After being fed to top-tier orcs, I became the darling of the entire intergalactic world.

Chapter 272 Nick, a Master of Winning Hearts

Despite the dragon and snake dances and other such proposals, Liang He ultimately declined.

This disappointed Cher, who was eavesdropping, but even if Elius were to perform, he wouldn't be able to see it.

After all, cameras are too easy to spot. Elius and Liang He are, in name, honored guests. If the surveillance cameras are discovered, the cooperation will be difficult to discuss.

"I never expected that Elius would be so indulgent towards Liang He."

After listening to Cher's report, Nick, sitting on the office sofa, chuckled and took a sip of his drink, looking pleased.

This Liang He is truly a rare talent.

Not only can she approach the level of evolved orcs and communicate with animals without any problems, but now even the leader of the space pirates listens to her so much that he can't bear to kill her.

"Ace, is he dead?"

Upon hearing Ace's name, Cher glanced back at the door, then bowed respectfully and reported to Nick.

"Lick is waiting outside the door. Does the commander want to hear his report on the specific situation?"

Rick is probably the person who knows the most about what happened on Skalan. Cher was only there to meet him and doesn't actually know much.

Rick had done a good job on this mission, and Commander Nick had personally promised to reward him for his merits, so naturally he would not refuse to meet with Rick.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

When Rick first stepped into this office, he was undeniably excited.

He started as a low-ranking member of the rebel army, but later, because of his skill in disguise and imitation, he was selected as an infiltrator and carefully trained.

To better conceal his identity, the rebels allowed him to live a normal life as an ordinary person until Liang He appeared, at which point he began planning to replace Yuan Like's existence.

"Commander!"

Rick bowed to Nick with excitement, his joy evident in his expression.

Cher, standing to the side, frowned slightly, worried that the boy might get too excited and accidentally anger Commander Nick.

"Commander, Rick has always regarded you as an idol. He might be too excited, so..."

Cherle tried to explain for Rick, but Commander Nick waved his hand dismissively.

"It's alright, they're young, I understand."

When dealing with useful subordinates, Nick behaved more like an approachable leader, showing no concern for Rick's rudeness.

He smiled and looked at Rick.

"You've accomplished a task that no one else could. What reward do you want?"

Within the rebel army, there is a system of rewards and punishments, which serves as a form of incentive. Clear distinctions between rewards and punishments make it easier to manage subordinates.

Rick was extremely loyal; he not only helped him bring Liang He back, but he even brought Elius back to headquarters as well, which was a great achievement.

"Commander, this is what I should do!"

If Rick were to make his own demands, he wouldn't know how to gauge the appropriate level of authority. It would be better to leave the decision-making power to Commander Nick, and he would simply have to follow orders.

Nick raised an eyebrow at his answer, not minding his little trick.

He likes intelligent people, enjoys talking to intelligent people, and even more so, he likes intelligent people working under him.

"Alright! In that case, starting today, you will be the deputy head of the Dark Division, in charge of undercover missions and training infiltrators."

Since Rick has talent in this area, Nick should naturally put him in the right position and make the most of his strengths.

Nick did a pretty good job in recognizing and assigning tasks to people.

"Thank you, Commander!"

After hearing Commander Nick's arrangements, Rick was visibly even more excited. He had thought it would at most be a minor promotion and a small bonus, but to his surprise, Commander Nick was putting him in direct command of the Dark Division, making him its deputy minister!

"By the way, I remember you didn't have a name before."

Rebels are generally people who have abandoned their past, and unless they hold a position, they are usually referred to by their numbers.

Of course, there are also those who are appreciated by their superiors and given new names.

"Yes, Rick is the one I'm replacing this time."

To avoid being exposed, Rick took quite a while to get used to the name.

"You've already exposed your identity to the Federation Army, so you shouldn't use the name Rick anymore."

Not only that, everything he used to impersonate Rick is no longer usable, including the face he used to impersonate Rick through special makeup techniques.

"understand!"

"Well, you're already the deputy head of the Dark Division. The Dark Division operates in the shadows, and even our own people can't know each other's true appearance and name. You can choose a code name as your title."

Under the code name, no one knows their true identity or appearance. Only in this way can they ensure that they will not be betrayed by their own people during the infiltration process.

Constantly changing one's appearance can help one better hide, complete more tasks, and avoid becoming a disposable undercover agent.

"Please bestow a name upon us, Commander!"

Rick didn't care about his name; he was more interested in making a name for himself through the rebels.

A name or a code name are both the same. Why not let Commander Nick give you a name? It'll be much more prestigious if people talk about it!
"Haha, you little rascal, you're really cunning."

Rick's little scheme was obvious, which made Commander Nick laugh heartily, finding him quite amusing.

Cher, standing to the side, curled her lips in exasperation at his shameless flattery, unable to bear watching it.

It turns out he was worrying for nothing.

"Alright, then I'll give you a code name!"

Unaware that Rick had already been promoted, Liang He flushed the toilet paper covered in writing down the body to cover up the crime.

Then, without any mercy, he sent Elius back to his room. After washing up, he lay in bed and began to worry about the furry creatures.

She acted impulsively without informing the furry creatures, and it would be bad if they became too worried about her and did something rash.

I wonder if Langton understood what I meant?

When Liang He discovered Rick's submarine in the strange sea area, she made up her mind not to let Azure Falcon follow.

The main problem is that Landon couldn't go to sea with him.

So before she sent Langton back, she made a point of saying something.

"I'll come back to you as soon as I've finished dealing with things here."

The main point was to tell Landon and the others not to worry about her and to just wait for her to come home.

I wonder how Cedrill and Landon are doing, whether Brother Huo brought Lyra and the others back safely, and whether those mermaids can really protect Chairman Lucas and the others?

Filled with questions and worries, Liang He now had no access to the personal terminal and no way to contact them, so she could only take it one step at a time.

Fortunately, Elius was with her, so she wasn't too lonely.

Tomorrow, Commander Nick said he would personally host them, so it's likely to be another tough battle.

Based on what I learned from Elius, and combined with these recent contacts with the rebels, this dark wizard is clearly very crucial.

Liang He still remembers the grudges of the furry creatures.

The black wizard cruelly turned animals that could have lived carefree lives into relentless killing machines. Such a person should not have lived.

"I wonder if I'll be able to meet the legendary dark wizard tomorrow. I'm really curious."
