This is not mechanical ascension.

The smart terminal in his hand has been connected to the security system, so he can secretly view all surveillance and control security equipment.

Next, as long as he gets the code in Luochuan's hand, he can go straight in.

He swiped for a while, and someone knocked on the door. He glanced at the wall-mounted window on the side of the door. It was Chen Yan.

"Sera people."

Li Ming let her in, and after closing the door, Chen Yan gave an answer that did not surprise Li Ming, and further explained.

"The mastermind behind it should be that Sein. After Yuko was killed, his status plummeted. Some people think he should be responsible for this."

"In addition, he was also responsible for the previous exchange conference, and then you shot three people in one. If he was not still in Jingnan, he would have been captured by now."

"He wants to do something to atone for his sins."

"Atone for his sins?" Li Ming's eyes were cold, but the reason of the Sera civilization was very sufficient. They did not want to sit back and watch Li Ming rise.

Yuko was already dead, and their mentality had also undergone subtle changes.

I don't know if Chen Jinglong has found out.

"There is one more thing. The Torch executives asked me to try to seduce you to help us do something." Chen Yan hesitated.

"Hmm?" Li Ming came back to his senses, "What is it?"

"About ten days later, a spaceship will arrive at Jingnan Star. There are some prohibited items on it. According to the current inspection intensity, they will definitely be found out." Chen Yan explained, "The higher-ups want you to help us get away with it."

"On the surface, it's something from a friend of mine."

"Prohibited items? What prohibited items..." Li Ming became a little interested.

"A batch of interstellar precious metals." Chen Yan's answer surprised Li Ming.

"Interstellar precious metals?" Li Ming was slightly surprised: "Is this also considered contraband?"

"Of course it's not if the quantity is small, but the quantity of this batch seems to be a bit large."

Her words made Li Ming's heart move slightly, and then asked: "What's the use of transporting so many interstellar precious metals?"

"I don't know, it seems to have some special use." Chen Yan couldn't explain it either, and finally added:

"However, my contact told me that if you are too resistant, there is no need to make this happen."

"Oh..." Li Ming thought about it, and did not respond immediately, but said: "You asked me to think about it, and they didn't ask you to give an answer immediately, right?"

"Well, I will give them an answer in five days at the latest. If it doesn't work, they will find other ways." Chen Yan nodded.

Seeing that Li Ming just nodded without responding, Chen Yan was about to leave, but was stopped.

"Wait a minute, it's only twelve minutes, wait another half an hour."

Chen Yan was at a loss, and then his face turned black, speechless, and could only sit down.

Li Ming ignored her and thought to himself that Torch was going to smuggle a large number of interstellar precious metals in, and the focus was on this "large number".

He was somewhat interested, and even thought about whether to rob the thieves.

Finding a way to seek metal energy has always been his first goal. Now there are only 30,000 metal energies left, almost dry.

But rashly contacting Torch is always a bit risky.

"No, I am a positive character, and I am also famous in the city guards. If I really contact such a terrorist organization, I need someone to endorse me. If something unexpected happens, I can say that I am an undercover." Li Ming thought, and was stunned. Isn't this what Qin Xiao did at the beginning.

"It's just right that I have to go to Chen Jinglong to discuss the small laboratory. I will solve it all at once and see what he says." Li Ming has a plan in his mind.

Small laboratories are different from large laboratories. They require professors and a series of strict requirements.

If you just study a small branch alone and have a certain breakthrough, but lack the resources to continue, you can apply for the University of Science and Technology to allocate research funds to support continued research.

Tens of millions of alloy materials, only in and not out, can't stand the investigation. Several people have mentioned this matter. This is a hidden danger. It is not big at present. It is better to solve it as soon as possible.

If you can apply for this laboratory, it will be reasonable to buy alloy materials in the future.

At the same time, small laboratories can obtain no more than 40 million research funds every six months.

As for how to explain the previous materials and apply for small laboratories, the tank guard mecha is the answer.

Chen Yan, who was on the side, watched Li Ming's face constantly changing, frowning for a while, sneering for a while, and trembling in her heart.

After more than 20 minutes of hard work, she finally couldn't sit still, said something to Li Ming, and left in a hurry.

Li Ming opened the black hole network and found the Night Chaser again. He looked at it reluctantly. He wanted to buy another one, not for killing people this time, but as a trump card.

This thing can temporarily raise his life level to a whole level. Now that the wind and clouds are gathering, it is always right to get more trump cards.

