This is not mechanical ascension...

Chapter 88 Blue Star is paying attention! Who is Li Ming? He is like a machine with precise settings
"I can't give up on the matter of stacking control objects. The things I buy can be reimbursed in the laboratory. Although I can't be without restraint, I can still make some money." Li Ming pondered and planned to go out for a walk tomorrow.

But Blue Star is not a small place. It takes at least four or five hours to go out.

Time was not valuable before, but now time...

"I need to find someone to help me buy things, and I have to pay for it myself first..." A figure appeared in his mind - Zhang Huaiyuan.

With his current reputation, it would be easy for him to find people to do work for him, but he is unfamiliar with the place, and the people he recruits are most likely recruited by other companies.

Zhang Huaiyuan and his people are somewhat trustworthy.

Besides, he was still a rich man. It wouldn't be a big problem if he just said hello to his family, moved Li Ming out, and took out a million star coins to pay for it.

Thinking of this, he simply opened the Star Network and sent a message to Zhang Huaiyuan.

"exist?"

"Yes, Brother Ming." Zhang Huaiyuan responded quickly.

"Come to my place tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you."

"no problem."

After going over what he needed to do next in his mind, Li Ming lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

As night fell, although he fell asleep, the outside world was still bustling, especially the local star network of Blue Star, which was in an uproar.

[Who is Li Ming, who ranked first in the Capital University of Technology's opening exam?! ]

[A little-known country boy defeated the disciples of the powerful and became the number one! ]

The Capital University of Technology's entrance examination has always attracted much attention over the years, and there are even handicaps in secret to bet on who will come in first.

The favorite this year is Rosser. His family background, development potential and personal strength are beyond doubt.

No one expected such an upset. The highly anticipated Rosser was killed instantly without even the power to resist.

There were many media reporters broadcasting live, and videos of the battle were floating all over the sky.

The bored citizens of Blue Star were extremely excited.

The story of a poor boy who came from a poor family and became famous overnight always attracts a lot of attention.

Because most ordinary people can see their own shadow in him.

Trampling those high-ranking powerful children underfoot stimulates the hormones of countless people.

"He has become Professor Wu's student. I didn't expect to alarm Professor Wu. He has not made any move for many years."

"..."

Many people quickly posted pictures of the scene, especially the one where Rosser was lying on the ground, looking at himself on the projection screen, and added various words -
Dude, you're beat?

What, you too?

The star network covers the entire interstellar space, and local civilizations have only limited management authority and cannot restrict speech.

In the second half of the night, this piece of news had already topped the discussion list on Blue Star’s local star network.

Soon, everyone's attention shifted from this incident to Li Ming.

Everyone is curious about what kind of young man this is. He has terrifying development potential, powerful fighting power, and is destined to rise in the future.

"The only pity is that I became Professor Wu's student. He is a man who seeks fame and reputation. What do those guys from the Polytechnic University think?"

"Professor Wu, who is that?"

Many members of the new generation are very unfamiliar with Professor Wu, because in recent years Professor Wu has almost disappeared and no longer appears in the public eye.

Someone quickly spread some knowledge, causing a stir.

"I didn't expect that our Blue Star has produced such a great figure."

"Stop bragging. It's been proven false for years. It's embarrassing..."

Many people went to the local star network of Silver Gray Star to look for clues. The only thing they found related to Li Ming was the report on becoming a rookie in the City Guard.

"No way, how could he be a member of the city guards? How old is he? Shouldn't he receive compulsory education?"

Many people were puzzled, thinking that such an outstanding student must be very famous locally, but why is there only this one report?
Many sharp-sighted individual media outlets sensed something unusual, and some even set off for the Silver-Ash Star immediately.

It would be a shame not to take advantage of such popularity.

At eight o'clock in the morning, local time in Beijing South Star, the morning mist was thinning and the sun was rising slowly from the horizon. On their way to work, many people opened the Star Network and looked through the news they had not finished reading yesterday.

