Why am I a villain and still have my own jokes?

"The research is going well. So far, 50% of the first batch of volunteers have shown an affinity for zhen qi that was not there before, and 20% of them have changed from being untalented to being able to perceive With genuine physique, three of them can even practice cultivation—it’s a pity that they are all over 30 years old, and it’s too late to start now.”

Wu Jinglong walked in front, Ling Yao flipped through the report in his hand, and followed slowly.

"Can these people with good drug performance analyze what they have in common?"

"There are many factors that change, our instruments are not perfect, and the observation data is insufficient, so we can't make a conclusion for the time being. Moreover, the effect of these volunteers continuing to take the medicine is not very satisfactory. Should we..."

"The instrument will keep up, don't worry. New volunteers are already being recruited. But the work of this batch of volunteers is not over yet. One month, observe the follow-up reaction. And, if they still want to continue participating in the experiment, Those who stayed joined the new experimental group. I want to know whether they can adapt to real practice after taking the medicine, apart from improving their physique."

Ling Yao stopped when he heard the footsteps in front of him, and he also stopped, continuing his explanation,

"I will cooperate with the Special Intelligence Agency for the new experimental project. You don't have to worry about funds and talents. But data observation and whether new drugs need to be formulated still need the cooperation of the current project team. Of course, the workload will not increase a lot. You just need to be prepared first.”

"...Are we really going to cooperate with the Secret Service? Then the Nan family..."

"They know the relationship between the Special Intelligence Bureau and Wu Zifan, and they won't doubt your cooperation with the Special Intelligence Bureau. Of course, at present, the Nan family looks down on these mass-produced but mediocre Qi Refiners. They will care about long-term projects whose returns are not worth the investment, or even have no hope, and will not conflict with the Secret Service; but for the Secret Service, although powerful refiners are also their goals, these are slightly Ordinary qi refiners are still the more talents the better—they can afford it anyway.”

Ling Yao quickly flipped through the remaining pages of the report, closed the booklet, looked up at Wu Jinglong,

"Sooner or later, the project you are in charge of will be joined by the Special Intelligence Agency. When the funds flow in, you can get rid of the situation of borrowing the Nanjia laboratory, and you will have more room to display it. However, it is not the time yet. Still You need to grind with them, to strive for greater benefits for the project, and to stabilize your position as the person in charge. For the time being, I can only wrong you."

"It's a small matter. The current environment is not bad. It's just that I'm on someone else's territory, and I'm a little more restrained in case of information leakage. You don't dislike the slow progress, and I have nothing to complain about."

Wu Jinglong just shook his head.Right now, he has handed over all the management of Wu's Medical Center to his wife and apprentices, and he is concentrating on research projects. It may be said that he is more devoted than Ling Yao.To be able to say that the conditions are good is also from personal experience and sincerity.

Ling Yao really shook his head and said with a smile:

"It's not a job that works instantly. What's more, the progress is not too slow. At least my graduation thesis has been settled, so there is nothing to worry about."

Wu Jinglong was dumbfounded for a moment.After getting along with Ling Yao for a long time, he often forgets that this person in front of him is actually just a student who is three or four years older than his son and should be still worrying about his graduation thesis.

He always thought that the other party was a peer.This made him a little embarrassed.

Of course, if Ling Yao knew what Wu Jinglong thought, he might pat him on the shoulder and comfort him and say, "Actually, not only am I not your age, but I might actually be from your father's generation."

But Ling Yao didn't have such mind-reading skills, he thought he mentioned "graduation" and made Wu Jinglong think of Wu Zifan.After thinking for a moment, he carefully considered his words and said:

"Ah, there is a high probability that Wu Zifan will participate in this new project. This is also part of the promise of the Secret Service. But to what extent he can do it, and whether he can use it to stay in the Secret Service depends on his own efforts. But what he provided The intelligence is very effective, and the Secret Service should have given him credit for it, it’s always a little bit of face.”

Wu Jinglong pinched his Qingming acupoint and let out a long sigh of relief.At this time, he seemed to have finally let go of his objective and serious attitude at work, and turned back to the old father who worried about his son:

"It's okay. This stinky boy, just make trouble for me..."

Ling Yao shook his head and didn't comment.

It's not that he didn't guess that something would happen to Wu Zifan's character, but he didn't expect Wu Zifan to make such a big fuss so early on, and even involved himself and his teacher.Fortunately, the solution was smooth in the end, and he didn't suffer too much. Instead, he had the opportunity to directly contact the Secret Service—although this was also thanks to Yu Huisheng's relationship.

All in all, although he had lingering fears, he would not feel more dissatisfied with Wu Zifan because of this - after all, he had been beaten before, and it seemed that he was stingy if he kept grudges.

