Chapter 366: Forgetting the Old Template, Loading the New Template
[You used the "Red Wyvern Elder's Free Flight Voucher".]
[You successfully modified the activation permissions for "Adventurers' New Dinosaur Century", replacing the main storyline with an extra dungeon. Under this format, main quest settlements will not occur.]
[You loaded the relevant save file for "Adventurers' New Dinosaur Century"...]
[Dungeon import complete.]
[Under the influence of unknown factors, dinosaurs and all ancient creatures worldwide have undergone genetic mutations, acquiring powerful abilities beyond human comprehension. Furthermore, some individual dinosaurs have evolved brains similar to those of highly intelligent beings, initially breaking free from primitive social patterns, and simultaneously displaying intense hatred towards human populations.
The emergence of this situation caused a huge uproar among the existing human population. Due to concerns about a survival crisis and the increasingly frequent attacks by superpowered dinosaurs on human settlements, the "Dinosaur Protection Association"'s voice gradually weakened, while "Dinosaur Hunting" progressively became the mainstream consensus in human society.
As the most adaptable species in a certain sense, humans have gradually adapted to the attacks of superpowered dinosaurs and, through the hunting of superpowered dinosaurs and subsequent material processing, have indirectly acquired some abilities to contend with them.
And you, as a third-party force that has forcefully entered the fray, will cause an even more drastic upheaval in this New Dinosaur Century, whose pattern has already undergone a dramatic change.]
[Dungeon Blueprint: Adventurers' New Dinosaur Century (Cadillacs and Dinosaurs + MapleStory)]
[Dungeon Modifiers: Independent Dungeon — This dungeon will only contain you and your teammates. Other players will not be able to enter through conventional means.
Climatic Cataclysm — Omitted.
Cataclysmic Reconstruction — Previously omitted. Under normal circumstances, players are allowed to use various technological creations and biotechnological creations normally. However, equipment, items, and skills related to the mystic side, such as magic, talismans, and immortal arts, will be restricted, with their overall power reduced to 20% of their original strength; but if the mystic item used contains "Superpowered Dinosaur Material," its power and effect will be adjusted back to 100%.
New Dinosaur Century — The dynamic between humans and dinosaurs has been redefined, with both sides generally exhibiting a state of mutual hostility and hunting. Forces related to the "Dinosaur Protection Association" have been forced underground, beginning covert operations; while forces related to the "Dinosaur Research Institute" and "Dinosaur Hunting Squads" have moved above ground, beginning normal operations.]
[Dungeon Difficulty: C+ ~ ?]
[Dungeon Mission: You and your teammates can move freely within the dungeon. You will have a maximum dungeon stay time equivalent to your current space remaining time.
Holy Grail Mission: Not triggered.]
[Achievement list has been opened. Please check it yourself.]
The scene in his eyes gradually changed from silver-white to azure blue, a blue where the sky and sea echoed each other.
Cheng Tian and Irene both had relevant save files, so when they entered the dungeon, they retained their spawn point, both appearing in New York City, and precisely in a safe spot where they could observe the collapse of the Twin Towers and the Statue of Liberty from a distance, without being submerged by water.
It must be said that Cheng has a real connection with New York, or rather, wherever the American region is involved as a game scene, it mostly cannot escape this iconic city.
And this actually has nothing to do with Cheng Tian; didn't the native Americans also frantically destroy New York in various movies and TV shows?
Cheng Tian himself, however, noticed a rather interesting detail: as someone with both the "911" and "Enemy of America" titles, he did not trigger a mandatory faction hostile state in this Cadillacs and Dinosaurs spin-off dungeon, unlike in Armored Warriors!
This probably means that the concept of the country "America" might have largely disintegrated during five or six hundred years of underground living, and anyone who still had an attachment to the word America had long since died out.
Or, more directly, America was founded less than three hundred years ago, and these humans of the New Dinosaur Century have lived underground for over five hundred years; even if it's still called "America," it has nothing to do with the past.
And the Statue of Liberty and the Twin Towers, already submerged and completely unusable, made no difference to them whether they existed or not.
However, just as Cheng Tian was lamenting the relentless passage of time, a panel that completely mimicked his phone popped up directly in front of him, even simulating a ringtone and vibration.
Cheng Tian swiped the answer button, and then the voice of the bald butcher came through, clearly crude but deliberately lowered, trying to sound a bit official.
"Hello? Is this Boss Cheng? Do you still buy dinosaur remains?"
...Hmm? What does this mean?
First, full of confusion, and then suddenly realizing something, Cheng quickly opened his panel, clicked directly on the history panel, and scrolled the record back to when he used "Water of Styx."
[Detected that you used the special item "Water of Styx".]
[You chose to forget the temporarily loaded template "Taichi Swordsman / Azure Star".]
[Game Expert is reactivating—]
[You successfully loaded the reinforced protagonist template from the "Jurassic World: Evolution" blueprint — "Hammond's Innovation Lab".]
[Hammond's Innovation Lab: Reinforced protagonist template, the template blueprint is the core building of "Jurassic World: Evolution". As the most core existence capable of bringing "Jurassic Park" back to the world, Hammond's Innovation Lab bears the most arduous task of resurrecting dinosaurs, but beings who can choose to play with genes are usually not so conventional. While trying to resurrect ancient creatures by all means, you are also trying to create more perfect beings.
When you choose to load the "Hammond's Innovation Lab" template—
You will simultaneously acquire the template-exclusive item "Portable Laboratory".
You will simultaneously acquire the template-exclusive skills "Genetic Gene Collection", "Ancient Creature Incubation", "Genetic Gene Group Modification", and "Genetic Gene Group Hybridization".
This character template will not affect the main body and does not require loading and unloading.]
[Due to the high compatibility between the "Hammond's Innovation Lab" template you loaded and the dungeon scene and background setting of "Adventurers' New Dinosaur Century", you will influence and draw out some hidden forces, and can trigger certain special plots.]
[Due to your first servant "Orangutan Utan" having already changed profession to "Biological Research Ape" and his research direction being "Ancient Creature Gene Fusion", Orangutan Utan will provide additional enhancement bonuses to your template skills, and can also use some related template skills.]
