Over the three days he'd been observing the Elf's birth, Li Qing hadn't been idle.
He'd asked for Elf seeds and a hundred biological computers.
During these three days, he'd taken out eighty of the computers and continuously performed secondary Awakening.
Biological computers without brains were already quite good, as were Divine Treasure Tools.
What if he awakened them himself?
As time passed, he could perform a single-cell Awakening in just eleven seconds. The secondary Awakening for integrated consciousness also shortened from a week to three days.
"."
"???~~***"
The eighty biological computers were linked together, and consciousness was finally born.
But Li Qing frowned slightly, sensing that the other party seemed to have no emotional fluctuations. What were these symbolic representations of consciousness, emitting radio waves?
Could it be that the Awakening of circuit-based life had led to a lack of emotional consciousness? Like a true mechanical AI?
This fingernail-sized green slime-like tree sap was his biological computer.
He extended his arm, clenched his fist, and squeezed hard.
Crack!
Just like the first time he met Ning Guochang, an eight-sided, rhombic, transparent Zombie Crystal Core slowly floated out of Li Qing's arm, surrounded by countless terrifying blood vessels and veins.
Li Qing pressed this liquid onto his own Zombie Crystal Core, and then the core returned inside his body.
Splash.
"That's good."
Li Qing sensed it again, deep within.
A voice echoed from within his body:
"~~~~~~"
Li Qing opened his Divinity. It was a very simple personal computer.
Although they had the technical capability, they didn't engage in entertainment at all.
Like the most primitive computers of the last century, before the popularization of civilian use, they had a single function, only used to assist researchers in the institute.
Some research logs were already stored inside.
And an Elf Forbidden Book Catalog.
Li Qing clicked on it and browsed curiously. They had indeed listened to him, learned system programming, and created a rudimentary auxiliary bio-engineering software for the laboratory.
It was like a programming tool combined with 3D modeling and drawing software.
Beside it were neatly organized gene codes, with two options: [Body] and [Brain].
[Body]
A messy assortment of parts, bones, skin colors. There were thousands upon thousands of them.
"White hair, green eyes, big nose." Li Qing randomly combined them and found that he had formed a new Elf, with modeling and drawing appearing.
"It's really like character creation in a game!"
But then he was stunned.
After creating it, they provided a DNA sequence blueprint, asking him to build it in reality according to this blueprint.
"They just gave me the blueprint and asked me to build it?" Li Qing was surprised.
He didn't have individual gene bottles here, so it seemed he couldn't assemble it here.
But he didn't care anyway.
He could enter at any time, possess a God, and use their laboratory and the prepared materials to create it.
He skipped the body and looked at the brain.
[Brain]
The brain page was sparse, with only three optional CPU installations, which were the core centers of life.
[Elf-type Brain (One Star)]: The brain structure of Elves, researched by eight thousand Gods working together. Incomplete consciousness, lacking creativity, emotional defects, dull, rigid, no desire to win or lose. It is the common brain for life created by the current Gods.
Brain Characteristics: None.
[Ancient God-type Brain (? Star)]: The current brain structure of the Gods, a creation of the Creator God of Light. It can form special network integrated consciousness. The creation level of the brain is unknown, granting us mysterious power.
Brain Characteristics: Communicating consciousness waves, subtle Telekinesis.
"They've summarized and categorized the brains I gave them quite well." Li Qing was indifferent to this. As Vassals of the zombies, they naturally possessed some consciousness abilities.
[Inferior Human-type Brain (Two Stars, Incomplete)]: Obtained from the biological structure of giant human DNA from an unknown transparent tubular material found in the soil. Some genes are similar to the Giant God physique.
However, this giant human race, despite its physique, was too weak, a flawed product with too many useless genes. Even women bled every month, possibly due to excessive genes during the engineer's construction process. It is now useless, yet they don't know how to remove it.
Characteristics: Normal brain, complete consciousness. This creature possesses the Seven Deadly Sins; it is evil and despicable.
There is a note below:
Optimizing and streamlining, shrinking this brain structure.
