Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 418 - 148 Ideas_3

It was truly an area that Chen Ming could not possibly involve himself in.

However, upon further thought, it wasn’t all that bad.

After all, having reached this point, Chen Ming’s subsequent support wouldn’t hold much significance. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He certainly couldn’t directly control the Alpha-Level Dusk responsible for the giant shipyard.

The current situation was merely that he couldn’t provide any additional assistance to the special action squad in advance.

But to prevent the special action squad from harboring any unrealistic ideas, Chen Ming added a sentence after his last statement.

"From here on, you have to proceed on your own, or try to find some data lines. If you can’t, then just rely on luck."

The captain still maintained his respectful demeanor towards Chen Ming.

This time, without any hesitation, he immediately abandoned the plan and ideas he had just proposed, and said, "Mr. Chen, we adhere to your decisions."

"Moreover, you’ve already done plenty. We never imagined we could break through the outer two layers of the giant shipyard so easily."

A trace of genuine respect appeared on the captain’s face under his protective suit, rather than the superficial respect maintained from the beginning.

Seeing such a change and expression on the captain’s face,

Chen Ming suddenly recalled a sentence Bai Quan had said before.

When a commander can bring victory to his soldiers, they will naturally rally around him and solve some unnecessary troubles for him.

Now that Chen Ming had brought hope of victory to the special action squad, they seemed to have similar thoughts.

Although Chen Ming actually didn’t need them.

However, it did feel quite good to be respected.

It even gave him a sense of poaching someone else’s talents.

Of course, Chen Ming was just acting according to his plan, without any intent to actually poach.

Therefore, he wasn’t going to avoid it deliberately.

After all, if these members of the special action squad could indeed survive after completing their mission,

it was almost foreseeable that they would excel in the future.

Maintaining good relations with them wouldn’t be bad either.

Even if they couldn’t maintain it, it didn’t matter much; Chen Ming didn’t care too much about future relationships with people.

His focus of development was outside the Empire.

Just do things normally, and let everything else happen naturally.

The squad quickly cleaned up the equipment installed at the data node and set off again.

Though there were many robots and turrets on the road, fully prepared to defend against potential invaders, serving as backup combat units for the Fourteenth Legion Fleet at the front line,

the special ops squad moved through them casually, as if in an uninhabited realm.

The initial slight tension on their faces gradually dissipated as they proceeded deeper.

They had fully understood what kind of abilities the "Mr. Chen" sent by their direct superior Major General Bai Quan possessed.

The electronics technician suddenly looked contemplative.

He recalled the last mission they had executed in Dusk’s territory.

Although the military’s internal news was relatively closed from the outside world,

and when actually performing missions, everyone just had to mind their own tasks,

so ordinary soldiers indeed didn’t know that the last failed mission was actually to rescue Chen Ming.

But the electronics technician’s usual work involved network-related tasks, so his information was often more informed than others.

Thus, he silently connected the Chen Ming rumored externally with the Mr. Chen currently guiding them.

His eyes seemed filled with eagerness.

Because Chen Ming was a Psychic.

Although psychics were only urban legend-level existences in the eyes of ordinary civilians,

in the Edge Star Realm, which was nearly synonymous with lawlessness, and within the Fourteenth Legion, it was almost a semi-public secret.

Moreover, to members of the legion, a psychic held even more important significance.

Though most of the time, a psychic’s value on large-scale battlefields wasn’t that significant, their boss being the exception.

But in executing special missions, like now, when the special action squad was on a mission, the value of a psychic was entirely different.

They could possess overwhelming advantages that no one or modern technology could match on small-scale battlefields.

They could offer the possibility of perfect mission execution to others acting together.

In the eyes of the electronics technician, Chen Ming was such an existence.

And although Chen Ming wasn’t a member of the Fourteenth Legion, and not necessarily even a soldier, since their superior Bai Quan had invited Chen Ming to guide them to accomplish the mission,

their relationship must be quite close.

In the future, there might be opportunities to take part in missions like this again.

When that time comes, he must find a way to participate.

Because this meant achievements that easily led to promotion, even if it bore a heavy burden of gratitude.

The electronics technician silently decided in his heart to share this information with his companions later.

And unknowingly,

the members of the special action squad had already reached the closest location to the shipyard.

Chen Ming had the squad stop, saying, "Beyond the corner ahead, you’ll enter an area temporarily out of my influence."
