Chapter 190 Ulrich couldn't stand the headache

Jessia glanced at him, without any thought of explaining, he just looked at the torch leader and continued:

"If anyone can build this thing in a short period of time, it should be him."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two great mechanics in the room looked over at the same time. They didn't sneer, but were just surprised and suspicious.

As fellow master mechanics, they have been confident in Jesseia's level over the past few days. To be so highly regarded by him, he must be no ordinary person.

"Who is this Qinglong?" Deyes couldn't help but ask, looking at the Torch Leader.

"An exiled great mechanic, his origins are unclear." The Torch Leader spoke vaguely, seeming to be hesitant.

"The exiled great mechanic?" Deyes was slightly stunned, causing a stir.

He knew very well what the status of the Great Mechanic was. Even in an advanced civilization, as long as one did not go so far as to launch a massacre, even if he did something unacceptable by the law, it would be harmlessly exposed.

A great mechanic who could be reduced to exile must have either committed a heinous crime or gotten into big trouble.

"Can he really do it?" The Torch Leader confirmed again.

"He's probably the most powerful mechanic I've ever seen." Jessiah said solemnly, adding, "Including His Excellency the Star King."

Deyes was completely upset this time. "Is this true? Including the Star King?"

Jessiah frowned. "I have the utmost respect for the Star King. I won't use his reputation to help others. Facts are facts."

"Every mechanical body that undergoes full-body transformation can easily become a great mechanic, and the Star King is the best among them." The old man couldn't help but say.

Mechanical body transformation is divided into several stages. The simplest one is the external limbs of the body, followed by the internal organs, and the most difficult ones are the heart and brain.

Modularity is one of the many advantages of becoming a mechanically modified body, especially after the brain is modified.

Most technologies can be processed through external data transmission, and with just a little learning, you can become a master in a certain scientific branch.

It can be said that every powerful mechanically modified body is a mechanical master.

The old man added: "If this person's ability surpasses that of the Star King, perhaps he can really create this thing."

"If a person like this needs to go into exile, then he must have caused huge trouble." Deyes looked solemn, and the words "Imperial Civilization" appeared in his mind.

He immediately felt like he was on fire and couldn't help but speak with resistance: "Don't invite him. If we work with him, we might not even know how we died in the end."

The Torch Leader frowned, "Let's not talk about the future for now. I've already sent out an invitation, but the Collector refused to let him come first."

Jessiah smiled, "When did the torch stop moving forward just because someone rejected it?"

The Torch Leader looked up and said, "I remember that you and Ulrich have a good relationship."

"It's not bad," Jessia said calmly, "but the temptation of the sublime ruins is greater for me."

"No, if you invite him, I will leave!" Deyes slammed the table. The Torch Organization's enemy is at most Islamic civilization.

Even if they lose everything, if they are captured, Islamic civilization will most likely not kill them.

But who knows what kind of trouble this guy called Qinglong has behind him.

Unknown dangers are frightening.

The Torch Leader shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Sir Deyes, when I invited you here, I already said that you can't leave until this matter is completely settled."

Deyes's face was ashen, and he was cursing in some unknown dialect that the translator couldn't understand.

………

"Sir Ulrich, I'm contacting you this time mainly to extend a sincere invitation. I hope you will bring Master Mechanic Qinglong with you to participate in our plan. Believe me, the final rewards will definitely be worth your anticipation."

Inside the Iron Castle, Ulrich stared at the virtual screen before him. It was pitch black, and the sound waves fluctuated constantly. He frowned slightly, "Didn't I already say I have no interest in participating in your plan?"

"I won't bring the Master Mechanic Qinglong with me."

The screen was silent for a moment, and then a voice came out, "This is our Torch's most sincere invitation. Please consider it carefully and don't rush to give an answer."

Ulrich was already anxious at the moment, and he snorted coldly when he heard this: "Are you threatening me?"

"I'm not one of those ignorant and backward interstellar civilizations. If you want to play, I can play with you forever!"

A voice came from the dark screen, "You misunderstood."

Ulrich pinched the virtual screen directly and frowned. When Torch invited him last time, he didn't hesitate at all and his meaning was very clear.

Logically speaking, the other party should not come close again.

He frowned, and the threat implied in the other party's tone made him even more irritated.

In the vast space deep in the castle, the surroundings are made of metal walls, shining with a cold luster. In the center is a light golden spaceship, which is the spaceship of the Judge civilization.

Armored soldiers and staff of various races were constantly moving around, and a large number of instruments were placed around.

"Ulrich has always been cautious and never got involved in any trouble, but this time he was blamed for it out of nowhere." Sandro spoke in a muffled voice. His burly body was much taller than others. He folded his arms and exuded a fierce aura.

"You seem very happy." The thin figure standing beside him was wearing combat armor and had a hoarse voice. He was a human, but the most eye-catching thing about him was his gray pupils.

"Of course, we can't let him take all the credit," Sandro said unconcernedly. "He's made a killing in the Land of Stars thanks to his unique system. He even hired a great mechanic a while ago. I'm really jealous."

"The Great Mechanic..." Theo also paused and shook his head: "That's Ulrich's own ability. We are all friends. He asked you to come here to help."

Sandro curled his lips, "You want my help? First ask that master mechanic under him to help me build an A-level weapon."

"A-level weapon? How dare you open your mouth." Ulrich said in a cold tone.

Sandro retorted, "Your people killed a B-rank cadre of mine, and you still have the nerve to ask me for help?"

Ulrich said without hesitation: "Then you can leave."

"Okay, we're all in this together. If the boat capsizes, no one can escape," Theo interrupted. Ulrich then asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"The hard drive of this spacecraft has been cleared, and there are no surveillance videos. The nerve gas residue has been confirmed to be [Eternal Sleep]."

