Upon opening his eyes, Li Ming found himself in a turbulent interstellar era. Countless civilizations wielded their hunting rifles, eyeing everything in the universe with predatory gazes, and his m...
Chapter 88 Blue Star is watching! Who is Li Ming? He is like a machine with precise settings
"I can't give up on the matter of superimposing control objects. The things I buy can be reimbursed in the laboratory. Although I can't spend without restraint, I can still make some money." Li Ming pondered and decided 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 there.
Time was worthless 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 is still a rich man. It is not a big problem for him to just say hello to his family, move Li Ming out, and take 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, the top scorer in the Capital University of Technology's opening exam?!]
[A little-known country boy defeated the disciples of the powerful and reached the top! ]
The Capital University of Technology's opening exams have always attracted much attention over the years, and there are even handicaps in secret to bet on who will come in first.
This year's favorite is Rosser. His family background, development potential, and personal strength are all beyond doubt.
No one expected such an upset. The highly anticipated Rosser was killed instantly without even having the strength to resist.
There were many media reporters present to broadcast the battle live, and the battle videos were 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 suddenly became famous always attracts a lot of attention.
Because most ordinary people can see their own shadow in him.
Trampling on 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 been active for many years."
“…”
Many people quickly posted pictures of the ghost, especially the picture of Rosser lying on the ground, looking at himself on the projection of the sky screen, and even added various texts -
Dude, you're beat?
What, you too?
The star network covers the 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 the Blue Star local 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, strong fighting power, and is destined to rise in the future.
"The only pity is that I became Professor Wu's student. He's just a fame-seeker. What are those guys at the Polytechnic University thinking?"
"Professor Wu, who is that?"
Many young people are very unfamiliar with Professor Wu because he has almost disappeared in recent years and no longer appears in public.
Someone quickly popularized the knowledge, causing a stir.
"I didn't expect that such a great figure would emerge from our Blue Star."
"Stop bragging. It's been disproven 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 could find related to Li Ming was the report about becoming a rookie in the city defense.
"No way, how could he be from the city guards? How old is he? Shouldn't he receive compulsory education?"
Many people were puzzled, thinking that such an amazing student must be very famous locally, but why was there only this one report?
Many astute individual media outlets sensed something unusual, and some even immediately set off for Silver-Ash Star.
It would be a shame not to take advantage of such popularity.
At eight o'clock in the morning, local time in Jingnanxing, the morning mist was thin 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 that they had not finished reading yesterday.
Almost the entire page was devoted to 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, having only heard about her sporadically from my father a few times..."
“…When I was twelve, my father, who had gone off to serve in the military, returned and took me 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, even if I'm afraid, I have to go. I'm a city guard, and this is my responsibility..."
“…”
As this news spread, the image of a poor, hard-pressed boy who grew up in misery came to life on the page.
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 was finally starting to get better, his father was in a car accident.
Then his personality changed drastically, and he somehow joined the City Guards, winning praise from many of his colleagues for his fearlessness and sense of responsibility.
The last picture was of Li Ming in front of the alloy door. He was covered in blood but was forcing a smile against the dark back.
Li Ming simply combines too many social hot spots, single-parent families, school bullying...
When countless people's curiosity about Li Ming reached its peak, this report suddenly appeared and accurately nailed everyone's mind.
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 Silver Ash City Education Department and justice for Li Ming.
It was only at this time that many people discovered that all five members of the Silver Ash City Management Committee had been replaced.
This then led to the Star Creation incident, which should have been buried. Over-mining... ash sand disease...
More people were shocked by this and began to denounce Xingchuang Company, and all kinds of monsters and demons also rushed to express their opinions.
Li Ming was completely unaware of this. It was a rare occasion for him to wake 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 on the bedside table and finally found a 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 his smart terminal, and opened the Star Network -
A series of background information refreshes have long exceeded 999+.
"What the hell?" He was shocked and took a closer look. He found that most of them were interview requests from personal or official media.
There were also some outrageous remarks.
"Baby, you must have suffered a lot over the years..."
After taking a quick look, Li Ming frowned and opened the background settings to block 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 I'm going out now."
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 is tied on top of her head, her chin is slightly raised, and she is holding a tablet terminal in her left hand.
"Li Ming?" She smiled. "Hello, I'm Li Ruoning, a research assistant in Professor Wu's lab. Professor Wu asked me to come and help you get familiar with the lab. If you have any questions about the lab, 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 tapped a few times on the tablet terminal, and a virtual projection popped up. It was a square-headed, big-faced man. "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.
"good."
She looked up and said, "I'll take you to the cafeteria. We'll meet there."
Li Ming took a half 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 at Capital University of Technology?"
"Yes, you are my senior, a genetic biology student, 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 anyway."
"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 is full of items.
Li Ming randomly ordered a few to taste, and the taste was indeed top-notch, and the nutrients contained were no worse than F-grade 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 outlets. The advantage is that they can expand your visibility. However, with your current popularity, you don't need them. Let me help you promote them." Li Ruoning saw Li Ming's resistance and said simply.
