Chapter 277: 139 The Road to Becoming Stronger in Pest Control
Yang Ming slept until it was completely dark.
After the Mother Worm died, he was exceptionally exhausted, and during the process of falling asleep, fragments of insect memories flashed through his mind from time to time.
It was as if he had become the Mother Worm that was killed.
It was unclear whether to say this Mother Worm was smart or foolish. Staying underground, Yang Ming would have had no way to deal with it, but it insisted on recklessly charging into space, providing conditions convenient for Yang Ming to approach.
– Even if it could communicate with humans, it would not trust them.
By the time Yang Ming opened his eyes, sixteen hours of Galaxy Time had passed.
The Feinan was situated in an undeveloped, uninhabited Star Domain, parked on a rocky planet closest to the Constant Star of the current Constant Star System, slowly replenishing its energy.
Yang Ming took a shower, and as he emerged from the bathroom, a robot was already quietly waiting, holding a set of dry and comfortable loungewear.
“Boss, you finally woke up,” Lyu’s voice came from outside the door.
This was completely unnecessary.
She was clearly also controlling this robot.
Yang Ming dressed leisurely, “Report the information.”
“Okay, boss,” Lyu cleared her throat and reported according to the priority of the matters Yang Ming was concerned about.
First was naturally the whereabouts of the Valkyrie.
Regarding Valkyrie, there was one good and one bad piece of news.
The bad news was that Lyu had purchased a small mining exploration company within the Sherman Empire and bought several mining ships to search for the whereabouts of the Valkyrie but had yet to find a trace of the weakened Valkyrie.
Attempting to locate an abandoned cave on a rocky planet, even with a powerful ship-borne computer and planetary scanning system, was very difficult.
“We actually discovered a rare rich vein! Boss, it’s as if you have a lucky charm! We’ve broken even! Just one more rich vein, and we’ll make a huge profit!”
Yang Ming could only shake his head at this.
This Lyu had now even begun to secretly control a medium-sized country, yet still had such a deep obsession with money.
He walked down the corridor of the Feinan with his hands behind his back, outside the window was the burning red dwarf star and the ‘smooth’ terrain of the rocky planet.
Lyu continued reporting various news.
The disturbances appeared on Ram Star, with no news whatsoever released. The New Federation demonstrated their strong control over domestic opinion.
The equipment Yang Ming installed on Ram Star had gradually begun sending back some information.
Within hours of the event outbreak, hundreds of transport ships had landed and taken off from Ram Star, seemingly relocating the base of Professor Pat and his team.
“The New Federation has other backup hatching bases?”
“Boss, that Mother Worm was induced to produce many queen eggs, and it’s not difficult for them to create several additional base backups.”
Yang Ming frowned, “Then won’t the intelligence we gathered be wasted?”
“It won’t be wasted, just not as effective,” Lyu laughed, “I’ve already edited and integrated the video of the Insect Race escaping from Ram Star into our intelligence package. If disclosed to the public, it would put public opinion pressure on the New Federation.”
Yang Ming said, “We’re not trying to pressure them but to directly place them under Sherman’s gunfire.”
“The Mother Worm’s escape from Ram Star did indeed affect our plan to some extent, Boss.”
“Alright then,” Yang Ming clicked his tongue, “Continue with your mining company, expand it as you make money. As long as we discover an insect egg within the Sherman Empire, this piece of intelligence could realize its highest value.”
“Should we disclose it now?” Lyu gently asked.
Yang Ming laughed, “A punch can only hurt them if it’s charged up first… how is Miss Hera’s recovery?”
“She’s better now, it was just a piercing wound paired with excessive blood loss, her stem cells have been activated.”
“That’s good,” Yang Ming said, “This is part of the intelligence as well. Let her remain in a state of rest. I don’t want her to know about the existence of the Feinan.”
“I understand, Boss.”
Lyu thought for a moment and still decided to inform Yang Ming:
“You’ve unlocked a new achievement!”
Yang Ming walked to the combat training chamber and, upon seeing the 026 evading left and right in the zero-gravity chamber, his mood improved significantly.
This little girl was quite diligent.
So, it seemed there was no need to boost her motivation through salary raises for now.
“Ta-da!” Lyu extended her hands up and down, pretending to rapidly sway a flower garland, and a wanted notice appeared before Yang Ming instantly.
His disguised face was on the wanted notice.
Yali, his alias, had become a wanted criminal in the New Federation, charged with espionage and treason.
Lyu laughed, “You’ve become the only individual with all three identities wanted by the New Federation! This is insanely cool!”
Yang Ming scoffed and turned his head toward the bridge.
“Begin the physical examination, I need to understand what’s going on with my body.”
“Yes, Boss! I’ll change and be right there!”
Change? Changing into what.
Being a virtual image, what’s there to change? Modeling, copying, pasting, isn’t that enough?
Yang Ming lay by the apparatus and waited for a few minutes, and Lyu’s virtual image reappeared, dressed in a somewhat inappropriate nurse outfit.
–A proper nurse’s outfit would certainly not include white stockings with pink ribbons.
“Inject the Genetic Stabilization Liquid first, I don’t want to turn into a fleshy monster.”
Yang Ming extended his arm, and a robot advanced forward to operate.
After undergoing various physical tests, Yang Ming was surprised to find:
His body structure had undergone some changes!
All along, Yang Ming’s body was the human ‘basic template,’ albeit with some minor aberrations in all of the cells.
