This is not mechanical ascension.

"Chief Lin, this doesn't count as accepting bribes, does it?" Li Ming pondered.

"How can this count as accepting bribes?" Lin Yaoxian looked surprised, as if he didn't understand why Li Ming could ask such a question: "If you give it to me, it may be classified as a bribe. How can it be called a bribe when a superior sponsors a subordinate?"

"That's right." Li Ming nodded, and then opened his Star Network account without changing his expression.

This kid didn't hesitate at all, is it so natural? Lin Yaoxian cursed secretly, but his movements were smooth and smooth.

Li Ming glanced at it and raised his eyebrows slightly. Five hundred thousand star coins, he is really rich.

It doesn't look like much, but it's all visible.

"Thank you, Chief Lin." Li Ming said solemnly.

Although Lin Yaoxian felt painful, he also smiled happily. He was not afraid that Li Ming would not accept it, but he was afraid that Li Ming was the kind of young man who didn't know how to do it.

He also wanted to invite Li Ming to dinner, but Li Ming waved his hand to refuse after all. He asked which floor the Internal Affairs Department was on and stepped into the stairs.

…

"Brother Li..." Li Ning, who was walking with his head down, heard a familiar voice and suddenly looked up, with a look of surprise on his face: "Li Ming?"

"When did you become an F-class life form?" Li Ming sensed an unusual breath from Li Ning and asked as he walked.

"Not long ago, after all, Captain Yang is now Yang Ke." Li Ning winked. There were many people on the floor who greeted Li Ming. The faces were very familiar, and most of them were Yang Peng's old subordinates.

A new emperor has his own ministers, nothing more than this.

"Yang Ke's office is at the innermost. Originally, the section chief had a separate floor, but Yang Ke didn't want to go. He was too busy these two days. Yang Ke also served as the logistics section chief, and there was a shortage of manpower." Li Ning was talking while processing files on the smart terminal.

"Li Ming!" Lao Diao ran over. It seemed that he was really busy these two days, and his hair had fallen a lot.

"Brother Diao." Li Ming greeted him.

"Come and find Yang Ke." Lao Diao looked through the information and slapped Li Ning on the back of his head: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, you have to be careful, Yang Ke is not happy with you."

"Ah?" Li Ning next to him was a little confused, "Why, why didn't I see it."

"How many years have you been with Yang Ke?" Lao Diao sneered, and laughed: "You kid is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, be careful not to mess it up."

Li Ming was still a little confused, and he was speechless after hearing this. After a while of talking, the two went to their own work.

Li Ming knocked on Yang Peng's office, and an impatient voice came from it: "Come in..."

"...Tell him to find the former logistics chief. I don't recognize the contract he signed. The qualified rate of nutrient solution is less than 97%. How can we use you as a supplier..."

Yang Peng saw that it was Li Ming, and his expression changed a little. He cursed and ended the communication. After letting Li Ming sit down, he looked complicated.

"I haven't congratulated Uncle Yang yet." Li Ming spoke first.

"That's enough." Yang Peng waved his hand, "Don't I know what's going on? Are you and Secretary Fan okay?"

"What could it be?" Li Ming shook his head: "It's okay for others to spread rumors, but you actually believe them."

"Don't choke me." Yang Peng glared at him. He seemed to want to say something, but he just mumbled a few words and said, "I can't control your young people's affairs."

"Do you want to transfer to my Internal Affairs Department, or what? To the logistics department? You are too young, and it may be troublesome to be the head of the department."

"Uh..." Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "No, you should leave Silver Gray Star soon."

Yang Peng paused, not surprised: "I guessed it."

"By the way, Uncle Yang, did Tu Zheng and the others escape?" Li Ming finally said it.

Tu Zheng and the others still have a million-level reward on their heads, and no one has withdrawn it because Qin Xiao is temporarily detained.

"Well, they are well-informed, but the Sixth Patrol Fleet is still blocking the space channel, and they are still on the Silver Gray Star." Yang Peng said in a deep voice: "They can't run away."

Tu Zheng has Yang Peng's people around him, so he can't run away.

The two chatted for a while, and Li Ming learned that Yang Peng took Yang Yu and Yang Lao to the city guard.

As a section chief, his family members can enjoy special protection.

Leaving Yang Peng's office, Li Ming was ready to find Old Wu. When he passed the first floor, his expression paused slightly.

