Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

As Helen watched Bai E leave the room, she didn\'t immediately set off. The pressing matters of the military base might not be so urgent for her; organizing her own thoughts was more important.

"Was he just... controlled by my Spiritual Energy?"

It seemed like it from his behavior, but the expected feedback wasn\'t quite there... a strange feeling.

Especially since the other party had a precedent for resisting the suppression of Spiritual Energy, she had thought this attempt wouldn\'t be so easy... but to her surprise, it succeeded.

This success seemed all the more suspicious.

But on second thought, this was a private setting, not like the battlefield with its spirit of resolute and fervent will.

The other party hadn\'t received orders to fight like on the battlefield, and his commanding officer\'s orders were probably to cooperate with her research, so being controlled by her Spiritual Energy seemed natural.

She had only instinctively sensed an inkling of dissonance.

If this soldier\'s behavior was as it appeared on the surface, then it was flawlessly perfect, even a miracle of genetic expression; but if it was all an act... Helen suddenly felt a chill.

Or... should she test him again next time?

After sitting quietly for a while, pondering the data she had just received and all the doubts about testing 95B27, Helen finally rose silently.

The officer waiting outside the door did not rush her.

"Lead the way."

"Yes, ma\'am!"

...

"Is it necessary to convene a council meeting just for a synthetic warrior? If there\'s a controversy, why not just disqualify him? With so many soldiers in the barracks, can\'t we manage without one?"

Hamilton scanned Carlos across from him, his tone mocking, "But someone disagrees..."

Hamilton had no personal opinion regarding those synthetic soldiers created as cannon fodder.

Even in his view, the performance of that 95B27 was top-notch; if all the synthetic warriors in the barracks could achieve that level, he would be pleased.

But if they wanted to climb the ranks?

Sorry... synthetic beings should not have such presumptuous ambitions. Sovereignty of the world should always belong to natural-born humans!

Carlos stood tall, full of vigor, "Since we are selecting elites, we should treat everyone fairly. His performance should be judged on objective facts, not on subjective decisions based on personal experience."

"Pfft," scoffed Hamilton with disdain, "That sounds nice, but isn\'t it just for that little bit of military merit after the success of the military operation?"

Everyone knew what Carlos was thinking.

He wanted to use the repeated outstanding performance of his synthetic warriors to force them to sign the application for Gene Optimization Solution by throwing it in their face.

No matter how biased they were against synthetic soldiers, they could not deny the clear facts of combat achievements and would have to begrudgingly accept them.

That was the fairness Carlos sought to achieve.

To make such a fuss over a synthetic soldier, the guy must be crazy...

"Helen is here."

The guard whispered a reminder, and footfalls marked by a tight rhythm entered the conference room.

As Helen stepped in, she exhibited no intention of sitting and delaying, standing at the doorway her gaze swept around the room before locking onto Weslin to ask, "What did you want to see me for?"

Weslin smiled somewhat ingratiatingly, "You see, we\'ve heard that you\'ve been conducting some secret research with an artificial human soldier these past few days. Our instructors are a bit puzzled by the performance of that artificial human soldier. As it concerns the performance assessment of every soldier, we need to ensure the utmost fairness.

If it\'s convenient, I hope you can reveal a bit about the situation."

"Assessment?" Helen\'s brow furrowed slightly as she considered this a good thing.

Regardless of whether Bai E\'s inner self matched his outward appearance, based on facts as they presently stood, he deserved the treatment he was due in the barracks.

Then, she might as well give him a little push...

With that thought, Helen immediately nodded and replied, "Yes, he is indeed helping me with research on physical training programs. The advanced physical training method improved upon by Bai...95B27\'s instincts, I believe, has the potential to be extended to all soldiers, which could allow each soldier\'s physical attributes to improve more rapidly.

Moreover, this training method remains effective even for genetically enhanced soldiers with physical attributes above 15 points, solving our previous issue where higher attributes could only be raised slowly through actual combat. We\'re still experimenting with the specific plan, and more detailed information cannot be disclosed at this time."

"Advanced physical training?"

"Plan improvement?"

"Instincts?"

These unfamiliar terms somewhat jammed the brains of the officers present.

They thought the main point of the meeting was to witness the verbal clashes between the two political factions led by Hamilton and Carlos, yet they did not expect to hear even more explosive news.

This was something that could enhance the strength of all soldiers, an absolutely tremendous boon for their military faction.

Weslin\'s eyes lit up immediately, "How confident are you about this plan?"

Helen was exceedingly cautious, "I can\'t make any promises for now."

"Alright," Weslin nodded, "then thank you for your cooperation, Academician Helen."

Helen\'s voice was cool, "If there\'s nothing else, I\'ll be leaving now. There\'s a lot of experimental data to process."

"No, no more questions... no more questions..."

As Helen turned to leave, Weslin suddenly recalled something and hastily called out to retain her, "Oh, Academician Helen, there\'s one more thing I wanted to ask."

"Speak."

"Last time you said that once you\'ve finished investigating 95B27\'s battlefield performance, you could announce the incident where he saved many soldiers on the battlefield..."

Helen\'s eyes flicked sideways in hesitation before she responded, "It can be announced now..."

After Helen departed, a sense of triumph filled Carlos\'s face.

Complete victory.

"The facts are clear, Soldier 95B27\'s capabilities far surpass everyone else, and his physical rating should be ranked first!"

"Hmph!" Hamilton snorted coldly, turned his face away, crossed his arms, and remained silent.

Weslin clapped his hands, "Let\'s consider this matter settled, and continue with the subsequent selection process. Additionally, Logistics Department Head, please arrange a grand evening celebration for the soldiers tonight."

The recent battle failure had somewhat dampened the morale of the soldiers; the death of two to three thousand men in the past few days had filled the barracks with an air of mournful despondency.

He urgently needed a case to boost morale, and the example of 95B27 undoubtedly stood out most prominently in this campaign.

It had been suppressed by Helen before and couldn\'t be made public, but now that she had allowed it, it was certainly time to make some noise!
