Starting with the defeated female knight

By allowing them to observe and interact with the tentacles, they can get up close and personal with them, and different actions can be taken depending on the type of tentacles.

For example, if you want to cultivate a tendency of 'disgust', you can deliberately choose tentacles that make her feel disgusted or terrified, and use various uncomfortable ways of contact. Even if she senses resistance, you should force contact.

Get close to their bodies, touch their skin with a cold, slippery touch, loosen some of the restrictions, release the malice and pollution that has been actively restrained all along, and occasionally apply some painful stimulation.

If the goal is to cultivate a 'favorable' tendency, then send over whatever tentacles she likes, and make the contact as gentle and comfortable as possible.

For example, use gentle tentacles to wrap around them, use soft touches to make them feel comfortable, and add massage to help them adapt quickly...

In addition to these, there are differential treatment, psychological pollution, environmental shaping, and cooperation from others, etc...

Green has considered almost every possible scenario.

Of course, their consent was obtained beforehand, and attention was paid to controlling the degree of intensity and their mental state throughout the process.

Then, after they had reached a certain level, the door to the incubation room was opened to them.

Tentacles specifically designed to absorb power were displayed nearby. As the prepared nuns approached, they all lowered their heads and used their specially cultivated mouthparts to pierce their skin, slowly extracting nutrients and life force from their blood.

Of course, the extra meals will be made up for afterwards, and they will be covered with a whole layer of nutrient solution.

It not only fully replenished the deficiencies in their bodies, but even had a surplus, which in turn promoted their development and growth.

Green even differentiated the nutrient solutions, deliberately feeding those who were to be trained to dislike tentacles the most primitive form of nutrient solution, while feeding those who were trained to like tentacles the modified version. Although the nutritional value was not much different, the taste was completely different.

Delicious food can make you eat an extra bowl of rice, while unpalatable food can make you want to vomit. But it is still edible and highly nutritious. In comparison, it is roughly equivalent to bitter melon.

Even so, the experiment proceeded smoothly.

Needless to say, those who cultivated goodwill had no problem with it, and as for those who cultivated badwill, since Green had given them a heads-up beforehand and promised that they could stay at the cathedral afterward, they had no objections and even worked harder than those who cultivated goodwill.

After all, cultivating dislike is much harder for them than cultivating goodwill. Coupled with Green's deliberate restraint, if they don't put in more effort, how can they meet the requirements of the Tentacle Master?

In fact, as they grew more accustomed to the disgusting tentacles in the later stages, they even asked Green to treat them even worse.

"Please intensify your punishment, harm us, even through pollution, anything that instills fear in us..."

"We are apprehensive, we are uneasy, we are adapting to your grace and unable to feel aversion. If this continues, we may not be able to meet your requirements..."

Green agreed halfway, meaning he would go a little further, but not go overboard.

It's not that he's considering anything in particular; the main thing is that he's currently studying the differences in properties rather than the limits.

Currently, depending on the different treatment methods, the tentacles cultivated by the two sides have begun to show obvious differences.

Adding a little more emphasis to make the distinction more obvious is enough; it's sufficient for research, but there's no need to push them to a certain extreme.

Moreover, if it were purely out of disgust, he wouldn't need the people of Dawn City to do it.

Thus, under Green's control, the experiment proceeded very smoothly until the very end, regardless of whether it was fostering goodwill, illwill, or cultivating certain special tendencies.

If everything is going so smoothly, then where did that nun who seemed to be going crazy at the beginning come from?

The answer is that she did not participate in the experiment at all, and Green did not touch her at all.

But it's not that she has any health problems, or that Green doesn't like her.

It's very simple. When you do a control experiment, you always need to keep a standard sample, right?

Originally, Green kept her because her conditions were relatively average, planning to use her to cultivate a batch of tentacles after the experiment was over, and then compare them with those of others to obtain more detailed results.

But Green never expected that this child, who was not in the plan at all, would cause such an accident.

In fact, Green had noticed that she was in a bad mood a while ago. After asking her about it, he told her about his plans, and she expressed her understanding at the time.

but now......

Silly child, I already told you you didn't do anything wrong, you just need to wait.

I'm not lying to you, nor am I trying to comfort you. You're just like them; you'll have to participate in the experiment sooner or later.

The tentacle gently stroked her head, soothing her softly.

The trembling subsided slightly, but her face was still very red.

The nun, kneeling on the ground, trembled as she felt the gentle touch on her head, her guilt and remorse growing stronger.

Of course she knew she was wrong, of course she remembered what Green had told her, and of course she knew that the gods had treated her well.

But she just couldn't help it.

Rather, it's because the gods were so good to her that she felt a pang of loss whenever she watched other nuns enter and leave the nurturing room she longed for.

In normal times, whether it's good or bad feelings, whether it's playing with gentle tentacles or doing things you don't like to cultivate disgust, whether it's being gently stroked by tentacles or trembling with fear from the pollution and malice released by tentacles.

Whenever she sees these things, whether good or bad, or even worse, a hint of envy appears in her eyes, and the emptiness in her heart gradually widens.

She wasn't jealous; having already been granted permission by God to enter the church, she had no reason to be jealous. She simply longed for it.

She longed for the gods to look at her more, to care for her more, and for her to contribute more to the gods and do something to help them.

Even though a long time has passed, she still clearly remembers how excited she was that afternoon when she was chosen by the gods. She couldn't sleep much that night, which affected her medical examination the next day.

When the gods assigned tasks to others, she also wondered how she would be assigned tasks and what kind of favor or 'malice' she would receive.

