Wasteland Development Diary

Zhou Yi looked at the puppet: "Are you sure? The electric cat is that terrifying claw thing?"

"Absolutely sure. I've been to the Spark Plains, and I've dealt with those monsters. I won't mistake them."

Overhead Duke was very certain: "Terrifying Claws flash and shuttle across the plains, and their claws can pierce through any substance there. If you don't wear the appropriate equipment or have special physical abilities, going there is just asking for death."

"The first time I went to the Spark Plains, it was to find someone hiding there. That's when I saw the Terrifying Claws. They were so fast they were impossible to catch, like flashing electricity and lightning on the ground. The reason the entire plain is a plain is because the stones and trees were pierced by them as they ran."

"I was lucky that time, and I only encountered a few Terrifying Claws, so the trip went smoothly."

He recalled, "Years later, I went to the Spark Plains a second time to buy something at the black market there."

"In the Spark Plains, once you use your own abilities, it will cause an increase in body temperature, pressure, and other aspects, attracting a siege from the Terrifying Claws, making it easy to be pierced and killed."

"But that time at the black market, an A-grade cold weapon, [White Widow], appeared. This thing was made by the Weapon Master and can directly attack and penetrate consciousness bodies. If you are injured by it, you will fall into mental confusion and may even become demented. Even Skywalkers are the same."

"So that time was very lively, and almost everyone at the black market gathered at the auction stall..."

Zhou Yi was a little puzzled: "Why would an A-grade weapon made by the Weapon Master be thrown into the black market to be sold?"

"Good weapons need to be tested in actual combat."

Overhead Duke explained, "The Weapon Master will put the weapons they make into the market and test them through suitable holders to get feedback in order to further upgrade and innovate."

"It's just that there are very few of these, and each one is worth a fortune."

"[White Widow] appeared on the market without warning, causing two Skywalkers to compete for it, using their abilities to influence the transaction, and then the Terrifying Claws appeared."

"Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing happens from time to time. As long as you escape from there in time, you can avoid being chased by those monsters... But that time was different."

"What came was not only Terrifying Claws, but also Spark Swordsmen."

Overhead Duke's pair of painted wooden eyeballs focused on the electric ball in Zhou Yi's hand.

"Spark Swordsmen are composed of flashing and flowing sparks, wielding a greatsword of sparks. They are a higher-level life form than Terrifying Claws. It is rumored that they are the rulers of the Terrifying Claws and are rarely seen."

"When the Spark Swordsman appeared at that time, it directly blasted the two Skywalkers into sparks. Everyone in the black market was fleeing frantically."

"I chose to stay put and survived the disaster. But those who used their abilities and props to escape immediately were instantly pierced and turned into electric sparks on the plain. [White Widow] also disappeared."

Zhou Yi couldn't help but think.

The Electric Orb can evolve into an electric cat. As an electric cat, a Terrifying Claw, can it go a step further and transform into a Spark Swordsman again?

Regardless of whether it works or not.

This has to be tried.

He looked at Overhead Duke: "In other words, the Spark Swordsman is a Light Core Entity."

"No. At least the Spark Swordsman I saw was not, just at the Skywalker level. In terms of absolute strength, it is not as good as those Light Core Entity Terrifying Claws."

Overhead Duke shook his head.

"Since they are all Skywalkers... between the same ranks, can they really kill instantly just by relying on their own abilities?"

Zhou Yi was very curious about this.

Based on his own combat experience in the wasteland, even if he used [Life Strike], he sometimes couldn't accurately calculate the damage and might not be able to kill someone with one punch. Moreover, this has to be at close range, on the premise that the other party can't dodge.

Skywalkers are not wooden stakes that can be nailed to the ground and beaten.

"Very difficult. Very, very rare in actual combat."

Overhead Duke said, "The Spark Swordsman can call upon the Terrifying Claws. All Terrifying Claws are its weapons."

"Originally, these Spark Plains lifeforms moved freely. Even if they gathered in groups, they wouldn't penetrate a single point. But with the leadership of the Spark Swordsman, they will attack in groups and release their true power."

Zhou Yi thoughtfully said, "The Spark Swordsman can command electric cats to fight."

"Not bad."

Overhead Duke said, "Afterward, I asked the surviving black market merchants there. They said that the Spark Swordsman used to be a Light Core Entity, but they don't know why, but now it has become weaker and has fallen to the Skywalker level."

"Before, the Spark Swordsman would mostly catch some Terrifying Claws that were different from the group. Those who attacked their own kind would be eliminated by it. For outsiders who influenced or even wanted to capture the Terrifying Claws, it would kill them all, and even slaughter all the other lifeforms on the entire plain, and it could do this just with its sword."

"But this time, the Spark Swordsman's style is different, more like it is helping the Terrifying Claws."

Zhou Yi immediately realized: "Has the Spark Swordsman been replaced?"

