In the courtyard, it was a hot summer day, and the blowing wind gradually subsided.

Lin Tuo could not calm down for a long time.

Over the years, due to work, although he still maintained the habit of practicing martial arts, he eventually became... lazy.

I originally thought that it would take some time to pick up the kung fu after I resigned, but I never thought... I just absorbed the ether of Yangcheng City. Not only was my whole person reborn, but I also integrated what I had learned in the past twenty years in one fell swoop, pushing the Wuzu Transformed Weapon Fist to the highest level.

The realm of small success.

"No, with the blessing of ether, this is no longer a mortal martial arts, it is almost a magic." Lin Tuo let out a fierce breath.

He felt completely comfortable, his mental state was unusually full, and his body felt light. However, he knew that the blow just now was a special situation.

If you want to reproduce it, it's not that simple. You have to spend some time to completely digest the ether stored in the body.

And this attempt also confirmed what Yanhua Sandpan said that this mysterious gas is indeed of great benefit to life.

"How much ether is there in my body now?" Lin Tuo couldn't help but ask after he calmed down.

[The host currently has ether value: 98 points]

"In the entire city of Yangcheng, out of millions of talents, only less than a hundred were produced?" Lin Tuo asked in surprise.

Immediately, Evolution Sandbox's answer came to mind:

[Collecting ether through the sandbox will cause a lot of conversion losses...]

The explanation was very long, so Lin Tuo combed through it with his eyes closed before he understood the mechanism.

To put it simply, there is not that little ether in the sky above Yangcheng, but starting the sand table to collect and transform it will cause a great loss of this energy.

In other words, most of what was absorbed was wasted in the transformation process... Lin Tuo only obtained the remaining part.

Of course, in theory, absorbing ether is not the only way to absorb ether. After mastering the breath-taking method, Lin Tuo can also directly absorb this gas through breathing.

However, that kind of efficiency is lower than that of a sand table... and it wastes a lot of time. So comprehensively speaking, it is more cost-effective to use a sand table than to practice by yourself.

"Then how can I get more ether? Can I just wait for it to slowly regenerate?"

Lin Tuo tried to ask, but just 98 points gave him such a big improvement, which no intelligent life can refuse.

According to the information he got, the natural generation of ether is very slow. It will take several days for the ether concentration in Yangcheng to recover after all the harvests are taken this time.

[Trigger keywords, put forward requirements for the host, and now provide two feasible solutions]

[Option 1: Purchase area in the mall to expand the scope of observation mode]

Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment and immediately understood the logic of this plan.

It's very simple. If ether widely exists in cities and villages, then now it can only absorb the Yangcheng range. As long as the observable city range in the sand table is expanded, it can absorb the ether of other cities.

Imagine that if one day the entire earth could be concentrated in a sandbox by purchasing area, then Lin Tuo could theoretically harvest the whole world.

"But... this won't work..." Lin Tuo thought for a while, his face a little bitter.

The price in the mall requires 1,000 points for 10,000 square kilometers, but I only have 98 points... far from enough.

Even if you spit out all the ether in your body, you still can't afford it, unless you slowly save it, and then expand the area when it reaches 1,000.

But, then I don’t know how long we have to wait...

Probably sensing his emotions, new information appeared in his mind again:

[Option 2: Use the "creative mode" of the evolution sandbox to provide new sources of ether]

"Creative mode?" Lin Tuo immediately shifted his attention to the virtual panel.

This mode is located just below "Observation Mode".

But I don't know what it means.

The next second, a large paragraph of explanation turned into a flow of information and poured into his mind.

simply put.

"Observation mode" is to observe a real area on the earth.

Then, the "creative mode" is to use the evolution sandbox to select an area on the earth and build an independently operating sandbox, or in other words, to "cut out" a certain part of the earth.

"Isolated" as an independent space.

Utilize the function of the sandbox to develop civilization from scratch and generate a new group of intelligent life forms...and then quickly harvest the ether in the sandbox world through the different flow rates of time between reality and the "sandbox".

The principle is very simple, but this function has a huge impact on Lin Tuo.

