This is not mechanical ascension.

It was said to be a press conference at 10 o'clock, but they were already in place at 9:30.

The minister of the City Health Department is a gray-haired old man named Qin Xiao. He is smiling and makes a good first impression.

"Young man, you are very good, very courageous." He said with a smile, followed by several middle-aged people, including the security department, internal affairs department... several section chiefs.

"It's all the fault of the minister's leadership." Li Ming said solemnly. The smile on Qin Xiao's face became even stronger. He pointed at him and said to the people around him, "You are a smooth-tongued boy."

"Don't be nervous later, tell the truth." Qin Xiao said kindly, then turned and left.

Among the several section chiefs, only the security section chief, Wang Shoucheng, nodded to him. The other section chiefs did not even look at him.

They all knew what was going on. It was just a lucky boy who happened to bump into this stall. It was nothing worth worrying about.

Then, a woman with exquisite makeup came over. Minister Qin’s secretary, wearing smart business attire, with black stockings submerged in a hip-covering skirt, handed over the manuscript with a smile: "Please correct it, don't remember it wrong later."

Li Ming was not surprised at all. He took it and looked at it carefully.

…

"Minister Qin, I heard that this human smuggling involves three races and more than fifty people. It is the largest smuggling and trafficking incident in Silver Gray Star in recent years."

A reporter held up the microphone and asked a very pointed question, "Why do you think a human smuggling case of this scale occurred under your protection?"

Qin Xiao's expression remained unchanged: "The evil in human hearts is immeasurable. Silver Gray Star has no air and sky shield, and most spaceships can take off and land without passing through the star port. This has become a breeding ground for evil."

"But I have never forgotten my original intention since taking office..."

This is not the first time he has held a press conference. He can find a suitable angle to deal with many pointed questions. It is not his problem anyway.

“…”

Qin Xiao looked around, the camera pointed at him: "What makes me happy is that even if sin never stops, there are strong saplings growing on the soil of justice."

Many reporters wrote vigorously -

【shock! Minister Qin said that evil cannot be contained! 】

[Compared with sin, justice is just a seedling! 】

"Li Ming!" Qin Xiao's voice became louder, "I just joined the City Guard a few days ago. This honest and brave young man has demonstrated the fearless demeanor of the City Guard..."

"...The main culprit this time was killed by him. After research, it was decided to award him the Silver Gray City Guard Rookie Badge!"

Warm applause rang out from both sides. It was the atmosphere group. Although the clapping was loud, their expressions were not that cheerful.

"Is he Yang Peng's nephew?"

"I heard that he didn't do anything at all and picked up the body of a Pangwenlong for nothing."

"Stop talking nonsense. It was obviously Yang Peng who killed Pang Wenlong and gave him the credit."

"..."

It was already the second morning of the operation, and most of what happened that day had been spread in various forms and was no longer a secret.

But it is precisely because of this that rumors are everywhere.

Li Ming, neatly dressed in blue and black city guard uniform, stepped forward, standing upright with firm eyes.

Qin Xiao awarded him a badge, a silver and gray planet badge, about the size of a palm.

The camera flashed wildly at this moment.

………

In the bizarre jump channel, a silver-white gull-wing spacecraft is passing through.

"Captain..." The short man holding a smart terminal came hurriedly in the corridor. Several people in the cabin glanced at him.

The short man's eyes fell on the slightly older figure, holding an old-fashioned pipe in his left hand and blowing out a thin puff of smoke, "What's the matter?"

"Look..." The short man created a virtual projection, which was Li Ming's speech:

"...Silver Gray City is the place where I was born and raised. I deeply love this land..."

"This is not..." The old man with a gun frowned.

"That's him, the son of Target No. 3447. He has now joined the City Guard and is taken seriously."

"I just said that we need to get rid of the roots. We can kill them together at that time." The young man playing with a dagger in the corner said.

"Intelligence assessment shows that he poses no threat." Another person said coldly: "The more people you kill, the greater the possibility of exposure."

"He killed an F-class life form." The dwarf added.

The old smoker couldn't calm down at this moment, and his brows were furrowed.

"It's just a pick-up. I'm lucky. I don't have enough strength. You see..." the short man asked.

The old man with a gun said thoughtfully: "Since he is highly valued by the city guards, it is inevitable that one day he will be curious about his father's death, and further investigate. Let's go back."

"It's just a little guy. You don't have to go back. I can go by myself." The young man in the corner was playing with a dagger and said casually: "It takes a lot of time to go back and forth. You can go to the next target first."

The old smoker rubbed the handle of his cigarette and nodded slowly: "That's fine."

………

"Li Ming, did you transfer my money?" Li Ning kicked up his legs, slid his seat over, and tilted his head to ask.

"Yes, the bonus has come down, it's time to give the money back to you." Li Ming nodded.

"Why did you transfer 20,000 to me and I lent you 20,000." Li Ning frowned and wanted to pay back the extra 1,000 immediately.

"I told you, it's just interest." Li Ming didn't like owing favors to others.

"Your calculation of interest is too outrageous. You don't calculate loan sharks like this. It's only a few days and it's a thousand interest." Li Ning was speechless and turned back, "Can you treat me to a meal sometime?"

"That's...okay." Li Ming didn't want to give in to each other.

The dim sunset was like water waves, emitting a lazy glimmer.

When Li Ming went out, he saw Yang Yu waiting for him at the door, wearing a knee-length white skirt and long hair fluttering in the breeze.

"Why are you here?" Li Ming asked after taking a look.

"What do you think?" Yang Yu said to Li Ming with dissatisfaction: "Didn't you say yesterday that there was no danger?"

"A white lie." Li Ming explained, "I'm not going home, you go first."

Yang Yu looked at him: "You want to pick up trash? Can I go with you?"

"It's up to you." Li Ming didn't care. This time he got off work at a normal time, so he couldn't delay too long. He could only pick up trash for three hours, 20 metal energy points, and a ton of materials.

The guard's eyes were full of incomprehension. Bringing a girl here for a date?

"You come here after work?"

On the way back to the transport vehicle, Yang Yu smelled the rust on his body, "What's so fun about this?"

"That means you are not the target audience." Li Ming shrugged, Yang Yu sighed, his thoughts changed very quickly, and complained: "My dad asked me to choose gene seeds, what about the Fiery Monkey, the Gargoyle... None of them sound good."

They are all elemental level, rich and powerful, Li Ming subconsciously thought, and then asked: "By the way, when will you start school?"

"Early October, it's still early."

Li Ming was concerned about the zirconium crystal alloy that arrived in the middle of the night, and was absent-minded, mostly talking about Yang Yu.

After a simple meal at Yang's house, he went home.
