This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 29: The City Guard’s Reward

"Then five thousand." Li Ming replied.

Red Rose sent a sneering expression, followed by a transfer of five thousand star coins.

"This morning, the city guards raided a secret base of the Tiger Gang. They smuggled a batch of "meat" and hid there. The initial estimate is that there are fifty people."

"Also, Pang Wenlong is dead."

"died?"

"Are you sure?" These two consecutive questions proved the shock in Red Rose's heart.

"I am sure."

"Who killed him?"

"A man called Li Ming."

Red Rose looked at the reply on the screen and laughed angrily.

Given this kid's cautiousness, it's normal for him not to reveal his identity during the conversation, but can he kill Pang Wenlong?
"This lucky boy got lucky, but someone and Pang Wenlong both suffered losses." Another message popped up, and Red Rose's expression became much more solemn.

"If you have any news, you can trade with me again." She replied, ended the communication, and hurriedly left the office in her high heels.

"Let me see how muddy the water can be." Li Ming closed the small window and prepared to buy metal materials.

"Fuck, how could I forget the shipping fee? There's still 10% shipping fee, and I can only buy nine tons." Li Ming's face was dark. He had worked so hard to get star coins, but now one-tenth of it was taken away.

"No, nine tons is too much. Even if my absorption efficiency has increased a lot, it will still take a long time." He frowned and searched for a while.

The superior alloy of zirconium alloy - zirconium crystal alloy - has been found. It is mainly used in low-end propulsion engines and is resistant to high temperature and high pressure.

The price is as high as 100,000 star coins per ton, but he can only buy 90,000 star coins.

"The more precious it is, the higher the metal energy it contains should be."

"Hmm... I don't have time during the day tomorrow, so I can only choose the evening to pick up the goods, maybe the second half of the night. Four in the morning should be fine."

When he was about to confirm the order, he hesitated again, "Should I buy some development drugs to speed up the development progress of gene seeds..." He thought about it and glanced at the price of the development drugs.

"Eight thousand for an F-class development potion? This thing is not against the rules, the market price is only five thousand, and there's no shipping fee..." Li Ming was puzzled, and suddenly realized that just because it was not against the rules in the Blue Star civilization, it didn't mean it was not against the rules in other places.

He gave up the idea and said, "Forget it. I heard from Li Ning that this kind of merit usually comes with a bonus. I killed Pang Wenlong, so you can't treat me unfairly anyway."

After dealing with these things, Li Ming quietly enjoyed the electrotherapy. Thinking of the scarred tiger again, he couldn't help but smile, "You should have a lot of things to do now."

.........

"You are the one who receives the goods, Pang Wenlong is the one who guards them. All his people are dead, so the problem must be with you." A hoarse voice came from the smart terminal, and Zhang Hu's cheek twitched.

"I only give you seven days to find out who leaked the information and who took his prosthesis. Otherwise, you will have to go and accompany him!"

The smart terminal flashed and the communication ended. Zhang Hu finally couldn't help it. With a click, the smart terminal cracked, sparks burst out, and a low roar came out of his throat.

“Boss…” The subordinate knocked on the door tremblingly.

"What's the matter!" Zhang Hu suppressed his anger.

"Here comes the red rose."

.........

Early the next morning, Li Ming felt refreshed. The development of the genetic seeds was extremely rapid and had reached 15%.

The feeling of experiencing physical improvement every day is intoxicating.

When he arrived at the City Guard Department, Li Ming keenly felt that something was different. Many people looked at him frequently, and their eyes contained many emotions.

Several female colleagues looked at him with eyes that were almost tearing.

In the elevator, Li Ming had already vaguely guessed what was going on.

Ding!
The elevator door opened and Li Ming just walked out. Many eyes were focused on him, shifting as he walked.

Then, "Pa!" "Pa!" "Pa!" the applause came like a tide. Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then smiled shyly.

"Good boy, you are so lucky!" Li Ning came up and looked envious. His mood seemed to have adjusted.

"Congratulations!"

Some people patted him on the shoulders, most of them with envy, and only a few people just clapped with no expression on their faces.

"Okay..." Yang Peng walked out, and the applause gradually died down. He looked around and said in a deep voice: "Yesterday, an old friend left us, but our mission is not over yet."

"Keep working, find more clues and evidence, and avenge our old friend!"

"Yes!"

Yang Peng waved his hand to signal Li Ming to follow him. Li Ming entered the office and sat opposite Yang Peng. He looked warm:

"The minister is going to hold a press conference today. You killed Pang Wenlong and you will be commended in public."

It turned out to be because of Pang Wenlong... Li Ming had guessed it before.

The city guard, who had just joined the job not long ago, had the courage to face such a vicious criminal and even killed him, which has great publicity significance.

It will be of great benefit to Yang Peng, the entire security department, and even the city defense department.

"Thank you, Uncle Yang..." Li Ming said.

"Don't thank me. It's useless for me to take this credit. It's you who deserves it." Yang Peng said with a smile, "The Minister will issue you the City Guard Rookie Badge, and you can become a regular employee directly."

"Of course, there is also a bonus of 50,000 star coins."

I was so sleepy that I came to the pillow.

Although Li Ming was forced to acknowledge the credit at that time, he could not conceal the fact that Pang Wenlong had returned, and he did not have time to completely destroy the other party's body. He could only choose to try his best to control the outcome.

Now it seems that there are at least some benefits, but... so much attention is bound to cause some unexpected situations.

For example...the person who killed Li Changhai.

"Go and get ready, the press conference will be at ten in the morning." Yang Peng said.

Li Ming nodded, stepped out, and returned to his seat. Li Ning came up to him immediately, "What do you mean?"

"What rookie badge, regularization, 50,000 star coins." Li Ming said briefly.

"What!?" Li Ning widened his eyes, attracting the attention of people nearby.

Many people heard Li Ming's words, and their eyes became complicated, with envy mixed with other emotions.

Many of them were still assistant guards for five or six years, and Li Ming had only been here for a few days? He had already far surpassed them.

"What's wrong?" Li Ming was puzzled.

"I graduated from the Capital Star Guard Academy, but I spent half a year as an intern before I was hired as a full-time employee." Li Ning's teeth were chattering: "How many days have you been here?"

"I see. It must be because the interstellar review team and the Blue Star escorts are coming soon. The minister must want to take this opportunity to promote it." Li Ning speculated, his face twisted: "You are really lucky!"

"The rookie badge is only awarded to those who have made special contributions to the city defense and are under 25 years old. You have a bright future ahead of you."

"What specific use does it have?" Li Ming never knew.

"Keep your voice down. If you continue like this, I won't be able to help but beat you up." Li Ning felt a lump in his throat, and everyone around him felt bad too.

"It has many uses. To give the simplest example, once you have trained to the point where you can fuse F-level gene seeds, you will most likely be able to get a spot directly without having to wait in line." This is why Li Ning was envious and jealous.

Li Ming suddenly understood. No wonder the people around him looked like they wanted to swallow him up.

"Even when your F-level gene seeds are developed to 100%, there will be bonuses when you queue up for E-level gene seeds." Li Ning added:
"That's too far off. Anyway, your F-rank gene-seed is definitely set in stone."

　Tuesday is another life-and-death moment. Thank you for your support. It would be even better if you could vote. Thank you for your support.
