Without Feng Gan's obstruction and the joint recommendation of two Level 4 researchers allowed Qi Yuan to encounter no obstacles in the subsequent process of becoming a Level 2 researcher.

Qi Yuan also created the record of being promoted from an assistant to a second-level researcher as soon as possible.

The next morning, news that Qi Yuan was promoted to a second-level researcher quickly spread throughout the laboratory. Although some people questioned that Qi Yuan had no conditions for promotion, with the delivery of the latest issue of "Hope", all the doubts turned into praise and sigh.

Not all assistant researchers can publish independently signed papers in Hope, and they can also let Ai Xin write comments personally. That is the honor that many researchers dream of.

The last 120 academic points and 200 academic points made many researchers who had not yet advanced to level 2 envious of the separation of the mass wall.

In short, most researchers below the third level have seen what they desire in Qi Yuan's paper.

Desert Department, 7th floor, Room 0707.

Among the rumors, Mo Sheng, who had been cultivating after being severely injured by Xu Geng, read the pushed news in the office through virtual projection.

"This Qi Yuan, like you, came in from the Heigang Shelter. Do you know him?" Mo Sheng asked suddenly.

Fu Qingqing, who was standing upright, shook her head.

"I've never heard of this name."

"A such a good seedling actually fell into Tan Qiu's hands." Mo Sheng shook his head with some regret.

"How did Ling You reply?" Mo Sheng asked.

"Before the assessment, Ling You applied for a quota for the Desolation Investigation Department for Qi Yuan, but Qi Yuan did not choose the Desolation Investigation Department in the end, but chose the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory." Fu Qingqing said.

Mo Sheng coughed lightly for a few times, and a hint of flush appeared on his face. Fu Qingqing immediately walked behind him and patted him gently on his back. At the same time, he pulled out a silver-gray potion from his pocket and prepared to inject Mo Sheng.

Mo Sheng waved his hand and stopped Fu Qingqing's movements.

"Your injuries--" Fu Qingqing was obviously a little worried.

As a powerful abilities at the peak of level 6, Mo Sheng has strong defense and recovery abilities. Ordinary injuries cannot last for so long. The injury that can prevent him from healing for so long means that he has already reached the foundation.

"It's okay!" Mo Sheng said softly.

"Xu Geng is already a seventh-level apocalypse ability. Although he hurt me, he also pointed out a path to the seventh-level. When I thoroughly analyze this power, I will almost take the last step!"

"I won't talk about me anymore, how is your energy weapon activation progressing?" Mo Sheng asked.

Fu Qingqing shook her head.

"I don't know yet. The energy weapon in my hand is too low in activity. The current activation level is not more than 10%.

After pondering for a moment, Mo Sheng said slowly: "Some things should be left to professionals. I suggest you hand over the activation of weapons to the laboratory. You have other things to do, so you should not waste too much time on it."

Fu Qingqing shook her head stubbornly.

"I want to try it again!"

The activation of energy weapons has always been a problem for middle-level abilities, but as long as it can be activated, it will also be a huge improvement in strength.

"You!" Mo Sheng shook his head with a wry smile.

Fu Qingqing's stubbornness and unyieldingness are often a beautiful quality. It is precisely because of this resilience that she can stand out from the wilderness and advance to level 4 so quickly.

But at some times, this stubbornness will make her penetrate into a dead end, such as the activation of the energy weapon in her hand.

"I'll give you another ten days. If there is still no progress, I will go to Tan Qiu and meet this Qi Yuan by the way. It's rare for young people as bold as him to see!"

Although Fu Qingqing was a little unwilling, she nodded when she saw that Mo Sheng had made a decision.

In the laboratory, Tan Qiu led Qi Yuan to visit various departments to get familiar with the environment, and finally took Qi Yuan to an independent laboratory.

"From today, within one year, this laboratory is at your disposal. There are three assistants in your name, you can apply for it yourself."

"After a year, if you want to continue owning this lab, there are only two ways. One is to continue renting this lab at a rent of ten academic points per year, and the other is to advance to a Level 3 researcher. Level 3 researcher can own a lab for free forever."

"The instruments in the laboratory will be configured according to the standards of secondary researchers. If you want more experimental instruments, you can apply for them through the project, or purchase or rent them through the academic point."

"As you now, as long as you don't leave the shelter, even Ke Shoulin and Feng Qian will not dare to do anything to you. Don't worry about safety."

Before Tan Qiu finished speaking, Zheng Yan immediately inserted and said, "As long as you are willing to go to Storm Shelter, these conditions can be doubled for you!"

Tan Qiu has ignored Zheng Yan and continued: "The second-level researcher is already qualified to lead the experimental project independently. If you have a suitable project, you can write a project application. After the application is approved, the laboratory will evaluate the project based on the level, principle, significance, and influence of the project, and give corresponding special funds for the project promotion."

"However, one thing you need to note is that if you apply for the lab project funding, although the final experimental results belong to you, it also means that the experimental results must be made public to the academic committee. When publishing the paper, the lab name needs to be added after your name."

"If anyone else wants to use your research results, they will pay a certain academic point to the academic committee, which will be allocated to the academic committee, the laboratory, and yourself in a ratio of 2:3:5!"

Qi Yuan nodded. Listening to Tan Qiu's introduction, he began to slowly realize the strength of the academic committee. Human nature always has a selfish side. Not everyone is willing to disclose their research results to others. Although this sharing will bring rich returns, some things are not simple returns of interest.

