This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 105 Genetic mutation? Subsequent impact on career [Knight]

Li Ming really won the Balkans.

Everyone's eyes met and fell on Li Ming, who seemed to be seriously injured.

The professors sitting next to Dean Chen were moved and looked at each other. This kind of victory violated the basic laws of evolution.

The gap in development progress between the two is at least 90%. Considering the increase in core capabilities, the gap should be even greater.

Even if Li Ming undergoes genetic mutation, it will be difficult to make up for this gap.

But the scene before him was that Li Ming almost killed Balkan with one blow, even though he was also seriously injured, which was unreasonable.

"Judging from his speed, he should be a genetic mutant." Professor Xia thought for a while and provided an idea.

"Does this kind of life form really exist?" Professor Gao looked hesitant.

Professor Bai then added: "Of course there are. The Kanrus Institute has found at least ten cases where genetic mutations occurred during the evolution process, thus gaining strength and speed that are different from those of life forms at the same level."

"However, this will also weaken the development potential of the life form itself, and may even lead to other hidden dangers. It may not necessarily be a good thing."

"So his previous development potential, was it after the weakening or before the weakening?" Professor Gao asked a key question.

"This time Wu Yanqing has really found a treasure!" Professor Bai snorted coldly, feeling increasingly unhappy: "He is already a D-level life form. Do you think it was before or after the weakening?"

During the last entrance examination at the beginning of the school year, he did not have much feeling towards Li Ming himself, but was more dissatisfied with Wu Yanqing's arrogant and domineering attitude.

After all, he had won the first place in the last assessment, and the gap between him and Li Mingming in development potential was only one or two levels.

But now it is completely different. Li Ming's development potential is definitely not just what he has shown, it is far more than level eight.

He even guessed that it was above level ten, and this was most likely due to genetic mutation, which had weakened it. How great was its true development potential?

"it is good!"

Suddenly, there was a loud noise from under the stage. The students from the Polytechnic University cheered and were extremely excited.

Some people even started to curse at the people from Sera Royal Academy on the spot, venting the frustration they had felt in their hearts for many days.

Xu Wei's cheeks flushed, she exhaled slowly, and there was a strange light in her eyes. She knew that this little brother would definitely shine with a brilliance that no one could ignore.

"I think the Internet is boiling right now."

This friendly exchange conference was broadcast live, and those who have been paying close attention to these things have probably already opened the champagne.

The people from Sera Royal Academy were naturally the exact opposite. They were on pins and needles, their faces livid, but they had no way out and couldn't even find any point to refute.

Li Ming was a man who attacked from the opposite direction and then defeated three enemies at once.

Some people couldn't help but stand up, frowned, squeezed through the crowd, and left in a hurry, unable to stay for a moment.

Dean Chen waited for the people below to vent for a while before raising his hand to signal. The noisy voices gradually died down, and he said calmly: "I declare that Li Ming will take first, second, and third place."

After a brief silence, there was a greater excitement, and many young people looked at the figure on the stage with envy.

He turned the tide without making any noise, worked hard in silence, came out at the critical moment, defeated three opponents at once and maintained their last dignity. What a glorious achievement it was.

They are all passionate young people, who wouldn’t be envious?
On the ring, medical staff rushed up quickly and began to treat Li Ming's injuries.

The Sera civilization lost face and didn't want to stay here any longer, so they left one after another.

Saiyin had no expression on his face and turned away without even saying hello.

People from the Polytechnic University were responsible for handling the next matters. Many media flocked to the scene, wanting to interview Li Ming as soon as possible, but were all stopped outside.

Dean Chen and other senior executives took Li Ming away and went to the medical room.

"Good boy, I always felt that you were at a disadvantage by following Wu Yanqing, but now it seems that's not the case." Professor Xia stared at him for a long time and finally sighed.

He often heard Ding Hui express his admiration for Li Ming's talent, and also lamented that such a great talent was wasted.

"Dean, the first, second and third places are my rewards. I can't just give the highest one to you." Li Ming was concerned about another issue.

Dean Chen smiled warmly, with wrinkles on the corners of his eyes. He closed the door of the medical room and said, "Of course not. The total bonus is 10 million, not a cent less."

"In addition, the school will give you an additional 5 million as a token of our gratitude."

