Chapter 14: Conditioning

Tens of thousands of color-changing scales are assembled in an artificial sky, like waves when changing color, reversing from the end of the horizon in order, passing over my head and rushing to the other side. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The sunset in the artificial weather gradually disappeared behind the mountains.

Night is slowly falling.

Although it is a natural experimental ground for artificial breeding, it is like a wild forest, and the light source that can be relied on in the middle of the night is not only the false moonlight hanging high, but the leaves of the giant trees that have been piled up with all their might, and the orange campfire that has been lit in front of the little red carbon.

"Since you're going to complete that 'Taming Challenge', you first review for me how to define the master-slave relationship in the beast world, and by the way, test if you remember, cough cough. 」

It was quite cold after nightfall in the wilderness, where I could not hide from the wind, so I hugged my thin body, which was chilled by the breeze, and relied on the firelight to keep warm and listen carefully to Little Red Carbon's explanation.

The food chain of the beast world is built by the simple instinctive desire of hunger, the strong eat the weak, and then the stronger prey...... And so on and so forth, one layer upon another.

However, there are a few extremely rare beasts that can break out of the reincarnation of the food chain, that is, highly intelligent beasts that have "desire to conquer" in addition to their basic "appetite".

Little Red Carbon calls them the Beast King - that's me.

…… Beast King Girl, I didn't get the relevant information in the Encyclopedia of Beasts, new varieties?

…… Thinking about that later, it's more important to understand what to do now.

Little Red Carbon says that only the princess can challenge the beast with only hunger to tame the tame challenge.

After being tamed, they obey the instructions of their masters according to the "genetic constraints" in their bodies, and from that moment on, a part of their consciousness is united.

No matter how far away the owner is, he can sense the existence of the other party and follow the master for the rest of his life. Until the master dies of old age, or loses to other princesses in other challenges and dies-

- and that the master violates the genetic constraint and is implicated in death in order to break away from the master-slave relationship.

As for why did the beast evolve that kind of ecological mechanism?

Little Red Carbon also doesn't quite understand, it explains in addition to eating...... There is also a longing in my heart...... The imperfection of wanting to be satisfied, but being limited by one's own conditions, cannot be achieved. Therefore, the "genetic instinct" has expectations for the princess, but he can't always find one at random and entrust his wishes to her. Therefore, to determine whether the princess has the value of leading them, they will try to test them, such as attacking the other party's .......

…… Well, in short, the beast also has a spring period, and it wants to find a princess to vent, but it is afraid that the other party will not agree with him, so he will evolve the troublesome mechanism of "taming challenge" similar to human "blind date".

In that sense, if the beast runs after me and wants to eat me, it is actually estrus against me, suggesting: Can we have a relationship...... So, the little red carbon brings me closer to the center of Mother Earth, can you explain that I want to take the initiative to court with it...... What the hell!

If Xiaohong Carbon is telling the truth, think about it carefully, when did I establish a master-slave relationship with it? And the so-called "genetic constraint" coercive force seems to vary from case to case.

…… Otherwise, I don't want to do any more things, why does that guy keep forcing me to do nasty things.

"Lululu, the master should not resist issuing the 'Chirp Mi Mi Knock' particle in his heart, and I also like it, so I can ask for it unreasonably. Moreover, the master is a person who does not adhere to those etiquette norms. 」

Little Red Carbon defended as he pushed the dead leaves into the campfire and burned them. When it almost fell and the leaves were scorched by the flames, I picked it up.

I guess "restraint" refers to the violation of major genetic regulations, so that it has the coercive power to ignore one's own will. Therefore, something like a particle that is not bad or not is not in the scope of validity.

But I still want Little Red Carbon to give other examples, and it doesn't know, but I can't help but care about its problematic explanations and the way others believe it.

Because, when Little Red Carbon stopped me from escaping from the "center", my body honestly agreed with it at the moment. Although to be with that...... Spending the night together, but I still stubbornly accepted it, could it be that I was forced to choose by genetic constraints? and on the way to escape from being preyed on by rock shell rats, I heard a call that seemed to be nothing, could it be that Little Red Carbon was looking forward to meeting me?

Everything is just speculation in the head.

If Little Red Carbon is my servant, when do I do the "Tame Challenge" to it? I've been living as a human for more than a decade, and that can't be false.

It was only on the night of the attack on the Schellinger mansion that my world changed.

It's like I was in a dream before, but now I'm really awake and alive.
