The Shadow Servant appeared in front of the security optical computer and gently tapped on it, after which the permissions page appeared.

The Shadow Servant didn’t bother with the permissions page, instead quickly entering the password into the computer. If an incorrect password was entered thrice, the permissions page would be locked, and an alarm would be set off at the same time.

That was the security optical computer’s last defense. However, if even an Electronic Warfare Retaliation master with a 98% Proficiency could not break through that defense, then Electronic Warfare Retaliation Proficiency didn’t really have any value.

Within 20 seconds, the permission page automatically disappeared, and the main operation interface appeared on the optical computer.

David, who was drinking fruit juice in the reception hall, couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.

It was good that he could get by in this world just by relying on his Electronic Warfare Retaliation ability, which the Shadow Servant had greatly strengthened.

Although the Shadow Servant only had a hundred grams of power, which was practically useless when it came to an attack, it was enough for operating the optical computer.

The Shadow Servant opened a list of all the high-authority management personnel of the hotel, finding an account that had not been logged into for a long time. He turned on all the remote login permissions and installed a hidden program in the security optical computer.

The function of the hidden program was to automatically remove any and all traces of the account that David controlled, thus turning it into a ghost account.

After performing the last step of the operation, he heard the sound of applause, which signified the end of Mayor Bernard’s speech.

With the end of the speech, the reception officially began. Many guests whose statuses were high enough surrounded Mayor Bernard, while the rest of the guests made their way to other guests, who were of the same status as them.

Everyone had put on the most gracious smiles they could manage, looking like well-mannered ladies and gentlemen with good upbringings.

David noticed Bersha chatting with some of the ladies while his father, Hans, spoke to a young man who seemed to be in his twenties. The latter two seemed to be rather enthusiastic.

At this moment, Hans saw David and waved him over.

David knew that Hans was trying to introduce him to people and create some connections. Although he did not want to make those connections, he did not want to harm his relationship with Hans, which had just improved. So, he walked over to them, holding onto his glass of fruit juice.

“Hans, so this is your son? He’s not bad!” The young man was handsome, but he had a rather condescending tone and the attitude of an elder.

“David, this is Uncle Galen, my brother through thick and thin, who went through all those life-and-death situations with me in Battlestar!” Hans introduced Galen to David with a smile.

David looked at the young man named Galen in surprise. According to Hans, Galen was at least fifty years old. Although the average lifespan of humans in the Star Federation was two hundred years, a fifty-year-old should not look as young as Galen did.

“Uncle Galen!” Nonetheless, David greeted him politely, pushing past his astonishment.

“Since you’ve called me ‘Uncle’, I have to give you a gift. How about this? As long as you increase your strength and speed to the minimum standards for admittance to Nan University before the college entrance exam, I will help you enter the University’s Armorer Department!” Galen said with a smile, looking at David.

David was amazed at Galen’s generosity. Nan University was the best university on Planet Rocky and being admitted to it had been the goal of his predecessor. However, it was not easy for one to get a place in Nan University.

800 kilograms of strength and the speed needed to complete a 100-meter sprint within 8.5 seconds were merely the basic criteria for participating in the examination. Once candidates reached that standard, they would have to sit for a test of their combat ability, after which Nan University would select the best of the best from the candidates

“David, hurry up and thank your Uncle Galen!” Hans reminded David with a nudge.

“Thank you, Uncle Galen!” David frantically thanked him, truly meaning it.

“David, your father has never asked anyone for a favor throughout his entire life. However, after you got attacked this time, he looked to me for help. I will stay here for the time being and deal with the Sky Wolf Mercenary Corps,” Galen told David after looking at Hans.

“Galen, why are you saying that?” Hans asked, gently patting Galen.
