fifth form

Chapter 2541: Runner-up
"Xu Zhihui is showing off, right?"

"What does she mean? If she blows up the third-sequence tester, she will be able to move up to the fourth-sequence level?"

"Is Seo Ji-hye the third or fourth sequence?"

There was no sequence level tag on Xu Zhihui's forehead, and when the sequence was upgraded, the external form of the gene was blocked by the outer shell of the tester, making it difficult for ordinary people to observe it from a distance.

Zhen Mei was still a little confused, while Zhou Bo, Huo Deqian, Pei Ying and other sequence committee members looked extremely solemn, and some of them even had face twitching.

"It's outrageous!" Zhou Bo whispered.

"Gene sequences are constantly being updated, and individual efforts simply cannot keep up with the progress of scientific research," Huo Deqian said solemnly, "It is very likely that our decades of persistence will be overtaken by these latecomers in just over ten years!"

"There should be only a few people who can pay the price right now," Pei Ying said cautiously, "Should we wait a while?"

"Do you believe that the serial locks of the future will be the same as the serial locks of today?" Zhou Bo asked.

"This...this..."

Many people don't like conspiracy theories, but what Zhou Bo said makes sense.

When GM caters to the general public, there will inevitably be trade-offs. There is no need to tailor-make products anymore, and the development will all be up to the individual training.

People related to the B13 Institute mentioned that serial locks currently have security flaws, but there is no clear statement on whether the practical value of serial locks will be reduced after this problem is solved.

Zhen Mei's judgment was rather vague, but Zhou Bo and others were very clear that Xu Zhihui's sequence strength had changed.

Regardless of whether Xu Zhihui was at the sequence limit, critical value or other situations before, the sequence lock obviously played a driving role in it.

The sequence lock that can help Xu Zhihui improve may have a high probability of being repeated in many people.

"No one doesn't want the sixth sequence," Huo Deqian murmured.

"Is this a sixth-order thing?" Zhou Bo complained, "Our old man said that as long as we work harder, there will be no shortage of opportunities for the seventh order in the future!"

"I'm kind of thinking about selling my property," Pei Ying whispered.

Pei Ying is Pei Jing's second son. He also stood on the right side when the Sequence Committee was pacifying Pei Jing, thus maintaining the existence of the Pei family branch.

But the Sequence Committee is not a nanny and cannot protect him forever.

The capable ones are promoted and the mediocre ones are demoted. This is the system of the alternate sequence committee, and it is also a rule that is demonstrated to many sequence committee members.

If more and more Sixth Sequencers emerge, Pei Ying's status as a Sequence Committee member will inevitably be handed over in the struggle.

His selling of his property was an act of a spendthrift, but it was also an act of investment.

If the Pei family cannot keep up with the pace of the times, they may disappear quietly among the top leaders of the Red Alliance.

"The sequence lock they mentioned has potential problems. First, the current content is not perfect. Second, Professor Zhang's sequence strength is limited. It is very difficult for him to act as a guide. Third, once Professor Zhang's life span..."

"Why are you talking about those useless things? He may not die even if you die!"

"He has intermittent vegetative symptoms!"

"Even if he is in a complete vegetative state, it doesn't mean he can't maintain his life!"

"Professor Zhang is just too considerate. If you try someone else, they would probably want to keep these things secret, not be so open like him!"

"I suspect that Professor Zhang is refusing to return the person because of the high price, rather than the fact that the sequence lock is consumed to such an extent. He should train new sequence lock guides, but it is hard to say whether the people trained later will be as good as Professor Zhang!"

"Has Chairman Li come to ask for the sequence lock?"

... Zhou Bo, Huo Deqian, and Pei Ying were whispering and making their own judgments.

All three of them have cooperated with Zhang Xuezhou and are semi-acquaintances with each other. They came not only for themselves, but also to connect with many people.

The shock of Zuo Lianguang's transition from defeat to entering the Seventh Sequence was too great, and his opponent's success almost affected many veteran Sixth Sequence players.

If it were two years ago, many people would just smile at the new product called sequence lock.

No matter what sequence lock it is, it is impossible to enter the seventh sequence without the corresponding ferocious beast extract. This rule is unbreakable.

But the problem lies in the large-scale hunting operation carried out by the committee a few months ago. The harvest of several ferocious beasts has put many people in the committee in a state of constant excitement.

This means that the top leaders of the committee have the ability to hunt ferocious beasts, and it also means that many committee members have the possibility of touching the seventh sequence.

In this case, any way to assist to the sixth sequence is extremely valuable, and the ability to assist to the seventh sequence is even more crazy.

Everyone knows that the earlier the ability is prepared, the better. It is impossible to wait until the beast extract is obtained to procrastinate.

If the B13 Institute had not handed over the reception matters to Zuo Denggao, and the price Zuo Denggao asked for was exorbitant, this place would have been overcrowded a long time ago.

In the face of this breakthrough sequence boost, no one cares about the consequences. What they are more afraid of is that a situation where you have it but I don’t will occur, thus causing an imbalance in the sequence strength of the committee members.

"Grandpa, why don't we just close down the Wanping 3rd, 7th, and 18th research institutes, and then come here to line up first. I'm afraid if we line up too late, people won't want some of their stuff anymore, and we'll be short of it, and we won't be able to get the full amount even if we sell them!"

Zhou Bo was one of the few smart men among the strong men in Wanping Province. After some discussion, seeing Pei Ying start to negotiate with Zuo Denggao, he also took out the communicator and contacted Zhao Tianhua.

"Fuck you, my little brother has such a good relationship with us, how dare that guy surnamed Zuo ask for such a high price?"

"That Zuo brat is heartless. He has been beaten four times. He gets more aggressive every time he gets beaten. Not to mention giving in, it's hard to even ask him to treat him to a meal!"

"Fuck, they actually want to shut down my research institute. What do they need so many basic research materials for?"

"It's not a bad thing to suspend our Wanping research level for a while, so as to avoid wasting it!"

Zhao Tianhua listened to Zhou Bo's advice and did not deny Zhou Bo's proposal when he was scolding. This made Zhou Bo feel relieved and he quickly pulled Zuo Denggao up.

"This kind of thing will be fine if everyone keeps calm. How can it be balanced if someone takes advantage of it?"

Pei Ying, who was afraid that the Pei family would find it difficult to support themselves after losing a powerful general like Pei Jing, made the first choice, and the next choice was Zhou Bo from Wanping Province, where genetic research was relatively backward.

Huo Deqian looked at the two men, only to see them turning back to look at him.

"Brother Huo, don't you want to line up quickly?" Pei Ying asked in a low voice.

"I'll line up, I'll definitely line up!"

If you can guess what will happen next, it is obviously better to get involved sooner rather than later.

Huo Deqian felt a pain on his face, but he had to get involved.

Compared with young people, they have to pay more.

What Zuo Denggao needs is not hard assets or currency, but genetic research materials, researchers, instruments, and some weak genetic materials.

If too many basic materials are withdrawn from scientific research projects, the research progress will be halted. Even if some research is in the progress stage, it will be interrupted. And withdrawing researchers for several years will be a major blow.

But the consequences of not participating are hard to predict, and you may have to pay a higher price in the future.

Huo Deqian didn't want to get involved, but he had to run along to avoid falling behind in the committee.
