Ves did not make life easy for himself by aiming to go big on the spiritual design of the Disruptor Project.
This was a rare opportunity for him to combine the strengths of a prime mech with an expert mech.
With a rare resource like Unending alloy at his disposal, there was no way that Ves wanted to squander its potential by maintaining a cautious approach!
In truth, one of the reasons why Ves behaved so well lately and tried his best to meet and exceed Gloriana's expectations was because he knew her too well.
If he didn't make her happy, how could he get away with any stunts?
Fortunately, his ploy succeeded. Gloriana was so upbeat about the progress of the Disruptor Project that she eventually allowed Ves to have his fun.
Everything would be fine as long as Ves succeeded in his implementation, but if he screwed up in any way, there was no doubt that Gloriana would turn into a demoness again!
Ves shuddered as he imagined the reckoning he would face if he caused the project to be delayed because of his distractions.
Despite this threat, he did not intend to scale back his ambitions… A moment like this would not come again for a very long time and he instinctively felt he was working on another powerful innovation.
Though he wasn't able to predict the power of his latest preoccupation, he guessed that it would not be weak!
"This is the key to differentiating my work." Ves whispered to himself.
He wanted to make a mark on the mech community. The invention of prime mechs and prime resonance had already given him a lot of fulfillment, but they were clearly inferior substitutes to the real deal.
Now that he was able to work on actual expert mechs that were able to evoke true resonance, what would they be like if he was able to alter this established dynamic by leveraging his spiritual engineering capabilities?
While Ves didn't exactly know how Seniors and Masters enabled expert mechs to exhibit true resonance, he theorized that this was a completely different approach from his own ones.
He was absolutely certain that no existing mech designer had ever created anything comparable to prime resonance!
Since design spirits played a key role in making this phenomenon possible in the first place, he predicted that he would gain an absolutely extraordinary result if he increased the union between design spirit and mech!
However, before he could explore this topic any further, he received an important message.
Shederin Purnesse had finally formulated a diplomatic strategy for the Larkinson Clan. The man spent weeks pouring through numerous archives, speaking to many different Larkinsons, looking up information on the galactic net and so on. He tried his best to come up with the most fitting plan for the clan in order to showcase his value. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Ves took a brief moment off his schedule to meet with the former ambassador at his new office. The Larkinson Clan had recently set up the Foreign Relations Department in order to emphasize the growing importance of forging ties.
Shederin had come in at the right time. Though the former Loxian had yet to become the leader of the department, as long as his plan was sound, the job was as good as his. Out of all of the Purnessers, only he had the talent, experience and wisdom to assume this major responsibility!
Ves already saw the difference that someone like Shederin could make when he entered the compartment which housed the new department. The various Larkinsons assigned to expand the foreign relations activities of the clan had become a lot more focused and driven.
The old man was already starting to make his mark here. Previously, none of the Larkinsons knew what they were doing. While they could make simple contacts and conduct straightforward business deals, their level of thinking couldn't keep up with the expanding scope of the Larkinson Clan.
Now that someone who used to be in charge of the foreign relations of an entire state entered the picture, the existing workers finally began to see the light.
The air of optimism in the Foreign Relations Department resembled that of the Design Department. This was a good sign in Ves' eyes as it appeared that Shederin's influence was absolutely not weak.
What would it be like if he actually took charge of this department? Once he gained the authority he needed, the Larkinson Clan would no longer appear like brutes in front of other people!
Ves became more certain that it had been worth it for him to rescue the Purnesse Family. The trivial losses the Avatars and Vandals suffered during the previous battle were incomparable to the gains.
He quickly moved through the main hall and entered a small and fairly barren office compartment.
Shederin already prepared his presentation. The desk and other furniture had moved over to the side in order to make way for a large projection that displayed multiple key elements.
"Patriarch Ves, please come in. I think you'll be quite excited to hear what I am about to say."
Ves smiled. "Let's hear it, then. Our clan has gone on for too long without a clear idea on how to interact with outside parties. I'm very interested in hearing your perspective."