More importantly, his relationship with Wu Zifan is not that good, he needs to worry and take care of him all the time, and there is no depression of being framed by someone close to him.

For example, if Xiao Ji Nian did this, Xiao Ji Nian would be beaten into a pig's head by him and hung at the gate of the city that night.

"Ten minutes left."

He glanced at his watch, turned his head and nodded to Wu Jinglong,

"The two people who will come here in a while may participate in new projects in the future, so we can get to know each other well."

Yes, today is the day when the Secret Service was invited to visit the laboratory.Those who came were Meng Jie'an and Dong Jie from the Golden Scale Squad.

The reason why it is the two of them is because they met Ling Yao and saved Yu Huisheng, so they are one of the few people in the secret service who gave Ling Yao a good first impression; secondly, they also have such abilities , is enough to support a major project; thirdly, it is the means revealed by Ling Yao that really impressed the people in the Secret Service, making them believe that this new project of Ling Yao is not a castle in the sky, but a real and profitable long-term cooperation.

Although it is not a formal meeting and negotiation, it is inevitable to pack up and go out to welcome guests.However, the number of visitors this time is different from the news Ling Yao received.

"Sorry, we came here uninvited. Hope it didn't trouble you."

Looking at Yang He who stood at the front with a humble face, Wu Jinglong could naturally tell that the other party was a person in charge with a higher status than Meng Jiean and Dong Jie, so he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Ling Yao.But Ling Yao raised his eyebrows, but he saw the slightly hunched old man behind Yang He at a glance, and speculated on the purpose of Yang He's visit this time.

"Of course. It seems that Mr. Yang attaches more importance to our cooperation than I imagined. It's too late for me to be happy, isn't it?"

He invited people in with a smile,

"The project was relatively tight at the beginning, so please take care of the shabby places."

Since Ling Yao didn't show boredom or nervousness, Wu Jinglong's heart was naturally relieved.Although it's not that he hasn't dealt with officials before, but after all, the actual person in charge of the project is Ling Yao, and he can't help but worry that he will make a wrong move and ruin his plan.

Facts have also proved that even if there are two more people, the process of taking a look at the flowers is not different.The members of the Special Intelligence Bureau seemed to be very satisfied with everything they saw, and the questions they asked often implied the intention of cooperation, which aroused Wu Jinglong's sense of accomplishment and desire to explain.It's just that Ling Yao knew that Yang He would bring a strange old man on a surprise visit in person, and it was definitely not to see the so-called actual situation.

However, he didn't intend to give the other party any starting words.Whoever takes the initiative first will be more urgent, that is, whoever compromises first.

"The cooperation project between Mr. Nan and Mr. Wu is indeed in line with our wishes. I think that as long as other details can be agreed upon, the agreement can be signed soon. However, this part of the work will be handed over to Jie'an and Xiao Dong. As for my coming today, I still have some other things I want to ask Mr. Nan. I wonder if I can sit down for a while and ask Mr. Nan for two cups of tea?"

"Naturally. Mr. Jing Long will continue to receive Mr. Meng and Mr. Dong. Come with me, the reception room is in front."

Although Ling Yao didn't take the initiative to cooperate, he didn't deliberately pretend to be stupid, so he quickly accepted.And Yang He glanced vaguely at the old man behind him, and quickly followed up.

The reception room.Looking at the figure of Nan Botu busy making tea, and the silent appearance of the old man beside him with his eyes closed, Yang He seemed a little nervous.

The old man who came with him was Hou Jinshuo, the hider of the West China Special Intelligence Bureau and one of the vice-chairmen of the Special Intelligence Bureau Coordination Committee.

Even if Nan Botu didn't know the other party's identity, he didn't believe that Nan Botu couldn't see it. Hou Jinshuo was already a fourth-rank powerhouse, and he must be a well-known figure in the Special Intelligence Bureau. Even he didn't dare to neglect.

However, although Nan Botu could not be said to be "negligent", it was obvious that he was pretending to be confused, just waiting for him to speak first.This kind of calmness and calmness, but there is no intention of pretending at all, making people unable to see clearly what the other party relies on to be so calm.

And Hou Jinshuo's performance also made Yang He feel uneasy.

Mr. Hou was notoriously harsh and arrogant in the Special Intelligence Bureau back then, and he rarely treated him well, but now he has quit managing specific affairs and has devoted himself to studying martial arts for many years. Major events that are not at the national level will not be taken lightly. out of the mountains.This time, although Nan Botu performed amazingly in the battle with Xu Wenbo, it was beyond Yang He's expectation.

——Even when he saw Lin Tianyu's magical mystical skills, although Hou Lao was surprised, he didn't leave immediately to see the person as he is now.