"Use a real area on the earth as a sandbox, evolve civilization in it, and harvest ether... Is it such a big deal?"

You know, this is not as simple as closing the door and creating a sandbox world by yourself.

The civilization created by Lin Tuo actually exists on earth!

Moreover, any life and matter he creates in the sandbox will exist on the earth in a ratio of 1:1.

Once the creative mode is turned on, in this information age, it will inevitably cause a global shock.

Just imagine, if Lin Tuo uses the entire Antarctica as a sandbox... then, it may only take a few dozen minutes for the news of the mysterious "disappearance" of Antarctica to spread around the world.

And once he lifts the isolation of the sandbox, humans will be shocked to find that the entire deserted Antarctic continent has turned into a different look...

How big of a stir will this cause?

Using heaven and earth as a chessboard, every move Lin Tuo makes will set off a global storm.

"Isn't there... any other, milder plan?" Lin Tuo swallowed and tried to ask.

【……】

"Well, it seems that there really isn't any, so I won't trouble you." Lin Tuo sighed, rubbed his face, and thought seriously.

Although when I first heard about this plan, I thought it was a bit outrageous, but if I think about it carefully, it is actually very feasible. Not all areas on the earth are inhabited.

It shouldn't be a big problem to use those desolate places as sandboxes... right?

Anyway, no one knows he did it.

"Why don't you try it first?"

Once this idea appeared, he could no longer contain it. After a brief hesitation, Lin Tuo returned to the old house, came to the sand table, and clicked the "Creative Mode" button on the virtual panel with his mind.

The page changes.

Yangcheng in the sand table suddenly turned into countless rays of light and disappeared.

Instead, it turned out to be a tiled world map!

Yes!

A dynamic world map appeared in the entire sand table!

However, unlike the observation mode, this map is a bit illusory, and the details cannot be seen clearly. Only a few continents and oceans around the world can be identified.

In the direction Lin Tuo was facing, the closest thing to him was the white Antarctica. Looking forward, he could see a piece of land hanging alone in the sea.

"Australia."

Lin Tuo spoke softly. Although the global map in front of him did not have text labels or territorial divisions, Australia, a continent with obvious characteristics, could still be recognized at a glance.

"If this is Australia, then the blue area to my right should be the Pacific Ocean, and to my left is the Indian Ocean..."

Lin Tuo muttered to himself, trying to identify different areas.

I have to admit that after losing the division of national boundaries, color blocks, and text marks, the world map in front of me suddenly became unfamiliar.

In comparison, only the border of China where he lived was easier to find. After all, I had seen this map too many times since I was a child.

At this time, Lin Tuo also noticed that there was a faint grid on the map that cut the global area into squares one after another.

[Creative mode is on, please select the sandbox area]

[Tip: The selected area must be less than 300,000 square kilometers]

The information appeared in his mind. Lin Tuo was stunned for a moment and understood its meaning. It was similar to the observation mode. The sandbox he wanted to create was also restricted. Currently, he could only choose a maximum of 300,000 square kilometers of land.

It is unclear whether the capacity can be expanded in the future.

"If the area is too small, I'm afraid there won't be any civilization at all, and the ether provided will be very little..." Lin Tuo thought to himself, secretly calculating, feeling that he had to make full use of the 300,000 quota as much as possible...

“Which one is better to choose?”

Lin Tuo's eyes swept across the seven continents of the world.

"Well... you can't choose a densely populated place, otherwise you will become a world-destroying demon... you can only choose an uninhabited land... Antarctica is big enough, but the location is too special and too far... Huh?"

Suddenly, when Lin Tuo's eyes swept across northwest China, he suddenly stopped.

There is the largest "no man's land" in China - Tucker Desert.

"I remember reading in a book before that the total area of ​​this desert is 330,000 square kilometers..." Thinking of this number, Lin Tuo suddenly had a thought in his mind: This is it!

The area is about the same and desolate enough.

It's right in the country, close enough to me.

Moreover, in recent years, greening projects have been carried out in China, and countless people hope that the desert will become an oasis. If this place is chosen as a sand table, it may be able to directly change the ecological environment here.
