This is not mechanical ascension. - Chapter 288

“But we need to wait for the follow-up confirmation…” The person in charge’s eyes flickered.

Soon, the test was completed. Li Ming just turned around and saw the person in charge not far away coming up to him with a very respectful attitude: “Mr. Qinglong, is it okay?”

Hmm? Why did this guy’s attitude change so much?

Li Ming didn’t understand and shook his head and said, “Just take a look. The credibility of Black Hole Network is definitely fine.”

The person in charge smiled and nodded. They have always been vigorous and resolute in doing things. They left quickly after unloading the goods.

Looking at the transport ship leaving Black Hole Network, Li Ming’s eyes were scattered, and he thought of the Black Hole Hall mentioned by An Ye.

Thinking about whether to do a similar angel investor in the future.

However, Black Hole Network is able to do this kind of thing based on huge data support.

Shaking his head and putting these distracting thoughts behind him, his eyes were a little hot. This time, the metal energy will break the record again.

Li Ming immediately asked people to transport these materials into the studio he had prepared long ago.

Sixteen rooms were connected from top to bottom, five meters high and ten meters long, which could hold all these materials.

Then he did not allow anyone to approach the studio, even An Ye, on the grounds that this technology was confidential.

Let Lei himself, Tepper, guard it around the clock.

An Ye did not agree with this. He was not interested in understanding the refining process, let alone understanding it. As long as the gun could be repaired, it would be fine.

After receiving the goods, Li Ming did not let the fleet leave, but temporarily stopped here.

Now everything is led by him. Although he was confused, no one had any objections.

And he stayed in the studio for a whole day and night.

Ninety-six million!

In the studio, Li Ming looked at the series of numbers on the control page and couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Only four million was needed to break through the 100 million mark.

It was almost the same as he estimated. The metal materials worth 10 billion plus the freight had exceeded 11 billion. Even with An Ye’s side, there was no discount on the freight.

But in the end, only 92 million was withdrawn, and 4 million was his own balance.

A sense of fullness came to his heart, as if it was filled.

Without hesitation, Li Ming took out the [Heart of Talos], and 60 million metal energies surged out, like a surging river and sea, completely enveloping the black and yellow heart from an unknown level.

Immediately afterwards, the heart disappeared in his hands, consuming 60 million metal energies at one time, and the sense of fullness that had just surged disappeared without a trace in less than a few minutes.

But Li Ming couldn’t wait to open the control page.

He began to carefully check the description of [Heart of Talos]. The most important thing was [Star Breaking Power]

[Star Breaking Power: Get 4000% power blessing. ]

Li Ming was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes shone brightly. How much?

40 times?

It is worthy of being an S-level control object, simple and rough enough, and it is an effect blessing, and there will be no overlap.

Low-level control objects all depend on data blessing, while high-level control objects have all kinds of incredible abilities, and they can be used as the core to build a special control system.

For [Heart of Talos], the [Transplant] ability can convert strength blessing into the other three basic blessings at will.

This also means that he does not need to deliberately look for other control objects, one is equal to four.

More importantly, the other blessings converted can overlap, what is this concept.

He can use [Justice Gauntlet] as a blueprint and copy multiple identical control objects.

Originally, the strength blessing brought by its ability will overlap, which has no effect and is equivalent to a waste, but the other blessings converted by [Heart of Talos] will not overlap.

One [Justice Gauntlet] is equivalent to 28 times the speed blessing, or defense blessing, or physical blessing. What if multiple overlap?

It’s exciting to think about it.

Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. With this thing, he can save a lot of energy. Unfortunately, the strength blessing itself cannot be superimposed.

But each [Justice Gauntlet] requires 10 million metal energy as a base.

“Although it is expensive, it is worth it. I can recycle other control objects and it will not be so bloated.” Li Ming pondered.

As he came into contact with more and more control objects and his abilities became stronger and stronger, his control system has been changing.

It is more suitable for him, using the least metal energy to exchange for the most powerful blessing.

“There is no rush for this matter. I can get two first.”

Then, taking a deep breath, he tried to activate the ability [Transplant] of [Heart of Talos] to replace his heart.

He was cautious, but… when the ability was activated, his pupils suddenly contracted, like a thunderclap in his ears, and he felt an explosive pain in his heart.