But this time, Hou Jinshuo was not in a hurry or annoyed, and he never put on airs, which really made him unpredictable.

Is this to test Nanbotu's concentration, or is there really something in Nanbotu that is worthy of Mr. Hou's deep breath and careful observation?

It's just that both parties didn't speak, so he had to speak up himself:

"To be honest, Mr. Hou and I came here this time to see Mr. Nan's project, and to see Mr. Nan's methods that he showed that day."

"Is it for the talisman and formation? I think Mr. Yang has already tested it. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Ling Yao knew that the other party could bring a fourth-rank master to visit, and it was impossible for the talismans and formations that seemed magical and exquisite but lacked lethality.What the other party is envious of is the principle of operation, the technique of driving the true energy like an arm, and the method of drawing the innate qi to use it.

This is the password for truly batch-shaping masters.

Ling Yao didn't dislike this kind of "peeking".On the contrary, being able to notice this, he wanted to praise the other party's good vision.

The more calm the other party is now, the more it shows that the other party values ​​the bargaining chip in his hand, and the more he respects himself.No one dislikes such collaborators.

"It's not wrong. It's just that there are some doubts. I'm not professional in this area, so I'd like to ask Mr. Hou to talk about it. Mr. Hou is a veteran of our Secret Service and is very concerned about our new project."

Ling Yao obediently cast his eyes on Hou Jinshuo and nodded.Hou Jinshuo also nodded slightly, but he didn't mean to be polite at all:

"I have tried the talisman and formation you gave, and it really works. But the talisman is fine, but the effect of the formation is not as powerful as what they told me. I believe you are not good at talisman painting." Hidden selfishness, then the difference should be the acquired qi or the innate qi that drives the formation, right?"

Ling Yao was taken aback for a moment, recalled the titles of "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi" in this world in the books he had read, and nodded:

"That's right. The formation needs to be directly introduced... well, the innate qi can continuously drive the formation and exert its greatest power. The true qi cultivated by individuals alone is like pouring water into a large wooden bucket with a cup , the speed is very slow, and the water will evaporate while pouring; unless it has been stored for a long time, the array will not have enough energy when it is activated, and its power will naturally decrease.

"The talisman is another principle: it uses the talisman to regulate the operation of the true energy, just like making a hose, so as to draw the water in the pond—that is, the innate qi. So as long as you inject the true energy Qi can exert its effect. However, there is also a problem. The true energy that the talisman paper can carry is limited. The innate qi that is attracted either lasts for a small amount, or can only burst out for a moment, so the power may not be satisfactory.

"...that's how I understand it, right?"

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Yang He rubbed his forehead. He really didn't know if Nan Botu was overconfident or overconfident. Didn't he tell them clearly, "What I gave you is really not the full version"!Although everyone knows it well, it's rare to dare to say something like this.

Hou Jinshuo raised his eyebrows and didn't comment on it.The other party’s frank attitude may not be a bad thing—at least the other party dares to let himself know that he has the willingness to make a deal—it is better than beating around the bush, covering up, and finally making a big mess before he is willing to confess.

However, it is useless to say that it is useless:

"I understand the general meaning. However, after hearing so much, I still hope to see it with my own eyes. I don't know when Xiaoyou will be free. It's best these few days. The Secret Service has a training ground, and it will be provided in the future For your new project to use, you can also stop by to have a look."

Now it was Ling Yao's turn to get stuck.It seems that Mr. Hou is only calm on the surface, but he is very urgent in his heart.Even the excuse of "seeing the venue" was used.

But, the problem is, if there is no thunder today, he can't do it! !

But after thinking about it, since we want to cooperate for a long time, we have to expose ourselves a few catties.It is of course beneficial to let the other party look up to him, but he is not a real material to fight now, he does not have the aura of the protagonist to fool others for several years.

"If I'm free, I'm free today, but...my level is limited, and my performance is limited by the environment. I'm afraid I won't be able to restore the effect of that day."

Ling Yao considered it for a while, but decided to confess,

"I can only attract thunder. The last time I was lucky, I struck thunder."

Hou Jinshuo frowned:

"Tianlei is more manic than other stellar qi. Thunder can do it, why can't others?"

Ling Yao slandered: Other things are fine in his previous life, but he used them less in normal times, so it’s better to play with thunderballs; but in this life, he only started to practice in his twenties, and he was able to pick up the ability to attract thunder after a long time of tossing around , How else can I practice.

But this can't be said bluntly, so he can only smile awkwardly:

"Maybe it's talent."

Hou Jinshuo gave him a strange look and didn't ask any more questions.It's really not good to say something like talent, sometimes it's just so unreasonable.And this Nan Botu is indeed a very talented person, otherwise he would not have cultivated to the seventh rank - he has never mentioned such a genius so far.

