Chapter 21 Laboratory No. , Professor Liao
"Yes!"

"Ok!"

"understood!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Jianguo looked at the deputy captain Shen Liang with a heavy expression and said, "The higher-ups have issued an order requiring the ghost riders at the headquarters to go to Longmen Town to detain the ghost-fire suited man."

"Captain Zhao, Longmen Town is extremely dangerous. We can't be sure which ghost rider we send!" Shen Liang also frowned. Old Qin refused to take action. He couldn't think of anyone else who was capable of imprisoning the man in a suit who rode the ghost fire.

Knock...knock...knock!

Zhao Jianguo tapped the table lightly, thought for a while and said, "If one ghost rider is not enough, then send a few more. I don't believe that we can't take down the man in the suit."

Then he looked at Shen Liang and said, "Go contact Wang Chaling in Dadong City. This man has handled many supernatural incidents. His strength should not be underestimated."

Shen Liang nodded in agreement and asked curiously: "Besides Wang Chaling, who else are you going to invite?"

Zhao Jianguo thought for a moment and said, "Li Leping, the person in charge of Dachuan City, and Ding Zhiyong of Damen City are both ghost riders who control two evil spirits. If they join forces, they will definitely be able to imprison the man in the suit."

"Yes, let's do it!" Zhao Jianguo repeated, as if trying to strengthen his confidence in this way.

Shen Liang went out to contact Wang Chaling, and Zhao Jianguo also began to contact Li Leping and Ding Zhiyong. After a period of negotiation and an unknown amount of cost, the headquarters finally persuaded the three to take action.

On the other side, the exploration of the mysterious volcano also began to summon ghost riders from all sides, and Feng Quan also received an order to go to the jungle base.

On this ordinary night, Wang Xiaoming slept soundly.

The next day, in the experimental building.

Wang Xiaoming came to the experimental building leisurely. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his experimenter Cui Chongshi standing beside him and greeting him.

"Good morning, Professor Wang."

"Okay." Wang Xiaoming nodded perfunctorily and continued to move forward.

Cui Chongshi followed closely behind, "Professor, I saw Professor Liao and Professor Huang having dinner together today."

Professor Liao and Professor Huang both own independent laboratories, respectively in charge of Laboratories No. 1 and No. 6, and their research directions are similar.

They are all new materials used to restrain supernatural powers. To be precise, they are gold products formed by combining gold with other materials.

After being combined in different proportions, these gold products can have the property of being unaffected by the supernatural, acquiring some properties different from gold and can be used in various scenarios.

For example, the golden glass in their observation room was produced by Professor Liao’s laboratory. It not only has the property of isolating the supernatural, but also allows one to see changes in the observation room through the line of sight.

The two professors have the same research direction, so it is not surprising that they discuss together.

However, this matter was not worthy of Cui Chongshi's report. Wang Xiaoming expected that there would be a follow-up, so he responded: "Well, then what?"

"I heard that Professor Liao wants to compete for the position of the chief director of the experimental base. He wants Professor Huang to support him." Seeing the experimenter passing by, Cui Chongshi couldn't help but lower his voice and said, "Professor, should we also win over some people to prevent the position of the chief director from being taken away?"

Cui Chongshi's voice was very soft. If Wang Xiaoming had not just been promoted to Sequence Eight and his physique and five senses had not been upgraded, he probably would not have been able to hear Cui Chongshi's words clearly.

The chief director of the experimental base is a new position that has just emerged recently. He is responsible for managing the entire experimental base and is equivalent to Wang Xiaoming's direct supervisor. Ever since the news was released before the New Year, there have been some undercurrents in the experimental base.

There are always some professors who are unwilling to be lonely and start to form cliques and compete for the position of chief director. Professor Liao is just one of them.

Some of them also approached Wang Xiaoming, but he refused outright. There was no reason, he just didn't like the trouble.

Wang Xiaoming had no idea about this position because along with this power came corresponding obligations. He found it troublesome to manage a laboratory, let alone the entire experimental base.