The medical staff had already attached various detectors to him. Assassin Li Ming was grimacing as various liquids were poured on the torn wounds on his body, causing constant pain.

Hearing this, he couldn't help but grin and said, "Teacher always told me that the dean is generous, and it's true."

Dean Chen laughed. Li Ming's appearance solved a big problem for him. Although the last friendly exchange ended in a complete defeat for the Polytechnic University,

But the last time the public opinion was not so big and did not involve so many people.

"You should rest for a while. Wait until your injuries stabilize before leaving. There should be a big noise outside." Dean Chen said.

"That armor..." Li Ming spoke quickly.

"You are indispensable." Dean Chen shook his head: "That thing is usually not used, but you care about it very much."

"Collecting is still very valuable." Professor Xia spoke appropriately, looking at Li Ming with an "I understand you" expression on his face, and sighed: "If your development potential was not so high, you would become a very good mechanic."

"Mechanic?" Professor Bai, who was standing by the windowsill, looked over, seemingly puzzled.

Professor Xia chuckled twice, and Dean Chen did not stay long. He had been stepped on the head and ridiculed by Sera Royal Academy before, so now was the time to get back at them.

Dean Chen straightened his sleeves and pushed the door open to leave. The corridor was already occupied by security guards, with a guard every five steps.

At the same time, a man quickly walked forward. He was slightly bald, disheveled, and looked hurried. There were a few words on the nameplate hanging on his clothes - Duan Chunsheng, one of Dean Chen's students.

Just as he was about to speak, Dean Chen waved his hand.

The two walked a little further away, and Duan Chunsheng opened the smart terminal. A virtual screen popped up, with a large amount of data bands displayed on it. He then said, "Teacher, we have tested it. Li Ming's blood is normal. No abnormal factors were found."

"Even..." He hesitated slightly, and Dean Chen motioned for him to continue: "Even more ordinary than the average student."

Dean Chen was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"According to my test, his development potential is not even at level 2, let alone level 8." Duan Chunsheng was somewhat unconfident when he said this.

If he had discovered this before today, he would have thought that Li Ming had cheated in the assessment.

But Li Ming is now a real D-level life form, and his actual combat ability is ridiculously strong. Anyone who says that his development potential is low will probably be bombarded immediately.

Dean Chen frowned slightly. "It seems that Wu Yanqing has already made arrangements. However, it is not right to suppress the development potential too low." "Wait half an hour, and then leak the blood out. Doesn't that Sein want it very much?"

Duan Chunsheng nodded.

……

In the room, Li Ming put away the smart terminal, looked around, and finally looked at Rosser who had just arrived.

"Lao Luo, I have a friend who is a reporter for the Blue Star Times. She wanted to interview me, but was stopped. Can you take her over?"

Rosser nodded: "Small problem, what's it called?"

"Xu Wei, he should be outside."

.........

boom! boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom!
The persistent knocking on the door forced Qi Xing to open the door of the training room reluctantly. A shadow immediately enveloped him. "Brother, can't you just send me a message if you have something to say? Why do you have to come here?"

Standing in front of him was Zhao Jingang. Looking at Qi Xing, who was soaked in sweat, shirtless, and with well-proportioned muscles, he was silent for a while and said, "I sent you several messages, but you didn't reply."

"Oh." Qi Xing shrugged and let Zhao Jingang in. "I put the smart terminal in another room. That thing keeps diverting my attention. It's poisonous."

"What's wrong? What happened?" He lay on the sofa nonchalantly, "According to the time, today should be the day of the competition. You didn't come here on purpose to tell me this bad news and disrupt my training, did you?"

Hearing Qi Xing's words, Zhao Jingang showed a rather strange look on his face, and said leisurely: "Let me tell you, Li Ming is already a D-level life form."

"Hmm?" Qi Xing, who was originally very calm, suddenly jumped up from the sofa as if his butt was on fire, gritting his teeth and said: "This damn bastard, remember what I said last time, he couldn't contact me, so he asked you to come and stimulate me in person, right?"

He clearly remembered that Li Ming said that he would be the first to tell him after becoming a D-class life form.

He thought it was just a joke, but he didn't expect the other party to carry it through so thoroughly.

"I knew it. His development potential is definitely not at level eight. If he keeps it hidden, he might be above level ten!" Qi Xing pointed at the ceiling and cursed.