In the lounge area on the first floor, Xu Wei and Yang Yu were chatting and having a good time.

The hall was crowded with people, and the two did not notice him. Li Ming left on his own, found a secluded place to change his appearance, and came to the Silver City Hotel again.

This time, the people in charge of security were familiar with him, and no one took action again.

……

"Teacher." Li Ming sat opposite Professor Wu. Professor Wu put away the complicated holographic projection in front of him. Fang Biao stood in the distance, looking over curiously from time to time, and then quickly retracted his gaze.

"Are you satisfied with the development of the situation?" Professor Wu asked slowly.

"Teacher's hand is invisible, and the general situation is really admired by students." Li Ming said sincerely.

Professor Wu smiled faintly: "You are good at flattery."

He continued: "In addition, I have warned the Privy Council deacon through the beast tide, of course I didn't mention you, but they should not dare to come to Silver Gray Star again in a short time."

"After I leave, you don't have to worry about this matter."

Tsk... Is this the feeling of having a backer? Li Ming listened, and a big stone was put down in his heart.

"Of course, when they re-investigate this matter later, they will find your existence, but by then you will probably have entered Capital University of Technology and entered my laboratory."

"If there is another conflict, I will be able to handle it."

Old Wu arranged things clearly.

"Thank you, teacher." Li Ming said sincerely.

"Don't worry about it." Old Wu was very casual, "I asked you to come here this time mainly because we are leaving soon."

"Leaving?" Li Ming was quite surprised: "So soon."

"The reason why I came here is because of the game between Xingchuang Company and the top management. Now the game has come to an end, and there is no point in staying any longer." Old Wu explained briefly, and then asked: "How much is your development progress?"

"9%."

"Well... about the same as I estimated." Professor Wu nodded, and then took out a silver metal box from his feet, "This thing is for you."

"What is it?" Li Ming couldn't help asking.

"【Thunder Sixteen Exercises】"

"Exercise method?" Li Ming's heart moved slightly.

"It is a special training method used to assist in the development of gene seeds." Professor Wu explained: "There are thousands of life forms in the universe, with a wide variety of species, and humans are a large group."

"In addition to the basic development methods, there are many special training methods. It can deeply stimulate cells."

"RIT training method?" Li Ming suddenly realized.

"Yes, that is a more popular one. This one is a training method specifically used to stimulate the gene seeds related to the thunder element, as well as supporting equipment." Professor Wu further elaborated.

This advanced training method is not just about doing a few movements. It requires a specific current to stimulate a certain part of the body at a specific time to achieve the maximum effect.

It even requires the life form itself to mobilize its own bioelectric current to proceed synchronously, just like the internal power method.

According to Professor Wu, if the proficiency is high, it is enough to increase the development speed by 1.5 to 2 times.

That is, it can increase the speed by 150%-200%.

"Those powerful civilizations are really hard to guess." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes." Professor Wu agreed deeply.

Li Ming opened the metal box and took a look. It was a thumb-sized ball and a USB flash drive.

The U disk should be an action, but the ball surprised Li Ming--

[Thunder Sixteen-style Body Forging Equipment Ball--D-level: a special instrument used to assist the development of thunder element gene seeds.

Control conditions: 6,000 metal energy

Control effect: Thunder element control-150%

Control ability-Thunder Body Forging: can help the host perfectly perform the Thunder Sixteen-style training method. 】

This is also a controllable item, and it is also D-level.

The ability can help him perfectly perform this body forging method. According to Professor Wu, it can increase the development speed by up to twice.

This is not an intuitive blessing, but an increase using the body forging method, and the development progress blessing of other abilities will not be repeated.

The most important thing is that this thing is equivalent to a portable training room, which is too convenient.

"This body forging method is more difficult, but you have to practice more, master the tricks, and strive to use it proficiently before the start of the Capital University of Technology." Professor Wu reminded.

"Students understand." Li Ming nodded, and he took control when he returned.

"From here to the capital star, it takes half a month to take the fastest interstellar spaceship. If it's slower, it may take a month. Although the school starts in October, you need to arrive half a month in advance and leave in mid-August at the latest." Professor Wu thought very carefully.

"There is still half a month..." Li Ming nodded, and the time is enough.

"In fact, I really want to take you away directly." Professor Wu sighed.

"Teacher, it's enough." Li Ming smiled: "No one will notice me, this is the best."

