"Let's go back now!"
Looking at the time, Su Mo turned around.
"Screw Gum should be arriving soon."
Ruan Mei responded softly and immediately followed Su Mo's footsteps.
Her steps remained light and graceful, yet she looked somewhat like a child following her parents.
149. Screwgoom's Gift, the Goodwill of the Omnics
"[Question] What constitutes interesting creation?"
"So-called interesting creation is about making creation interesting. As Zandal, the first member of the Genius Club, once said, the key to natural creation is that the way of creation must be natural..."
When Su Mo and Ruan Mei returned to the Black Tower office, the Black Tower doll was already in automatic response mode, its eyes vacant, to deal with Fan Lou's endless questions.
After communicating with Fanlou, Heita became even more convinced that everyone in the Genius Club except himself was an oddball.
No wonder Su Mo didn't let her speak before. If she had, the tea party would have turned into an endless mini-lecture.
Even the most basic and commonly used concepts require so much explanation; Heita now understands why the Venerable Master Boshizun approves of this little girl.
This child, like the Star God, is full of problems.
Given her lack of patience, she naturally wouldn't keep answering Fanlou's questions like Su Mo did.
After exchanging a few words and injuring himself, Black Tower immediately handed over the task of dealing with Fanlou to the puppet.
Seeing Su Mo and Ruan Mei return, she finally logged back in, looking at the two of them with a sense of relief.
"You're finally back... Wait!"
After exclaiming, she quickly realized something was wrong.
When they left, Su Mo and Ruan Mei walked side by side. Ruan Mei, as the guide, took a half step ahead. But when they returned, not only did Su Mo walk in front, but Ruan Mei's attitude towards Su Mo was also completely different from before.
Given Ruan Mei's aloof and indifferent personality, she wouldn't get too close even to her friends. But seeing her now following closely behind Su Mo, it's clear that there's no longer any distance between them.
Unlike Ruan Mei, Hei Ta simply disdains ordinary social etiquette, not that she is ignorant of it.
Recalling Ruan Mei's words before she left, she immediately realized something and her eyes widened.
"Ruan Mei, could it be that you've already agreed to Su Mo's conditions and become his spouse?"
Although he had considered this possibility before, Black Tower was still very surprised to see his friend actually submit to someone else.
"Ah."
Ruan Mei nodded, her expression remaining largely unchanged.
“Master… Mr. Su Mo answered my questions, and I accepted his invitation.”
This was nothing surprising to her.
"hiss--"
Black Tower gasped.
Upon hearing Ruan Mei confirm this, and considering what Su Mo had said before, although she still found it extremely unbelievable, she still tentatively asked.
"The bargaining chip that made you make a decision so quickly, could it be that your cooperation involves creating a star god?"
She guessed the content of their agreement immediately.
Actually, these kinds of things aren't hard to guess; the real challenge is unleashing your imagination.
Whether one believes that Su Mo truly intends to create a Star God, or that Ruan Mei truly harbors ambitions to replace a Star God, both are matters that drastically break through the understanding of humans, and even geniuses.
If Su Mo hadn't repeatedly challenged her understanding, Black Tower probably wouldn't have thought of this level.
Upon hearing Black Tower's speculation, Ruan Mei, who was not good at hiding her surprise, immediately showed a look of astonishment and subconsciously looked at Su Mo.
Seeing her action, Black Tower didn't need to ask any further questions; he knew he had guessed correctly.
Just as she was about to add another exclamation, Ruan Mei spoke up.
“Mr. Su Mo, do the contents of the experiment need to be kept confidential? If so, I have some anti-vomiting agent here... but it won't be very effective against the Black Tower.”
"what???"
Hearing this, Black Tower was completely stunned.
Does Ruan Mei mean she's planning to give herself a vomiting potion?
If her true form weren't here, judging from her expression, she seemed to intend to control herself.
Even though she herself wasn't the emotional type, she was still shocked to hear this. After all, they had been friends for many years. How could you turn against your old friends after betraying them?
All you want to do is create a star god... is it really necessary to go to such lengths?
Uh, no, it does seem that serious!
Faced with such a grand goal, not immediately thinking of killing each other to silence them seems to indicate that they value their friendship highly.
