Besides, compared to Lilia, Little Black would be much easier to develop.
He only needed to train Little Black the way he would a normal Artisan.
Although Little Black was not a player, its affinity for Artisan-type powers was beyond anything human players could match.
Given time, it might even be able to condense the Artisan's Authority.
Of course, that was a long way off. Even though Lin Yuan now had the formula for an authority, it was still not something he needed to consider at this stage.

Even before taking the manual, Little Black seemed to sense the knowledge contained within it and looked delighted and excited.
But instead of opening the manual after receiving it, it opened its mouth wide and ate the whole thing in one bite.
