After You Meng finished her explanation, Su You said with a dark expression, "What exactly is your goal? Why do you want me to be your slave? If you don't make it clear, I won't cooperate with you on anything."
Having communicated with this intelligent life form called You Meng for so long, Su You felt increasingly confident; he guessed that this intelligent life form likely had no way to harm him.
After 8.2 billion years, whatever she had left behind back then had likely long since been destroyed; otherwise, she could have easily coerced him into becoming her slave.
"Hmph, what a shrewd little native." You Meng curled her lips. "Fine, I'll lay my cards on the table. I actually just want to nurture you and have you take me into the universe later."
"Nurture me?" Su You smiled, not really believing her words. "Nurture me as a slave?"
You Meng said sheepishly, "Uh, I just wanted to maintain the upper hand and make you a bit more obedient!"
Su You nodded and asked, "You've already become an intelligent life form, and you can't roam the universe, so what do you want to do in the universe?"
"Hmph, naturally to enter the Virtual Universe. I was trapped in that ring for over 800,000 epochs. If I hadn't kept myself in a state of near-constant slumber, I probably would have collapsed long ago."
"You probably don't know about the Virtual Universe, let me tell you..."
You Meng fluently rattled off the various benefits of the Virtual Universe. For an intelligent life form like her, entering the Virtual Universe was equivalent to roaming the real universe, and without the slightest bit of danger.
However, Su You knew no less than she did. This Virtual Universe was the grand scheme Yuan Zu used to attempt to seize the Primordial Universe, with the entire Primordial Universe as the base station and a Machine Race universe master as the central processor—it was absolutely insane!
Regarding You Meng's explanation, Su You was inclined to believe her; after all, an individual intelligent life form could not enter the Virtual Universe without a master.
"But why choose me? There are plenty of people on Earth stronger than me," Su You asked suspiciously. "Don't tell me it's because I brought you out from underground; I don't believe such nonsense."
You Meng hurriedly explained, "That's only one of the reasons. The main thing is that your brain domain width is high enough and your cultivation talent is good. I don't want to have to change people every few thousand or tens of thousands of years."
"Brain domain width? I shouldn't be a spirit reader, should I?" Su You asked, puzzled.
You Meng gave him a disdainful look. "Who told you that only spirit readers have brain domain width? Everyone has it; it's just that ordinary people have a relatively low brain domain width."
"Oh? Then what is my brain domain width?" After realizing this, Su You asked quickly.
You Meng said indifferently, "Your brain domain width is 37. Although there is a certain gap compared to me back then, you can at least be considered a genius."
"37? That high?" Su You couldn't help but feel a bit smug. In his past life's memories, Luo Feng's brain domain width seemed to be only 21 when he was at the student level.
Su You asked curiously, "How is the brain domain width of the people next to me?"
"These are the elites of your Earth? This aptitude is too weak." You Meng curled her lips, projected the seven or eight figures beside Su You, and reported their brain domain widths one after another.
The highest was Zhang Yue, with a brain domain width of 13, and the lowest was a black student in front of Su You, whose brain domain width was only 5.
After the scan was finished, You Meng spoke up, "Alright, I've made my purpose clear to you. Now, let's have a proper talk."
Su You emphasized, "Let's get this straight first: I am not becoming your slave."
"Tch, fine, don't be then. As if anyone cares." You Meng rolled her eyes at Su You. "I'll just have you become a disciple of Source Star; that's acceptable, right?"
"Fine!" Su You nodded and reached out his hand directly.
"What are you doing?" You Meng asked, confused.
Su You said righteously, "Benefits. If I'm to be a disciple of Source Star, you have to provide some cultivation resources, right?"
You Meng paused, her expression becoming somewhat awkward. "There aren't any. The few world rings I carried back then have long since shattered. I didn't leave anything behind at all. You'll just have to wait until we enter the universe for me to compensate you."
Seeing Su You look a bit disappointed, You Meng said:
"You are only at the student level. According to the rules of our Source Star, an initiate should only receive one Tier 1 force battle suit, one auxiliary light brain, and one low-tier secret technique."
"I can't give you the force battle suit, but I have all the functions of an auxiliary light brain, and mine is even more advanced."
"As for the secret technique, at the student level, you only need to learn the '360 Basic Martial Arts Forms'. I will have the secret techniques you need for the planetary level and beyond prepared for you when the time comes."
