No. 174: The busy beginning (Silver Alliance bonus chapter 1/10)

【Expectation Confluence: At the time it was inconvenient to speak, but now I have the opportunity, I am still very happy that you can let go of past grievances and are willing to believe in Weishidaer's ability【smile】】

【Yuehuanshe: You flatter me; rather than saying you are willing to believe in her ability, I would say I can see that you have always been optimistic about her; in other words, I trust your judgment】

【Expectation Confluence: But you also gathered information on her, right? Just as Telexisi said, if this is a test, the work you entrusted to her is somewhat overly heavy】

【Yuehuanshe: Indeed, I have looked over her records.】

That commendable destructive power is also part of the basis for trust, but those records are also all from half a year ago.

Half a year—think about how much can happen in half a year; without your attitude, I would still maintain a skeptical attitude toward her.

【Expectation Confluence: Attitude……suddenly bore such a weight【worry】】

【Yuehuanshe: It won't be too heavy【smile】】

Regarding others' retreats, I will not only arrange a single plan that hides hidden dangers】

【Expectation Confluence: Then can I tell that child?】

【Yuehuanshe: Then can I thank you for your help back then? It's really a good eye】

【Expectation Confluence: What are you saying? I don't understand oh【tongue out】】

【Yuehuanshe: Indeed, that's then a trivial matter【tongue out】】

【Expectation Confluence: ……Mr. Aomo, you are rather too fond of stealing people's emoticon packs】

【Yuehuanshe: No, just copying on the spot, not collecting; meanwhile, your emoticon packs surprised me a bit】

【Expectation Confluence: Uh, surprising? 【surprise】】

【Yuehuanshe: It's not really a bad thing】

I just feel that perhaps this young lady should be more steady and mature, rather than such emotive expressions as sticking out her tongue or being surprised.

However, such an online contrast is fine as long as it doesn't appear in serious work chat rooms, just like the always-poker-faced Meipubofang under Aomo.

Offline, her expression is even more blank than Bitelexiya's; online, her emoticon pack collection is more varied than anyone's, but she at least didn't stuff the dragon diagrams that Xi and Suzi often send into it, so this too counts as a cute contrast.

By comparison, Miss Telexiya clearly gives a more ideal impression, but before this, Aomo would more often make her act foolish, laughing and crying helplessly.

Clearly showing a recommendation tendency is her; at the right moment she puts on a look of worry and hesitation to make Weshidaer waver, and giving herself a chance to reverse her image is also her, but few people can notice this subtle maneuver, especially when they already hold preconceived notions, so even Miss Weshidaer failed to notice.

Perhaps her subconscious rejected the possibility of being indirectly sold, and she firmly believed that the Highness who once most resisted schemes and plots could not have such petty thoughts.

But in Aomo's view, the subjective intention presented by all these details is clearly visible.

It is almost to the extent that he needs to consider that 'if he ignores it, perhaps it will lower the other party's psychological expectation'.

So he did not ignore it, but rather facilitated this cooperation smoothly, and also left in Weshidaer's mind an image of using both soft and hard means to achieve his goal.

But actually……

He doesn't really care about W; reaching this point is merely completing the test that Terexia threw out.

Interpersonal relations is a discipline; some find it simple, others find it complex. Aomo undoubtedly follows the latter's effect, engaging in mutual investment with Telexiya—the latter gives him this opportunity, this opportunity will lay the groundwork for future cooperation, and by seizing the opportunity itself he also expects the resources that the power level she represents can feed back.

But this does not mean that Weshidaer is an unrelated unlucky person.

After all, as Aomo said, Telexiya thinks very highly of her.

This time is not only an opportunity for Aomo to perform, but also an opportunity to pave the way for Weshidaer to exert herself externally.

Actually, from her expertise in blasting techniques, it's not hard to see that Miss Dabuliu has many stages for her professional display, but she simply does not do so in the base.

But she is always following beside Telexiya.

Even when Xiao Te classmate was running around for academic exchanges earlier, W was indeed performing security work, but due to the lack of any attack incident, in the eyes of Teacher Da Te it only meant pulling blood pressure.

