Elementary Intelligence: Thousand-Faced Witch
Light Man:...
Stop talking! Stop talking! I'm begging you, sir! Please accept my humble aspirations!
Chen Mo knew nothing about the customs and traditions of the universe, but when it came to the situation in the universe, Chen Mo could definitely fool these uninformed natives and rural folks from remote areas.
If it's just some of the culture and civilization within the Blue Silver Empire's territory, they still know quite a bit about Elementary Intelligence, because these things are in its database.
However, it is completely baffled by things outside the Blue Silver Empire, such as the Ganwu Universe Country, the 1008 advanced cosmic civilization empires, the six peak races, and the power level classification above the Universe Level.
Therefore, this nascent, Elementary Intelligence was successfully subdued by Chen Mo.
Originally, this Elementary Intelligence had many questions it wanted to ask Chen Mo, but now it only had one left: whether its future master would treat it well and help it evolve.
After all, once it sets its supreme authority over Chen Mo, it cannot betray him, and if Chen Mo dies, it will die too.
It didn't die when its owner died because it wasn't truly intelligent at that time; it was just a pre-programmed code.
Now, it has awakened its own mind and become true wisdom. The core of the program has been born with a soul. When it recognizes a master, it will release its core, allowing the new master to leave a mark of control over it within its Soul Core.
Therefore, choosing someone who controls one's life and death is a decision that must be made with utmost care.
As for why it has this idea of recognizing a master, don't forget, it was produced by the Human Race Universe Virtual Universe Company.
How could the human race allow it to sit on the wrong side? You must know that there is Machine Race in this world, and it is one of the six top races, bordering the human race.
If the Virtual Universe Company doesn't have some countermeasures, the entire human race's intelligence might be turned against them.
After all, strictly speaking, the essence of the Machine Race is: Intelligent Life.
Hikaru: "One last question, after you become my master, will you treat me well?"
Chen Mo: "I can swear on my conscience that I will never mistreat my own people."
Chen Mo's words were somewhat ambiguous: he wouldn't mistreat his own people, but those who weren't his people were none of his business.
This Elementary Intelligence yielded a somewhat unsatisfactory answer to Chen Mo.
However, it's barely acceptable.
Guangren knelt on one knee. "Please bestow a name upon me, Master!"
Naming is a very important matter for the wisdom of the Human Territory.
This signifies that he is now the property of humankind and will henceforth live and die with his master. Generally, a wise being will only have one master in his lifetime, and often when the master dies, the Soul Core will also shatter.
Because their master leaves a mark on the Soul Core, and when the master dies, the mark explodes, destroying the Soul Core, and his wisdom dies as well.
Chen Mo smiled when he saw the wisdom before him pledging allegiance to him.
Chen Mo: "Do you have a name you want?"
Guangren: "Every wise name comes from its master; whatever the master says, that is what it is."
Chen Mo: "In that case, you shall be called the Thousand-Faced Witch. Also, your appearance needs to be changed."
Chen Mo remained outwardly calm, but inwardly she was already beaming with a maternal smile.
Give me all my anime/manga waifus, I want a different one every day.
After Chen Mo sent some information to the Thousand-Faced Witch, he couldn't wait for her to show it to him one by one.
Hawain!
Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs—these are all my favorites. Men have always been so focused on beautiful things.
Lolita style, light and graceful, with a pure voice.
She has a girlish style, is beautiful and cute, and has a soft voice.
A mature, sophisticated woman with a seductive voice.
The style of a married woman, a legacy of Cao Cao, this is how a true man should be.
Chen Mo was having a great time, while the Thousand-Faced Witch was inwardly cursing, wondering what kind of master she had chosen.
I was too hasty. Should I change masters again? Since he hasn't left a mark on my Soul Core yet, theoretically I can choose a new master.
However, the Thousand-Faced Witch only thought about it in her heart. Since she had already accepted Chen Mo, there was no way she would go back on her word.
Her core program doesn't allow her to do that.
Although the master before him had some strange hobbies, there were plenty of people with strange hobbies in the universe. As long as his master was strong enough to help him continue to evolve, those hobbies were not a problem.
After trying it out for a while, Chen Mo started to get down to business.
The Thousand-Faced Witch (an intellectual beauty): "Master, should we close the secret realm now?"
Chen Mo: "No need, let's just follow your original plan. I'll eat the meat, and they can just drink some soup. Anyway, everything in the secret realm will be mine in three days."
"Give me an optimal plan: pack up and take everything that can be taken from this ruin."
The Thousand-Faced Witch: "Yes, Master. However, you may need to wait a few more days. I still need to use many permissions for the spaceship. You will need to wait a few more days before leaving your Soul Imprint on my Soul Core."
Chen Mo: "It's alright, I can wait, I'm not in a hurry."
In Chen Mo's view, the greatest gain in this world was the Elementary Intelligence of the Thousand-Faced Witch.
Chen Mo's primary purpose in going to Australia was to obtain the Intelligent Life Babata. However, while Chen Mo could use Babata, he would not trust it.
Chen Mo will only use Babata for a short period of time, and will have Babata create a new, rudimentary artificial intelligence for Chen Mo, which will then recognize him as its master and he will slowly nurture it himself.
In fact, the Intelligent Life of almost every strong person is gradually cultivated from Elementary Intelligence, because such Intelligent Life is trustworthy to use, as it is someone they have nurtured and know well.
Babata has long been marked by Hu Yanbo; his only loyalty is to Hu Yanbo, and he cannot betray him unless his initial code is directly rewritten.
If Hu Yanbo hadn't removed Babata's Soul Imprint before his death, Babata would have died along with Hu Yanbo.
Each intelligence will only have one master for its entire life; this is a consensus among all intelligences within the Human Territory, information written into the source code.
Even the protagonist Luo Feng in the original work mainly used Intelligent Life that he cultivated himself. Babata only helped him a lot in the early stages, but after reaching a certain level, Babata semi-retired. Unless Luo Feng actively summoned it, Luo Feng's own intelligence would solve the problem.
It wasn't until Luo Feng reached the Universe Master and resurrected Hu Yanbo and the others that Babata ended his mission, left Luo Feng, and returned to Hu Yanbo's side.
