Chapter 683: Chapter 207 Arrival_2
He had to personally adjust and select, picking out useful people from the group, and halfway through, he was tricked into suffering a serious injury.
Only recently has he managed to create a truly trustworthy team.
The current Fourteenth Legion, established for just twenty years and still engaged in frontline battles with Dusk, cannot avoid such issues.
The situation within forces that have been established for even longer is undoubtedly grim.
And as the aggregation of all forces, the Empire is no different.
"Wait, I almost misled you."
Bai Quan suddenly realized he wasnât here to discuss this, and quickly returned to the previous topic, saying: "Do you really understand why Chen Ming is taking such a risk?"
The Psychic, who apparently couldnât avoid an investigation, guessed casually: "Maybe Chen Ming has a way to escape? Should I help you check out his situation?"
"No need, your spiritual energy was detected by him last time, and this time it will be the same."
"Forget it, Iâll just pretend I didnât see anything when the time comes. My position doesnât allow me to do much."
After chatting for a while, Bai Quanâs confusion over Chen Mingâs irrational actions and the slight anger within him subsided considerably.
If someone Bai Quan didnât know made some overtly irrational decisions, he wouldnât even pay them a second glance.
But since Chen Ming is someone he knows, and after these months of interactions, they are quite familiar with each other.
Thatâs why, when Bai Quan couldnât stop Chen Ming from making such a self-destructive decision, he felt that anger.
But now that heâs calmed down, he has nothing more to say; theyâre adults, they have to be responsible for their own decisions.
However, at this moment, the Psychic suddenly said: "Hey, you should think positively, Chen Ming isnât an idiot, right?"
"No."
"Then he must have prepared himself before coming here. Didnât he say it himself? He made that decision after gaining capabilities; his spiritual energy must have progressed."
"What you say makes sense, but I donât know whether his spiritual energy progress is good or bad."
The Psychic, in an experienced tone, said: "Donât worry about Chen Ming himself, or why heâs here, think about what you can have him do now that heâs here."
"Itâs as if even if he did join in as you imagined, normally you wouldnât be wary of someone with his current level of spiritual energy."
"His spiritual energy is right there, isnât prevention necessary? Would your attitudes be different from now?"
Bai Quan considered the hypothetical situation and said: "At least then I wouldnât have to worry about Chen Ming having any bad intentions."
The Psychic immediately asked: "Howâs your relationship with him?"
"Itâs okay."
"Then since heâs in contact with you daily, learning technology from you, he suddenly plans to harm you without warning? What do you think?"
"The main thing is that his behavior today was suddenly very strange, itâs hard for me not to overthink."
"Then try another thought process, what if heâs just tricking you? Maybe he simply doesnât want to learn today and found an excuse; is that possible?"
"Itâs unlikely."
"The probability isnât zero, right?"
Bai Quan thought it over again.
Chen Mingâs mental state has always been quite stable, and he usually expresses himself appropriately and reasonably; itâs unlikely he would suddenly use such awkward manners to express his thoughts.
But today, Chen Ming gave him a familiar yet unfamiliar feeling, making it hard for him to be sure.
However, Bai Quanâs emotions were quickly stabilizing, soon realizing it was just his friend joking around.
Something that he usually considered a mere jest, unexpectedly made him ponder seriously.
Bai Quan hurriedly dragged the topic back to the original subject.
The matter concerning Chen Ming already had a conclusion.
Which was that Chen Ming would be responsible for his own decisions.
So the Psychic didnât continue to joke around but said seriously: "Anyway, just do your job well, simply assume Chen Ming wants to join your Fourteenth Legion to participate in the war, and assign him some tasks."
Bai Quan responded matter-of-factly: "Actually, itâs a bit tricky to arrange since heâs the strongest in Mechanical Race research, and fighting is out of the question."
"Then just set up a research institute for him, appoint him as director, and call him to attend battles meetings to observe."
"Capable people find the right things to do themselves, you donât have to arrange everything for him."
"Shouldnât you be better at this sort of arranging than me? Wait, donât tell me you havenât organized anything at all?"
Bai Quan denied: "How could that be? Iâve arranged things, but since I came to you, I might as well ask for your opinions. Youâre the easiest Psychic for me to find, what do you suggest about arranging Chen Ming?"
"My opinion?"
"Honestly, Iâd say let him participate in those small-scale reconnaissance missions you have now, it might work."
"Itâs not like itâs a large-scale conflict with the Mechanical Race where you canât just involve someone who might not follow orders."
"Isnât small-scale missions flexible? He knows about the Mechanical Race, it might be beneficial, no?"
"Moreover, Chen Mingâs spiritual energy can affect objects under his control."