"That's what they think too. They suspect that the past Spark Swordsman has left or died, and a new Spark Swordsman has been born."

Overhead Duke's eyeballs turned and looked at Zhou Yi: "We can boldly assume that the Spark Swordsman was born from the electric cats. In other words, theoretically, it is possible to cultivate a Spark Swordsman here."

Zhou Yi frowned: "Is there any definite information?"

"Yes."

The puppet boy slowly said, "There will be arcs of electricity on the Spark Swordsman, connected to every electric cat, which can directly control them to launch a wide range of attacks. This alone is enough to prove their close relationship."

"In addition, there were no Spark Swordsmen in the Spark Plains at first. At that time, there were only Light Core Entity electric cats. They would fight and compete for territory internally, but after many large-scale battles, one Light Core Entity electric cat killed the other competitors and became the king of the plains."

"But soon it also disappeared."

"The Spark Swordsman also appeared for the first time at this time."

"I believe this is enough to explain the relationship between the two."

Overhead Duke moved his nimble wooden fingers: "The locals in the Spark Plains believe that a certain opportunity is needed to evolve into a Spark Swordsman, but this belongs to the secrets of the electric cats. It seems that you may have a chance to crack this secret."

"This information is the experience I gained at a great cost and personally experienced. It is my early investment in the electric cats."

"If the technology is mature, I need to be the first to obtain electric cats and the corresponding cat-raising technology."

Zhou Yi immediately promised: "No problem. I will try to explore in this direction."

...

After Overhead Duke left, Zhou Yi looked at the two cat raisers.

"You've heard the situation. The next evolutionary direction of the electric cat is likely to be the Spark Swordsman, but currently, we still need to be steady and increase the number of electric cats, and first develop their existing abilities."

The robot Yu Ai and the Pandaren Tuozhu both said yes.

The cat-raising business is steadily advancing.

A few days later, the second and third curved houses were also built on the coast of Wyvern Bay, also covered with mud-sculpted pyramid disguises.

The two cat raisers are busy every day.

Zhou Yi goes to see the scene once a day.

Most ⊥ New ⊥ Small ⊥ Said ⊥ In ⊥ Six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ Book ⊥⊥ Bar ⊥⊥ First ⊥ Hair!

He soon discovered that there are also differences between electric cats.

The earliest Thunderbolt No. 5 has a gentle personality. Although it crawls on people, it is very friendly.

But the electric cat Thunderbolt No. 6 is irritable and active. It loves to bite people, as if being poked by electric sparks, there is a clear sense of pain.

No. 6 bites people, but its desire to fight is stronger. When commanded by the electric cat staff, it will be particularly excited, and the power of the electric shock it releases is stronger than No. 5, which can be said to be a congenital warrior bloodline.

The newly cultivated No. 7 is a lazy cat.

It likes to squat quietly on the cat raiser's shoulder or head, completely motionless. The whole form is also very clear, it is a cat's head composed of electric arcs, with two triangular pointed ears, and a grinning mouth composed of electric arcs.

You touch it, and it doesn't bother to move.

Tuozhu said: "This guy has such a personality and is relatively lazy. However, its size and strength are actually the highest among the three electric cats."

Zhou Yi adopted this cat.

The most special place is.

No. 7 is the only individual among the three electric cats that can communicate.

No. 5 and No. 6 are both in a state of chaos, and their behavior is highly dependent on instinct.

Even if the consciousness is on the same frequency, there is no response.

Only No. 7 will reply.

Zhou Yi's first sentence was: "Can you hear me?"

No. 7 said: "Of course, I'm not a fool."

It seems to have a certain intelligence from birth.

Zhou Yi plays with the electric ball every day when he is free and chats with the electric cat.

"Why don't you like to move around? Electric cats like to run around."

"Too lazy to move, running costs a lot of energy. Anyway, as long as I stay, you will feed me electricity, so I don't have to look for electricity everywhere. Why run around?"

It is very clear-headed.

"Why do you feed us electricity? Either you are our slaves, or you are our masters. Which one are you?"

Zhou Yi asked back: "What do you think?"

"You are very strong. You have a very high energy reaction on your body. I can't beat you. You should be my master. But others are hard to say."

The electric cat is very sensible.

Since he adopted this cat, Zhou Yi decided to give it a formal name.

"From today, your name is Pikachu."

"Understood."

Pikachu said: "Then what should I do?"

"Charge well."

"And then?"

"I haven't figured it out yet. Can you evolve further?"

"It's possible, but I'm not sure. I also feel vague about many things and don't understand them very well."

Pikachu is still in the B-level life state.

It is currently still in the development period.

Just when Zhou Yi was focusing on raising cats, the Red Falcon said one day: "Zhou, a guest claiming to represent the Weapon Master has come to visit and wants to see you."
