The mountain puppet had grown significantly larger compared to three days ago. After defeating the demonic creatures in the African war zone and collecting a large amount of Creation Energy, the mountain puppet was undoubtedly one of the biggest beneficiaries.
At this moment, Tang Haofei stood at the foot of the mountain puppet, gazing up at the towering mountain. Although he had seen the mountain puppet in action through video surveillance, being so close yet sensing no trace of life was a novel experience for Tang Haofei.
"Not bad, really not bad. This big guy should be quite powerful, right?"
Tang Haofei lamented, slightly pursing his lips, clearly fond of such a tall and strong creature that relied solely on brute strength.
Wen Yu merely smiled and said nothing, casually sending a mental wave to the mountain puppet. Soon after, the mountain puppet opened a passage into the mountain, and Tang Haofei didn’t question whether Wen Yu was doing anything inside or setting any traps; he decisively stepped into the mountain.
...
"Up ahead is my Soul Laboratory, specifically for researching the soul creation technique."
"The passage on the right is my bedroom, and the left side is the guest room, um, specifically reserved for you. If you want to stay here for a couple of days, you can stay there. I've already tidied up the room; it's quite spacious, and importantly, the soundproofing is excellent."
"If you need anything else, just shout, and the mountain puppet will respond immediately."
"A butler, huh?"
"Yeah, the mountain puppet is indeed my butler now; it's very convenient."
"What a waste..."
Tang Haofei mumbled, not quite sure what he was thinking. After a while, he abruptly asked Wen Yu, "By the way, I want a weapon. Can you help me add something like a spirit to it?"
A spirit...
Although the soul creation technique could indeed attach a soul to weapons and seemed to resemble something like a spirit, when these words came out of Tang Haofei's mouth, Wen Yu felt a slight sense of having stepped into the wrong scene.
"I can do that, but this thing will be strongly obedient to me. Do you dare to want it?"
"Why wouldn't I dare!"
Tang Haofei spoke with an air of confidence, and Wen Yu curled his lip, choosing not to say more. Tang Haofei then automatically filtered out the topic and did not mention spirits again.
"However, to be honest, the soul creation technique is indeed quite useful. I'm thinking now, since you can turn a mountain into a puppet, can you also turn a sea, a jungle, or a desert into puppets? Even to put it grandly, can you turn the Earth itself into a puppet?"
Tang Haofei's talkative nature surged again as he continuously muttered behind Wen Yu, while Wen Yu did not directly answer this question, only smiling and shaking his head.
Wen Yu had indeed thought about these questions; the main issue remained that there wasn't enough Creation Energy. Once there was sufficient Creation Energy, whether he could achieve those feats...
Can you guess?
...
After walking through the winding passages within the mountain puppet, Wen Yu finally brought Tang Haofei and his harem to the guest room.
The mountain puppet served tea and snacks to Tang Haofei and the others. Wen Yu chatted with Tang Haofei about some trivial topics, then excused himself under the pretense that the experiment was not yet complete. Tang Haofei did not try to keep him longer.
After leaving the guest room, Wen Yu turned and walked back to the Soul Laboratory. While using the soul creation technique to create several skills below grade C, he mentally connected with the mountain puppet, closely monitoring Tang Haofei's every move.
After a while, a lively scene unfolded before Wen Yu’s eyes. Upon witnessing this, Wen Yu decisively instructed the mountain puppet to maintain surveillance while breaking the mental connection.
This time, Tang Haofei's visit indeed seemed to carry no ill intentions. His words were also quite reasonable, and for the short term, it appeared that this visit posed no threat. However, Wen Yu still had to remain cautious.