Then, Li Ming implicitly expressed that he wanted to add a friend to pave the way for asking for star coins later. This body-building ball is quite precious, and the body-building style in it is even more precious.

Li Ming was embarrassed to ask for it, but Professor Wu refused.

Professor Wu shook his head: "The star network is not safe for me."

Through the star network, too much information can be investigated. Every civilized government has the right to retrieve data from the star network accounts registered within the civilization.

Li Ming did not mention the black hole network. Compared with the star network, the black hole network is not a good thing.

Star network access permissions at least require a process, but the black hole network does not require anything.

………

Leaving Professor Wu, Li Ming went for a walk. The high-level officials were treacherous, but the lives of most citizens of Silver Gray City were not disturbed.

"Boss, how much is the gene tester?" Li Ming walked into a store, where there were a variety of holographic projections of GGs, and the light pollution was very serious.

"Ordinary ones are 5,000, better ones are 10,000, and the best ones are 30,000..." The boss said lazily, looking at the hot girls on the holographic screen, and the music was extremely high.

Li Ming took a look, the ordinary ones were not in the grade, the better ones were F-grade, and the best ones were E-grade.

"It seems that there is a price difference to be made..." Li Ming realized that according to the calculation of going to the scrap recycling station.

One thousand points, thirty metal energy, from unclassified to F-grade, only thirty points are needed, and four thousand can be earned back and forth...

After calculating for a while, Li Ming smiled. He forgot to calculate the time value, and if he sold it personally, he would have to calculate it as second-hand, and the price would be greatly discounted.

If calculated based on the price of the black hole network, he would even lose money, unless he could create the most basic detection equipment from scratch.

It didn't matter if he wasted some time when the level was low before, but it's unnecessary now, it's better to develop more gene seeds.

Let's wait until the price difference reaches a certain level before thinking about it.

"Give me two of the best ones." Li Ming said, and the lazy boss instantly came to life, with a smile on his face, not caring about the hot girl.

After packing the two testing devices, he enthusiastically sent him out of the store and asked him to come again next time.

After a long absence, he returned home. Since he had the Thunder Equipment Ball, he didn't have to stay in the training room all the time.

He spent 6,600 points of metal energy to control both testing devices and the Thunder Equipment Ball, and there were about 6,400 points of metal energy left.

Two E-level testing devices, each of which can bless him by 60%, adding up to 120%. A D-level gene radiator, the effect and ability added up to 300%, which is 420%.

There is also [Thunder Sixteen Styles], which can bring about 200% blessing, that is, 620%.

Li Ming was quite excited by the sixfold development speed blessing.

Li Ming immediately activated the [Thunder Body Forging] ability, and then his limbs became uncontrollable. His hands were spread out, three fingers of his left hand were curled inward, his elbows were turned outward, and his legs were shaking slightly at a high frequency.

The cells began to heat up rapidly, and the bioelectric current flowed through his body surface, and soon he felt pain.

Because there was no defense of the explosion-proof shield to weaken the pain, this time it came so violently.

Only ten minutes had passed, and Li Ming felt that he had no desire to live, and sweat formed a pool under his feet.

Not only was there severe pain inside his body, but it was also accompanied by a kind of numbness and itchiness. He wanted to cut open his skin and extract blood vessels and tendons.

Fortunately, he didn't need to control his body by himself. Li Ming tried his best to calm his mind, but this had the opposite effect, and he could feel the pain in various parts of his body.

In this torture, time passed by minute by minute, and night fell in the blink of an eye.

In the darkness, even though he was extremely tired, his breathing was still at a very even speed.

"Fuck!"

Finally, he was completely exhausted and collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath.

After a short rest, he manifested a certain detection device, and the screen showed a number - 12%.

Six hours, an increase of 3%?

The progress presented in front of him made him feel pain and fatigue. He took out the nutrient solution he bought in the morning and drank it all.

After an hour or two, he should be almost recovered.

The night was dark. Tonight, the stars could be seen in the sky of Silver Gray City for the first time in a long time.

About half an hour later, without a sound, his bed exploded with a "bang"!

Li Ming stood in the corner with a cold look in his eyes. Not far away, in the ruins of the bed, a figure slowly stood up. The black tight combat suit on her body outlined her curvy figure.

By the moonlight from the window, Li Ming saw that the other party was wearing a black mask. The eyes seemed familiar. I don't know where I have seen it.
