Initially, Kalur wanted to know what had made Shane ask that question.
However, after he remembered Shane's combat prowess in addition to the answers to the previous questions, the Old Emperor couldn't help but be astonished.
'Does he think too highly of himself or is his confidence justified? He comes from a new race and I told him that it is possible for the system to hand out easier [Mythic] missions for new races… Does he really think that he can attain a perfect foundation?'
Even if Shane was unable to attain a perfect foundation, his current strength and potential were enough to speak volumes about his ambition.
