Ruoqiang Base, laboratory.
Song He sat at the computer desk, holding his phone as he looked over the backend data.
670 people had signed up!
He refreshed the page, and the number was still climbing: 671, 673, 675...
"That's ridiculous!" Song He seriously suspected that the backend data was wrong.
A call suddenly came in. It was Lu Chengen!
Song He hurriedly answered and said warmly, "Teacher Lü!"
"Calling you over there is such a hassle. I called you half an hour ago, but when it connected, it was actually a switchboard operator. I thought I'd traveled through time. They questioned me for ages before transferring me to you." Lu Chengen complained.
"Ruoqiang Base is a sensitive place!" Song He chuckled. "Did you need something?"
"Of course! Didn't you just start a new course? When you were screening students in the backend, enroll me, your Senior Brother Zuo, and Senior Sister Fan!" Lu Chengen said. "The three of us signed up in 390th, 417th, and 446th place!"
Song He was dumbfounded. "Huh?"
"What is it?"
"You signed up for my course too?" Song He was stunned. "Professor, don't you feel like this is... a max-level expert returning to the beginner village to attend class?"
"I'm guessing this course of yours is selecting people for a Scientific Research Team, right?" Lu Chengen said.
"Yes!" Song He admitted.
"Then there's no problem. I haven't worked on a major project in a long time. I'll shamelessly put myself forward and help you with the research." Lu Chengen lowered his voice. "Your Senior Brother and Senior Sister are also our own people. Their research abilities may be average, but they can serve as undercover agents."
"Understood!" Song He immediately caught on. "Don't worry, Teacher. I'll select all three of you first!"
After more pleasantries,
