Chapter 299: Transaction, Invitation, Hu Yi
An Wuping's meeting with the president ended quickly.
The doubts about An Wuping's identity have basically passed, and it can be said that there is no problem.
After all, most of his actions have reasonable excuses.
Even if it sounds unreasonable or difficult to explain for the time being, it can probably be solved in the review of the Psychic Society later.
Although An Wuping's last few words are indeed crazy, there is no big problem.
An Wuping is the one who pressed down the biggest crisis in the Caimo incident.
This is the consensus of most people.
Even if someone opposes this, it is impossible to change this result.
After the communication with the president.
An Wuping followed Liang Fei out of the meeting room.
After the inspection of An Wuping, it should be the main show of inviting him to join the government department of the Odan Star Region.
Chen Ming felt that he could hint in advance to pave the way for the future so that things can develop more quickly and smoothly.
An Wuping suddenly said to Liang Fei: "What will you do after this matter is resolved?"
"What will I do?"
Liang Fei glanced at An Wuping next to him, and didn't quite understand what An Wuping meant.
He said: "I should go back to Odan. What else can I do? I should be able to take a vacation for ten days or half a month, and then continue my mission."
An Wuping nodded, and said with a hint of expectation in his tone: "I don't know if I can have such a life in the future."
Liang Fei turned his head completely around unexpectedly, but just as he was about to say something, the two of them had already arrived at the gate of their destination.
Pushing the door open.
Chen Ming saw a reception room that was simply decorated but not plain.
Compared to the previous meeting room, this was obviously a more relaxed environment.
A psychic from the psychic association came up to him.
It just so happened that Chen Ming knew this psychic, his name was Niu Xin.
He had been assisting the president in his work, and he was basically the president's agent in the affairs of the Caimo Star Region.
Niu Xin was in charge, so it was obviously a more private meeting.
After getting to know each other.
Niu Xin took An Wuping to sit on the sofa in the reception room.
Tea was already prepared on the coffee table in front of them, and the tea leaves were fairy leaves.
Using fairy leaves to entertain people, it can be seen that the attitude of the Psychic Society towards An Wuping is quite good.
Seeing that An Wuping still looked tense after sitting down and drinking tea, Niu Xin comforted him: "We are just chatting casually, don't be too restrained, everyone in our society trusts you very much."
"I can see that."
Chen Ming can see it, after all, he is not just An Wuping. The president did not express anything too obvious to An Wuping, but Chen Ming has always been friendly to An Wuping.
Seeing that An Wuping had no reaction, Niu Xin continued to say to An Wuping with concern: "You don't seem to be in a good mental state. Did you lose too much in the previous battle? Do you need to rest?"
"Not for now, let's get started. The sooner we start and the sooner we finish, the more time I can have to rest."
"Okay."
Niu Xin was naturally happy to see An Wuping's attitude.
He personally filled a new cup of tea for An Wuping, holding a terminal in his hand and asked: "Can you tell us where you were during the years you disappeared? What happened?"
"That's a long story, let's start with a bug egg."
"Bug egg?"
"That's right."
After saying that, Chen Ming began to make up a story quite smoothly.
Anyway, in the background of the fake identity he made before, the bankrupt security company did have a group of employees who went out and disappeared without any traceable clues.
And among the missing people, there happened to be the boss of the security company. His disappearance caused the entire security company to fall apart, and after a few years, there was no possibility of tracking at all.
So no matter how Chen Ming makes up the story, as long as it is logically acceptable, it will be fine.
Although there is absolutely no such person as An Wuping in that security company.
But as long as An Wuping does not go with the main force of this security company in his story, it will be fine.
Just make up a reason that An Wuping was separated from the main force due to an emergency and there was no contact between them.
Even if the actual situation of that company is really discovered, Chen Ming can have an excuse to explain.
So on this basis, Chen Ming also plans to include the Queen of Zerg.
This can explain An Wuping's psychic power, saying that he was stimulated by the Thorn Zerg and awakened his psychic power, so he can mutate into the Thorn Zerg.
There is another advantage to doing this.
That is, when the mechanical war begins in the future and the Empire discovers the planet near the mechanical star field that has been completely transformed into a hive by the Queen, it can divert the relationship between this planet and Chen Ming itself and focus more on An Wuping.
Help Chen Ming distract unnecessary attention.
Chen Ming can even selectively expose some of the Queen's abilities to raise the authenticity of his words to another level.
