Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 356: Chapter 133 Cloning Research Institute_2

To be considered a significant blow, at least one main ship must be taken as spoils of war.

Bai Quan doesn’t need Chen Ming to do too much; he simply needs Chen Ming to provide some information about the main ships.

The main ships of Dusk cannot all be stationed in any single star system within the star realm; there must be primary docking locations and some secondary ones.

This facilitates the coverage of the entire star realm by the main ships’ firepower, preventing issues like delayed rescue operations.

For instance, during the previous raid by Sinda Corporation on Dusk, a single main ship came to aid.

And these are exactly what Bai Quan is targeting.

Chen Ming’s intelligence, already spread throughout the entire Dusk Star Realm, can indeed help in acquiring approximate location data of the main ships.

After all, the whereabouts of a main ship are not that easy to hide.

Beyond the ship itself acting as a reminder, there are also the redeployment of massive amounts of supplies and the movement of vast numbers of lower-level Dusk entities.

Even if he can’t obtain it, Chen Ming can actively inquire through Brilliant.

Using the excuse of worrying that Chen Ming might be taken by humans again, he can question the upper echelons of Dusk whether there’s enough defensive force to approach and obtain the information.

If a main ship is raided, other main ships will surely come to assist.

Therefore, Dusk’s defense force against Chen Ming, meaning the armed force restricting Chen Ming, will inevitably weaken.

This is advantageous for Chen Ming, who has not yet controlled the entire Dusk Star Realm.

He can retreat more easily when Bai Quan makes his move, and have more time and opportunity to take more things from Dusk.

Moreover, this counts as an additional plan that doesn’t affect his original arrangements.

Because whether Bai Quan comes to raid or not, he still has to execute according to the original plan; if Bai Quan doesn’t come, it doesn’t affect him.

Chen Ming does not believe others would help him for no reason.

However, this is a straightforward transaction where he remains the advantageous party.

The transaction itself has no negative impact on him, and even if it fails, he will not be blamed.

No matter if he acts sooner or later, it has no impact on him.

Additionally, if this succeeds, it will be beneficial for what he himself wants to accomplish.

Why not do it?

However, some things Chen Ming must clarify in advance.

”What can you offer me?”

Bai Quan had already thought about the price he could pay for this matter and said, ”In the spoils of this mission, all the Alpha Level Dusk cores can be yours, and there will also be a Spiritual Stone as a reward.”

This response was within Chen Ming’s expectation, so he didn’t haggle over the price and directly said:

”I agree, but this time, I hope you keep in touch with me.”

Upon receiving Chen Ming’s response, Bai Quan suddenly felt the pressure on his back lighten considerably.

He felt that this was about right now, so he mentioned in passing, ”About Cheng Xinghe’s situation.”

Chen Ming understood his worry and said, ”He’s fine, still frozen in an escape pod. As long as I’m alive, he won’t die.”

After hearing this news, Bai Quan finally revealed some signs of fatigue and said, ”Thank you.”

This fatigue only showed for a moment before Bai Quan quickly perked up, as there was no time for him to rest.

The next operation would involve the Fourteenth Legion alone.

And the discussions he had with Chen Ming were the confidence grounds for his future actions.

The specific timing of the operation was quickly determined to be seven days later.

That is, on the fifteenth day since Dusk began preparing for the second extraction of Chen Ming’s Enlightenment Nerve, five days before Brilliant’s estimated twenty days of cultivation time.

Chen Ming dared not cut it too close this time.

Otherwise, regardless of how small the probability might be, he couldn’t afford another mishap.

After detailing everything he needed to, Chen Ming suddenly asked Bai Quan: ”Why did you use psychics to probe me twice before?”

Bai Quan immediately denied, ”I didn’t. The psychic I found probing at you was cut off from the start. Were there other psychics that probed you?”

At this point, Chen Ming understood.

The second tactile probe was indeed an operation from Bai Quan’s side, which was cut off immediately.

While the first probe, which had a sense of prying, was actually conducted by a third party.

Chen Ming realized who it was.

It surely was someone from the Battle Zone.

Bai Quan also thought of a similar possibility at this moment.

However, it was Chen Ming who first warned Bai Quan, ”I suggest you be more cautious.”

”The people in the Battle Zone can’t come to the core region of the Dusk Star Realm to look for me now; the most they might do is stir up some trouble after I leave the star realm.”

”But it’s different for you. Your previous actions might have made their hatred for you possibly greater than mine, and you might actually face serious problems.”

”I know.”

Bai Quan said as he placed his hand on the exquisite revolver resting on the table in front of him.

Before the remaining five bullets were expended, no one would dare openly provoke him.

Meanwhile, on Brilliant’s side.

It was accessing a foreign signal through a remote communication device.

Soon, data transmitted via this signal showed an environment resembling a brightly lit research institute.

In a pure white walled space, two rows of neatly arranged culturing pods were placed.

These culturing pods were controlled by various mechanical devices, conducting cultivation work.
