"Breeding ability... speaking of which, how is the Dragon-kin population doing?" Benjamin recalled something and asked.
"The Dragon-kin population has exceeded fifteen thousand. Compared with before, their total numbers have increased by 50%," the Black Giant Priest replied.
"Fifteen thousand. That's not too few."
Benjamin stroked his chin in thought.
At first glance, that number did not seem particularly impressive. But considering the Dragon-kin's starting point and their astonishing growth potential after bloodline optimization, in less than a thousand more years, they could produce a considerable number of high-level combatants.
"Very good. Continue breeding and cultivation, and keep observing the long-term Stability of the bloodline runes."
After thinking for a moment, Benjamin looked at the Black Giant Priest. "You can tell the Dragon-kin that if their population exceeds one hundred thousand, they can receive first-tier treatment."
So-called first-tier treatment meant treatment on the same level as the Black Giant race.
The Dragon-kin's reproductive ability was simply too poor. If they could reach a population of one hundred thousand, they should be able to accumulate over a hundred Level 8 combatants by then. Receiving first-tier treatment would only be natural.
"Yes!"
The Black Giant Priest respectfully withdrew.
Soon after, another researcher reported on their research. "My Lord, progress has also been made on the Black Giants' advancement path. Although there has been no breakthrough on the Level 8 route for now, the Level 7 advancement route has basically been clarified."
A new light screen unfolded before Benjamin, densely packed with data related to Black Giant body structures, energy circulation, and more. "After multiple rounds of testing, we have confirmed several key nodes. If they are cultivated according to the current plan, the efficiency of Black Giants advancing to Level 7 in the future is expected to increase severalfold."