His current idea is to study supernatural materials while digesting the magic potion. The reason for this is efficiency. As a low-sequence person, it is a thankless task for him to study supernatural powers. Only by being promoted to a high-sequence as soon as possible, he will have the means to study supernatural powers and even fight against them, and then change the world.

The ritual magic for transforming supernatural powers that he obtained yesterday can be used to try to create supernatural items such as the yellow paper for fake death. As he continues to study the supernatural, he will master more methods of creating supernatural items.

This newly acquired knowledge directly surpassed all his previous research, which made him realize that the speed at which he studied supernatural powers was not as fast as the speed at which he was promoted.

And by advancing through the sequence you will not only gain more powerful abilities, but also more useful knowledge.

Therefore, he will not make any further efforts to fight for the position of overall responsibility.

Moreover, given his current position, even if a person in charge of the experimental base is really selected, he will not be able to control it.

So after listening to Cui Chongshi's words, Wang Xiaoming said not to bother with them and did not react too much.

Seeing Wang Xiaoming's reaction, Cui Chongshi was a little confused. In his opinion, the position of general manager was very tempting and Wang Xiaoming could not possibly ignore it.

But now Wang Xiaoming obviously doesn't care.

Although Cui Chongshi worked in Wang Xiaoming's laboratory, he was not trusted by Wang Xiaoming because he secretly provided information to his circle of friends.

Wang Xiaoming usually assigned him to an unimportant experimental group, so he didn't know about Wang Xiaoming's latest research on supernatural gunpowder, nor did he know about Wang Xiaoming's position in the headquarters.

He thought that after missing out on the position of general manager, Wang Xiaoming would be restrained and inferior to others, but he didn't know that Wang Xiaoming didn't care about these.

"Professor Wang, long time no see."

Just then, a greeting came from behind.

Wang Xiaoming turned around and saw that it was Professor Liao that Cui Chongshi had mentioned, a middle-aged fat man with a round face. He greeted him with a smile on his face, and there were five or six experimenters following him.

Seeing Professor Liao coming, Cui Chongshi stepped behind him and acted as a hidden person. At this time, he was very nervous and thought that he had been discovered for saying bad things.

When Li Jun saw that they were other professors from the experimental base, he did not have any other reaction.

"Professor Wang, first of all I want to congratulate you!" Professor Liao walked up to him and said.

"Why be happy? Professor Liao, can you be more specific?" Wang Xiaoming asked.

"Professor Wang is still pretending. But I heard that Professor Wang recently developed a ghost-chasing bell, which is quite effective and is sought after by ghost hunters at the headquarters." After Professor Liao finished speaking, he looked at Li Jun who was standing nearby. He knew that Li Jun was sent by the headquarters to protect Wang Xiaoming.

Professor Liao couldn't help but feel jealous and angry when he thought of this. As a senior professor, he had made a lot of inventions and contributions to the supernatural world, but he had not been assigned a ghost-controller bodyguard.

Wang Xiaoming learned from Professor Liao's words that the reputation of the ghost-exorcising bell had spread, but this was expected, so he replied calmly:

"Professor Liao, thank you for your praise. It's all luck."

"Being lucky is also a skill. Unlike me, I work so hard on experiments and am so busy day and night." Professor Liao smiled on the surface and spoke as if it was normal, but Wang Xiaoming could sense that he was full of jealousy.

It was all because of his position as the chief director of the experimental base. When he first came to the experimental base, Professor Liao was quite kind and they had even discussed the reason why gold was not affected by the supernatural.

Now there is a gap in a position. Regarding this kind of bullshit, Wang Xiaoming can only say... boring.

He was too lazy to talk to Professor Liao anymore, so he quickened his pace and walked towards his laboratory. However, contrary to his wishes, Professor Liao was still following him, muttering:

"It's a pity that there are too few of these ghost-exorcising bells, and their power is too weak. They can only barely deal with ghost slaves, but they are useless when encountering powerful and fierce ghosts."
