He finished reviewing all the Races.
Each of the five Races had its own strengths and weaknesses.
[Human Race] Capable of both combat and production, with very average Attributes.
[Beastman] Strongest in close combat. They're fierce and brave in battle, but their production Quality is poor.
[Elf] Strong at range, with a good Appearance. They are weaker in close combat, and their production capabilities are good, similar to Humans.
[Skeleton] The most numerous and completely fearless, but they cannot produce Supplies. They can only use captives for production.
[Goblin] Numerous, with many tactical options, but their production Quality is poor. They are prone to breaking down when at a disadvantage in battle.
Zhao Chi didn't agonize over which Race to choose.
Instead, he clicked on Racial Attributes.
A golden light appeared.
〖Current Race meets the conditions for "Transplantation." Transfer information?〗
Transfer.
〖Please select the transfer target.〗
Zhao Chi considered for a moment.
He decided to use the Human Race as the base and transfer information from the other Races.
After all, he would be living with them day in and day out.
Having the Human Race around would be the most comfortable and pleasing to the eye.
First, he transferred the Lifespan.
Naturally, he transferred the Elves' super-long Lifespan of 1,000 years.
However, he kept the coming-of-age Age at the Human standard of 18.
This way, the period between 18 and 300 years old would be their prime, their peak youth.
Their Appearance and Body could remain at their peak indefinitely.
He didn't change their Height or Body Weight, keeping them the same size as Humans.
If he made them as large as Beastmen, they would consume a massive amount of food, and their hulking, bearish appearance wasn't very appealing.
Besides, a larger body type would make them easier for enemies to hit.
If he made them as small as Goblins, they would only be able to hit the enemy's waist, making a Headshot rather difficult.
The current Human Height and Body Weight were just right.
He changed their Appearance to the Elf Race's average of 6 points.
For their Attributes:
He transferred the Beastman's Constitution and Power, and the Elf's agility and Intelligence.
This brought all of the Human Race's Attributes to 6 points, with their Total Attributes leaping to 24.
For the Supplement quantity, he chose the Skeleton's 10 people per day.
And for their Talent, he chose the Skeleton's Fearless.
Zhao Chi had specifically checked this.
This "Fearless" Talent only prevented their Morale from collapsing, allowing them to be dauntless in battle.
They would still possess the full range of human emotions.
It wouldn't neuter emotions like fear or dread.
They would still fear pain, but they would advance into the enemy's blades nonetheless.
They would still fear death, but they would not shrink back because of that fear.
It was fearlessness of the Will!
Not an emotional deficiency!
Beyond the listed information, there was much more optional information.
For example, gender.
Skeletons had no gender.
Elves, however, could choose to be male or female.
The method of appearance could also be chosen.
Skeletons crawled out of the ground.
Elves were born from the Tree of Life, which was why they could choose their gender.
Zhao Chi thought carefully for a while.
'My current Talent is very suitable for leading Female Soldiers into battle.'
'If I transfer the gender trait from the Elves, I can make them all women.'
'And the production method... I'll just have them emerge from the ground.'
After all, the Tree of Life could be destroyed.
And refugees could be harmed by enemies.
Crawling out of the ground was the safest way.
After much deliberation, he finally made his decision.
Gender: all female. Production method: emerging from the earth.
The Humans of the Territory World were not the same as the Humans of the real world.
And now that Zhao Chi had altered their information, the differences were even greater.
They could be considered a new type of Human.
Besides these, there was much more information that could be transferred.
For example, the traits he had transferred when merging the Female Hero before—the slender waists, smooth skin, long legs, and beautiful feet of the Elves—were also transferred over.
The system prompted him again:
〖Retain the human female reproductive system?〗
'To be honest, it's useless now.'
'After all, they're being produced from the ground.'
'And they're all female.'
'But... without those organs, they wouldn't be complete.'
'They would be completely different from Humans.'
'I'd better keep it.'
He chose [Retain].
Zhao Chi considered for another moment, then finished transferring the other minor details.
Finally, all the information had been transferred.
〖First-time Race data transfer. Restrictions lifted. 100% success rate. Confirm?〗
Although transferring using other Races would have yielded better Effects, Zhao Chi didn't have the means to do so.
Besides, he had no intention of revealing his Hidden Talent.
Later, once he had developed further, he would have the chance to set up other Races.
After all, his Transplantation Talent was permanent.
He clicked [Confirm].
The system prompted:
[New Race detected. Please name this Race.]
'I have to name it?'
'As expected, the system also considers this a new Race.'
Zhao Chi frowned.
Naming things was not his strong suit.
'Since this Race belongs to my territory, I'll just name it after the territory.'