Theo said in a deep voice: "Salad was hiding on this spaceship at the time. He was the one who did it."

He displayed a virtual screen. "The ordinary crew members were killed by nerve gas. The remaining four B-class lifeforms were too broken and seemed to have resisted."

"But after cell activity testing, the level of nerve gas in their bodies was not low. Logically speaking, they should not be able to resist." A few days have passed since the incident, and the data for analysis has been obtained.

Theo frowned slightly. "But apart from the body of the golden-eyed man, no other bodies have been found. The blood is mixed together. I'm trying to separate it out, but it's likely to be useless."

"Cerard..." Sandro shook his head. "A single B-class lifeform has brought unrest to the Land of Stars."

The burly A-class life form stroked his chin and flicked out a virtual screen. A large number of pictures flashed by, showing traces of battle inside the spacecraft. Some places were severely damaged.

"Also, the battle marks are wrong. If these people were taken down by nerve gas, there wouldn't be such obvious signs of battle inside the spacecraft."

He had a lot of combat experience. "Furthermore, five B-level life forms fought in a melee, and they couldn't even destroy the spaceship?"

"I suspect that some of the battle marks were deliberately added later. The actual fighting time was not that long."

"There's no need for Serrad to do that."

Theo's expression changed slightly, "You mean, there's another person?"

Then, he shrugged, "I'm not sure. My 'dog nose' only detected a scent that didn't belong to the corpse present. That must be Serrad."

"If there really is one, he shouldn't be a simple person. He could see through Serrad's disguise and kill him so easily. Could he be an A-level lifeform?"

Sandro meant something.

Theo's expression tensed slightly, and then he said in a deep voice, "The question is, why did Serad use nerve gas to massacre the golden-eyed people?"

"His first goal should be to leave here, not to kill people. The golden-eyed people don't want to leave? What are they doing here?"

Theo's eyes fell on Ulrich's face, and Ulrich's expression froze slightly.

Sandro added, "Kay, the golden-eyed man beside the Great Mechanic Qinglong, is the only son of a great family in the Judge Civilization."

"Ulrich, don't you have anything to say?"

Ulrich frowned and said, "I investigated and he didn't leave the floating island that day."

"He's a master mechanic, so it's no surprise he has any tricks up his sleeve," Sandro said nonchalantly. "Theo, the Casablanca Flower you spent so much money on might be in his possession."

Theo did not press Ulrich any further. Instead, he looked at Sandro and said in a deep voice, "He's only a Class B lifeform. The [Casablanca Flower] is meaningless to him. How come I didn't realize it before? Your deduction ability is so amazing."

"The four B-class life forms have been corroded by nerve gas, and their strength has been greatly reduced. Serrad excels at speed, so it's impossible for him to fight head-on. His destructive power isn't that strong. Your speculation is untenable."

Theo warned: "Don't try to take advantage of me."

Sandro snorted coldly.

Everyone was harboring ulterior motives. Ulrich's temples were throbbing. Just then, Huo Tan approached and whispered, "Master, the Judge Civilization is calling."

He took a deep breath, the suppressed fire in his heart almost bursting out. He looked around at the two of them and said in a deep voice, "Wait for me here."

He hurriedly followed Huo Tan and came to a small room, then took the smart terminal from the other party. A virtual screen was reflected, showing a man with golden eyes wearing advanced combat armor.

He came up and said, "I am Guen, the Judge Civilization, and Ulrich, the Collector. I just received news that a group of our foreign combatants died in the Land of the Stars, your territory."

"We hope you can give me an explanation."

Ulrich's face darkened. "Explain? What is the Land of Stars? You all know that no one can be safe here."

"Are you admitting that you have something to do with their deaths?" Gunn's tone was emotionless.

Ulrich's face turned grim. "Their deaths have nothing to do with me. I've already investigated. They were killed by the Anti-Hidden Star Pirate—Salad."

The other party was silent for a moment, his golden pupils flicked to the side, as if he was checking some information, but then he continued:

"We don't trust your investigation, or you can hand over the murderer within seven days, or we will take necessary measures."

"Necessary measures?" Ulrich's heart was suddenly filled with anger. Not long ago, it was the threat of the Torch Organization, and now it was the threat of the Inquisitor civilization.

He is an A-level life form after all. Do you really think he is a soft persimmon?

"Or..." The other party's tone changed appropriately, "Leave Kai to us."

Ulrich suppressed his anger and frowned. He didn't want to get involved in such matters. The Interstellar Alliance was also obsessed with that guy named Kai.

He originally thought that Qinglong would throw this person out quickly, but who knew that he had been holding him in his hand all this time.

"I'll think about it." Ulrich's expression became restrained and finally expressionless.

The other party hesitated to speak, but Ulrich's expression was extremely cold: "I am the Earth Ripper, Sky Destroyer, Collector - Ulrich!"

"So what if they're advanced civilizations? I don't want to provoke you, but you also don't want to see an A-level lifeform plotting to assassinate your top leaders all day long."

The other party was silent for a moment, "I hope you can think it over as soon as possible."

The screen went out, and there was a crackling sound - Ulrich clenched his palms, the smart terminal shattered into pieces, and sparks flew.

………

"Is this thing really that powerful?" Li Ming looked at the golden potion in his hand. He couldn't figure out whether Serad's last words were a way to delay time or the truth.

"Improve genetic potential? And improve it from the root..." Li Ming thought.

If this is the case, it will have an extraordinary impact on him.

What he controls is the amplifier, and he himself is the base.

The most fundamental strength, speed, defense, and elemental control can be amplified through amplifiers.

These aspects can only be improved by raising the level of life.