Let more people really believe that the story he made up is true.
That's it.
A security company organized a group to go to a planet outside the Empire for security work.
Then an important person in the company accidentally encountered the Zerg during a field work, causing the entire spacecraft to be destroyed.
The story of a psychic who was forced to land on a planet full of Thorn Zerg and struggled desperately to survive, and one of the team leaders awakened the psychic power of the mutant Thorn Zerg at the moment of death and barely survived was completely made up by Chen Ming.
After struggling on the Zerg planet for several years.
An Wuping finally escaped from the planet with the biological spaceship evolved by the Zerg.
Niu Xin was obviously surprised when he heard that the Zerg had evolved a biological spaceship, and confirmed with An Wuping several times that he was right.
Could this biological spaceship be false?
This is a good thing made by Chen Ming's mother, the Queen of Zerg.
It is also the first step for Chen Ming's spiritual power to extend from machinery to biology.
Niu Xin originally thought that An Wuping relied on a passing spaceship or other spaceships that crashed on the planet to repair and make a new spaceship to escape, but the result was very different from what he thought.
After all, the concept of biological spaceships was proposed a long time ago, but because of the difficulty of manufacturing and research, and the lack of decisive advantages over mechanized spaceships, no one has studied this thing.
I didn't expect that it could be made by the Thorn Zerg.
How did they do it?
Niu Xin asked half out of mission and half out of curiosity: "What is the specific appearance and structure of the biological spaceship? How did you escape using the biological spaceship?"
"I don't know much about the structure, and it's not too accurate to say that I used the biological spaceship, because I can't actually snatch the biological spaceship from the Zerg."
"I just said it."
"I can survive mainly because of the mutation effect of my psychic energy that makes the Zerg think that I am one of them, a worker."
"If a worker does something that harms the entire hive, then there is no point for this worker to continue to exist."
Niu Xin nodded in understanding and asked, "Then how did you get out?"
"I rely on my ability to enter hyperspace with my physical body and make a jump."
"What?"
Niu Xin made a sound that was more puzzled than hearing the biological spaceship in disbelief.
His body subconsciously leaned forward and moved closer to An Wuping. Liang Fei, who was standing next to him with his mouth slightly open and unable to close, also pricked up his ears.
An Wuping's words didn't seem to be a joke, and he shouldn't be a joke.
Because he was in the Caimo Star Region before.
Outside the galaxy where An Wuping's coordinates were announced by Zuo Jing, a spaceship recorded a video.
It was a video of An Wuping in a mutant state, his body traveling in hyperspace, destroying any spaceship that dared to attack him.
At the end of this video, An Wuping destroyed a spaceship, was shrouded in the flames of the spaceship explosion, and disappeared completely after the flames dissipated.
At that time, there were not many spaceships near An Wuping, so only a few spaceships recorded this video.
This resulted in an incomplete perspective of this video, and it was impossible to determine what happened after the last spaceship exploded.
An Wuping's inexplicable disappearance and his appearance in the Luxi galaxy a few minutes later made many people have many different speculations.
And now, the answer seems to have been spoken from the mouth of the real owner.
"So how did they do this?"
An Wuping saw Niu Xin's shock and curiosity, and he deliberately kept it a secret: "Do you know the abilities of the Thorn Zerg?"
"Yes, by eating the tissues of other species of organisms, the genes of the eaten organisms can be quickly transformed into their own abilities, and the genes of different organisms can be connected to each other to create more powerful abilities."
As someone who had been scheduled to contact An Wuping before, Niu Xin would of course learn some knowledge related to the Thorn Zerg, so he said this sentence very fluently.
"This is only part of their abilities, and I have seen more."
Niu Xin's curiosity has been completely aroused, and he can't wait to wait for An Wuping's follow-up.
And An Wuping slowly said word by word: "The Thorn Zerg can build a nest on a spaceship, and use their biomass to continuously erode, devour, and assimilate the spaceship."
"During the assimilation process, they can use their own flesh and blood organs and tissues to imitate or transform into the appearance of a certain part of the spacecraft, gradually replacing the entire spacecraft."
"Replacing steel with flesh, this is the origin of the Zerg biological spacecraft."
"The jump engine was of course also transformed."
"So I found a way to obtain some genes from the biological spacecraft, and created those special biological organs inside the biological spacecraft that should have belonged to the special equipment of the mechanical spacecraft, and implanted them into my body. I used the jump organ to leave the Zerg nest planet and return to the empire."
