A Work by The Smile of Three Hundred Catties

In fact, humans are very strange creatures. Some people, after countless years, even reaching their forties or fifties, remain naive, ignorant, and still have significant problems in their social interactions. It's not that time hasn't matured them; it's simply how some people mature. Others, inherently intelligent, become remarkably astute after experiencing numerous events and hardships.

Chen Wenshan, known as "Akina Mountain Speed," belongs to this latter category. Although he's still a joyful and somewhat silly character, he has become exceptionally intelligent, a prodigy blessed by fate. Even the subsequent "Little Brain Tiger Descends the Mountain" incident left him with a contingency plan to assist him.

Xu Zhi couldn't help but laugh. "Mainly, this goofy character is just too darn active! For two hundred years, he's been constantly seeking trouble and acting wildly. If he hadn't become smarter, he would have been beaten to death a long time ago!"

"Then there's another type of person who lives a long time but doesn't necessarily become smarter; instead, they become powerful in a specific domain, like the Alchemy Emperor..." This type falls into the category of "tech geeks." It's natural that a researcher who has spent hundreds of years holed up in an alchemy lab, climbing the tech tree, wouldn't become particularly sinister.

At this moment, the voice of the Zerg Queen's sub-brain came through: "Wizard Community, should open beta begin?"

Xu Zhi thought for a moment, put down his beer, and closed his laptop. "Yes, let's open it. Tomorrow morning at 6:30 AM, the 'Wizard Community' will officially begin its open beta. Let them cultivate! They have so much energy; it's time for them to experience the solitude of becoming a wizard... Well, we'll see what kind of game it turns into after it opens."

"And this grand sandbox of the first world has developed quite maturely; it may not even require my interference and can develop on its own... It's time to begin constructing the second grand sandbox, a new world."

Xu Zhi raised an eyebrow. "The second grand world, the second human race, is almost ready to be created."

Speaking of the human race, the players in the "Origin of Life in Ten Thousand Realms" central evolution sandbox are truly disappointing. After waiting for so long, there are all sorts of strange creatures, but not a single intelligent humanoid species. But they can't be entirely blamed. For intelligent beings, the biological structure of a "wise brain" cannot be simply deduced through the theory of species evolution; it is a unique miracle in life's evolution. Even the emergence of intelligent species like us on Earth was originally an accident.

"It seems I'll have to create an intelligent species, like the Zerg Apes, to be the protagonists of the new world era," Xu Zhi mused. "Last time, I created physically strong apes. Hmm! This time, I'll create small, slender monkeys." Xu Zhi's expression was serious. He had no intention of using human genes; after all, it felt quite unsettling, psychologically hard to stomach.

He quietly considered the geographical location for the new world sandbox. "Leasing another plot of land isn't impossible... but it would result in homogenization with the current grand sandbox. What I want is a different world form." Everyone experiences fifty years of day and fifty years of night. Such an environment would be too monotonous. He wanted a completely different and fascinating world, one that could give rise to a distinct transcendent civilization.

"But how can I avoid this?" Xu Zhi raised an eyebrow. "A hundred years per day – this time flow rate is the maximum at which biological civilizations can develop intelligence and thought; it's difficult to adjust." Under this time flow rate, simply accelerating it on the surface would result in fifty years of day and fifty years of night... Xu Zhi's mind suddenly stirred. "What if it's not on the surface, but underground?"

He looked at the area directly beneath the hundred-acre sandbox. If it were shaped like the character '吕' (lü), with one part on the surface and one part underground, perhaps it could work? Xu Zhi's mind raced, filled with excitement. He picked up a pen and paper, eager to record his ideas, and began to sketch on a fresh sheet, creating a new world.

"A magnificent, vast underground world spanning a hundred acres? New rules, an unprecedented worldview." Xu Zhi held his pen, contemplating if this was the best option within his current capabilities. In fact, an underwater world, where the entire world is submerged, would also be quite good. But that would be too difficult to manage; in reality, it would require a tremendous amount of work. Perhaps this underground world is currently the best solution.

"But underground, it would be pitch black. How would I provide light? What about no sun?" Xu Zhi thought for a moment, then suddenly chuckled, remembering a certain phoenix that had been thoroughly beaten. "Don't I have a ready-made sun right here?" The knock-off Golden Crow, the Sun God! Xu Zhi felt this idea had great potential.

"With the world framework set, what about the human race? What creature should I use to fuse with the monkeys' blood?" Last time, he casually chose a beetle to fuse with the ape's blood. This time, however, choosing a Zerg creature is a problem. "With the previous lesson learned, I can't just pick another beetle to fuse with this time. This species should ideally come with a first genetic talent..." For creatures like the Zerg Apes, it was extremely difficult, every aspect...
