Simplified Bio-Brain

Now, during these three days of observing the elf's birth, Li Qing had not been idle.

He asked the other party for elf seeds, as well as one hundred Bio-computers.

Over these three days, he took out eighty computers and had them undergo Second Awakening the entire time.

A Bio-computer without a brain was already quite impressive as a Divine Treasure Tool.

What if he awakened them himself?

As time passed, he only needed eleven seconds to perform a First Awakening on Single Cell, while the Second Awakening of Integrated Consciousness had also been reduced from a week to three days.

"."

"???~~***"

The eighty Bio-computers were linked together, and consciousness was finally born.

But Li Qing slightly furrowed his brows. He sensed that the other party seemed to have no emotional fluctuations. What kind of consciousness symbol was this, sending out electrical waves?

Could it be that awakening a lifeform with a circuit structure resulted in the absence of emotional consciousness? Was it like a true mechanical AI?

This green slime tree sap, no larger than a fingernail, was his Bio-computer.

He extended his arm, clenched his fist, and exerted force with all his might.

Crack!

Just like the first time he had met Ning Guochang, a transparent, eight-faceted rhomboid Zombie Crystal Core slowly emerged from Li Qing's arm in accordance with his will, surrounded by countless terrifying blood vessels and bulging veins.

Li Qing pressed the liquid against his Zombie Crystal Core, and then the core returned inside his body.

Splash.

"It's done."

Li Qing sensed something vaguely once more.

Another voice came from within his body:

"~~~~~~"

Li Qing opened his divine core. It was an extremely simple personal computer.

Although their technological capabilities had reached the required level, they had no interest in entertainment whatsoever.

It was like the most primitive computer from the last century, before computers became widespread among civilians. Its functions were simple, and it was merely used to assist the researchers at the institute.

Some research logs had already been placed inside.

There was also an Elf Forbidden Book Catalog.

Li Qing opened it and browsed it curiously. They had indeed followed his instructions, learned system programming, and created a crude bioengineering software for laboratory use.

It was like a combination of programming tools and 3D modeling and drawing software.

Beside it were neatly organized genetic codes, with two options: [Body] and [Brain].

[Body]

A hodgepodge of components, bones, skin colors, and so on. There were thousands upon thousands of them.

"White hair, green eyes, big nose." Li Qing casually combined them, only to discover that they formed a new elf as well. A modeled image appeared.

"This really is character customization from a game!"

But when he looked at it afterward, he was briefly stunned.

After the character was created, they provided him with a diagram of the combined DNA sequence and asked him to construct it in reality according to the diagram.

"They only gave me the blueprint and expect me to build it myself?" Li Qing was surprised.

There were no individual gene bottles here, so apparently he could not assemble it in this place.

But he did not care.

He could enter whenever he wished, possess one of the gods, and use the laboratory and prepared experimental materials inside to make it.

He skipped the body and looked toward the brain.

[Brain]

The brain page had very few options. There were only three selectable CPU installations, which served as the central core of life.

[Elf Brain (One Star)]: The elf brain structure researched through the combined efforts of eight thousand gods. It possesses an incomplete consciousness, basically no creativity, defective emotions, dullness, strict adherence to rules, and no desire to win or lose. It is currently the universal brain used by the gods to create life.

Brain Traits: None.

[Ancient God Brain (? Stars)]: The existing brain structure of the gods, a creation of the light Creator God. It can form a special network and Integrated Consciousness. The brain's level of creativity is unknown, but it grants us mysterious power.

Brain Traits: Communicating Consciousness Waves, subtle psychokinesis.

"They've done a pretty good job summarizing and categorizing the brains I gave them." Li Qing remained indifferent. As his zombie familiars, they naturally possessed part of his consciousness abilities.

[Inferior Human Brain (Two Stars, Incomplete)]: A huge human-species DNA biological structure obtained from an unknown transparent, sleeve-like material found in the soil. Some of its genes resemble the physique of the giant gods.

However, this giant species possesses only an imposing physique and is far too weak. It is defective, contains too many useless genes, and even causes females to bleed once a month. These are suspected to be excessive genes from the engineers' construction process. They are now useless, yet the engineers do not understand how to remove them.

Traits: A normal brain with a complete consciousness. This organism possesses the Seven Deadly Sins and is evil and despicable.

