Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 409: Chapter 146 Bai Quan’s Plan_2

It might even cleanse the entire Star Realm, leaving no connected individuals able to escape.

He certainly couldn’t protect the Dusk individuals he controlled in such an important place as the giant shipyard.

So why not let them make one last effort now.

Therefore, Chen Ming agreed to Bai Quan’s request and asked, ”So what exactly is the plan?”

”Dusk keeps a strict watch over places like the shipyard, and the Dusk individuals I control can only access more peripheral areas.”

Bai Quan suddenly analyzed: ”You control so many Dusk individuals, surely it’s not by controlling them one by one yourself, right?”

Without waiting for Chen Ming to reply, he continued, ”So you must have the ability to spread your Spiritual Energy on a large scale.”

”Yet you couldn’t control the entire Dusk Star Realm.”

”Either your Spiritual Power is not enough to continue controlling.”

”Or, the effect of your Spiritual Energy diffusion is certainly limited.”

”Looking at the situation of the giant shipyard, I think it’s the latter. Otherwise, if it were me, I would rather sacrifice a part of the already controlled Dusk individuals to control the entire giant shipyard.”

”So I guess your Spiritual Energy can only have an indirect spreading effect through some things.”

”Is it Dusk itself?”

Chen Ming didn’t speak, and Bai Quan once again guessed his ability.

Or it shouldn’t be called guessing, but rather analyzing.

Knowing the general effect of Chen Ming’s Spiritual Energy, knowing the role it plays, and knowing its ultimate outcome, one could indeed analyze it roughly.

Bai Quan continued speaking: ”My squad should be able to take the Dusk individuals you control to continue spreading your ability.”

”You can surely do many more things.”

Chen Ming rubbed his forehead, forcing himself to pull together, to think more rationally.

Bai Quan’s mission objective was actually already achieved. The achievement of destroying a Dusk Radiation Level Main Ship should already be quite significant.

At least it’s much more significant compared to the last time when a few thousand warships were lost without any results.

So facing Bai Quan’s current additional request, Chen Ming decided to gently refuse.

”I haven’t rested since two days ago; escaping from Dusk has consumed a lot of my energy. I need a rest.”

But Bai Quan seemed to misunderstand Chen Ming’s meaning, translating Chen Ming’s honesty into three words.

Need more pay.

So he said, ”As long as we can win, it’s up to you, just don’t demand too much.”

These words put all the stakes entirely on Chen Ming.

Chen Ming immediately started thinking in his mind about what model the second Cruiser, which was equipped with an Alpha Core he should receive from Bai Quan, should be.

However, he quickly stopped his thoughts, and very rationally said, ”Even if we lose, there needs to be compensation for lost labor.”

”If we lose, I might not be able to return.”

”Tsk.”

Bai Quan looked at the large ”Tsk” character displayed on the panel in front of him and, for some reason, suddenly smiled.

He said, ”Two billion, that’s how much my inheritance is.”

”Deal. So how will your people get up there? It’s not that easy to enter the giant shipyard.”

”Enhanced assault boats.”

Chen Ming furrowed his brows and asked, ”Boarding? What era are we in now?”

”The era doesn’t matter, what’s important is that this method still works.”

”Although we generally use robots, for meticulous destruction tasks now, we can only use people.”

”The risk is extremely high, but the rewards are proportional to the risks.”

”Our Fourteenth Legion values military merit in promotion, failure means just death, but once successful, the future is immeasurable.”

Chen Ming asked puzzledly, ”Will anyone be willing to do such a thing?”

”There will be.”

”Last time too, if it weren’t for a problem on my end.”

”No matter how difficult the conditions are, as long as success is possible, we will still execute the plan to raid Dusk Kleitka after rescuing you.”

”You can see the risks, but once successful, you also understand the rewards.”

Chen Ming always liked to consider the worst possible outcome, asking: ”And what about failure?”

”I know the consequences of failure, which is why my last plan already had an escape route and was confident enough to retreat.”

Chen Ming remained somewhat unconvinced, saying, ”But the people executing this plan probably didn’t have that.”

”Before, when I completed my task before being promoted to Major General, I didn’t either.”

Bai Quan’s calm yet desperate words, filled with a sanguinary aura of rising in a desperate situation, sent a chill through Chen Ming’s heart.

The proper soldiers of the Fourteenth Legion seem to be a bit crazy.

Chen Ming carefully considered it.

Bai Quan’s idea wasn’t harmful to him.

It would just potentially lose some Dusk individuals who were destined to be lost, and he would get a bit more tired.

Bai Quan had already stayed on the Dusk side for too long, and Dusk would soon stop tracking Chen Ming and assign more reinforcements to Bai Quan.

Bai Quan would have at most another two or three hours before being forced to retreat.

Chen Ming only needed to hold on for that time, and results should manifest.

And at the giant shipyard, Chen Ming only controlled some Gamma Level Dusk individuals, limiting what he could do.

If something really happened, it wouldn’t be Chen Ming who needed to act, or even if he did, it would be pointless.

So Chen Ming agreed and asked, ”Specifically, how do you plan to proceed?”

”The specific details of the mission plan should be discussed by the task execution team with you. I’ll temporarily hand over this terminal to them.”
