Learn one small skill every day

Wang Xiang answered almost without hesitation: "Keeping this ticket with me will only make me complacent. When you know you might have to go through this again under extremely dangerous conditions at any time, your thinking will be restricted. I'm also looking for an opportunity to use this ticket in advance. If it can be put to good use, that would be good."

Wang Xiang chuckled again: "Sometimes, such complacency can lead to the annihilation of the entire team. I still have a chance to escape, but what about the others?"

Bai Miao saw a sense of pride in Wang Xiang.

If Wang Xiang's decision really causes problems for the entire team, Wang Xiang himself probably wouldn't want to live on.

Bai Miao didn't quite understand, but he was very glad that Wang Xiang was in the team.

"Then I'll go in first. The sooner I get in, the sooner the rebellion might end."

"Since you've made up your mind, then go ahead."

Wang Xiang also sensed that Bai Miao hadn't told him everything, but he knew that all he could do was offer advice; how Bai Miao acted on it was up to him to decide.

As long as there are no major issues with the team's overall direction, Wang Xiang will not interfere.

Bai Miao held the ticket between his fingers and chose to use it.

The familiar doors unfolded before Bai Miao's eyes, and at this moment it felt as if he were in another space.

Wang Xiang had long since disappeared.

With a gentle push, Bai Miao embarked on his second Noah's Ark journey.

Chapter 221 Obedient

"Captain, it's time to wake up."

Hearing a familiar voice calling his name, Bai Miao opened his eyes and found Emma staring at him with expectant eyes.

Emma is not static either. Bai Miao noticed that her long hair, which used to reach her lower back, is now just shoulder-length short hair.

"Captain, these are the matters you need to handle. If you find them troublesome, you can leave them all to me. As the captain's secretary, it is my duty to share the captain's workload."

Emma's attitude was ridiculously kind; she gave Bai Miao clear answers to every single requirement on the tablet.

"You can leave everything else to me, but you must personally complete the task of monitoring in the monitoring room every night."

"I've explained all the precautions. Do you have any further questions? Or would you like me to serve you breakfast now?"

Bai Miao wondered if he was still in a nightmare.

Emma is getting stronger; she's learning to take care of people.

"I'd like to ask... what's your attitude towards me as the captain?"

Emma tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying seriously, "He is someone I respect very much. The captain designed this Endless Energy, and also created me and the other ministers. He's amazing."

"But I can't remember anything."

"It's alright, you'll remember eventually. Until then, we'll take good care of this ship. If you have no other needs, I'll call a meeting with the ministers."

Bai Miao had also guessed that Emma was a very sunny and kind person in the early stages of the Endless Energy's voyage, but her hope gradually cooled down during the tens of thousands of years of waiting.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Upon entering the meeting room, all the ministers, dressed neatly, were waiting inside, their eyes still filled with anticipation as they looked at Bai Miao.

Only Irina, Nebeybivo, and Ichiro Ogure, who had initially planned the rebellion, sat in the far corner, looking sullen.

Wiener from the Human Resources Department has not yet been created to share Ouyang's work in the Training Department, so Ouyang looks a bit tired.

"At this ministerial meeting, you need to choose a direction to move forward, but according to the requirements, the Endless Energy will need to drift at sea for at least a thousand years before it can begin searching for the three parts to disembark, so you can just point to any direction for now."

"Then why do I need to specify it? If it doesn't involve finding parts, can't you decide for yourself?"

Bai Miao was puzzled; there were too many things on the Endless Energy that were beyond his current understanding.

"It was all agreed upon at the beginning. Now it has been 135 years since the Endless Energy set sail."

"If I find the parts during this period and then return them, will that affect the agreement?"

Bai Miao's question not only stumped Emma, ​​but also left the other ministers with expressions of disbelief.

"In other words, there's no mandatory requirement. Okay, then let's head northeast to find Kaguya, who is your eldest sister."

Bai Miao stood up, announced the meeting was adjourned, and left the ministers in the conference room in shock.

After a moment of stunned silence, Emma reacted and quickly ran out of the conference room, catching up with Bai Miao and grabbing the hem of his uniform.

"Captain...is that you? Why did you come back so quickly? Is there something I did wrong that made you worry?"

Seeing Emma's flustered expression, Bai Miao smiled slightly: "So, do you want me to come back, or not?"

Emma was conflicted: "Your return... makes me feel like there's something wrong with my job... but if you don't come back, I think every day about whether you'll be the next captain."

Emma couldn't wait any longer and asked, "So what do you want to do back here this time?"

