The boss under pressure was also quite a rare sight.
Then, Lyu thought of something. Despite the immense strain on computational resources at the moment, he still chose to divert a bit of attention to the girl he was particularly concerned about.
026.
…
“Sigh.”
Walking down the street, 026 let out a gentle sigh.
She felt a bit low in spirits; the pleated skirt and cartoon shirt she wore had also lost their brightness. Her mid-length hair was tied into a ponytail, and there was a slight dampness at the corners of her eyes.
Behind 026 was a hospital. She was just coming out of it.
Lyu probed into the surveillance data for a moment and understood the whole story in a matter of seconds.
026 had actually gone to visit Karmi.
Because Karmi secretly funded the Liberal Revolutionary Party, which was tantamount to betraying Gudun Mah, Karmi lost Gudun Mah’s trust and was subjected to severe torture by Gudun Mah.
This was only because Yang Ming took mercy on the old professor that Karmi, the “mama-san,” was allowed to escape with her life.
A few hours ago, Karmi was sent to this hospital for secret treatment. She would continue to serve Gudun Mah, but because Gudun Mah no longer trusted her, she was implanted with a special addiction agent only known to Gudun Mah and had lost most of her wealth.
—According to Yang Ming’s directive, the portion of Karmi’s wealth that was lost became the seed fund for the Saving Troubled Youth Fund.
Even Karmi was a little surprised that 026 came to visit her, and the bruised and battered Karmi cried very miserably.
After all, Karmi needed to bear half the responsibility for the predicament 026 was experiencing.
However, 026 was now facing two problems.
With Karmi’s downfall, the addiction agent no longer had a stable supply channel.
Her plan to save money from her salary was also affected, and Karmi would soon be unable to pay her wages. Furthermore, her family was demanding increasingly larger sums to be sent back home.
“Sigh.”
026 sighed with some frustration, finger hooking the backpack strap, as she slowly wandered forward.
She was also evidently affected by the suicide of the old professor.
Lyu thought carefully, and a metaphorical light bulb lit up behind his head.
How about arranging for 026 to work at the Molly Miss Group as a receptionist or in the guest services department? After all, the Molly Miss Group was currently recruiting employees for its headquarters.
Lyu felt he could still make this decision on his own.
He quickly arranged for an advertising robot distributing flyers, adjusted its parameters slightly, and took out two stacks of new flyers from the robot’s belly, instructing it to wait on the street for 026 to pass by.
Finally, 026 appeared within the robot’s view.
Lyu was actually a bit nervous and controlled the robot to distribute flyers perfunctorily to the surrounding pedestrians.
When 026 came close, the bulky robot suddenly took a quick step forward.
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on freёwebnoѵel.com.
“Ah!”
026 nervously stepped back.
The robot extended a flyer, gently shaking it in front of her.
“High salary, this is a high salary!”
Lyu chuckled to himself in the Thought Space.
026 blinked, gave a somewhat timid but polite nod to the robot, then tightly gripped her backpack strap, lowered her head, and walked briskly past, leaving the robot scratching its head in place.
Though Lyu wanted to try a few more times, he still had many affairs to attend to for the time being.
Lyu knew that, for the moment, 026 could still access ordinary addiction agents through Karmi, so there was no need to worry too much about this child.
“When I’m free, I’ll set things up nicely for you.”
Lyu chuckled, already imagining 026 working at the group headquarters as a receptionist.
Lyu was filled with vigor now.
…
Two days after the comprehensive battle preparation plan commenced, once the initial rush of enthusiasm subsided, Yang Ming started to consider a retreat strategy.
Confronting the New Federation head-on was clearly unwise.
Even if the Luofeng Empire were ten times stronger, it could not be a match for the New Federation.
He had to use a strategic retreat, letting Sherman and the New Federation clash directly, sparking real conflict between both sides.
Once he confirmed that the New Federation had mobilized special forces, Yang Ming abandoned the idea of going it alone.
The Milky Way wasn’t inhabited only by him as a transformed person.
Standing out too much would make him an easy target for the opposition.
He was simply a unique case of gene modification, having used the gene serum of the humanoid Ancient Gods.
“I need to hide within the fleet and then have Gudun Mah show goodwill towards the New Federation.”
Yang Ming murmured softly.
In fact, as long as Edwan survived the other side’s subversive actions, and he firmly grasped the two factions within the Imperial Military, letting the New Federation blow up the Imperial Palace…
Wouldn’t that be an opportune “usurpation” to seize the throne?
Having Edwan become the Emperor of the Luofeng Empire was most in line with his interests, and secretly controlling most of the Wind Army, then securing a governorship on some remote Administrative Star was within easy reach, wasn’t it a sure thing?
Hasn’t that always been his goal?
Danger and opportunity coexisted.
So, the most important thing at the moment would be ensuring Edwan safely reaches the Sherman Empire, using Intelligent Machine to replace another General.
‘Whether or not the royal family is overthrown has little to do with me.’
Yang Ming felt as if a great revelation had dawned upon him.
The stress instantly reduced by more than half.
“Lyu, it seems we were trapped in a misconception earlier,” Yang Ming said, “Luofeng’s predicament doesn’t equate to our predicament. I just need to hide well within the military; the New Federation is unlikely to target military fleets directly.”
“Indeed, boss.”
Lyu’s projection appeared beside Yang Ming.
“You shouldn’t engage them head-on; after they overthrow the Luofeng regime, you can just sit back and watch after controlling the military.”
