People in Terra, governing a weird little country

"The absolute degree of organization and the ability to devour companions as nutrients will slowly change the geological features, soil structure, and topography of the occupied area, making it more suitable for its own survival."

"I have to say, if this kind of creature really exists, it is indeed a miracle in the history of evolution."

Levi couldn't help but sigh.

We have only heard of the survival of the fittest, and how life evolves and is eliminated to adapt to the natural environment. But we have never heard of directly and brutally transforming nature, beating it to its knees, and training it into a shape suitable for reproduction.

The scientists felt a strange resonance.

Elini couldn't just listen to these words. She stood up immediately and wanted to draw the rapier at her waist, but found that the rapier was placed outside the door. She could only shout:

"I adore Hai Si, you are indeed an Agor!" and so on, and then he would rush forward.

Even Ernst didn't expect her reaction to be so violent. Before he could stop her, Elini had already rushed in front of Levi.

Ernst had seen the physical fitness of the Super Terrans. In addition, Elini was a girl who could be selected as an apprentice to the Inquisitor. Her fighting ability could not be ignored just because she was cute. Ernst made a prompt decision and was about to call on Yelagund to freeze the bird and calm it down. But before he could open his mouth, a dark, hideous, twisted Originium tentacle suddenly rushed out of the box covered with black cloth beside Levi, and unexpectedly, it easily entangled Elini's legs and hung her upside down.

Ernst slowly lowered his raised hand and looked at the scene in astonishment. Before he could speak, Levi pushed his glasses, showing his creepy smile, and explained to Ernst:

"I haven't had time to introduce you to my little surprise - the Originium exoskeleton device. How do you think it is?"

The temperature suddenly dropped across the country today. I started having a fever when I woke up, my throat hurts, and my head aches. I really don't have the energy to stay active today.

So I'm sorry, I'm going to take a day off today. I'm going to take some medicine and go to bed early. Dear readers, please take care of your health. Wear more clothes to keep warm in this weather. If you are not careful, you will catch a cold. It's so annoying.

Go to bed early, good night everyone.

Chapter 307 Kal'tsit: Are you finally targeting me? Ernst!

Kal'tsit felt that Ernst had been looking for her quite frequently recently.

She was not averse to people who loved to learn. Many of the questions Ernst asked were quite valuable. If spending some time answering them could prevent a country from taking a detour and add a layer of security to the future of Terra, Kal'tsit did not mind sacrificing her rest time.

But she also has to go to work.

In the agreement reached with Ernst, she was to be a tour guide at the World Expo. This position was both the "price" she paid and the "reward" she received. Through the platform of the World Expo, she could get in touch with many national leaders who no longer recognized her name, Kal'tsit, to understand their policies, evaluate their personalities, and make reasonable arrangements based on their political inclinations. At the same time, she could strive for more expediency for Rhodes Island - such as one or two large national-level drug orders, such as help with emergency response strategies for the infected (the service provided by Rhodes Island to Longmen in the main storyline of the game was, to put it bluntly, mercenaries for the infected. Judging from Wei Yanwu's subsequent attitude of using this as a bargaining chip, this business was very profitable), and the permission for Rhodes Island to set up an office in the local area.

Kal'tsit could only have the chance to get these benefits if she went there, and if Ernst kept her in the office, she naturally wouldn't be able to get them.

Therefore, Kal'tsit felt that it was necessary to remind Ernst that although she had said that the consultation was free, she couldn't keep taking advantage of him!

My previous life was also called a "prophet". Do you know how much it cost for those gods and ancestors to see me and ask me a question? Even so, they might not get what they wanted!

So, be rational and don't overwork the lynx. I have a child now, and I can't stay with you all day long. What will Amiya think?

Having made up her mind and prepared her words, Kelsey knocked on the door of Ernst's office. After hearing the voice of "Come in", she turned the handle and pushed the door open.

"Mr. Ernst, please allow me to remind you..."

Kal'tsit's voice suddenly stopped. She raised her head and the shadow of the light fell on her face like a giant pillar.

She opened her mouth in a daze, the sound stuck in her throat, and she couldn't help swallowing, looking at the huge, black, long and thick [giant snake], or [tentacle] made up of layers of source stone crystals in the room. The poker face that claimed to be calm even if Kalan Mountain collapsed in front of her finally changed a little.

