Chapter 110 The dust has settled and the bullet is in hand

Li Ming didn't take this little episode to heart. The next day, he went to the training room to develop gene seeds as if nothing had happened.

On the Blue Star network, discussions about him gradually faded, along with the affairs of the Heluo Galaxy, as if all the anger and red faces were just a few years ago.

The charm of StarNet is nothing more than this.

But beneath this seemingly calming storm, undercurrents are still surging.

Three days later, at the Sera Embassy, ​​Sein stopped in front of the gate at the end of the corridor. A large tree with lush branches and leaves was carved on the door. He straightened his clothes and then knocked on the door.

"Come in..." The voice was a little hoarse and mixed with fatigue.

He opened the door a crack and squeezed in sideways. "Head of the envoy, are you looking for me?"

It was noon, but the room was dark. The LCD glass blocked out all sunlight. A virtual flame burned in the fireplace, and there was a faint crackling sound.

The head of the delegation sat at a square table, with the emblem of the Sera civilization - a flag embroidered with green trees - placed on his right.

"sit."

Saiyin sat down hesitantly. For some reason, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, which made him ask: "Captain of the Mission, what's wrong?"

"About three hours ago, contact with Star Crown Knight Tara and his knights was lost." The leader of the delegation sighed sadly and rubbed his brows.

"What!?" Saiyin stood up suddenly and paced back and forth: "How could this happen? Can you confirm what happened?"

The head of the delegation shook his head: "We have tried all the methods. Tara seems to have completely disappeared. It is very likely that she has fallen into the hands of Wu Yanqing."

"Fell into Wu Yanqing's hands? That's impossible!" Saiyin shook his head decisively. "The Star Crown Knight is a B-level lifeform, and he has his Knights to assist him. How could he be captured by Wu Yanqing?"

"Nothing is impossible." The head of the delegation said sadly, "He is Wu Yanqing."

"Two hours ago, the Blue Star government urged the Heluo Galaxy to announce the referendum results. This is clearly a threat to us."

Saiyin's face was tense. He had never expected something like this to happen. At the same time, he heard the head of the envoy continue, "The think tank analyzed that Wu Yanqing's trip to the Guast galaxy was a trap, designed to lure a Class B lifeform there and capture it."

"We fell into the trap, too."

"So?" Sein frowned. "What do the higher-ups think now?"

"The Star Crown Knight is a B-level life form and a member of the royal family. He must not die. The top leaders are inclined to propose peace talks with Blue Star." said the head of the delegation.

"Absolutely not!" Saiyin's voice suddenly became high-pitched. "If we propose peace talks, wouldn't it be like Blue Star admitting defeat, and all our efforts would be wasted."

"What else?" The head of the delegation frowned with a cold expression.

"I don't believe Wu Yanqing will really kill the Star Crown Knight!" Saiyin said in a deep voice: "Killing the Star Crown Knight is to provoke a war."

"Sain!" The head of the delegation suddenly interrupted and stood up, his eyes filled with anger: "Do you still remember who you are?"

"Is our goal to provoke war?" the head of the delegation shouted. "Every confrontation is just a means, a method, a way to make a profit."

"You've put Wu Yanqing in a difficult position. What if he really kills the Star Crown Knight? Do you want your compatriots to be caught in the war?"

Saiyin tried to explain: "Head of the embassy, ​​Prince Baijan..."

"Don't mention Prince Baijan to me!" the head of the envoy said fiercely, "If he wants to deal with Wu Yanqing so badly, why doesn't he do it himself?"

"Idiot! What we fear is the Itlan civilization. He cannot be the master of the Itlan civilization, and you cannot be the master of the Sera civilization!" The head of the delegation refuted without any shame.

Sein remained silent. He understood very well the relationship between the Itlan civilization and many other civilizations in the Silver Cluster. It was a complex relationship of mutual support, mutual fear, and mutual checks and balances.

With the strength of the Itlan civilization, it is possible to exterminate a civilization, but even they would not do it easily.

To exterminate a civilization is not simply to eliminate its leader or destroy its capital planet, as that will only arouse endless hatred.

The torch, which has been rekindled, is a constant reminder to the Itlan civilization that destroying a planet may bring temporary pleasure, but the harm will last for thousands of years.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, such incidents of genocide rarely occur in the interstellar space.

Under this premise, even if the Itlan civilization exploits various civilizations, it will maintain a relatively tolerable range.

