1068 First Meeting with Elkart
When Chu Nan appeared in front of Elkart, the two of them revealed very curious gazes.
The difference was that other than curiosity, Elkart’s gaze was also filled with scrutiny and praise.
After looking at each other for a while, Elkart stretched out his hand and invited Chu Nan to do it.
After Chu Nan sat down, Elkart waved his hand and let the surrounding people retreat. Then, he seriously sized him up and smiled, “Since you’ve already seen Rubes, you must have learned from him that I’ve actually noticed you long ago.”
Chu Nan recalled his conversation with Rubes and Lazakdo on Planet Eton and nodded lightly.
It was in that conversation that Rubes mentioned Elkart’s name and clearly mentioned the time when Chu Nan obtained a special data ability, causing him to be wary.
However, from the reaction of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, they clearly did not know what kind of change Chu Nan’s brain had experienced after that incident. They should not know that the powerful data ability he had now was the important reason for his strength to increase greatly.
As for this Elkart in front of him, what left the deepest impression on Chu Nan was that when Rubes mentioned him at that time, he had emphasized a few times that not only did he think very highly of Chu Nan’s evaluation and future, he even had a very high evaluation of the entire Earth Federation. He felt that the Earth Federation had a high chance of becoming an important country in the Orion Arm in the future.
This was what made Chu Nan the most curious about him.
It would have been fine if he had a high evaluation of Chu Nan. After all, he had many practical achievements that displayed his talent and strength.
However, the Earth Federation…
Although the Earth Federation had developed to this extent in just more than 700 years after stepping into the Star Civilization Circle and could indeed be said to be extremely fast and attract a lot of attention, not to mention being ranked in the entire Milky Way, it was even an inferior small country in the Orion Arm. It could not be compared to a traditional large country like the United States of Melaita.
Perhaps the only thing that could be considered a little famous was the peripheral universe outside the spiral arm.
Under normal circumstances, it was already not bad for a higher-up like Elkart to know the existence of a small country like the Earth Federation. Why would he have such a high evaluation of the Earth Federation?
After thinking for a moment, Chu Nan asked, “Can I ask how you know I’m on this ship?”
Elkart smiled, “If I say that I deliberately chose this ship and boarded it at this time, would you believe me?”
“I believe you.” Chu Nan nodded without any hesitation.
Of course, he believed it.
With the strength of the Noctem Chamber of Commerce, it was naturally not too difficult to find his whereabouts.
Moreover, he did not have the intention to hide his whereabouts this time. As long as Elkart was willing, he could naturally deliberately arrange it this time.
However, the problem was, why did he do this?
“If I say that I’m specially here for you, you definitely won’t believe me.” Seeing the doubt in Chu Nan’s expression, Elkart continued to smile and explain, “Moreover, I’m indeed not specially here for you. In fact, I happen to be dealing with some things in the United States of Melaita this time. After I’m done, I’m going to the Declan Empire to cooperate with them on a project. Right, it’s related to the Garden Hunting Assembly you’re about to participate in.”
Chu Nan suddenly recalled that the last time he spoke to Rubes and Lazakdo, he had unintentionally mentioned this. However, he was stopped by Rubes from continuing.
“However, I wanted to see you because I had planned it in advance. That’s why I chose this time to board this ship so accurately.” Elkart looked at Chu Nan with a serious gaze, “To be honest, ever since the first abnormal situation that appeared on you attracted my attention, I’ve always been very curious about you. Chu Nan, do you know? My greatest wish now is to pry open your head and carefully see if there’s a change in the structure of your brain.”
Chu Nan was shocked.
Could it be that this guy in front of him really saw the change in his brain?
Just as he was thinking about how to bluff his way through, Elkart smiled again.
“You don’t have to be so nervous. Even if there’s really a change in the structure of your brain, it’s not strange. The Milky Way is so big and there are all kinds of strange people. It’s normal for a person to be different from others. Do you know my identity? Or do you know what I do in the Chamber of Commerce?”
Chu Nan was stunned and did not understand why Elkart suddenly changed the topic and asked this question.
He carefully recalled and discovered that Rubes had mentioned Elkart’s identity.
“If I remember correctly, you… should be a high-level data analyst in the Noctem Chamber of Commerce?”
“That’s right.” Elkart clapped his hands forcefully, “I’m mainly responsible for the high-end data processing work in the Chamber of Commerce. However, do you know why it’s me and not anyone else? Do you know why our Chamber of Commerce clearly has so many high-end A.I. processors, but we still have to deal with some of the most important data problems?”
Chu Nan shook his head in confusion.
“The reason is very simple.” Elkart pointed at his head, “Because my brain is different from ordinary people. I’m countless times stronger than ordinary people in terms of data analysis and processing. I can even surpass the most advanced A.I. of our Chamber of Commerce when necessary. Coupled with the unique logical analysis and association ability of humans, I can complete work that even the most advanced A.I. can’t. That’s why I became the unique high-level data analyst of our Chamber of Commerce. No one can replace my role.”
Elkart’s words sounded very arrogant, but regardless of his tone or expression, they were very calm and normal, as if he was only describing a very simple fact. He did not brag at all.
“Someone said that this is the talent of my race. That’s right. Our race is indeed born with an obvious advantage in this aspect compared to others, but it’s not a reason for me to be different. I know very well that the reason why I became far stronger than others and all my clansmen was actually because of an accident that made my brain even more different and obtained an ability countless times stronger than ordinary people.”
At this point, Elkart paused for a moment and stretched out a finger to point at the stunned Chu Nan. His eyes were filled with exploration and a fanatical desire to know.
“Now, Chu Nan, tell me, did something happen to you that made your brain different from others?”
