This is not mechanical ascension.

Being able to become an E-level life form at this age, even with the assistance of various equipment, its own development rate is not low.

Level 4 development potential is even the lowest level.

Zhang Huaiyuan frowned slightly. It's not right. Isn't Li Ming only at level 3 development potential? How come he seems to be better than level 4?

"Uh... Brother Ming, don't be discouraged... You will definitely be able to enter the key training... Hiss~" Ge Hong grinned and stared at Zhang Huaiyuan: "Old Zhang, you stepped on my foot!"

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled awkwardly, Li Ming didn't care at all, and the few of them laughed and talked for a while.

Not long after, three or four people in black suits came out of the elevator, looked around, and locked their eyes in their direction.

"It seems to be coming towards us." Zhang Huaiyuan and others had noticed this group of people a long time ago. Seeing that they really came over, Ge Hong was a little nervous: "Nothing will happen."

"It's okay, this is Jingnan." Zhang Huaiyuan said in a deep voice, but it can be seen that his breathing was also a little rapid.

The leader was a short-haired woman who looked very capable and showed a standard professional smile: "Are you Zhang Huaiyuan... Ge Hong... Liang Long..."

She called out everyone's name in turn, but Li Ming's name was not there.

Due to the location, this group of people stood right behind Li Ming, and she did not look down at the boy who was eating barbecue.

"Yes, it's us." Zhang Huaiyuan stood up, "May I know who you are?"

"My name is Liu Yao, from Lebo Company, for this little friend." Liu Yao pointed at Liang Long, and the boy with dark skin was obviously a little stunned.

"For me?"

"Yes." Liu Yao smiled warmly: "Liang Long, a second-level excellent development potential, from a poor family, was admitted to Capital University of Technology by his own efforts. Our company likes people like you the most."

"What do you mean?" Liang Long still didn't understand.

"You may not know that entering Capital University of Technology is not the end, but just the beginning."

"Although Capital University of Technology will provide certain resources to support you, it is far from enough. If you can't provide any resources, no matter how powerful you are or how high your ambition is, you can't catch up with others and become like everyone else."

"I know that due to special reasons, it may be difficult for your family to provide certain support. We can sign a contract with you and provide full assistance during your university years."

It was silent here, and everyone's eyes wandered between Liang Long and Liu Yao.

After digesting the news, Liang Long was obviously moved. His family knew his own affairs. Zhang Huaiyuan took care of many places on the road because he didn't have that much money.

But he also had a sense of pride in his heart. If he could rely on himself, it would be the best.

"There is no free lunch in the world." Zhang Huaiyuan frowned.

"Of course." Liu Yao said calmly: "As a price, after graduation, you need to serve us for a few years, and change your freedom after repaying the resources we provided and the related interest."

It sounds reasonable, after all, people also want to make money.

"You..." Zhang Huaiyuan felt something was wrong, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Liu Yao: "Sorry, we don't have the intention to recruit you."

"The minimum requirement of our company is to have the potential for development at the second level, and only Liang Long meets the requirement."

"You are only at the first level, your family background can only be considered OK, and your future is limited. Liang Long is much better than you."

Zhang Huaiyuan's face turned red.

Liu Yao smiled and said: "I even think that he should be your leader, so please don't interrupt me when I talk to him."

After saying this, she thought Zhang Huaiyuan would be mad with anger. This young man is not very sophisticated, but simply wary. After a few words of provocation, the matter was settled.

However, the originally flushed face quickly faded, looked at her strangely, and sat down.

"You can't say that..."

Liang Long hesitated. Young people, being praised, always feel a little flattered.

Besides, he also thought from the bottom of his heart that he was no worse than others, but his family background was not good.

But this last sentence is not right. Although no one said it, the leader of their small group is not Zhang Huaiyuan.

"Is the price of the resources provided in your contract clearly marked? Is it based on the cost price or the market price, or is it higher than the market price?"

"Is your interest calculated based on the comprehensive principal or the cumulative calculation of the resources already provided?"

"Is his salary for work after graduation clearly marked, or will we talk about it later?"

Liu Yao's face changed slightly, and finally looked down. Li Ming took a tissue to wipe his mouth, "Show me the contract."