There is not much interference in the internal affairs of the major civilizations, and it is even less likely that Prince Baijan will directly order the heads of the major civilizations.

"I understand." Saiyin's expression calmed down. He already knew that this matter was doomed. "Then why did you ask me to come?"

If his opinion is not important, why call him here?

"Your men can stop now. There is no need to target anyone next time." The head of the delegation stared at him.

Saiyin took a deep breath and slowly uttered a word: "Yes"

Two more days

"...According to the referendum results for the Heluo Galaxy, only 40% voted in favor, which does not meet the requirements for independence. Furthermore, the virus investigation committee stated that some of the evidence related to Professor Wu Yanqing's human experiments was fabricated..."

Li Ming was scrolling through the news, feeling a little emotional. It seemed that the matter was over, as Old Wu had the upper hand. He didn't know what exactly happened.

He was curious and immediately went to Luochuan to ask.

Luo Chuan was also waiting for him in the office. He was obviously in a good mood. He asked him to sit down and poured him a glass of water.

Without waiting for Li Ming to ask, he said, "The teacher captured Tara and forced the Sera civilization to make concessions."

"Tara?"

"He's a Star Crown Knight of the Sera civilization," Luo Chuan briefly introduced, adding, "A Class B life form."

Li Ming was surprised. A B-level life form, could it be caught just like that?

"What level of life form is the teacher?" He couldn't help but ask, "He should be a superpower, right?"

Before meeting Wu Yanqing, he heard that due to some accidents, Professor Wu was unable to follow the path of genetic evolution. Later, after gradually getting in touch with him, he guessed that Wu Yanqing was most likely a person with superpowers.

"The teacher wasn't originally a psychic, but a genetically evolved being, a Class C life form." Luo Chuan shrugged, leaning on the table. "When he and Princess Asmara were on an expedition, something unexpected happened, and his gene seed was removed."

"Later, the teacher somehow awakened his supernatural powers again."

The gene seed was removed, and the superpowers were awakened. It sounds like there are some secrets hidden.

"If my guess is correct, Fu Zongchen's accusations should be dropped soon." Luo Chuan sneered, "He's a guy who plays with the wind."

Luochuan's guess was correct. By the afternoon, Fu Zongchen withdrew the charges against Wu Yanqing and related personnel.

However, there was also a piece of unexpected news and an invitation for Li Ming.

"Let Fu Zongchen serve as a member of the candidate committee?" Li Ming looked at the latest transfer order from the Blue Star government and couldn't help but wonder: "Is this a promotion?"

"The members of the candidate committee are candidates for the chairperson. The three chairpersons have been elected from among them in previous years. Although there are a large number of them, they are extremely suggestive." Luo Chuan's face turned cold.

"Blue Star has the upper hand, and he still hasn't forgotten to appease Prince Baijan, what a politician."

According to common sense, Blue Star has the upper hand over the Sera civilization, and Wu Yanqing has made great efforts.

Fu Zongchen, the person who targeted him, must be severely punished no matter what.

However, because Fu Zongchen was working for Prince Baijan, in order not to make the prince look too bad, he had to be promoted to express his attitude.

"Banquet invitation, and you even remembered to invite us, huh..." Luo Chuan threw the invitation letter aside.

This was Fu Zongchen's inauguration banquet, and inviting them was obviously to resolve the conflict.

Li Ming opened it and took a look. The time was ten days later, at noon after his inauguration ceremony.

Estimating the time, Li Ming smiled and said, "Brother, they've already given us a way out. Why should we be so arrogant? Since we can't fight in a short time, we might as well ease the relationship."

Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows, a little surprised: "Why, you want to go?"

Li Ming nodded.

Luo Chuan thought for a moment and sighed, "Forget it, you're right, let's calm down first."

………

At the same time, smoke and dust swept across a desert, reaching the sky. The ground was covered with deep pits caused by explosions and cracks and gullies hundreds of meters long. Scattered scrap metal debris was emitting billowing black smoke, as if a war had just taken place.

In the wreckage of half a spaceship, Wu Yanqing was immersed in a tank of green liquid, with only half of his head exposed. On his right arm, only a bone frame was left, but muscle fibers and blood vessels were slowly growing.

There were also injuries of varying degrees in other parts of the body.

A figure was fastened to a circular strong magnetic lock not far away, his limbs were wrapped in alloy chains, and a thick metal probe was inserted into his spine, making him unable to move and roaring continuously.

