Chapter 399: Chapter 213 Mimicry Personality: Planning and Targeting_2

"13%" Standing aside, Alik quickly responded, "Casting Star Mechanics all have their own Casting Star Devices, but I haven’t seen him reveal his yet."

"Judging by his current performance, he’s at best a highly skilled Mechanical Master."

Prince Bai Jiang nodded, and Asmara added, "I didn’t expect such an unexpected gain; he must have a profound understanding of the Ascender Civilization to be able to restore a complete set of Feros Armor."

"It’s back." Alik suddenly exclaimed loudly.

On the screen, Li Ming had replied to the message—

"Has the combat video of my mentor been circulated your way? What do you think?"

Li Ming held the smart terminal; not many could recognize that Feros Armor, but those who did were all heavyweights.

"I saw it yesterday, but have been in meetings ever since. Princess Asmara and my father have been whispering, and I have no idea what they’re up to."

"Is your mentor that formidable? I thought he was just an ordinary Mechanical Master."

Li Ming frowned, "Stop fishing for information, find out what they are up to, then ask about my mentor."

"Anomaly in speech pattern detected, inconsistent with close friends’ speech pattern, emergency correction in progress..."

Prince Bai Jiang furrowed his brows.

"Don’t worry, with our relationship, I’d tell you first thing if something happens."

Li Ming looked at this sentence, and felt oddly uncomfortable.

Would Feder speak to him like this?

Between them, the relationship had always been reciprocal use, which is why he told him to stop fishing for information, if he wanted to know more, he needed to provide something else in exchange.

And Feder had always been the intimidating one, why was he so cooperative this time?

"By the way, there’s something here that I might need your help with." Li Ming looked at the next message, that sense of oddness intensifying.

He didn’t respond.

"Relationship assessment error, data error..."

"Ending conversation..."

A string of errors followed, Asmara’s brows tightly knitted.

"Forget it, it’s not something important, I need to attend a meeting. Let’s leave it at that."

After sending out this message, Alik’s expression looked slightly grim, and he turned around to say, "Your Highness, the preliminary assessment of the mimic personality is out. There’s absolutely no close friendship between the two, and there’s even a 62% chance that they are not friends."

Not friends?

Prince Bai Jiang’s brows tightened, how did they get the previous intelligence?

Asmara glanced at him indifferently, "Old man, your son wasn’t telling the truth, huh."

"When is the next time we can communicate?" she asked.

"Based on the assessment, it’s best to wait three days." Alik hesitated, "What speech pattern should we use next time?"

"Let’s decide then." Asmara shook her head, then asked, "What about Wu Yanqing?"

"The mimic personality of Wu Yanqing indicated that it is best if the other party initiates the conversation," Alik said helplessly.

Asmara frowned, "What about the detailed relationship assessment of Li Ming?"

Alik appeared helpless, "Not a single relationship surpasses that of close kin, and there’s no one who can truly threaten him. I’ve never come across such a strange psychological profile."

"Before and after his father’s death, they’re almost two completely opposite personalities. If data from both psychological profiles were inputted, it would result in a mimic personality resembling a schizophrenic."

"The Profiler even speculated that it was his father’s death that caused the closed psyche to completely split into two contrasting personalities, consuming the original personality."

Asmara’s gaze turned cold, "Wu Yanqing won’t do either?"

Alik shook his head: "Wu Yanqing’s mentorship with him didn’t even last a year, and the time they spent together didn’t surpass a month. They are not close, and he doesn’t even rank in the top five in the relationship assessment."

Prince Bai Jiang couldn’t help but shake his head, "Tricky."

"However..." Alik hesitated, "Considering the appearance of the Mechanical Azure Dragon, there might be an exchange of benefits between them, perhaps we can start from there."

"Before the next conversation, I need a feasible plan," Asmara ordered directly, and Alik’s face showed bitterness, "Yes, Your Highness."

......

Odd, something’s not right, Li Ming was still pondering this as he looked at the last two sentences.