Almost the entire page was filled with Li Ming, and all media outlets were reporting on him, but the headlines had changed:
A news article titled "Lone Hero" quickly became the number one hot search half an hour after it was released.

This is a personal interview with Li Ming, which details Li Ming's growth process and trajectory.

"…My memory of my mother is vague, and I only heard about her from my father a few times…"

“…When I was twelve years old, my father, who had gone to serve in the military, came back and took me away from the orphanage…”

"…I can't help it. I don't dare. Those people hit me on the head and took away my lunch money for the week…I'm really scared…"

"…But I have to go even if I am afraid. I am a city guard, and this is my responsibility…"

"... "

As this news spread, the image of a poor, miserable boy who grew up in hardship came to life on the paper.

His mother died early, his father went to serve in the military, he was bullied as a child and at school. Just when his life started to improve, his father was in a car accident.

Then his personality changed drastically, and he somehow joined the City Guard, winning praise from many of his colleagues for his fearlessness and sense of responsibility.

The last picture was of Li Ming, who was bleeding but forcing a smile, standing in front of the alloy door with a dark back.

Li Ming is simply a combination of too many social hot spots, single-parent family, school bullying...

When countless people's curiosity about Li Ming reached its peak, this report came out of nowhere and hit everyone's mind accurately.

As a result, the crowd was very excited and many sentimental people even shed tears.

What's more, some people demanded a thorough investigation of the Yinhui City Education Department to give Li Ming justice.

It was only at this time that many people discovered that all five members of the Silver Gray City Management Committee had been replaced.

Then, this led to the Xingchuang incident that should have been buried, over-mining... ash sand disease...

More people were shocked by this and began to denounce Xingchuang Company, with all kinds of evildoers also vying to express their opinions.

Li Ming was completely unaware of this. It was a rare occasion that he woke up naturally. He looked at the time with sleepy eyes and was surprised.

"Nine o'clock?" He was a little confused and seriously suspected that he had been drugged. After sitting up from the bed, he felt full of energy.

He opened the room manual placed beside the bed and finally found the clue.

"Deep sleep aid, releases brain electromagnetic waves to help living beings enter deep sleep..."

"Tsk, there are so many fun things here." After finding the reason, Li Ming stretched his body, washed up, took out the smart terminal, and opened the Star Network.
A series of background information refreshes have long exceeded 999+.

"What the hell?" He was surprised and looked carefully, and found that most of them were interview requests sent to him by personal or official media.

There were some pretty outrageous remarks as well.

"Baby, you must have suffered a lot over the years..."

After taking a quick look, Li Ming was filled with black lines on his brow. He opened the background settings and blocked all unauthorized sources of information.

At the same time, set it to not allow others to add you as a friend unless you add others.

After cleaning the background with one click, it suddenly felt much clearer.

Only then did he realize that Zhang Huaiyuan had sent him a message at around six in the morning, saying that he had arrived.

"Sorry, I just woke up and will be out soon."

Li Ming replied, and the door of the room opened automatically. A figure stood in front of the door. He was wearing a white coat and a short skirt underneath, just revealing his knees and slender calves.

She has a delicate face, her hair tied on top of her head, her chin slightly raised, and she is holding a tablet terminal in her left hand.

"Li Ming?" She smiled and said, "Hello, I'm Li Ruoning, a research assistant in Professor Wu's laboratory. Professor Wu asked me to come here to help you get familiar with the laboratory. If you have any questions about the laboratory, you can ask me."

Li Ming looked her over and nodded, "Okay."

"I have a friend who came to see me earlier. He should be at the laboratory gate now."

"Understood." Li Ruoning clicked a few times on the tablet terminal, and a virtual projection popped up. It was a man with a square head and a big face: "Brother Zhou, did anyone come to see Li Ming this morning?"

Professor Wu’s laboratory has a privacy protection policy and will not appear on the map, so normal people cannot find it.

"There is one named Zhang Huaiyuan, but he didn't have an appointment, so I didn't let him in. He has to wait here," Brother Zhou responded.

