I was reborn after playing a good hand badly

Su Mo listened quietly to Zhang Yide's reasons for recommending each star, while mentally comparing them with her previous choices.

Six of her own options overlapped with Zhang Yide's recommendations, which was already a lot. Su Mo didn't plan to change her already planned route, so giving up the remaining two wouldn't matter, since she could only choose three in the end anyway.

Su Mo kept his thoughts to himself and didn't show them.

He only said, "I will consider your recommendation, but I will decide which one to choose after the whole process is over."

These words drew everyone's attention.

Zhang Yide wanted to ask why, but then he thought that what they did was not wrong. It was reasonable to examine the candidates before making a decision.

"So, we'll land on and investigate all the candidate planets we pass by, right?" Zhang Yide couldn't help but ask in advance.

Their primary objective for this trip was to accompany Su Mo to land on multiple celestial bodies; most of their other missions were based on this objective.

Given the current situation, neither the Space Force nor the Association can support large-scale field exploration. Sending teams to land is not impossible, but it can only be done one by one, which would be time-consuming and resource-intensive.

It wasn't until Jiang Qizhang proposed this accompanying plan that things changed.

In their view, no matter which option Su Mo chose, she would definitely land and investigate in person. Otherwise, why would she still set off as planned after receiving the star map from Ni Xue, without canceling the trip?

Although the star map was provided to Su Mo a little late, it contained all the necessary data, and the association, the space force, and the extraterrestrial development office had all reviewed it, so there were no problems.

If Su Mo doesn't want to conduct an on-site investigation, then there's no need for him to make the trip once he gets the star map.

Su Mo's decision not to cancel her trip confirmed many people's suspicions: she was going to investigate the secret passages on those celestial bodies.

Those who were able to accompany him this time would also receive this information. They didn't need to do much; they just needed to carry out whatever Su Mo might arrange.

This way, the necessary intelligence can be brought back.

Since Su Mo only has a quota of three star systems, the information on the other candidate star systems can naturally be entered into the databases of the Association and the Space Force.

Zhang Yide and the others were all a little excited.

They had barely set off when they discussed the key aspects of their mission. They dared not think too much about anything else, only hoping that Su Mo would prepare more alternatives for their investigation, so that they would have more opportunities to investigate different celestial bodies.

If we're lucky, it will save the authorities a lot of trouble when they need to use the remaining celestial bodies later.

It's no wonder that Zhang Yide and others would think that way.

The flying artifact is a product of Suzhou's craftsmanship, and it differs from the technological creations of Blue Star in many ways.

Just like any warship or cargo ship built on Earth, regardless of its size, basic detection and exploration equipment is indispensable. With the help of instruments, it may be possible to collect a lot of information simply by orbiting the star, so that getting close is sufficient and landing is not necessarily required.

But flying artifacts are different. In Zhang Yide's view, a flying artifact is probably just a tool that can travel in space at a fairly fast speed. Without landing, it is impossible to know the specific situation on the planet.

This idea is indeed correct. After all, those who use flying artifacts are all cultivators from Suzhou, and most of them are powerful cultivators with high cultivation levels. They do not need the assistance of instruments and equipment; their outward divine sense can do it.

Compared to the divine sense of powerful cultivators, the spiritual power that the current awakened ones on Blue Star can release is truly insignificant, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Yide and others cannot understand it.

After hearing Zhang Yide's question, Su Mo shifted her gaze from the star map and scanned everyone sitting on both sides of the long table. She sensed that they were all eagerly anticipating the login.

Despite being under everyone's gaze, Su Mo shook his head and gave a negative answer.

"Even with the shuttle going up and down, it takes a lot of time, so I don't plan to log in."

Everyone: “…”

At that moment, surprise and confusion flashed across their faces.

Although it was said during the meeting in the room that everyone else should just follow the instructions and do their jobs, Zhang Yide should handle all the communication.

However, some people, still surprised, blurted out in a moment of impulsiveness, "If Principal Su isn't going to conduct any inspections, what is he doing here?"

Su Mo and the others all looked at the male team member who had asked the question.

The male team member "..."

He pursed his lips, looking a little nervous.

There was no displeasure, but Su Mo also did not give an answer.

"You will know then."

Everyone: “…”

Zhang Yide's eyelids twitched, wanting to ask something more, but when he met Su Mo's gaze, he ultimately didn't continue the topic.

I was originally going to continue talking about the various mineral resources on the planet to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

One of the two people who had been busy at the stove came over and told them that dinner was ready.

Before Zhang Yide could speak, Su Mo stood up and said, "You guys eat first."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Su Mo was about to leave, Zhang Yide also stood up and asked, "Aren't you going to eat with us? Chef Song is also here."

The supplies prepared by the association and the Space Force included portions for Su Mo and Song Yi, and they were aware of this.

Su Mo waved his hand.

"Don't worry about me, Song Yi will take care of my meals. Hmm, we've already eaten."

Zhang Yide nodded and said nothing more.

This flying shuttle is Su Mo's territory, and they really don't need to worry about their master's affairs. However, when he looked at Song Yi, who was dealing with the insect corpses alone not far away, his heart stirred.

Su Mo had no intention of watching others eat. After nodding to everyone, he left the long table and walked towards the control room.

Although he didn't intend to change the route he had set, Su Mo decided to make some minor adjustments based on their conversation.

Su Mo stopped and looked at Song Yi as he walked over.

"Is it very difficult to handle, Uncle Song?"

"It's alright, it's just that I didn't expect to do this beforehand, and I didn't bring any of my tools." Song Yi got up and sat on the nearest stool.

He's been working on this for a while now, and he's only managed to open part of the outer shell.

"Let me cut it open for you, it'll be faster if you just take the meat out directly."

Su Mo was about to take out his knife when he was stopped.

It was Zhang Yide who walked over.

"You can't cut this directly, Su Mo. If you don't know how to do it, I'll arrange for two team members to help Chef Song in a bit."

"Yes, yes, Principal, we can't just cut it open and let the meat inside get stained with blood," Song Yi also objected.

The problem is that it cannot be violently divided; otherwise, a new profession would not have emerged in the Xia Kingdom, specializing in dismantling various insect flesh for others.

Su Mo: "..."

She could actually cut open the insect carcass without letting the contents move at all, but... well, let them do it themselves if they want.

"Alright, you guys figure it out yourselves." Nodding, Su Mo walked into the control room.

Song Yi smiled at Zhang Yide; he knew the boy too.

"Captain Zhang, you don't need to waste your manpower to help me. Just lend me a couple of suitable tools."

A bitter smile flashed across Zhang Yide's face.

"Don't worry, Chef Song. Helping you out won't delay things. I'll have someone come over after we finish eating. This thing is just getting in the way here, so it's important to get it done as soon as possible."

"Okay." Song Yi didn't refuse anymore; what the other person said wasn't wrong.
