Chapter 1078: Chapter 307: Promise - Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chen Ming casually sat down on the dormitory sofa. After taking a bottle of purified water handed by Bai Quan and taking a sip, he asked, "By the way, is it you who let He Gu bring me to the report meeting?" Bai Quan plopped down next to Chen Ming and replied, "Of course not. I just had him bring you here to me." "Then what’s his intention?" Without thinking, Bai Quan said, "Of course he wants you to help with things at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute, what else could it be?" While speaking, he also explained to Chen Ming about the situation at the Spiritual Ability Research Institute and his speculation on He Gu’s intentions. Chen Ming came to fully understand what He Gu meant. So Chen Ming had nothing to say. Anyway, he would still have to meet He Gu later and could discuss it more thoroughly next time. Now, he had to talk about the content of the conference that had just ended with Bai Quan. Since becoming a Psychic, the strengthening of Chen Ming’s Spiritual Power had gradually enhanced his memory. He could now repeat everything said by the Admiral at the conference verbatim, without any of his own interpretation. No need to read from a script, and no need to consider the attendees. Chen Ming spoke out all at once in front of Bai Quan. He only paused slightly when Bai Quan signaled. In less than half an hour, he had recounted the content of a conference that had just taken almost an hour and a half to complete. After listening, Bai Quan lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I roughly understand." "The meeting content is pretty much as I expected, targeting Bayne and conveniently targeting us too. That can be considered why I asked He Gu to bring you here." Bai Quan foresaw the Legion would take action against the division, so he found an opportunity to bring Chen Ming over to facilitate face-to-face discussion on some complex topics. "So... what should I do then?" "Well, although the Legion temporarily plans to protect the Galor division, there will definitely be people taking actions. If the division over there suffers heavily, it would be bad for both of us." "But even if you didn’t say it, I would find ways to protect the division." Bai Quan shook his head and said, "Your protection would be military-based, but just that kind of protection isn’t enough. I need you to help me manage the division’s situation." "Isn’t Jing Xian there?" "It’s not enough. He can’t handle so many things. I must rely on his assistance to manage the entire division, let alone him." "Then what do you want me to do?" "These few days I’ll casually teach you some administrative management guidelines. You don’t need to thoroughly understand them, just have a rough idea of some management strategies." "Is that enough?" Bai Quan had just said that he and Jing Xian barely managed the division’s situation. Even if Chen Ming learned administrative management knowledge along with Jing Xian, it might not necessarily be effective. Bai Quan denied again and said, "Of course not. My idea is that when you go back, don’t hold back, use your Spiritual Energy to comprehensively control the entire division." Chen Ming was a bit surprised, opening his eyes wide to look at Bai Quan and asked, "Are you sure?" "Sure." Bai Quan confirmed, "You definitely know more about your Spiritual Ability than I do." "From my perspective, as long as you have some administrative management knowledge and someone who can comprehensively cooperate with you, like Jing Xian, you can manage the entire division well." For Bai Quan, having the division fully controlled by Chen Ming is definitely better than being infiltrated by others. The solid foundation he worked hard to build must not be exploited during his absence. Moreover, there’s the most crucial point. Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy stands as a deterrent to everyone. "Okay." For Chen Ming, this wasn’t a loss. His relationship with Bai Quan was already well-established. In the Fourteenth Legion, he belonged to the same faction as Bai Quan, along with various interest entanglements. If Bai Quan suffered losses, Chen Ming would also suffer losses, definitely not watching Bai Quan lose out. Having received a satisfactory answer, Bai Quan additionally advised: "Besides over at the division, you also need to be cautious yourself, because someone may come to trouble you." "It might not be a direct confrontation, but likely an insidious plot behind the scenes." "You might have to stand firm until I finish learning new command techniques over here and until the main headquarters sends troops to assist the Galor division over there, only then can I return with them." Chen Ming naturally had no objections to this. Bai Quan now learning more about the Mechanical Race’s command techniques would increase his chances of survival on the battlefield. However, Chen Ming didn’t quite understand one thing. "The Legion sent a fleet to Bayne, ready to control Bayne." "He Gu told me another fleet will go to Bayne in a week." "And then a fleet at the recent front line is fighting with Dusk’s main forces." "The Legion can still spare a fleet to battle the Mechanical Race?" Bai Quan seemed to find it completely reasonable, saying, "What do you think? If it weren’t for our Legion’s military strength surpassing many people’s estimates, why would the conference implicitly suggest dividing our Legion? This is the strength of our Fourteenth Legion." "Exaggerated." After Chen Ming’s remark, neither continued speaking. But not even two seconds passed. "I..." "Uh..." Chen Ming and Bai Quan simultaneously interrupted each other’s speeches with sudden utterances. Bai Quan immediately said, "You go ahead and speak." "Okay," After slightly organizing his words, Chen Ming said, "I want to sell off some Energy Crystal Crab’s Energy Crystal Technology."
