Chapter 678: Chapter 321: Test Only_3
At the sa ti, the identity of the explorer can perfectly cover so of his "special operations," such as today’s successful deploynt of the stand-in puppet.
However, correspondingly, the risks will also increase significantly.
The mortality rate for Abyss exploration tasks, even in the most conservative statistics, is as high as 45%, and this does not include the probabilities of various disabilities and ntal trauma.
"Of course, I’m very interested in exploring the Abyss."
Ron cautiously responded after a brief thought:
"But this involves my overall research plan and risk assessnt, requiring comprehensive consideration of multiple factors before making a decision."
He paused for a mont and added:
"Could you give
a few weeks to consider? I need to understand the specific responsibilities and risk levels of a part-ti explorer in detail."
Wayne completely understood this rational attitude:
"Of course you can. Making such an important decision requires thorough consideration. I will prepare a detailed information package, including duty descriptions, risk assessnts, compensation structure, and relevant insurance clauses."
The collection team began packing up their equipnt, preparing to return to the observation station.
......
A discussion was taking place in the core monitoring center deep within the observation station.
This is the nerve center of the entire observation station, the room interior showcasing pure functionalist aesthetics: no unnecessary decorations, with walls covered in various sizes of display screens and complex monitoring equipnt.
At the center is a massive circular control console, with dozens of technical operators monitoring the situation in each area of the observation station in real-ti.
Carl, the Star Ring Level exploration team leader, sat on the highest level of the monitoring center, reviewing every detail of the recent "test" via holographic projection.
His appearance is a typical result of long-term Abyss erosion:
The left half of his body is completely chanized, with complex rune circuits covering the tallic skin, occasionally flickering with weak electrical light.
His right eye is replaced by a multifunctional artificial organ capable of infrared imaging, microscopic analysis, energy detection, and other functions.
"This kid’s perception ability is simply beyond theoretical limits,"
Carl praised while manipulating the holographic projection and shaking his head:
"The space camouflage technology of Chaotic Spirit Monsters can fool our most advanced sensor arrays, including the seventeen different detection modes of Watcher-7. But he was able to anticipate the threat fifteen seconds earlier, with accuracy that even exceeded our computational predictions."
He pulled up Ron’s detailed file, quickly browsing through the ability evaluation report:
"And those combat skill combinations... there is no ntion in the archives of his capability for precise throws and combined magic. The craftsmanship of those scattering bullets also reveals quite a high level of alchemical expertise."
Opposite Carl in the air, Professor Yutel’s void remains projection was gently swaying.
Silver light ripples like water waves, occasionally becoming brighter or darker due to emotional fluctuations.
"I’ve always said, this kid possesses an extrely rare trait,"
Yutel’s voice carried deep satisfaction and a hint of unconcealed pride:
"He has a perfect balance that I have seldom seen in my thousands of years of career.
Neither dazzled by power nor missed opportunities due to excessive caution. This quality is already as precious as a gem in today’s Wizard World."
The silhouette paused, voice becoming more profound:
"He can maintain calm rationality while showcasing astonishing combat intuition. This perfect blend of theory and practice makes
feel he might go even further than Cassandra..."
Carl outwardly nodded in agreent but internally held reservations about Yutel’s evaluation.
Although Ron’s performance was indeed impressive, comparing him to Cassandra Tower Master’s almost Legendary Level talent seed premature.
After all, even before becoming a Great Wizard, Cassandra had already created nurous miracles, and her achievents were top-tier throughout wizard history.
"However..."
Yutel’s tone suddenly beca serious, and the silhouette beca more solid and bright:
"The recent space fluctuations were indeed sowhat anomalous. I sensed so abnormal interference traces, a fluctuation pattern not independently generated by modulation organisms."
This made Carl imdiately alert.
As a Star Ring Level explorer, he had extensive practical experience with various anomalies in the Abyss. Sothing that could make a mystic scholar like Yutel feel "anomalous" was definitely not trivial.
"You an... there’s an external force secretly manipulating this test?"
Carl’s voice turned deep, and the multifunctional organ in his right eye began rapidly analyzing all the recorded data:
"If that’s true, our security asures might have serious loopholes.
Soone being able to intervene in the observation station’s internal operations without our knowledge is an extrely dangerous signal."
"Be vigilant."
Yutel’s silhouette beca sowhat vague, displaying an inner unrest and fear:
"Recently, I always feel sothing bad is about to happen.
The energy flow in the Abyss has beco increasingly unstable, with so ancient seals starting to show signs of loosening."
The old professor’s voice beca more solemn, as if delivering a fearful prophecy:
"Especially since the news of Cassandra’s imminent return spread, the activity frequency in the deep layers of the Abyss has noticeably increased.
The Supre Apostles seem to be secretly planning so major actions, with the balance of the entire Abyss becoming precarious."
This made the atmosphere of the entire monitoring center exceptionally grim.
Carl remained silent for quite so ti before finally nodding slowly:
"I will imdiately arrange a comprehensive security inspection, particularly strengthening monitoring of deep space.
If there truly is a covert force attempting to infiltrate the observation station, we must uncover it before they succeed."
He turned to the few technical directors on the control console:
"Imdiately initiate secondary alert status, conduct in-depth analysis of all today’s monitoring data.
Focus on any anomalous space fluctuation patterns, and simultaneously increase the patrol team’s frequency and coverage."
"Additionally," Carl added, "Closely watch Ron Ralph’s subsequent performance."
Though the conversation between the two high-level mbers of the observation station was obscure, they both clearly understood one fact:
The ergence of Ron seed to gradually beco a catalyst for major change.
