Chapter 571: A Reminder
In the process of growing up and through the trials of time, Luo Wen had come to understand one truth: the fastest way to solve a problem is to eliminate the person causing it.
Now, Luo Wen had mastered this principle as skillfully as he could transform intelligent entities.
After Conradus became “one of them,” the difficulty of this war game dropped from hard mode to normal mode. The lack of surprise, astonishment, or shock on the faces of the Confederation commanders made Luo Wen feel somewhat bored.
Since that was the case, Luo Wen decided to end this war quickly.
“Sir, the energy level of the Swarm’s megastructure has suddenly spiked!” a crew member in the command room suddenly shouted. Just moments ago, the instruments he was responsible for had started blaring alarms, the red warning lights nearly blinding him. This indicated the presence of an energy source in the vicinity that posed a significant threat to the flagship.
“What’s going on?” Conradus, however, didn’t seem nervous. This wasn’t because he had become “one of them.” Even though he had been transformed into an intelligent entity, he still had to operate within the Confederation, so he couldn’t act too out of character.
Moreover, the Rashudia race had requested assistance from the Ji race’s artificial intelligence for this expedition. This AI might casually collect some data, and if any anomalies were detected, it wouldn’t be good.
Therefore, to play his role convincingly, Conradus didn’t go easy on the Swarm during battles. Every decision he made was one he would have made under normal circumstances.
The flagship’s alarm wasn’t wrong, but its perspective was a bit narrow. It didn’t take into account the surrounding environment. That energy source was indeed a threat to the flagship alone, but harming the flagship amidst a fleet of several billion ships was a different matter.
