Chapter 212: Chapter 97: Destruction, Joining, Belated Assistance_3

However, whether they admit it or not, Dusk inevitably had doubts about whether Chen Ming possessed this capability.

Even if there was irrefutable evidence proving that Chen Ming truly couldn’t control the Dusk AI, Dusk couldn’t completely dismiss this suspicion, or they would truly be fools.

Thus, Chen Ming’s response wasn’t actually important.

Just as Chen Ming thought, the Brilliant AI didn’t care about his answer after asking and proceeded to the next question.

”We need the specifics of your abilities. We know humans have specific psychic institutions to assess psychics, and we need your assessment report.”

This question from Brilliant really stumped Chen Ming, and he explained, ”I haven’t systematically studied knowledge in spiritual energy, nor have I undergone assessments from testing institutions.”

”My mentor in spiritual energy suggested that systematic learning for naturally awakened psychics might reduce their developmental potential.”

”So I can only give you an overview of my abilities, and even I’m unclear on the details.”

Brilliant didn’t force Chen Ming on this matter, simply saying, ”Please go ahead.”

Chen Ming organized his language slightly and chose selectively to explain his abilities.

After all, this was crucial to his worth to Dusk later on; if belittled, Dusk might choose to nip the risk in the bud.

However, he certainly wouldn’t disclose anything he shouldn’t.

After answering this question, Brilliant continued with a few seemingly trivial questions.

They were all about Chen Ming himself, but also included a few strange questions about his views on Dusk.

In the end, Brilliant gave Chen Ming a definitive response.

Dusk agreed to Chen Ming’s joining.

In fact, when Dusk was willing to come and rescue, this outcome was basically foreseeable as long as Chen Ming didn’t say anything reckless.

Chen Ming also understood that this conversation wasn’t the main test and probe.

The real deal would come later with his performance after joining Dusk’s domain.

After Brilliant gave Chen Ming the affirmative answer, it suddenly added, ”Additionally, there are some necessary conditions we must explain to you.”

The term ’necessary conditions’ made Chen Ming pay more attention, awaiting Brilliant’s follow-up.

”It’s about your arrangements after this.”

Chen Ming perked up his ears to listen intently, as these conditions and the benefits he would gain next at Dusk determined how long he would stay there before seeking help to pull him out of Dusk.

”It’s the same treatment as you humans give to our captured Dusk individuals.”

”You will work for us on the basis of meeting the most basic survival and physiological needs.”

Chen Ming found it hard to define how much these needs actually were, so he asked, ”Is there a more specific explanation?”

”Yes, according to Earth Standard Time, it’s an eight-hour work, eight-hour rest, and eight-hour free schedule.”

Chen Ming paused for a moment.

If he had just escaped from the Mining Space Station and arrived at the Pirate Space Station before, he would have been extremely happy to wholeheartedly betray humanity.

But now, he had many ideas to realize.

So while the work offer from Dusk was tempting, it wasn’t enough to entice Chen Ming to stay forever.

He still had to find a way to gain enough benefits from Dusk to prepare for his future.

Without receiving a response from Chen Ming, Brilliant asked, ”Is there any problem?”

”No, no problem.”

”Good, we will conduct an observation period with you later, and Gamma A will continue to interface with you. You can raise any needs directly to him.”

Chen Ming was quite satisfied with this result, even though the current situation was the result of military coercion and threats.

But his choice to join Dusk was an opportunity for both Dusk and himself.

Chen Ming believed he could seize it.

After the communication ended.

Brilliant sent a brief message through the ship’s equipment to the star system where the Kleitka Computer replica that Chen Ming had seen on the map was located.

”High-risk but low, extremely high returns, requires more practical assessment.”

In Dusk’s view, the risk and value Chen Ming carried were acceptable, which was why they responded with such a message.

Moreover, Dusk had actually prepared some precautions in case advanced Dusk AI cores were truly controlled by Chen Ming.

However, this precaution wasn’t needed, confirming that Chen Ming indeed didn’t have remote control capabilities.

Therefore, Chen Ming’s risk was noted as high but low on the message.

Soon, Brilliant received a reply, which was also a very brief statement.

”Dusk needs an overall upgrade.”

Chen Ming wasn’t clear on Dusk’s internal communication, but he could roughly guess that it was essentially an evaluation of him.

He could also guess how much longer it would take for Dusk’s other work ships to reinstall the Ruler that had been destroyed.

So while Dusk’s work would take some time, and since Chen Ming had nothing to do at the moment, he thought he might as well take a trip back along the Superspace Channel.

To check the current situation around the Star System Superspace.

Chen Ming made a request to Brilliant, who didn’t refuse and even sent other ships to accompany him.

It provided protection, while also ensuring that Chen Ming wouldn’t use his connection with Dusk to escape and run away.

Under the protection of some Dusk ships, Chen Ming returned to the place where the battle had just occurred.
