I am the highest civilization in the universe

As soon as Meng Lianyi left, only Li Ming and Hu Kai were left in the room.

Li Ming stared at Hu Kai with his eyes and said, "Your foreign client bought the steel slag you bought from the Red Dragon Steel Plant at a high price, and also went to the suburbs of our T City in the deep mountains to the south to look for meteorites. This client paid you a high price to help him go to the southwest of Z City to find another meteorite. In order to make money, you didn't even care about your arm injury and left the hospital early."

"Then you lied to Meng Lianyi that you wanted to compensate her for going to find meteorites. In fact, it was all for your own interests, right, Hu Kai." Li Ming continued.

"You...how do you know...I didn't say..." Hu Kai's absent-minded eyes kept turning, and he didn't even dare to look at Li Ming. His panic expression showed a bit of uneasiness. Fortunately, he had a high psychological quality and didn't make any excessive physical movements.

But every sentence and every word of Li Ming spoke out Hu Kai's true thoughts. Hu Kai listened with a look of shock on his face, and even looked at Li Ming's face with some horror.

"You asked me to come here because you still hold a grudge against me for injuring you. It just so happens that your foreign friend brought a powerful bodyguard with him. You wanted me to fight him so that the bodyguard of that foreign friend could help you vent your anger and let me suffer a little. Besides, Meng Lianyi did ask me to go to Z City with her, which just happened to agree with your wishful thinking." Li Ming continued.

These words revealed the other party's true thoughts. The fear of being seen through and spoken directly by others immediately appeared on Hu Kai's face, and beads of sweat as big as beans flowed down his cheeks.

Is this a human? Is this possible? How could an idea that has never been told to anyone be revealed by the other party in one sentence? What is going on?

Hu Kai's expression was dull, and he couldn't say a word. His blurred eyes kept avoiding Li Ming's eyes.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open. Meng Lianyi had returned and sat in the original position. However, she was puzzled when she saw Hu Kai's expression and the sweat on his face. She quickly took out a piece of paper from the table and wiped it for him, saying, "What's wrong with you? I just went out to answer a phone call. Why are you sweating all over your forehead and your face is so pale? Do you want to go back to the hospital?" Hu Kai took the tissue with his left hand and wiped his own face. His hands trembled a little, and he shook his head repeatedly and whispered, "No, I'm fine, no need." Li Ming looked at Meng Lianyi again, smiled slightly, and said, "Hu Kai just told me his ideas. He will arrange the trip to City Z, and starting tomorrow Hu Kai also plans to hire me as his bodyguard, which can be regarded as a job for the unemployed. At the same time, he also wants me to go to see that foreign friend together." "You should go too. I heard that the foreign friend also has a bodyguard. It's just right for me to learn from him, right Hu Kai." Li Ming said lightly. Meng Lianyi was confused, smiled bitterly, and said, "Are you kidding? Li Ming? I've worked with you for so long, but I haven't seen you have the potential to be a bodyguard."

Li Ming continued to smile lightly and said, "That was before, it's different now."

"Ah... that, the bodyguard thing is not urgent, let's talk about it later. I have booked a room in the hotel. I heard that your community has a power outage and a fire. You stay here for one night first, and you don't have to live in that community in the future. I will find you a better place." Hu Kai suddenly said.

Li Ming suddenly looked at Hu Kai and said, "The bodyguard thing can't be delayed. It's settled. You have to sign a contract with me tomorrow. I won't do it if the salary is too low."

"Okay, okay, whatever you say, it's what you say." Hu Kai said quickly.

Meng Lianyi on the side looked confused, not knowing what happened between the two just now, and her eyes kept looking at Hu Kai. The words just now were not like the usual tone of this young and promising young man.

"Take your time to eat. I'll leave first." Li Ming stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing this, Hu Kai quickly came to the door and opened it, and said, "Lianyi, wait here for a while. I'll take Li Ming upstairs to rest."

Li Ming originally planned to go home, but when he thought about the house he rented, he might as well stay in this hotel for one night. Anyway, Hu Kai would pay for it.

Hu Kai took Li Ming all the way to the tenth floor of the hotel and took Li Ming to a room that had been booked in advance.

The rooms here cost thousands of yuan every night. They are luxurious, but also very comfortable. Although Li Ming is a fourth-level civilization higher than humans, he cannot get rid of human nature before reaching the seventh level. This kind of comfortable place is naturally satisfactory.

Hu Kai looked at Li Ming's satisfied expression, and just when he was about to say something, Li Ming suddenly said, "You don't need to ask. I am serious about being your bodyguard. Although I told you your true thoughts, I didn't mean to reject you. You can continue to do what you want." Hu Kai was shocked again, because Hu Kai was just about to ask Li Ming if Li Ming was serious about being a bodyguard, but he didn't expect Li Ming to tell Hu Kai's true thoughts again. Hu Kai had designed a perfect set of rhetoric since he called Li Ming to come over. He thought his idea was perfect, because he also learned from Meng Lianyi that Li Ming had just been fired by the company and had no job. He was an outsider. Not only did he rent a house here, but he also rented the car in installments.

