Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 421 - 149 Chen Ming’s Method_2

Meanwhile, Chen Ming was somewhat surprised at how quickly he could deduce the purpose behind his actions.

However, Chen Ming had given him many surprises before, so it was quite normal for a Psychic to surprise him again.

Moreover, Bai Quan had always held Chen Ming in high regard, so now that his thoughts were guessed, he was only slightly startled and admitted, "That’s indeed the case."

"I’ve been delayed here for too long."

"If that New Star Level successfully initiates and Dusk can later confirm I have no other contingencies, reinforcements can be sent."

"I only have two ordinary Offensive Level crafts, which aren’t enough to hold the field any longer, so I have to retreat."

"But luckily, at least I took a radiation ship at the start."

"A gain is still a gain, though slightly less than expected."

Chen Ming was a bit puzzled and asked, "Don’t you count on the special operations team you arranged?"

"The special operations team was just a temporary idea of mine, can only be considered as an add-on, success depends on luck."

"I usually actively avoid luck factors, unless there’s no other choice, then I still want to create the final results myself."

"Yet you spoke so seriously before."

Bai Quan explained, "One must have an attitude when handling affairs. If I had been casual when asking for your help, wouldn’t you have felt lazy to assist me?"

"Moreover, it’s merely that I dislike luck factors, but if a bit of luck and a few losses can bring unimaginable gains, I’d gladly proceed."

"It’s just that I wouldn’t completely stake hope on it, hence why I called it an add-on."

Chen Ming slightly shook his head and said, "Two billion for an add-on, the rich sure are different."

Bai Quan instinctively replied, "You Psychic... oh, you just... no matter, you won’t care much about money in the future."

Chen Ming immediately noticed the issue in Bai Quan’s words and said, "Then you mean, you’re taking advantage of my current concern for money to use those things I won’t care about later to ask for my help?"

"But you still need money now. And I said ’not care,’ not ’not need.’

"Also." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Bai Quan actively skipped this topic and continued, "You’ve seen too, my idea is to let the Offensive Level craft advance alone, seek opportunities, if found, I might directly break Dusk’s defenses."

"If not found, then it’s time to prepare for retreat."

"Look at Dusk’s battle line, though it appears vulnerable anytime, in reality, it has tenacity and can undoubtedly continue holding."

"I have an Offensive Level craft here attracting all of Dusk’s firepower while the remaining fleet is attacking full force."

"Even so, it hasn’t been broken, probably no follow-up."

"I need to prepare to retract the battle line and retreat here, otherwise, it’ll be hard to leave once Dusk’s reinforcements arrive."

Bai Quan was silent for a short moment, then said to Chen Ming, "The next batch of assault craft is ready; after this one, there’s one last batch with fewer numbers."

"Release them all together?"

"Release them separately, deploy more here."

Next to Bai Quan’s hand, Chen Ming displayed a three-dimensional image of a giant dock on the terminal, marking an area where his controlled robots were the most concentrated, namely the defensive artillery platform’s region.

Bai Quan instantly noticed the considerable detail in the panel’s three-dimensional image, apparently obtained from on-site investigation with specific data.

He promptly copied this imaging file and sent it elsewhere; this data was quite valuable.

Chen Ming clearly noticed Bai Quan’s action but allowed it.

Because other than him, there were others with the detailed three-dimensional imaging data, including the special operations team.

If the special operations team could return alive, the data wouldn’t be as valuable; better to directly give it to Bai Quan now.

Having this data is akin to owing a debt of gratitude.

Bai Quan evidently understood this too; owing a debt to a Psychic wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

After saving the data properly, he promptly agreed to Chen Ming’s request and commanded the department in charge of launching the assault craft.

Released a new batch of reinforced assault craft.

Simultaneously, he was pondering why Chen Ming specified the deployment locations.

Unable to think of an outcome for the time being, he straightforwardly asked Chen Ming.

"Why do you need me to concentrate the assault craft deployment? Separately deploying them could better disperse Dusk’s internal defensive powers, thereby scattering their attention."

"Because I’m useful."

Chen Ming’s reply could be described as weaving "I don’t want to say" into those words.

Bai Quan didn’t press further and continued to command the fleet, gradually starting to contract their formation.

And Chen Ming, lacking the leisure to chat, focused his attention on those Dusk robots facing the Fourteenth Legion’s robots.

To interfere in nothing would obviously be foolish.

But to determine how exactly to interfere, he must personally attempt it to ascertain.

At this time, observing from the defensive artillery platform shows the second batch, or more accurately, the third batch of launched assault craft has already circumvented from outside the battle line.

After intercepting quite a number, around one hundred assault craft collided with the dilapidated outer wall of the giant dock, piercing within.

The numbers were more than before.

It seemed that the Fourteenth Legion’s frontal pressure was sufficient, leaving Dusk’s protective forces somewhat insufficient.
