MTL - Simulation: Starting From Strange Creatures-Chapter 6 Pseudo-fringed sandpiper
Chapter 6 Pseudo-fringed sandpiper
"I don't know what animal is being simulated this time?"
Now that he has decided to simulate animals, Zhao Meng no longer hesitates, and immediately starts the simulation.
At this time, the phantom fluctuated a bit,
"Extracting Animals"
"The extraction is over, the simulation that is about to enter"
Before Zhao Meng could react, his consciousness came to another world,
At the same time, that pleasant voice appeared in his ears again:
"Week 1: You hatch from an egg and you become a quasi-female fringed sandpiper!"
"Pseudofemale! Tassel Sandpiper!"
Hearing these two unfamiliar nouns,
Zhao Meng, who was just born from a bird's egg, chirped twice, expressing great doubts.
He has never heard of this animal,
"Fringed snipe, could it be said that it is the snipe in the fight between the snipe and the clam!"
"So, it should be a water bird this time!"
Zhao Meng shook his little head, but unfortunately he couldn't open his eyes at this time, and could only wait for his body to grow.
"In the second week, after being nursed by the female bird, you grew up healthy and opened your eyes!"
Zhao Meng, who just opened his eyes, looked at the world,
As birds, their daytime vision is generally better than that of humans.
Under this vantage point, he sees the presence of a large number of plants around him,
And the nest under him is hidden in the bushes,
These reed-like plants sway gently with a breeze,
Through the gaps in the plants, you can vaguely see some golden things,
"desert!"
Zhao Meng was a little surprised,
"Is this an oasis in the desert!"
Zhao Meng raised his head, wanting to continue thinking,
But under the warm sunshine, he fell asleep unknowingly,
I do not know how long it has been,
A twittering sound woke him up,
The female bird who came back to feed caused the other chicks in the nest to call,
Driven by instinct,
Zhao Meng also raised his head, chirping in response, asking for food from the female bird.
While looking up his head, he also saw the appearance of the female bird clearly
It was a taupe and not very pretty bird,
This bird is holding a worm in its mouth and stuffing it into the mouth of the chick in the nest.
If he simulates for the first time,
Faced with this situation, he might feel a little ashamed, even reserved,
After all, it is difficult to adapt to experience the growth process of a bird from a human being to a bird.
But after experiencing the last mental shock simulation,
Zhao Meng's acceptance has improved a lot,
Compared to being a chick, no matter how bad it is, it can still be compared to a hermaphrodite sea hare that needs to have a party to breed offspring,
Fringed sandpiper is much more normal than nudibranch.
"In the third week, after being nursed by the female bird, you grow up healthy and your feathers gradually plump, but at the same time you find that you seem to be different from other chicks!"
Hear the system prompt,
Zhao Meng discovered that he had grown to the third week,
And just as the system prompts,
He also found a strange place,
Generally speaking, a nest of birds should be similar,
But compared with his other brothers and sisters in the same brood, his feathers are grayer in color,
Regarding this difference, Zhao Meng thought to himself,
"Could it be a gender difference, and I don't know what gender I am this time?"
"That's right! The system has reminded me that I am a female fringed sandpiper,
From the literal meaning, I should be a male,
What is the meaning of the word "can imitate female"? "
YangMeng originally thought that his simulation this time would not be worse than the blue-spotted dorsal sea hare,
But now he had a vague premonition in his heart.
"In the fourth week, you have full wings, and the female bird taught you to fly and hunt, and you were driven away by the female bird!"
At this time Zhao Meng was catching bugs in the oasis,
He was not surprised to be chased away by the female bird,
In his previous life, when he was a commentator in the Wa Palace, during the off-season of travel, he liked to observe the animals in the mountains and forests except for playing games.
Among them, birds are the most observed,
Chicks in the nest are generally expelled after they reach sexual maturity,
Even if he is not expelled by the female bird, Zhao Meng will take the initiative to leave the nest. He still wants to complete this simulation mission,
"According to the experience of the first simulation, what conditions need to be met to be considered a successful simulation?"
Yang Meng recalled the situation of the sea hare he simulated last time, and speculated on the conditions for the success of the simulation.
"Successful reproduction? Or live to the end, or both reproduce and live..."
Just when Zhao Meng was thinking about something,
He seemed to see something from the corner of his eye, and his instinct drove it into the grass beside him quickly
"In the fifth week, you were chased by a predator, and you hid in the grass beside you. The taupe feathers became a protective color, and you escaped a disaster!"
"The sixth week, the breeding season is here, you noticed that some fringed sandpipers gathered on the small island in the oasis,
Driven by instinct, you flew to the island..."
After this period of life,
Zhao Meng has already been able to identify the male and female Tassel Sandpiper. As for the meaning of the pseudo female Tassel Sandpiper,
When Zhao Mengfei came to this gathering place, he also understood the meaning,
Like chickens and peacocks,
Among birds, males are generally more beautiful than females,
Like a rooster, a peacock with its tail open, all have beautiful appearances, while females are very ordinary.
Fringed sandpiper as a kind of bird also follows this rule,
The male Tassel Sandpiper will grow exaggerated fringed red feathers on the neck during the breeding period, while the female is just ordinary taupe.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the male and female tassel sandpipers can be identified only by their appearance.
However, in Tassel Sandpiper, this kind of judgment method is somewhat ineffective.
In Tassel Sandpiper, there is a bird that disguises itself as a woman, which is the pseudo-female Tassel Sandpiper.
As for why the male bird pretends to be a female bird,
At first, Zhao Meng thought that the male bird would rely on the appearance of the female bird to cheat other male birds to eat and drink.
But he still underestimated the lower limit of the female fringed sandpiper.
At this time, Zhao Meng had already landed on this small island in the lake.
The male fringed sandpipers on the island are running and fighting for the best breeding territory.
Zhao Meng did not join in, but was observing something,
After a rough look, Zhao Meng found that there are three kinds of tassel sandpipers here,
The handsome male,
They each occupy an area, as long as other males approach,
Immediately use kicking, grabbing, pecking and other attacks to drive away other males,
And those fringed sandpipers who cannot occupy the territory,
lingered around the territory of other tassel sandpipers, waiting for an opportunity.
As for the chance?
When a pseudo-female fringed sandpiper like Zhao Meng landed on the small island, these wandering fringed sandpipers immediately came up,
But before Zhao Meng could respond to the owner of this territory, he drove these tassel sandpipers away.
Then the owner of the territory jumped up and down in front of Zhao Meng, looking extremely hungry.
It's a pity that Zhao Meng is a male, and he can't satisfy the demands of this male bird, so he can only continue to go to the island.