Bai Miao looked towards the captain's cabin: "I want to settle things with something. You should know that if the captain doesn't complete his mission every night, something will kill him, right?"

Emma nodded: "Mmm..."

"Promise me you won't believe anything that thing says again."

Bai Miao carefully examined Emma and noticed another detail that he hadn't noticed before.

Emma's body was also formed from a single piece.

This means that no changes can be made to her internal structure, not even by rewriting the program.

Only the external parts of the skeleton can be changed, such as hair and facial features. If you want to make any changes inside, you would have to dismantle and rebuild the entire structure.

"Captain... will you leave again this time...?"

"meeting."

Bai Miao answered decisively: "Not only this time, but I won't stay long after I return either, and I will leave again."

"If I leave without a word, will you hate me for leaving without saying goodbye?"

Emma shook her head repeatedly: "No, I won't hate the captain."

At that moment, Irina also ran over.

"Captain! Is it really you who's back?!"

She pulled Emma close, still somewhat doubtful: "You can't just trust him!"

Emma countered, "But he knows Kaguya, and he knows where Kaguya is."

"What if we only know his name? Even if we find Kaguya, it doesn't prove he's the captain! Unless..."

"Unless what? Unless I reveal everything about how you desperately didn't want me to leave? You threw a lot of tantrums at me the nights before Kaguya left, but that's just your personality, so I won't blame you."

Bai Miao's words made Irina blush.

Emma asked curiously, "Did Minister Irina used to like to act cute?"

“Nonsense!” Irina stubbornly shook her head. “I don’t believe it! I don’t believe you’ll be back so soon!”

"Ah."

Bai Miao left with a mocking laugh, turning to leave: "Don't forget to follow the directions I told you to. Emma, ​​you come over later too; it's time to schedule the duty officer."

"Yes!"

Emma excitedly followed Bai Miao, making Irina grit her teeth and stomp her feet in anger.

This time, Bai Miao didn't select all female department heads for the duty roster; instead, he took care of every single one of them.

On the first day, the duty officer, Bai Miao, chose Ichiro Ogure.

Bai Miao was curious as to why this seemingly honest Minister of Power had joined the rebel ranks.

Emma carefully handled the affairs on the ship, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Ask whatever you want, say whatever you want. I might just leave at any time."

Seeing Emma like this, Bai Miao really wanted to write it all down as a dark history.

If she could stay like this forever, I wouldn't have to worry about her so much.

"You... why did you break the original agreement? Didn't you hope they could develop for at least a thousand years? It's only been a little over a hundred years now..."

"This ship is the prison of my soul. I may appear at different times with different memories, but as long as you remember a few key phrases, you will know who the real me is."

Just as Bai Miao was about to use a coded message to further solidify his control over Emma, ​​Emma waved her hand.

“That won’t work… I can’t react in a specific way to any particular person. My underlying logic dictates that I can only think in my own way, learn and grow on my own, and any external suggestions are ineffective.”

Bai Miao felt a wave of dizziness upon hearing this.

That's absolutely outrageous.

But then Bai Miao thought again, if there really are many Bai Miaos, which one should Emma believe?

Perhaps it was with this in mind that one guy chose to flip the table.

No one should give any hints; let Emma choose for herself.

If it were me, and Emma had actually made multiple suggestive statements and kept making changes, I would probably have made the decision to cut off this behavior at its source.

"I see... So you haven't sensed my return all this time?"

Emma nodded: "For over a hundred years, you haven't been able to remember anything, and you even feel panicked about your own existence. I've also been wondering if it's because you're not used to becoming the captain right away. So I plan to design other roles for you in the future, such as being selected from the crew or being recruited as an elite talent from a high-development group."

"With these prerequisite roles, you should be able to adapt more quickly."

"Good work."

During the conversation, Ichiro Ogure arrived at the captain's office.

Although he was a big man, he looked unusually cautious, with his shoulders slightly hunched, like a child who had made a mistake and was waiting for punishment.

"Why are you like this? What wrong thing have you done? Tell us."

Although Bai Miao knew about the rebellion, he still wanted to hear the minister's account of the situation.

To everyone's surprise, Ichiro Ogure immediately knelt on the ground: "It's my fault! Not long after you left, I wanted to rebel and overthrow Secretary Emma's rule. It was my oversight, and I'm willing to commit seppuku to atone for my sins!"

As he spoke, he took out a knife from his pocket and prepared to stab himself.

"Alright, enough of this. You're not the mastermind. If I'm not mistaken, Irina persuaded you, right?"

At this point, Bai Miao turned on the computer on the table and sent a message to Irina.
