Chapter 833: Chapter 245: Unexpected Outcome_3
"The Spiritual Ability Research Institute primarily focuses on researching aspects of Spiritual Energy, such as drugs used by Psychics, Spiritual Weapons, and Psychics themselves are subjects of study."
"However, He Guâs research direction is quite unique, it seems to be about the civilian application of Spiritual Ability Technology."
"But I donât understand this stuff at all."
Bai Quan looked Chen Ming up and down and said, "What do you mean you donât understand? Isnât the Purgatory Core an example?"
"I happened to go to find him previously precisely to find suitable users for the Purgatory Core."
"He seemed interested in the basic effect of the Purgatory Core at that time, which is the controller you made for ordinary people."
"I feel like his reason for coming to see you now might have something to do with this too."
Chen Ming was a bit surprised to hear this, as scenes from previous simulations flashed across his mind, where He Gu was asking him those questions: "So youâre saying he was already interested in me? But I didnât see it during the simulation."
"Previously, he was brought by Lou Wei because you didnât approve of the formula he wrote to calculate Psychic strength, so he was just asking you some questions based on that formula."
"You gave your reasons, and he had nothing to say, so he sat back and watched the show; the simulation situation wasnât much related to him."
"Moreover, heâs not the one responsible for verifying Spiritual Ability Technology at the institute, others do that work, the person responsible for reviewing your Purgatory Core technology wasnât him, he probably didnât know about you before."
"It was later on, when I couldnât find suitable people to test the Purgatory Core, that he found out when I went to ask for his help."
"But by then, the simulation was long over."
Bai Quan explained this to Chen Ming, then suddenly turned around and said, "Of course, we canât rule out the possibility that he learned about you beforehand."
"?"
Bai Quan immediately explained, "But think about it, even if he knows about your technology, he certainly doesnât know the limits of your Spiritual Energy."
"Your speed of progress is so astonishing that anyone might start to doubt, right?"
"If I didnât know you for a long time, I wouldnât believe anyone could reach your level."
"Iâll take that as a compliment."
Chen Ming accepted Bai Quanâs words, which seemed to be praising his Spiritual Energy, and said, "In that case, thereâs no problem interacting with him, but it should be later."
Coincidentally, he also had the idea of trading away the Spiritual Power Armor, which the Spiritual Ability Research Institute surely had a connection with the Psychicâs Contribution Points exchange site, maybe he could learn some additional information through He Gu.
If thereâs an opportunity to meet again, he could try to chat, but if not, then thatâs fine.
The topic about He Gu ended.
Chen Ming also reached Stardust Level.
But just as he was preparing to go for dinner, he suddenly realized something, turned to Bai Quan and said, "We just met up with someone today, messed with them a bit, and it seems like we havenât done anything else, so what are we supposed to do next?"
"Indeed, we havenât done anything, but we donât need to do anything either."
"Since weâve already guided the supervisory department into action, there must be an outcome for this matter that is favorable to us."
"We just have to wait."
Chen Ming felt it was a bit odd and asked, "Is it really alright to not do anything?"
Bai Quan answered naturally, "Of course itâs fine, we already did what we needed to do previously, what else is there to do now?"
"Why do you always think you must personally do something? These matters only need a start from us, and the rest will be done by others."
"Itâs just a bit different from my habits."
Chen Ming said slightly awkwardly, "Sometimes I do delegate tasks, but I generally explain everything clearly and make sure the main purpose is clear, so at least there are no issues with the direction."
"This time itâs just doing my own thing and letting others decide what to do, it feels... uncomfortable."
"It gives me the feeling of what if someone doesnât do their part well?"
Bai Quan was still with the same demeanor and said, "If they donât do it well, then have someone fix it. If itâs the kind of situation where one mistake causes the whole thing to fail and canât be fixed, it shouldnât be done in that direction in the first place."
"In normal arrangements, just prepare a backup plan and watch for now. If someone makes a mistake and canât fix it, replace them; there are always plenty of capable people watching those positions."
Chen Ming felt Bai Quanâs words were indeed right, but he was still worried about one potential scenario.
"You see, over at Lou Weiâs, wasnât it because one person didnât do their part well that it attracted Zuo Jingâs Psychics to assassinate us? Initially, if it were just a small fleet, they wouldnât have been investigated."
Bai Quan couldnât refute Chen Mingâs example and admitted, "What youâre saying is indeed a problem, but such things are always inevitable, even for Dusk and the Mechanical Race, itâs not like they never make mistakes."
"At least, make sure those close to us are taken care of, so they donât cause problems. When a situation arises, just handle the situation itself and donât get dragged into it."
"Youâll surely encounter similar situations in the future, you canât always handle everything personally, so youâll have to do it this way in the future."
