Zerg OL: This game is a bit dry

Chapter 973: Differences from the Game
At this moment, looking at the Triceratops lying on the ground, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel excited.

"Tomorrow morning it will be the first dinosaur I have tamed."

With this Triceratops, it means that he will have the ability to protect himself in the future.

Although I can’t say that I’m invincible, at least it shouldn’t be a problem for me to move home safely.

"Once we have tamed this Triceratops, the next thing to do will be simple. We will make a Triceratops saddle, bring some supplies, and find a good time to consider moving away."

"There are currently very few places on the entire island that are suitable for settling down. The best place is called Vegetarian Island, but it's across the ocean. With my current abilities, there's simply no way to find a place to settle down."

In fact, Chen Xuan knew very well that if there were any places on the entire island that were suitable for calling home, there were only a few.

The first is the famous Vegetarian Island, which is an independent island.

Among the isolated islands, there are several more famous islands. The first is Vegetarian Island, the second is Devil's Island and the third is Penguin Island.

In the Ark world, penguins can produce organic polymers, which can be used to manufacture some industrial equipment. This is also a very important resource. However, Penguin Island is located on the other side of the snow-capped mountains and the weather is extremely cold. If you go there without a mobile home, you may get very cold.

The bad weather and the dangers lurking there can be said to have passed, and there is basically no follow-up. Even if he has this Triceratops now, it is absolutely impossible for him to survive safely there.

As one of the dangerous areas, the Snow Mountain is also the place where the Giganotosaurus and Titanosaurus spawn, the absolute overlord in the Ark. They are all in those areas, and there are also some large dinosaurs such as Yutyrannosaurus.

These dinosaurs are also the biggest obstacle preventing him from going to that area. The easiest way to go to the snow mountains is to tame a pterosaur and let the pterosaur take him.

However, the pterosaur's own combat power is very low. If I bring myself with me, although I may not encounter any danger there, I am afraid of encountering the Argentine giant eagle, because there are also Argentine giant eagles active on the snowy mountains.

As one of the overlords of the sky, this is also something that needs to be considered.

"Forget it, forget about Penguin Island. Although Penguin Island not only has precious tourism resources, but also has a large amount of mineral resources on the snowy mountains nearby. In addition, Penguin Island also has rare resources such as polymers."

"It's no exaggeration to say that as long as you settle down there and gain a foothold, you can collect all kinds of materials from the industrial age."

"But this is not something I can get involved in right now."

"Alcatraz and Vegetarian Island are not something I can think of right now. After all, the areas where they are located are too far from the land."

"Although I can build a raft to get there, there are all kinds of large carnivores in the Ark's ocean. The most dangerous of them is the Lizi fish, which is known as the ship killer."

This is a fish that swims very fast in the water.

The main reason why it is called a ship killer is that it will actively attack ships sailing on the coast.

This fish will mistake ships for something like plankton, which is its main source of attack. Although it will not actively attack sharks or other marine life, it is relatively gentle in nature.

But unfortunately, ships would be his hunting targets. If his ship was destroyed and he was still in the ocean, he would be basically doomed. Although these two areas could be considered as good residential areas, it was obvious that this was not something he could think about.

"Except for these places, there are not many places left."

"When I was playing games before, I would choose places with better scenery, but if I really want to develop, I will definitely give priority to areas with rich surrounding resources and a high safety factor."

After thinking it over, he thought of a good location. He could walk up along the river on the grassland where he was now, and he would come to a swamp area on one side. There was a high mountain on the other side of the swamp area.

This is a relatively good residential area, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The way down the mountain is on the back of the swamp, which means that this area is not disturbed by biological creatures. The strongest dragon that refreshes is a large dinosaur such as Tyrannosaurus Rex or Spinosaurus, so we are not without the ability to fight.

As long as we take that side down and guard the way up the mountain, there's no need to worry about safety, and the place over there is big enough.

As for resources, there are large forests at the foot of the mountain where you can obtain resources such as wood and berries.

Apart from this, that area can be regarded as the middle area of ​​the Ark map, so it is relatively convenient to travel to the surrounding areas.

But after thinking about it, he finally shook his head.

"You can't think like that."

"To put it bluntly, it is indeed very convenient to travel to any area there, but this is reality, not a game. In the game, I have tamed dinosaurs and it is indeed safe to rely on them. I am not afraid of death, because I can be resurrected after death. But this is not the case in reality."

Because no one was talking at this time, Chen Xuan focused all her attention on arranging various things.

It was also for this reason that he figured out a lot of things, and he also grasped some of the deviations between the game and reality.

Thinking back to where he lives now, he couldn't help but sigh. Everything about where he lives is good, the biggest flaw is that the resources are too scarce.

Not to mention the rare mineral resources, to put it bluntly, even the most basic wood has to be obtained by walking a long way.

No matter how safe such an area is, it is basically impossible to develop rapidly. Anyone who wants to develop in a short period of time cannot do without resources.

So, many places passed through his mind, such as volcanoes.

The volcanic area is considered to be the place with the richest resources, but there are too many carnivorous dinosaurs there. In fact, he also thought of a place at the foot of the volcano, near the mangrove area, where there are several very high peaks that are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

As long as I can get up there, it will be basically safe to settle down there. But the most embarrassing thing is that even if I can solve the problems of going up and down, I still can't solve the most core problem.

The core issue is that Giganotosaurus was also active in that area. To be more precise, there was a volcano not far from that area.

If you keep wandering around with this thing, maybe it will wander down.