In this case, Li Ming would most likely agree to the request of Hu Kai's bodyguard, and then use the gimmick of a sparring match to let Li Ming confront the foreign bodyguard. As Li Ming, he must not be the opponent of a professional bodyguard. In this way, it is also considered as a benefit to himself. He vented his anger and avenged his injured arm. On the other hand, it also made Li Ming suffer a little. Afterwards, he fired Li Ming and let the other party know the consequences of provoking him.

But now his script is inexplicably known to Li Ming, but the other party continues to act according to his intentions, leaving Hu Kai a little confused.

Li Ming walked around the room, very satisfied with the environment and facilities here, because Li Ming had never stayed in such a high-end hotel. After checking, Li Ming showed a somewhat satisfied smile and said: " You can follow your original plan for tomorrow and the rest of the trip. Don't make any changes. You are a businessman and you can calculate many things better than others. But let me remind you that things can be calculated, people. You can never calculate."

Hu Kai looked at Li Ming's confident look and nodded gently, and said, "Okay, since you said so, I will have someone send you the contract tomorrow. As for the subsequent arrangements, we can make decisions based on the situation."

Li Ming glanced at Hu Kai and said seriously: "The matter of bodyguards and going to Z city cannot be delayed for a minute. It is not based on the situation, but arranged immediately."

Hu Kai squirmed a little when he heard that, feeling that the other party seemed to be ordering him, but Hu Kai didn't show it right away. Anyway, Li Ming also agreed to be a bodyguard, and also knew that he wanted to compete with the foreign bodyguard, so we'll see tomorrow. Let’s see what kind of goods Li Ming is.

"Okay, okay, I'll find someone to make arrangements right away." After Hu Kai finished speaking, he turned and left.

Li Ming looked at the night sky outside the window, sat down on the sofa, and turned on the TV.

After Hu Kai went downstairs, he returned to his private room. Meng Lianyi was playing with her mobile phone and eating the food on the table. When she saw Hu Kai, she said casually: "What did you say when you went up and took so long? Why?" Yes, what does it mean to ask Li Ming to be your bodyguard?"

Hu Kai came to his seat and sat down. He sighed slightly and began to think wildly in his head. After glancing at Meng Lianyi, he did not answer directly, but asked: "Are you familiar with this Li Ming? Has he ever practiced martial arts?"

"Didn't I tell you? No one in our company knows him better than me. He has never even been to the gym, let alone practicing martial arts." Meng Lianyi said.

Hu Kai was even more puzzled after hearing this.

Meng Lianyi pushed Hu Kai with her hand and said, "You haven't answered me yet. What do you mean by asking him to be a bodyguard? Why are you competing with foreigners? Don't you want to punish him? Let me tell you, Fortunately, he sent me back that night, otherwise I would definitely break up with you. You'd better not make any mistakes. You have to thank him. "

Hu Kai touched his forehead with his left hand, took a deep breath, and said: "I had a crooked idea at first, then I lost it, and now he has it again."

"What do you mean? Why am I getting more and more confused the more I listen?" Meng Lianyi asked in confusion.

Hu Kai glanced at Meng Lianyi. Naturally, he did not dare to express his obscene thoughts. If Meng Lianyi knew that he wanted to harm Li Ming, his image would be completely ruined.

"Okay, okay, let's eat. I'll take you home after eating. Don't ask. There's nothing else to do now." Hu Kai declined casually and picked up his chopsticks.

Hu Kai's words and deeds today seemed a bit abnormal to Meng Lianyi, but he was not in the mood to ask more questions, so he just hummed and continued eating.

At this time, Li Ming, who was upstairs, was leaning on the sofa, with his legs squared on the soft seat. It was a bit more comfortable than on the bed. The TV content in front of him did not require manual operation, and could be switched freely with Li Ming's consciousness. .

Not only the TV, but also Li Ming can freely operate the switches of all electrical appliances in the house with his own consciousness. This ability makes Li Ming feel more comfortable and useful.

I feel like a magician. This feeling of dominance can be described in just one word, cool!

However, while doing this, Li Ming also discovered a serious problem, which is the consumption of energy in the body. It feels like eating and drinking water, the most common daily meal for humans. Only when food and water are adequately supplied can humans have enough energy. The spirit and strength to work, and after overwork, hunger will also appear.

As a fourth-order civilization, Li Ming is somewhat different from humans. The lack of energy will produce a feeling of emptiness, which is like having a lot of strength but not being able to use it.

Although Li Ming doesn't have a strong sense of emptiness yet, Li Ming knows very well that if his ability continues to be abused, that feeling will not be far away. If he absorbs the city's power excessively again, it will inevitably give the entire city power. people cause damage.

After all, this is Li Ming's home planet, so saving energy is still critical and necessary.

Thinking of this, Li Ming's whole body slowly relaxed, and he no longer used that ability at will. He lay quietly with his eyes half-closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.