"That's not why I came here."

Zhao Jingang's expression became more and more strange, and a strange smile appeared on his cheeks that seemed to be made of rocks, which made Qi Xing feel creepy.

"Today, Li Ming went to the exchange conference and defeated three teams, including Yuko, Nathanshan, and Balkan, and took first, second, and third place."

Qi Xing, who was gritting his teeth and cursing Li Ming under his breath, froze after hearing these words.

There was a look of dullness and confusion on his face, as if he was unable to digest too much information.

One through three?

Take one, two, or three?

The fact that Li Ming became a D-class life form was enough to surprise him, but the series of events that happened afterwards were like a fairy tale.

"What did you say!?" He pulled Zhao Jingang's clothes, and said anxiously with inquiry and disbelief, "This joke is really not funny."

Zhao Jingang was helpless: "The Internet is already boiling with rumors. Why don't you just use your smart terminal to check it out yourself?"

Qi Xing screamed and rushed out of the door. There was a crackling sound. After a short silence, there was another wailing, "Since Xing was born, why was Ming born!"

.........

“…Then I will publish it according to this article.” Xu Wei put away the pen, pinched the virtual screen to death, and said with a smile: “Thank you very much for letting me be the first interview.”

"It's nothing." Li Ming shook his head and asked curiously, "Why haven't you been promoted yet? Wasn't the last news big enough?"

"I don't want to sit in an office. The news is so interesting. I'm already in a very high position," Xu Wei explained.

"When can we have a meal together? Every time it's just me and Xiao Yutou. I heard that you don't see each other very often." Xu Wei hinted.

"There will be a chance." Li Ming said perfunctorily.

After asking Rosser to help send Xu Wei away, the blond and blue-eyed handsome man couldn't help but sigh: "This reporter is also a talent. The interview is very...perspective."

Li Ming had already witnessed Xu Wei's charm in journalism and couldn't help but laugh.

Not long after, Professor Xia pushed the door of the medical room open a little further and waved his hand.

Then, a large green iron box was moved in. It was two meters long and one meter wide.

The students who helped move the boxes looked at Li Ming excitedly and took two photos together before they left happily.

"The retro craftsmanship of the Sera Royal Knight Armor is quite outstanding." Professor Xia patted the iron box and the door popped open.

On the supporting pillar in the iron box was hanging a suit of light golden full body armor, and on the breastplate was a large green tree carved.

Since the Thra people are born with green hair, green is an important totem in their civilization. There are many legends about the Tree of Life, claiming that they were born from the tree and their hair is half green and half leaves.

The helmet almost covers the entire head, and the exposed part is called a "T". The end of the shoulder armor is raised like a curved hook. The gold and green interwoven patterns complement each other. The skirt armor on the lower body is also clearly layered.

Professor Xia sighed: "The Sera Royal Knights are the royal guards who have been passed down for many years. Their symbolic significance is far greater than their practical significance, and their collection value is very high."

"What do you mean by high collection value?" Li Ming had a bad feeling and couldn't help but ask.

Professor Xia further explained: "The manufacturing process of this armor is very fine, the fiber thread pattern, alloy reshaping, tempering is almost flawless, and there is no stress.

"But beneath the retro appearance lies modern technology, multiple amplitude reduction, information scanning, joint assistance, etc...."

"However, due to its exquisite retro appearance, its combat capability is not good. But this thing is not designed for actual combat, so it is harmless."

Li Ming hesitated and said, "Aren't they born for actual combat? Aren't they all C-level life forms?"

Professor Xia smiled: "Yes, but who stipulated that they only have this set of armor? This is not combat armor, but ceremonial armor. They will only wear it when attending important events."

Li Ming was speechless and went over to touch it.

[Sera Royal Knight Armor--Class C: Retro craft armor, remembering everything that Sera civilization once had.

Control conditions: 30,000 points of metal energy
Mastery Effect: Knight Skills--Master Level

Control Ability - Etiquette: Temporarily improve the knight's skills and obtain the profession - Knight. 】

Hmm, knight skills master level? Knight profession?
It's really just a showpiece, but perhaps because of this, the metal energy required to control it is not much. If this profession is of some use, then it is acceptable.

Li Ming was a little bit expectant, but now was obviously not the time for him to take control, so he could only wait.
