Chapter 30: The Dwarves

"Help each other, know each other, love each other...... This sage has two brushes. ”

Cassia was playing with Matt's soul orb as he thought back to what Kyle had said about 'people', and he really couldn't have imagined that the little boy who was indifferent to the table full of food and missed his parents and brother would become what he is today.

Was it his own fault? gave him a powerful ability to lead humanity? Or was it a naΓ―ve hint that his relatives could come back from the dead, but he couldn't be that child forever, maybe he knew that life and death were irreversible, so he had a strong desire to live?

Looking at the soul in his hand, Cassia was silent for a while, although Matt's soul was much brighter than Enos and Tucci, but he felt that there was something that Matt did not have, beautiful.

"Huh......" Cassia got up and put Matt's soul into a wooden box, locked it up, and placed it in the herbarium on the basement floor, with the twisted and silent specimens as company.

He then walked up to the third floor, ready to begin his next experiment, creating a new sapient race.

But before he could do it, he looked up, his gaze piercing through the castle, through the continent, and onto Kyle, who was running in the sun.

"King of the Stars, when you reach adulthood, I will give you a gift, I hope you will not disappoint me. ”

Regarding the light that Cassia hit into Kyle's body, it is actually an ability serum that has been added by special effects, because humans can temporarily have a place in nature, and the next thing is just to expand and develop, increase the population, and the rest will naturally appear.

So this time, Cassia didn't choose the wind attribute ability, but the will symbol that he newly researched a while ago, and after activating this ability, he will be extremely sensitive to metal and have strong control, of course, what is given to Kyle is still not hereditary.

Metal, whether bronze or iron, will be an unavoidable obstacle in the development of the race, and Cassia hopes that Kyle will use it correctly to contribute to the development of humanity.

After a moment of emptying his mind, Cassia shook his head and opened the notebook, this time the new race he wanted to create was also related to metal, they may not have abilities, and they may even be weaker than other races, but they will be born metal masters, fire masters, gem lovers, wine tasters, and late collectors.

Dwarf!

The design of the dwarven race Cassia is not cumbersome, except for the simple and straightforward 'shortness', but also their craftsman talent.

But Cassia knows that at this stage, genes only record genetic biological instincts, and the empirical products of civilizations like this are generally not found in genes.

This can only be achieved by soul interference, making them naturally love, not letting them have it naturally, and then enlightening and helping them at the very beginning, changing some of their tech trees a little.

Dwarves have a starter pack, and then they have a natural love, and it won't be long before what they get will turn into a talent over time.

The first is dwarf, Cassia was the first to extract the height gene from the primate gene template, replacing part of the human template.

Then there is endurance and strength, these two points he did not use the way of innate ability, but also directly replaced the genetic template, after all, the sledgehammer still has some innate ability.

After modifying some of the problems of the body structure, Cassia chose some biological ability plug-ins, but unlike humans and orcs, the dwarf ability plug-ins are not reflected in any metamorphosis ability, but mainly based on strength, endurance and re-bonus, as well as the body's resistance to beating, and the adaptability to high temperatures and body balance.

It's basically a support type of ability, but what is it about the dwarves? Is it unparalleled power? Or is it powerful and weird magic?

No, the skills in their hands are their greatest reliance and weapons.

With the experience of creating orcs, Cassia no longer has to draw a new species structure diagram while comparing it with the structure of the human body.

So after thinking about these points, he completed the structural design of the dwarf directly on the table in the corner of the third floor.

Finally, there is the soul interference, which is the key to the dwarf becoming a 'dwarf'.

"Dwarf...... Well, an obsession with metalwork, a penchant for masterful craftsmanship, a certain fondness for fine wine, a collector's penchant for gemstones, and a penchant for mining holes. ”

"12345, five interferences, isn't it a bit much......"

Cassia pouted, five is five, it's a big deal to get more carriers.

