Chapter 232: Glory of the Machine
"Oh, I almost thought I would never come back."
026 let out a melodious groan, opened his arms and fell backwards, landing hard on the soft big bed, the fabric of his shirt rippling like water waves.
Lu's projection appeared at the side and said with a smile : "Everything is under Lu's control."
026 rolled his eyes.
If she hadn't run fast that night, she would have almost been unable to reach the edge of the crowd. If the other party had tried to kill the White Ghost, she would have died gloriously for her boss.
"Oh, right," 026 turned around and asked , "I set off the smoke screen and ran away for the boss. Where did the boss go?"
"The studio building."
"Is the boss back in the studio again?"
"Yes, the boss disguised himself as a production manager and stayed there for more than ten hours," Lu said with a sigh, "The most dangerous place is the safest place."
"I still don't understand," 026 supported himself on the bed and sat up, "Did the boss go through so much trouble just for this live broadcast?"
"otherwise?"
Lu became life- size and sat on the edge of the bed with a smile on his face.
"The Emperor has begun to pay attention to White Ghost. This is the most favorable news we have received so far. The military has expressed its positive stance, and the voices of the Council of Elders calling for sanctions against White Ghost have become smaller. Boss, you can now officially cooperate with the Empire.
"Isn't this the purpose of our coming to the Imperial Star Circle?"
"Ah, this."
026 was a little confused, and muttered again: "Is Gris one of ours?"
"He is half of ours. He has a certain tacit understanding with the boss," Lu sighed softly. "The boss took advantage of Gris's respect for the White Ghost. The boss noticed that Gris had noticed Hui Saka's identity problem. When he saw the Black Ghost plan given by Gris, the boss came up with this plan."
"Then Hui Saka's status as a famous speaker would be wasted."
"Waste? Not a waste."
Lu clicked on a projection screen, and inside was a warehouse that was enclosed on all sides. Yang Ming, wearing a blue work suit, was welding a robot together with several robots.
Yang Ming maintained the original appearance of Hanton;
The face of the bionic robot is Hui Saka.
A series of question marks appeared on 026's forehead.
"Hasn't this identity been exposed?"
"Yes," Lu smiled, "So Hui Saka will continue to be active as a white ghost substitute. The official knows it, but the people don't. This is the beginning of the boss's gradual cooperation with the empire. How could the boss appear directly in the empire's military camp? He must use a substitute robot."
026 opened his mouth and his face was full of confusion.
"Don't worry, the riskiest part is over."
Lu patted 026's chest and said, "The boss wants you to have a good rest for a few days. This suite is prepared for you. Except that you can't order a male technician, you can enjoy everything else as you like! When you have rested, go meet up with the boss."
026 muttered quietly: "I still don't understand... Did the boss use Bray to control Gris? Why would Gris help us?"
"From what I've observed, the boss seriously considered letting Bligh take control of Gris, but ultimately decided not to pursue the plan."
Lu said slowly:
"It is now certain that Gris has two purposes. The first is to help the White Ghost make its voice heard and facilitate its cooperation with the authorities. The second is to complete its own mission and capture the White Ghost.
“This is somewhat contradictory, so Gris is also very conflicted.
“The boss finally decided to take a gamble, betting that Grace would help White Ghost complete the live broadcast.
"Someone must help clear the obstacles on the Empire's side and bring the real military generals and government ministers to the White Ghost. Gris's entrapment plan perfectly achieved this.
"Gris wove a big net, and he tried his best to keep the white ghost, but in the end he came up empty-handed."
026 asked: "How is Gris now?"
"He has been suspended and will have to go through several rounds of questioning later," Lu sighed. "To the boss, Gris's value has been exhausted. Next, the boss will not contact Gris directly, but will go to the commander of the Super Modifier, the middle-aged woman."
026 pursed his lips and said, "If it has no value, the boss won't value it, right?"
"No," Lu smiled with narrowed eyes, "Only when you are no longer useful can you become the boss's friend. The boss just asked Bray to find Gris, which is a disguised way of telling Gris that some of the super-changers are White Ghost's men, so he doesn't need to worry too much about the future."
"All right."
026 opened his arms and lay back down.
"Let me just sit there for a while. I'll go back to help the boss after I get some sleep."
"Go to sleep, go to sleep, I'll help you watch the door... Tsk tsk tsk, you've developed a good figure recently, girl."
"Tsk, a mere mechanical thinking body that is not even worthy of a bionic entity, and yet you dare to tease the master pilot!"
"Damn it! I'll order a female robot later!"
"Hehehe, I want the boss's mold. It's just right for warming our beds!"
The two of them were fighting on the bed.
If Yang Ming saw this scene, I wonder how interesting Boss Yang’s expression would be.
…
Three days later.