"This... can all be done?"
Niu Xin really found it a bit unbelievable.
The Thorn Zerg can actually use their flesh to transform a steel spacecraft and make the spacecraft their property.
And An Wuping can actually obtain the genes of the transformed biological spacecraft from the Thorn Zerg and install the transformed special organs in his body.
This is really a bit too unexpected, too shocking, and too hard to believe.
But only in this way can it explain how An Wuping disappeared from which galaxy and appeared in the Luxi galaxy.
At least this explanation is more reasonable than the fact that An Wuping is actually a psychic with spatial abilities.
Moreover, what An Wuping said really described quite a lot of details.
Unless all the details had been thought of and attached before, it would be impossible to have such a detailed description in a short period of time.
So there is a great probability that An Wuping really experienced these things.
The Thorn Zerg really transformed the spacecraft into a biological spacecraft through assimilation, and from the indigenous creatures that could only exist near the stars, it once again became a terrifying creature that threatens the empire.
As a creature that once had a large-scale conflict with the empire, the Thorn Zerg must be vigilant after it has the ability to threaten the existence of the empire again.
Niu Xin's idea is very clear, but it has nothing to do with his current task. He only needs to be responsible for recording what needs to be recorded.
Other things will be handled by others.
As for the relationship between An Wuping and the Zerg...
Niu Xin feels that it is not as simple as what An Wuping said, that the Zerg regards him as a worker insect and the relationship of non-interference is not as simple as that.
A person who can survive on a planet full of Zerg for several years,
A person who keeps an eye on Zuo Jing as soon as he comes back, and who can grow from an ordinary person a few years ago to a person who can kill a Zuo Jing psychic who even an ordinary Level 5 psychic has no stable confidence to solve.
Such a person, on a planet closely related to his own psychic effect, only obtained some genes of the biological spacecraft and evolved a biomass jump engine for escape?
He doesn't believe this, An Wuping is fully capable of obtaining more from the Zerg planet, and he must have obtained more.
It can be seen from the appearance of An Wuping after entering the mutant state.
He is different from most of the Thorn Zerg in the records, and he is going to be stronger.
Of course, this is the privacy of personal ability, and whether to say it or not does not affect the accuracy of other aspects.
No one will tell the pure truth in interpersonal communication.
This is the basis of their current conversation.
So it doesn't matter if An Wuping conceals some of his own psychic effects.
Anyway, the association will conduct a more detailed inspection of An Wuping later, so it doesn't matter if he talks about it casually now.
After satisfying his curiosity, Niu Xin also restrained some of his curiosity and turned to question the psychic effect that An Wuping mentioned.
"That is to say, if you want, you can jump directly to Caimo, there is no need to follow Zuo Jing, and there is no need to be so ostentatious in front, right?"
His initial ostentation was to attract the attention of others and confirm the identity background he had set not long ago.
He followed Zuo Jing to see what Zuo Jing wanted to do, and by the way, tried to get more information from Zuo Jing's inside, so that he could take action against Zuo Jing later.
It can't be said to be unnecessary.
So Chen Ming immediately denied: "That won't work. Jumping requires spatial coordinates. It's not easy to jump to a place I haven't been to. At least it has to be a star zone to infer the coordinates of other locations in the star zone. It won't work if it's too far away."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if it's a place I've been to."
"I understand."
Niu Xin continued to ask An Wuping a few trivial questions and ended the Q&A on the background story.
An Wuping's complete identity information has been recorded, and the process of the missing years has been filled in.
Niu Xin's next question changed to the situation after that.
That is, what happened during this period after An Wuping reappeared in the public eye.
Including the relationship between An Wuping and Zuo Jing, the process of defeating Zuo Jing and other questions.
Of course, Chen Ming also told all these contents truthfully.
He even added a lot of information related to Zuo Jing.
For example, during the process of Qianmian sending him all the way to Caimo Star Region, Chen Ming could remember all the places where he stopped and the spaceships he took.
He could tell everyone everything.
Later, An Wuping told him about the process of his battle with Zuojing's psychic, his understanding of Zuojing's psychic, and the situation of Zuojing's Qianmian and Zhen.
An Wuping could even draw Qianmian's original appearance with the help of an AI-assisted program.
Anyway, An Wuping said everything that should be said, and Chen Ming never mentioned anything that should not be said, and would not give people a chance to talk about it.
After finishing these things.