Well... maybe the word "finally" isn't quite appropriate, since Kal'tsit had only been in the office for less than five seconds.

She stared at the burly [Originium Creation] in front of her. Before she could issue any instructions, the next moment, an Originium Creation emitting dark green light all over its body jumped out from her backless dress that she had never changed even in Kjerag. It was so fast that even Ernst and Levi didn't have time to notice the origin of the giant beast.

"Roar!"

The Originium monster that suddenly appeared let out a terrifying roar, suddenly waking up the shocked Kal'tsit. She came to her senses and immediately ordered to stop mon3tr who wanted to rush towards the [Originium Tentacle]:

"mon3tr! Come back! That's not your wife!"

"Woo-Ah!" Another roar, but this time, Ernst seemed to feel a bit of disbelief and sadness from the roar of the Originium monster.

mon3tr looked at the Originium tentacles stretching out in the room with reluctance, but finally obeyed Kal'tsit's order, slowly backed away, returned to Kal'tsit, and uttered a few whimpers of grievance.

Seeing this, Kal'tsit could only reach out her hand and gently stroke the small and exquisite head of the Originium beast that was several times her size, and said soothingly:

"It's okay. It's normal to not be able to find a wife. Look, I don't have one either."

"What do you mean we are different? What do you mean my temper is not normal? Say it again, please?"

"How can you slander someone out of thin air? Theresa... Theresa is not, we are comrades-in-arms; Heidi is not either, I just treat her as a capable child! Amiya? ... I think you really need to go back to school and be retrained. Your thinking is too outdated. If you continue like this, there will be problems."

"Why, do you still think I'm here to take you on a blind date? Of course not! Meeting the parents is out of the question. You ask me what that [same species] is?"

Kal'tsit raised her head and looked at Ernst and Levi in ​​the room, then looked at the [Originium Tentacle] that was slowly stretching its body, sighed, lowered her voice, and said to mon3tr beside her:

"Let's not talk about whether that thing is the same kind as you. Even if it is, it obviously doesn't have its own consciousness. It's just a doll at best. Do you think you're okay with that?"

"Ouch!"

As if to refute Kal'tsit's provocation with a slightly sarcastic tone, mon3tr quickly shook his head, turned his head away, and pretended not to look at the [Originium tentacle]. However, his sickle feet, which swayed from time to time and had nowhere to put, invisibly revealed his innermost thoughts.

Kal'tsit could only shake her head helplessly.

Seeing that the interaction between the man and the beast was over, Ernst spoke:

"Kal'tsit, I won't ask you about this monster for now. What did you want to say when you walked in just now?"

Kal'tsit was slightly stunned.

What was I trying to say?

Hiss - I forgot some of it, but I definitely didn't mean to ask Ernst to reduce some consulting activities as much as possible and give her more time.

Ernst is a man who always comes up with new ideas! Kal'tsit hasn't been here for a long time, only less than a day. In such a short time gap, you can see what Ernst has come up with?

Kal'tsit didn't understand mon3tr's aesthetics, but she knew that this was the first time in history that she was judged as "the same type" by mon3tr's judgment mechanism!

What does the same kind mean? You know, although it has never been made public, mon3tr is not an ordinary infected creature. It is fundamentally different from life forms like Originium Worms that are also covered with Originium spikes. Originium Worms only coexist with Originium, while mon3tr is a true Originium life form!

Since he believed that the tentacle in front of him was of the same kind as him, it meant that this Originium tentacle in front of him without self-awareness had, at least in terms of the most basic life structure, reached the level of mon3tr - it was also an Originium life!

Mon3tr is a creation of the previous civilization, a guard and proxy labor tool of Ama-10, a life that is like her clone, involving the soul level, and seems to be true but not true. Then what about this Originium tentacle? Whose clone is it?

Before figuring this out, Kal'tsit knew that she was definitely tied down by Ernst.

So, she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her eyebrows slightly, and made a smiling expression. She thought quickly and said:

"I mean, Mr. Ernst, please allow me to remind you that you rarely call me! I miss you so much!"

