Prehistoric Evolution: Your Uncle Crocodile Makes a Stunning Appearance

Chapter 5: Your Tyrannosaurus Rex Uncle Gets a Top-Tier Single-Character ID! And He's Even Sele

Gazing at that wildest and most primitive era in the sky, Wang Lin remained silent, but his eyes shone with excitement.

As a fan of evolution games, I've played Arknights for over a thousand hours, and I'm still not tired of it.

Now I finally have the opportunity to practice.

He can now choose any dinosaur and watch it gradually evolve into its most powerful form.

And if you ask about the most powerful dinosaur, it has to be your Uncle Tyrannosaurus Rex.

That's right, it's that cold-blooded killer who can't take off manually!

Although the Tyrannosaurus Rex was nerfed drastically by the developers later on, it still managed to get a top-tier single-character ID! And it even made it into the Chinese Zodiac, which is incredibly awesome...

Putting aside the jokes, Tyrannosaurus Rex was indeed the undisputed overlord of the Jurassic period.

So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Wang Lin felt he would choose the Evodia ceratops, a choice that no one else favored.

After all, the image of the Evodrome took up an entire screen during the loading animation.

With medium-sized dinosaurs already established, others would likely not even consider choosing this small dinosaur.

Compared to the Triassic period, Wang Lin's favorite period is the Jurassic period.

This was the last hurrah of the dinosaur dynasty, and also the most exciting era for countless biological historians.

In this era, the dinosaur dynasty brought hunting and evolution to their fullest potential, showcasing the most primal wildness!

Although they did not survive to the end, their existence is enough to prove that Earth can cultivate all kinds of top predators!

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned.

The heavens were bored and decided to play rock-paper-scissors with the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs only knew how to choose scissors, so they were smashed to pieces by the heavens' fists...

A small, inexplicable meteorite shattered the dream of the dinosaur dynasty's revival.

From that point on, the dinosaur dynasty fell completely, and mammals officially rose to prominence.

Of course, none of this is relevant to the current version.

If the planner doesn't have any other requirements, then he'll have to start looking for the Primal Raptor.

The scene shifts, and the screen continues to display images of the early Triassic period.

The crimson earth stretched as far as the eye could see, its cracked surface resembling a giant spider web extending to the horizon.

Occasionally, a few tenacious ferns would sprout from the cracks, their leaves grayish and covered in dust.

In the distance, a low volcano is emitting smoke, the black plume of smoke rising crookedly into the sky like a cigarette about to go out.

A dried-up riverbed meanders through the desert, with only a shallow layer of mud remaining at the bottom. Several palm-sized Triassic lizards lie in the mud to cool off, their tongues lolling out and their eyes glazed over.

There weren't even any birds in the sky—there weren't any birds in this era.

Only occasionally do giant dragonflies fly by, their wings flapping with a muffled buzzing sound, like a small drone swooping overhead.

This is what it looked like in the early Triassic period.

It was desolate, arid, and unbearably hot.

But in this barren land, there is a creature that lives quite comfortably.

Looking at the countless water dragon beasts covering the sky and the ground, Wang Lin couldn't help but take a few more glances.

This thing looks really abstract.

Its round body resembled an uninflated rugby ball, with ridiculously short legs and a belly that almost dragged on the ground.

With a small head, a flat mouth, and two prominent front teeth, it looks like a fat hippo that has been compressed.

The funniest thing is their eyes—dull, blank, as if they're about to drool.

The Water Dragon Beast's walking style is also unique; its four short legs move incredibly fast, but its body remains almost motionless, like a refrigerator on wheels moving slowly.

A group of water dragons crowded around the edge of a mud puddle to drink water, their buttocks sticking up high, their tails as short as rabbits', wagging back and forth.

As Wang Lin watched, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

He knows this stuff very well.

A survivor of the Permian-Triassic extinction event, a street urchin from the Early Triassic, he ate wherever he went, known for his carefree attitude.

Other species are all vying for dominance—for size, speed, and combat power.

The water dragon beast does not coil.

All it does is eat, sleep, and reproduce.

And guess what happened?

Other species disappeared after being rolled up, but the Lystrosaurus survived until the middle of the Triassic period.

Is this the legendary "As long as I lie down fast enough, the involution can't catch up with me"?

Inside the online research team on Dragon Kingdom Blue Star, a group of scientists were frantically recording the images on the light screen.

Looking at the comically shaped water dragon beast, Old Li suddenly screamed:

"Isn't this the Waterdramon we least expected from the last version? We can't believe it's still alive! This is unbelievable!"

His glasses almost fell off, and he frantically tried to catch them, his eyes wide open.

"If I remember correctly, the Waterdramon is a herbivore. Did we make the wrong choice?"

Another scientist frowned, his fingers tapping rapidly on the table.

"That's not entirely true. It could just be an isolated case. Personally, I still think that carnivorous dinosaurs are the correct answer."

"But this water dragon is alive and well."

A female researcher interjected, "Should we try selecting it this time? Maybe it can live indefinitely!"

"Let's see if there are any other options?"

The staff members had differing opinions.

Some support choosing carnivorous dinosaurs, arguing that "the strong will always be strong."

Some supported choosing the Water Dragon Beast, arguing that "survival is the only thing that matters."

Some have already started arguing.

"What do you know? Herbivores are just there to feed others!"

"Why haven't all the water dragons been eaten yet? Explain yourself!"

"That's...that's just good luck!"

"You think you can live for millions of years if you're lucky? Show me your luck!"

"..."

The meeting room was in complete chaos.

Although species selection is mainly done by civilization observers, the Dragon Kingdom received some rewards for their previous victories, which allowed them to contact Wang Lin and offer some advice.

Of course, whether Wang Lin listens or not depends on his mood.

But everyone has their own tasks to do, so they are extremely busy right now.

Every time a new species appears during the loading animation, they are busy recording and analyzing whether or not to select that species.

Some scientists are studying the skeletal structure of the Lystrosaurus with magnifying glasses, some are calculating the bite force of the Southern Crossosaurus, and others are debating whether the flight ability of pterosaurs counts as air superiority.

Perhaps the designers knew that there weren't many species to choose from in the early Triassic period, so they set the timeline in the Late Triassic Carnian stage.

During this period, small dinosaurs were just beginning to show their prowess, but each one looked extremely fierce and seemed poised to win, which left researchers in a dilemma.

Looking at Wang Lin, who hadn't said much from beginning to end, the staff felt that he must be very conflicted right now.

After all, this is a major event that will determine the fate of the nation; who wouldn't be conflicted in this situation?

But what they didn't know was—

Wang Lin wasn't even bothered by it.

He was just thinking about one thing.

What should he eat when he gets hungry later?

Are you planning to provide boxed meals?
