#115 - I need Zerg!
"System, I want to submit the task, the village construction one ~"
Standing on the tall Library Tower, Liang Yue overlooked the efforts he had put in over these past few days, admiring them with great interest, hands on his hips, before speaking in his mind.
"Ding ~! After detection, this time the stronghold world upgrade task 'The Beginning of Civilization (Construction)' has been completed. Host, do you need to submit the task immediately?"
"Hmm, wait a second, System, I want to know what 'Equal Distribution' means in the task rewards."
Subconsciously opening his task panel, Liang Yue read through the village construction task again from beginning to end, only then finding a somewhat unfamiliar term.
His attention had previously been mostly focused on the ten villager slots, as they were related to his promises and preferences.
As for this so-called "Equal Distribution," although Liang Yue had seen it, he hadn't thought about it deeply.
"Ding ~! 'Equal Distribution' is to use a method that affects the rules of the stronghold world to distribute the animals and plants collected by the host in the previous two tasks in a regular manner.
During the distribution, the number of original species in the stronghold world will also be appropriately reduced, and the speed of species reproduction and growth will be accelerated, in order to construct a simple ecological cycle system for the world and ensure the diverse development of species within the stronghold world.
Except for the various animals and plants raised or planted by the host in the personal base, all species in other areas are within the scope of this equal distribution."
"…Wow, that~ this function is very powerful! But… come to think of it, System, you mentioned building a simple ecological cycle system.
Can it be established just with the batch of animals and plants I brought in? Don't you need some bugs or something?"
After listening to the System's words, Liang Yue's mind raced for a moment, and he thought about many things in a short period of time.
For example, in the original MC world, the creature at the very bottom of the food chain is probably the chicken.
However, due to their small number and sufficient living space, chickens can sustain their lives by eating grass and pecking at wheat seeds in the grass.
But after the previous animal and plant collection task, the stronghold world has begun to become lively.
Under Liang Yue's deliberate creation, the bottom-level species of the food chain, in terms of land alone, have already dropped from chickens all the way down to bullfrogs and stone frogs, which are amphibians.
These frog species are different from the former, which is an omnivorous species. They eat bugs. Mosquitoes, flies, moths, and various flying insects are the food on their menu.
To be honest, when Liang Yue completed the animal part of the species diversity task, he sincerely thought that his next stronghold world upgrade task would be to collect various insects or something.
He never expected that the System would play a cross-domain development game with him, heading straight to the beginning of civilization and the construction of villages~
Now it's about building some kind of species ecological cycle… but how can you build it without bugs?
"Ding ~! Host, do you want to submit the task immediately?"
"Well, I'll wait a little longer…"
…
Leaving the stronghold world with a heavy heart, Liang Yue returned to his home in reality, casually turned on the TV, and sat down on the sofa, pondering the introduction of insects.
"…I'm very clear-headed now, and my spirit is very healthy. I'm Tony Stark, so I have a major decision to announce.
That is, I now formally announce that Stark Industries will indefinitely close the weapons technology research and development and production departments…"
Tony Stark escaped from the hands of terrorists~
This is the biggest news in the United States, and even the entire world, in recent days.
As for this largest arms supplier in the United States announcing the closure of the group's internal weapons department, Liang Yue, who knew the plot well, had already expected it and was not surprised~
And according to Liang Yue's own estimation, two months is enough for this Marvel world's C-debut hero to build the Mark I armor for temporary self-rescue and return to this land of freedom.
"Then next, it's time for this Iron Man to officially debut. His bald uncle Obadiah will also be eager to seize the portable arc reactor's benefits.
It won't be long before he makes a desperate move to snatch it, and is finally counter-killed."
"Iron Man, hehe~"
Liang Yue, who knew the ins and outs of this very individual superhero's life, admired Tony Stark quite a bit. Although he was a bit mouthy and had various minor flaws, he was the most reliable one at critical moments.
His body is full of human charm~
Now is the very beginning of this Iron Man's rise, the most critical moment of his life's turning point.
Therefore, even Liang Yue was considering in his heart whether he should go over to help him and establish a revolutionary friendship in advance or something~
However, this idea only stayed in his mind for a moment before being completely discarded by him.
You need to know that at this time, Stark Industries' headquarters is still in Los Angeles.
Although it was later moved to New York, that was after Stark and Obadiah's Iron Monger fight, which eventually detonated the large arc reactor in the group's headquarters.
Los Angeles is located in California, near the sea, and California is in the southeast corner of the West Coast.
New York, where Liang Yue is currently located, is in the northeast corner of the United States, and is not far from the Great Lakes region near the border.
The two places are almost diagonally opposite each other, drawing the longest straight line across the entire US mainland.
Leaving aside personal feelings and self-esteem, asking Liang Yue to cross such a long distance, go to the door with a slap, and then squat around Stark Industries.
Just waiting for the moment when Obadiah drives the Iron Monger to go berserk, to send him a bullet~
This kind of thankless thing is simply too low, Liang Yue would only go and be a fool if he was too idle…
"Then let's wait and see. Anyway, he has the protagonist's halo. He drove the Mark I, such a clumsy mech, and then plunged headfirst into the desert from a hundred meters high, and still didn't die.
In comparison, the battle with Iron Monger is just a small scene~"
"Now, I should think more about introducing insects. While the weather is still not too cold and the insects are still having a carnival, I have to find more food for the animals in the stronghold world."
"First of all, dung beetles~ It seems that this kind of insect must be there. In addition to helping decompose animal feces, it consumes almost nothing."
"Similarly~ various earthworms must also be there."
"Then there are~ mosquitoes and flies. Although these two kinds of insects are annoying, they are an indispensable food source at the bottom of the food chain…"
"There are also dragonflies, butterflies, spiders, beetles, cicadas, fireflies, snails, etc. Hmm~ snails seem to be edible~"
"Then there are~ bees, yes~ bees! Although the MC world doesn't need these little things to spread pollen, who wouldn't want to eat honey?"
"After that, introduce some mealworms or something. Speaking of which~ should I also add some locusts? With this kind of thing, there will be no shortage of food, right?"
"But after having locusts, various scorpions or something…"
"Forget it, this thing is too risky. I just need to maintain the ecological chain in the stronghold world without collapsing."
