Chapter 11: Becoming a Dad

Author's note:

As promised, here are 5 chaps since we reached our small goal. Sorry it was a little late since i didn't expect to suddenly double in power stones overnight.

I've learned my lesson so I'll start stockpiling chapters from now on so I can do mass releases in the future like a boss.

The next day, Quinn woke up refreshed and full of energy (he was always filled with energy. Literally. It's just that he's too lazy to use it.)

He first had breakfast with Anrod before Alice took the initiative to remind Quinn of his skill creation chance. Quinn immediately responded and created the telekinesis skill as soon as he woke up.

The skill's effective range was 10 meters at level one and would reach a hundred meters at level 10.

The first thing Quinn did was to carry the bed he was currently on into the air. Now he finally felt what riding a magic carpet feels like, or in his case, a magic bed.

Keeping the bed in the air was already enough to level up the skill a few times. When Quinn finally placed down all the furnitures in the right places, the skill finally broke through to Tier 1. The skill didn't have any change and only continued increasing it's range, but it did give him the option of getting the additional ability of being able to read minds or having an invisible force field surrounding him.

Quinn felt like he didn't need any extra protection so he chose the mind reading ability. The specific ability was to read minds perfectly of those loyal to him but only able to retrieve random information from someone neutral or hostile.

"That's good too I guess. With this skill, nobody can betray me in the future."

Now that that skill was taken care of, it was time to talk about another one. Specifically, the puppet making one.

Quinn took out the flesh and souls and started fusing them. The flesh group quickly gathered themselves into three while the souls also gathered in groups as if they had minds of their own.

Quinn decided to test first so three lumps of flesh quickly fused together into one huge lump. It then started squirming and turned into a humanoid shape. Very soon, bones were being made inside while veins and muscles were already starting to become visible. As soon as all the important parts were made, the body was then slowly covered by white skin starting from the bottom. A slim and perfect body was slowly created in front of him.

When it was time for the puppet's head, a very handsome face with sharp pointy ears appeared. Yes, that's right. Quinn modified it slightly to look like that of an elf.

After the body was done, three soul orbs fused into one and shot towards the middle of the elf's eyebrows, entering it's head. Nothing happened for a when while when Quinn saw the elf's eyes slowly open.

The very first expression it had on his face was curiosity. He eyed Quinn curiously before understanding that the person in front of him was his "father" through their soul connection. He then scanned the surroundings, taking in all the new sights.

In essence, it had the soul that a newborn baby would have. Fortunately, it already had a perfect adult body so it only had to learn and experience more.

Quinn watched the elf for a bit before getting his attention once more. "There will be more of you later on and it would be really troublesome to think of names for all of you so I'll just name you One and also name the others according to their birth."

One didn't understand the words that came out of Quinn's mouth but he understood his intentions through their connection.

Quinn checked One's status and a new screen appeared in front of him.

Name: One

Level 1

Class: none

STR: -

AGI: -

INT: -

WIL: -

CON: -

CHA: -

Note: Puppet's attributes mainly rely on the owner. Puppet inherits 50% of the total attributes of the owner.

Note: Puppets receive skill points instead of attributes for every level up.

Quinn thought for a moment before deciding to make him the swordsman or knight for the team. He adjusted the attribute ratio until it looked like this.

Name: One

Race: Human

Level 1

Class: none

STR: 15%

AGI: 5%

INT: 5%

WIL: 5%

CON: 15%

CHA: 5%

Loyalty: 100% (will die for you)

Note: 50% of gained xp will be transferred to the owner.

Quinn current had a total of 854 attribute points and half of that was 427. 30% of that was distributed evenly between STR and CON to give him attack power and endurance to withstand hits.

Quinn was also greatly for the 50% xp gain. Although it was only half, imagine how many he will be receiving when he sends out all 20 puppets. Aside from his skills, his levels would also skyrocket to the skies.

Quinn then remembered that he was able to give a mastery to the puppets after reaching Tier 1 for the skill so he gave One 'Sword Mastery'. This directly gave One 10% attack bonus when using swords and twice the training speed with sword related skills. At the same time, he was also given a [SLASH] skill.

Upon seeing that the puppet creation was successful, he then decided to continue making more babies, ahem, puppets.

Quinn made 9 more puppets to make 10 puppets in total. There were 5 men and 5 women. As for the last 10 slots, Quinn asked Alice about it. "Hey, aside from humans, can I make other races such as dragons too?"

[You can, Host. Although the skill name says Human Puppet Creation, the name does not limit what you can create with it. You can make legendary dragons, although you would need far more flesh and souls to create one since dragons are one of the top races. If not, you're just making another human in a dragon's shape like your elves.]

"Uh, how many would I need?"

[At least thousands of monsters would be sacrificed and could even reach tens of thousands if you want to use non-tiered monsters.]

Quinn sucked a cold breath hearing the astronomical numbers but still sighed in relief in the end. "I don't have to worry about it. i don't even have to do anything and just send out my puppets, although that would be for later because my puppets still need to learn about the world."

Thinking of a solution for his children's education, Quinn just decided to build a school with special effects.

Quinn quickly made a blueprint for the school and soon the inform appeared in front of him.

[SCHOOL]

Description: A building for spreading knowledge. Raises the literacy and culture level of the territory.

Effect: All the necessary knowledge for each class with be directly transmitted to the appointed teachers for them to personally refine and transfer them effectively to students.

Quinn was happy with this function. With it, he didn't have to worry about nurturing teachers. The only problem was, knowledge on various different subjects were required as building materials.

If it was knowledge on novels and games, he probably had a lot. The problem was it wasn't the type of knowledge he needed.

Thinking of a solution, Quinn's eyes wandered towards the forum again since would often come here to solve his problems.

Quinn's eyes lit up in realization. Earth definitely had a diversity of talents and experts.

Quickly opening the forums, he opened another trade. Quinn was already relatively famous so it gained attention pretty quickly.

This time, people were surprised that he was buying knowledge. He was looking for various knowledge such as in agriculture, various industries, basic etiquette and many more. Moreover, the rewards were really rich.

There was a batch refined meat the was countless of time more nutritious and delicious than normal meat that would be rewarded to the most informative and comprehensive compilation. Moreover, the top 5 would have an accompanying Tier 1 weapon and the first place would have a full set of Tier 1 equipment.

People knew that Gaia judged the player's competency and compared whether he really can achieve what he claimed so all of them believed what Quinn said.

People were astonished at the luxurious rewards and even more so at the full set Tier 1 equipment. Currently, all the Tier 1 equipment owned by players all came from Quinn.

At the same time, countless experts in various areas went crazy as they madly compiled the most knowledge they could gather.

It only took about half a day before compiled knowledge was already being submitted. The people were fast since they didn't need to physically type. They only needed to send their thoughts on the interface and it would be automatically typed.

Farming, fishing, hunting to basic etiquette, business, management were all included. There were even some martial artists who shared some knowledge on swords, sabers, spears, bows and various weapons.

At the same time, the rankings were also constantly changing as more and more people submitted. It took a few more hours before champions in some areas were already determined. The rankings were still changing but they remained stable at the top.

It was only during nighttime that Quinn finally decided to distribute the rewards. He took out all the meat and equipment he prepared beforehand and sent them all privately to the respective winners.

After finishing the job, he found that he was again low on supply. Quinn smiled bitterly at the thought of going back to the forest to restock.
