Chapter 290: Chapter 117: Compensation for the 14th Legion

Bai Quan’s question did not surprise Chen Ming.

Since the day he took Cheng Xinghe away, Chen Ming had been thinking about when the Fourteenth Legion would come for him.

So Chen Ming had already thought about the attitude he should take to deal with this situation.

”I know what you’re trying to ask and whom you want to ask, but there’s one thing you must understand first.”

”Previously, the Star Zone Military of Galo-2 proactively attacked me and the fleet of Sinda Corporation, and for some reason, the commander in the Star Zone Military fleet was Cheng Xinghe.”

”The company may have already reconciled with your side, but for me, this matter has not been accounted for yet,”

Chen Ming’s words gradually intensified the atmosphere between him and Bai Quan.

And Bai Quan, appearing very rational and restrained, said, ”I do not deny this.”

”But just like we have already resolved the conflict with Sinda Corporation, I assure you that I can also provide you with a satisfactory and acceptable answer.”

”As long as Cheng Xinghe can return safely.”

For Chen Ming, capturing Cheng Xinghe’s escape pod had two main purposes.

One was Cheng Xinghe’s command ability, and the other was his intrinsic value, both in terms of manpower and identity.

The manpower value was negligible, but his identity value was not low, so Chen Ming felt he had to elaborate on this aspect.

Thus, Chen Ming followed Bai Quan’s lead and said, ”Cheng Xinghe’s safety can be fully guaranteed, Dusk is not interested in my spoils, so what then?”

The meaning of Chen Ming’s last sentence was clear: the Fourteenth Legion would have to pay some price to have Cheng Xinghe, who actively attacked him, return peacefully.

Otherwise, Chen Ming could just toss Cheng Xinghe’s escape pod aside, and the Fourteenth Legion could come find it.

”That’s for you to decide, Mr. Chen Ming.”

After receiving the reply, Bai Quan chose to kick the ball back, saying, ”After all, I’m not sure what you need.”

If the Fourteenth Legion were to bring up matters of compensation proactively, Chen Ming could set a high price until he was satisfied.

However, Chen Ming abandoned this idea because his fleet had already entered the Star System and was heading towards the final destination, leaving Chen Ming short on time.

Moreover, repeatedly haggling with the Fourteenth Legion, a prominent legion in the Empire, just to gain some paltry benefits might stiffen the relationship between them and Chen Ming.

That would definitely be a significant loss for him.

So after some consideration, Chen Ming decided to leverage Cheng Xinghe to get what he deserved from the Fourteenth Legion and perhaps even gain some additional benefits.

”I need to learn some ship combat and command technology.”

Bai Quan, slightly surprised, asked, ”Are you interested in this field?”

When discussing Chen Ming’s capabilities previously with the Vice Admiral, it was mentioned.

They indeed believed Chen Ming’s ability was somewhat suitable for commanding a fleet.

But an individual’s energy is limited; commanding and technical aspects are difficult to balance as they are almost entirely disassociated.

So at that time, it was considered that Chen Ming could focus on technology and cooperate with other professional commanders for better results.

But they did not expect Chen Ming actually wanted to juggle both.

However, other people’s thoughts couldn’t intervene, and just now, Bai Quan had proactively asked Chen Ming to state what he needed.

So Bai Quan did not refuse directly but said, ”This is not a problem for us.”

”We can provide all teaching from our military academy’s command expertise, including technical skills and professional abilities.”

”There will be professional instructors, whether retired or active military personnel, to teach.”

”We can offer one-on-one teaching sessions, and online sessions are also available.”

”But there’s one thing I must tell you in advance.”

”Our military academy requires a minimum of five years of training for officers.”

”If you have no foundation, it might take even longer.”

”Are you sure?”

Of course, Chen Ming knew that cultivating an officer would take a long time; he had thought about these issues before.

But he had also thought about other things.

For example, in the future, if he encounters a situation like Cheng Xinghe again?

And if at that time his abilities are insufficient or for some reason, his Spiritual Power is significantly depleted.

Without Spiritual Energy, and if there isn’t a strong enough commander to challenge, the outcome would probably be unfavorable.

Therefore, Chen Ming’s fleet must have a sufficiently capable commander, whether it be Chen Ming himself or any individual from Dusk.

Chen Ming considered he might not be suitable for command personally.

So the fact that online teaching was possible was favorable for him.

The instructor would never know if the person sitting across the screen was a human or something else.

Dusk AI, in many aspects, was similar to humans; they not only recorded data but also needed to learn, and maybe they could learn command techniques.

If this didn’t work, Chen Ming would consider other methods later.

So Chen Ming quickly answered, ”No problem.”

”However, Cheng Xinghe’s value shouldn’t be limited to just this, right?”

Bai Quan had no objections to this and said, ”That’s right, so we can offer all the rewards that an outstanding top student from our military academy should earn during their studies.”

”Including ships, simulation facilities, professional sparring partners, and some fragmented learning support.”
