Chapter 1538: Chief Officer



Ning trained with Berraine for the next few days, catching up on their lessons, and learning what they had skipped over the last time due to lack of Spark.

There had been multiple expeditions to the surface, and a ton of Spark had been brought back to the cities, which allowed everyone to use it as freely as they did before.

During this time, Ning managed to learn a lot of new things, which he also managed to accurately convert. He was getting more and more knowledgeable by the day.

By the end of their training session, he was now even capable of making Neut-Metal, the slightly blue silvery metal that was sturdier than any metal that should physically exist in most world.

There had to be some crazy coincidence for someone to figure out the metal since it was very much certainly a type of alloy.

As someone who had worked with metal for hundreds of years, Ning wasn't even sure what metals could've gone into making this alloy.

That didn't matter for him to Convert though, as all he needed to convert an object to something else was familiarity. And Ning had managed to gain that familiarity.

"Starting tomorrow, you will need to start working normally. Be ready for that," Berraine said. "You will also officially receive the title of Chief Officer by the end of the day. Congratulations."

Ning smiled. "Thank you."

He had become a Chief Officer already, but that was still not changed on his Data core due to the sheer amount of important work that needed to be done by the people after having just come to this moon.

It seemed he didn't have to wait any longer.

By night, his Data Core had been updated as said, and he was now a Chief Officer in the system as well.

"Come in for now," she said.

Ning walked in and sat on a chair opposite her, sitting upright in front of the woman. "Chief Officer Ning, do you know what it is you need to be doing while under me?" she asked. "I'm not sure, Lieutenant," Ning said.

"Hard work, chief officer. Hard work," she said, accentuating her words sharply. "You need to be working hard so as to not let down the names of your superiors. That involves doing whatever comes your way with extreme efficiency. And I'm told you're a man with rather good efficiency when it comes to doing things."

Ning understood she was talking about his ability to use less Spark to do more things.

"Since you're young, I won't hound on you too much. For start, you have a job to do."

She threw a small clipboard his way with a piece of paper attached to it. It was a formal form with a bunch of information written on it.

It was a form for issuing a task to one's subordinate. It was usually done over DODS, but there were still people who used paper as well.

Ning read what his job was and saw that his task was listed as 'Free the books and Reassemble the Library'. He was a little confused about what this task meant.

"I have managed to hold the higher-ups from giving this task over to someone else since I think this will be quite easy for you. Go and complete it."

Ning frowned a little. "Lieutenant, what am I to do exactly here?" he asked. "I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what this task asks of me."

"Oh, it is quite simple," the woman said. "Go over to the library and you'll see a few of your other fellow Chief Officers doing it already. You can learn what you need to do from them." Ning was still not sure, but he nodded and accepted her answer. "I will leave right away if that is your command, Lieutenant," he said.

"You may leave, chief officer," the woman answered.

Ning saluted one last time and left the clipboard behind before making his way out of the place. Since his new task was at the library, he made his way toward it and arrived not long

after.
