A Few Months Later
The deal with the Transhumanist Faction was not entirely ideal.
Ves not only exposed a lot of strategic information about Blinky's cultivation, but also became dependent on the E-computer designs of the Red Association.
He did not forget about the painful lesson taught by his mother. If he rashly took over the work developed by other parties, he risked introducing vulnerabilities into his own systems!
It would not be difficult for the Transhumanists to tamper with the designs and pass on compromised computer designs to Ves.
Without an advanced background in computer hardware or software engineering, it would be difficult if not impossible for Ves to detect all of the possible traps and vulnerabilities embedded into the designs!
Ves would be a fool to trust in the goodwill of the Transhumanists!
However, Ves already thought about this possibility beforehand. He insisted on adding special clauses to the contract to account for this risk.