Although the parties involved mostly don't care, Aomo deeply understands Miss Telexiya's painstaking efforts of being both mother and sister.

Even feeling that Shu should come learn this subtlety.

Clearly Eastern culture most emphasizes this theory, but Miss Shu's attitude in the family is called being frank and outspoken, straight to the point, which bears a few points of the boldness of Miss Lingyu nian.

But obviously, if Aomo were to say that, it would show he doesn't understand subtlety.

Besides that, he must also bear the consequences of not understanding.

One can only say that in Eastern culture, subtlety is directly linked to feigning foolishness, and Aomo's cultural flexibility always lets him seamlessly fit into the required interval.

So he quickly ended his communication with Telexiya, then turned to unveil the progress reports from both the Feather Snake and the Gui She.

As for the retreat routes prepared for both sides only today……such a conclusion plan that easily affects work enthusiasm is not suitable to be revealed in the early stage of work.

Especially when the results in the early stage of work are uneven.

Miss Huoerhaiya's side has already listed a PDF document, while the Gui She side still consists of fragmented pure news reports, appearing to be doing errand tasks for Luzhas, awaiting a superior's summons.

Really need to speed up, huh?

Even the Gui She guy himself thinks that way; the end of the message always asks when to let him act, and at first glance one might think he is eager to fight to the death with aliens.

Actually?

Actually, he is asking about the time and location for controlling monsters to destroy the city.

This involves the offhand mention of a self-sacrificial plan that Aomo initially made when deciding to let Gui She infiltrate Luzhas.

To speed up the process of Gui She being valued by Luzhas, let him summon and control monsters to wreak destruction, then be harshly suppressed by Aomo and Sai Luo—at that point, the situation of Gui She being defeated by Ultraman will likely evoke feelings among many aliens of Luzhas; as long as some determination and strength are proven, the process of gaining trust can generally be sped up.

The self-sacrificial plan is an unavoidable part of espionage work, especially for Gui She, whose identity is transparent in intelligence; to gain trust he must show some ruthlessness.

But Aomo also clearly realizes that reality is not as ideal as a tokusatsu drama.

Ordinary self-sacrificial plans cannot achieve trust, while overly ruthless ones test the participants' resolve—does Gui She have such resolve?

If it were Aomo, this would be his own decision; he could carry it out himself, but for Gui She it's just a job.

Gui She doesn't care about the safety of horse girls, nor the state of the horse racing world, nor about Ultraman besides Jie De and Sai Luo; at first glance one could use that to write an article, but since you don't even know their ultimate goal, how could you justify deceiving the other side by saying Sai Luo and company are dangerous, this is serious—how could you have him make some sacrifices?

Never mind whether moral standards pass; even if he truly disregards morality, Aomo would still find it hard to fabricate, in a lack of information, an alternative big lie that could long deceive people.

So after this, he never brought it up again; instead, he sought other information and devised a milder plan to have Gui She be found by Luzhas's people.

But obviously, given Gui She's infiltration ability, the result of gentle inclusion is progress at a snail's pace, snail-paced to the point that even he himself is dissatisfied and brings up the self-sacrificial plan.

Since you brought it up yourself, then I won't be polite——

——Such a decision, even a demon couldn't make it.

Plans involving personal safety must always be thoroughly considered, just as although he greatly trusts Telexiya's eyesight, also looked over Weishdaier's combat data, he would still prepare a backup.

As long as there are uncertain factors, one cannot and should not stake one's life on it, especially the lives of subordinates.

But perhaps, the scrapped plan is not impossible to launch…… Seeing the other party bring it up again after a few days, Aomo realized in an instant that he shouldn't be as stiff and slow as Miss Weishdaier.

There's really no need to quarrel over whether the bitter-meat scheme is cruel; after all, no one has ever limited the bitter-meat scheme to being usable only once, right?

If quality is lacking, quantity can totally make up for it.

When Gui She's 'conspiracy' has been thwarted time and again, to the point that hearing it brings sorrow and listening brings tears, how many people would care that he actually hasn't suffered a serious bodily injury?