"You... are?" Liu Yao frowned slightly, and Zhang Huaiyuan couldn't wait to say: "Li Ming, E-level life form, third-level development potential, of course, is also a student of this year's Capital University of Technology."

"Huh?" Liu Yao's face changed immediately, E-level life form, excellent evaluation?

"Are you wondering why there is no information about him?" Wang Bing looked indifferent.

Liu Yao looked at the boy who always had his back to him, and felt a sense of pressure that came from nowhere, and then said angrily: "If you want to sign, then sign. If you don't want to sign, forget it. We don't have to ask you..."

"Getting angry out of shame is a typical reaction after the scam is exposed." Wang Bing added.

"Miss Liu, I won't send you off. Besides, your method of sowing discord is too low-end." Zhang Huaiyuan said, and he had calmed down.

Liu Yao's face changed. For some reason, after Li Ming spoke, the group of people in front of him seemed to have a backbone.

"Forget it, I don't want to deal with you." Diplodocus also clearly refused.

She forced a smile, maintained her basic professionalism, left a business card, and turned to leave.

"I found it." Wang Bing pushed up his glasses, lowered his head, and looked at his smart terminal: "There are many companies like this. They look for people from poor families but with good potential to invest, and they sign many contracts with hidden terms."

"The people they pick have low vision and are easily deceived. They will indeed provide certain resources, but as Li Ming said, they are self-produced brands, and the price is several times higher than other brands."

"The interest has been calculated based on the total price provided from the beginning. In a few years, the number has almost doubled. After work, they will use various methods to reduce the remuneration."

"The key thing is that interest is still accumulating during this process, and at the same time, because of the confidentiality clause in the contract, these people are unable to tell the truth."

This was a big pit. Diplodocus's face turned pale. If he had really signed the contract just now, he might not be able to pay it back if he acted like a fool.

"Where did you find it? Why didn't I find it?" Ge Hong glanced at it and his expression changed drastically: "Damn it, black hole network!"

Wang Bing explained casually: "If you can't find this information through regular channels, you can only go to Black Hole to buy it online. This kind of information is not expensive. You can buy a copy for a few hundred star coins."

"Jingnan is really not a good place." Ge Hong muttered.

"Thank you." Liang Long was silent for a while, then stood up and said.

"We are all friends." Zhang Huaiyuan pressed him down and said, "If you really want a loan, if you lend it to our family, the contract our family signed for you is still normal."

Of course his family did not have such a contract, but Zhang Huaiyuan was inspired by Liu Yao. Liang Long came from the same place as them. Although he was more sensitive, he was determined and trustworthy, so he would not lose anything.

Liang Long looked at Zhang Huaiyuan and nodded heavily.

This little episode made everyone feel a little heavy. It was the first time they felt such naked malice, and the atmosphere became quite silent.

"Brother Li, how do you know there is something fishy in their contract?" Ge Hong asked curiously, "Have you ever been exposed to it?"

"That's not true." Li Ming shook his head, still chewing meat in his mouth: "Ask me casually. If they are honest, they will be able to answer it."

"You think too much, you will definitely not be cheated in the future." Ge Hong said with emotion.

"It's okay to be cheated, as long as you can fill it up."

"How to fill it out?" Several people were curious.

"Throw someone in, and it will be filled." Li Ming stood up. He was full.

Several people were stunned.

"Ha...haha..." Ge Hong smiled awkwardly: "This is a cold joke, using people to fill the hole...ha..."

After having enough wine and food, everyone went back to their rooms.

The moment he opened the door, the hairs all over his body stood up, and he felt the breath of a high-level life form.

"Don't be nervous, it's me." A slightly familiar voice came.

Li Ming's heart moved slightly, "Brother Biao?"

He turned on the light and found Fang Biao standing in the center of the room.

He closed the door carefully, a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

"The professor asked me to come." Fang Biao crossed his thick arms and said in a low voice.

"Professor knows I'm here?" Li Ming came closer.

"Of course, the professor will know about it as soon as you arrive." Fang Biao motioned for Li Ming to sit down. "The resources that the professor can use here are beyond your imagination."