Below it was an annotation:

Currently optimizing and simplifying this brain structure, while reducing its size.

It is highly likely that it can replace the incomplete elf brain we created and become a new driving brain for the gods' creations!

Li Qing revealed a faint smile as he read it. "They still can't research a brain of their own, so they've started copying the brains of normal humans on Earth?"

The menstrual cycle described here was indeed a temporary defect in human evolution. At present, it had instead become a burden.

Humans had many useless organs.

For example, wisdom teeth.

And the appendix. In primitive times, it had been used to digest coarse fiber, but now it was useless. It was a vestigial organ that caused agonizing inflammation and then had to be surgically removed.

And even more so, Darwin's point—a tiny protuberance on the inner edge of the upper outer rim of the ear that helped gather more distant sounds. Many people no longer had one.

Over the long course of evolution, humans had indeed accumulated a whole mess of useless genes left behind by history. Now that the version had been updated and humans lived in comfort at the top of the food chain, they surely no longer needed them.

But there was still that one saying among programmers: If it runs, don't touch it!

The genetic building had evolved over countless billions of years. Recklessly altering its underlying code could trigger chain reactions, program bugs, and all kinds of genetic collapse disorders.

Take the gene-edited babies of 2018, for example.

Gene modification could resist AIDS, but the reason it caused such a tremendous uproar and protest was precisely the fear that recklessly altering the underlying code would lead to serious problems.

Even now, people still argued over whether genetically modified soybeans caused problems. If genetically modified humans reproduced with normal humans, they might contaminate the human gene pool and trigger unknown disasters.

"They're truly impressive. They're actually going to modify the brain structure of human genes."

Li Qing could not help sighing. But it had nothing to do with him. He was not a modern human, after all.

His genes had already transformed, turning him into an entirely different species.

Even something like wisdom teeth had fallen out on the morning of the fourth day after he fused with the crystal core. As his transformation continued, he had woken up and spat out his wisdom teeth.

After finishing with this crude auxiliary computer, Li Qing was quite satisfied.

Although his head contained only a primitive computer, whose current functions were inferior even to those of a phone, what about the future?

He went to eat dinner.

Throughout the meal, he enthusiastically studied the little computer inside his body, eating and researching at the same time. It was almost like playing with his phone. After slowly strolling home that night, he looked toward the elf in his house.

Her construction was completely finished.

He opened her skull and stuffed the Integrated Consciousness inside.

Crash!

"Wuwu~~ My body is so stiff... numb."

As the brain was loaded, consciousness came through.

She already believed that she came from a vast and immense otherworld, from an era in the epoch of the elven giant tree, and that she was a Holy Maiden.

Li Qing did not close her skull. Instead, he opened his eyes and gazed at her brain. A gentle radiance shone over her, making her feel as though she had returned to the origin of life.

"Wuwuwu~ So warm. It's the embrace of the Elf God."

Bang!

Li Qing closed her skull.

"Ah!!!"

She shrieked, feeling her head violently shake as though it had exploded.

Li Qing carried her to the doorstep of someone's house next door.

The neighbors had fallen into complete conflict recently.

The old lady had been driven away by someone and fled in anger. It was also a suitable opportunity to give her the fortuitous encounter of "meeting an elf who appeared in this modern world."

Humans were social animals. As long as he remained on Earth, he could never escape society. He would have to go into outer space and establish Umbrella Medical Company to deduce civilization for himself and secretly protect it. His first tentacle would be Susannie.

Although he had basically confirmed that someone like Susannie was an enthusiastic chuunibyou, a Marvel fan who loved reading novels and had grown up watching Harry Potter, and that she would certainly not selflessly offer up a fortuitous encounter to the state, it was still better to take precautions. He would implant her with the Three Corpses Brain God Pill, a living intelligent bacterium, and monitor her from inside her body to prevent leaks.

A gentle voice entered the elf's mind:

"My poor child, my servant, you've lost your memory. You've already transmigrated into this otherworld. Wake up, quickly! You fell into a forest, and it may be dangerous. This world has no magic, but its people are evil."

"This human world has been defiled."

"You're outside a human settlement. There's a house in front of you, brightly lit. Go to that girl and ask for help."

"But before asking for help, plant an Elf Oath in her first, so she won't harm you."

It always felt as though someone behind the scenes was controlling an RPG character role-playing game.
