Chapter 967: Wise Soul
These intelligent infected souls are undoubtedly much more interesting than those normal infected souls that have completely destroyed their sanity.
Ordinary infected soul bodies have no autonomous initiative at all, they must be pushed by the soul body of the ancient civilization to be able to move, there is no wisdom at all, for the soul body of the ancient civilization, these guys are not living creatures at all, they are just some cheap consumables, this kind of thing comes and goes around them every day I don't know how much to replace, and the soul bodies of the ancient civilization have no superfluous feeling for them at all.
And these infected souls with a certain amount of wisdom left are different, they are much more fun.
They have their own wisdom, their own desires, and even their own memories that are being rebuilt, and these souls have their own completely different reactions to a variety of situations.
They will scream when they are in pain, take the initiative to forage for food when they are hungry, hide and disguise, and even play tricks!
In particular, these infected soul bodies with residual wisdom can communicate and exchange with the souls of ancient civilizations to a certain extent, and can interact with and exchange emotions with ancient civilizations to a certain extent through soul viruses.
In addition, the infected soul body is completely a safe, harmless, and controllable vassal role for the soul body of the ancient civilization, so for the soul body of the ancient civilization, these soul bodies have become an unprecedented special object that can be communicated and confided in.
Many ancient civilization soul bodies began to raise these intelligent infected soul bodies as their own pets, just like humans wanted to keep a kitten or a puppy.
In particular, these infected souls are also different in their respective manifestations due to different origins, different species, different degrees of wisdom remnants, different personalities, etc., and have a kaleidoscopic manifestation, which makes it even more interesting.
Inevitably, more and more souls of ancient civilizations began to intentionally raise some of their favorite intelligent infected souls, treating them as their favorite pets.
You must know that although the soul bodies of the ancient civilizations are powerful one by one, they can be said to be powerful beings above countless living beings, but their lives are not satisfactory.
As an existence at the top of the food chain, ordinary intelligent beings are nothing more than food for the souls of ancient civilizations, and the souls of ancient civilizations have never had the idea of making friends and exchanging feelings with ordinary intelligent beings. Even the various entertainment enjoyed by intelligent beings was often difficult to interest the ancient civilizations.
Most of the citizens of the ancient civilization were separated from each other, with their own tasks and jobs, and they often transmitted messages to each other through soul viruses, and there were not many opportunities for close contact, and they would not easily exchange any feelings.
Therefore, many times, the life of the soul body of the ancient civilization is quite boring and lonely, and each soul body of the ancient civilization has a lot of pressure in its own heart that cannot be resolved.
Normally, the souls of the ancient civilizations were accustomed to this kind of life, but when they came into contact with these intelligent souls that were commonplace in their own lives, but they were very different, their emotions were inevitably expressed.
These sapient infected souls are special, and they are so much more interesting than ordinary infected souls that are completely wooden. However, their intelligence has serious flaws, and they generally seem silly and funny, and they can be described as completely harmless to the souls of ancient civilizations.
When some ancient civilization souls conduct in-depth research on these soul bodies, they inevitably like to raise and tease these toys as a little embellishment for their boring lives.
At first, only a small number of ancient civilization souls were interested in these intelligent souls, but as the ancient civilization souls communicated with each other, some ancient civilization souls began to mention more and more of their new pets, mentioning how silly, funny, and how they made people laugh and cry.
As a result, it was inevitable that more and more souls of ancient civilizations were gradually infected, and began to have some interest in these intelligent souls, and they were raised.
And as this trend spread, the lives of some ancient civilization soul bodies have been greatly affected.
Originally, it was only used as food for a large number of infected souls of various ancient civilizations, but now it has become a treasure chest in the eyes of many ancient civilization souls, and every time a new batch arrives, there are some ancient civilization souls who are full of anticriss to open the box and search for all intelligent infected souls.
Because intelligent soul bodies are generally not easy to identify, and even like to hide, even many ancient civilization soul bodies have begun to come up with all kinds of ways to screen which infected soul bodies are intelligent, once a certain batch of reserve food does not find a wisdom soul body, the ancient civilization soul bodies will be greatly disappointed, feeling that the quality of this batch of food is not good at all!
As more and more souls of ancient civilizations became interested in intelligent infected souls, for a while, these intelligent infected souls quickly became popular and popular among the souls of ancient civilizations.
In addition to completing various tasks, some ancient civilization souls began to spend considerable energy collecting these intelligent infected souls, treating them as their pets, toys, playmates, and even helpers at work.
In the past, the souls of the ancient civilizations were very picky about food, and they liked to choose those highly intelligent scientific and technological civilization citizens to enjoy, and they complained about the food supply that contained some animal ingredients, but with the rise of this pet trend, the souls of the ancient civilizations did not pick, and began to become unrejected, and even wanted more animal-type souls.
This is not because the souls of the ancient civilizations have changed their tastes, but because compared to the pets of ordinary humanoids, more souls of the ancient civilizations like pets in the form of animals, and feel that the intelligent souls in the form of animals are cuter, rarer, and more fun.
For the souls of ancient civilizations whose life forms have undergone a complete change, and even the way of reproduction has changed from benign reproduction to self-splitting, humanoid pets are too ordinary, not at all alternative and interesting, and there is always a feeling of aesthetic fatigue when they see too much of the appearance of a thousand people.
