Chapter 1137: Chapter 163 I Allow You to Hug Me with Ian’s Face (6000)_3

Anfa’s tone was confident. Clearly, the hosts from Canaan Moore, The Empire, and Azure Sky Royal Court had prepared all contingencies to ensure the smooth exploration. Even if the Fifth Energy Level (which is highly unlikely) were to occur, they could handle it and save most of the Exploration Team members.

If it were the Fourth Energy Level, even the strong from various countries joining forces would just get crushed on the spot. Even the Exotic Species Research Institute, a top-tier laboratory of the previous era, is unlikely to encounter a situation they can’t handle.

“Is that so? Then I’m relieved.”

On the surface, Ian smiled and nodded, but inwardly, he felt a bit uneasy.

Because he recalled the communicator given to him by Chairman Yafarda… Clearly, the chairman from Canaan Moore had other plans. He might understand more about the Exotic Species Research Institute than everyone else imagines, and the situations within the Institute are more complex than anyone envisions. With the presence of Echo and the Dark Gold Colossus Dragon, this exploration will definitely have major incidents.

But precisely because major incidents are bound to happen, Ian has the opportunity to take advantage and gain more… Therefore, Ian wouldn’t stop Chairman Yafarda’s plan and would even assist him.

After all, not just for the gains, but purely to have Chairman Yafarda permit him to take the ‘Heavenly Ladder Life Tree Fragment,’ Ian would cooperate with him. This is also why the chairman trusts Ian; he clearly understands how great this young man’s ambition and desire are, which is something that a straightforward researcher like Master Gravie cannot see, so they could reach an agreement with just a few words.

“That’s about it.”

Ian took a slight step back, distancing himself from the box in Anfa’s hand: “I suggest bringing it during exploration, as it might be the key to controlling the Calculation Chip when we find it.”

This was not baseless for Ian, but a fact. Just now, Ian had already replicated this part of the Calculation Chip’s structure using the Silver Chip. He could later study its details, deduce its main structure, then attempt to create an invasive program or even a Source Quality virus targeting the Calculation Chip.

Ultimately, it’s just programming akin to creating an Artificial Soul. The previous era’s civilization was only beginning in this area and might not necessarily be more intricate than the current technology of Terra.

By then, he would just need to embed the virus program into this fragment and send the fragment back to the main body to implant the virus into the main Core Chip most straightforwardly.

Of course, Ian had also considered the possibility that the main Origin Core Chip might grant him highest access upon seeing the Silver Chip… However, it’s always best to have a backup plan. As a Prophet, Ian is always cautious, leaving no flaws.

“Okay. Thank you very much, Ian, you’ve helped a lot again!”

Anfa earnestly nodded at Ian’s suggestion, then flashed a bright smile. With such critical information, the Ashlight Family would undoubtedly have the upper hand in this exploration.

What’s more, her teammate is Ian. As a Prophet, just by observing the chip fragment, Ian could gather so much information; who knows how much more he could acquire once inside the ruins?

Furthermore, Prophets can’t get trapped or ambushed, nor hindered by strange things, which is a huge advantage in ruins exploration. Those who’ve explored understand this.

Teaming up with such a teammate is comfortable no matter what.

After making several significant notes for Ian, a happy Anfa arranged accommodations for Ian and Sio in the main house, and in the absence of her mother, as the hostess of the Ashlight Family mansion, she prepared a lavish feast for the honored guests.

The young girl even invited Master Gossay and Yisen Gard over. Anfa knew these two were Ian’s friends and seniors and were also future allies at the Exotic Species Research Institute, so she invited them to celebrate together.

“The best cuisine in all of Canaan Moore? Dragon King…”

Sio was very excited about this and even started drooling at the thought of all the delicious dishes and desserts that might be served. For a dragon who hadn’t left South Ridge for many years and lacked worldliness, Anfa was truly the best friend, tempting her to pounce and hug the bewildered Elf Girl tightly, even lifting her and spinning around.

“No—hey—Sio!”

For Anfa, this was clearly a brand-new experience. Initially, being spun around joyfully with her waist hugged by Sio made her blush and feel somewhat embarrassed, but soon, through the Dragon Soul, sensing the girl’s genuine joy, she could only helplessly say, “Alright, alright, since you’re so happy, I will allow you to hug and spin me around… But remember! Only when I’m using my female form; not in male form!”

“Huh?”

The Red-haired Dragon Girl paused her spinning action, puzzled: “Why?”

“Because my male form still needs some dignity,” Anfa sternly instructed, “And you mustn’t use your male form to hug me either, unless it’s with Ian’s face. Your original male form used my face; it just feels too weird.”

“Alright, have it your way.”

Sio felt a bit restricted, but she respected her friend’s wishes, though she couldn’t help but complain, “You Canaan Moore people are so old-fashioned! We True Dragons never care about this!”