"There is no sky thunder, can man-made ones work?"

Now Ling Yao was dumbfounded:

"Man-made?"

"Xiao Yang, don't you have instruments in your physics laboratory? Move a high-power generator over there, along with any cutting-edge discharge equipment. For a large-scale mofa like Tianlei, small-scale ones can always be produced."

"...Ah. Can, can you do it?"

Yang He was also shocked, and turned to look at Ling Yao.

Originally, Ling Yao said that there would be a thunderstorm, and he wanted to check the weather forecast to pick the day. Unexpectedly, Mr. Hou was so impatient that he even thought about the instruments of their other research projects. He just wanted to witness the power of that formation with his own eyes today.

"I also, uh, haven't tried it, otherwise, otherwise try?"

Ling Yao also found it magical.Science generates electricity, and then metaphysics uses electricity. What kind of cyber cultivation is this, he dare not even think about it.

Unexpectedly, this old Mr. Hou was very old, and his ideas were more bizarre than those of young people like them.

Seeing that Ling Yao didn't object, Hou Jinshuo's eyes lit up immediately, and he urged Yang He to start calling to borrow venues and equipment.It wasn't enough to urge Yang He here, he even took out his cell phone, as if calling to invite some old brothers to watch together, which made Ling Yao feel a lot of pressure.

This, such a big battle, if his formation fails to generate electricity, will he be caught and thrown into the boiler to generate electricity?

However, this also gave him a new way of thinking: In addition to studying the principles of the operation of zhenqi from the perspective of human physiological structure, is it possible to find a way to use zhenqi efficiently from the perspective of physics?

Ling Yao touched his chin.It seems that the future will never be boring.

……

"The Chen family suddenly proposed marriage to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family let go? Have they all forgotten what happened at the birthday banquet? Mr. Zhou's illness doesn't want to be treated anymore?"

While listening to the news reported by his subordinates, Li Haibo subconsciously tapped the table with his knuckles,

"Where is the progress now?"

"The young master of the Chen family has a bad reputation. I don't know how many women he has raised outside. Miss Zhou's family must not agree. However, Zhou Jianqing himself is very active, accepting all the betrothal gifts, and Mr. Zhou turned a blind eye Close one eye."

"Hmph, this family is only so promising, no wonder it's going down."

Li Haibo's comment was just a comment, but he didn't intend to do anything.At most, he would investigate information for Lin Tianyu and arrange activities in the black market, but he would not be so free as to worry about the relationship between men and women.

Only those who have money and leisure have the time to deal with several women, and he has to take care of women for those who have money and leisure, which saves him.

"Did the other families react? I remember that there were quite a few people who wanted to marry Zhou Yunyi, including Li Jiahe."

"He seems to... seems to be eyeing a new prey recently. He is looking for someone to follow."

Li Haibo originally mentioned Li Jiahe casually, but he didn't expect that this cheap brother really had something to do.Judging by the tone of his subordinates, he probably knew the new prey:

"Who?"

"Uh, yes, it's Ding Ling'er, brother Lin knew that some time ago."

Now Li Haibo was speechless.This world is really small, and there are so many women who have affairs with Lin Tianyu.

Fortunately, he is a legendary character, and the things he encounters are all coincidences.

"Does that woman know she's being targeted?"

"It seems that I don't know. Some time ago, I was doing odd jobs everywhere, and I often went home in the middle of the night."

It was Li Haibo's duty to gather intelligence to find someone to watch the movements of all parties, but he didn't want Lin Tianyu to feel that he was staring at the other woman all the time, so it was impossible to say it directly.

Of course, it's impossible not to reveal anything, he just talked about the connection between the Zhou family and the Chen family, and the recent signs of restlessness in the Li family.

Moreover, when he called Lin Tianyu, it proved that the other party didn't really care about what happened in Fengcheng. The person who answered the phone was a strange woman, and Lin Tianyu didn't ask any questions after hearing the news he had finished speaking. For the details, just let him continue to help watch, and when he comes back next week, he will clean up the Chen family and the Zhou family.

As for how to deal with the gangsters subdued in Qingzhou, Lin Tianyu didn't mention it at all. Presumably, he didn't intend to let him take care of it at all.

Of course, Li Haibo never expected Lin Tianyu to do this directly.Anyway, as long as the things are in Lin Tianyu's hands, he will always have the opportunity to take the power over naturally, which will never make Lin Tianyu have the slightest suspicion.

What he's thinking now is... Lin Tianyu won't hook up with another one in Qingzhou.Terrible.

What he didn't expect was that Ding Ling'er disappeared the day after he made this call.