"It doesn't work here, and it doesn't work there. In the end, it's because my strength is too weak."

He thought a lot at this moment.

After a night of thinking, he finally thought of a perfect place. This place is called the cliff. It is located along the river towards the swamp, on the mountain closest to the swamp.

It's more like a slope than a mountain.

And over there there is a protruding peak that looks like a cliff.

There is a swamp below the mountain. However, apart from a main road leading to the mountain, there are cliffs all around. As long as the surrounding area is well built, the area around the wall can be used as a home.

Moreover, the resources there are also very rich, and the most important thing is that there is a high possibility that a creature called sheep will spawn there.

In the Ark Island map, sheep are extremely rare animals, and of course they have their own advantages.

As a special creature in the Ark, mutton is second only to feed in efficiency in taming dinosaurs. If you catch two sheep, one male and one female, you can give birth to many lambs. After having sheep, it will not be a problem to tame dinosaurs in the future.

That area is rich in resources, including plants and other resources. Next to the cliff is a mountain, which contains not only crystals but also a large amount of metal. You only need to cross that swamp and tame the flying dinosaurs. Then you can easily fly to the other side to collect resources and bring them back.

To put it bluntly, the timeliness of collecting resources will also determine your development efficiency.

There are some remote places where you have to fly for a day and a night to reach the resource point to collect resources, and a round trip would take two or three days. This is definitely not feasible, and an area like that is undoubtedly the best.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to settle down there.

There are several advantages over there. The first is that it is close to the plain, and rare creatures like sheep spawn there.

The second point is that it is very close to some rare resource points.

The third point is that there is only one main road, which is relatively safe. If you guard the main road well, you don't need to worry about being harassed by other creatures. You can build a stone wall on the main road.

There is no doubt that this area is a good place to settle down. After thinking about this, he made a decision in his heart.

I spent the whole night thinking about this.

Of course, he was also keeping an eye on the situation of the Triceratops.

At this time, the Triceratops's health had dropped to a low level several times, and he replenished it with the black fruits he had prepared in advance.

Looking at his satiety level, he couldn't help but frown.

"This dinosaur's satiety is indeed decreasing a little slowly."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Because according to his calculations, it shouldn't take long to tame the Triceratops.

"In the game, if you feed berries to a level 150 Triceratops, it will take more than ten hours to tame it."

“If you use feed, it will even take less than an hour.”

"It has been almost ten hours since yesterday afternoon, but the Triceratops's satiety has only dropped by less than 10%."

"At this rate, I estimate that it will take me until tonight or tomorrow morning to tame this Triceratops."

This surprised him a little. If it wasn't for the fact that his favorite thing to do when playing games was to prepare some things in excess to ensure that nothing would go wrong, he would probably have to find a way to go out and collect black berries now.

"It seems that many things in this world cannot be considered according to the game. Many things in this world are still very different from those in the game."

"I estimate that even if we want to tame a Triceratops with feed, it will take at least a day."

What does this mean? In the game, it takes 10 to 20 times less time to tame a Triceratops using feed than using berries.

What does this mean? This means that if we calculate according to this number, it will take at least a month to tame a Triceratops with normal tools.

"This is ridiculous. It takes so long to tame it."

"But think about it. After all, if a dinosaur can be tamed so easily, then it is not a dinosaur. However, this mechanism will make it extremely difficult for ordinary survivors to survive."

"In the game, you may only need to survive for a few hours or 10 hours, not to mention how powerful you are, but at least the quality assurance is not a problem, because this time is enough for you to believe in a dinosaur. But in the real world, this time may take one or two months, and that's when the dinosaur is not attacked."

"If you encounter a powerful dinosaur on the way, you might get bitten to death by the dinosaur you just defeated or tamed."

And that’s really the point.

The difficulty is many times higher than that of the game.

"If that's the case, then things are really difficult to handle."

"At least I have to use feed when I tame dinosaurs in the future. Otherwise, who can stand such a long time?"

But none of this matters.

Because at the beginning, as long as you have the first dinosaur, it will be much easier to collect feed for the second dinosaur with the help of this dinosaur.

It is no exaggeration to say that the Triceratops is now his lifeblood.

We continued to wait and it was already afternoon.

Seeing that the Triceratops was almost full, the strong Chen Xuan took out the feed he had prepared without hesitation.

As the feed was added, the taming degree of the Triceratops began to increase at an extremely fast rate.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan was also very excited.

Then the taming degree increased directly, and then the unconscious Triceratops slowly opened its eyes and stood up. At this time, the look of the Triceratops when looking at Chen Xuan was no longer the same as before, but very docile.

After checking the properties of the Triceratops, I found that its level had reached 225.

"It's perfectly tamed."

"It's worth it that I prepared for more than a week in advance."

Looking at the Triceratops, Chen Xuan couldn't help but think in his heart.

In fact, according to the current situation, it can completely return to its home in the dark with the Triceratops, but he feels that it is completely unnecessary. After all, don't take risks that should not be taken.

Never put yourself in danger at any time, so he decided to wait until the next day to go back.

At this time, Lin Ya was extremely worried when she saw that Chen Xuan had not returned for a day and a night.

In the wooden house, he could only pray silently, hoping that Chen Xuan would come back.

She didn't know what Chen Xuan was doing outside.

However, she knew very well that this time might be related to their future. Once something happened to Chen Xuan, there would be no follow-up. But if Chen Xuan came back, she had a premonition that there would be earth-shaking changes on their side.