"Is she very famous?" 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. "The Blue Star Times really nailed the point this time. The reporter for this report must have had contact with you before, otherwise they wouldn't have written it in such detail."
"Yes, I have come into contact with it." Li Ming nodded and continued to eat.
"Are you unhappy?"
Li Ruoning's eyes were full of wonder. Li Ming's reaction was beyond her expectations. She had thought that Li Ming would be somewhat excited. After all, this was not just a simple blockbuster.
Rather, 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 calm tone. Instead, he was thinking that the matter of Xingchuang Company had been brought up again. They must be very unhappy too.
Li Ruoning was greatly surprised. This was the truth, 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.
"Eat whatever you want."
"No, I've already eaten." Zhang Huaiyuan declined.
Li Ming ordered a few things at random, then 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 it's hard for me to get here, so I'd like to ask you for help and send it over after you buy it." Li Ming said, and moved sideways, 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, but 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 on him, his father would not hesitate if he told him about it.
"Just tell me if you need anything."
After the discussion, Zhang Huaiyuan took two bites, 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. The training room here was more high-end, and there were many staff members 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 about his business, and if he needed anything, he could come to him himself.
"Sir, I am the auxiliary training staff 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 currently using the Sixteen Thunder Body Building Techniques?"
"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 all the time." Luo Chuan said with approval in his eyes.
Li Ruoning was a little confused, and Luo Chuan shrugged: "The Starnet even found out which spaceship he was on, and even the video footage."
She smiled.
"The Sixteen Thunder Moves are not easy. When the teacher gave it to him, he wasn't worried 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 man walked out from the staff next to him.
"There's 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, and there are many key points that cannot be displayed by projection," Luo Chuan emphasized.
Lao Xu had already walked to the front of the training cabin, but 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 frown.
"What's wrong?" Luo Chuan walked up quickly. "Lao Xu, how's his training going? What went wrong?"
"Something went wrong?" Old Xu suddenly realized, with surprise in his eyes, "It's not a problem? How could it possibly go wrong?"
"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 Luo Chuan.
"Perfection doesn't seem human-made." Old Xu frowned. "You should know that this kind of training method is based on continuous simulation of data and human experiments."
"The problem is, humans are not machines, and there are always deviations, but the synchronization rate between it and the virtual projection is 100%, almost like they were cast from the same mold."
"No, I have to take another look." He concentrated and 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 can 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. He 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 about genius or not, he's that kind of, that kind of..." Old Xu sucked his teeth. "Just now, through bioelectrical testing, it was found that at every bioelectric node of the Sixteen Thunderbolt Styles, the intensity and timing of the cell stimulation were perfect."
"And as time went by, his movements didn't change at all, not even the bend of a knuckle."
"It's like a programmed machine. I can't see the energy of genius, only incredibly precise movements."
"And this situation doesn't exist in theory."
Li Ruoning found it difficult to understand what he said. Luo Chuan pushed his glasses, looking thoughtful.
"That's normal. Except for me, who else doesn't have some ability to be noticed by the teacher?" Luo Chuan's voice suddenly rose.
Lao Xu wanted to say something, but seeing Luo Chuan's eyes, he changed his tone and agreed, "Indeed, I'm just surprised by what I've seen so far."
There are so many people here and so many things gossips, there are many things that cannot and should not be said.
………
"A machine with precise settings?" Professor Wu tapped the tabletop. What was playing before his eyes 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. It had only been over a month 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 advised.
"I understand." Luo Chuan nodded and continued, "Also, there's 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 think of 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 understand."
…
In the jump channel, a black shuttle-shaped spacecraft is sailing.
"minister…"
Inside the cabin, a middle-aged man walked over quickly, holding a virtual screen in his hand. "We've pretty much figured out the situation. That temporary minister, Yang Peng, has a very 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's just holding it in his hands and never reported it."
"So that's how it is." He scoffed. "I hope he understands there's no room for two tigers in one mountain."
"But..." the subordinate said hesitantly, "His daughter is a student at Capital University of Technology."
The new minister paused for a moment. "Capital University of Technology enrolls 10,000 students and graduates every year. It's not a large number, but it's not a small number either."
"Forget it, he has made a contribution after all. If he knows what's good for him, Section Chief, just sit down for a while."
"There's one more thing." The subordinate said cautiously.
"explain."
"Do you know Li Ming, who has been attracting much attention recently?"
"Li Ming?" He frowned. "Of course I know. He's from Silver Ash Star and serves on the Silver Ash City Guard. As the new City Guard Minister, I must be keeping an eye on him."
After he finished speaking, he had a bad feeling in his heart and suddenly looked up, "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 treats Li Ming like his grandson. Li Ming was arranged by Yang Peng to join the city guard."
"Also, Yang Peng's daughter Yang Yu and Li Ming grew up together."
The new minister stood up suddenly, his expression changing constantly as he paced back and forth, finally forcing a smile.
"I'm not very familiar with Silver Ash City after all, so I need to listen to the elders' advice. 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.
Ten iron boxes were placed in the open space of the laboratory. Zhang Huaiyuan patted one of the boxes and said, "Forty pairs of magnetic boots, all here."
It's been another hard day, please vote! Thank you all for your support!