Ernst looked at Kal'tsit in surprise, as if to say, "Is once a day too little?"

But obviously, with Ernst's emotional intelligence, even if he wanted to complain about such a disappointing thing, he would not really say it out loud.

Snow Leopard just smiled politely, shrugged at Levi, and introduced himself as a middleman:

"Levi, this is Kal'tsit, the second-in-command of Rhodes Island, a big shot in the Terran scientific community who has published many academic papers on Originium research in Tremont's scientific magazine. She is also an immortal who knows a lot of secrets about the Terran world. I learned about the three crises from her."

As soon as Ernst finished speaking, Levi took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand, and showed a somewhat creepy smile:

"Nice to meet you, Dr. Kelsey."

"I'm more used to people calling me doctor." Kelsey also reached out to shake hands in response. "Dr. Levi, I've heard your name for a long time. I often heard your name when I was completing orders in Columbia... Excuse me, what is your race?"

Levi's glasses reflected the light, and he did not answer directly, but asked with interest: "What a coincidence, Miss Elini just asked me the same question. How come Dr. Kal'tsit is also concerned about this matter?"

Kal'tsit shook her head calmly: "Not really, I'm just curious. If Mr. Levi doesn't want to reveal it..."

"It's not that I don't want to reveal it, I'm just very curious, what kind of answer does Dr. Kal'tsit hope to get from me?"

Levi interrupted bluntly, with a playful expression on his face, as if he had guessed what Kal'tsit wanted to say and was waiting for Kal'tsit to reveal the answer that had already been determined.

Kal'tsit's eyes flickered, and she pursed her lips in silence, but she did not continue the topic. Instead, she asked:

"How long have Mr. Ernst and Mr. Levy known each other?"

"We are close friends regardless of age difference. It's a long story how long we have known each other." Levi answered without interest, seeming to feel a little bored because Kal'tsit took the initiative to change the subject.

Ernst also nodded: "Some time."

Kal'tsit pondered for a moment, then nodded as if she understood everything: "So, if I'm not mistaken, this...creature is also Mr. Levi's invention?"

When Levi mentioned his invention, he was a little proud. "Yes, I named it Originium Exoskeleton. With the ability of Originium to store, connect, and shape and change according to thoughts, it can basically move and change as you wish. It is still in the experimental stage, and the effect is quite good. There are no accidents."

"but......."

He paused and looked at Kal'tsit with a slightly aggressive look.

"You seem to have a better one, Dr. Kelsey?"

Kal'tsit took a half step back, looking past Levi at Ernst who was standing in front of the desk, looking like he was watching a show.

Have you finally set your sights on me?

No, I should say, have you finally set your sights on me? Collecting addiction!

Chapter 308 Kal'tsit: Don't ask, I'm sweating profusely

From the day Ernst started showing off his XP collection, Kal'tsit had anticipated this day would come.

No, perhaps it should be said that Ernst had already tried to collect himself.

Kal'tsit remembered clearly that not long ago, Ernst had seriously invited her to take up a sinecure in Kjerag as a consultant, and even offered her the temptation of salary.

But is Kal'tsit the kind of person who is greedy for money?

Of course not!

Even though Ernst threatened her with words like "You don't want to see Rhodes Island go bankrupt, do you?", Kal'tsit said that what Ernst gave was not enough!

So she chose to refuse at that time. To maintain Rhodes Island's reputation as an absolutely neutral enterprise among countries and not get too close to any country.

She thought at that time that Ernst would not give up so easily. However, she did not expect that Ernst's sugar-coated bullets, which she was ready to defend against one by one, did not come, but Ernst came up with a substitute!

Levi, and the Originium tentacles.

He also has extensive research in the field of Originium. In fact, apart from the information left by previous civilizations that Kal'tsit knows is too advanced and inconvenient to disclose, Levi's achievements in the field of Originium research and application alone have surpassed Kal'tsit.

Apart from other things, Kal'tsit could not have obtained a position in the Rhine Life Science Department with a few papers in scientific journals, but Levi was the actual director of the Rhine Life Science Department. In order to maintain the capital turnover of Rhodes Island, Kal'tsit had to work everywhere and even borrow money to invest, but Levi had already achieved financial freedom. In Columbia, every patent he sold was enough to exchange for wealth that ordinary people could hardly imagine.

