Chapter 228: Simulation

Yuri crouched down on the grassy ground in Mark's World Space and began her furious notetaking. She wrote everything under the title "Make A Golden Savage Out of Me Experiment."

On the other hand, the Golden Savage Sheep Woman that Mark had just created ran around the meadows, eating grass. Even though it had become a human-like creature, it hadn't become truly sentient.

It was a sheep in human form.

Mark ignored the creature—even though it was quite a beautiful naked, feminine, sight—and created a beautiful pair of round spectacles. He simply slipped it into Yuri's face amidst her work.

She looked up from her notes, instinctively pushing up the specs with her wrist.

"Why the specs?" she asked. "My vision is fine."

"Adds to the charm," he replied.

She crouched back down and began scribbling once more. Her handwriting was really messy, to the point Mark could barely make out the words. She was all about writing her thoughts out at the most efficient speed.

"Why do you always write these things in a note?" he asked. "You don't ever review it later—and your memory is impeccable. Aren't the notes a waste of effort?"

"Organization is a whole other thing from memorization, Mark."

Mark rubbed his soul-like jaws. "Makes sense. So you like to organize your thoughts in a paper so that you don't turn it messy with too much to do?"

"Not really, babe," she said. "My mind is chaos, I am but a carrier of its ideas."

Mark furrowed his brows. "What do you mean?"

"I have too many ideas. Too many thoughts. I live more inside my mind than in reality. So, when I have so many thoughts, it also means that I can't clearly distinguish between important thoughts and unimportant ones."

"Oh!" Mark nodded. "So you turn the infinite into finite. Among your many thoughts, you put the important ones in the note so that you can make that thought deeper."

"Yes. Also, one idea can branch off and create more ideas. Many people think they know how to 'think' but actually, they don't know how to do that."

"As in?"

"Well, as I said, one idea can branch off and create many more ideas. Then, in essence, a good thinker is a person who can distinguish between good and bad ideas.

"Since I have lots of ideas at any given moment, I constantly have to decide what idea I will branch off with the most. What ideas are worth my thinking energy? What ideas are just useless even as time passes?

"But most people have ideas and think about it—without really caring if it's a good or bad idea. They think about everything, so they head nowhere, and are stagnant."

Mark nodded. "But what is the difference between good ideas and bad ideas in your mind?"

"Simple. Good ideas can make my life better, bad ideas can make it worse, and neutral ideas can't really change my life.

"I think, if a person just focuses his attention on good ideas all the time, he is bound to reach a higher standing in life.

"Even if he is a beggar, instead of thinking and extrapolating on a bad idea like suicide for example, he could just think about something good like creating a new life skill for himself that might or might not help him reach a better standing."

Mark shook his head. "That's a very rational approach, but you just don't understand human nature well enough. People don't think about their thoughts unless someone tells them to—or unless they see how it can help.

"Also, good ideas take effort, people at the bottom are usually too lazy to even think about good ideas. They rationalize their laziness with—Ah, it's too much for me. I can't do that. Or even, oh… I will do that tomorrow."

Yuri shrugged. "Thinking about other people who have nothing to do with me is also a bad idea in my mind, so I don't think about them. But anyway, now, I have a comprehensive understanding of the Golden Savage thing."

Mark perked up.

She stood up and stared at the Golden Savage woman that Mark had created. "First of all, let's begin with what we understand now." Closing the note, she smiled.

He said, "What do we know?"

"First of all, we know that the Heart Blood didn't work on the Sheep Men you created before. We also know that it worked on the Sheep Woman you just created after learning the molecular structure of the humans of the Savage World."

"Yep," he said.

"We can ignore the fact that you chose a male sheep to transform into a human when you thought it would die and used a female sheep when you thought it would survive."

"Don't throw cheap shots at me and continue."

"Yes, so we also know that the reason why the Sheep Man died was because the World Will exploded itself inside him. But it didn't do that with the Sheep Woman. Why? That's the first question."

"Because the sheep is truly similar to a human that the Savage World created at this point."

Yuri nodded. "Thus, we now know why the Sheep Man exploded, too. It was probably a sort of security measure by the Savage World's Will. It didn't want the power of Savages to go into the hands of Otherworlders—so when it entered the body of an otherworldly creation, it self-exploded."

Mark thought about that. It was a very great guess; most probably true. If he was the World Will and he gained the power to create a race like the Savages, he wouldn't want strangers to learn to do the same thing.

The humans he created were, in the end, otherworldly influenced creatures at their core. So of course, when he tried to turn them into Golden Savages, the World Will's mechanism against outsiders kicked in and it exploded.

But now, the sheep was a native. In fact, even the Savage World couldn't tell that Mark himself  was an intruder even when he left the protection of the dungeons.

So, now, a lot of things became clear to Mark. The World Will was just working on its own terms and it didn't explode because he antagonised it when he ate its Avatar.

"So we know that much," Mark said. "Now the question is, will it work the same for you in particular."

Yuri nodded, satisfied at how good the pinpointing Mark did was.

"I am a Hunter, and not a human. The Hunter World designed me in the molecular level to transform me into a Hunter, so we would have to care about that, too."

So, trying to make her into a Golden Savage was a dangerous experiment. She was made into a Hunter using a demon corpse as the ingrediant. So, did she have some kind of small remnant of demon bloodline within her?

What if it counteracted the Golden Savage Heart Blood?

What if her Hunter status and ability interfered and the World Will inside her exploded?

So, the questions were numerous.

"Is there any way we can go through with it without any worry of it going bad?" He asked, frowning.

"Yes, there is a way," Yuri replied. "Not a 100% panacea, but a way indeed."

"I'm all ears."

"You can copy my body at the molecular level and create a Sheep Woman. She will be a Hunter without any Hunter Ability. Then, we can try using the Heart Blood that doesn't contain any World Will to increase its body strength to match mine."

"So you want to create as much of a good clone of yourself as possible so that we can do a simulation of creating a Golden Savage out of yourself without putting you in danger."

"Indeed."

That means they would have multiple chances at the experiment. But it was still not a hundred percent panacea as she said. It was risky, as risky as any gamble could be.

"It's not fully safe," he said.

She nodded. "But it's safer than doing it on myself without any simulations. The rest would be upto luck, though."

After contemplating a bit, Mark nodded, too. If she wanted to take the risk, he was also willing to give the simulation a go. If it failed, he wouldn't lose much anyway.

Of course, before trying it on Yuri herself, he would need 100% certainty.

For starters, he had to first learn Yuri's molecular structure. Only then could he create a clone.

He sat down cross legged and began the study.

Dream Input!

Dream Input!

Dream Input!

After a lot of hours of sitting still infront of him, Yuri felt Mark's brows stir. He smiled and she knew he had learned it all. His smug expression was quite easy to read.

Her molecular structure was much, much more chaotic and hard to learn than the Savage World human. But if it was just about memorizing, Mark could do it easily.

Mark moved towards a sheep amidst the flock and pressed his palm against its horns.

Alchemic Shapeshifting!

The sheep's body transformed, slowly, into a Sheep Woman. Its body was similar to Yuri at the very molecular level!
