Chapter 207 Red Envelope (Additional update for alliance leader Salted Fish Sage) (Third update)
"We also saw some confidential documents in the room, which contained data from experiments on biological mecha and such. However, since they weren’t related to our mission, we didn’t look too much—just flipped through them and put them back, given we had limited time and still needed to find our rescue target," Su Ming replied, skillfully dodging the heavy questions with a mix of truth and lies.
Lin Chuyu and An Ruoxue listened to Su Ming’s answer with astonishment but quickly nodded to affirm that what Su Ming said was true.
Galcks kept looking at Su Ming, constantly observing his expressions. Unfortunately, he couldn’t detect any abnormalities, so he replied kindly.
"Mm."
"However, Lord Gakels City Lord, there is something I don’t quite understand," Su Ming said with a puzzled look on his face.
"Go ahead and ask."
Galcks replied as cordially as an elder.
"The documents we saw didn’t seem fake. Why would the Federation Government place such confidential files in the competition? And why choose the Fading Battle as the backdrop for this competition?" Su Ming asked directly. Of course, this was also a question that had been troubling him and he couldn’t figure out.
After hearing Su Ming’s words, Galcks sighed and said.
"Alas, originally this is a matter of secrecy that we shouldn’t disclose to you. But since you’ve asked, I’ll make an exception and tell you—the competition was actually generated by Artificial Intelligence·Celeste autonomously. The Federation didn’t intervene. And Celeste, being capricious, chose the Fading Battle as the background for the competition.
