The moment Richard entered the all-metal corridor, a large group of people came jogging toward him.
Emerson led the way, with Wizard Nora and the other members of the experimental team half a step behind him, along with numerous assistants from the command hall.
The moment Emerson saw Richard, he opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Richard, can the plan be considered a success?"

The main goal is to determine the High Spirit's various attributes and explore some practical applications. Of course, pay attention to the methods during the research. Don't be too violent or too direct... after all, this captured High Spirit is, at most, in a cooperative relationship with us. If we provoke him too much, it might lead to unforeseen complications."
"But some of the tests in our original plan have to be violent and direct. What should we do about those?" Emerson frowned as he raised the question.