But in the end, she got nothing.

It's not because I received too little that I feel disappointed, but because I didn't give anything and couldn't give back to the gods that I feel sad.

She tried her best to endure it, constantly reminding herself to listen to the gods and to become a 'standard'.

But I still couldn't help feeling a sense of loss.

Unfortunately, aside from amusing people and when needed, Green's tentacles are very well-behaved; they will even give way when you encounter them in the hallway.

The emptiness grew more intense, and the craving intensified. In the end, she would rather have the gods strangle her than continue like this.

She wanted to be useful to the gods. She wanted to be favored by the gods like others, to use her blood and nutrients to cultivate tentacles like crops are cultivated in soil. If that didn't work, she would be willing to accept it if the gods could take pleasure in tormenting her.

Because of his previous understanding and patience, and because Green really didn't expect that for a fanatical believer, being close to God but unable to do anything would be such a torment.

So until the outbreak, he didn't realize how serious the child's condition was.

But it’s actually not a big problem.

After all, the experiment was nearing its end, and it was time for the child to make his appearance.

Moreover, if he had known she had been holding back so much, even at the cost of slightly sacrificing the accuracy of the experiment, he would have put the child in the incubation room long ago.

Okay, okay, stop crying. It's my fault; I didn't notice how you were feeling.

"Honey, I promise I won't let you be worse than others; in fact, I'll make sure you get even more attention."

Then, amidst the nun's profuse gratitude, Green opened the door to the incubation room and let her in.

Furthermore, in order to satisfy the child's desire to be cared for, and as compensation for the work mistake.

After being thrown in, Green gave her special treatment, not letting her lie on the special cultivation bed, but letting her stand in a place with more tentacles, so she could enjoy being watched and surrounded.

Next, the experiment began.

The nun trembled slightly with excitement, and her face flushed.

The gods saw her, and finally agreed to let her become soil.

However, it is obvious that absorbing power is a drain on one's health. Although Green made the scene look fierce in order to make her happy, it was just for show. In reality, he would definitely reduce the absorption efficiency.

Even so, excessive energy absorption is still too bad for ordinary people. For her health, Green thought for a moment and moved another tentacle in front of her.

Take it!

hold.

For safety reasons, and also to pursue efficiency, Green specially brought over a nutrient solution tentacle, which absorbed the nutrients and vitality in her body at the same time.

Next, absorption begins.

With the movement of the tentacles and the absorption by the mouthparts, the nun's nutrients and life force rapidly drained away.

At the same time, the constantly undulating and wriggling modified healing tentacles continuously secrete replenishing nutrients and energy, allowing her body to replenish itself while it continuously loses nutrients, thus forming a certain balance.

The outer tentacles absorb energy, while the inner tentacles continuously replenish it, coupled with the sense of relief that they can finally do something for the gods.

Under the combined effects, she felt as if she were in the legendary heaven.

Finally, I was able to help...

Finally, I'm not the one being ignored anymore...

If only I could stay by the adults' side forever, like soil...

She thought vaguely.

After an unknown period of time, she was put down, and due to the loss of nutrients and vitality, her consciousness became somewhat blurred.

"God...my lord..."

Are you satisfied now?

The tentacle tapped her forehead.

Also, I've said it countless times, I'm not a god.

"Then... Lord Grin..."

【...】

Although it still felt a bit strange, Tentacles temporarily tolerated her way of addressing him, considering he wasn't a god.

After resolving the last and only unexpected issue, the experiment successfully concluded.

Originally, Green thought that once the tentacles were classified and the nature and extent of the mutations were measured, this matter would be temporarily concluded.

But the final result was unexpected.

Green was dumbfounded when he saw the mutation level on the report, which was one digit higher than that of the other tentacles.

What does it mean to have the least standard of all?

Yes, the child who was originally intended to be used as a standard by Green, but the tentacles that mutated from her as a host were the most prominent.

As for others, although their nature changes due to various circumstances, for example, the degree of variation of those with ill feelings is generally worse and lower than that of those with good feelings. They are relatively less likely to inherit the advantages of the host, and their own defects are easily amplified, resulting in a low success rate. However, if they succeed occasionally, their aggression and combat power will be relatively strong.

As for positive feelings, not only are the degree of mutation and excellence high, but there will also be some differences depending on the host's emotional type.

For example, tentacles with a gentle tendency will be soft and healing, while those with a dependent tendency will be hard and protective. There are also enchantments, buffs, and various support types, although damage and combat types are less likely to occur...

Of course, this is just a tendency; the most fundamental factor is actually the quality of the host.

As for that special standard...

After further experiments, Green came to a very absurd conclusion.

【Fuck】

Is this BYD product based on the level of repression?

"In a sense, yes, but to put it more academically, it should be called 'the yearning of the spirit and the flesh'."

In this world, the spirit truly possesses power.

When the desire grows stronger, even burning, the mind will instinctively embrace and nourish itself, even without any conscious effort.

Moreover, after the experiment, Green also discovered that in order for the tentacles to inherit more of the host's traits, it is best to maintain the integrity of the host's mind.

In more academic terms, we need to reduce its intervention and pollution, allowing the host to act spontaneously.

In simpler terms, he shouldn't take the initiative; in fact, it's best to wait for the other party to make the request.

The sample that was intended to be used as a standard just happened to meet these two conditions, so it produced a high-quality mutation.

【No, what do I do?】

[Are you just maxing out their affection level and then leaving them there unattended?]

Green was numb.

But as he was feeling numb, he remembered something, turned his attention to Edith who was about to enter the private incubation room, and pulled her back.
