"Junior Brother, do not take it lightly," Luo Chuan stopped and spoke with profound meaning, "Jingnan Star’s safety coefficient is naturally very high, but that does not mean that accidents are completely ruled out."
"It rather indicates that should a problem arise, it will definitely not be a trivial matter."
Li Ming naturally understood this reasoning; it is one thing for a knight to commit a breach of the law with his martial skill, and quite another for constantly evolving life forms to do so.
Luo Chuan sighed, "The teacher isn’t very popular and has quite a number of enemies. However, the teacher has been off the radar for many years, and many have forgotten about him."
"But the incident involving you has caused quite a stir. I’m afraid it will remind many old friends about certain unpleasant memories."
Li Ming was also somewhat speechless. When he got up that morning, he had glanced at the Star Network. The news about his incident had subsided a bit, but it was still highly trending.
Even the teachers who had once taught him had been criticized over the incident, accused of not fulfilling a teacher’s duty.
The Education Department of Silver Grey Star issued a decree overnight, dismissing several people.
He figured that if it hadn’t been for his perfect victim image, plus joining the City Guard and not doing anything excessive after that, who knows what kind of dirt might have been dug up on him.
Perhaps fearing that Li Ming might worry too much, Luo Chuan reassured him, "But you don’t need to worry too much. I have prepared a hovercar for you; try to stay out of the public eye as much as possible."
Li Ming nodded his head, "Thank you, Senior Brother."
Luo Chuan smiled faintly, "No need for thanks, it’s only right for us to support each other."
Luo Chuan escorted him to the entrance of the laboratory. Sure enough, the all-black hovercar was waiting there, stocked with beverages and other luxuries.
About half an hour later, they arrived at the Capital University of Science and Technology.
"Brother Yong, thank you for the trouble." He greeted the driver, and Han Yong smiled honestly, "That’s what I’m here for, I’ll wait for you here."
The Capital University of Science and Technology had its own dormitories, four persons to a room, and the facilities were quite complete.
However, those who managed to get in here were either wealthy or noble.
Even so, many were not accustomed to it. A lot of students rented or even bought houses outside.
At eight o’clock in the morning, the crowd was bustling, and as Li Ming walked, he suddenly heard someone shouting, "Li Ming!"
Someone recognized him and sounded excited, causing a chain reaction, with many looking over.
Not only were there freshmen but also seniors, sizing him up with curiosity in their eyes.
Li Ming was inwardly speechless as he saw the crowd began to gather, and he quickened his steps.
It was just that most students had seen much of the world. Although curious, they did not engage in the pursuit and blockading behavior.
Following the directions, Li Ming arrived at a tall building, went up to the top floor and, after passing the security checks at the door, the door opened.
Several gazes focused on him.
"Ha, our number one has finally arrived," Qi Star was the first to speak, grinning, "Tsk tsk, you’ve really got guts to come with your real face. Didn’t anyone ask you for a photo along the way?"
"Perhaps, but I walked fast," Li Ming shrugged his shoulders, as Roth who was already there, greeted him from not too far away.
He seemed to have gotten over it and wasn’t upset over his failure from the other day, with his arm nearly healed.
The special training class was supposed to have ten students. Now six were present, those who stood below the stage during the assessment, all were familiar faces to Li Ming.
The group chatted for a bit, and the alloy door opened again, and in came a strange girl in a white dress. She looked around the room and paused when her eyes landed on Li Ming.
She tapped her face lightly a few times, and a layer of mimicry skin fell away, revealing her real face—Nuo Xing.
"I heard you used to be her fan," Qi Star leaned over and said, "She’s still single, you know."
This was the terrifying aspect of Star Network. Almost everything about Li Ming had been dug up, leaving nothing, including all his activities from the past dozen or so years, under intense scrutiny.
Even though most of what was revealed was the work of his preceding existence, he still felt somewhat annoyed.
Qi Star was speaking quite loudly, but Nuo Xing showed no reaction, calmly choosing a seat, her profile exquisite and silent.
After waiting a while longer, the remaining three individuals also arrived, and the ten students were all present.
Apart from Li Ming, the other nine present were all offspring of the powerful elites born and raised on Jingnan Star.
"Ha... You didn’t see the look on Bian Li’s face, such a fool. Lucky that Li Ming soared into prominence and snagged the first place, knocking him down the ladder. Otherwise, sharing a room with that guy, I feel even my IQ would drop," Qi Star didn’t seem to be talking to anyone in particular.
"Qi Star, you just got lucky against him. If there was another round, who knows who would win or lose," someone spoke indifferently.
With smaller circles within the larger crowd, some were on good terms with the person Qi Star was talking about.
"Nanhua Xing." Qi Star’s smile faded as he casually glanced at him, then grinned broadly again, "Too bad there are no ifs in life. One step behind is still a step too late."
Qi Star seemed rather smug, but Nanhua Xing watched him with a cold gaze.
"Tsk tsk, everyone knows what our group of ten is here for, what a pity," Qi Star continued to talk, but no one paid him any attention because Director Chen arrived.
Everyone stood up as a sign of respect.
Director Chen scanned the room with eyes that carried a sense of gratification. He spoke briefly, simply encouraging everyone.
"Professor Bai’s class is in the afternoon, don’t be absent," he reminded them in the end.
Afterward, they were to attend their supplementary specialized courses.
Everyone else chose—Life Form Evolution, a course specifically tailored to help them graduate.
"Advanced Mechanical Manufacturing and Assembly, you really do have your own way, why did you choose this major, it’s quite a waste of time," Qi Star was astonished upon hearing Li Ming’s choice of major.
