Of course, in light of the final gains, Bai Yi thought the extra few days spent were worth it.
But since time was limited, Bai Yi only cultivated a few common Beastman species, like Wolfman, Catman, Fox-man, Tiger-man, and Lion-man, to conduct preliminary testing.
The majority of the effort was still put into creating a set of independent reproduction systems for these Beastmen.
Just as Bai Yi initially envisioned, reproduction among different species relied on a reproductive organ within them.
Relying on a special Beastman infant body that does not grow or develop but can secrete spores to produce growth spores of different Beastman races.
And these spores also contain the genes needed by several other races.
It’s just that these extra genes do not express themselves until their main body matures, becoming a special infant body within their reproductive organs.
Additionally, the secretion of these spores can be fully controlled by the Beastman’s consciousness, allowing the secretion of different kinds or multiple types of spores as needed.
But to ensure survival in extreme conditions, these newly cultivated Beastmen all appear in battle form.
This ensures they can survive even in combat states and be deployed immediately.
As for the other body of the Beastmen, it will be cultivated only when their main body matures and confirms that the current environment is suitable for logistical work.
Once their humanoid body matures, it is stored in a Space for use.
In terms of gene distribution for the two bodies, as Bai Yi initially envisioned, the battle state naturally prioritizes pure combat power.
It also benchmarks the genes of the Insect Swarm.
However, there are subtle changes due to the different body structures of the two.
Of course, because of these structural differences, their gene expression effects also differ slightly.
The most obvious is the gene for self-healing, which exhibits effects far surpassing that of the Insect Swarm when applied to Beastmen.
After all, the essence of self-healing lies in the rapid repair of wounds through cellular self-replication, which works well on flesh but is less applicable to the Insect Swarm, which mostly has an exoskeleton, not quite fitting.
Only now that the exoskeleton has evolved into metal, enabling metalization to assist in repair, has the self-healing ability advanced to another level.
This counts as a small collateral benefit brought by metalization.
In contrast, under Bai Yi’s deliberate adjustments, the Beastman is simply a muscle monster, with a body the size of a van in battle state.
It’s like when the gene entry for strength attribute is applied to the Undead Clan, it struggles to express due to physiological structure issues, failing to show any effect.
This is a representation of physiological structure not aligning with genes, causing negative impacts.
Similarly humanoid, the witch is relatively reasonable.
The witch was initially designed with Magic as the focus, and since these genes are to be used on themselves.
To limit her style, muscle on her body was restricted, so the effect of the strength attribute amplification entry is merely normally expressed, not showing its full potential.
As for the Beastman’s own style, Bai Yi designed it referencing those muscle monsters once seen online.
It is a Melee type soldier through and through, being all about violence as much as possible, with physiological structure support, the effects brought by these attribute amplification entries are quite the opposite of the Undead Clan, significantly amplified.
It’s the same logic for self-healing entries.
This is, to some extent, a benefit of ’not being human’.
As for the standard of the Insect Swarm and Witch Clan, the focus for both metalization and Elemental Affinity varies in both states.
In combat state, metalization focuses more on reinforcing one’s skeleton and claws like a witch, whereas for Elements, the focus is more on resistance to Elemental damage.
It emphasizes being Thick-skinned, able to adapt to a majority of inhospitable environments while maintaining adequate combat power.
Bai Yi could even say, that currently, these Beastmen are the most tenacious race she has cultivated, bar none.
Even the Insect Swarm and the witch can’t compare with them.
In human state, metalization and Elemental Affinity focus more on operation, ensuring broader adaptability to production and logistical work.
Whether the target area is suitable for developing Magic or technology, there are always corresponding talents that can adapt.
And this is only the common genes Bai Yi has at present.
The massive physique in battle form clearly isn’t limited to possessing just this ability.
Bai Yi specifically, for the combat form of these Beastmen, additionally extracted some genes from the Low-tier plants she traded in, integrating them into the gene pool!
Beastman Hunting Party: When our ancestors first encountered these deep-space visitors, there was only one of them, even though it was strong and powerful, it was merely a speck of dust in the Starry Sky; no one paid it any mind, but facts proved us wrong!
The fangs of the hunting party (Beastman) devour planets, extending their claws towards the Federation, but it was all too late, blood staining the ground, one planet after another fell silent amidst this...
[Note: Haha, scared? I wish I could say this is false, but this is the reality happening throughout the Federation! You could be next! Unless you make the most significant decision of your life...
Prove your strength and courage to everyone, join the Federation Guard, become a Hero resisting the hunting party! Become the next legend!]