"Have someone take him to the cafeteria. We should go eat later." Li Ruoning arranged.

"it is good."

She looked up and said, "I'll take you to the cafeteria. We'll meet there."

Li Ming took half a step back and followed Li Ruoning. The two chatted as they walked.

Li Ming was surprised when he heard this, "You are still a junior student at Capital University of Technology?"

"Yes, you are my senior, majoring in genetic biology, and I am here for an internship." Li Ruoning smiled.

"Then come over and show me the way, it won't waste time." Li Ming said casually.

"It won't delay me." Li Ruoning smiled bitterly: "I was just doing odd jobs originally."

"Doing odd jobs?"

Li Ruoning looked at Li Ming's slightly surprised expression and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "People are so different."

In order to get this place, she worked almost day and night and barely met the requirements.

And Li Ming could easily gain Professor Wu's attention.

The two arrived at the cafeteria, which was quite spacious, but they did not stay on the first floor and went straight to the third floor.

"Downstairs is where ordinary staff eat." Li Ruoning introduced that the place on the third floor is relatively small, and the virtual menu has a wide variety of items.

Li Ming ordered a few at random to taste, and the taste was indeed top-notch, and the nutrients contained were no worse than those of Class F nutrient solution.

"Well...several major media outlets have contacted our laboratory and want to do an exclusive interview with you. What do you think?" Li Ruoning asked, looking at the information.

"Is it good?" Li Ming scooped a large spoonful of purple jelly-like food and stuffed it into his mouth. It was chewy and bouncy.

"They are all big media, and the advantage is that they can increase your popularity, but with your current popularity, you don't need them. I'll help you promote them." Li Ruoning saw Li Ming's resistance and simply said. "Are you well-known?" Li Ming looked up at her.

"Today, you are the most watched person in the entire Blue Star civilization." Li Ruoning pinched the virtual screen in his hand and then projected it in front of Li Ming.

"A lone hero..." Li Ming looked at the report, which was different from the first version he saw, with many more details.

Li Ruoning clicked on the screen: "Blue Star Times really got the point this time. The reporter of this report must have had contact with you, otherwise it would not be possible to write it in such detail."

"Yes, I have indeed come into contact with him." Li Ming nodded and continued to eat his meal with his head down.

"you are not happy?"

Li Ruoning's eyes were full of wonder. Li Ming's reaction was beyond her expectations. She thought Li Ming would be somewhat excited, after all, this was not just a simple sensation.

Instead, it goes straight to the sky. This report is amazing.

"It's just a temporary hot topic. It will fade away in a few days." Li Ming said in a flat tone. Instead, he was thinking, the matter of Xingchuang Company has been brought up again. They must be very unhappy.

Li Ruoning was greatly surprised. This was true, but few people could see it clearly.

"Here..." Li Ming suddenly raised his hand. At the stairs, Zhang Huaiyuan was looking around, seeming a little nervous and uneasy.

Seeing Li Ming waving his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief and hurried over, greeted Li Ruoning, and sat down next to him.

"Whatever you want to eat, just order."

"No, I've already eaten." Zhang Huaiyuan declined.

Li Ming ordered a few things at random, and then he looked at Li Ruoning, who had excellent eyesight, and immediately stood up and said, "I'll wait downstairs."

The white coat brought a fragrant breeze.

"Brother Ming, what do you want me to do?" Zhang Huaiyuan was both nervous and expectant.

"It's like this, I want to buy something, but I can't get away from here, so I'd like to ask you for help and send it over after you buy it." Li Ming said, and he moved aside, and the dishes they had just ordered came up.

"Buying things? No problem, leave it to me." Zhang Huaiyuan patted his chest and guaranteed without hesitation.

"You can use the laboratory's account. Remember to ask them to issue an invoice. However, you need to advance the funds first, and you can only be reimbursed after you send it over." Li Ming added, motioning Zhang Huaiyuan to eat.

