The pride of this Thainan girl clearly irritated Quetos, but the girl didn't get angry or discouraged. Instead, she responded with the same proud tone: "We Skinless will also build the big cities you mentioned."
Sostak No.3 raised its eyebrows. This military AI clearly confirmed with its cold logic circuits that these biohumans barely possessed any creativity. Just relying on this child, the biohumans would struggle even to maintain their pathetic level of civilization—actually, Malin thought so too. If they had creativity, they wouldn't have been oppressed by the Thanan people to this extent.
Jason discreetly smiled at Malin, his expression not so much mocking the child's overly grand expectations for her people, but more like a caring elder indulging a junior.
Malin smiled back. While Matilda and Quetos were discussing what qualified as a big city, he asked Jason, "You really like this child, don't you?"
