovered that although his talent skills such as "adaptive evolution" could not be used in the game, he could still use abilities related to the spiritual and soul level, such as endless deduction and the Source Lord Meeting!
Just now, he was distracted by using the computing power of endless deduction to deduce more ways to use the Shadow Silk.

Feng Shenxiu was speechless for a moment: "Brother, Shadow Silk is a skill used to control puppets. Doesn't this mean you're basically a level 1 blank? How are we supposed to reach level 2 in lane... Holy crap?"