The academic committee has largely broken the barriers of human selfishness. Even if some people still retain their selfishness, they cannot change the general trend created by the academic committee.

"The Berserker before you didn't use any lab funds, so he didn't have to share the lab, but the part of the academic committee must be given."

"The academic committee takes your share and will also protect your rights. If anyone imitates your berserker without authorization, the academic committee will come forward to stop it and will punish it according to the circumstances. If your interests are damaged, the academic committee will also make subrogative compensation."

Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows, not expecting that the academic committee's patent awareness is so strong. However, it is precisely because of these methods of the academic committee that they can break the academic closure while protecting the interests of researchers.

After visiting the laboratory, Tan Qiu suddenly said:

"With Feng Gan, this storm may not have much impact on him. You must be mentally prepared."

Qi Yuan nodded and expressed his understanding. As a fourth-level researcher, Feng Gan certainly could not have capsized because of a third-level mechanical armed force.

In the new era where power is respected, although there are laws in the shelter, when the status gap between the two sides is too large, you will find that the laws in the new era may be willing to protect the weak, but that's all. Its real role is to help the strong and maintain the order at the bottom of the world.

"For the academic committee, every level 4 researcher is a very valuable asset. Unless you get conclusive evidence, the academic committee will not easily move a level 4 researcher. This is a privilege of level 4 researcher!"

"But after this incident, the academic committee should send someone to warn Feng Gan in a vague way. In future research, the academic committee should use other means to compensate you."

"Will Feng Gan suffer such a big loss be calm for a while?" Qi Yuan asked.

"Not necessarily." Tan Qiu said slowly.

"However, with Feng Gan's character, he will definitely not give up. Within the scope permitted by the rules, he will probably use some means to suppress you. You must be mentally prepared."

"It seems that the lesson I have taught him is not enough!" Qi Yuan said with a smile.

"One day, he will probably calm down if he really hurts him."

Tan Qiu shook his head silently in his heart. As a fourth-level researcher, how could Feng Gan be so easy to deal with? If it weren't for his own anxiousness and flaws, he wouldn't have suffered such a big loss. It would be better to be afraid of Feng Gan.

After skipping Feng Gan's work, Tan Qiu continued:

"The arms dealers attracted by the Berserkers have gathered in the living room and are all yelling to see you. You can deal with these things first and then start writing project applications. If you want to gain a foothold in the laboratory, the best way is to come up with your experimental results!"

Although Tan Qiu also hoped to put Qi Yuan in her laboratory, she also knew very well that Qi Yuan would not be willing to surrender and would definitely choose to set up a project team by herself.

Qi Yuan nodded, as a response to Tan Qiu's suggestion.

I tried my best and became a second-level researcher in one fell swoop. In order to avoid becoming a material for the angel, I would not be worse than anyone else when I work alone.

"Do you need someone to accompany you?" Tan Qiu asked suddenly.

The arms dealers are all old foxes, and newcomers are easily deceived and suffered losses by them.

"Don't worry, let them go for a while first, I can handle it myself." Qi Yuan said.

Tan Qiu nodded and said no more. Although those arms dealers were all unfunctory, this is a laboratory, which can be regarded as Qi Yuan's home court. With Qi Yuan's heart, it should be enough to deal with it.

After walking around the laboratory, Tan Qiu turned around and left, and Zheng Yan quickly got involved. He still had many places to communicate with Qi Yuan's core energy matrix.

Qi Yuan did not refuse Zheng Yan's invitation. After all, Zheng Yan is a Level 4 researcher, and he jointly recommended him to help him overcome an obstacle. He has to receive this affection.

Time flies so fast, and when Zheng Yan left satisfied, it was already afternoon.

Qi Yuan took a look at the time, and then Shi Shiran went to the living room, preparing to meet these arms dealers for a while.

In the living room, there were seven arms dealers. After being hung by Qi Yuan for a while, the few of them became much quieter. While flipping through the "Hope" in their hands, they were chatting without saying a word.

Except for one of these people, one from the Black Steel Shelter, the other six came from other shelters, and even had shelters under the Gate of Truth.

As a qualified arms dealer, exploring business opportunities from these top journals is the most basic operation!

"This Qi Yuan is really calm!" An arms dealer from the Triumph Shelter said with a wry smile.

"He was a vagrant born in a wilderness. Why is he so arrogant in front of us? According to my opinion, we shouldn't wait for him here. He should be waiting for us!" Another man said hatefully.

"I think Lao Yue is right. He just entered the laboratory from the wilderness. His foundation is unstable. He has no resources and no connections. He should be very eager to convert the Berserker into resources. Why not join forces to grasp him and leave together and let him come and ask us!"

"This is reasonable!"

"It should be like this!"

The other few people agreed, waiting for someone to leave, but the few people watched for a while, but found that everyone was talking and leaving, but they didn't move at all, and they had no intention of leaving.

"Okay, everyone knows the truth. Who did these methods deceive?" An arms dealer who had never spoken could not help but say.

"If only two or three companies come, they can join forces to reduce the price and try to grasp it. Now that there are seven companies coming, who will leave at this time without any wits!"

"Hey! I'm idle too. Even if I can only fool one of them, I can lose one competitor!" said another arms dealer Youyou.

"We have been waiting for a long time now, and Qi Yuan hasn't come to take a look, and I don't know how long it will take!"

"If you can't wait, you can leave first. Don't waste your time here!"

...

The door of the reception room suddenly opened, and Qi Yuan, dressed in a black robe, walked in from outside.

The living room suddenly fell silent for a few seconds, and then became lively again.