After all, if this were to get out, others might laugh and despise it, but the company would never let it go; it's no ordinary danger.
Realizing the danger of this topic, Black Tower's expression immediately stiffened. She looked at Su Mo with slight nervousness, fearing that Su Mo might try to silence her with a single word.
Although she is currently using a puppet's body, it would still be a huge problem for her if she were targeted by two geniuses.
More importantly, if that were the case, the simulated universe project would be unable to continue its updates!
"Um... Su Mo, I promise I won't leak this, is that alright?"
Realizing she had misspoke, she immediately adopted a gesture of surrender.
She disregarded the danger to herself, caring only that her project could not be shut down.
It was rare to encounter a companion who knew so much about the Star God, and she had even obtained such a powerful hypothesis from Su Mo. She didn't want all her efforts to be in vain.
Of course, if the other party insists on taking action, she has no choice but to comply.
Seeing that Black Tower seemed nervous, and was actually quite nervous himself, Su Mo nodded calmly.
"Don't be nervous, I trust Miss Black Tower's reputation. Besides, this matter isn't exactly a secret, and even if other forces find out, they won't have time to react."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Su Mo speak like this, Black Tower felt much relieved, and then his curiosity immediately took over.
"Are you saying that the time it took to create a Star God was even faster than the reaction time the company seriously mobilized?"
If that's the case, then Su Mo's fearless attitude is indeed understandable.
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are, once the Star Gods have successfully created them, they will be unstoppable.
There is a power gap between the Star Gods and those below them; no force can defeat a Star God, not even the weakest one.
"As long as the conditions are met, time is never a problem. Transformation requires the least amount of time."
Su Mo casually offered an explanation.
"Moreover, even if she hasn't become a Star God yet, she's not someone that ordinary envoys can deal with."
At this point, Su Mo glanced at Ruan Mei.
Once you are familiar with the use of the [Life Catalog], with Ruan Mei's accumulated knowledge, you can easily unleash the power of a Commander.
Even a top-tier power like the Interstellar Peace Corporation wouldn't dare to rashly start a war against an Envoy-level being.
"what?!"
Upon hearing this, Black Tower's eyes widened once again.
She could understand Su Mo's meaning, and she wasn't surprised that Ruan Mei could unleash the combat power of a Commander.
Members of the Genius Club all hold positions similar to or even surpassing the Commander in their respective research fields; achieving this is quite common.
What truly shocked her was another piece of news.
"You mean, the purpose of your experiment is to make Ruan Mei a Star God?!"
This was something she absolutely did not expect.
after all--
"Why not keep such a good opportunity for yourself? Aren't you the One God?"
Black Tower asked, bewildered.
Even someone like her, who has little interest in power and influence, might not be able to resist the allure of becoming a star god.
She originally thought that Su Mo and Ruan Mei's collaboration was to create a new life, that is, a new Star God. Who would have thought that they wanted to elevate an existing individual to the level of a Star God, and this individual was not even Su Mo himself.
This is very strange.
Upon hearing this, Ruan Mei looked at Su Mo with slight curiosity.
She wasn't worried that Su Mo was deceiving her; the contract between them was fair and just, and it truly made her a Star God.
She just didn't understand why Su Mo didn't have the idea of becoming a star god.
Su Mo shrugged in response to their questions.
"First, let me correct you on one point. Although I do have the identity of a unique god, my spirituality is more like that of a poet than a deity."
Poets are those who create, sing, and adapt myths, and even create the existence of life itself.
"Secondly, my reason for not wanting to become a star god is also very simple: I don't want to be bound by fate."
It is certain that the Star Gods are bound by fate, but this bondage is not actually particularly severe.
As the embodiment of a philosophical concept, the characteristic of destiny is that no matter what the star god does, as long as He does not feel that He is violating destiny, then He will not violate destiny, highlighting the importance of free judgment.
Even so, Su Mo still declined the idea of becoming a Star God.
After all, for those who truly study mysticism, free judgment may seem flexible and free, but it is actually not that simple.
Those who have attained enlightenment cannot deceive their own hearts.
"Just this reason?"
Hearing Su Mo say this, Black Tower was dumbfounded.