It's highly possible it can replace the incomplete Elf brains we manufactured and become a new drive brain for the creations of the gods!
Li Qing smiled slightly as he read, "They still can't figure out the brain, so they have to start copying normal Earth human brains?"
The menstrual cycle described within is indeed a phased defect in human evolution, which has now become a burden.
Humans have many useless organs.
For example, wisdom teeth.
For example, the appendix, which was used to digest coarse fiber in primitive times but is now obsolete, a useless organ. When it gets inflamed, it causes excruciating pain, requiring surgery to remove it.
Even more so, Darwin's tubercle, a small bump on the upper inner edge of the outer rim of the ear, used to gather distant sounds. Many people no longer have it.
In the long process of human evolution, there are indeed a bunch of messy leftover useless genes. Now, with the updated version, humans are at the top of the food chain, living in comfort, and certainly no longer need them.
But as the programmer said: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
The gene building has evolved for countless eons. Messing with the underlying code could cause chain reactions, program bugs, and various genetic collapse syndromes.
For example, the gene-edited babies incident in 2018.
The huge outcry and protest against gene editing, which could resist AIDS, was precisely because of the fear of major problems arising from messing with the underlying code.
Whether the genetically modified soybeans from before have caused problems is still debated. If you crossbreed genetically modified humans with normal humans, it could contaminate the human gene pool, leading to unknown disasters.
"They're truly amazing, to be able to tamper with the human genetic structure of the brain."
Li Qing couldn't help but sigh, but it had nothing to do with him; he wasn't a modern human.
He had already undergone a genetic metamorphosis, becoming another species.
Even something like wisdom teeth, on the fourth morning after integrating the Crystal Core, as he continued to transform, he spat out his wisdom teeth upon waking.
After finishing reading the rudimentary auxiliary computer, Li Qing was quite satisfied.
Although his head only contained a primitive computer, with functions currently inferior to a mobile phone, what about the future?
He went to eat dinner.
He spent the entire meal enthusiastically studying the small internal computer, eating and researching simultaneously, almost as engrossing as playing with his phone. After a leisurely stroll back in the evening, he looked at the Elf in his house.
The structure was completely finished.
He lifted her skull and inserted an integrated consciousness into it.
Rustle!
"Mmm... my body is so stiff. Numb."
The consciousness transmitted as the brain was loaded.
She now believed she came from a vast and boundless different world, a saintess from a certain era of the Elf Giant Tree Age.
Li Qing didn't close her skull. Instead, he opened his eyes and gazed at her brain. A gentle radiance shone upon her, making her feel as if she had returned to the origin of life.
"Mmm... so warm. It's the embrace of the Elf God."
Bang!
Li Qing closed her skull.
"Ah!!!"
She screamed, feeling a massive jolt in her head, as if her brain had exploded.
Li Qing carried her to the doorstep of someone's house next door.
Because the neighbors had recently had a complete falling out.
The old lady had been so angered by someone that she ran off, which was convenient for his plan. He would give her the "chance encounter with an Elf appearing in this modern world."
Humans are social animals. As long as he was on Earth, he could never escape society, unless he went to outer space, established his own Umbrella Medical Company, and secretly guided civilization's progress, with Susannie as his first point of contact.
Although it was basically confirmed that Susannie was an enthusiastic chuunibyou, a Marvel fan who grew up reading novels and Harry Potter, and wouldn't selflessly offer any fortuitous encounters to the state, he would still take precautions. He would give her the Three Corpses Brain God Pill, a living intelligent bacterium, for internal monitoring to prevent leaks.
A gentle voice entered the Elf's mind:
"My poor child, my servant, you have lost your memory. You have already transmigrated to this different world. Wake up quickly. You have fallen into a forest, and it may be dangerous. This world has no magic, but they are evil."
"This mortal world is defiled."
"You are outside a human settlement. In front of you is a house with lights on. Go and seek help from that girl."
"But before seeking help, plant an Elf Oath in her, lest she act against you."
He felt like he was manipulating an RPG character in a behind-the-scenes plot.
