Babata Lost the Battle of Wits, and Luo Feng Seized the Initiative!
Inside the spaceship, Luo Feng looked down at Babata, who was still faking tears, and shook his leg helplessly.
"Alright, alright, stop howling, let go. I agree to become your apprentice."
"Real?"
Upon learning that Luo Feng had finally relented, Babata was overjoyed.
She sprang to her feet instantly, the tears on her face vanishing without a trace in a second.
"Very good!"
Babata rubbed his hands together excitedly and said in a serious tone.
"In the universe, the normal apprenticeship process is extremely complicated and requires a very solemn ceremony."
"But times have changed; let's keep things simple."
Babata pointed to the crystal coffin in the center of the hall and said loudly:
"All you need to do is walk up to your master's body and respectfully kowtow eight times."
"Then you call him 'teacher,' and the apprenticeship ceremony is complete!"
"OK."
Luo Feng didn't think much of it and immediately walked to the crystal coffin.
He bent his knees, ready to kneel and kowtow.
"Stop!"
In his mind's eye, Lin Mo's voice suddenly boomed, carrying a hint of coldness.
Luo Feng froze, and quickly asked in his mind:
"What's wrong, teacher?"
Lin Mo snorted coldly, his tone revealing a hint of displeasure.
"In the universe, when did a disciple need to kowtow eight times to become a disciple? This little thing is taking advantage of you."
"If I remember correctly, in the universally accepted apprenticeship ritual..."
"You'll only truly follow someone who has given you a second chance at life."
"Only then would one need to perform the highest level of prostration."
"If it's just a regular apprenticeship, there's no such thing as being recognized and appreciated."
"Simply kneel down, clasp your hands in a fist, and address him as 'Teacher.'"
"Where did this 'kowtowing eight times' come from?"
"This is clearly an Intelligent Lifeform trying to save face for its master because you're a native."
Upon receiving this information, Luo Feng's face instantly flushed red!
Good grief, I almost got fooled by an Intelligent Lifeform.
Luo Feng suddenly stood up straight, turned around, glared at Babata with annoyance, and loudly questioned:
"Babata, you dared to lie to me!"
"In the universe, isn't the normal etiquette for becoming a disciple simply kneeling on both knees and clasping your hands in a fist salute?"
Luo Feng pressed on relentlessly, sneering as he retorted.
"Why is it that when it comes to me, I have to kowtow eight times?"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Luo Feng's extremely professional question, Babata froze in mid-air.
Her blood-red eyes were wide open.
Her small mouth was slightly open, and her face was full of expressions of utter disbelief.
Babata was completely dumbfounded.
Luo Feng is a native who has never even left Earth.
How could he know such orthodox and detailed rules of apprenticeship in the universe?
After a brief moment of surprise.
Babata's blood-red eyes darted around, as if he had thought of something.
"Damn Luo Feng, are you kidding me?"
Babata crossed his arms and raised his chin.
Pretending to be self-righteous:
"Why would I lie to you? I am a great and Intelligent Lifeform!"
"Although I have my own feelings, I would never lie or deceive anyone!"
"Besides."
Babata curled his lip and pointed at Luo Feng, saying:
"How could a native like you, who has never even left Earth, possibly understand the rules of the universe?"
"I've followed my master across the universe for tens of millions of years. How could you possibly know as much as I do?"
"Kowtowing eight times obediently is the rule!"
Looking at Babata's stubborn, unyielding attitude, it was clear he wouldn't admit defeat until he was faced with a fatal mistake.
Luo Feng sneered.
According to Lin Mo's teachings in the sea of consciousness.
To deal with this arrogant and Intelligent Lifeform, you have to make her face reality.
Understand your current situation and firmly grasp the initiative in your own hands.
"Fine, since you're not being sincere, then forget it."
Without hesitation, Luo Feng turned around and strode towards the spaceship's exit.
"Let whoever wants this worthless legacy take it; I'm not putting up with it anymore!"
"Hey! Hey hey hey! Don't go!"
Seeing that Luo Feng was actually about to leave without looking back.
With a whoosh, Babata instantly appeared in front of Luo Feng.
She opened her arms to block him, her previously arrogant face instantly falling into a forced smile.
"Don't go! Don't go! Brother! Brother Luo Feng! I was wrong, okay?!"
Babata lowered his head helplessly, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Alright, it's my fault. I admit I was trying to put on airs for my master. In the universe, kneeling on both knees is indeed the proper thing to do."
"Good to know."
Luo Feng stopped and glanced down at her.
A victorious smile curved his lips.
And so, after Babata's kind words of persuasion and frantic apologies,
Luo Feng walked back to the crystal coffin.
He knelt down on both knees and clasped his hands in a fist.
With a calm expression, he performed the standard apprenticeship ceremony before Hu Yanbo's remains.
He shouted:
"Disciple Luo Feng greets Master."
The ceremony is complete!
Babata shouted excitedly from the side.
However, the smile on her face hadn't fully bloomed yet.
Luo Feng had already stood up quickly and extended a hand to Babata.
"The apprenticeship is complete, now give me the resources."
Luo Feng said confidently.
Babata looked at the boy with his outstretched hand and sighed helplessly.
She knew she had lost this psychological battle utterly.
She just couldn't understand it.
Luo Feng is only 19 years old, and he's clearly a native who has never even seen a spaceship.
They should have been at an age where they were innocent and naive, easily manipulated by her.
How does he know everything? This is absolutely bizarre!
"Take it, take it! I must have owed you something in my past life."
Babata waved his hand angrily.
He then tossed Luo Feng an antique-style ring.
"This is World Ring, containing an independent world within it, countless times more advanced than Space Ring!"
Luo Feng took the ring and made a thought.
The six enormous alien corpses in the hall, along with the central crystal coffin, were instantly stored in the World Ring.
Immediately afterwards, Luo Feng flew out of the spaceship.
They also took in the enormous Yunmo Star Ship.
After doing all this, Luo Feng breathed a long sigh of relief.
Just then, a clear voice suddenly rang out in Luo Feng's sea of consciousness.
"Luo Feng!"
"Ah!"
Luo Feng was startled, because the voice wasn't Lin Mo's, but Babata's!
What's so surprising?
Within his sea of consciousness, Babata's virtual figure appeared.
With his hands on his hips, he said with extreme pride:
"True Intelligent Lifeform communicate directly through consciousness!"
"Isn't it amazing?"
"Yes, that's true. The little thing isn't wrong."
Just as Babata was feeling smug.
Lin Mo's calm voice slowly echoed in Luo Feng's mind.
Upon hearing this, Babata instinctively replied:
See? There are still people who understand.
Before he could finish speaking, Babata suddenly froze, realizing what was happening.
"No! This isn't Luo Feng's voice!"
