章 6571: Short Term and Long Term Considerations

Now that Ves read through the descriptions of the three powerful upgrade options presented by the Mech Designer System, he immediately began to determine which one suited him best.

Ketis had a lot more time to mull over her choices. Her discussion with Ves did not change her calculus all that much. She still went through an orderly process of setting criteria before weighing the three options against them just to be sure she made a choice that had not been overly influenced by the Heavensword.

Ves on the other hand had to start from the beginning. He first tried to determine his greatest priorities.

Survival should rank at the top. He could do nothing if he ended up getting killed by his enemies.

The native aliens of red humanity posed the most acute threat. Given their many advantages during this sensitive period of time, it might be useful if Ves found a way to strengthen himself and the forces under his command in the short term.