Even as for the secret weapon mon3tr, Kal'tsit didn't know where Ernst got this information from. Maybe it was provided by the Beast Master Gawain, or maybe it was provided by Yelagund. In short, he was able to make Levi also imitate a fake work.

Although the Originium exoskeleton obviously does not have the autonomous capabilities of mon3tr, which can automatically complete operations such as protecting the master, working, and coordinated attacks, it should be noted that mon3tr is undoubtedly a product of pre-civilization, but the Originium exoskeleton is not.

Kal'tsit did not see any traces of previous civilization technology on it. Its workmanship was very crude, and the details were far from meeting the standards for appearance. In that era, it was an absolute counterfeit and shoddy product, but precisely because of this, it could never have been produced by a previous civilization.

Products from previous civilizations must be top-notch!

So, the truth can only be as Levi himself said, this is just an experiment and is still in the debugging process.

When did Terra produce such a talented scientist?

Kal'tsit certainly doubted Levi's identity. He had no racial characteristics, and his life history was unknown, which made Kal'tsit wonder if he was just another old zongzi who had just been opened from a coffin. But he was never really sure, because all the characteristics Levi showed highlighted one word - specious.

He is smart and his perspective on problems is different from that of the Terrans, but not that far off. He is obviously still limited to this planet and very basic scientific laws. This does not conform to the pattern of the previous civilization, which had entered the interstellar age long ago and had begun large-scale interstellar colonization and development.

His scientific level is indeed superb. Kal'tsit has never seen a Terran who can explore the essence and characteristics of Originium so quickly, so deeply, and so accurately. After all, most Terrans now still regard Originium as a convenient resource. But if you say that his level is high enough to match the level of pre-civilized human old dumplings, it is not necessarily true. After all, as mentioned above, if Levi had that level of scientific level, even without the help of pre-civilized instruments, he would definitely not have made a defective product like the exoskeleton.

Most importantly, his attitude.

It's not like Kal'tsit has never come into contact with survivors of previous civilizations. Her serial number [ama-10] is a servant of mankind. Before the Kazdel Civil War, during Rembit's [Operation Legacy], she excavated the Rhodes Island landship and met the ghost from the past [Doctor].

The Doctor, Kal'tsit, and the people of Rhodes Island during the Tower of Babel period all had a meaningful code name for him: [The Evil Spirit of Babel].

He is not unkind. In fact, in the eyes of Rhodes Island's elite operators including Scout and Ace, the doctor is an amiable person. In the eyes of Amiya and some elite operators, the doctor is often a mentor. For Amiya alone, the doctor is even her savior, allowing her to survive the attack in 1090 that killed her parents.

But only Kal'tsit knew what kind of kindness that was.

Humans also have that kind of kindness when they look at cats and dogs.

Humans are complex creatures. They provide pets with food, water, warm nests, and all the necessary conditions for life, including entertainment facilities. Some people are even willing to step forward and rescue their pets when they are in danger, even if this behavior may mean risks in the future. They are also happy to play the role of teachers, like to teach parrots to imitate, like to teach starlings to talk, like to teach cats to do backflips, like to let dogs pick up frisbees. When they are philanthropic, they treat animals even more friendly than they treat their compatriots.

But this kindness is always towards pets. When will humans - the awakened Doctor - treat these lovely cats and dogs - the current Terran humans - as equal beings?

When the war became tense and everyone expected him to make some changes, he complied with this expectation.

Liking is liking, chess pieces are chess pieces, education is life, and playing chess is work. The doctor makes the distinctions very clear, so when he calmly sends batches of young people to the battlefield to perform missions that require certain death, and then smiles at the children on Rhodes Island, using fresh, blood-stained battlefield data as children's teaching materials, he makes people feel so contradictory that it makes people feel a little schizophrenic.

He is always high above.

Kal'tsit was almost misled by the Doctor's love for humanity. It was not until the end, when she realized the Doctor's true attitude, that she decided to send the Doctor back to the sarcophagus.

She was confident that she would never make the mistake again.

Therefore, she was very sure that, at least with Levi, she could not see the Doctor's attitude that was unique to pre-civilized humans.