The surface of his skin instantly stretched out thick blood vessels like a black grid, and then his face turned red to the extreme, and then his eyes went black.

When he regained consciousness again, he could only see a piece of light, filling the whole world.

“This is…”

His mind seemed to have left his body, floating in an endless ocean of light, and he could not feel his body at all.

He consciously controlled his body to make a fist.

But nothing happened. He looked down and saw nothing, and he didn’t know what form he existed in.

Where is this place?

Li Ming was puzzled. There was nothing around him, only an endless golden light slowly rising and falling. There was no ground under his feet, and no sky above him.

This golden light was bright but not dazzling. They floated around him in a continuous piece, gently and slowly like water waves.

But suddenly, they began to stir and boil, as if they sensed something.

Li Ming was puzzled. Before he could figure out what was going on, he found that the golden light like the ocean faded to both sides.

In an instant, his vision was infinitely withdrawn, and Li Ming’s heart was filled with turbulent waves. Only then did he realize that this was not a golden ocean, but the center of the pupil of a huge eye.

Suddenly, his eyes went black again, and a sense of a substantial body rose up, and he had returned to the studio.

He couldn’t help but clench his fists and take a long breath, only to find that the speed of his heart beat was beyond imagination.

He hurriedly released his ability, frowning.

“It must be the abnormality brought by that heart… Where is that place, a certain dimensional world?” Li Ming guessed, and tried to use the [Transplant] ability again.

Fortunately, everything was normal this time.

“It seems that this is only the first time. This heart has other secrets.” Li Ming frowned, without any clues.

It’s useless to think about it like this. Since the heart is in his hands, he will know what’s going on sooner or later.

“Right now, there’s another thing.”

Li Ming pondered and took off the mimicry mask on his face. On the back of the translucent, thin skin, there are dense circuit lines.

This is what he wants to upgrade. As the level of the life forms he contacts becomes higher and higher, his vest identity becomes more and more unsafe. He doesn’t know when it will be exposed, so the concealment must be enhanced.

However, this thing is not top-notch, and it only costs 6 million to upgrade.

Li Ming is now rich and powerful, and he pursues excellence. He is very dissatisfied.

He simply redesigned the drawings and piled up the camouflage to the extreme in terms of the basics, such as hair, pupils, ears, voice, skin color, fingerprints, and it can also shield infrared sound waves, electromagnetic and other detection equipment.

After a busy period, the next day, a brand new mimicry mask was produced.

[Mimicry mask–C level: a specially designed camouflage mask.

Control conditions: 8,000 metal energy points

…】

Just a C-level control object requires 8,000 metal energy points. After a little strengthening with mother ore, it is definitely a top-level control object.

With great wealth, Li Ming went straight to A-level, strengthening mother ore, consuming metal energy, assisting with alienated energy, and upgrading to external materialization.

The main thing is that even if this thing is used by the controller, it is just a layer of mimicry mask on the surface of the skin, which is not much different.

[Ghost Human Skin–A-level: Top-level camouflage mask, almost integrated with the life form.

Control effect: Root camouflage

Control ability-mimicry: change any appearance]

[Root camouflage: obtain 1000% concealment blessing, and converge the information state of the life form. 】

A simple sentence, but it made Li Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

Converging information state, this is the ability he wants, and fortunately he has it.

…

At the same time, a rapid alarm suddenly sounded in the command room of the main ship.

“Alarm, an unknown flying object is approaching rapidly. Please verify the other party’s identity as soon as possible.”

“…”

Hearing the alarm, the drowsy staff suddenly woke up. After a flurry of activity, they quickly operated and connected to the other party’s channel:

“Warning, please report your identity quickly. You have entered our warning area…”

“Qinglong asked me to come.” A dull voice suddenly sounded in the channel, and the command room, which was originally tense, fell into silence.

“It seems that there is such a person. His Excellency Qinglong came to talk about it two days ago.” Someone whispered.

“Then let it go.” The commander-in-chief looked complicated and raised his hand.

The slender shuttle transport ship quickly docked on the main ship, the hatch opened, Monroe looked around, and couldn’t help but ponder in his heart: “Is this the fleet of the Torch Organization? Why is it so small…”

While thinking, his mechanical pupils flickered slightly, and a familiar figure was standing not far away.