"But it is precisely because of this that the professor cannot come in person to avoid being discovered by others, so he asked me to come."

Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, and Fang Biao then asked: "The professor asked me to ask how far along you are in developing your gene seeds."

"62%." Li Ming thought for a while and decided to answer truthfully.

"How much?" Fang Biao was surprised, "62%, are you sure?"

This is too fast.

He suddenly realized something, "You were developing on the way here?"

"Um."

Fang Biao's expression changed slightly. This kind of perseverance is hard to find.

"One more thing." Fang Biao calmed down and said, "The professor asked you not to hide it during the selection. He will go to the scene and promote you to the special training class."

"The professor can only contact you after you enter."

"Is this special training class created by the professor?" Li Ming asked.

"You misunderstood." Fang Biao shook his head: "Half a year ago, Blue Star's senior leaders had this idea. It was a request from the advanced civilization of Etlan. They are the main supporting civilization of our Blue Star."

"Some people have approached the professor before and wanted him to come out, but he was rejected by the professor. Because of you, the professor took the initiative to teach after he came back."

So that's it. Li Ming nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "What do you mean by the professor promoting me?"

"Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for you to enter the special training class. Don't be dissatisfied. The development progress of the first batch of E-class life forms is close to, or even over 90%."

"The development potential is not much different from yours, and level six is ​​not without it."

Fang Biao paused, feeling that what he said was too serious, and then reassured: "But don't worry, the professor will be there when the time comes. He has contacted you before at Silver Gray Star, and will use the reason of "closed eyes" to transfer you to special training. class."

"A close eye?" Li Ming's expression was strange, what a ridiculous reason.

"But don't take it lightly. Others are not vegetarians. If their performance is too poor, it will be difficult for the professor to handle." Fang Biao reminded: "The professor values ​​you, don't let him down."

After finishing speaking, Fang Biao did not stay, his face changed, and he left carefully.

The surveillance probes on Jingnan are everywhere. There is no seriously polluted atmosphere, and the satellites scattered throughout the near-earth routes can play a more perfect role.

But it is impossible to have no blind spots after all.

"I don't know how much this brother Biao knows about my situation." Li Ming pondered. Old Wu has already written the script. He just needs to follow the steps.

...

From an inconspicuous corner, Fang Biao joined the crowd and came to an area that was not on the map. There were experimenters in white coats everywhere.

Passing through the heavy alloy doors and greeting people along the way, Fang Biao came to the deepest room, which was extremely simple and without too many decorations.

Behind the white desk, Professor Wu was looking down at the experimental report.

"Professor Wu." As soon as he entered the door, he began to report: "I have contacted Li Ming, and his gene development progress has reached 62%."

"62%?" Professor Wu paused slightly and looked up at Fang Biao.

Fang Biao immediately said: "He seems to have not stopped developing all the way from Silver Gray Star, and his mind is very determined."

"Not bad." Professor Wu nodded. He did not get complacent because he was favored by him. He understood what was most important in this interstellar space.

He became more and more satisfied with Li Ming.

"I have also said what you asked me to tell you..." Fang Biao continued: "With his current strength and development potential rating, he will definitely be able to enter the key training class. I also warned him specially, so you can rest assured."

"Warned him?" Professor Wu looked at him.

"Yes, I was afraid that he would be complacent and relax." Fang Biao explained.

"Self-righteous." Professor Wu lowered his head again and continued to read his experimental report.

Fang Biao scratched his head. He was used to being scolded, and he didn't care.

As the start of school approached, the entire Jingnan Star became more and more lively, and the price of hotels rose sharply, causing many people to gnash their teeth and curse.

By the beginning of October, activities were being carried out everywhere in Jingnan Star, attracting a large number of young people.

Most young people want to have a party, but Li Ming still follows his own rules and develops seeds when he has time.

In the room, Li Ming's breathing is rapid, his whole body is hot, and the bioelectricity stimulates his body at a high frequency, and his bones and joints feel unimaginable itching.

Until a certain moment, the pain and itching faded, but before he could catch his breath, he groaned again, and a sharp pain like tearing flesh came from all over his body.