Niu Xin put down the terminal in his hand with satisfaction, and finally added tea to An Wuping and said, "Okay, that's about it."
He stood up and stretched out his hand to An Wuping to shake hands, as if the matter was over here.
But Chen Ming hadn't said he was having fun yet. He was so excited about telling stories that he even asked, "Do you want to check my physical condition?"
Niu Xin smiled at An Wuping in a friendly way and said, "That would be great if you want to, but there are not enough equipment on this spaceship. We have to go to the nearest base."
"You are not in a good condition now. Have a good rest and we will talk about it in two days."
"Okay."
Chen Ming agreed and shook hands with Niu Xin.
Then he followed Liang Fei out of the reception room.
But just as Chen Ming controlled An Wuping to walk out of the reception room.
He suddenly realized a serious problem.
That is, An Wuping's brain has no spiritual nerves.
Just like Chen Ming's prosthesis in the 14th Corps.
If this problem is found, it is probably not someone who will doubt whether he is a left-wing element, but someone who will doubt whether he is a human being.
But fortunately, Chen Ming quickly thought of a solution.
Because some time ago, Chen Ming and He Gu reached a deal.
Use a piece of pure psychic metal weighing more than one ton to exchange for two spiritual awakening nerves, a disposable device for detecting psychic effects, and three thousand contribution points.
If Chen Ming remembered correctly, He Gu would arrive tomorrow.
If the spiritual awakening nerve obtained from the transaction is implanted into An Wuping's brain, it should be able to temporarily replace him.
There is no need for the Queen of Insects to pinch a fake one without any experience.
Chen Ming felt relieved and continued to follow Liang Fei to the rest room arranged for An Wuping.
On the way, Liang Fei suddenly said: "An Wuping, you said before... you want to... live a better life?"
He mentioned the words that Chen Ming deliberately said before entering the reception room.
Then Chen Ming must cooperate.
"Yeah, you don't know how hard I was out there in those years."
"And after I returned to the Empire, I went straight to Zuo Jing's trouble, and I didn't have time to experience many things properly."
Liang Fei carefully confirmed: "What do you think?"
"Same as you, I'll take a rest after the matter is over, and then find a job."
"I'm a pauper now, my household registration has been cancelled, and my savings card and other things are gone. I can't always rely on robbing pirate spaceships and selling heads for bounties to make a living."
"Do you have any good jobs to recommend to me?"
Chen Ming's words were already clear.
Liang Fei of course also cooperated and said: "Yes, of course, we will talk about it later."
After telling Liang Fei about his ideas, Chen Ming continued to walk towards the rest room.
The rest rooms and various dormitories on the spaceship are generally arranged at the edge of the spaceship.
And Chen Ming also saw the porthole on the edge of the spaceship after passing through a corridor.
Outside is the deep starry sky.
When Chen Ming saw the starry sky, he suddenly noticed a problem.
The highest point he was on had left the edge of the Luxi Galaxy about an hour ago, but now, the spacecraft was still wandering on the edge of the Luxi Galaxy and had not moved away from the galaxy.
Chen Ming was puzzled.
Then, Chen Ming used his own psychic power to control the spacecraft and saw that on the other side of the spacecraft, there was also a shuttle landing there.
The first person to get off the spacecraft was Hu Yi.
An Wuping's fist clenched subconsciously.
Because stabbing Hu Yi was also what Chen Ming had always wanted to do.
There was no chance before, and Chen Ming had also told the boss that it would not affect what happened in the Caimo Star Region.
But since the Caimo matter was basically over, and Hu Yi just came up at this time, if An Wuping didn't stab Hu Yi, then Chen Ming would be sorry for his luck.
Of course, An Wuping didn't react on the surface at this time.
Still chatting with Liang Fei, pretending that nothing had happened, he arrived at the room arranged for him by the association.
The room was in good condition. As soon as Chen Ming entered the room, he could see some medicines arranged by the Psychic Society for An Wuping on the table.
Medicines to help restore mental strength, help meditation, or suppress violent disorder.
He really cared about An Wuping.
After arranging An Wuping, Liang Fei moved in next door, saying that he could go to him if he had any problems.
Chen Ming directly put forward his needs.
Just take a walk on the spaceship.
Liang Fei certainly had no objection, and after giving An Wuping a way to contact him or Niu Xin, he let An Wuping go.
After Chen Ming confirmed Hu Yi's location through his psychic power, he controlled An Wuping to take a step.
He wanted to find an opportunity to meet Hu Yi.
