Chapter 153: Chapter 100: The Ins and Outs of Career Integration--【Mechanical Research Scholar】(Two in One)_2

The Star Creation Company was able to make inroads into the Blue Star Civilization thanks to the Sela Civilization, which played the role of matchmaker.

Six months ago, Princess Asmara got engaged, causing Old Wu to go from a fresh-faced favorite to a worn-out man no longer in favor.

The Sela Civilization then began to stir, and the retaliation from Old Wu, or rather the Blue Star Civilization, was to take action against the Star Creation Company.

Old Wu’s visit to Silver Grey Star probably had something to do with this relationship.

At this point, Li Ming realized many things; the seemingly chaotic and clueless events unfolding before his eyes were actually interconnected.

"Princess Asmara..." Li Ningming searched for the princess’s photo on the Star Web, along with related news, and a plethora of results popped up.

Her appearance naturally goes without saying, she had a dignified and noble presence, and there were also pictures of her clad in battle armor, looking valiant and formidable.

"Why marry so young..." he shook his head and closed the smart terminal.

He tidied up and prepared to head to the training room, but after only half an hour or so, Luo Chuan hurriedly came looking for him.

"The teacher wants you to visit the underground laboratory," Luo Chuan said gravely.

"The teacher wants me to go?" Li Ming asked as he got dressed, "What happened?"

"I don’t know, but the teacher sounded very rushed," Luo Chuan replied.

After Li Ming got dressed, Luo Chuan led him to the underground laboratory.

Although it was part of the entire laboratory, it was a forbidden zone belonging to Wu Yanqing; no one could approach without permission.

Luo Chuan’s smart terminal shot out a blue light, which slowly outlined a holographic projection of Wu Yanqing’s upper body.

"Teacher," the two said in unison.

Wu Yanqing’s gaze fell on Li Ming and he complimented, "You’ve become a D-level life form, very good."

"All thanks to Luo’s guidance," Li Ming promptly said.

"What can he guide you in." Wu Yanqing shook his head, and Luo Chuan let out a wry smile.

"I called you here because there’s something in the laboratory that you now quite need," Wu Yanqing said.

"Oh?" Li Ming did not understand, it couldn’t be that they were giving me a suit of armor, could it?

Confused, Luo Chuan said, "But teacher, only you can open this underground laboratory, how could we take anything out?"

"Am I not right here?"

"But you are not here in person; this underground laboratory requires your biometric data," Luo Chuan hesitated; this underground laboratory was a treasure to the teacher, seemingly connected to the entire laboratory, but actually a separate entity.

The interior was isolated from the exterior, and even the network was the same.

All access data was stored within the internal network and could not be input from the outside unless breached forcibly.

"No, Li Ming’s biometric data can open it too," Wu Yanqing stated lightly.

Luo Chuan stood shocked in place.

Li Ming was also surprised; when had Old Wu collected it, last time?

He then shuffled his feet and edged to the side, trying to lower his presence as he watched Luo Chuan fall silent.

He was genuinely afraid of Luo Chuan turning dark; the script was too similar.

Luo Chuan revered Old Wu as a father, and now suddenly, some guy pops up out of the blue and receives his father’s favor.

It would obviously throw him off balance, and a slight lack of care could turn him dark.

"Connect your smart terminal, I’ve left a backdoor in it," Old Wu immediately continued.

Luo Chuan’s eyes shifted as he said, "You mean to say?"

Wu Yanqing, clearly impatient, said, "The dynamic password is on your smart terminal, the genetic signature is on Li Ming. Combine the two of you to open the underground laboratory, don’t waste any more time."

Although reprimanded, Luo Chuan’s face suddenly brightened, and Li Ming also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was like two keys, each entrusted to them for safekeeping; Luo Chuan was no longer thrown off balance.

The two stepped forward, and after a round of data verification, accompanied by a thunderous noise, the massive alloy door slowly opened.

"Luo Chuan, stay here. Hand the smart terminal to Li Ming and let him go in alone," Wu Yanqing instructed; this time Luo Chuan showed no particular reaction, having apparently adjusted his mindset.

Taking Luo Chuan’s smart terminal, Li Ming stepped into the underground laboratory. As the alloy door shut behind him, Wu Yanqing said, "Do you know why Sain came?"

"To probe me," Li Ming responded immediately, "I found a syringe on Youke, apparently to collect my blood."

"Hmph, I knew it," Wu Yanqing’s expression darkened, and he continued, "Turn left."

Li Ming followed the instructions, and Wu Yanqing added, "They are trying to find out whether you possess gene purification potential."

"Genetic Purification Particles lose their activity within three minutes after leaving their host and must be stored in a special container," he explained.

"Then what should I do?" Li Ming had been aware of this risk since arriving at Jingnan Star and had never been injured there.

"I didn’t expect the situation to develop so quickly... The room on the right," Wu Yanqing advised: "The password is ******"

Beep—

The door opened, the lights turned on, and a wave of coldness hit him; Wu Yanqing instructed him to open the storage cabinet on the left, where there were several tubes of azure blue liquid.

"Take out a tube and drink it. This substance can suppress the activity of the Genetic Purification Particles in your body. Once the blood leaves the body, the activity will almost instantly collapse, and the effect lasts about a month," he said.

Li Ming’s eyes lit up, Old Wu indeed had a solution; he probably didn’t bring it out last time because he thought he could still control the situation.

Without hesitation, Li Ming took out a tube and gulped it down; it was tasteless.

After dealing with this hazard, Wu Yanqing told him to leave. Luo Chuan was still waiting outside, and Li Ming returned the smart terminal to him.

Old Wu seemed very busy and ended the communication after only a few words.
