I look at the drones building my new base. They are the Builder Drone MK.3. The previous two are good, but not enough for me. This version is the one that I think is good for me. I can make the MK.2 as the mass-produced drone for another big project.
These guys? They will be my private drone—the drone I will use when I explore another world.
"How long do you think it will take?"
I turn around and see Sienna and her people walking toward me.
"The drone will be done around 5 PM. They have a hard time making the underground facilities."
"You sound disappointed, Orin."
"Of course. They are good enough for now, but they can get better."
I watch as Sienna shakes her head and says.
"You know that normal people will take months to reach this, right? It takes months to reach what you have done in a few hours."
"But I am not most people, aren't I?"
"That you are. Did you know that people around Kuo Kuana have already called you the Reincarnation of the God of Animals? They call you Animus, the Aspect of Wisdom and Knowledge."
"Really? This is the first time I heard about this."
"Yup, and I start to believe them."
"You? I thought you were not a religious person, Sienna?"
"I am not, but with how much of a miracle you have made, I am starting to believe in God."
"Right. Anyway, I am not some sort of chosen one or anything like that. I am just an average fan who wants to make a better future for our kind."
"And that kind of behavior that makes people believe you are the chosen one."
I ignore her and continue watching the progress to ensure everything goes smoothly.
"Anyway, I hear you want to teach others about your tech, Orin?"
"Yes. I cannot be the only person who can maintain and make these things. I need a group of people to help me. That is why I am informing you of this. I want people you can trust not to sell my techs to others. I need your help in gathering people we can trust."
"Why me? Why not Ghira? He is the chieftain, after all."
"I trust him. I trust him to care for our people, but I will not trust him to keep my tech for himself. He owes too many favors to others for me to trust him."
For some reason, Sienna looks proud of my words and nods her head.
"I understand. I shall gather the people you need. How many people do you need?"
"Ten people for now. I cannot teach too many of them at once. Ten for now, and I will teach more after this batch."
"I will gather them. Is there anything else?"
"Hmmm, nothing at the moment. Ah, expect your first batch of Plasma Weapons to be delivered tonight at 8 PM."
"They are done?"
"Yup, and improved as well. They are now 98% efficient, so you don't need to worry about heating or reloading. The only downside is the slight lowering of the fire rate. Other than that? They have all improved. Range? 30% improvement. Damage? 35% improvement. Fire rate is the only one that has been lowered by 5%."
"I see. I cannot wait for the weapons. Thank you for your hard work, Orin."
"Don't mention it. Just make sure you don't involve the innocent, okay?"
"I understand."
I watch as Sienna leaves me and decides to continue monitoring the construction progress. My decision might sound bad because there will be a leak sooner or later when I teach them how to make these things. Well, lucky for me, I have a power called [Blackbox Lockbox] that lets me make sure my tech cannot be recreated by others that I approve of.
That means, even if someone gives a step-by-step tutorial on how to make a plasma gun, it will look like gibberish to them. I can even take back the knowledge I give them using this power. That means I can take back the knowledge if they sell the tech behind my back.
I am lying to Sienna when I said I need help. I can create an AI helper if I want help with my experiment and project. I only need them because I need someone to maintain the tech that will be the foundation of the Faunus in this world, so that I can experiment in peace.
While monitoring the construction, I noticed something from the Gremlin's camera feed. It is another Grimm migration. I ordered the Gremlin and put it into Extermination Mode. I smile a little as my drone shoots all the Grimm from the air and watches the Grimm frustrated at the drone they cannot reach.
I hum a little and let Little Gremlin kill the Grimm. For now, I need to create a plan for my next project. My next project is a fully modular, climate-adaptive hydroponic farming module designed to grow virtually any crop, herb, or exotic plant from around the world, or even an alien plant.
For now, I must create a new VI to ensure the farm is adaptive to any plants I cultivate. However, it is not only that, the farm will also be equipped with adaptive light spectra, programmable nutrient systems, and biosphere balancing VI, which can simulate any climate—from tropical jungle to alpine steppe—inside a sealed chamber.
I type into my personal hologram computer while waiting for the drone to be done.

I smile a little at my new workshop. It is a three-story circular building at the center, a long entrance next to the circular center, and a five-story-tall building at the back. I enter the building and look at the empty hole on the wall.
I will fill these holes with defensive tech like an automated turret and shield generator. Not only that, I will also fill the biggest hole on the wall with a robot that will attack any intruder.
I walk through the hallway and enter the center of the building. This is an important area for the entire building. The previous room will have its own shield generator, but it cannot be compared with the shield generator I will put in this building. Not only that, underneath this place is the main energy generator for the entire building. It contains the bigger version of the Aetherion Core. That thing can power a continent without a problem, and I have it for myself.
Not only that, this place is also the main area for the mass production of all the tech that I will create. The roof of the building is used as the docking area for all the airships I will make in the future. Not only that, I will also fill that area with defensive weapons.
I shake my head and enter the last part of the building. This will be my private building where I experiment, and my private room. I do not have any plans for this building yet, but I am planning to expand even more.
Underneath this section of the building is the massive PrimeForge Fabricator. Not only that, it is also the place where I will put my supercomputer and where my first AI will be born. Sadly, it needs to wait. I still have a lot of projects to complete first.
