Chapter 156: Dimensionality reduction and delivery

The same-city express delivery arrived the next day.

Lu Yao opened the cardboard box, and inside was a breathable plastic box.

Inside the box were several small red insects. They were very small, with arched backs and 7 black spots on their elytra.

This was the ultimate goal that Lu Yao had finally determined: the Seven-Star Ladybug.

In the past, the things he received from the simulator in the temple were either seeds and fruits, or various tools. But animals had never been included.

Now that the pixel world had basically returned to normal, he could proceed with further experiments.

Lu Yao had considered it for a long time. As the first animal to be released into the pixel world, it was best if it was small, structurally simple, and not very aggressive, with relatively weak environmental impact.

After screening, he chose the Seven-Star Ladybug.

This small insect mainly fed on aphids, which were one of the most destructive pests, found on various crops.

In addition, the Seven-Star Ladybug was small in size. It was not as fierce as a longhorn beetle or a mantis, nor did it have the strong sociality and mobility of ants, making it a relatively suitable release target.

But it was still the first time he had released an insect, so Lu Yao was a little nervous.

Before the official bestowal, Lu Yao took a series of precautions.

In the temples of the three cities, powerful apostles were on standby: Sarina guarded Yao City, the Blood Knight presided over Salt City, and Phileas was stationed in Sanilo.

Isabella, on the other hand, served as a mobile team member, ready to support various locations at any time.

If the ladybug mutated into a monster and wreaked havoc in the area, they could immediately take action to control the situation.

...

Lu Yao picked out the smallest and slowest ladybug, and carefully placed it on the mouse.

After a moment, a dim ladybug icon appeared in the "Bestowal" column of the temple, displayed as "Unknown Ladybug," with a small green progress bar below it.

A piece of text appeared in the simulator.

"Unknown ladybug descending dimension..."

This was different from the direct appearance of plants and basic items.

The progress bar gradually brightened.

Lu Yao watched the entire process.

After about a minute, the progress bar finished loading, but there were no further developments.

Lu Yao waited for a while, then moved the mouse and found that he could click on the ladybug in the "Bestowal" column and drag it out of the temple.

He selected the ladybug and dropped it on a small island in the south, then double-clicked to release it.

A new prompt appeared on the screen.

"The unknown ladybug has entered this world."

The small ladybug immediately came to life.

It flapped its wings and crawled on the ground unsteadily. The ladybug’s body continued to swell until it was about the size of a dog, then it stabilized.

It looked harmless in the pixelated image.

Even so, Isabella closely followed the special insect, on guard against it.

Lu Yao clicked on the ladybug.

...

"Unknown Ladybug LV1"

Health: 42/42

Mana: 1/1

Damage: 2

Defense: 5

Speed: 6

"Dormant"

Can reduce various consumptions and prolong life through dormancy.

...

A new transcendent creature was born.

Lu Yao continued to track and observe.

The dormant ladybug wandered around the small island, then burrowed into a patch of bushes. After a while, it flew out and headed towards a forest.

It quickly found edible insects in the plants, ate its fill, then lay down in the thicket, displaying "Dormant" above its head.

After the experiment, Lu Yao came to a preliminary conclusion: bestowing animals was more complex than bestowing plants.

When animals from the high-dimensional space entered the pixel world of the low-dimensional space, they would undergo a process of dimensional reduction by the force of rules.

After the dimensional reduction, there would be some subtle changes. The result was that they transformed from ordinary high-dimensional life forms into transcendent life forms in the local world.

Lu Yao went to the bathroom and when he came back, he found a new prompt on the game interface.

"The unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world."

Huh?

Lu Yao clicked on the prompt.

The screen immediately jumped to a corner of the small island.

There were two firebirds pecking at the remains of the dormant ladybug on the ground. From the scattered debris, it was clear that the dormant ladybug was their prey.

Lu Yao scratched his head.

This was the first time he had encountered a failed integration.

On the other hand, the fixed-point release and even the death of animals went unnoticed by the little people in the city.

Lu Yao began to release the second ladybug.

"Unknown ladybug descending dimension..."

The progress bar ended.

...

"Unknown Ladybug LV1"

Health: 36/36

Mana: 1/1

Damage: 2

Defense: 3

Speed: 6

"Anesthesia"

Sprays a stimulating toxin to temporarily paralyze the enemy.

...

The same type of insect produced different results.

It seemed that dimensional reduction had a certain degree of randomness.

Lu Yao continued to wait.

Five minutes later.

"The unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world."Different from before, this time the anesthetic ladybugs were very aggressive, targeting the Cannibal Crabs resting on the beach right from the start. It indeed managed to anesthetize and capture one, devouring its prey.

However, during its second venture, the anesthetic ladybug was met with a righteous beatdown, leaving nothing but a pile of elytra fragments.

Lu Yao initiated the third attempt.

Another ladybug was born, but it was quickly speared by several islanders for its lethargy.

Another failure.

Lu Yao persisted until the nineteenth attempt.

Finally, a third type of ladybug was born.

...

【Unknown Ladybug LV1】

Health: 40/40

Mana: 1/1

Damage: 1

Defense: 3

Speed: 7

【Musk】

Secretes a richly fragrant special musk that makes surrounding creatures feel pleased.

...

This time, Lu Yao kept a close watch throughout.

Unlike its two predecessors, the Musk Ladybug wasn’t particularly aggressive, nor could it be considered lazy. It was like a bird with the appearance of an insect, flitting around the island, resting on trees when tired.

The ladybug attracted the Cannibal Crabs from the beach and the Fire Chickens from further inland. Both animals eyed it hungrily, but ended up fighting each other instead.

In the end, the Cannibal Crabs won with their numbers.

However, they did not attack the Musk Ladybug, instead choosing to rest in the areas where the ladybug frequented.

Gradually, the ladybug grew unafraid of them, and before long, new Musk Ladybugs were born. Lu Yao didn’t know if they were a crossbreed with other insects... In any case, the Musk Ladybug miraculously gained a foothold on this small island.

The Simulator belatedly provided a notification.

【Unknown Ladybug has successfully integrated into the world.】

You shall name it ___.

Success!

The most popular ladybug, adapted to the new world after dimension reduction.

Lu Yao named it the Musk Ladybug.

He sent the remaining ladybugs in one breath, but only a few 【Musk Ladybugs】 succeeded, all other varieties failed to integrate.

He was so tired that he twisted his wrist.

Just to introduce a single ladybug required so many attempts and so much effort.

In the myths, Nüwa molded humans from clay, crafted musical instruments, arranged marriages, and tirelessly mended the sky—she was truly dedicated...

Wait a minute.

An unstoppable thought crossed Lu Yao’s mind: Could Nüwa be a higher-dimensional player?

Just then, a new prompt suddenly appeared on the game interface.

【Shang Ji has written the first book on insects, "The Chronicles of Ladybugs."】

Shang Ji?

Wasn’t that the name of the leader of the slave traders?

Lu Yao clicked on the name in the notification bar.

The screen shifted to a nearby island.

Shang Ji’s feet were tied with ropes, picking cotton on the ground, being whipped by a young islander.

Above the head of this former slave trader, now an old man, a prayer box appeared.

"Great deity, a sinner like me dares not ask for your forgiveness. I only hope for your blessing and mercy, to safely send back the book I wrote, so that everyone can see it..."