"No problem." Zhang Huaiyuan still did not hesitate. He was eager to have more contact with Li Ming. Although he did not have that much money, his father would not hesitate if he told him about it.

"If you need anything, just let me know."

After the discussion, Zhang Huaiyuan took two bites and his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly finished the rest and couldn't help burping.

The two went downstairs, and Li Ming asked Li Ruoning to register Zhang Huaiyuan and report to the finance department at the same time.

Afterwards, Li Ruoning brought Li Ming to the training room, which was more high-end and had many staff members ready to assist at any time.

"I'm not going anywhere else for now. I'm going to start exercising right away." Li Ming asked Li Ruoning to go and do his work. If he needed anything, he could come to him.

"Sir, I am the assistant trainer here, and I am ready to assist you with your training needs at any time." A thin middle-aged man came up with a respectful look:
"Your information has been synchronized. Are you using the Thunder Sixteen-style Body Building Method now?"

"Not bad." Li Ming nodded.

"Let me adjust the training environment for you." He clicked on the operating table next to him, and the interior of the training cabin was quickly filled with electric arcs.

Li Ruoning did not leave, but stood aside.

"This must be Li Ming." A gentle voice came. Li Ruoning glanced sideways and immediately said, "Director Luo."

The man was wearing glasses and had a turtleneck sweater wrapped around his neck. He exuded an aura that made people want to get close to him.

Luo Chuan is Professor Wu's chief disciple. When he followed Professor Wu, Professor Wu was just an ordinary teacher.

"He is indeed determined. I heard that he hardly showed up on the spacecraft when he came here. He has been developing gene seeds the whole time." Luo Chuan said with approval in his eyes.

Li Ruoning was a little confused, Luo Chuan shrugged: "The Starnet even revealed which spaceship he was on, and even the video."

She smiled.

"The Sixteen Thunder Moves are not easy. When the teacher gave it to him, he wasn't afraid that he would make mistakes. How could he do it without someone watching him?" Luo Chuan complained a little.

Li Ruoning didn't say anything. Luo Chuan could speak, but she could only listen.

"Lao Xu, go and take a look. You have the best eyesight." Luo Chuan spoke, and a rather old staff member walked out from the side.

"There is a virtual projection, just follow it and practice." Lao Xu, who was of high status, muttered a few words.

"Virtual projection can only show the shape, but there are many key points that cannot be displayed by projection," Luochuan emphasized.

Lao Xu had already walked to the front of the training cabin, but he did not go in immediately. Instead, he watched through the thick glass cabin.

At first he was a little nonchalant, but as Li Ming began to perform, his expression gradually changed, and finally became completely solemn, with his brows twisted into a river shape.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan walked up quickly, "Old Xu, how is his training going? What went wrong?"

"A mistake?" Old Xu suddenly realized, with surprise in his eyes, "It's not a mistake? How could there be a mistake?"

"It's just, it's just..."

"What happened? Tell me quickly." Luo Chuan said in a deep voice.

"It's perfect." Lao Xu's words stunned Luochuan.

"Perfection doesn't look like something a human could do." Old Xu frowned. "You should know that this kind of training method is simulated through data and then tested on human bodies."

"The problem is that humans are not machines and there will always be deviations, but the synchronization rate between it and the virtual projection is 100%, almost like they were cut from the same mold."

"No, I have to take another look." He concentrated, turned on a few more devices and looked at them carefully.

About half an hour later, he looked as if his worldview had been shattered.

"How could there be such a person? Is he sure he is not a mechanically modified body?" Lao Xu couldn't understand.

"Maybe he is a genius. We can see it at a glance. People who are favored by Professor Wu have more than just potential for development." Li Ruoning said.

"It's not that he's a genius, he's the kind of, the kind of..." Old Xu sucked his teeth and said, "Just now, through bioelectric detection, I found that at every bioelectric node of the 16 Thunderbolt Styles, the intensity and timing of stimulating cells are all perfect."

"And as time went by, his movements didn't change at all, not even the bending of a knuckle."

