The Head in the Laboratory

High-end blood products are very expensive and can only be provided by a few high-end laboratories.

If it came to the price of joining Luo Gaogao's team, Zhang Manqian had no choice but to refuse.

She wasn't interested in joining Luo Gaogao's team, but Zhang Manqian was very interested in the capabilities of Luo Gaogao's team members and associates.

Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle. Obtaining information about your opponents in advance would undoubtedly be helpful for the sequencing conference.

Zhang Manqian considered leaving, but she eventually sat down again.

She wasn't alone; there were four other people there.

She came here to broaden her horizons; if she had kept a low profile, she would never have caught Luo Gaogao's eye.

Sensing the subtle hostility from the several senior brothers around her, Zhang Manqian smiled innocently.

"I've checked your records on the sequencing arena: Ma Yuan has eight wins out of ten, Li Jiming has seven wins out of ten, Fang Yuanshan has nine wins out of ten, Ding Hao has five wins out of seven, Zhang Manqian nine wins out of nine!"

Luo Hui's words sparked a competitive spirit among the crowd.

Luo Gaogao's words caused a slight change in everyone's expression, and the competitive atmosphere intensified even further.

Those who had previously paid little attention to Zhang Manqian now stared at her intently.

"My initial strike test confirmed this," Luo Gaogao said. "Among you, Zhang Manqian's abilities are more balanced."

"Young Master Luo..."

"Teamwork is all about synergy. I won't place too much emphasis on your past achievements, nor will I make premature decisions based on your strengths in one area. What I need are suitable partners, partners who can compensate for the weaknesses of our team!"

Upon hearing Luo Gaogao's message, Ding Hao couldn't help but feel that he had been eliminated too quickly.

He was anxious at first, but after hearing what Luo Gaogao said next, he calmed down a lot.

What Luo Gaogao needs are sequencers who can fill gaps in the group, not sequencers who provide a balanced pool.

As long as a sequencer can cooperate with Luo Gaogao's team in terms of combat skills, Luo Gaogao will definitely choose the most suitable person.

No one knew anything about Luo Gaogao's team; to them, everyone was practically on the same starting line.

Otherwise, Professor Luo Hui wouldn't have bothered to call all five of them over and have Luo Gaogao test them one by one.

The partner that Luo Gaogao mentioned stirred Ding Hao's heart, which likely meant that a real network of relationships was beginning to take shape.

Although this network can only be maintained in the world of young people, it will be a reliable guarantee for interest groups when young people actually take the stage.

"My blood genes can be altered," Ding Hao said. "My all-around skills are very solid, which allows me to quickly adapt to new changes and integrate into the team."

When Luo Gaogao inquired about each person's strengths, Ding Hao quickly mentioned his relatively specialized genetic combat ability, as well as the direction he could freely change.

If the blood transfusion can be arranged as soon as possible, there is indeed a possibility that his condition could change.

Although there isn't much time left before the competition, his ability to change his own genes actually gives him an advantage compared to sequencers who aren't well-matched.

Ding Hao's words made Luo Gaogao nod repeatedly.

Regardless of his abilities, Ding Hao's dedication to the team is certainly more than sufficient.

"Perhaps what you see is that I personally tend towards balanced development," Zhang Manqian said awkwardly. "My strengths aren't particularly special; I know a little bit about everything, but I'm not outstanding in anything!"

"That makes sense!"

Luo Gaogao nodded.

Luo Gaogao nodded calmly whenever he asked anyone a question.

No one knew what Luo Gaogao lacked, nor could anyone judge the decision he needed to make.

Even after everyone left the laboratory, none of them knew the outcome of their choice.

Luo Gaogao seemed to agree with everyone, but he didn't say that his team lacked any particular member.

Everyone had truly experienced the sequencing arena and possessed near-real-world combat skills. After discussing their respective achievements briefly, they dispersed and returned to their rooms.

"They were terrible, the worst group of people I've ever met!"

In the laboratory, Luo Gaogao's expression was calm, but what he said was completely different from before.

"How can these few oddballs possibly shine at the sequencing conference?" Luo Gaogao frowned.

"Their sequencing record is quite good," Luo Hui said. "Especially Zhang Manqian's nine wins out of nine, which even surprised me a bit!"

"She just got lucky," Luo Gaogao said. "The sequencing arena is always arranged so that each battle is stronger than the last. She must have gotten lucky; otherwise, she wouldn't have taken so long to complete ten battles!"

"Good luck can sometimes be a form of strength!"

Luo Hui gave a lukewarm evaluation.

Luo Hui also went through a youthful phase, and personally, I feel that the group of advanced students under his command are already quite good young masters.

However, when Luo Gaogao brought Zhou Tianhao from the Zhou family as a comparison, this group of people undoubtedly paled in comparison; no one could be compared to Zhou Tianhao.

As one of the most outstanding young members of the Zhou family, Zhou Tianhao may not be the strongest sequencer in the Red Alliance, but he is undoubtedly the most defensive sequencer among the younger generation.

However, Zhou Tianhao, who was best at defense, stood Luo Gaogao up, leaving him with only four main attackers.

The previous combination completely collapsed.

At this point, Luo Gaogao either needs to find a defensively skilled player to replace Zhou Tianhao, or he needs to form a completely new team to compete.

But after meeting many sequencers, and even personally testing them, Luo Gaogao always felt that whether it was a new team or someone else replacing Zhou Tianhao, they would all be inferior to his original team.

"That Zuo Teng is despicable," Luo Gaogao said with disgust. "He's not strong enough, so he resorts to underhanded tactics and directly dismantled my team's championship aspirations."

"You need to understand that his approach is a strategic move," Luo Hui corrected. "Compared to directly confronting your team, it's much easier for him to dismantle your team."

"The future of the Scarlet Alliance State doesn't need someone like him," Luo Gaogao said, slightly angrily. "Scheming and manipulative tactics won't make our country strong."

"Or you could use another word: this behavior is wisdom!"

Luo Hui looked at his grandson.

The varying levels of technological advancement across generations have also created distinct new generations of individuals.

Compared to the older members of the Luo family, Luo Gaogao is undoubtedly the best talent the Luo family has developed during their youth.

But the path paved by his Lineage made Luo Gaogao's growth too smooth.

In Luo Hui's time, Zuo Teng's behavior was quite common.

In the real adult world, people like Zuo Teng are as numerous as carp crossing a river.

If one cannot strike a balance between interests and social interactions, friends with whom one usually jokes and laughs can easily lead to feelings of betrayal when making choices.

Luo Hui felt that Luo Gaogao lacked character, and experiencing more setbacks like this wouldn't be bad.

If you can't have that kind of 'wisdom,' at least you should have the ability to take precautions.

"I disdain such wisdom. As long as we are strong enough, others will naturally submit willingly," Luo Gao declared emphatically. "The pursuit of strength is the true foundation!"

That's not wrong!

Luo Hui nodded.

He looked at his grandson, whose ideas were completely different from his own, and did not try to correct him.

Only after Luo Gaogao left the laboratory did Luo Hui get up from the cork chair.

He turned and took a few steps, then switched on an electric current to a glass jar containing a human skull.

A hissing sound of electricity rang out, and the head submerged in the glass jar slowly opened its eyes.

"His Majesty!"

Luo Hui spoke with respect, but his eyes held extreme wariness.

He gripped the controller tightly and began to ask the other party for their judgment on a certain matter.
