[The skill Advanced Human biology had passed the caped level and become Expert Human Biology Lv.1(0%)]
… Expert. Reading this word again and again, Christian was filled with joy at finally achieving it, as it had been such a long time.
Nearly two months had passed since arriving at this new house after all.
He thought the skill would have taken a lot less time, especially with his improving comprehension, but reality proved him wrong when the human biology material he had gathered from around the world, from all kinds of institutions, ran out, and he was forced to start researching the sequence of knowledge on his own.
But… that the first skill, he had that reached being Human Biology one, was still a little surprising for him.
That's why it took nearly two months.
The time spent on research, instead of studying an already verified materials were not the same, after all.
But… the fact that Human Biology was the first skill he had that reached the Expert tier was still a little surprising to him.
After all, when the General Programming skill reached the Advanced tier, at the same level as Human Biology, along with Advanced AI Creation. The overlapping subjects between General Programming and AI Creation became too much. He thought that with two skills nearly researching under the same principles, their advancement would be faster and would require less time than Human Biology.
He had thought the first to reach the next tier would be either General Programming or AI Creation, but he was proved wrong.
With Human Biology, the amount of knowledge material was enough until Advanced tier level nine, but with General Programming, it was barely enough to reach level six, and AI Creation, even less.
While the difference stemmed from the gap in the amount of knowledge between these two subjects, it was more than just that. The information regarding human biology was actually more advanced, and that made the difference.
Even with how advanced technology was already, it was still this low?
He was a little surprised again by how his system rated these kind of things, but he didn't care much.
Anyway, more important than which skill reached the Expert tier first, browsing through the knowledge he had acquired from Expert Human Biology, he knew he didn't make a lose.
It was far from making a lose, as the knowledge he had gained was just that precious.
Some of it focused on genetics, and for him, someone who was treading the path of incest due to his relationship with his sister, it was crucial.
… Though their relationship had not advanced at all during these two months, he knew it was only a matter of time before things developed and they crossed that threshold.
So, genetic-related knowledge was especially important for him, particularly if, far in the future, he heard his sister say, "I want to have a child."
At that point, he would not be troubled by the common concerns surrounding genetic problems that he had often heard about or might face.
Then, had he already solved this problem? Unfortunately, no. But at least he had gathered some valuable information regarding it.
He now had a lead, a place to start from, when the time came to search for a solution.
But, putting aside the genetic knowledge, it wasn't as though this was the only valuable thing. There were many other areas of knowledge he had acquired, each with its own potential to be just as vital in the future.
Moreover, the human biology knowledge was the prerequisite for many, many skills he planned to develop or was already developing.
The Kinetix Body Building skill, which he planned to replace with human biology, was a prime example of this.
If he wanted to create a better body, become physically stronger, and raise his overall qualifications, the knowledge of human biology was essential.
And not just for this skill—studying martial arts, developing the essence technique for "humans," or even achieving his goal of creating a robot, all required a deep understanding of human biology.
Human biology was crucial for all of these and many others.
He would know, for example, that there were certain moves in martial arts he couldn't practice, as they would damage specific muscles beyond repair, if performed incorrectly.
This knowledge would also serve as a reference when creating a robot, since ultimately, a robot was an imitation of humans, but in mechanical form.
Aside from all of that, among the information he had acquired today, there was something unexpected.
It seemed that even normal skills, upon reaching the Expert tier, could begin to touch upon the threshold of essence.
He had gotten a brief glimpse of such concepts, specifically regarding the interactions between cells and essence. This knowledge was incomplete, and all he had were fragments of the larger picture.
It had now become one of the goals of his research. However, mastering it would require an immense amount of time and effort.
The complexity of understanding how essence interacted with biological processes, leading to the phenomenon of people losing control and transforming into the kind of abomination he had seen in some hacked images, was daunting, and he knew it would be a long journey.
So, he naturally didn't plan to continue. He was satisfied with his current skill.
… Okay, he wasn't actually that satisfied. He was greedy—he wanted more and more.
If an advanced skill was already taking him more than two months to master with his current ability, compared to his estimation of just two weeks for intermediate skills.
The gap was significant. But, that was when both involved only studying existing material.
Then how long would it take to master an Expert-tier skill, where the process would rely entirely on research?
Even in Christian's optimistic estimation, at least a year would be needed.
That was why he discarded any thoughts of continuing his research on human biology for now.
… And he didn't want Eva and his sister to wait too long for him to solve the problem of them starting their training in essence. He could already sense their growing impatience, after all.