“Your Excellency Qinglong…” Monroe breathed a sigh of relief. His coming here was inherently risky, after all, it was the Torch Organization’s fleet.

His current strength was even less than one tenth of what it could be. If something unexpected happened, he would be finished.

But seeing that Qinglong could move freely here, there shouldn’t be a big problem.

“I’m here…” Li Ming had already walked up. The two greeted each other and didn’t say much. He then ordered the staff beside him: “Move all the things on this spaceship to the door of my studio.”

“Yes!” The staff behind him nodded, including Brother Zog, who Li Ming was familiar with.

“Your Excellency Qinglong…” Monroe’s appearance had changed into a mimic human form. Seeing this, he couldn’t help but feel a little worried. After all, it was a member of the Torch Organization, and he didn’t trust it.

“Don’t worry, it’s okay.” Li Ming smiled. Monroe was worried, but he couldn’t say much, so he had to move aside.

“You came two days later than expected.” Li Ming said casually.

“We encountered a tidal storm from the Red River Star Spirit on the way, so we had to stop.”

“I thought so too.”

The two chatted intermittently and entered the main ship from the deck entrance.

“Your Excellency Qinglong…”

“Your Excellency Qinglong…”

Monroe looked at the Torch Organization members who stopped and greeted Qinglong with strange eyes.

Is Qinglong’s status so high?

Monroe was a little surprised. He knew that Qinglong was suspected to be a Forge-level mechanic, but his strength was not strong. He should not deliberately show it.

Suddenly, his expression paused, and the dark blue eyes disguised by mechanical pupils suddenly became much deeper.

He saw an acquaintance, gray pupils – Theo.

He used to be his top thug, tenacious, and would do anything for revenge.

More than 40 years have passed, and it is said that his development progress has exceeded 90%, infinitely close to his former self.

Now that they suddenly meet, there are inevitably some complicated emotions in his heart.

Then, he was slightly nervous and found that Theo stopped.

Although several people under his command were very loyal until he and Reiner had a big fight, so many years have passed, Ulrich has long been unrecognizable, let alone Theo.

If the other party finds out, it will be a big trouble.

Theo’s eyes are indeed very strange, but he just glanced over him, then looked at Qinglong beside him and nodded slightly.

Monroe was slightly stunned, and then slightly surprised. Theo has been under his command for many years, and he knows him very well.

He is a taciturn person, and it is basically impossible to make him show respect.

This attitude is already a manifestation of the other party’s politeness and even respect.

“Has Qinglong convinced him?” Monroe was secretly surprised, and was a little curious about what happened during this period.

Why did the man’s eyes feel familiar? Theo looked back and his eyes flickered.

As a mechanical modified body, Monroe can naturally change his behavioral characteristics at will, and it is impossible for people to see the clues at will.

Passing through all the way, Monroe was more and more surprised, and found that Qinglong was here like at home, comfortable and casual.

“Your Excellency Qinglong…” Suddenly there was a shout from behind, and Monroe turned his head and looked, and he couldn’t help but be startled. This person didn’t look special.

But he couldn’t scan any data of the other party, even the most basic data such as height could not be obtained.

The information state was isolated, Monroe’s heart was shocked, and then it was incredible. Natural life forms want to reach this level, at least S-level life forms.

“Who is this?” An Ye looked at Monroe with inquiry in his eyes.

“An old friend, absolutely no problem.” Li Ming explained.

An Ye nodded slightly, not afraid that Qing Long would backstab him, he was confident that he could take away anyone who dared to backstab him at the last moment.

An Ye just looked Qing Long up and down, his eyes became more and more strange, and then he couldn’t help but say: “Mr. Qing Long, you are really a cautious person.”

He actually didn’t notice Qing Long’s information state.

“Be prepared.” Li Ming grinned, and neither of them talked in depth.

“Who was that just now?” Monroe was still shocked. There was actually an S-level life form inside the Torch Organization.

“An Ye…” Li Ming explained casually.

“An Ye?” Monroe frowned at first, and then his mechanical pupils moved at high speed, and the blue light flashed, and he blurted out: “The person who assassinated Grand Duke Gu Ya!”