Unfortunately, he didn't have much money for the time being. After thinking for a moment, he went to Luochuan and asked him to escort him.

Luochuan was scolding the security captain in the office. The other party lowered his head and looked embarrassed. When he saw Li Ming coming in, Luochuan waved his hand to let him go out.

After closing the door, he said coldly: "I have been on vacation for a few days, and my hands are slack. I asked and found out that the surveillance probes in various places have fluctuated to varying degrees in the past two days. The surveillance system has been down once. I thought someone sneaked in."

"Even if they fix it, they can't get any results."

Li Ming's eyes flashed when he heard this. Luochuan just complained to him for a few words, and then asked him what he wanted. Hearing that he was going to see the dean, he took the initiative to ask for an escort.

In his eyes, Li Ming is now the treasure among treasures, and no accidents can happen.

He packed up a little and prepared to leave. He was going to take a small hovercraft, but saw Li Ming carrying a large metal box.

"What are you doing?" Luo Chuan hesitated.

"Tank Guard mecha." Li Ming asked someone to change to a large transport vehicle. While carrying the box, he explained to Luo Chuan: "I'll see if I can apply for a mecha laboratory."

"Apply for a laboratory?" Luo Chuan was stunned, and then a little unbelievable: "You?"

"Well, it's a small laboratory." Li Ming added, Luo Chuan was silent, of course he knew it was a small laboratory.

But even if it is a small laboratory, it is too bizarre. How old is Li Ming now?

But thinking back to the tank guard mecha, he was hesitant to speak. With the ability to rub the mecha with his bare hands, it is not difficult to apply for a small laboratory.

He sighed, people are really incomparable.

The two set off, Li Ming sent a message to the dean in advance, and someone picked him up when he arrived at the school.

It was Yuan Hong, looking at the big metal box behind him, quite curious.

After watching Luo Chuan leave, he followed Yuan Hong all the way to the dean's office, where Chen Jinglong was, waving his hand to let Yuan Hong leave.

After the door was closed, there were only two of them left here. Chen Jinglong's eyes swept across the big metal box and said lightly: "What do you want to see me for?"

Li Ming secretly curled his lips. This dean, who uses people to go forward instead of backward, was not so cold when he asked me to go fishing before.

"Is it easy to talk here?" Li Ming lowered his voice.

"What's the matter?" Seeing Li Ming so cautious, Chen Jinglong became a little interested.

"I suspect that there is someone around me who is a Torch." Li Ming said cautiously.

After the voice fell, Chen Jinglong just narrowed his eyes slightly, but he was not surprised at all.

"You mean, Chen Yan?"

"You know it too." Li Ming pretended to be surprised, and muttered in his heart that this old fox really knew something.

Then he immediately turned the tables and asked, "Dean, if you knew, why didn't you arrest her and keep her with me?"

Chen Jinglong frowned, "I'm not sure either. She's a third-year student. She's still in the suspicion stage. The investigators sent to her hometown haven't arrived yet."

The paper information only has a few lines of words, and nothing can be obtained. It's very troublesome to determine whether she is a fire seed.

Then, he stared at Li Ming again, "How do you know she is a fire seed?"

Li Ming explained, "Chen Yan said that one of her seniors smuggled a batch of interstellar precious metals into the country, which might be a bit troublesome, so she wanted me to help her cross the border. He promised to give me a part of the reward."

"You also know that I'm more cautious. I felt something was wrong at the time, but she hesitated and couldn't explain it. In the end, she turned around and asked me if I didn't want to help."

"Oh..." Chen Jinglong was thoughtful. He had Chen Yan's information, and he knew that she and Li Ming had been very close recently.

Originally, the third grade had not been screened, but it was precisely because she and Li Ming were very close that Chen Jinglong sent someone to verify Chen Yan's identity.

"If that's what you said, she is most likely the Fire Seed." Chen Jinglong tapped the table.

Li Ming's face was tense, without any joy, but he sighed: "In fact, I had a suspicion long ago. She approached me deliberately at the beginning. I should have come to you earlier."

Chen Jinglong looked at Li Ming and could roughly guess what Huoju was thinking, so he comforted him: "Don't mind it. Youth is ignorant and there is always a yearning for love..."

At this point, his voice became deeper, his eyes were deep, and he seemed to recall something. He sighed: "You will understand later. The universe is so big, only evolution will last forever."

