Chapter 1 The First Cell

Chapter One

cell

As far as the eye could see, a small figure passed by at a high speed on the blue and stable sea.

"Hehe~ A planet with no multicellular organisms, but an ocean? It's really rare. It took me a long time to find this kind of place. Now I can also have a 'creator' addiction~ Although it is only a Some primitive cells of the earth were thrown in..."

This figure has short blond hair and a cute face. It looks like a little loli. She stopped on the sea, she waved her hand gently, and a large object like water droplets fell into the sea.

"Then... add a little bit of my knowledge to a cell in it~ and... consciousness~"

"Sharin, let's go~"

There was a voice in the sky, which made Loli stunned for a moment.

"I know, come here!"

With a casual reply, she looked at the ocean again and said, "Then I'm leaving, and I'll visit you later."

"I really look forward to it, what will it evolve into...?"

Saying that, Little Loli's body slowly floated up, then turned into a ray of light and disappeared under the starry sky in the sky,

……………………………………

"Where is this? Who am I?"

This is its first thought, it is conscious, tactile, but has no sense of sight or smell, it knows by the only sense that it is in a liquid.

This piece of liquid appears to be called water.

"I'm... called a cell?"

It does not have a brain, but it knows what shape its body is. It is a thin circular membrane with a complex and precise structure in the center of the membrane, called the core. Because of the existence of this core, it can think , to move, to have life...

However, its level of thinking is limited to that, and such a small core cannot make it think too much.

"Move...find..."

It controls the outer layer of the membrane, and the outer layer suddenly swayed like a wave. This action allowed it to swim slowly in the water, looking for its only target in the boundless darkness...

food.

Food is equal to energy. With energy, there will be more knowledge, and with a larger body, it will be able to think more.

Swimming continuously, it suddenly felt that its outer membrane was touching something.

food?

It tries hard to distinguish what this object is, but there is nothing after the only information of 'soft', so only by doing this can it further understand what this object is.

Devour!

It slowly surrounded the object with a membrane, and then swallowed it into the membrane.

It felt that the object was slowly shrinking in the body, and finally disappeared, and at the same time, it felt that its body was slowly changing, and the seemingly fragile membrane around the body began to slowly strengthen and expand.

The event only lasted for a while and then disappeared, but this overwhelming feeling of fulfillment made it already know...

That was food just now, must get more... food!

Quickly swinging the outer layer of film, it soon touched an object like the one just now, and it hurriedly swallowed it again.

It's the same feeling as before, the thing swallowed in the body is slowly shrinking... This time it thought of a word.

This is called...digestion.

After swallowing two pieces of food in a row, it became a little bigger and stronger, and its speed increased, all of which means that it can find more food and obtain more energy.

Devour, devour, devour.

It almost devoured everything that felt 'soft' around it, and its body almost swelled in a large circle.

However, it is still not satisfied,

Still swimming in the water, trying to devour more food.

When it swallowed the next piece of food, its body seemed to swell to the limit. After completely digesting the food again, it did not continue to increase in size, but slowly split with the core as the center, and then completely split.

It ended up being two identical entities, with the same circular membrane, the same core, and it had completely split in two.

However, its consciousness is not divided into two.

Even if it splits into two cells, it still feels that they are like its own body, and it can manipulate these two individuals at will, just like controlling its hands.

"What are hands?"

Its thinking seems to have become richer, and the double nucleus makes it more capable of thinking, but it also has more questions.

"Speaking of which, who am I?"

"I should have a name..."

"And the name is..."

"Lin."

Don't know why, it only has this word in its mind.

"Let's call it this, Lin...it feels good"

Lin continued to move forward, and the two cells slowly swam in the water, continuing to collect food.

This means higher intelligence, more individuals, and more power.

Because Lin is now two cells, it collects food more efficiently and faster, and soon, it allows one of the cells to eat enough food and enters the stage of division.

When this cell is completely divided, it means that Lin has three individuals, three identical cells, symbolizing the existence of 'Lin'.

Lin can fully command them. Although the three cells are not connected together, commanding them is not more difficult than commanding an individual, but it feels easier.

Then, Lin had more questions, she could think about more things, and she quickly discovered the biggest problem at present.

dark.

That's right, it can't observe the situation around it. Although it can feel the surrounding liquid, it can't know the more detailed situation... Therefore, everything around is boundless darkness to Lin.

"Eye……"

The word appeared in Lin's mind, but she was unable to understand it further.

In order to understand the word, Lin began to try to devour more food, but the soft food around seemed to be almost eaten, and it planned to swim further away.

Three small cells, cells with a common consciousness, embark on a journey...

"?"

Suddenly, Lin noticed that the cell in the front seemed to have encountered something. Unlike the soft food before, this thing was very hard, but it was smaller than the previous food.

Unable to analyze what it was, Lin let one of the cells swallow the hard thing.

"...seems indigestible."

The hard thing is in one of Lin's cells, but there is no sign of shrinking at all, just floating quietly in the cell membrane.

Seems like a useless thing?

Lin didn't care so much and started looking for other food.

Nearby it found a lot of soft things like before, but no hard objects were found.

Still continuing to perform the task of phagocytosis, one of Lin's cells was filled with energy again and split.

This time, Lin had four cells, but it still felt that it was not enough, so she continued...

When the number of cells reached five, Lin's previous thoughts came out again.

would like to see...

Want to see everything outside! I don't want darkness!

When its thoughts became strong enough, the core vibrated slightly in the cell body that had eaten the hard thing before.

In the nucleus, a tentacle-like object stretched out, touching the hard object lightly, and slowly pushing it to the surface of the cell membrane.

When the hard object slightly exposed the cell membrane, a strong light broke through the darkness and poured into Lin's thoughts.