"Teacher..." A disheveled figure hurried over. Isius, holding a smart terminal, said, "We've received news from the higher-ups. The Sera civilization has conceded, asking us to release the Star Crown Knights and not to harm their lives."

Wu Yanqing, who had his eyes tightly closed in the liquid tank, slowly opened them. "Sera is already cowardly. Emperor Campbell is indeed the most cowardly Emperor Sera in four generations."

"Wu Yanqing!" the weak Star Crown Knight shouted.

"Teacher, we can retreat now. After all, this is the territory of the Sera civilization. It will be troublesome if we are blocked by them. As for Tara, let her stay here." he said.

"Who said we should let him go?" Wu Yanqing said calmly.

Isius's throat rolled and his scalp tingled. He advised, "Teacher, if we kill him, it will really provoke a war of civilizations."

"Heh..." Wu Yanqing sneered, "Look at the look in this Star Crown Knight's eyes. I killed all his knights. Maybe his son or nephew is among them."

"He wants to devour both of us. I'm not afraid of letting him go. Aren't you afraid of being remembered by him?"

Isius was startled, and a chill suddenly rose in his heart, but he still said with a brave face: "But..."

"Don't worry, who said I was going to kill him? I was just planning to remove his gene seed." Wu Yanqing said lightly.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of chains. Tara, who had been silent the whole time, glared at him angrily, "Wu Yanqing, if you dare to remove my gene seed, I will commit suicide!"

"As you wish, sir." Wu Yanqing said casually.

Isius hesitated again and said, "Teacher, he is a Class B life form. If we are not careful, he may die in the process of culling."

"It's okay, I have experience." Wu Yanqing came out of the jar, ignored the other party's roar, and began to prepare the equipment.

…………

The next few days were uneventful. Li Ming concentrated on developing gene seeds and went to Professor Xia twice. He did not reveal for the time being that he had mastered the [Furnace Hammering Method].

I did take on two gun deals, both of which were D-level weapons, which were easily obtained. I earned a total of about 10,000 metal energy points, feeling relaxed and happy, and the balance reached 170,000.

During this time, I heard from Luochuan that Old Wu eliminated the gene seed of the Star Crown Knight, which caused some disturbances, but after all, no one was killed, and it was finally left unresolved.

The Sera civilization suffered a great loss this time, but Blue Star still has a lot to do. The impact of the Heluo Galaxy referendum may take several years to completely eliminate.

That day, in the training room, a few numbers appeared on the energy level meter - 28D

The development progress has reached 15%, and the conventional energy level is 28D.

After confirming the development progress and current strength, Li Ming did not train until night.

At around 11 o'clock in the morning, he said hello to Luochuan and asked him to take him to a place in Jiangcheng.

Luo Chuan wanted to follow, but was rejected by Li Ming on the pretext of accompanying Yang Yu for dinner. Luo Chuan didn't want to be a second-hand person, so he could only leave a message saying be careful.

After watching the other party leave, Li Ming turned back and soon arrived at Giant Shield Company.

As the Giant Shield Company on the capital of Blue Star, even if it is just one of its branches, its scale and supporting facilities are much more advanced than those of Silver Gray Star.

Led by the waiter, I walked to the delivery room with ease and opened the black suitcase that contained the equipment.

On the familiar shimmering velvet, a slender black bullet lay, seemingly devouring all the light around it.

[Night Chaser - Consumable Type: Made of Dark Flame Alloy mixed with various composite materials, it is the undertaker of death in the darkness.

Control conditions: 200,000 metal energy points

Control Ability - Dark Night: Consume the controlled object to temporarily upgrade the controller to the standard of a C-level life form.

Two hundred thousand points of metal energy made Li Ming secretly astonished. With his current metal energy, he couldn't even control it.

However, "temporarily upgrading to C-level life form standards" demonstrates its due value.

He weighed it in his hand and found it smooth and delicate. He sniffed it and found a faint metallic smell. Pinching the two ends, Li Ming looked at it under the light and the corners of his mouth gradually widened.

This bullet is extremely powerful and has a built-in silencer feature, but at the same time, it also has a fatal flaw, because it needs to hit the target to unleash its maximum power.

During the flight of the bullet, there cannot be too many collision objects, otherwise it is very likely to trigger the supergravity device inside.

Li Ming thought about it, took out the small metal box that he had prepared long ago from his arms, and put it in.
