Chapter 45
Translator: Darling Editor: Darling
After the mechanical spider had stopped, the little box on its back silently opened . Following this, a body of light mist wafted from the box .
The little box was opened in line with the python’s breathing pattern . As the python breathed in, the mist moved with the current, entering the creature’s body .
Poison?
No, Ye Zan did not plan on killing the python . He naturally would not use poison against it . The mist released from this box was actually a body of trillions of nanoworms . If not grouped in this mass number, one could not even see them .
The nanoworms, once entering the body, would spread like oxygen along its bloodstream . Tricking the white blood cells in the python’s body, they would rush with the body’s currents and enter the python’s brain .
“Let’s begin . ” Receiving the signal that the nanoworms had arrived at their destination, Ye Zan began to give the order to start .
And, moving with Ye Zan’s signal, the nanoworms in the python’s brain began to work according to what was planned . All the nanoworms gathered in an area within the brain . This was no ordinary gathering; they were patterned in a specific order . Like 3d printing, the nanoworms had created a disk the size of a fingernail .
This fingernail size was obviously in reference to a human fingernail . Compared to the python’s head (the size of a small house), this small disk was minuscule . However, though it was small, it could do a lot, because it was placed in a key spot .
This was not any ordinary controlling disk, but a disk similar to the AI support that Ye Zan used . Of course, it was still incomparable to Ye Zan’s disk . This disk was much simpler . After its completion, it was fed by the creature’s own energy, taking the information transmitted from Ye Zan and silently inserting them into the python’s hippocampus .
Although Ye Zan was unfamiliar with the Beast Training methods of this world, he could guess that it was something similar to forcible suppression and the long-term development of a relationship . He didn’t have the time to develop a relationship with the python . In fact, he would probably be crushed as soon as he tried . After all, he wasn’t even big enough to count as a full bite . The python probably couldn’t even be bothered to eat him .
Of course, this so-called relationship was just the product of a long period of time in partnership and creating pleasurable memories . Thus, Ye Zan decided to just input false memories . This was an easy task for the technology of his world .
As a result, the python’s brain began to contain some new memories . When the python was young, it was attacked by an unbeatable force . Originally, it had defeated the enemy on its own . But now, Ye Zan had become a part of its memories . Ye Zan had rushed through the dangers to rescue the python; healing its wounds as playing with it . After that, they had met up every ten years, and every meeting incomparably pleasurable and delightful .

It was good that this python had no active conscience and would not think about the broken logic in its memories . Like how, according to its memories, Ye Zan should be at least two hundred and some years old . How else would he appear so many times? A conscious creature, or a human, would have quickly sensed the problems in this memory .
So, that was to say that this solution was not all-powerful . Frankly, it was just Ye Zan taking advantage of an idiot .
“Speaking of this, I suddenly think that I’m pretty shameless . But, it’s still better than killing you . ” After Ye Zan had taken a look at the memories, he felt like blushing . Really, he had painted himself to be too much of a “good guy” .
Quickly, the memories had finished transmitting . But Ye Zan did not immediately come forward . There were some creatures that, due to their instincts, were not affected by emotions . This was where the story of
(The Wolf of Zhongshan is a popular Chinese fairy tale that deals with the ingratitude of a creature after being saved . )
The disk began to move these false memories, letting the python fall into a state of memory . Ye Zan began observing how the python reacted when remembering these memories; noting the changes in its brain . If the python’s brain held chemical changes in reaction to the memories, then these false memories would have passed the test, having truly shown the influence of emotions on the python .
“There’s something wrong…” Ye Zan knotted his brow in reaction to the information sent back by the disk . He found that the python, in the process of remembering, had not only developed emotions like dependence, trust, joy, and delight but also … love .

Oh my goodness, I actually forgot to look at its gender . This was a female snake! Ye Zan smacked himself on the head . He suddenly felt the urge to cry . He just wanted a pet . Who would have thought that, after transmitting some false memories, this snake would fall in love with him?
We’ll slowly make changes to that! Ye Zan had no other solution . If he deleted the present memories and wrote in some different ones, then the python’s brain would be damaged . Ye Zan still wanted the python to turn into a drakon, or maybe even into a dragon . It was too wasteful to ruin that over little things like this .
Ye Zan helplessly shook his head, closing the doors to his dimension, and walking out of his hiding place in the forest .
The python seemed to sense this and woke up . It’s head spun naturally in Ye Zan’s direction .
When the two faced each other, Ye Zan could see a sense of pleasant surprise in the python’s eyes . Naturally, the disk in its brain was constantly sending information to Ye Zan, so he knew how the python felt at every time .
Ye Zan stopped and raised his arm at the python .

The python moved, its originally coiled body rolling out . Its head moved curiously in Ye Zan’s direction . In the blink of an eye, it had appeared before Ye Zan . It opened its mouth slightly, and its tongue slid out, before slowly tapping Ye Zan’s arm .
Ye Zan smiled, looking the python in the eye, and shamelessly said: “Goldie, I’m back . ”
Listen to him! Listen to him! Do you hear this? It was clearly the first time they had met . But, because of those false memories, he had shamelessly said “I’m back” like everything was real .
But, the poor python had already completely believed in those false memories . After feeling Ye Zan’s “kindness”, it moved its tongue to happily tap on Ye Zan’s arm . It then retracted its tongue, and moved its head to the ground, carefully leaning it on Ye Zan .
Although Ye Zan could not understand the python’s movements or language, he could tell what the python was thinking through the disk in its brain . His face greened . The snake wanted kisses!
Oh no! The memories I made up didn’t have any “kissing” sections . How did this python get this type of thought? Ye Zan silently cursed as he flipped through the python’s memories .
It turned out that this python had seen the students of the Five Sects kiss during one of their former competitions .
Originally, this memory wouldn’t have affected it much . But now, given the false memories, these fragments of memories held a different meaning to it .
