0226 Chapter 5: Rebirth of Blood Candle Castle (Section 24)
"What's interesting is that because Senior Sabu's physique symbolizes pure chaos, the Okas she gave birth to each have different shapes." Seeing Zhen Cheng's curious expression, Misha continued to explain in detail:
“There is no genetic relationship between parents and offspring, and even the conditions for each Oka to trigger division and proliferation are as elusive as a paradox.
If you observe carefully, you will find that many apprentices from different departments in the Blood Candle Castle are raising Oka. Their pets are resold from Cai Pixiu. This girl also started hunger marketing and changed the appearance of the pets.
Special Oka fetch sky-high prices.
The solid-color original Orca you got in your hands can be sold for a sky-high price of more than 50,000 credits. As for the various other Orca, each has a very different form.
Of course, because of being in the same class, our classmates in the Department of Archeology all have a native Oka."
After Misha said that, a metallic silver tentacled cat with fuzzy facial features crawled out from the sci-fi desk in the middle of the classroom. It stretched out its tentacles in all directions, and its movements were a bit like a cat whose body has become stiff after sleeping for too long. It was so cute.
Cute.
Obviously, this Okatapus has always been living in Misha's desk. Now she specially let it show its original form in order to introduce it to Zhen Cheng and the others.
"Because Oka exists far beyond the dimensions you can perceive now, it is like Schrödinger's cat to you, somewhere between existence and non-existence.
It can be seen and touched by you, or it can disappear completely in front of you, or it can only maintain a state of 'existence' for you, the master, but block the perception of all other middle and low-dimensional creatures.
In this way, even if you need to go to various extracurricular teaching places in the world with different environments, you don’t have to worry about being misunderstood, excluded, or even panicked because there is a strange thing crawling on your shoulder.”
As Misha narrated, the metallic silver Oka settled stiffly on Misha's keyboard, rubbed it with satisfaction and fell asleep again.
In a sense, this thing is not just a name, it seems that its habits are somewhere between an octopus and a cat?
"It... sounds like a ghost. No, maybe I should say the soul behind it?" Zhen Cheng asked curiously. The little monster on his shoulder obviously understood what Zhen Cheng meant, and "meowed" aggrievedly.
"Your family used to tame ghosts, right?" Misha suddenly asked. It seemed that this mysterious senior knew more about herself than Qu Yun and Cai Pixiu, who had met several times before the world's demise.
Some?
"Compared with ghosts or ghosts, Oka has many advantages. For example, as long as you find the right contract method, no matter how you abuse them, they will never betray their master.
This alone is much safer than those ghosts who only want to destroy all living creatures all day long. What's more, even without a correct contract, they are essentially relatively harmless existences.
In addition, raising ghosts requires a very harsh preservation environment and a unique method of sublimation, which is usually at the expense of one's own combat potential.
On the contrary, Okataps are probably one of the best things to feed in all the worlds. They don’t have as picky taste buds as their mother, Shubun-senpai, and they will eliminate most of the creatures except women as soon as they come up.
.
For Oka, they can eat anything as long as it is not alive. And as long as it can fit into their mouth, they don't care how much they eat.
Ore, soil, corpses, nuclear waste, enemy bullets, detonators that light fuses, physical curses...all are delicacies on their feed list. How about it? Do you find it particularly convenient?
Of course, except for a few mutant species with special abilities, their eating speed is about the same as that of ordinary cats. Don’t expect your Oka to eat a passage across the planet to escape in a critical moment.”
Zhen Cheng nodded silently. As a former detective, she knew all too well how troublesome it was to dispose of a body without leaving any trace.
Looking at the current situation in this weird Blood Candle Castle Archeology Department class, I am afraid that there will be many occasions when I need to deal with corpses in the future.
When the time comes to be thrown into an unfamiliar world for extracurricular teaching, she will not have the same status as in her hometown that is above all the rules of the world, and she will have to learn to solve all the detailed problems by herself.
"The above is the 'trash can' function of Oka Taps. Last but not least, as high-dimensional species, Oka have a wonderful connection with each other.
For them, as long as they do not enter some special places, such as Ms. Mediana's dream, no matter how many universes you travel through, they can establish a communication channel with each other as if they were face to face.
As the owners of Oka, we can also communicate with each other through this connection.
Some mages from the Tree of Life School are specializing in studying the habits of Oka Taps. They have discovered that the communication network of Oka has certain rules.
For example, all Okas of the same level can contact each other at the same time under the owner's instructions, building a communication network platform called Oka Neurons in the fourth dimension, that is, the owner's consciousness.
More advanced Okas can be backward compatible, but parallel or reverse ones cannot be actively connected. For example, our Okas are both native bodies, and they can apply to each other to build a communication network at any time.
But my Oka proliferates offspring, and the offspring generate new offspring. For these individuals, you cannot make network connections at the conscious level.
As for the top layer of this network, it is said that [Feast of Joy] Sabu Gratoni can dream of all the Oka neurons in her sleep, which is the rational thinking that constructs her chaotic body, which should not exist.
The foundation of the Internet.
Please remember this rule, it may help you with some actions in the future.
Another interesting thing is that Okataps are not essentially living creatures, but the physiological phenomena of the ancient gods of chaos. Therefore, their own shapes are not determined by genes, but come from the imagination of the ancient gods.
Once a pet contract is signed in the correct way, the owner's consciousness and imagination will gradually affect their bodies, and they will eventually become more and more like their owners in a certain sense.
As the unique culture of Blood Candle Keep, many apprentices and even masters take it as a hobby to cultivate their pets Oka into various interesting forms.
There is a master of the tree of life school who discovered the method of proliferation and reproduction of Oka himself, and even raised more than two thousand of them by himself for research."
Hearing this, Zhen Cheng suddenly remembered the entertainment methods of some elderly people in his ancestral home.
They like to hand-string walnuts and other artifacts, and hold them in their hands all day long until they are shiny and shiny, and their appearance has completely changed.
It sounds like the method of "panning" Oka is popular here in Blood Candle Castle?