"Brain processor self-check completed, connection channel established."
"The zero-point energy battery self-test is complete, the energy channel is unblocked, and the backup energy is ready."
"Scan completed, consciousness can be sent, consciousness sent completed."
On the Dongfeng, accompanied by Lu's voice, Yang Ming, lying in the captain's chair, slowly closed his eyes, and the indicator light on his helmet flashed continuously and then returned to stability.
In a hotel suite on the distant planet Yaha, Yang Ming opened his eyes, and a series of data appeared in his pupils before quickly returning to normal.
He stood up, his movements a little stiff.
"Turn on motion optimization," Yang Ming murmured in a low voice, and his movements immediately became very smooth.
I walked around the bed for a while, gradually getting used to the feedback from this mechanical body.
This was his most valuable inventory, a combat machine that embodied several of Dark Star's cutting-edge technologies and the New Federation's most advanced bionic technologies.
Different from the bionic robots commonly used by politicians, this bionic machine allows Yang Ming to attach his own consciousness to it, thereby reducing the signal delay between the body and the machine, thus achieving true bionic simulation.
Yang Ming's experience with it...
The experience of playing "Abyss" back then is back.
"Ritsu, are all the battle robots so weak?"
"Well," the projection of the law appeared on the robot's shoulder, "your body is too strong, so it feels that this body is too weak. In fact, this is already the level of an ordinary modified warrior fully armed, loaded with the equivalent of a 100-meter gunboat's full energy."
Yang Ming clicked his tongue: "Mechanical Ascension... Mimi Li will probably be very happy to see me like this."
"I'm happy too," Ritsu pushed up his non-existent glasses, "Shall we proceed as planned?"
"conduct."
Yang Ming moved his wrists and ankles, walked to the closet and selected a high-end dress, and put on his clothes and shoes smoothly, showing that he was very familiar with this body.
After opening the bedroom door, 026, who had been waiting for a long time, brought Hui Saka's watch and network access terminal.
As soon as Yang Ming opened the terminal, he received a series of messages.
They were all sent by Catherine, and the content was very simple. On average, one message from "scammer" was sent every half hour.
After thinking about it, Yang Ming turned on the projection screen and sent a message to Catherine.
【Hui (well-known anchor): No, how can I be called a liar? I concealed nothing but my identity.】
The message showed as read, but Catherine sent a message a few minutes later.
【Catherine (Captain): Where are you? I'm not the one asking.】
【Hui (famous anchor): The vast starry sky, flying freely. Please help me make an appointment with your boss, I want to talk to her about something, or in the restaurant where we eat. I am now using a bionic robot. 】
[Catherine (Captain): Is this why you came to me? ]
【Hui ( famous anchor): No, I saw more than 120 scam messages from you, which made me feel the need to solemnly declare to you. I am the White Ghost, and I am laying my cards on the table.】
[Catherine (Captain): Get out of here, you liar! I'll give you the contact information, go contact them yourself!]
She actually sent the contact information of her immediate boss.
Yang Ming smiled and thought for a moment. Before contacting the middle-aged woman, he first sent a call request to Lieutenant General Thomas.
The Super Reformers obey the Council of Elders, and Yang Ming just wants to maintain a good relationship with them.
The military is the umbrella that Yang Ming has identified as his.
A few hours later, in the busy restaurant.
When Yang Ming sat down to eat, there were many customers taking photos next to him, and some were eager to come forward to ask for the famous speaker's autograph.
But while Yang Ming was having two drinks, some plainclothes officers with hurried looks appeared in the restaurant, persuaded customers to leave one by one, and paid the bills for them one by one.
Soon, the restaurant was empty.
Amid the sound of high heels hitting the floor, the middle-aged lady appeared with more than a dozen fully armed super-modifiers.
The lady had obviously dressed up, changing into a professional suit and adding some makeup to her face.
Yang Ming stood up and saluted like a gentleman. Without waiting for the lady to say anything, the little finger of his right hand left his palm, with a light blue halo at the end, and finally returned to the gap in his palm.
The other party laughed and said, "The famous White Ghost has also started using a stand-in robot."
Yang Ming said slowly: "I have always been aware that the reason why I can have such influence today is not because of my individual combat power, but because of the technological strength I master."
"Let me introduce myself to you formally," the middle-aged lady extended her right hand. "Reva Figueroa, director of the Relations and Coordination Department of the Transformers Center."
"Director Riva," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Hanton, the White Ghost."
Riva Figueroa sat opposite Yang Ming. The dozen or so super-modifiers stopped a few meters away, looking at Yang Ming carefully.
"What did you ask me to talk about?"
"Many things," Yang Ming said sincerely, "I think it's time for me to return to the empire's battle sequence. From what I understand, you and the military are not in the same system."
