Chapter 778 - 231 Betting Agreement_4

Once signed, no one can escape.

"And then there’s the second issue. You used illegal means to gain administrator access to the simulation equipment, abruptly terminated an official battle, and even cheated during the battle. You should soon be facing the consequences of this matter."

"The supervision department has already gotten back to me. They’ll be at your door soon."

"Now, there’s just one last issue."

"Your termination of the simulation caused the loss of research content at Chen Ming’s research institute."

Bai Quan placed a partial list of the Fourteenth Legion’s funds in the Gallo Star Realm on the table, including the five hundred million research grant to Chen Ming’s institute.

"I allocated five hundred million per month to Chen Ming’s research institute, and the simulation lasted about a month."

"Let’s not even talk about the research content—just the wasted time and effort. We can’t skimp on this money, can we?"

"I can provide the research funding, and I’ll compensate for the lost month’s time at double the rate. This compensation plan has precedence, so don’t argue with me."

Bai Quan looked at Chen Ming, saw him nod, and then turned to Lou Wei, saying, "Good, now let’s move on to the issue with the Synchronous Accelerator Core."

"Wait a moment."

Lou Wei quickly said, "I’m not acknowledging the issue with the Synchronous Accelerator Core right now."

"I don’t understand this stuff. At least let me find someone who does before we discuss it."

Bai Quan didn’t force him, saying, "Then we’ll do as you say; you’ll have the chance to find someone."

Lou Wei suddenly stood up from the conference table and said, "Fine, I’ll unconditionally accept all the punishments I should face, but I also want to see Chen Ming get the punishment he deserves."

With that, his figure gradually faded in the conference room.

Before Lou Wei completely exited, Bai Quan said one last thing, "Whether you cheated or not hasn’t been determined. Whether it’s punishment or compensation depends on your efficiency."

After Lou Wei completely exited the simulation, no one spoke in the conference room for a while.

Bai Quan glanced around and said, "Let’s wrap it up; I’m terminating this simulation."

The students and mentors each bid their farewells, and it won’t take long before everything that happened today spreads throughout the entire Fourteenth Legion.

As the vision turned black again.

Chen Ming realized that the acceleration of his thoughts was gradually dissipating.

Soon, he opened his eyes in the cryogenic chamber-like device he lay in before entering the simulation.

At this moment, Chen Ming suddenly felt an emptiness, giving him a desire to immerse himself in deep consciousness again.

He seemed to have developed some dependence on consciousness acceleration.

Now Chen Ming understood why Cheng Xinghai said deep consciousness immersion was limited to once a month.

If not restricted, it could easily lead to addiction, much like drugs, making it impossible to leave.

However, this was only Chen Ming’s first deep consciousness immersion, and he quickly readjusted to the slow-paced thinking after stopping the acceleration.

Additionally, due to the lower acceleration rate of his body, he adapted more quickly.

Although he was slightly mentally fatigued, Chen Ming maintained a good routine, so staying up all night occasionally was no big deal.

More importantly, although Chen Ming didn’t manage to take away all the blocked information he acquired in the simulation equipment, he memorized a part of it before the simulation was terminated, at least the part no one could steal.

Among it was the design blueprint for that massive shipyard.

In other words, when Chen Ming’s colony eventually develops the capability to support constructing a massive shipyard, he will have the ability to build his own Main Ship.

Chen Ming, slightly excited, straightened up, adjusted his mindset, and climbed out of the equipment.

Just as Chen Ming was about to leave, an alert sounded from the instrument behind him: "Please collect your health monitoring report."

Chen Ming turned around and saw a piece of paper full of content come out next to the instrument.

Chen Ming casually picked up the paper and walked out of the enclosed room.

At the same time, Bai Quan also stepped out of the room next door, greeted Chen Ming, and said, "Morning."

"Morning."

"Breakfast?"

"Sure."
