Intra-city express delivery will arrive the next day.

Lu Yao opened the carton and found a small breathable plastic box inside.

There are several small red insects in the box. They are small in size, have an arched back and are scoop-shaped, and have 7 black spots on their elytra.

This is Lu Yao's final goal: the seven-star ladybug.

In the past, the things he gifted to the temple through the simulator were either seeds and fruits, or various tools.

But animals have never been there.

Now that the pixel world has basically returned to calm, further experiments can be carried out.

Lu Yao thought about it for a long time.

As the first animal to be released into the pixel world, it is best to be smaller in size, simpler in structure, less aggressive, and less destructive to the environment.

After a round of screening, he settled on the seven-star ladybug.

This small insect mainly feeds on aphids, and aphids are one of the most destructive pests. Aphids are on the diet of various crops.

In addition, the seven-spotted ladybug is smaller in size. It is not as fierce as beetles and praying mantises, nor does it have the strong sociality and mobility of ants, so it is a more suitable target.

But after all, it was the first time to release insects, so Lu Yao was still a little nervous.

The garlic, wheat, and grapes were all normal before, but this time it's hard to say. It's theoretically possible to mutate into a super monster after entering.

Before the formal gift, Lu Yao took a series of safeguard measures.

In the temples of the three cities, there are powerful apostles standing ready: Salina is stationed in Yao City, the Blood Knight is stationed in Yancheng, and Philus is stationed in Sanilo.

Isabel is a mobile team member, ready to support various places at any time.

Once the ladybugs mutate into monsters and wreak havoc around them, they can immediately take control of the situation.

…

Lu Yao grabbed the smallest and slowest ladybug and carefully placed it on the mouse.

After a while, a dim ladybug icon appeared in the [Gift] column of the temple, which was displayed as [Unknown Ladybug], and there was a small green progress bar below it.

A paragraph of text appears in the simulator.

[Unknown ladybug is reducing dimensionality...]

This is different from plants and basic props appearing directly.

The progress bar becomes brighter little by little.

Lu Yao paid attention to the whole process.

About a minute later, the progress bar finished reading, but there was no follow-up.

Lu Yao waited for a while, moved the mouse, and found that he could click on the ladybug in [Gift] and drag it out of the temple.

He selected the ladybug, landed on a small southern island, and then double-clicked to release it.

A new prompt pops up on the screen.

【Unknown ladybug enters this world.】

The little ladybug immediately came to life.

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

Under the pixelated screen, it looks harmless to humans and animals.

Even so, Isabel followed closely behind it, watching out for this special insect.

Lu Yao clicks the mouse on the ladybug.

…

【Unknown ladybug LV1】

HP:42/42

Mana:1/1

Damage: 2

Defense:5

Speed:6

【Sleep】

Through hibernation, you can reduce various consumption and extend your life.

…

A new kind of extraordinary creature was born.

Lu Yao continued to follow and observe.

The dormant ladybug circled around the island, then got into a bush. After a while, it flew out again and ran towards a forest.

It seemed as if it found edible bugs in these plants. It quickly filled its stomach and then lay down in the bushes with [dormant] displayed above its head.

After experiments, Lu Yao came to a preliminary conclusion: gifted animals are more complex than plants.

When high-dimensional animals enter the low-dimensional pixel world, they will go through a process of dimensionality reduction by the power of rules.

After dimensionality reduction, there will be some subtle changes. The result is reflected in the transformation from ordinary high-dimensional life to local extraordinary creatures.

Lu Yao went to the toilet and when he came back, he found an additional prompt on the game interface.

[Unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world.]

Um?

Lu Yao clicked on the prompt.

The screen immediately jumped to a corner of the island.

There are two turkeys here, pecking at prey on the ground. Judging from the scattered remains, the prey is dormant ladybugs.

Lu Yao scratched his head.

This is the first time I have encountered a failure to integrate.

On the other side, the little believers in the city are completely unaware of the targeted release of animals, or even their death.

Lu Yao started to release the second ladybug.

[Unknown ladybug is reducing dimensionality...]

The progress bar ends.

…

【Unknown ladybug LV1】

HP:36/36

Mana:1/1

Damage: 2

Defense:3

Speed:6

【anaesthetization】

Sprays irritating toxins, temporarily paralyzing the enemy.

…

The same kind of insects, but different results.

It seems that dimensionality reduction has a certain degree of randomness.

Lu Yao continued to wait.

five minutes later.

[Unknown ladybug failed to integrate into the world.]

Different from the previous one, this time the anesthetized ladybug was very aggressive and immediately targeted the man-eating crabs resting on the beach. It indeed successfully captured one and preyed on it by relying on anesthesia.

But during the second operation, the anesthetized ladybug was beaten by a righteous group, leaving only fragments of elytra on the ground.

Lu Yao started his third attempt.

Another ladybug was born, and soon it was killed by several islanders with spears because of its lethargy.

Failed again.

Lu Yao tried the nineteenth one in a row.

Finally a third species of ladybug was born.