Even if there are huge differences between the races of various interstellar civilizations, they may be very different from each other, and some races are roughly adult-type, but they have scales, multiple limbs, horns, etc., which are not really similar in all details, but in the eyes of the souls of ancient civilizations, this kind of bipedal erect creatures is still too commonplace, and there is always a sense of disobedience when cultivated as pets, and it is not favored among the souls of ancient civilizations.
In contrast, the more popular and more popular pet types among the souls of ancient civilizations are those strange cute pets or beasts with different characteristics, and pets with high IQ characteristics are also more sought after.
Affected by this sudden trend within the ancient civilization, those really rare and distinctive and high-IQ pets are now priceless within the ancient civilization, and any one can be worth millions of ordinary infected soul bodies, and there is no market, and those ancient civilization soul bodies with such pets are not willing to exchange them at all.
However, the innate wisdom of the infected soul body of these beasts itself is not high, and the distinctive pet breeds are not easy to find, and they can meet various standards at the same time to meet the needs of the best pets with high residual IQ, good breeds, and good personalities, and are worth millions of ordinary infected soul bodies, which is not an exaggeration at all, and the infected soul bodies that can retain a certain amount of wisdom are quite rare, not to mention that they have to meet the above harsh conditions.
Relatively speaking, the number of intelligent soul bodies in those human forms is the largest, but they are often the only ones in a million, and many ancient civilization soul bodies have received several batches of food supplies in their own nests without being able to find a valuable soul body.
Although these intelligent souls are not very popular with the souls of ancient civilizations, and are often rarely kept as pets, they are not completely worthless in the eyes of the souls of ancient civilizations.
Generally speaking, the residual wisdom of the humanoid wisdom soul body is relatively high, although the appearance is not powerful enough and not cute enough, and it seems relatively modest, but under the attempts of some ancient civilization soul bodies, they slowly began to be able to play a role in some of the work of the ancient civilization soul bodies.
Some ancient civilization soul bodies have selected humanoid soul bodies with more prominent IQs, and can even send them to some chess pieces to be investigated, helping ancient civilization souls to investigate their situation closely, and see if they have similar acts of stealing information and malicious intentions while cooperating with ancient civilizations.
After some ancient civilization soul bodies have tried, they have found that although these intelligent soul bodies are not as intelligent as ordinary people, they are fully capable of doing their jobs under strong orders, and can monitor the objects they want to monitor at any time twenty-four hours a day, and even compared to professional detectives, they are more dead, and some small situations cannot be concealed from them.
Although these intelligent souls themselves are not intelligent enough to judge the situation, they are able to keep in mind all the abnormalities that occur in the process of stalking, and can identify the relevant locations and equipment in front of the souls of ancient civilizations, so that the souls of ancient civilizations can further verify the situation.
Many ancient civilization soul bodies have achieved very outstanding results after adopting this method.
For the chess pieces under their command, the soul body of the ancient civilization does not need to monitor it all the time, but only needs to send the intelligent soul body to monitor them for a day or two every once in a while, so that they can accurately grasp the situation of these chess pieces, and find out whether they are in front of the person and behind the other, so as to ensure the purity of the chess pieces under their command to the greatest extent.
Those chess pieces who were found to be suspicious, the soul body of the ancient civilization did not hesitate to deal with them, and by the way, it deterred other chess pieces, and the effect was quite obvious.
The only pity is that the intelligent soul body that can have enough IQ to be competent for similar work is also rare among all humanoid intelligent soul bodies, and there is often not one out of ten thousand.
Although many ancient civilization soul bodies are very envious of guys with such powerful work partners, and are also very eager to have several intelligent soul bodies of similar quality, so as to reduce their work pressure to the greatest extent and achieve more work performance, but there are too few intelligent soul bodies of similar quality, which are simply not enough to meet the needs of all ancient civilization soul bodies.
The value of intelligent souls is higher, and they can do a lot of work that ordinary infected souls can't do at all, and the high-level people of ancient civilizations have actually discovered this situation a long time ago, and have been researching it in related fields for a long time.
Some high-level members of ancient civilizations have long been aware of the existence of infected soul bodies that also have considerable wisdom and memory, which shows that although the soul virus will destroy the wisdom and memory of the soul body, this is not an absolute thing, once a suitable way can be found to control the degree of erosion and destruction of the soul virus's memory and wisdom on the soul body, it will undoubtedly have an incomparable value for the ancient civilization. It is likely that the ancient civilization will use this to breed a large number of intelligent mercenary legions.
If such research is finally successful, each soul body of the ancient civilization will undoubtedly be able to allocate a large number of intelligent soul bodies, and the comprehensive strength of the ancient civilization will undoubtedly be greatly improved, and it will have an extremely significant role in boosting the penetration of the three cosmic-level civilizations, and the shortcomings of the lack of manpower in the ancient civilization will also be finally solved.
In order to achieve this ultimate goal, the high-level leaders of the ancient civilization have been screening the intelligent soul bodies on a large scale and in a planned manner a long time ago, in fact, the food supply delivered to the soul bodies of the ancient civilization has already gone through a round of screening before the official delivery, and the infected soul bodies that obviously have a certain amount of wisdom residue have long been intercepted by the high-level of the ancient civilization in advance.
The reason why these high-level leaders of ancient civilizations want to intercept these intelligent soul bodies first is not to use them as pets or as work assistants, but to use these precious intelligent soul bodies for experimental research, and find out the reason why they can resist the erosion of soul viruses and preserve part of their wisdom and memory.