"It's like a programmed machine. I can't see the energy of a genius, only extremely precise movements."

"And this situation does not exist in theory at all."

Li Ruoning found it difficult to understand what he said. Luo Chuan pushed his glasses, seeming to be thinking about something.

"That's normal. Except for me, who else doesn't have some ability to be favored by the teacher?" Luo Chuan's voice suddenly rose.

Lao Xu wanted to say something, but when he saw Luo Chuan's eyes, he agreed: "That's true. I'm just surprised by what I've seen."

There are so many people here and so many things can't and shouldn't be said.

.........

"A machine with precise settings?" Professor Wu tapped on the table. What was playing in front of him was the scene of Li Ming exercising through the Sixteen Thunder Moves.

"Yes, Lao Xu said that he had never seen such a person." Luo Chuan nodded.

Is this the peculiarity of life forms with the potential for genetic purification?

He was also surprised that only more than a month had passed since he handed over the Sixteen Thunder Styles to Li Ming.

This level of learning progress and control is terrifying.

"I understand. Tell him not to go to the public training room in the future," Professor Wu warned.

"Understood." Luo Chuan nodded and continued, "Also, there is a problem in the Heluo Star System. Someone has released a biological virus. The Privy Council would like to invite you to go there."

"They didn't remember me before, but after Li Ming's incident, they remembered me." Professor Wu frowned and said, "No."

"If you don't go, next year's funding will continue to be cut." Luo Chuan said helplessly.

Professor Wu's face turned cold, "I know."

……

In the jump channel, a black shuttle-shaped spaceship is sailing.

"minister…"

In the cabin, a middle-aged man walked over quickly, holding a virtual screen in his hand. "We have almost figured out the situation. The temporary minister Yang Peng has a high reputation."

"Professor Wu did praise him a few times, but that was all. Secretary-General Fan never contacted this person again after he returned."

"The prestige is very high. How high is it?" The figure on the chair was wearing a suit and looked nonchalant.

"Rumor has it that he has a lot of evidence of corruption among the city guards, but he just kept it in his hands and never reported it."

"So that's how it is." He sneered, "I hope he understands that there can't be two tigers in one mountain."

"But..." the subordinate hesitated, "His daughter is a student at Capital University of Technology."

The new minister paused for a moment and said, "Capital University of Technology has 10,000 students enrolled and 10,000 students graduating every year. Although the number is not large, it is not a small number either."

"Forget it, he has made a contribution after all. If he knows what's best for him, the section chief can just sit back for now."

"There is one more thing." The subordinate said cautiously.

"explain."

"Do you know Li Ming, who has been receiving much attention recently?"

"Li Ming?" He frowned. "Of course I know. He is from Silver Ash Star and is serving in the Silver Ash City Guard. As the new head of the City Guard, I must pay attention to him."

After he finished speaking, he had a bad feeling in his heart and looked up suddenly, "Don't tell me that Li Ming has any relationship with this Yang Peng."

The subordinate said helplessly: "That's right. The two families are old friends. Yang Peng's father regards Li Ming as his grandson. Li Ming was arranged by Yang Peng to join the city guard."

"In addition, Yang Peng's daughter Yang Yu and Li Ming grew up together."

The new minister stood up suddenly, his expression changing constantly, pacing back and forth, and finally forcing a smile:
"I am not familiar with Silver Ash City after all, so I still need to listen to the advice of the elders. Let me send a message to Yang Peng first. I want to treat him to a meal before the inauguration ceremony."

……

At around nine o'clock in the evening, the development progress reached 71%. Li Ming received the news that Zhang Huaiyuan had rushed over under the cover of night with a batch of iron boxes.

"So quick?" Li Ming was surprised and quickly met Zhang Huaiyuan.

There were ten iron boxes on the open space in the laboratory. Zhang Huaiyuan patted one of the boxes and said, "Forty pairs of magnetic boots, all here."

　It's another hard day, please vote! Thank you for your support!