Zhao Chi entered [Peach Blossom Spring].
[Peach Blossom Human Race successfully named.]
Finally, the information for the Peach Blossom Human Race was displayed before him.
[Race Information]:
[Race] Human Race
[Sub-Race] Peach Blossom Human Race
[Lifespan] 1,000 years
[Adulthood] 18 years
[Gender] Female only
[Height] 165 cm
[Body Weight] 50 kg
[Appearance] 6—Naturally beautiful
[Attributes] 24—Excellent
[Constitution] 6—Commendable
[Power] 6—Commendable
[agility] 6—Commendable
[Intelligence] 6—Commendable
[Supplement] 10 people/day
[Talent] Fearless (Morale will not collapse)
'Not bad.'
A Human Race as strong as Beastmen and as fast as Elves had been born.
Moreover, they were all female, with an average Appearance of 6 points.
This would allow Zhao Chi's Talent to be used to its maximum potential.
The original Height and Body Weight data, which had been based on the average Human, had changed to reflect female data.
In this world, Attributes did not completely determine one's appearance.
For example, a woman who looked gentle and weak might possess extreme Power.
A heavy-looking fat person might be able to run faster than a rabbit.
This new Human Race, on average, consisted of naturally beautiful women with well-proportioned figures.
Zhao Chi selected the Peach Blossom Human Race as his starting Race.
At this point, everything that needed to be set up was complete.
Zhao Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't linger.
He immediately clicked to enter his territory.
[Entering territory...]
Suddenly, he felt Time stop.
His surroundings became extremely quiet.
A strange sensation arose in his mind.
It was like the hazy feeling just before falling into a dream.
The next moment, the scenery before his eyes began to blur and shift rapidly.
Before he could even react, he had arrived in a forest.
He couldn't help but look around.
He was surrounded by trees, spaced not too far apart.
The sky was very blue.
Sunlight filtered down through the leaves, a little dazzling.
It was summer.
The foliage was dense.
A few birds hopped between the branches, chirping softly.
Beneath the trees, green grass grew so thick it nearly reached his knees, and the chirping of insects emanated from within it.
The ground under the grass was slightly damp, with patches of moss.
Stepping on it felt a bit sticky and slippery.
A few rabbits suddenly darted out of the grass.
Upon seeing Zhao Chi, they immediately fled.
The many trees, the flat grassy field, the flocks of birds and wild rabbits...
...these were all things he had just configured when establishing his territory.
Later, as Time passed, animals from outside the territory would migrate in.
Or seeds would fly in, growing into more, richer varieties of wild vegetables and fruits.
Zhao Chi hadn't yet seen the small river he had placed. It was probably blocked by the trees, but it should be nearby.
Behind him was a small Wooden House.
That must be the Lord's House.
Surrounding the Lord's House was a clearing of bare earth, about 30 meters in diameter.
He could construct Buildings here.
Zhao Chi walked to the Lord's House and pushed the door open.
The Lord's House wasn't too large, with a total area of about 50 square meters.
The cottage was made of wood.
It was divided into a bedroom, a kitchen, a toilet, and a bathroom.
The bedroom was the largest, about 20 square meters.
It contained Simple furniture.
There were windows on three of the walls.
It was a cross-ventilated design, with good airflow.
He never thought he'd so easily obtain a house here when he couldn't even afford one in his original world.
The kitchen was a bit smaller, at 10 square meters.
Inside was a two-burner stove, with an area beside it for storing firewood and coal.
Next to the stove was a large wooden barrel for storing water.
The toilet was also 10 square meters.
It also contained a water barrel and a wooden toilet.
Beside it was some plant ash, used to cover excrement.
The bathroom was likewise 10 square meters.
Inside was a large wooden tub and a separate stove.
The large tub was for bathing, and the stove was for heating water.
The kitchen, toilet, and bathroom all had drains.
The water could drain directly outside.
Moreover, these three rooms each had windows on at least two walls.
Ventilation was not a problem at all.
Although this small Wooden House was Simple, Zhao Chi was already very satisfied.
At least it was better than his small house in the Great World.
As he was looking around, he suddenly heard a commotion outside the door.
Zhao Chi froze, then quickly walked to the door.
He cautiously peeked his head out.
He saw more than ten deathly pale hands suddenly burst from the bare earth outside.
They clawed at the air.
"This is bad!"
Zhao Chi's heart jumped in shock.
He hurriedly grabbed a chair to protect himself.
The next moment, a dozen or so arms stretched out from the ground.
They were followed by heads, one after another.
The heads strained to push their way out of the ground, struggling and shaking, before abruptly breaking free.