For the next half a month, Cassia has been collecting the souls of beetles to use as carriers, and the genes of these beetles have also been modified, forming a social system like ants, and there are also special queens responsible for reproduction, and the frequency is considerable.

In addition to collecting carriers, Cassia also peeks at the development of orc tribes and human tribes from time to time.

The eldest on the orc's side, Butterfly Elder Lana, was almost running out of gas, and Cassia didn't know what kind of attitude she had towards herself since that day, but no matter what, Cassia wouldn't find it strange.

On the human side, since Matt fell to the fire and his bones were gone, perhaps the vision of that day was too terrifying, or maybe his own ignorance really worked.

The next day, everyone continued to talk and laugh, but in private they would still discuss what happened that night.

Matt's ashes were fertilized as ashes because they were no longer distinguishable, and the young Kyle seemed to understand something and had begun to secretly adapt to his new abilities.

Cassia didn't know whether to say that the kid was cautious, or funny, and that he had to practice secretly, but he had a personal idea, and he didn't have the leisure to run over and tell the humans: Ah, that one named Kyle is my man, you should all support him and obey his commands.

In addition, in his free time collecting carriers and observing the continent, Cassia has been summarizing the knowledge of craftsmen and other aspects and stratifying them according to their degree of difficulty.

These are the new gift packs he left for the dwarves, and just like the humans at the beginning, these wills will be stored in the minds of the dwarves, and when the first dwarves return to the surface, this knowledge will subtly change their tech tree.

For this reason, Cassia will often return to the real world, because he is not very familiar with the elementary knowledge of craftsman's skills, and he still collects it outside for a long time, and then he begins to classify it.

Finally, when Cassia felt that the number of carriers was almost enough, he once again opened all the cultivation chambers on the third and fourth floors, and this time a total of 40 dwarven individuals would be formed, which was a little more than the number of human beings at the beginning.

However, now that the culture chamber is used for in vitro culture, cassia does not consume many spiritual points, and the only major expenditure is the consumption of nutrient solution.

However, when it comes to spirit points, Cassia has always had some thoughts in his heart, and now his spirit points have accumulated 200 units due to the development of humans and orcs, which is still minus his experimental expenses and daily expenses.

It's not normal, Cassia feels that this is very abnormal, because if he goes on like this, sooner or later, his spiritual points will be too much to be used up, according to the urine properties of the Atlanta world and the cyan light cluster, it is estimated that there are still places for large consumption that he has not yet discovered.

So even though he is a little rich now, Cassia is still frugal, in his words: be prepared.

In this way, Cassia watched the test subjects in the training chamber grow, while continuing to sort and select the opening knowledge suitable for dwarves.

It wasn't until a month and a half later that Cassia noticed for the first time that there was a movement in the cultivation cabin, which was also in his guess, after all, it was a cultivation of highly intelligent creatures, and the structure in the body was still much more complicated.

However, as he prepares to do a soul disturbance, Cassia suddenly thinks of Kyle's explanation of what it means to be human.

He then changed his attention and added "help, know, and love" to the original types of interference, but the degree of this interference was very shallow, and Cassia did not guarantee that it would be applicable to all individuals of the dwarven race.

On this point, he did not know whether it was right or wrong to make such a change, and he even asked himself: Is the person created in this way still a human being?

Cassia didn't get an answer, but he did it anyway.

Thankfully, because there were enough carriers, the dwarven soul interference went well.

Except for Subject 35, which was not born due to Cassia forgetting to add a nutrient solution, the remaining 39 dwarves survived as planned.

The first dwarf to be born and produce a soul was named by Cassia Oak Shield.

This time, Cassia didn't wait for them to reach adulthood or grow up, and directly when they were full moon, he arranged for a monkey nanny (the experimental subject of the previous soul interference) and a modified version of the chimpanzee to send them to the Southern Continent, diagonally opposite the orcs.

After doing all this, Cassia returns to the real world, as he has to prepare something for Kyle's coming-of-age gift.
