Chapter 677 turned out to be a required exam question.
Marshal Shi paused for a moment, then remembered what Jiang Ci had said.
One is the code for the self-testing terminal, and the other is the code that can block real-time monitoring and positioning signals.
He did have it checked after receiving it, and the code was fine, but even so, he didn't dare to install it on his terminal.
After all, his terminal contains a lot of confidential information, and if it were leaked, even he would be in big trouble.
Another reason is that not all of his technical staff believe the self-checking code provided by Jiang Ci, so they are working hard to develop new code programs.
He figured that nothing had happened after so much time had passed, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference, and he put the code aside.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Jiang Ci knew that he hadn't installed those two codes on his terminal.
Jiang Ci nodded without speaking, but he confirmed his guess.
The fact that this wormhole appeared at the Second Legion's base suggests there's a 98% chance the coordinates were leaked by Marshal Shi and his team's terminals.
The wormhole near the Seventh Legion's base should be where Sun Yuxin, an S-class Purifier, was located.
This undoubtedly provides further strong evidence for his hypothesis that "wormholes are artificially manipulated."
"Aci, don't change the subject. We're talking about Bai Mianmian's identity now," Marshal Shi said in a deep voice, his brows furrowed.
Jiang Ci, who was about to continue processing the documents, paused upon hearing this, looked up at Marshal Shi, and finally his gaze lingered on the wrist of the man wearing the terminal. He said, "I can't let Mianmian be in danger."
"You..." Marshal Shi didn't notice his gaze for a moment, and was so angry that he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
During that brief pause, he noticed that Jiang Ci's gaze was fixed on the terminal on his wrist.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and Marshal Shi instantly realized that Jiang Ci was worried about the possible eavesdropping device in his terminal.
"Then I'll put it into the spatial button. Can you talk now?" Marshal Shi said, reaching for the terminal on his wrist.
"No!" Jiang Ci immediately spoke up to stop him.
Marshal Shi suddenly paused, a hint of displeasure flashing through his mind. He looked up at Jiang Ci, convinced that Jiang Ci was going to refuse to reveal anything about Bai Mianmian.
"Uncle Shi," Jiang Ci said with a hint of helplessness, "Didn't you see the private message I sent you?"
Marshal Shi paused, his brows furrowing slightly. Recalling the encrypted message Jiang Ci had sent him earlier, it seemed there was indeed such a message.
You can't put the terminal in the space button because the signal will be blocked, and there's a possibility that someone will discover that the terminal is faulty.
"I'll have Lieutenant Chen come and take it away." Marshal Shi stared intently at Jiang Ci, and seeing that he didn't object, he summoned Lieutenant Chen over on the terminal.
While waiting for Deputy Officer Chen, the office fell into silence.
Shi Sijin glanced at Jiang Ci, who was already working on documents with his head down, and then at Marshal Shi, who had his brows slightly furrowed as if he were thinking about something. She then turned around and plopped down on the sofa next to her.
Although his commotion was small, it still caught Marshal Shi's attention, and he immediately cast an unpleasant glance at him.
Just as Shi Sijin was about to adopt a relaxed, reclining posture, she immediately sat up straight, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at him.
Marshal Shi: "..."
As the three people in the office were waiting for Deputy Officer Chen, Bai Mianmian at home suddenly stopped swiping her fingertips across the terminal screen.
It turns out that the land bombed by mechs and warships cannot allow seeds to germinate in the short term, and this is a required question for students.
Then she...
Bai Mianmian's eyes flickered slightly as her gaze fell on the post-invasion report about the D7 Star Moth Insectoid invasion on the terminal screen. She couldn't help but recall the question she had asked in the Second Legion's command room…
Well, okay, she spilled the beans.
However, it's not a big problem.
Since her ability level increased, she hasn't really hidden what she can and can't do. Jiang Ci didn't react particularly to this, and the people from the Second Legion remained friendly towards her, so be it.
Anyway, if things really go wrong, with her abilities, getting away wouldn't be difficult.
Putting the matter out of her mind, Bai Mianmian turned to find the Xiaozhi robot; she figured it would be better to prepare more cooked food.
Jiang Ci's office.
The three were greeted not only by Deputy Officer Chen, but also by Zhuo Juntao.
Jiang Ci took his terminal off and threw it to Zhuo Juntao, saying, "Go outside and wait for me for ten minutes."
Zhuo Juntao caught the terminal steadily, nodded to Jiang Ci, and replied, "Yes!" before turning and leaving.
Marshal Shi then handed his terminal to his adjutant, Chen.
Seeing that one by one they had given away their terminals, Shi Sijin couldn't help but think to himself: Why didn't anyone tell him to find someone to help him get his terminal?
Didn't we both have that blocking code installed on our terminals? Why do we need to move the terminals further away?
Jiang Ci is being a little too cautious.
"Uncle Chen, could you please take mine too?" Despite her inner grumbling, Shi Sijin quickly took down her terminal and handed it to Deputy Officer Chen.
"Okay." Lieutenant Chen nodded in response, holding two terminals in his hands.
"By the way, don't put it in the spatial button, okay?" Shi Sijin instructed.
Deputy Commander Chen glanced at Marshal Shi, and seeing him nod, he nodded back to Shi Sijin and replied, "Okay."
After Zhuo Juntao and his adjutant Chen left, the office door closed automatically.
The two stood facing each other outside the door for a moment, then exchanged polite smiles before looking away.
Inside the office.
Marshal Shi looked at Jiang Ci, who was still busy processing documents, and asked, "Can you speak now?"
Jiang Ci stopped what she was doing, looked up at him, and said, "Actually, I don't know what kind of identity Mianmian has."
"..." Marshal Shi looked at him with suspicion.
He didn't know her identity? Then how could he dare to keep her by his side, and even give her such great authority in the Second Legion? He must be lying.
Shi Sijin looked at Jiang Ci with disbelief; he found it hard to believe that he would hear such words from Jiang Ci's mouth.
"She didn't want to talk about it, so I didn't ask," Jiang Ci explained his actions.
But at this moment, both Marshal Shi and Shi Sijin looked at him with a hint of doubt: "Is he really Jiang Ci?"
Based on their understanding of Jiang Ci, how could he possibly allow someone of unknown identity to stay by his side, especially as his partner?
“Mianmian said she can sell you all those recipes, as well as beverage and snack recipes. She can sell you anything you want,” Jiang Ci smoothly changed the subject.
Shi Sijin's eyes lit up immediately, and she followed up by asking, "Can I buy it on credit?"
Although it's not that he can't afford to give that much, he would still feel the pinch if he had to give out so much at once.
Jiang Ci: "..."
Although he cooperated very well, I didn't really want to respond to him.
"..." Marshal Shi looked at Shi Sijin with a disappointed expression.
How come I never knew this brat liked to eat so much?!
