"There was nothing wrong with its voice - it could speak; there weren't too many problems with its IQ - it made facial expressions and was like a young child, and it could learn. The only problem should be with its inner reformation," Chu Xian thought and looked at another chub.
"Again!" Chu Xian started his second reformation experiment.
