The Growth of a God

Chapter 146: The Rebel: Asu (33)

Asu is a student at the Prophet's College and a well-known troublemaker in the Pearl City.

As a skeleton, Asu firmly believes that "steel is the driving force of civilization progress" and disdains the idea of ​​others choosing to continue using bones to make bone machines.

If the City of Pearls was not located at the border between the Skeleton People and the Tribe, it would be basically impossible for burrowing insects to come and settle here.

People who are familiar with Asu will have no doubt that this guy will definitely go to the burrowing worms to become their apprentice and let them teach more knowledge and technology from the burrowing worm civilization.

Even so, Asu built a laboratory full of burrowing insect style in his own tomb.

"The Pear Prophet told me that you skipped class again today?"

Although he was covered in a black robe, his steps seemed unusually light.

As soon as Ake pushed open the door of the tomb, he saw Asu busily operating some bone machines that he could not understand at all.

Beep!Beep!Beep!

The sophisticated instruments are constantly turning, the flashing sunstones are shining brightly...

Asu, who was operating this precision instrument at full capacity, was distracted. A bearing component in the center of the instrument broke directly because it could not withstand the pressure.

Click!

Accompanied by the crisp sound of bones breaking.

Asu immediately covered his chest with his hands in pain, as if it was his own bone that had just been broken.

"Ah! For parts like this that require high pressure, metal is the only option!"

Reluctantly taking off the sunstone from the instrument, Asu turned his head to look at Ake standing at the door of the tomb.

"Father!"

"Next time, could you please not barge in when I'm doing an experiment?"

"I told you, I installed a bone bell at the door, just ring it and I'll know you're here."

Calmly staring at the little bastard opposite.

Ake hesitated for a moment, but finally walked forward and picked up the other person, completely ignoring his struggle.

"I remember I told you that I wouldn't stop you from doing these messy things, but you have to go to class every day."

After these words were spoken, Asu, who was still struggling, immediately lowered his head guiltily.

Although he felt guilty, Asu still did not forget to make an excuse.

"I've been learning this for decades. I'm not one of those idiots. I've already learned what I should have learned."

As Asu said, it is different from those dull and stupid ordinary skeletons. It possesses high intelligence from the moment it was born.

It takes ordinary people several years to learn things, but Asu understood them at a glance.

Even those complex theories and knowledge from the cave-dwelling insect civilization only took Asu a few years to master them.

For ordinary people to achieve this, it would take at least dozens or even hundreds of years.

“Talent is not something you should be proud of, and ability is not a reason for you to look down on your peers.”

It was not the first time that Ake felt tired and sighed. He had never missed Aya so much.

If Aya were still alive, why would I have to live such a tiring life?

“Compared to talent, learning and hard work are what can really make you proud for the rest of your life.”

"If all the prophets were like you, looking down on others because of their own talents and abilities, do you think you could still learn the knowledge you have now from them?"

It was obviously just a clichéd remark, but Asu seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up at Ake in surprise.

"Dad? Are you leaving?"

......................................................................................................

At the same time, at the Prophet's College in the Pearl City.

The Prophet Pear, or Ali, stared at the Ake bone sculpture outside the window calmly, but his expression seemed a little sad.

"Another person I know is leaving..." "I shouldn't have signed that 'immortality contract' with you."

"It's just terrible to watch people you know die one by one and not be able to do anything about it."

Slowly walking out from the shadow behind Ali, the undead man Shuli shook his head and said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter. I will definitely die later than you anyway. You can rest assured about that."

Shu Li was as irrational as ever, and his answer was full of the unique style of the immortal, but Ali smiled with relief.

"Yes! No matter who leaves first, you will definitely leave later than me."

"But now that Ake is gone, it will be difficult for Asu."

Ali admires the intelligent Asu very much, regardless of whether it was born from Aya's bones.

"That kid is fearless, but he is also born smart and rebellious."

Tilting his head slightly, Shu Li seemed not to care about it.

After all, when it comes to rebellion, who can be compared with the undead who are “all rebels”?

"I think it's quite interesting, and what it's researching now is indeed very forward-looking among the skeleton people."

"Unless you become a true god, there is a limit to the strength of your bones."

"If that's the case, why do we insist on using bones to build various machines?"

"Wouldn't it be better to use metal refined from ore just like the troglodytes?"

Hearing this, Ali retorted.

"Then wouldn't we, the Skeleton People, become the second cave-dwelling insect civilization?"

"Besides, how can it be more convenient to make a metal instrument with great ingenuity than to let a bone-growing beast grow directly?"

It has to be admitted that the appearance of burrowing worms did promote the development of the mountain and sea world civilization to a certain extent.

However, all knowledgeable people, including Gu Ming, clearly realize that the Skeleton People have been able to develop to this day because of their own advantages.

Pure copying and reproduction is not the most suitable approach to meet the development needs of the skeleton people.

Improvements and breakthroughs based on local conditions are what the think tank members who stay in the City of Bones all year round want to do.

"I think that guy might be able to integrate the technology of burrowing insects into our civilization."

Faced with Ali's confident words, Shu Li could only spread his hands to express his helplessness.

It was Ali who mentioned Asu in the beginning, but how come in the end, he became the target of attack?

"Are you so optimistic about it?"

He nodded affirmatively. Although Ali had already resigned, he decided not to let his "old-fashioned" ideas interfere with the future development of the Skeleton People.

But somewhere deep in his heart, Ali still remembered the grandeur he felt when he discussed with Gusheng, Xiongbi and others about building a prosperous world together.

"Asu has the potential. The only thing it lacks now is experience and lessons."

"If there is a chance, sending it to the City of Bones and letting it learn from Bone Ming for a while would be a good idea."

Monthly ticket/recommendation ticket

　I have been writing 10,000 words a day for almost half a month, and I have reached my limit.

　　At first I thought I could just hold on for a few days, but now it seems that my potential has really been forced out.

　　However, although there will be no updates of 10,000 words in the future, there will still be a guaranteed update of 6,000 words every day.

　　This is what I promised you at the beginning. Don't worry, I will definitely not go back on my word.

　　In fact, typing speed is secondary. It’s mainly because it’s the New Year, and I’ve basically written down everything I wanted to write in the early outline.

　　If you want to ensure quality next, you still have to accumulate inspiration slowly.

　　If you guys have any good ideas, please feel free to bring them up, such as strange races, exaggerated wonders, and more interesting settings. After all, my inspiration alone is definitely not as good as everyone else's.