The dean seemed to be seriously injured...

Li Ming muttered to himself, and Chen Jinglong also found that he had lost his composure, and asked: "How do you want to deal with this matter?"

"If she is really the Fire Seed, I will catch her now." Li Ming said in a deep voice: "In the face of the interests of civilization, there is no room for love."

Chen Jinglong was not surprised. When Li Ming bargained with him last time, he found that this kid was not a simple person.

Such a person is good, knowing when to advance and when to retreat. If he is involved with Torch, he will be in great trouble. Blue Star may turn a blind eye, but the Eteran civilization will never let him go easily.

"That's not necessary..." Chen Jinglong shook his head, "Because of Fu Zongchen's death, the immigration inspection has been extremely strict during this period. If Torch has other methods, it will not risk using you, an extremely important chess piece."

"You can just pretend to be nice to them and see what they really want to do."

"Let me be an undercover?" Li Ming frowned on the surface, but when he spoke, he was 90% sure that Chen Jinglong would let him do so.

There is no use in arresting Chen Yan, but it will alarm Torch. If you are a little smarter, you will understand the principle of letting the long line catch the big fish.

"Will it be too dangerous?" He said hesitantly.

Chen Jinglong's face twitched, "Don't go too far, what's the danger?"

Li Ming chuckled twice and asked, "Why do you think Torch smuggled interstellar precious metals? Could it be that he wanted to bribe someone?"

Chen Jinglong's eyes moved, but he shook his head, "I don't know for the time being."

No speculation? Li Ming shook his head and asked again, "Dean, what is the origin of the group of people who attacked me?"

Chen Jinglong's eyes were vague for a moment, "We are still investigating, and we don't know for the time being. Some people can be confirmed to be Torch's people."

Didn't find out? Torch has already found out!

Li Ming seriously suspected that this old fox was lying to him. It should not be to protect Sein, but most likely because he was afraid that he would ruin some plans.

Perhaps he was forcing him to explain to the Sera civilization.

Seeing Li Ming's unhappy face, Chen Jinglong turned back to the previous topic:

"Smuggling interstellar precious metals may be just a cover. It is likely to be something else, perhaps related to their next plan."

"You can pretend to agree after you go back."

"Got it." Li Ming's face was gloomy. Seeing that he seemed to be stuck on the stool and had no intention of moving, Chen Jinglong knew that he had something else to do, and his eyes fell on the metal box on the side.

"What's in it?"

"It's the mecha I built." Li Ming seemed to be interested. He patted the metal box and opened it from the center. On the support column, a thick tank guard mecha was hanging.

"The mecha you built?" Chen Jinglong was slightly stunned, slowly stood up, walked around the table, and came to the front of the tank guard mecha. The cold alloy armor passed by his fingertips.

Chen Jinglong looked up and down, and a black beam of light suddenly condensed on his fingertips.

"Wait..." Li Ming shouted: "Dean, what are you doing? Do you know how much energy I spent and how much alloy material I wasted to make it?"

"If you break it, you have to pay for it."

"What level is this mecha?" Chen Jinglong asked hesitantly.

He had never been exposed to mechanics and didn't understand.

"It focuses on defense. Judging from the defense level, it should be C-level." Li Ming said.

"C-level?" Chen Jinglong's voice rose slightly, and then with suspicion, "Did you really make this?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Li Ming was helpless: "You can check when I bought this kind of mecha, I only bought alloy materials."

C-level defensive mecha can at least defend against the attacks of ordinary C-level life forms.

Chen Jinglong frowned, always feeling a little outrageous.

Although he knew nothing about mechanics, he also knew that none of the mentors under Xia Yuanlun could reach this level.

After thinking for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Why did you bring this mecha to me? Is it a gift for me?"

"Dean, you are joking." Li Ming shook his head and explained: "I want to apply for a small mecha laboratory. This mecha still has many shortcomings, and I want to continue to improve it."

"You want to apply for a small laboratory?" Chen Jinglong felt that the situation was too out of line.

He rubbed his brows, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

"According to the regulations of our school, I should be eligible to apply for a small laboratory." Li Ming emphasized: "If there is a breakthrough, it will also be good for our civilization."

"That's what I said." Chen Jinglong paced back and forth, "But, applying for a laboratory requires approval from the professor committee."

"Then approve it, anyway, I have the potential for development of level 16, and I am a future A-level life form." Li Ming spread his hands: "I believe that the professors will be fair."
