Ancient species: Call me Uncle Tyrannosaurus Rex!

[The last sentence from Earth Online is a bit heartbreaking.]

How so?

[A total of 500 points, 400 are in Wu Yu's hands, and the other 100 were given away by Wu Yu. Participants from other countries don't have any points, so how can they improve their own innate species?]

Haha, you're right.

[USA: WTF! Archer didn't even get a single point.]

[South Korea: What are you pretending for? Is getting points something to be proud of?]

Yes, our Wu Yu is really awesome.

[South Korea: Let you be arrogant for one more day. After the competition starts tomorrow, our hyenas will tear your chickens to shreds, piece by piece!]

[Japan: So what if you have points? Can they withstand our poison?]

[Monkey Kingdom: Exactly! What's so great about getting some points early on? A chicken is a chicken, no matter how many points it has!]

At this point, Xia Guoren remembered that the natal species chosen by the participants of his family's Earth Online was a chicken!

Chickens are not the weakest creatures in nature, but among all the species chosen by the participants as their natal species, chickens were the weakest.

Those comments are right. Even if there are points to improve, it's highly unlikely that we'll be able to get as many points in tomorrow's match as we did today.

Inside the game space, with the end of the knowledge quiz, everyone except Wu Yu and Antonla had zero points.

This made them look rather grim.

This means that in the upcoming "Species Race" competition, they will not be able to use points to improve the strength of their main species.

Lee Seok from South Korea stroked the fur of the hyena beside him. "A chicken is a chicken, even if it's enhanced, it's still a chicken."

Almost everyone thought that Wu Yu's points were useless. In their view, even if a chicken returned to ancient times, it would still be a chicken. How could it be stronger than lions and elephants after returning to ancient times?

.....

The game space assigned a room to each participant. Wu Yu returned to his room and brought up the species enhancement interface.

My favorite animal: Rooster

Physical condition: 3

Speed: 3

Stamina: 3

If the speed of a cheetah is ten, then the median speed of all animals in nature is five.

In other words, the rooster's speed is below average, placing it in the lower-middle range.

Not only is his speed below average, but his endurance and physical condition are also below average.

No wonder the people outside groaned when they saw Wu Yu choosing chickens.

Anyone who sees this would feel despair, but Wu Yu, who knows that a rooster can revert to a Tyrannosaurus Rex, is not in despair.

"Tomorrow is a speed race, so let's prioritize improving the rooster's speed and stamina."

Every seven days, a national destiny contest takes place, and the outcome of the contest determines whether the country will enjoy good weather or suffer a series of natural disasters.

The outcome of the national destiny duel depends on the strength of the natal species and the upper limit of the ancient return, so no knowledge quiz, speed race or other competition can be missed, and every point must be earned.

Wu Yu opened the points shop, and a series of potions appeared before his eyes.

Initially, it was the Rejuvenation Potion and the Basic Enhancement Potion.

Rejuvenation Potion (costs 200 points): Allows a creature to revert to its form from one million years ago.

Constitution Enhancement Potion (costs 100 points): Increases constitution by 0.5 points.

speed

endurance.....

In addition to the four types of drugs mentioned above, there is also an animal characteristic enhancement drug.

Animal characteristic enhancement drugs:

Leg Feature Enhancement Potion (costs 300 points): Grants leg enhancement to your own species (the effect of the potion depends on the species' genes).

Mouth Feature Enhancement Potion (Consumes 300 points): Allows you to...

For a chicken to revert to its ancient form and become a Tyrannosaurus Rex is a complex process that requires a lot of points.

In real biological evolution, the ancestors of chickens can be traced back to the Late Jurassic period, 1.6 million years ago, to a group of small dinosaurs called Maniraptors.

These small dinosaurs are ancestors of chickens, as well as Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptor.

Later, due to different living environments, some Maniraptors continued to shrink in size and grew wings.

Another group of Maniraptors continued to grow in size and became the dominant carnivorous dinosaurs of their time, such as Tyrannosaurus Rex.

In other words, Maniraptor evolved into two completely different branches.

Until 6600 million years ago, an asteroid struck Earth, causing the extinction of all non-avian dinosaurs (Tyrannosaurus Rex, Triceratops). Only the smaller one survived and eventually evolved into the chicken we know today.

Transforming this evolutionary process into a degenerate process in Earth Online involves reverting a chicken to a maniraptor, and then using basic and trait enhancement potions to upgrade the maniraptor into a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

After a moment's thought, Wu Yu realized that what he needed most right now was to gain an advantage in the speed race, and that the return to antiquity could be done later.

Furthermore, retrofitting, trait enhancement, and basic enhancement can be performed simultaneously; there is no conflict between the two, nor is there a necessary order between them.

Therefore, Wu Yu prioritized the leg feature enhancement drug.

In addition to the leg enhancement potion, Wu Yu also exchanged for a body enhancement potion.

The moment the exchange was successful, the two vials of medicine entered the rooster's body.

A white light enveloped the rooster, and a few seconds later, the rooster's body swelled slightly, and its feathers became darker than before.

His weight increased from seven pounds to seventeen pounds, and his height reached 1.2 meters!

The biggest change is in the legs; the originally short legs have grown to 70 centimeters!

The rooster's transformation was clearly displayed in the live stream, and everyone could see its long, powerful legs.

Wow, this chicken leg looks amazing!

[This enhancement strategy is indeed reasonable. Leg feature enhancement potions increase speed, while constitution enhancement potions increase constitution, which are exactly what racing requires.]

Here's the problem: chicken legs alone aren't enough to outrun hyenas and lions.

Qin Ge's tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed.

"With these improvements, there's at least some hope for tomorrow's match."

This "some hope" doesn't mean there's a chance of getting a good ranking, but rather that the ranking won't be too low.

In Qin Ge's view, a rooster is still a rooster even after being enhanced.

Wu Yu looked at the "giant among chickens" in front of him and nodded in satisfaction.

Although its size has changed dramatically, it is still essentially a chicken, or rather, a chicken that is moving in the direction of a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

[Natural Species: Rooster (Leg Features Enhanced)]

Physical condition: 4.5

Speed: 7

Stamina: 5.5

Speed ​​has jumped from below average to excellent, and endurance and physical fitness have also improved.

With this configuration, you'll at least not be at the bottom in a racing competition.

If we want to achieve a better ranking, we definitely can't rely on the rooster we have, so we need Antora's "help" in tomorrow's game.

......

Twenty-four hours passed quickly.

Everyone was teleported to the airspace above a landmass.

Wu Yu looked down and saw a huge runway on the land. The runway was 200 kilometers long and featured various terrains such as mountains and plains.

In addition to the terrain, the runway also contains traps such as pendulums and spikes.

The cold, mechanical voice rang out again:

[Second Race: Species Race]

[Rules: All participants' native species start simultaneously, and ranking is based on the order in which they reach the finish line. The total course length is 200 kilometers.]

First Place: 500 points awarded

Second place: 300 points awarded

Third Place: 200 points awarded

[Fourth place and below: No prize]
