Bryant raised his hand to rub his forehead.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the sixth time the captain and the boss chatted...within the last hour.

...

"Boss, the Supermodified Organization sent over the assessment items. It seems like they aren’t holding back."

"Hmm? Let me see."

Inside the East Wind, Yang Ming, who was chatting with Catherine on the sofa, flipped over and sat up, and several projection screens popped up in front of him.

When he put on his helmet, his consciousness was parked at Hui Saka’s, which was like clocking in for work. When Hui Saka returned to his residence, Yang Ming took off his helmet as if clocking out.

Yang Ming meticulously examined the assessment process, his smile becoming a bit stiff.

He chuckled awkwardly, "Well then, is this a subtle way of rejecting my joining the Supermodified? In that case, I might as well head to the Heavenly Fury Fortress to earn some military achievements, just in time to join Griss."

"Uh, Boss," Lyu whispered, "there’s another line of notes below. The scores for this assessment will be comprehensively scored by the jury, meaning they’re all subjective factors, with a lot of flexibility."

"Then why do they make it so complicated?"

"Isn’t it possible," Lyu laughed, "that the Elder Court wants to save face, creating an image that the White Ghost is desperately trying to join the Supermodified, so they’re reluctantly accepting the White Ghost?"

"Damn, are they trying to toy with me like a monkey?"

Yang Ming rubbed his brow, beginning to think about his strategy.

The assessment was divided into three parts:

Basic capability tests, practical combat ability testing, and complex environment multi-member cooperation.

If Yang Ming used a mechanical body for this assessment, the entire testing process would employ live ammunition.

"They still want you, Boss, to show up in person."

"That poses too much risk for me," Yang Ming said, "If I get caught directly, wouldn’t all my efforts be in vain, achieving nothing. Once everyone gets familiar and trust is established, and the necessary assurances are in place, I’ll naturally show up on my own."

Lyu felt a headache coming on, "Then, for now, we can only enhance Hui Saka’s combat abilities, but modifying Hui Saka will also take some time, and we can only complete part of the enhancements from now until the assessment day."

"Prioritize enhancing mobility," instructed Yang Ming, "Firepower can be boosted through external attachments; mobility is the key."

"Alright, boss, I’ll arrange it right away."

"Any issues with the channels?"

"No problems," Lyu raised a fist beside her cheek, with a thumb popping up, "We are now the largest arms smugglers on Yaha Star, and this bionic robot Hui Saka is a super-sized contraband itself!"

Yang Ming:...

Indeed, the Mechanical Thought Body was rampant in the cyber world.

To enhance ’Hui Saka’s’ combat power, improving both hardware and software was necessary.

Since the battle machine was controlled by a method of consciousness parking, Yang Ming’s personal control skills were also crucial.

To become proficient in operation would require time to train.

With over a week remaining until the assessment, Yang Ming also started his grueling special training, improving his mental synchronization rate, adapting to the mechanical body’s movement characteristics, and skillfully operating all equipped weapons...

Without a training ground, he accessed through the backdoor with Catherine’s help into the Supermodified training center.

Without mature modification data, Lyu utilized backdoor methods to obtain some confidential information from the New Federation CIA and the Empire’s arms conglomerate.

Finally, the White Ghost’s assessment day arrived as scheduled.

Over a hundred off-duty Supermodified people, departed from various Administrative Stars in the Emperor Star Circle, and gathered on Yaha Star for on-site observation.

Catherine and Bryant were also temporarily summoned back to the Yaha Star’s Supermodified base, becoming the main examiners responsible for grading.

The assessment time was set at ten in the morning; the two-hour assessment would end without delaying the regular lunch at the training center.

The Supermodified training center was located in Yaha Star’s military exclusion zone, surrounded by three military academies, six military-related research institutes, and Yaha Star’s last line of defense—the planetary near-earth defense system command center. Not far off was the station of the Yaha Star’s standing guard legion.

