Bruce's experiment was over, and Charles could not be bothered to continue experimenting either.
His level was too low, and he had yet to qualify to learn many spells.
If he continued with flesh-and-blood modification experiments, the success rate would be very low.
Even if there were results, they would be due to luck, just like Bruce.
Bruce's successful modification was good news. His ongoing mutation had never stopped.
Ten days after the experiment ended, Bruce, who had originally been only as large as a cat, had grown to the size of a dog.
Moreover, under Charles's training and deliberate cultivation, the rat could already walk upright.
Of course, the result of this mutation might also have something to do with a certain bloodline Bruce had absorbed from the Demon Worm.
In any case, Bruce could now rely on his hind legs to walk.
This made Charles look forward to the rat's future.
"Why does this feel like I've raised a ratman?"
After that thought occurred to him, Charles became even more attentive in cultivating Bruce.
Rats raised from a young age were already much more intelligent, with intelligence roughly equivalent to that of a four- or five-year-old child.
Other than being unable to speak and requiring Rat Speech to communicate, they could already understand all of Charles's other commands.
As for Bruce's recent performance, his intelligence was gradually increasing. By now, he seemed to possess the intelligence of a seven- or eight-year-old child.
Charles had even begun deliberately cultivating Bruce's intelligence and teaching him the human common tongue.
After all, birds like mynas and parrots could learn human speech.
Charles felt this mutated rat had a very good chance as well.
Cultivating Bruce would be a long process, but time was what Charles lacked least while stationed here.
