Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 84 Teacher Steals Elephant Feed
As a hidden testing ground for housing war elephants and mammoths, some safety devices were naturally arranged in advance by the Modern Army to prevent the war elephants and mammoths from escaping on their own.

At the two entrances and exits of the cave, the Modern Army dug ice pit traps according to the weight of war elephants.

The ice layer above the ice pit trap allows ordinary vehicles and researchers to enter and exit, but as long as a big war elephant stands on it, the ice surface will immediately break, freezing it inside and forcing it into a forced frozen hibernation state.

The war elephants in the game are treated like this. They are limited vehicles that can only be used in caves. Also, because it is a limited-time game, the producer directly set "Genetically Modified Peppers" and "High-Performance Batteries" as items that must be dropped in the cave, and players can randomly obtain one of them.

In the dungeons expanded from this original design, war elephants and mammoths also cannot escape the fate of being frozen—

However, Cheng's template skills broke this fate!
The existence of the war mammoth is quite special. It can be regarded as a powerful neutral unit with the potential to be taken as a servant, and it can also be judged as a biological chariot, which is a kind of biological vehicle.

This is not new in Metal Slug. Camel chariots, ostrich chariots, and even the Gengo in the very distant future can be classified as biological vehicles.

Previously, Cheng Tian had confirmed with facts that the skill effect of his Chariot Master template could be used on war elephants and mammoths. So, what would be the effect of using "Quick Recovery" which is used to forcibly recover vehicle units in combat on mammoths?

The war elephant Mammoth, who had already fallen into despair, once again thought of Cheng Tian’s question.

Do you want to believe him?
...Of course I have to believe it!
Accompanied by a loud elephant cry, the huge body of the war elephant mammoth, which was about to fall completely into the pit, collapsed into a ball of light. Then, like a recycled Pokémon, it turned into a dazzling stream of light and rushed directly into Cheng's chest without any hesitation!

[You activated "Quick Retrieval" on the biological tank "War Mammoth".]

[The War Elephant Mammoth's personal reputation with you has reached a critical point, meeting the conditions for the skill to take effect.]

[The War Mammoth is placed in your inventory as a "Biological Chariot".

Please check for yourself regarding the existence form and breeding rules of "War Mammoth".

A series of information popped up and disappeared quickly after Cheng Tian read it quickly. Then a new achievement popped up in the lower right corner of his vision.

[Limited Achievement: Ice Age (Completed)]

[Achievement conditions: Gain the approval of the war elephant Mammoth and successfully rescue it from the cave before it is frozen again.]

[Achievement Reward: Title "Elephant Driver", permanent Strength +2, permanent Charm +2.]

[Male Tamer: Purple/Rare, Limited Title. You have earned the War Mammoth's approval and successfully prevented it from being frozen again. The Mammoth has willingly become your exclusive biological chariot.]

When you ride a "War Mammoth", a "Life Link" effect will be generated between you, and 20% of the damage you suffer will be borne by the mammoth.

You can bear the MP consumption generated when releasing skills for the "War Mammoth".

Depending on the template you load, the War Mammoth you ride will gain different temporary features.

The teammates who rushed out of the frozen cave first heard a rumbling sound coming from behind. They were shocked and thought the cave had collapsed.

However, before they could stop the car to check, Cheng Tian rushed out of the cave with Xiao Wutan on his back, with flames coming out of his body.

Seeing this, Xiao P and the others remembered that Cheng Tian had demonstrated his flying ability when he was parachuting without a parachute. But when they didn't see the war elephant mammoth, they seemed to realize the reason for the rumbling sound like a cave collapse.

"Don't be sad~~ This kind of region-limited helper usually ends up like this. People like us can't do anything about the dungeon settings yet."

When he saw Cheng Tian landing nearby, Uncle Xue, who had stopped his car, leaned out and comforted Cheng.

Just as Uncle Xue said, copies based on games will more or less have some similar limited enhancements and limited helpers. Their existence is to help players get through a difficult node in the copy.

Things like Mario's Invincibility Star, Dynasty Warriors' Jade Seal, and Sonic's Super Transformation form all have similar settings. They can be used for a short period of time, but taking them out of the dungeon may not be something that can be achieved simply by hard work.

"Sad? Why should I be sad?"

However, Mr. Cheng, who was not very familiar with the setting of the Chosen Space, asked directly with a puzzled look on his face.

"Uncle is talking about your elephant."

Little P chimed in from the side.

Although he concealed it very well and tried his best to keep his tone as calm as possible, it was not difficult for anyone familiar with the male's thinking logic to guess that, apart from Smarthead who was looking towards the cave with a sad face at this moment, the uncle and Little P inevitably felt a hint of joy in their hearts.

While they felt sad about losing a powerful fighter, they were also secretly happy because "the brother's Land Rover was gone"... This is also human nature.

Brothers hope you live a good life, but not too good.

"Oh, Mammoth~ Here it is."

As Cheng Tian spoke, he used the "Quick Deployment" derived from the Chariot Master on his side.

Another streak of light, similar to a Pokémon ball, flashed, and the mammoth war elephant, which others were certain had been buried alive in the cave, appeared alive in front of everyone, and with its elephant roar and stomping feet, it released the joy of escaping from the Modern Army's icy control forever.

Smarthead's originally sad face became visibly happy, and Wutan also grinned and jumped around on the spot, as if he was happy for his friend. As for Uncle Xue and Little P... their jaws were basically dislocated.

Of course, while Cheng, who forcibly rescued the war elephant mammoth from the cave, obtained a powerful biological vehicle, he also inevitably had to pay a series of prices.

First of all, the war elephant mammoth is bound to Cheng Tian, ​​occupying one of Cheng Tian’s already precious inventory slots, similar to the existence of mounts in World of Warcraft. Even after it is released, the icon will remain in the inventory, unless Cheng Tian does not bring it to play before entering the dungeon.

Then, as a 2-year-old baby with its own thoughts, it can enter and exit the inventory according to its own wishes. Mandatory commands are likely to reduce intimacy (personal reputation), and the extent to which the war elephant can execute Cheng Tian’s instructions depends entirely on Cheng Tian’s own domestication methods in the later stage.

Finally, there is the issue of consumption. As the price of raising a biological chariot, Cheng Tian must pay the additional cost of its detention space after returning to the chosen space. The space is estimated to be about 50 to 100 coins a day, which includes accommodation, food, cleaning, and miscellaneous expenses. That is, if Cheng Tian wants to raise this big guy, he needs to pay about 3000 yuan every month.

However, the space here also added an explanation, saying that after returning to the space, the space will help screen out the genetically modified pepper seeds from the war elephants' excrement and provide a series of rationalized automatic planting processes.

Of course, if you want to grow your own genetically modified peppers...

Get! Add! Money!
