570: Chapter 569 Mentor, may I call you that?

Under the guidance of Secretary-General Liu.

Zhao Ming walked to the door, adjusted his clothes, and gently pushed it open.

An office that was exaggeratedly large appeared before his eyes.

A space of over three hundred square meters, with a minimalist and high-tech design, and a massive panoramic floor-to-ceiling window that occupied almost the entire wall.

It was very quiet in the office.

The night outside was deep; beyond the massive floor-to-ceiling window were the brilliant lights of the research center and the deep night sky.

A young figure was sitting with his back to him on a large office chair, gazing at the night view outside the window.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the person slowly turned the chair around.

It was Lin Mo.

Zhao Ming's heart skipped a beat for no reason.

Secretary-General Liu nodded at him, then retreated and closed the office door behind him.

In the vast office, only he and Lin Mo remained.

"You're here? Sit."

Lin Mo had a hint of a smile on his face, gesturing to the seat opposite him.

"Chief Designer Lin."

Zhao Ming's heart accelerated again, but he maintained a calm appearance.

He walked to the seat and sat down, his back straight.

"No need to be so formal."

Lin Mo smiled, personally picked up a teacup from the side table, and poured a glass of water for Zhao Ming.

"How do you feel, having just woken up from the dream?"

"A bit... unreal."

Zhao Ming took the water glass and answered truthfully, "It felt like I had a very, very long dream."

"Did you guess halfway through that it was actually a test?" Lin Mo asked with great interest.

Zhao Ming thought for a moment, shook his head, then nodded.

"I really didn't know at the beginning."

"I thought I had actually time-traveled. I even suspected for a while if you had developed a time machine, sent us back to ancient times, and incidentally given us a system cheat."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Zhao Ming also started laughing.

He continued, "It was only in the last few generations that I slowly realized this probably wasn't time travel, but some form of virtual reality technology I couldn't understand."

"But I still didn't dare to be sure. It wasn't until I woke up in reality that I finally confirmed it."

"Hmm, not bad. Since you guessed it..." Lin Mo restrained his smile, his eyes becoming serious.

"Then you should also be aware that all your actions during the Hundred Generations of Reincarnation were recorded and evaluated."

"Zhao Ming, aren't you worried that you might be eliminated?"

Facing Lin Mo's questioning, Zhao Ming did not panic.

He looked directly into Lin Mo's eyes and said calmly, "I am afraid, but if I had to do it again, I would still do the same."

"Why?"

Facing Lin Mo's gaze, which seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, Zhao Ming did not dodge at all.

He even smiled, carrying a calmness and confidence that didn't match his age.

"Because... that is my essence, and also my core competitiveness."

"In all of China, there shouldn't be many young people who could do better than me. I have that confidence."

"This is where my value lies."

Lin Mo watched him quietly, not speaking.

The office fell into a brief silence.

For a long time, Lin Mo's face revealed a smile again.

"Well said."

"Congratulations, student Zhao Ming, you have successfully passed the assessment."

"From today on, you are officially included in the China Seed Project. What are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, a genuinely heartfelt smile finally appeared on Zhao Ming's face.

It was a smile that belonged to a young man.

"My thoughts are..."

"Mentor, from now on, may I call you that?"
