Chapter 390: Everyones On The Move! (2/2)
She had been assigned to the free space zone to take over Huang Zheng's duties. The authority presumed Huang Zheng's incapability in the administration while recognizing Feng Su's vision and this being the perfect opportunity to train her. So there she was, departing, as the chosen one of the tribe.
Beep! Beep!
The communicator rang, she glanced at the incoming code. She shuddered and picked up immediately, ”Yes?”
”Lord Feng Su, please head to the chief's room right away. You have 15 minutes.” The voice was cold.
Chief's room? Chief?
Does that mean...
”Ah!” She tried to sound calm but her speculation seized her sanity.
”It has been confirmed.” The chief was grim as he spoke, ”Huang Zheng is dead. Our relationship with the Abductor has been exposed to a certain degree. Fortunately Huang Zheng had erased all data at the base, I would call that a saving grace, maybe we have not been exposed beyond help. You would be taking care of these right after you got there. Cease all ongoing operations with the Abductor for the moment. Do you understand?”
”Yes, chief,” replied Feng Su.
The old chief nodded happily, ”Your vision had always been great. You also performed exceptionally in the Sanctuary, keep up the good work and hopefully you would not let us down.”
”Yes, chief!”
... (Meanwhile at the other corner of the galaxy)...
”You seemed to have mastered the method. With this, your mathematical capability should be about my standard now. And you still have more rooms for expansion. You are far more talented than Ye. Nonetheless, you have a long way to go if you want to be a professional Maverick.” Stated Mu/Shang flatly at Little Rock.
”Yes, I know,” nodded Little Rock expressionlessly, ”Regarding that, when would I get the information from you?”
”About 5 days later. I would need some time to prepare.” Mu/Shang gave an estimation after a moment of calculation.
”Alright.” And Little Rock zipped his mouth and turned back to the processor.
Zhu Ling put her practice on hold and gave a glance at Little Rock, who then returned a smile at her.
”Ahahahahahahahahaha!” That was when Lian Yue's insanity roared throughout the ship, ”Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! I got it!” Lian Yue exited the lab and waddled to Zhu Ling, grabbed her silky hand, muttered, ”Ling my girl, look at this! I did it! I had finally completed the blueprint of this engine's modification! See what a genius I am, praise me...” His two hands were caressing the fair hand of hers, endearingly.
Towards such act, Zhu Ling only lifted her leg, ”Ow ow ow owww...” A thump was heard as Lian Yue fell onto the ground.
Qiu Man took a look at the busy folks, feeling emotional. The members of the ship might seem scarce at strength, but she knew the power of these folks in his heart.
A supreme machine with imaginably two different personalities, an aloof mathemagicians, a truly talented genius in engines, and a female warrior from the dark and...
”Yeah, me myself, a lady strategist behind the scene.”
Such combination... how much strength would it produce I wonder...
”Any news on Ye?” asked Mu/Shang.
”No. They had not found anything on him. Ye seemed to have vaporized completely, somehow... None of the aristocrats have found him at the moment. ” Reported Qiu Man as she placed the information down. She looked at that handicapped machinery, whom people called it ”Mu/Shang”. After countless glances, it still felt like a new surprise whenever she looked at it.
Like who, who was capable of creating such intelligence?
Thought she as her thin index finger scratched the polished chin of hers. She was trying to focus. She was well-aware of the importance of the disappeared boy to this handicapped mech, so she could not risk putting herself into a bad situation because of a little trickery in the search.
She might be important in this group but that did not mean she was irreplaceable. This handicapped mech had another side apparently, whose nature was cunning and dark, that her little tricks had been long read before she even initiated them.
”Also, the Shi family wished that we could provide them some techniques, on the engine for example.” Her eyes shifted at the rolling genius on the ground.
”What's your opinion?” asked Mu/Shang calmly.
Qiu Man had an idea in mind apparently, ”I believe we could reveal the unimportant portion of our techniques but we would need a corresponding payoff from them.”
”For example?”
”A node laboratory at the Virtual World. That'll be great.” Qiu Man gave a thought as she glanced at Little Rock.
