Chapter 3: I choose the ordinary way!

  Su Bei looked at the hologram, showing nature and animals. He was touching her eyes. Was this a cerebral projection?

  He didn’t know he could do that.

  [I have sent you data into your eyes to facilitate certain actions. Particularly, you will be able to see everything in the main room]

  Oh, well? Each time the system intervened, Su Bei was surprised by its new functions.

  He thought in his head that the system was hiding a lot from him, but didn’t linger long. As long as it doesn’t hurt him, he doesn’t mind.

  While the trees continued to grow, the animals were quickly forming a food chain. He turned his attention back to the hologram, and he realized that it was quiet.

  Nature lacked its central element. Something that cannot exist otherwise. It’s an intelligent species. It was the time for humans to appear.

  “Simulacrum, starts multiple simulations.”

  [Launching simulations]

  Su Bei closed his eyes. Beneath a turbulent ocean, he fell deep into his consciousness, replaying the events like a movie.

  He returned to the past, sometimes to the future, and sometimes remained in the present.

  Like the law of nature, many developments have failed, and new paths have opened up. It was a natural direction for humans, composed of genes, to develop genetic derivations

  At the beginning of human history, there were several species. Homo sapiens, who were the winner, and the others who disappeared throughout history. And the humans in front were categorized in the second part.

  Vile bumps grew, sometimes three-eyed humans developed and in the past humans mixed with other species coexisted.

  Humans, but also non-humans.

  In front of him, humans resembling monsters were born and died.

  He realized for the first time that in several universes, humans could be visualized in a variety of disturbing ways.

  Were humans a fortunate species?

  However, he continued to move quickly through the scenes. Finally, he found a simulation that caught his curiosity.

  He went straight into simulation #1022

  A furry animal was born in the forest, accompanied by its congeners, which rapidly became numerous. They formed a distinct community in the trees.

  The oldest monkey had become the leader, ordering the other monkeys to pick berries.

  He occupied the space and monopolized the females. Everyone hated him.

  He lived in luxury, but this stagnation has had the effect of stopping evolution.

  The monkeys were no longer able to procreate, while the chief was only able to grow consanguineous species. High death rate.

  Su Bei patted the armrest, staring at the screen. That didn’t suit him.

  He opened the menu and touched a window.

  [Unit Generator]

  [You can materialize a unit in your space]

  [The first unit is free]

  He had left this feature aside, but this time he was thinking of using it. Without hesitation, he used his free coupon.

  He randomly clicked on a female in the trees.

  [It seems that your target is an existing race! Your unit will be born in the womb of a female]

  “Well.”

  This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

  [I recommend intervening directly.]

  Su Bei put his hand under his chin.

  “I think so, too.”

  “However, it’s going to work against my character in the future.”

  [...]

  Su Bei thought the system would be curious, but the short answer had thrown him off balance. Anyway, Su Bei had finished.

  In the bottom, a female gave birth. He had great expectations of the future baby.

  ***

  [Creation of unit…]

  [Completed]

  [Check vital signs…OK]

  [Ding! Lu Wi, please fulfill the reason for your existence!]

  [Unit, remember this! Your name is Lu Wi!]

  …

  It was dark and sticky, but the surrounding heat calmed him. It was slimy but reassuring at the same time. A strange sensation of being in a pocket of liquid water.

  Soon, a steady heartbeat was making him sleepy.

  Where was he?

  He felt a deep impulse and opened his eyes slowly. A light burnt his retinas, but he still managed to open his eyes after an hour.

  Lu Wi was energetic. He was already trying to get on both feet. However, he collapsed on the edge of the nest.

  A brown pillar with extensions to the sides.

  Objects clung to the ground, and he instinctively called it a tree. Branches have broken. His body is drawn downwards.

  Lu Wi had an instinctive feeling of death. Before falling out of the tree, a hand held him.

  He turned his head back.

  A furry animal looked at him curiously. It stared into his eyes before moving away. But the most important thing was the food in its mouth.

  He spotted him and slowly backtracked.

  “...?”

  Like an animal facing a predator, Lu Wi felt scared. He got on all fours and showed his teeth.

  But he felt something soft and sticky lick his face. Turning his head, he stared at the animal that looked just like him.

  “Mother.”

  He recited a word without having previously learned its meaning.

  Is it a natural feeling or something else? Lu Wi didn’t know.

  Images flashed through his mind.

  He immediately closed his eyes, absorbing all the information in his head. He learned, for the first time, the concept of family.

  Meanwhile, his mother stepped forward and retrieved the fruit from the other animal in front of him. He was curious. He could feel a slight sadness emanating from him.

  At the same time, her mother seemed sad too.

  However, he was too preoccupied with eating the food. When he turned his head, the man had already come down from the tree.

  Lu Wi stayed up for a few hours, familiarizing himself with his new life, then fell to sleep.

  The next day, he woke up in his mother’s arm at the top of a tree.

  Like a normal routine, he woke up, ate and then slept. Meantime, in his spare time, he reviewed the information that was transmitted to him in real time.

  Redundantly, he called these fellow human being's Homo sapiens. In a nutshell, Lu Wi’s impression of these Homo sapiens was that they lived in the raw.

  They hunted individually, not in groups.

  The females stayed up high when the child was born, causing a labor shortage.

  When someone was injured, they were left on the ground.

  “Ineffective …”

  And the day he met his father finally came.

  In the morning, his mother would carry him in a bag made of large leaves, before taking him down from the tree.

  As he descended, he could see hundreds of other people like him, descending. It was a spectacular scene, with everyone joining in.

  Grumm…!

  Roahh?!

  Once they finally reached the ground, everyone was grumbling. Some of the babies on their backs even mimicked their mother's actions.

  It was… childish, thought Lu Wi.

  Unlike the others, he continued up the forest until we reached the meeting point.

  He had closed his mouth.

  In front of him stood hundreds of women and their children. They were divided into two separate groups. His mother kissed him and put him down before joining the women.

  A drum sounded in the forest.

  It was the sound of the Homo sapiens’s palms smashing against their chests. Then, without expectation, a Homo sapiens stepped out with unprecedented arrogance.

  Veins were popping out all over his head.

  For the first time in his life, he had understood the mission assigned to him. To kill the man in front of him, his father.

  ***

  It would be easy to intervene directly and kill the bastard. Su Bei was annoyed. In reality, he was simply jealous of his position. However, as the system knew, he remained silent.

  “Simulacrum, show me Lu Wi’s emotional state. I think it’s the right time.”

  [Lu Wi]

  [Emotional: Angry]

  [Potential intelligence: Middle]

  “Oh? It seems that the mission, injected directly into his soul, had a direct effect. It worked.”

  Su Bei seemed amused.

  Once it had been created, it was given a predefined status, which enabled it to stand out from the others.

  It also introduced basic knowledge, such as the concept of family, nomination and so on.

  His potential may have been middle, but that made him the most intelligent person of his time. The intelligence of all current Homo sapiens was no match for him.

  It seems that the succession took place and Lu Wi was chosen as his successor.
