149: Chapter 149 Interstellar Black Card! The most expensive ship ticket in the entire Federation!

The teacher from Imperial Capital University did not take the bait.

He just gave him a meaningful look without further explanation.

Su Ming sensed something was off.

Good grief, a bunch of old schemers.

The waters in this world are deep enough to drown people.

No matter which world it is, information asymmetry is the biggest barrier!

Without waiting for him to press, Teacher Sun threw out an even more shocking condition.

"In addition, the Imperial Capital Institute of Mysterious Phenomena can be permanently opened to you."

"You will have the authority to access all internal archives and project data at any time."

"Bang!"

This time, even Commander Qin Luo couldn't sit still.

He slammed his teacup onto the table, tea splashing out.

He didn't even notice when it scalded the back of his hand, his eyes locked onto Teacher Sun.

"What did you say?!"

"The Mysterious Bureau? You dare to open even that place?"

A storm surged in Commander Qin Luo's heart.

Others might not know the nature of that place, but as the city defense commander, he knew it clearly.

It was a research institution with the highest top-secret classification in the Federation; even generals from the Four Great Military Regions might not have full access rights.

To be able to open the Mysterious Bureau's access completely...

Could it be that those dusty investigations have made progress?

Or is it that... they have already seen some kind of possibility in Su Ming?

The teacher from Imperial Capital University didn't answer, only nodded slightly, maintaining an inscrutable expression that said, "Think about it, think carefully."

Commander Qin Luo cursed inwardly.

These academics were better at holding back information than the intelligence agents.

Su Ming and Shen Qingci looked at each other, both looking bewildered.

The Mysterious Bureau?

What kind of thing is that?

Judging by the reaction, it seems pretty high-class?

However, it wasn't over yet!

The teacher from Imperial Capital University's gaze darkened slightly, clearly deciding to reveal all his cards.

"The last one."

"Specially approved by the General Administration of Awakening Education—"

"If you are willing, Imperial Capital University can set up a 'Non-Source Energy Body Cultivator' course specifically for you!

You will serve as the instructor!

This course will be directly included in the Federation's highest strategic discipline sequence!"

The meeting room was silent for a full three seconds.

Then, it exploded.

Chu Yao looked up abruptly.

Lang Qingyun opened his mouth wide, his jaw almost hitting the floor.

Even the usually calm Instructor Ying Wuhen tightened his fingers slightly.

To let a high school student who hasn't even enrolled yet, based solely on one actual combat performance, be invited to preach and teach for the Federation?

And it's a damn strategic-level discipline?!

Tie Moshan had only one thought in his mind: I've practiced boxing for forty years and haven't even managed to become a Dean of Studies, yet this kid is stepping straight to the top?

Everyone present was stunned to the core.

What kind of place is Imperial Capital University?

The undisputed highest institution of learning in the entire Federation, with hundreds of years of Source Energy combat experience, every word they dropped carried a suffocating depth of heritage.

Every condition they offered was more outrageous than the last.

Su Ming rubbed his chin, feeling that things were starting to get interesting.

The importance Imperial Capital University placed on him far exceeded his expectations.

Could it be that he was hiding some secrets that even he himself didn't know about?

He glanced at Shen Qingci from the corner of his eye.

That girl was also looking stunned, staring at him blankly, her eyes full of the question, "Is this really the stingy pervert I know?"

Su Ming scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit dazed.

So, while I've been thinking about how to exploit the System and how to farm gold coins to be a happy grinder, these big shots outside have already secretly been treating me like a precious treasure?

Just as the entire room was plunged into an absurd state of shock, Teacher Lin Qinyin, who had been observing quietly, finally moved.

Her injuries had long since healed.

At this moment, there was no trace of her instructor disguise; in its place was an innate arrogance that towered above all living beings.

She surveyed the room, her voice as cold as ice.

"As the Wall Street for Awakeners, Modu University doesn't bother with those flashy sentiments and history when offering conditions."

"Whether it's the military university or Imperial Capital University, what they can give is nothing more than petty privileges on the surface."

Teacher Lin Qinyin's gaze landed on Su Ming, her eyes like a capital tycoon eyeing an unmined gold mine.

"Do you intend to keep a peerless Genius like Su Ming trapped on this planet forever, playing in the mud and playing house with you?!"

The whole room choked.

Teacher Lin Qinyin twirled a dark gold ring on her fingertip, casually tossing out the first bombshell.

"My name is Teacher Lin Qinyin, head of the four great Families of Magic City, and also the heir to the Lin Family."

"The Federation's Source Energy minerals, military Materials, financial investments... behind most of all the economic entities you can think of, the shadow of my Lin Family stands."

She paused, seemingly enjoying the expressions on everyone's faces as they began to crack, and then threw out the second bombshell.

"But this is all small change, not worth mentioning.

The most important thing is, have you heard of—[Star Vault Heavy Industries]?"

"Hiss—"

Commander Qin Luo and Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng both gasped, their faces showing shock for the first time.

Teacher Lin Qinyin looked at Su Ming, articulating each word clearly.

Her voice was not loud, but it slammed clearly into everyone's ears:

"The only super giant in the entire Federation that possesses deep-space Source Energy jump technology and monopolizes over eighty percent of the known interstellar relic exploration routes.

That, too, is a wholly-owned industry of my Lin Family!"

"Even if the Four Great Military Regions want to go to interstellar ruins for reclamation... they have to obediently buy tickets from us!"

Su Ming's pupils shrank slightly.

Interstellar ruins?

A thunderclap exploded in his mind.

So, in this world, there are things hidden in the sky?

The map hasn't even been fully explored?

He subconsciously licked his molars.

Interstellar ruins... how many mass points must be waiting for him to farm there?

Teacher Lin Qinyin looked back at Su Ming, all her arrogance and contempt restrained, replaced by a scorching, almost greedy ambition.

A card, pitch black all over with starlight flowing on its surface, was slapped onto the table with a "pop."

"Come to Modu University."

"You will not only enjoy the Federation's highest-level [interstellar black card], with an unlimited credit limit."

"In the future, all exploration qualifications for interstellar ruins, and the top-tier interstellar navigation beacons—I will also fully open them to you."

"I can even promise to use the Federation's top technology and inexhaustible money to push your Physical Body to a limit that even the Ninth Rank cannot reach!"

Teacher Lin Qinyin leaned forward slightly, her beautiful eyes burning with a blazing flame called "conquest."

She stared at Su Ming and spoke the final sentence that made everyone present feel their scalps tingle.

"What I want is not an ordinary student who follows the rules and is coddled in an ivory tower."

"But someone who, in the future, can protect the Dao for the Lin Family, pioneer for the Human Race, step into the endless sea of stars, and wipe out all alien disasters—the Blade of Breaking the Game!"