Reva Figueroa smiled and said, "You want to join the Super Reformers? That sounds very interesting. I'm sure the higher-ups will be very interested as well."
Yang Ming suddenly asked: "Is there anyone who still advocates slicing me up?"
"Of course not. Your live broadcast was very successful this time."
Reva Figueroa said softly:
“I don’t know whether you planned this or just went with the flow, but now the top brass of the empire already know you.
"You are smart and know when to drop the veil of secrecy and express your loyalty to the Empire.
“I can tell you frankly that the respected Emperor praised you as a good young man, and several princes and dukes all think that you are an officer who has suffered a lot of grievances and is loyal to the empire.
"So now you can come out openly and accept our reorganization. You will be treated better than ordinary super reformers, and your power will be used for justice."
Yang Ming smiled and said, "I never believe these nice words. The big shots are too busy and will soon forget about me."
Director Riva raised his eyebrows slightly: "Let's talk, what do you want?"
Yang Ming said solemnly: "I will use my mechanical bionic body to join you, accumulate merits, and exchange for a protection order signed by the Council of Elders."
"Use a mechanical bionic body?" Riva frowned and asked, "What combat power does your body have?"
"I feel that my communication value is greater than my combat value."
Director Riva fell silent.
Yang Ming said slowly: "In fact, I have already talked to the military, and several lieutenant generals have expressed goodwill to me."
"I heard about it."
Director Riva skillfully took out an e-cigarette. No one knew what was inside it, but it gave off a faint fragrance when burning.
"Why did you choose the Super Reformer?"
"I want to stay in the Imperial Star Circle," Yang Ming said with a smile, "Joining the Super Reformers is not my way back, it's just one of my paths."
Director Riva nodded and said, "I must remind you that no modified person can hold a government position or become a senior military officer. Gris is the best proof of this. He is excellent and has excellent leadership skills, but he can only be a captain, even if he is temporarily given extremely high authority."
"I know," Yang Ming nodded, "You don't need to worry about this, I know what's going on."
"Oh well."
Director Riva exhaled a puff of smoke.
“In half a month, I will arrange an assessment for you. If you can pass the assessment successfully, I will accept you as a member of the organization.
"I must remind you that if you come here in your true form, there will be no problem. The Super Reformer Assessment tests your strength."
After saying this, Director Riva stood up and extended his right hand.
Yang Ming smiled and shook hands with her gently.
"Let's go," Director Riva called out, and people from all over the restaurant quickly retreated.
She also paid the bills for Yang Ming, which Yang Ming didn't expect.
"Boss, is what she said true?"
Lu asked somewhat worriedly.
Yang Ming's consciousness is now in the mechanical body, so he can have secret conversations directly.
"Which one?"
"The Emperor of the Empire praised you as a good young man."
"I heard similar things from General Thomas."
"Uh, wanna go do combat training?"
"Don't worry, they will definitely give more weight to this assessment. I'm a hot commodity now."
Yang Ming smiled calmly:
"Help me contact the TV station so we can earn some money."
"Okay boss."
…
The passenger spaceport at the Yahastar 1 planet ring.
Grace, who had shaved his beard, put his arm around the slender waist of the beautiful woman next to him, and the two were bidding farewell to each other reluctantly.
Grace opened a bottle of drink, poured it into his mouth and rinsed his mouth, preparing to give a romantic kiss goodbye to mark the end of this flash romance.
There was a billboard floating overhead with some exaggerated artistic words flashing, and Grace took a closer look.
[Live now: Legendary host Hui Saka is about to start his first show after the White Ghost incident! ]
"puff!"
Grace turned his head and sprayed out a cloud of water. The beautiful woman next to him immediately screamed and jumped to the side in her high heels.
"What are you doing honey!"
Grace stared at the billboard for a few seconds, then raised his hand to his forehead.
Although these had nothing to do with him anymore, Gris still felt as if he had been completely used by this guy.
"Sorry, oh sorry honey, let me wipe it for you!"
Ding ding!
Grace's watch vibrated slightly and a text message popped up on it.
Transfer income was 30 million Imperial Coins.
Thirty, thirty million?
What the hell is this? The source of the transfer is Chuanlin Yuanhang Trade? No, when did I have this account? This account seems to be a secret account, uh, opened overseas?
Gris opened his mouth and another message popped up.
【Welcome to join the White Ghost Fan Club. Honorable Vice President, I will give you a full set of genuine figurines, plus White Ghost's autograph. Please check the funds for the fan club activities, you can use them at will.】
Framed!
This is a blatant frame-up!
Is there anyone who can take care of this white ghost?
Gris quickly began to report to his superiors that this matter had nothing to do with him and that he and the White Ghost were really not in the same group!