He imagined Feder’s face, the expression when saying these two sentences to him, indescribably bizarre and awkward.

Did I torment him into developing feelings?

Clearly, that was impossible. He quickly realized that the true identity of the one he was conversing with might very well not be Feder.

In his previous life, it was precisely because of screens that many comical and frustrating incidents occurred, let alone in the highly developed era of interstellar travel.

It’s not to say that one hasn’t seen the person in question; even if a video did pop up, it wouldn’t necessarily be Feder himself.

If it’s not Feder, then the other party obviously doesn’t understand their secrets.

Planning to strike at me? No, perhaps at my "teacher."

Has that mecha been recognized? Li Ming suddenly thought of many possibilities.

He casually scrolled through the backend information, replying to numerous people.

"Others are still concerned about the death of Isus, many have been taken away for questioning, it seems not to be Yitelan Civilization’s people, they have extremely high-tech instruments, similar to lie detectors..." Li Ming’s eyes fixated; this was a message from Luo Chuan.

Persistent indeed.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

The knocking interrupted his train of thought; Cassis came looking for him, Ulrich and the others wanted to discuss some matters.

Entering the conference room, the three’s faces looked rather grim. Sandro said in a deep voice, "He’s here, go ahead and repeat it."

Theo shook his head, then turned to Li Ming and said, "I’ve spoken with Torch. They’ll attribute those people’s deaths to the abrupt emergence of an A-class life form."

"Because so many details were covered up, they clearly don’t believe it."

"At the same time, they’re resistant to our request for all of us to enter the Ascender Relics."

Li Ming sat in his chair, listening to Ulrich continue, "Our four A-class life form combat strengths have made them fearful, reluctant to accept us easily."

"What’s the strength level of Torch?" Li Ming asked.

"At their peak, they had at most eight A-class life forms; now there should only be two," Ulrich said.

Torch, too, was an old Resistance Organization in the Silver Star Cluster, with their peaks and declines, now in a trough.

"Only two A-class life forms?" The number surprised Li Ming; this was a Resistance Organization nearly spread throughout the Silver Star Cluster.

"Correct, but the number of B-class life forms should be around forty to fifty," Theo added.

"Forty to fifty?" Li Ming was taken aback internally.

Sandro said carelessly, "Such resistance organizations are like this; they all have some kind of thing called faith or goal that sustains them. Even at their lowest point, they may have had no A-class life forms."

This was entirely different from Raiders; had the boss not firmly controlled those underneath him, a revolt would have happened long ago.

"Moreover, they understand dimensional creatures very well; this is also a troublesome issue," Theo explained.

"No rush, the initiative is in our hands," Li Ming said lightly, "If their Mechanic cannot solve their immediate problems straight away, then they will never be able to solve them."

The three exchanged glances before Ulrich spoke, "Correct, they will eventually agree, but there is a precondition; we hope your excellency does not have secret contacts with them."

Li Ming surveyed the three, who again stood together, worried that Azure Dragon would leave them behind and collude in disgrace with the Torch Organization.

"Rest assured," Li Ming promised, "We’re all in the same boat."

Simple assurances had no actual effect, but Ulrich and the others simply showed their stance, letting the other party weigh their options.

"By the way, have you located the United Fleet?" Li Ming suddenly remembered to ask.

"We’ve found them; not long ago, they wiped out a resistance organization related to Torch and should now be resting in Ussel Civilization," Theo nodded. The sudden disappearance of the United Fleet had caused many to become anxious, all searching for them.

It was only a few hours ago that news arrived.

"Ussel Civilization." Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief and pondered, "From there, what’s the fastest time it would take to reach the Land of Stars by travel?"

"Arriving at the Land of Stars?" Sandro laughed, "The United Fleet has not shown off enough yet, there are still a few months before that tide. What would they come here for?"

Theo considered for a moment, then said, "Each warship’s travel speed is different; group marches proceed at the lowest travel speed. I reckon it’ll take one and a half months to arrive."
