Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 880 - 880: Section 873 - Meeting

"Prepare to withdraw, there's nothing left to do here. According to the crater rule, the next 'Wormhole Cloud' won't appear here again."

Chen Fei had "Adam" withdraw the protective barrier from the combined giant ship and the second airship combat cluster to save crystal energy.

Although the consumption of a bit of crystal energy wasn't a big deal, you never know what might happen. At a critical moment during sudden combat, that little bit of energy might make the difference.

So it's best to maintain the crystal energy reserve at around 95%, otherwise it's hard to feel secure.

"True that!"

Miyoshi Monk scratched his bald head, agreeing with Chen Fei's speculation.

The likelihood of another 'Wormhole Cloud' appearing near Midway Island was low, so there was no point in keeping so many combat units stationed here.

"Command Center, how long do we need to stay here?"

Chen Fei took the initiative to contact the command team of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee to inquire about the next plans.

"It's still under discussion. There's an important meeting right now. Would you like to observe? Mr. Brown also needs to attend."

A one-on-one communication operator informed Chen Fei and confirmed the presence of the S-Class Space Ability User with him. Thus, she included them both.

She had recently been promoted to the leader of a five-person communication team, responsible for liaising with different units, encompassing intelligence, strategy, logistics, and technical coordination.

Chen Fei's support, gained through his One Man Army psi skill, was prepared not just for him alone but was designed on the scale of an entire army.

"Not attending, not attending. I want to sleep, don't disturb me again! I'm out!"

S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown grumpily declined, holding his pillow. He looked more tired since he had been woken up shortly after lying down.

Then, lazily yawning, he waved to Chen Fei and left the bridge.

What a ridiculous meeting. There's nothing urgent now, so he didn't care at all.

"Command Center, please connect me to the meeting. 'Adam', projection!"

Unlike Heseman Brown, Chen Fei was not so tired. After evolving the airship and completing the fusion, he had delegated most tasks to AI "Adam". His psi skill had barely been used a few times as the fleet commander role had far more responsibilities compared to the front-line combat of an ability user.

If Chen Fei, as a B-Class Ability User, were to engage in inter-civilization battles, he probably wouldn't survive three seconds, as a single Starlight Column would be enough to incinerate him to ashes.

A few seconds later, a 400-inch diagonal 2D holographic projection appeared in the bridge's cabin, displaying 879 character cards the size of playing cards.

Each card displayed a half-body color image, name, gender, age, and position of the participant. Among the 879 participants, many were well-known figures, representing their sovereignties' voices in the meeting.

Chen Fei found his own character card (without the right to speak in the meeting), as well as the cards of Miyoshi Xuesen and Heseman Brown. Surprisingly, he also saw the character card of Mr. Randon, the president of Louis Industrial Company; he didn't expect the big shot to attend the meeting.

Apart from Chen Fei, the other three's character cards were, like many others, offline and had not connected to the online meeting room.

On the 400-inch projection, Miyoshi Xuesen's character card suddenly lit up, and the monk waved his phone at Chen Fei.

Evidently, Miyoshi had logged into the meeting room using his phone as a terminal.

Chen Fei looked away from the monk, continuing, "'Adam', compile the attendee list: the first by sovereignty, the second by position, and the third focusing on combat personnel, command personnel, and politicians."

"Wow! Does such classification matter?"

Before Miyoshi Xuesen could finish his sentence, two-dimensional interfaces displaying the classifications appeared, showcasing exactly the lists Chen Fei wanted.

The information was readily available from the Command Center's database. Adam obtained it through data ports automatically because Cybertrom's derivative was too rigid and was completely outwitted by "Adam".

"Yes! It helps me distinguish between those who pretend to be professionals and those who are genuinely skilled but not good at expressing themselves."

Chen Fei had seen many who were adept at using keyword searches to package themselves as experts and deceive others. If you took them seriously, you might end up in a disastrous situation.

Thus, these deceptive statements were far less credible compared to actual resumes, especially for politicians, who were notorious for being untrustworthy, not a word could be believed.

"Hey! Just listen casually, don't take it seriously. By the time it reaches you, it will have completely changed."

If Chen Fei hadn't wanted to observe, Miyoshi Xuesen wouldn't have even bothered logging in. Seeing so many participants, representing different sovereignties from Blue Star, indicated that the meeting content would likely revolve around wrangling over various issues.

If you want to listen in, go ahead, Chen Fei. You'll probably quickly tire of the meaningless chatter.

"Just take it as a learning experience."

A hint appeared before Chen Fei from "Adam".

Adam: Battlefield data link internal line, Congressman Dero Jean Silvano from Gaul 14th District has submitted a call request.

"A politician? Refuse the call, blacklist, and block internal communications outside of the contact list."

Chen Fei confirmed the caller's information and quickly executed a triple action.

His personal communication number was confidential; only the battlefield data link's internal communications could reach him now.

Without a doubt, this Gaul congressman was doing the same thing as Chen Fei—organizing the attendee list and seeking valuable contacts.

Must be dreaming!

Upon hearing Chen Fei's voice command, Miyoshi Xuesen nodded secretly, satisfied that his self-appointed successor had quickly understood how to manage things.

Though he looked down on such meetings, the participants had the potential to shine in future encounters with the Parasitic Species, bringing prominence to their names. Courting such individuals was routine.

A politician's mouth is full of lies, and not a word should be trusted.

In the capital of Gaul Sovereignty on Europa Continent, a tall, thin man with graying hair was furiously tearing up the plants in his garden. Leaves were flying everywhere, and precious horticultural plants suffered significant damage.

Starting off on the wrong foot, spotting a young person he took a liking to, only to be immediately blacklisted and denied even the chance to communicate.

Damn it, are all young people nowadays so headstrong?

Not far away, the butler sympathetically glanced at the distressed gardener. The poor guy's afternoon date with his lover was ruined!

Chen Fei preemptively set up a white list for his contacts, blocking several dozen call requests from strangers. Most of them were politicians from sovereignties other than The First Sovereign.

From The First Sovereign's perspective, Chen Fei's discreet approach was highly satisfactory. Their meat was in the pot, solid and secure.

After a while, most of the 800-plus character cards turned bright colors, showing they were online, and had connected to the meeting.

The command team of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee was recognized by all sovereignties, no longer a temporary team. The meeting host was a staff officer from the command team, well-versed in various situations, clearly presenting the engagement details and battle evaluations.

Even as one of the participants in the operation, Chen Fei listened intently. Not coming from a military background or a military academy, he aimed to catch up in this essential area for future engagements with the Parasitic Species.

That's the primary reason he wanted to attend the meeting.

Especially when his giant battleship's fight on Emerald Star was critiqued from a professional perspective, he took detailed notes, finding it immensely beneficial.

Next time he encounters a similar battle, he should be better prepared.

After the staff officer's explanations, representatives from major sovereignties spoke one after another. The valuable content quickly diminished, leaving only emotional speeches, encouragement, and projections, though some promised to provide combat support and supplies. Smaller sovereignties followed, turning it into superficial talk with no serious financial support, merely verbal encouragement, making the meeting dull.

Seeing Chen Fei shaking his head, Miyoshi Monk shrugged, Meyoshi Xuesen had hit the mark; the essence was at the beginning, and the rest only needed to fast forward.

Adam: Northern Weapons Industry Group's "Canglong" project, engineer Nangong Ruiyang has submitted a call request.

"Nangong?"

Chen Fei was startled, knowing about the Northern Weapons Industry Group and the 'Canglong' project, but who was this engineer?
