Chapter 190: Testing Functions, New Arrangements for [Jackals]



Chapter 190: Testing Functions, New Arrangements for [Jackals]

[Detected Commander Subordinate Chip sending access request..... Request approved!]

[Member has accessed the Wolf Den·Commander System. You may now perform View, Call, Lock, Sync, and Connect operations on them.]

[Member has obtained Call, Transmit, and Request Connection permissions.]

[Member serial number generated——NO·1]

Yu Yuan looked at the lines of information appearing on the Virtual Light Screen and immediately performed a View on Carmen.

After a brief delay, information related to Carmen immediately appeared on the Virtual Light Screen.

[Member Serial Number: NO·1]

Physical Status: Good (Slight Malnutrition)

Mental Status: Good (Slight Shock, Excitement, Fear, Anxiety)

Talent Status: Insight (Easier to perceive things and people's hearts that others tend to overlook)Trust Index: 81 (Excellent)

Looking at the Trust Index appearing on the screen, Yu Yuan was also slightly surprised in his heart.

"The Trust Index is actually 81, so high!"

Yu Yuan originally thought Carmen's Trust Index reaching over 70 (Good) would already be quite good.

He never expected it to far exceed his predictions.

"This proves once again that I was being narrow-minded before! Carmen is a good comrade! And Carmen's talent is quite formidable!"

Thinking this in his heart, Yu Yuan still acknowledged his own judgment in reading people.

At the very least, he hadn't misjudged the person; Carmen was indeed reliable.

He was also glad he had always been relatively sincere to Carmen... yes, sincere!

Only, Comrade Carmen's mental state seemed a bit too... rich.

His gaze shifted to Carmen, only to see Carmen looking back with pupils trembling.

"That... that voice was..."

"That's the chip's voice. You need to get used to it as soon as possible!"

Carmen's successful access to the Commander System and his Trust Index far exceeding expectations made Yu Yuan's mood inexplicably better.

"Now let's test the effects of each function. Our communication will be faster and more convenient in the future..." The smile on Yu Yuan's face also slightly faded.

"Carmen, the challenges and combat we will face may far exceed the current level..."

"Are you prepared?"

Hearing this, the shock and excitement on Carmen's face receded slightly. Although these words weren't particularly solemn or dignified, Carmen knew this was an invitation and also an acknowledgment.

He let out a light laugh, then straightened his clothes, his expression turning serious and dignified.

He extended his right hand.

"Commander, I am honored!"

*Slap!*

Yu Yuan's palm firmly gripped Carmen's, and a smile spread across his face.

"Welcome aboard!"

At this moment, their tightly clasped hands seemed like a collision of fate, intertwining together.

It was like returning to that scene in the sewer during their first meeting; the bond of fate might have already created ripples back then.

Yu Yuan's heart was very calm, because Carmen had already proven himself in their previous several collaborations.

But Carmen's thoughts seemed to return to that half of a bloody fingerprint he saw on the manhole cover at the East District Waterworks Center.

Returned to that man in the sewer, cautious yet unrestrained.

And the warning sound he still remembered vividly to this day.

—[I told you not to try anything, but your feet still aren't behaving! I'll let it slide this time, but I hope you won't do such easily misunderstood things next time. Good luck, Enforcer Carmen, respect!]

That was also the beginning of everything!

Fate is just that miraculous!

Afterwards, the two of them tested the Call, Transmit, Sync, and Connect functions one by one.

Not only Carmen, but Yu Yuan was also very serious, because he wasn't entirely clear on the specific effects of these functions either.

Only, the effects turned out to be surprisingly good.

Through Carmen's description, Yu Yuan also learned what these functions looked like when triggered from Carmen's perspective.

Simply put, the [Commander Subordinate Chip] could be seen as a stripped-down version of the Virtual Light Screen.

A virtual interface, visible only to him, would appear on Carmen's retina.

It was similar to the interface when chatting on Green Bubble.

The [Call] function was to initiate a chat, allowing the sending of text or voice messages via thought. Actually, communication at this level could already be considered voice calls.

The [Transmit] function was to take a screenshot of the current field of view and send it, similar to picture transmission.

The [Request Connection] function was for when [Members] needed direct communication with each other; they would initiate a connection request to the Commander. The Commander would act as a relay station to establish a temporary Communication Passage.

The above were the permission functions for [Members].

On Yu Yuan's side, the [Lock] function immediately confirmed the current location, distance, and altitude of a [Member], which could be seen as GPS positioning.

The [Sync] function was much more impressive.

When Yu Yuan initiated a [Sync] request to Carmen and Carmen approved, Yu Yuan's consciousness would descend upon Carmen's body.

What Carmen saw, heard, and felt, Yu Yuan would also sense synchronously, as if two consciousnesses were sharing one body.

At this time, Yu Yuan could act as an observer, or he could control Carmen's body as if it were his own, speaking, walking, fighting.

Of course, Carmen, as the owner of the body, could terminate the [Sync] at any time and regain control of his own body.

And the Commander's [Connect] function could not only fulfill connection requests between [Members], but could also directly pull members together for a group chat.

The two of them tested all the functions once.

Yu Yuan was fine, but Carmen was like someone entering a new world; the admiration and astonishment on his face never stopped.

"This thing is really great!" Carmen said, handing the previous Walkie-Talkie over to Yu Yuan.

These past two days, although this Walkie-Talkie had helped him a lot, he was always on edge every time he used it.

Yu Yuan took the Walkie-Talkie and brought up the next matter.

"Do you still remember Alpha and the others from last time?"

"Them? That group who took away Loris?"

Of course Carmen remembered. He was quite confident in his own skills, but last time he had stumbled in their hands.

Naturally, it was fresh in his memory, and the combat proficiency they displayed was also quite terrifying.

"What about them? What do you need me to do?" At this point, Carmen thought of something.

"Do you mean... have them join the Black Shield Police Department with me?"

Yu Yuan nodded lightly. "Yes, it was also a spur-of-the-moment idea. Since your department has ample material reserves and you have recruitment authority, how can we not make good use of it?"

"What do you say?"

Carmen rubbed his chin, thought for a moment, and then agreed.

"This is easy to handle. I happen to need trustworthy people to help me!"

"Only... I remember there were two women, right? I don't recommend women joining. They easily attract attention from Commander Ika and others."

"As for the others, I can think of ways to help cover for them. How about that?"

Yu Yuan also realized he had overlooked the gender issue with Fang and Doctor.

Indeed, in the current environment, women themselves were conspicuous, let alone women like Fang who were full of strength and wildness, and the same applied to Doctor.

Entering the Black Shield Police Department would be no different from raising a torch in the dark.

"I see... Then find a way to arrange for the others. I'll take care of those two..."

"Dale will stay with you for a couple of days first. I'll take him away later."

Yu Yuan quickly made the decision.

Carmen nodded.

"Understood!"
