Gu Yi just said that as a joke, but looking at Lauren's reaction now, it seems he really did create one!
Instantly, huge waves surged in her heart, and the look in her eyes as she watched Lauren became increasingly wary.
Just as she had guessed, this young man dared to get serious with her, he truly had the confidence!
Behind this kid, there must be an existence supporting him that even she can't compare to.
Otherwise, how could a mere mortal transcend rules and create a completely new life form?
You know, that's equivalent to the power of a creator. She doesn't believe an ordinary Earthling could do this; this guy is definitely not simple!
If Lauren knew Gu Yi's thoughts at this moment, he'd probably hide in the restroom to snicker. The 'thought deification' he desired most has actually come true.
The Super-Dimensional Technology System came with the effect of the Emperor Engine, which is unmatched.
But no matter what, this is still very beneficial to him!
At this moment, Gu Yi waved her hand, the Mirror Dimension suddenly disappeared, and the World returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
"Little guy, since this is a misunderstanding, tell your people to put away their weapons! Weapons are shown to enemies, not friends."
Gu Yi looked at Lauren meaningfully. A single understated sentence had already shown her attitude.
Lauren naturally understood the meaning of Gu Yi's words. He immediately nodded with a smile: "Of course, I've never thought of being an enemy to Mages, and I believe you, Mage, feel the same way."
"That's right, as the saying goes, you get to know each other through fighting. Today is our first encounter, and it will also be the last. In the future, perhaps I will still need your help."
"Mage, you're overstating it. Leaving aside that I don't know what I can help you with? Even if I did, I, a mere mortal, don't have that ability!" Lauren waved his hand, very humbly.
Little did he know, Gu Yi saw through his act immediately. A person who could create a completely new life form and talk about blowing up other dimensions...
Now he suddenly didn't know what help she needed? This was obviously impossible; anyone with discerning eyes could see he was feigning ignorance.
As for the reason for feigning ignorance, there were nothing more than two possibilities.
One was that he genuinely didn't want to meddle and feared causing trouble!
The other was fishing, waiting for her to offer a trade condition that would satisfy him.
Although she didn't know much about Lauren, just this brief contact...
She could already tell that this guy Lauren was a typical capitalist, someone who would absolutely never do anything without benefit.
After all, the other party was a genuine scion of a financial group; this trait was simply too normal.
So his seemingly humble words were actually just waiting for her to talk about benefits and state her conditions.
Understanding this point, she naturally didn't need to beat around the bush with Lauren so much.
She said directly: "Little guy, you don't need to be so humble.
Whether you genuinely don't know what to help me with, or are pretending not to know, it's not important!
What's important is that when the time comes, you just need to bring out your great invention and lend me a hand.
And I will absolutely not let you contribute for free; the benefits that should be given will definitely be given fully.
Little guy, speak! What do you want?"
Seeing that Gu Yi had seen through his little scheme, Lauren smiled inwardly, not feeling awkward at all.
Instead, he said seriously: "Mage, you're being too polite. Helping others is the root of happiness.
For the sake of resisting the invasion of the Dark Dimension, you lead the disciples of Kama Taj working tirelessly day and night. This spirit of selflessness is truly admirable.
So even if you don't say anything, when a crisis occurs, I will absolutely not stand by and watch. After all, this Planet is also my home.
As for benefits and such, I really haven't thought about them. But you also know that I'm a researcher, and I'm extremely curious.
I'm very interested in many rare things, Mage. I think that thing on your chest that looks like an eye is quite interesting. Could I study it?"
"...." Gu Yi.
Listening to Lauren's words, Gu Yi really wanted to roll her eyes. He kept saying he didn't want benefits, but when he raised his hand to point, he pointed at the most important thing on her entire body.
That was the most powerful magical artifact in their entire Kama Taj sanctum - the Eye of Agamotto, which contained the Infinity Stone capable of controlling time.
The power of this stone is too immense. If it falls into the hands of outsiders, no one knows what kind of disaster it will bring to this World.
Moreover, this stone is related to a very important event in the future; it is the greatest reliance against Dormammu. At this time, she naturally couldn't hand it over to Lauren.
She gave an awkward smile, saying with a hint of apology: "Little guy, if you were talking about other things, I would definitely make the greatest effort to satisfy you.
But this thing is of great importance, I really cannot let you study it, please forgive me!"
"Oh, is that so! That's alright. Actually, I'm also very interested in magic. How about you teach me magic?
I don't mind cultivating both technology and magic. Perhaps combining magic and technology can lead to new things."
Lauren naturally knew that the magical artifact on Gu Yi contained the Time Stone, and he also guessed that the other party would not give it to him.
The reason he spoke up was merely to mention it in passing, and then use it to bring up what he truly wanted.
As for something as profound and mysterious as magic, if he said he wasn't interested, it would definitely be false.
Previously, he hadn't dared to contact Gu Yi too early, so he hadn't pursued this matter.
But now that he could connect with Gu Yi, he naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.
To have the Supreme Mage personally teach him magic, such treatment is not something everyone gets.
If the other party agreed, then in the future, Stephen Strange, this future Supreme Mage, would have to call him Senior Brother when they met.
However, what he didn't expect was that Gu Yi looked at him with a complex expression.
She then said: "Little guy, not everyone can practice magic. It depends on one's physical constitution and talent. I look at your body...."
Gu Yi glanced at Lauren, hesitating to speak.
Seeing this, Lauren immediately said: "Mage, how is my body? Is it unusually structured, a heaven-sent genius?"
"Well....." Gu Yi.
"Mage, you can tell me the truth, I won't be proud." Lauren looked at Gu Yi with a hint of arrogance on his face, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Little guy, I'm not intentionally trying to discourage you, but in all these years, I have never seen a body as lacking in aptitude as yours. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say your constitution is a magic insulator."
"Huh!! No.....you let you...." Lauren.