There were a total of twelve large bases of the Supermodified Organization in the Emperor Star Circle, with Yaha Star’s base ranking in the top three in scale.

At nine fifteen in the morning, two military hovercars led the way in front as a long, luxury hovercar followed behind, arriving at the training center’s second main training ground.

The two alloy gates, more than ten meters high, slowly opened, revealing the expansive space of over sixty thousand square meters of the main training ground in front of Yang Ming.

As the hovercar entered through the gates, it drew the attention from all directions.

On-site, there were hundreds of spectators, including arriving Supermodified, ordinary Transformed, training center staff, and military officers wearing uniforms of middle and old age.

The hovercar drove two hundred meters, stopping in front of a hovering stand.

On the stand, a jury of twelve elite Supermodified simultaneously stood up; Catherine and Bryant were among them.

Click.

The rear car door slowly opened, the jury held their breath, and the audience on the nearby stands focused intently.

A sneaker extended from the car door, followed by neatly pressed dress trousers.

He appeared as if stepping out from a television program, the dark gray suit without a single wrinkle, his commanding stature embodied male strength, and his face bore a calm smile.

The legendary White Ghost made an official appearance in the image of ’Hui Saka’!

This scene was perfectly recorded by the hovering camera ball in mid-air, simultaneously transmitted to the eyes of some dignitaries and senior generals.

— Both the military and the Elder Court were very concerned with this assessment.

"Captain Hanton."

Director Riva’s voice sounded, two projection balls floated over, light interwoven to form the serious face of this middle-aged woman who seemed to have some endocrine imbalance.

"You’re sure you want to undertake this assessment in a mechanical body, correct?"

Yang Ming put his hands behind his back, standing slightly apart, using the Empire’s standard military posture.

"Yes! Thank you all for understanding!"

"Very well," Director Riva said, "if this assessment fails, you’ll lose the opportunity to join the Supermodified, of course, if your true self arrives, there will be a chance for a retake; we all know how powerful your true self is."

Yang Ming said, "This so-called power, in comparison to the Empire’s invincible fleet, is utterly insignificant!"

"Then why not show up directly?"

"I cannot yet forgive Professor Kigrov’s irresponsible, temporary modification experiments on duty officers on the research ship! I cannot let go of the fact that the Empire, which I love, left me in Cole Port Prison to face the killings of the New Federation Intelligence Department, for those unimportant non-core research personnel!"

Yang Ming’s gaze became much sharper:

"I am willing to devote all my strength to pursuing the glory of the Emperor Star!

"But I am unwilling! To be captured by those boastful research teams, used as specimens for their funding applications!

"I will prove my loyalty and love for the Empire with my actions, exchanging the merits I accumulate for the protective order signed by the Imperial Elder Council!

"When all conditions mature, I will also present the ancient technologies I possess to the Empire!"

Director Riva nodded, "I wish you success in your assessment, Hui Saka."

"Thank you, Director!"

Yang Ming saluted with a wave, the scene turning solemn and oppressive.

Bryant stepped forward, softly saying, "The first item of assessment, basic capability, you need to complete all...performance testing on this list."

Yang Ming nodded, and the front stand moved to the sides, revealing the testing ground behind.

The modular field quickly adjusted. Yang Ming took off his suit jacket, weak light circles appeared on the soles of his feet and palms, suspending his body in mid-air, floating forward.

Before entering the field, Yang Ming glanced back at Catherine.

Her Golden Mask had become a fragment again, but today the mask was made into a face mask, revealing her bright eyes with light makeup.

Yang Ming gently blinked.

Catherine calmly ticked a few checks on the score sheet, giving him an advance passing evaluation.

"Captain, you’re too obvious," Bryant murmured softly, "There are still sixteen tests, one tick for each passed item. Rest assured, these few beside me are all acquaintances, they will score how I score, we definitely have to keep the White Ghost, at least nominally."

Catherine nodded slightly.

She loathed all forms of formalism and deceit.

However, today was an exception.
